If ever there was a classic old school diner, this is the place. It's not really old but the décor…read moreis so '50s, you can just imagine greasers pulling up in their hotrods and swaggering inside. The best seats in the house are at the counter, where you can banter with the staff and watch the action on the grill. The owner and his staff are super-friendly and accommodating. On this visit, we were with a large group seated in the smaller dining room next to the gaming room. The restaurant was full and the kitchen got backed up; a few in our group did not receive their food until after others had finished their meals. You get a ton of food; most lunches include a bowl of soup, fries and slaw. On a previous visit, I ordered a chicken Philly sandwich that was messy to eat but okay. This time, I began with beef barley soup that tasted like it came out of a red and white can, but the LA wrap was a winner and the accompanying fries were perfect. My Missus gave the Meatloaf Special 5 stars.

Pleasantly surprised when visiting Joe Donuts! The Itasca location is within the Ricky Rockets Fuel…read moreCenter. They have their own dedicated entrance, seating areas inside & outside, and a nice ordering counter. They have a wide variety of donut flavors but they seemed to be selling fast since it's the weekend. I highly recommend coming early to have your choice of donuts as I'm not sure how often they restock. When visiting, I tried their Boston Cream donut, Gimme My Regular breakfast sandwich, and Caramel High-Rise Coffee. The donut had a really good flavor of chocolate icing and custard filling. I got my coffee iced and it was the perfect sweet coffee treat. The breakfast sandwich was by far the favorite. The portion was huge and is easy to share or have leftovers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would certain come back!

I have never heard of Fox & Turtle before, but looking at the NW Chicago Restaurant week, it looked…read moredelicious to try. I was treating my parents for my dad's birthday month (My daughter has a lot of activities, lol) and the menu appeared to have something for everyone. The 22 minute drive to Itasca was so worth it! The restaurant, which is open to the public, is on the same property as the Itasca Country Club, which is not open to the public. You go down the stairs, through the developing pizza bar, and to the restaurant. The restaurant space itself is cozy, with beautiful, natural lighting, and lots of seating options. We were asked booth or table and seated right by the picture window with beautiful views of their ice rinks and golf course. The food was above and beyond my expectations! Between the 5 people at the table, I sampled the French Onion soup, Sweet & Spicy Brussels, Bacon Smash Burger, Pot Roast Grilled Cheese, Sweet Tees (Donut Holes), Peanut Butter Smore-o, and Verde Dulce. The soup was not salty as I find some iterations, the brussels had complex flavors with hot honey, bacon, candied pistachios, and crumbled feta. The pot roast grilled cheese was very flavorful, but my boyfriend did state he wished the sandwich had more meat in it. The Sweet Tees donut holes were cooked to perfection without being oily and the jam accompaniment was a perfect texture and level of sweet. The Peanut Butter Smore-o was creamy and decadent with its perfectly ratioed layers of ganache, peanut butter mousse, Oreos, and whipped cream. The Verde Dulce, though, was the delicious classic olive oil cake with pistachio gelato & that throwback of candied pistachios from my appetizer. Even better than the food, our server, Kara, was one of the sweetest, most attentive human beings! She answered all of our questions, refilled our fountain drink and iced tea glasses when they were at 75% without prompting, made sure my dad felt celebrated with a candle, etc. Her teammate who was in charge of clearing our table was also prompt and I appreciate her asking what plates she could take. Overall, it was a beautiful late morning/early afternoon with delicious food and impeccable service. 10/10 recommend!!!

If you haven't discovered Fox & Turtle yet, you're missing one of the best hidden gems in the area…read more I was genuinely surprised to learn it's open to the public because it feels every bit like an upscale private country club. The outdoor patio overlooking the golf course is absolutely beautiful--relaxing, scenic, and the kind of place that makes you feel like you're on vacation. Even on a busy Thursday evening, the atmosphere was lively without ever feeling hectic. Our server, Jordyn, was outstanding. She looked young, but don't let that fool you--she was completely on top of everything. We were a party of six that couldn't decide what we wanted, laughed way too loudly, and probably tested her patience more than once. She handled us with grace, humor, and a smile the entire time. Somewhere along the way we started calling her "Wednesday" from The Addams Family, and she rolled with it perfectly. Great sense of humor and fantastic service. The food was excellent. The Crispy Eggplant Salad was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and easily large enough to share between two people. The burger was cooked perfectly, the cocktails were outstanding, and everything arrived promptly. The bar staff also deserve a shout-out. They were welcoming from the moment we arrived, made great eye contact, acknowledged everyone immediately, and had drinks in our hands in no time. That's the kind of hospitality that makes people want to come back. Fox & Turtle has the rare combination of great food, attentive service, excellent drinks, and a beautiful setting. It's the kind of place you expect to find inside an exclusive club, yet thankfully it's open for everyone to enjoy. We'll definitely be back.

The biscuits and Honey butter are a true, Southern style treat and loved the little touches, like a warm syrup bottle. The chicken, bacon Belgian waffle I ordered with cheese and scrambled eggs (minus the gravy) was a huge and tasty portion. I took half of it home. Our server was very helpful and polite and made sure to check on us often and ensure we had everything we needed. Love the ease and speed of paying up front, on the way out, where you can purchase additional items, like jams or pancake mix. My only wish was they had Coke products over Pepsi, but otherwise a great place for a casual business or personal meal.

I love the variety of their food menu! They have steak, salmon, chicken, pork, shrimp, duck, lamb, pasta, and some really nice appetizers. We ordered the charcuterie board and thought it was the perfect size for the two of us. Not many places offer duck, so I had to order it for dinner! The duck leg comes with carrots and duck fat roasted potatoes. It was incredibly delicious and tender. The flavor of the sauce was rich and paired great with the carrots and potatoes. Only thing is I did think some of the prices were a bit high compared to some other places I've been that serve similar quality food. Our waiter was nice and provided good service overall! I think this would be a cute spot for a date night.

We were seated immediately and greated by Marc our server who was amazing. They have an extensive wine and bourbon list as well as a variety of crafted cocktails. I had a Buffalo Trace Old Fashion and my wife had a Pimms Cup. Both were very good . Since my wife is Gluten Free,they have a large selection of items to choose from . Started with the Burrata appetizer and an order of baked oysters. Delicious! For our main entrees we had the Shells on Shells pasta which was loaded with seafood but my wife was disappointed that the pasta was not shell pasta. I had the Shrimp Bruschetta which was loaded with shrimp and tasted amazing. Portions are huge but they were so good we had no leftovers .lol. For our Anniversary they surprised us with some gelato and I had to try their famous Bourbon Pecan Pie. Very good but I brought half of it home. We ended the night with an Expresso Martini. This is truly a hidden gem located in downtown Roselle.
