    Chopped cheese sandwich.
    Anthony O.

    The food was great. I had a chopped cheese sandwich. I'm from Chicago and would definitely come back for another one. The service was great the guys behind the counter were very nice and polite. The place itself was very clean.

    Fries... delicious fries.

    We took a drive out to visit the mother in law the weekend before Christmas and realized we were all starving a little around 1 pm. My husband worked in the place where Josh's is located back in the 80's... long before it became Josh's. We walked in and found it to be clean (I used the bathroom, which is how I judge how clean the place is... the bathroom was clean and smelled nice)... we ordered a couple dogs, and some fries. Everything was really good. The hubs and teens were happy with their lunch. Service was quick and done with a smile! While we were eating, an employee walked over to our table and said he realized he over-charged us and gave my husband change. We never would have known and appreciated his gesture. Next time we are out that way, we will have to grab some dogs!

    Huge fan of Josh's in Northbrook. I've tried a couple things from their menu from the chicken gyro, spicy gyro, hotdog, the spicy polish and their chopped cheese, yes they have a chopped cheese here. What once I thought I could only get from New York, I now am able to get here and it honestly is me favorite thing on the menu. On top of that, being a huge Wrestling Fan, I love the pictures with all superstars the owner (I'm assuming) has met, a wrestling belt and a couple of wrestling figures. Is one of my go to spots for a quick eat in Northbrook but if you go on a weekday during lunch hours, expect it to be a bit busy! 5 all day!!!!

    Perfect blend of the Chicago style on a warm poppyseed bun. Dog snapped with my biting in fries were super hot and with a bottled soda all for $11 including tax

    The sandwich.

    If rating the hot dog meat by itself, five stars. Skin on, pops when you bite it, perfect. Unfortunately the hot dog as a sandwich is a complete fail here. Bun was hard and crusty, stale tasting. Not steamed, but instead just off a shelf. Ruined the enitre hot dog. Fries. As fries by themselves, were good. But are not thbrkind you expect at a hot dog place. Instead like McDonald's style. So, not really good match with hot dog. I grew in the area and happened to be back in town after twenty years. I remember this place for my entire childhood under the founder and original owner. This iteration under a new name is not even close. Although it's more expensive, I recommend Little Louie's in same town. Like here, that place too has changed ownership. But it retains all the good things it had under the original version.

    Decent fast food, but on the pricey side, in comparison to other local eateries. Nothing was exceptional on my visits there.

You can order different levels of spiciness. If you don't like spicy chicken, order the 1st level. It's not spicy at all. I order level 2. I've tried level 3 and it was too spicy for me. I find level 2 to be perfect, has the kick I enjoy, but not overly so and blow out my taste buds. We went when they had their $5 hot chicken sandwiches in honor of National Hot Chicken day. Not surprisingly, it was very busy. They still put out good food and EXCELLENT service. Everyone was so nice and they all handled the flow of people very well. I was so impressed. One of the managers, came around to the tables to tidy up and check in on all the guests. I have to remember to come more often!

Man sat in the drive-thru for 2.5 HOURS. I wish I was exaggerating. At some point he had already gotten his shake and drink... and then just... continued waiting another 45 minutes for the food like it was a full-time job. Now here's the crazy part, after ALL that... the chicken was still a 10/5 for me Like??? How is it THAT good even after that experience?? I can only imagine how amazing this place is on a regular, non-chaotic, why-did-you-do-this-to-yourself type of day. Because if this was a 5/5 THROUGH the drive-thru madness... I'm already sold. Moral of the story: don't be like my husband. Go on a normal day. But DEFINITELY go. Delicious!!

    Social Inn has been on my to-try list for some time.  My husband and I finally had a chance to…read morecheck it out on a Monday evening recently.  I made a reservation via Tock that I already had an account for years, so that was simple. On a weekday evening, as expected, the restaurant was not busy.  We were promptly seated at a 4-top table (2 × 2-top) against the right wall, with some other 2-tops on both sides.  Like many reviewers had mentioned, the venue was beautiful, modern and chic. There were 7 tables occupied, including us.  The music that they had was not too loud, just that customers' conversations were amplified by the box shape open dining area.  If we focused enough, we could hear every conversation if we wanted to.  This was obvious when a table of about 6 women got seated at a table near the front door, some of them laughed and talked very loudly.  My husband and I just found it funny and didn't let that bother us.  However, when the restaurant is filled on busier days, it might be a different story. Our server, Patrick, was very nice and attentive.  Since they did not list drinks on their menu except those with alcohol, I asked him about non-alcoholic drinks.  After a brief "discussion", he asked me to leave it to him to make me a drink with mango.  He came up with a beautiful drink that was good and refreshing, with some mango flavor.  It was Virgin Paloma on our receipt for $8, which was reasonable.  He was very polite and checked in on us several times at appropriate times during our dinner.  The pace of the dinner was good, we spent a total of an hour and 15 minutes in the restaurant. Patrick might be the only waiter serving all the tables that evening, though. I also ordered Grilled Octopus ($22) which was very good, tender and flavorful, but was a little too salty to my taste.  The small pita bread wedges were warm and fluffy with some crispy edges, the beet hummus was creamy, and everything was delicious and tasted fresh.  I generously shared 2 little bites of octopus with my husband and I finished the entire plate, it was so good!  My husband really liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) and I shared a bite of that too.  He also had a House Salad for $6, that was a very good value.  He enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Crossing ($12) too.  We also shared an order of Crème Brulee ($8), that was creamy and cooked perfectly.  We ordered a takeout order of Rigatoni with Sausage ($23), that was a good portion, and was still delicious and al dente the next day after being microwaved. I am so happy that we found Social Inn - a hidden gem in Plaza del Prado, it's not far from home, with comfortable and beautiful ambiance, excellent service (from Patrick), an attractive menu with enticing food (fresh ingredients and appealing plating), and reasonable prices, we will definitely be back!

    It's been a while since I went to Social Inn. They used to be open for lunch as well as dinner, and…read morethat was easier for me to get to. We were in the area late in the day and remembered Social Inn was open, so we went. We ordered a variety of items. I had the Social Burger (at least 1/2 pound), we also ordered their chicken dinner salad and the beet hummus. Everything was delicious. I did order my burger medium and it was delivered well done, but it was still good. They also have one of the best gluten-free buns I've ever had. I do wish they were open at lunch time still, but I understand they need to be open for their busiest hours. Social Inn is a great option when you are in the Glenview area.

My sister and I went over for a late supper and sat on the patio as the weather was pretty nice for April. They have a great menu so after ordering a cocktail we settled on salads and started with some chips and guacamole. Well let me tell you the appetizer could've been dinner! It was a huge portion and the guac was so fresh and good! We put a small dent in it before our salads arrived. Can you say to go boxes! Not disappointed with the salads either! I had a nice Cesar salad with grilled chicken and my sister had a salad with sweet potato and brussel sprouts, both very good! Our waitress kept checking on us and we actually closed them down since we came late and closing was at ten but they didn't rush us! If you're ever in Glenview Illinois check them out!
