    Good old ice cream place in Elburn. It has that and a lot more to get. Alice's is certainly a classic. One of those counter order seasonal places. There's also a bit of inside seating. A lot come here for ice cream of course. It has other cold treats such as slushies. This is a popular place in the summer for sure when there's not much else cool in town. Also it has hot food. There's the usual greasy stuff like burgers, chicken tenders and other meaty stuff. Certainly there's not much healthy of course. The ice cream may be the only thing without heart attack causing greasiness. Counter service like most seasonal places for ice cream. It's usually fast. The inside is pretty cramped but there's also outside seats and tables.

    Alice's Place is located in Route 47 in Downtown Elburn. It has plenty of Parking in their parking lot and also on the side street. I stopped by here for some ice cream after a hot day of fishing. The staff was pleasant, they take your order quickly and also process it quickly. I had ice cream in my hand in under 3 minutes. I chose the Large soft serve chocolate waffle cone. The size wasn't as large as I was expecting, but it was delicious regardless. My father got a chocolate malt, and my nephew and brother in law ordered Alice's version of a Blizzard. Everyone was quite pleased with their order. They do ask that you wear a mask at the window when you order due to Covid-19, and the staff all wore masks and gloves as well. Alice's was busy for a Sunday afternoon at 2pm, but it was hot and humid so that's what I would expect. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely stop there again when I'm in town.

    A cool local ice cream shop, just off of Route 47. Tons of variety for ice cream, cheap prices. A summer staple.

    The McDonald's in Elburn, Illinois has a serious problem with either incompetence or dishonesty…read morewhen it comes to honoring app discounts. On Saturday, November 15th, I opened the McDonald's app, added the $1.00 coffee offer to my drive-thru code, and placed my order at the window. The discount didn't apply. When I showed the employee my phone, she said their system was rebooting and refused to honor the deal. A few days later, I tried again at the same location with the same $1.00 coffee offer. The discount still didn't apply. The attendant told me to refresh the app, but even after doing that and generating a new code, nothing changed. When I tried to re-add the offer, the app said it had already been used. I told them to cancel my order, but later found out I was still charged. Paying three times what was expected for a cup of coffee might seem trivial, but it's frustrating and unacceptable. Either the employees don't know how to correctly process discounts, or they're choosing not to. McDonald's needs to fix this issue immediately so customers aren't overcharged for offers the company advertises but doesn't honor. Buyer beware at this location.

The food was absolutely amazing we had the smoked deviled eggs, oysters and the pears with blue cheese and toasted pistachios all were delicious!! We also had the lobster pasta wow on the sauce and they were NOT shy with the lobster! Which also was fresh and delicious! We then spilt the sea bass fish which they spilt up and brought us out our own dishes, and the owner and head chef delivered to our table himself which was such an awesome touch! And he's was so kind and wonderful to talk to! And then came the dessert which was the butterscotch pudding.......WOW I'm pretty sure this was made in Heaven! Carson was our waiter and was wonderful too!! He is delightful and very knowledgeable of the entire menu and all the drinks I'm a very picky wine drinker and he gave me the perfect recommendation after listening to me. The overall experience is truly one of my favorites!! And the ambience is wonderful too!! We loved the open kitchen as well!! If you haven't been, GO!! You will not be disappointed!!

It was just too hot sitting there and also noisy from the kitchen and orders being called out, etc. Asked (I think) the manager, Amanda, if there's any way we can move to another table cause we are just sweating and wouldn't be able to survive through dinner, haha! We also had our 83 year old grandma there so we were even more concerned for her well being. Amanda was accomadating with offering us a different table as long as we could finish in 90 minutes. I told her I'll take it! She felt bad for the time limit also, but I told her I appreciate her accommodation even more. The food and drinks turned out great and the service was superb along with a unique ambiance! Definitely recommend!
