The former JD's Que and Brew has been transformed into a lovely fast casual Greek restaurant with…read morecounter service. There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

My partner got the miso udon and it was also overly salted. Whoever is cooking i hate to say this but its just not good and not being made the way it is in the original ramen house. I would like to say the staff are great and kind. there were no issues with them. Lots of smiles and greetings its just the food so i guess ill do two starts for the staff..?

If you are looking for authentic Central Asian cuisine, Sorry Mama Cafe is a must-visit!…read moreWe ordered the hand-pulled noodles (Lagman), fresh traditional bread (Tandyr Nan), and beef kebabs (Shashlik). The Lagman was incredible -- rich, flavorful broth, tender beef, and perfectly chewy noodles. The bread came out warm, fluffy on the inside with a crisp crust, making it perfect to dip in the broth. The kebabs were juicy, well-seasoned, and paired wonderfully with sliced onions and sauce. The service was excellent -- the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere is welcoming, the tea complements the meal perfectly, and the portion sizes are very generous. Highly recommended! And more park lots . 5 of 5.

You absolutely have to try the boorsok--they're freshly fried, served hot with sour cream, and are incredibly tasty. The plov was also amazing, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The gyuru lagman itself was delicious, with great flavor and perfectly prepared noodles. The only thing that could be improved was the meat. It wasn't very tender, and it seemed like it either wasn't cooked long enough or wasn't the best quality. Aside from that, the dish was very enjoyable. Overall, it's a lovely place with great hospitality and authentic, delicious food. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

We stopped in for brunch on a Sunday. The dining room has a contemporary design but also has…read moreelements that remind you of the prior Baker's Square. Overall it is cheerful and comfortable but the air conditioning was cranked up a little too much making me want to leave as soon as possible. The service was friendly and attentive although we were seated next to the kitchen so we overheard many of the staff's comments as they were going in and out of the kitchen. One of the waitstaff was clearly counting down the three hours left on his shift. The food was okay. While reviewing the menu you'll like notice the low prices. While that was nice to see you do get what you pay for. For 13 dollars and change I got the VIB breakfast where you pick four items from a few different categories. I chose scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, bacon and half a waffle. The portions were small and most of the food likely only needed to be reheated to be served. We are glad we gave Village Inn a try but will likely opt for a different place next time.

I'm originally from the PNW (Seattle). Moved to SoCal 35 years back then to Chicagoland almost 3…read moreyears ago. Loved Village Inn. And even SoCal had a few until they almost all petered out. And Baker's Square closed YEARS ago in SoCal. Missed their pies and baked goods! So imagine my (pleasant) surprise when I found this little place in Palatine! I decided to head there for a brekky on a cool May morning. Stepped in, saw all the breads, pastries, and pies along the front counters- wow. I was greeted warmly and seated instantly. My waitress came right away, and I ordered unleaded (decaf for those in the know). It came in a little pot, ala IHOP, and was really, really GOOD. Wow. Decaf has come a long ways from the Sanka days! I ordered the INN-CREDIBLE V.I.B. which allowed me to order 4 yummy items of my choice - I chose the french toast (yummy and spiced just right albeit w/room temp syrup- not a deal-breaker but notable), a strawberry crepe (totally awesome strawberries, but the crepe was a bit colder than expected); scrambled eggs (always a nice stalwart) and two turkey sausage links (as with the frenchie above, nicely flavored!). The ambience was modern, updated, and felt welcoming and (thankfully) a bit familiar. Brought back some good ol' memories even if only the Baker's Square part of the menu was just pies nowadays. But the Village Inn lives on! And that counts - and I'll return. You should check it out too if you enjoy a good brekky at a classic American diner!

I smell it through the bag and couldn't wait until I got home to taste it. With the first bite, I was absolutely blown away. There is no comparison because the flavors out performs every sandwich shop in the area. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and I know I will certainly return again and again. What a wonderful gem!
