    Short ribs waffle with cheddar and scallions
    Courtney T.

    Delicious and hearty brunch food, great after working up an appetite hiking waterfall glen. I ordered the half matcha waffle (which didn't really taste at all like matcha) and the half breakfast order of an egg, sausage links, toast, and potatoes. It was plenty of food for one person, the food came out quick and hot. Someone at my table orderedThe cinnamon waffle and said it was rather small for being the full size entree. The short rib and cheesy waffle looked amazing. One star deduction because I ordered cheese on my eggs and it came without, and I was given a dirty glass for drinking water.

    Chicago Waffles Willowbrook was one of the few Breakfast places that was open for Christmas Day today so we had to stop by! They were busy but we were seated immediately. They have a beautiful pink leaf tree in the middle of the restaurant which definitely adds to the ambiance. Food was good as well can't complain :)

    The food here was pretty good and the ambiance was cute. Unfortunately the service was terrible - I asked for one Diet Coke 10 times over 20 minutes and was told sure one second and then it never came. We also tried to order for over 15 minutes and were told sure one minute. That should have been our sign to leave. The server seemed like she was overwhelmed but her section was almost empty while we were there. The music is also INCREDIBLY LOUD - almost like you're in a club. Cannot even hear the person next to you. We asked them to lower the music and they said sure one minute and never did it.

    Beware! Take your hard earned money elsewhere! The worst breakfast we have had in a very long time. The one and ONLY saving grace was the server, Linda. She was super sweet, attentive and so apologetic for our experience. Walking in we were hopeful. The place was big and spacious. The menu had many different and interesting selections. Now for the real deal: my food and my husband's was brought out first. His "10 oz" steak (more like a 6 oz.) looked like a steak from the dollar store (son's words). It was ordered medium rare and came out as dry as the desert. My son's plate came out after a significant wait. Why wouldn't they bring the food out together? He ordered a waffle sandwich with Steak, eggs, onions, and red pepper (the Hungry man). What he got was no steak (maybe a couple of pea sized pieces of beef) and a LOT of mushrooms. My son doesn't like mushrooms. I think they added mushrooms instead of steak and tried to deceive us. SMH. In the end, Linda comped our meal after we complained as nicely as possible. We still tipped her coz she was awesome. Beware: the management cheats it's customers and should be ashamed!

    Food was good and service were amazing! The only reason i would not come back is due to the prices. For a mexican skillet with choco chip pancakes, it costed $20.50, which was not worth at all. Ambience is welcoming! Our waitress was really nice. She was always smiling- forgot her name. Everything was great-- but I wouldn't return due to the prices.

    Half order chicken & waffles.
    Amy B.

    Highly recommended the chicken and waffle- it was amazing and so flavorful! The spicy syrup worked deliciously with the chicken- make sure you include a piece of scallion in your bite! The bacon within the waffle was great with the traditional sweet syrup. It was a very visually and taste- satisfying meal. The half order was plenty for my lunch. Would absolutely go back! The waitress was hustling and busy, but I didn't feel neglected.

    Been coming here since Waffle House took over Matty's. We used to live in Chicago. We used to go to the waffle house on 14th and Michigan now retired out in the suburbs been coming to the KINGERY location for the last six years. Cannot go wrong ordering anything from there menus. Our favorites are the Waffles and French Toast dishes. Breakfast to the Burgers are all Great choices.

    Hello Chicago Waffles! My partner and I stopped in for brunch and had a great experience this past visit! The portions of the food are excellent for the price! I recommend the Mediterranean omelette (Tip: ask for the dipping sauce if you get a side of potatoes!). I always opt for a side pancake and my partner gets toast. Both are great! If you are looking for an instagram-worthy moment, head to the back where you will find an adorable grass wall and a neon sign!

    Service was friendly, they had so many options for sweet and savory, breakfast and lunch. And some boozy drink options if you're so inclined. Portions were decent and I like that they had a few half portions options as I wasn't super hungry when I came by. Overall a decent brunch place if you're in the area!

    This is a unique breakfast place. You will find items that you don't normally see at your typical breakfast/lunch restaurant. Prices depending on what they are, can be from low to moderate. Service was okay. The first girl that brought our menus, can work on her customer service manner. She didn't seem like she wanted to be there. That's why I took off one star. Our waiter Velasco was wonderful. He made sure we were taken care and checked back often. I would recommend trying the half orders and sharing if you don't know which waffle to go with. We had 3 half orders of cheddar and short rib, bacon and chicken, and liege waffle. We also tried the waffle flight. Short ribs were very tender to cut and had a nice pink color inside. Fried chicken was succulent inside and the right amount of chew. Bacon was very crispy. The seasonal fruit on the liege was fresh. The red velvet waffle was not too sweet. I would recommend.

    This is such a cute spot in Willowbrook. The inside is so much cuter than the strip mall it is in so don't let that deter you. The restaurant is trendy and chic and incredibly clean. They have a cute spot in the doorway perfect for your Social Media photo ops! Our server was very kind and attentive. I ordered the Waffles with Short Ribs and Cheddar. It was an interesting combo for sure. I'm not sure I would order it again but, they have a huge Menu so there are definitely other items I'd love to try. If you like ambiance and great service head there soon!

    amazing service !! would 100% recommend. so attentive to your needs and the food is amazing!! the staff is so kind!

    the service was just amazing !! the staff is so kind and attentive to your needs. the food is also soo amazing, i had the chilaquiles and the flavor was immaculate. it's such a nice environment & is cozy! would 100% recommend.

It was 5:45, I didn't have a reservation, a they didn't have a table available until 7:30 but there were spots at the bar which they said was full service. My friend and I cozied up to it and ate there. What a surprisingly good experience. The staff was super friendly and that bartenders had great suggestions. I hate when people at the restaurant say everything is good. Not these young ladies. They made some sound suggestions which we followed. French onion soup and the steak frites were both excellent and priced well IMO. They have a really good whiskey/bourbon selection with a few hard to find bottles. I settled on a Blantons neat. They had Pappy, but I'm not wasting money on that anymore. Food came out quickly and we ate and watched a baseball game. The locals at the bar told us about their membership program where I guess for a small mo they fee you get a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate once a month. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I'd certainly join. In any case, if you live anywhere close, this is definitely a worthwhile restaurant to visit. Seems like there were quite a few singles there as well if you are looking to meet someone. I have no idea what the dating scene is like in Lemont, but this might be a good spot to try.

The WineStation and the half-price wine bottles on Wednesdays are great touches. They also have excellent happy hour specials, which makes it even easier to stop in after work or kick off a night out. It's honestly one of the better deals in town given the quality of the drinks. They've got gaming machines if you want to unwind and play a bit, and the old classic movies running in the background give the place a cool, unique vibe you don't see everywhere. Service is top-notch across the board. Every bartender I've had there has been outstanding, but Betty deserves a special shout-out -- she's friendly, sharp, and genuinely great at what she does. All around, this place nails it: great drinks, a strong happy hour, gaming, old movies, and staff who actually care. One Eleven Martini Parlour is a go-to spot, and I'll keep coming back.

We arrived on a Friday night just before 9:00 PM and had no trouble finding street parking--always a win. We were greeted by our waitress, Jennifer, who was absolutely amazing. She let us know about their late-night perk: half-price small plates and select drinks on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 PM until close, which is such a great incentive for heading out later in the evening. Jennifer was attentive without being intrusive--our water glasses were always full, she checked in after every course, and her recommendations for both food and drinks were spot-on. We started with a Mad Rose for V and a Chameleon for me. Both cocktails were delicious, and after finishing his Mad Rose, V definitely felt the celebratory spirit kicking in. For appetizers, we shared the Vietnamese Summer Rolls and Sweet Chili Calamari. The summer rolls were light, fresh, and nicely accented with mint. The calamari was sweet with a surprisingly spicy finish--delicious, though the heat was just a bit much for V. I'd happily order both again. For my main course, I had the Wagyu Beef Stroganoff, and wow--hands down the best stroganoff I've ever had. The beef was incredibly tender, and the sauce was perfectly balanced with the noodles. It even paired beautifully with my Chameleon, with subtle lemon notes that complemented each other surprisingly well. V ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop, cooked medium well and absolutely perfect. He loved every bite. It came with a risotto that he enjoyed, even if it wasn't the standout of the dish. Dessert sealed the deal. We finished with Sandy's White Wine Cake--which reminded me of a carrot cake in the best way--and the Banana Cream Pie, which was easily the best banana cream pie I've ever had. Truly a WOW moment. Between the excellent food, thoughtful service, and great late-night specials, Entourage made V's birthday celebration one to remember. We'll definitely be back. Sorry, I wish I had pics but I left my phone behind today.

I ordered from Entourage Downers Grove and was honestly impressed with how well everything held up for delivery. The standout for me was the lobster bisque. It arrived at the perfect temperature, which is pretty impressive for delivery. The bisque was rich and luscious without feeling overly heavy, and the basil oil added a nice brightness that balanced the creaminess beautifully. It also had a generous amount of lobster, including several large chunks, and was a very solid portion overall. The filet mignon sliders were another highlight. Each slider had a substantial piece of filet mignon topped with pickled onions, microgreens, and horseradish cream on brioche buns. The onions and horseradish added enough acidity and bite to balance the richness of the beef without overpowering it. I also tried the Vietnamese summer rolls, filled with roasted shiitake mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and rice noodles, served with both peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce. Everything tasted very fresh, and the sauces complemented the generously stuffed rolls nicely. My only small critique is that cutting them in half made for a prettier presentation, but made them a little awkward to dip and eat. Overall, this was a surprisingly strong delivery experience, and I would absolutely order from them again, or better yet, make it over to the restaurant itself next time I'm in the area.

From the moment we walked in, we were one of three groups of patrons. One gentleman sitting up at the bar, one table of ladies and my husband and I up at the bar. We sat for almost 10 minutes before the waitress walked over with some water and said the bartender will be with you in a few minutes and apologized. The bartender at no point in time ever said hello, welcome in. Terrible service as far as that goes. My husband ordered two drinks and I ordered one drink and they were excellent. As we sat there waiting to be asked what we would like to be served and after we were finally served, we sat and listened to what seemed to be like lounge music. We came in because of the holiday season and we're looking forward to listening to some holiday music playing in the background in addition to the holiday theme. I was surprised by both that the holiday theme was a tree by the front door and not much else around and no holiday music. The question we ask ourselves is will we be back. I don't know and I think at this point for what it costs to have a nice cocktail and not have the right person tending bar or maybe my expectations were set high for the holidays. There's probably a 50-50 chance that we will ever be back. There are so many places within a 10 minute radius that will probably be delighted to have our business. Such a huge disappointment, but we try not to let that hamper our mood. Today's generation needs to learn social skills.

I love that their menu changes so often each season with so many different drinks to try and they are all super inventive. I also love that they sometimes put fun little items on the drinks, such as a page from a book, a temporary tattoo, or a piece of candy. This time, they had their spring 2026 menu. I looked at their Instagram page before coming and decided exactly what I wanted. It's so fun how they write a little story to go along with each cocktail and the thought process behind it. It definitely makes the drinks feel more personal and special. We started off with the Rose Tico Conundrum (very sweet and came with a little piece of raspberry candy) and Pepe Silvia's Pickle Party Plot (really delicious, was surprised by this one). Next we tried the speciality API month drink called Gratitude in Bloom (tasted very gingery and lemony, almost like a healthy tea drink) and the Springtime Thought Crime (very strong with a hint of cherry). There isn't much seating so it's not great for huge groups but I think there is a patio. It's a pretty casual spot and great for just hanging out. The music is loud but the vibe is fun. The bartenders and servers are always amazing and super attentive. They do not serve their own food, but I think they have a food truck sometimes that you can order from and they'll bring it to you. I could be wrong about that, but the people next to us had tacos brought to them on paper plates, which looked delicious.
