    Nekter is the pioneer of the modern juice bar experience with a delicious menu of fresh juices, superfood, smoothies, acai bowls, and healthy snacks that can be made vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-sugar. I love the vibe and ambience here. Located in downtown Barrington this is my go to spot for fresh juices. They have a nice seating area inside. So far I have tried the recovery, the buzz , and the green apple detox . Each of the juices were so refreshing and tasted amazing. I can't wait to go back and try their smoothies and açaí bowls. They are open 7 days a week! Go check them out

    Dragon fruit bowl

    My daughter from California is in town and this is my first time trying an açaí bowl--outstanding! She got the dragon bowl (which I tried and it was very good), and I got the peanut butter bowl (also very good). I was skeptical about having an açaí bowl for a meal because I'm more of a meatatarian. But my pb bowl was pretty filling--loved all the fresh fruit. In the end, I probably prefer a smoothie as a snack, but really good stuff. Average cost is about $10, plus add ons like protein and ginger. See my pics below...

    this place is so good and the workers are so sweet. Kir and Alize are very kind and welcoming! everytime I come in they are always on task and making the best smoothies!

    The cutest, clean storefront, amazing juice, and super friendly staff. I didn't get any food and regret it. I will definitely return!!

    I love this place so much! I tried it for the first time and fell in love. I came after a workout and got their strawberry banana smoothie and it was 10/10. I cannot wait to try more items on their menu!

    I think they need more staff it was slow. We got our bowls and they were so bad. Only good part was the real fruit on the top. So overhyped.

    My favorite smoothie is the Tropical Cooler, it's made with coconut water and it's filling but light.

Though it is a little more difficult to find than some of the other locations which are more visible off the main road, this parking lot setup is a bit more spacious than what I've seen at other locations. Service is fairly fast and friendly, and the dining room doesn't feel too cramped even when it's busy. In terms of food, the quality of cooking is similar to other Egg Harbor restaurants that I've reviewed. The cooking for me is a bit on the healthier side and I enjoy the flavor combinations that I get here. While there are some more adventurous savory and sweet options available, the standards are always done well here as well. Portion sizes are fairly good and presentation is pretty good as well. Maybe the only thing I'd like to see is a bit better execution on textures here. That is, crispy items should be more crispy -- fluffy items should be more fluffy. But this is probably a result of this restaurant usually being quite busy and therefore I might not be getting the food super fast when it's done cooking from the kitchen. Overall, if you're a fan of Egg Harbor restaurants, this location will serve up your usual favorites. Worth a visit if you're visiting anything in the area and have a craving for a delicious breakfast.

Then--by pure luck--we stumbled into Hangout Cafe after dinner next door, and WOW... this place saved us. They have an amazing selection of drinks--coffee, tea, bubble tea, bubble milk tea, and bubble milkshakes--but let's be real, I was there for the bingsoo. Choosing was tough because everything sounded incredible, but I went with the strawberry bingsoo, and it was next-level delicious. Light, refreshing, perfectly sweet... 10/10. The service was fantastic, the cafe was clean and cozy, and there's even a parking lot (major win). We left already planning our next visit. Safe to say, we've officially found our new go-to dessert spot. Cannot wait to come back--HIGHLY recommend!

Chappie's was a random pick for us to go have brunch at while we were in the Palatine area. Chappie's had been on my list of brunch restaurants to check out. When we got to the restaurant it was peak lunch time and the restaurant was almost 3/4 full. We got seated promptly. We took our time to look at their menu and decide as they had a good menu variety. We ordered drinks in the meantime. I got a regular coffee and a Chappieccino (cappuccino w/ Chappie's face, Chappie being their family dog, a Corgie). We ordered a Bacado Omelet w/ a side of pumpkin spice pancakes instead of regular pancakes and hashbrowns, a Huevos Rancheros, and a special of 2 Eggs x 2 Pancakes x 2 Sausage links (instead of bacon). I had the Bacado Omelet which had bacon, avocado, scallions, cheese, and I asked for chopped jalapeños which did not have an up charge. The omelet was good. I liked the way it was cooked. The hash browns were cooked to perfection. They were exactly the way I like them, crispy and soft. They also have me a fried green chili pepper (Chile Toreado) on the side which added a nice spicy taste. The specialty pumpkin spice pancakes with pumpkin puree whipped cream was really delicious. I loved its taste. The Huevos Rancheros was the best dish at the table. It was perfectly cooked with two fried corn tortillas, eggs over easy, fried beans, red salsa, and cheese. It tasted great. I liked it more than my dish. The special of 2 Eggs x 2 Pancakes x 2 sausage links was tasty as well. We had a good experience and would go back. Definitely recommended. Check it out.

Then they switch over to Lucky Burgers which is open from 4pm until no one is there and they want to go home. Though technically I think they're open until 8 or 9pm. There are a handful of items on the Lucky Burgers' menu: about 5 variations of their classic burger, a chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, and waffle fries. When we went, the place was empty and never got busy. Which opened the door for one of the owners, Scott, to regale us with tales of days gone by from his childhood in Evanston and the famous people he knew, grew up with, and worked with. It was nice hearing these stories and it was nice to give Scott something and somebodies to talk to as well. The place has a large parking lot and is nice and clean on the inside. There is a tiny area with slot machines and a small bar/counter at the entrance. The burgers are all smashburgers. They come as singles or double patties. Go for the double as there's not a whole lot of meat once they're smashed. The differences are the toppings. Scott recommends their housemade dijonaise sauce which is good, but ask for it on the side. The cook slathers it on the burger and that's all you can taste. Once I scooped (you read that correctly) the sauce off my burger, it was a pretty good burger. The meat is seasoned well and cooked nicely and the bun holds up (despite dripping in dijonaise). We all shared the chicken tenders as an appetizer. Five nice sized tenders come in the meal and you can choose your dipping sauce. Scott recommended their honey mustard which was very good and the ranch wasn't bad either. He is also johnny-on-the-spot to refill fill your drinks. I seriously thought that I would float away. The best part is the price. All said and done for a burger, waffle fries, and a soda, with tax and tip is like $15-$18 bucks. It's a nice place that I need to go back to and visit for the Jelly Cafe side. AND return for their burgers, tenders, and more of Scott's stories.

Seeing an employee's young child (about 3 yrs old) running around the empty back room of the restaurant and then crawling up on the lower serving shelf by the kitchen where food is prepared isn't exactly an improvement. One kind of daily soup instead of two and only iceberg lettuce (not mixed greens as before) in much smaller salads isn't continuing the food quality. No one greeted us or took us to a table. After waiting (in a virtually empty restaurant for the lunch hour), we sat ourselves. Had to ask the server for menus and silverware. Very slow service. Plates of hot food left on counter while servers were dealing with the small child. Really?? Seeing the old freezer from two owners ago in the back parking lot being hosed out was creepy. It was taken out years ago due to mold issues; now it's being reused?? Scrumptious desserts (deserts are piles of sand) from this freezer?? EEEEW!!!! Paid our bill to a gentleman at the register in a dirty green t-shirt. He grunted and didn't even say "thank you". His only words were "cash or credit". Having lived in Rolling Meadows for 25+ years, Red Apple was known a quality restaurant that all ages enjoyed. Civic and church groups met there for breakfast and/or lunch. Most of the "regulars" who have been to Red Apple since the new owners took over are not returning. it's not even worth one star, but a star rating is required to post.
