We had a wonderful experience at Fontinas this past Sunday evening. It was clear they were…read moreshort-staffed, and the owner was personally waiting tables while juggling everything else. Despite a very busy and challenging evening, he stayed professional and did his best to take care of everyone. Once things slowed down, he took the time to chat with us, and his warmth and genuine hospitality really stood out. The food was delicious, the family-style option made for a great dining experience, and the owner's dedication to his customers left a lasting impression. Every restaurant has the occasional tough night, but it's how they handle those moments that says the most. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try!

I ordered Fontina's through DoorDash. I wanted a roast beef sandwich. The sandwich was beyond my…read moreexpectations! The amount of meat was phenomenal! It was thinly sliced and very tender. I asked for lettuce and red onions. Both were fresh and plentiful. I had read reviews about their excellent meatballs. I had to see for myself if they were good. They were great!

Checked out this unassuming cafe and deli. Ellie's Deli is one of the best places in Naperville. It…read morecertainly isn't the best known since it's hidden away in some crappy plaza. Gets crowded. The menu features lots of salads and sandwiches like any deli should have really. Basically it has many of the classics. It's one of those places you order at the counter and they bring it out. There's also many of the customers who get takeout. A bad thing is it can take a long time to get anything. Lots of times they're really slow. It's about $10 for a Beyond Burger. This is one of the main vegetarian options. A pretty typical one with the basic toppings but nothing special to be honest. Of course there's lots of paninis filled with meat. There's also the Reuben made with the classic corned beef, or it can be made with pastrami. Also has it available as vegetarian made with mushrooms. The rest of the menu has the typical stuff like chicken salad and egg salad. For sure it's a great place at lunch except for being crowded. It's located on 75th Street at Millbrook. The place is always crowded so most seem to get takeout.

I ordered 2 sandwiches and it took about 15 minutes. When I got the sandwiches home they were not good. Instead of the turkey being shaved nice and thin like it usually is it was sliced about 1/8 inch thick, it was gross. The meat to cheese to veggie ratio was all messed up, just a big mouthful of meat. I couldn't even eat half the sandwich because it was simply not appealing. Businesses need to do better, everything is so expensive and having to throw away a $12 sandwich sucks. It will be a while before I return to this location.

On behalf of the PTA at Prairie Children Preschool, we partnered with Asada Mexican Grill to cater…read moreour Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week luncheon, and the experience was outstanding. We ordered the buffet-style package, which worked perfectly for accommodating a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and halal options. The pricing was extremely fair for the amount and quality of food we received. We ordered double portions to serve 118 people, and the setup filled four rows of tables, as shown in the photo. The order came with everything we could have needed. I worked directly with the owner, Sharif, who was incredible throughout the entire process. His communication was excellent, he helped recommend the best options for our specific needs, and he was very understanding of the limited lunch breaks our teachers and staff had. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Even with the generous portions, everything was gone quickly because everyone loved it. Sharif truly went above and beyond with both the quantity and service. Next time, I'll definitely plan to order even more because it was such a hit. It also means a lot to support a local business owner who has children in District 204. That community connection made the experience feel even more personal and meaningful.

A Halal Restaurant Posing as a Mexican Restaurant…read more The only thing Mexican themed here is the name of the place. You want Falafels?! You got it! You want Tamales or Chorizo? Forget it! I truly had high hopes for this establishment when I saw the sign. Once I walked inside and took one look at the menu board, I knew this wasn't going to be a good experience. Asada has an extremely limited menu and the food is crappy. I ordered tacos to go and ended up throwing them out after a couple of bites. I can't seek about the Halal food, however, Taco Bell serves better tacos than this joint. The staff also looked "less than thrilled" to be working that night. The only thing going for this place is that the establishment has a large, comfortable dining room. Plenty of other Mexican restaurants in the Fox Valley area to go to than this.

My son and I decided to have lunch at the new Naperville Byrd's recently. The strip mall has a…read morereasonable amount of parking. The interior of Byrd's has a red & black color scheme and sports-themed graffiti, not terribly different from other chicken places like Dave's or Hangry Joe's. The interior at all of these chicken places is kiddish. There's a decent amount of seating with 8 or so tables. There are also a couple of arcade machines in the back near the washrooms. We ordered a 5-piece chicken finger meal with fries (mild heat), and a chicken sandwich (medium heat). Each one included their signature sauce. There are utensils and ketchup available for self-service. The chicken fingers were cooked well, but with mild seasoning (one level above plain), there wasn't much flavor at all. With the chicken sandwich, there was an okay amount of flavor, but definitely not a flavor bomb. Plus, the chicken piece was noticeably slimmer than Dave's or Hangry Joe's. I would say Dave's is the most flavorful, but Hangry Joe's is pretty good too. Service was friendly and pricing was reasonable, but I don't find Byrd's as flavorful as its competition.
