The food is still delicious! I always get breakfast and this time I ordered the Grandma plate, which was awesome. You can see my pictures below. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because our server was unusually sassy and we could tell she was using a passive aggressive tone to share her displeasure of us asking questions. We still tipped, but not our usual. The kids all bought toys from the store and we left with great memories! The vibe is comfortable and we will be back. It's the closest one to our house... 45 min away.

First, I don't know how many times we circled around to find the entrance until we realized we have to go through the gift shop to get in. Second, the menu was very limited. There wasn't really anything appetizing but since we're already there, we just ordered whatever from the menu. We got two steak entrees, a fish and fries, another item I can't remember. Yeah that's how bad the experience was. As expected, nobody enjoyed it. No one finished any of the entrees. There's no condiments available in the tables. I wanted catsup for my friends but we didn't know where the server was. There was only one other customer in the restaurant so it wasn't busy at all. We spent over $100 here for a meal we didn't enjoy. Never again.....

This review is also about their tech support which we had to call for a lot in the past year: first to upgrade our system as we put it in 18 years ago; and then because we remodeled our basement so they had to come out a few times to deal with construction dust setting things off, moving motion detectors when walls were moved, adding new window contacts etc. Two of their service techs specifically are amazing: Gus and Mara. I feel extremely lucky when they send either of them out. Especially Mara. She stands out as being the most competent service tech - of *any company* I have ever dealt with. She assesses the situation, makes recommendations for better solutions, advocates for the customer if needed, and then executes the solution flawlessly, efficiently, quickly. Again shout out to Gus who is A+ but I have to give Mara an A++!

After speaking with a multitude of companies, I was met with many dead ends. With these previous companies, communication would stop or people wouldn't show. Then I contacted Christensen Computer Company. Richard called me very shortly after I sent a request. He was flexible with scheduling a day to come look at our cameras. He was very communicative during the whole process and always made sure I received a call back. When he got here to look at the camera, he immediately started investigating. I don't know much about cameras, but I knew our system was older and had a LOT going on. I could tell right away, Richard was very knowledgeable. He immediately spotted all the little pieces of our system and how it was connected, and confirmed it did have a LOT going on. However, this did not deter him. Richard explained to me how our system was set up and started talking about different solutions depending on the problem. Our camera ended up needing a simple fix and it has been working great since. Our office is now talking about installing more cameras for increased security. He was very patient with all my questions, gave me a few good options, and was very understanding about our requests for estimates. We will definitely be keeping his info on hand for when we install the cameras, or if we ever need IT work. Thank you again Richard!

Please do not use this company. They refused to inspect the foundation and crawl space because…read morethere was 2 inches of water in some spots and they were afraid to be "electrocuted". Their inspection report was very anemic consisting of only about 20 to 25 pages. They spent 80% of the time just showing me the electrical outlets and that was the least of my concern. Most everything they found was visible to the naked eye. I had to pay for an additional inspection for the foundation and crawlspace. And they refused to credit me or refund me a portion of the $600 fee. If you want a thorough inspection, please avoid this company. They missed several key problems.

I believe this may be the first online review I've written in my life, but my experience with…read moreLegacy Inspection was so profoundly negative and costly (in my opinion), that I feel an obligation to others who might be in my former position to detail my experience. It is with the strongest possible conviction that I would urge you to consider any of the other (presumably great) inspectors available in the greater Chicagoland area. In fact, I recently turned down a significant cash offer from Legacy because they insisted that I sign a release that would require that I "specifically agree that [I] will not post any information pertaining to the Released Parties on any print or electronic media, including, but not limited to, social media, consumer review sites, blogs, or customer review spaces...[and] agree to immediately remove any such posts prior to executing this Agreement." I feel a personal duty to save others from having to go through the same experience (and wonder if there are other similar experiences that have been silenced by such a confidentiality agreement). You can decide whether you think this is a firm worth entrusting. Full experience details below (details presented below should be considered approximate and everything below is my opinion): ---- We went under contract on a home in Old Town in late August 2023, scheduling Legacy Inspection to come inspect the house. Legacy was referred to us by our real estate agent (who, FWIW, ultimately upon seeing this situation play out, agreed to give us $5k back to us as an apology for recommending Legacy, which I would observe seems like a pretty damning indictment of Legacy). Legacy sent three inspectors on August 30, 2023 for a total cost of $1,520. Together, the team spent approximately 3-4 hours at the house. My impression in the moment was that they seemed to be doing a satisfactory job (OK, but nothing outstanding). As an aside, I found their report to be considerably shorter and less detailed than a report on the same property from a year earlier (given to us by the prior homeowner by an inspector called Home Advantage Inspections; not an endorsement, just a comparison). The inspection report outlined only a small list of issues, which was not surprising given that there has been a lot of work and money invested into the home during the prior year. Approximately 40 days later, after closing, we had our GC go to the roof to examine the gutters. Upon returning, he exclaimed "why didn't you have a home inspection?" -- noting that there was significant water damage on the roof, with gallons of water clearly sitting under the roof membrane. We stated that we clearly had an inspection and that Legacy's determination was that (per their report) it was in "Satisfactory" condition, noting that the only issue they found was a "loose cap" on one of the chimneys. Our GC replied that it was unequivocally not even close to "satisfactory" condition -- bringing me up to the roof to show the obvious condition that the roof was in. As a novice, I would describe the roof as a bit like walking on a water bed; with water spewing out of corners when stepped on. Such a level of damage, especially evident even to an untrained eye, suggested to me a major oversight in the earlier inspection, considering the minimal precipitation in the intervening period (specifically, only three instances of precipitation measuring over 0.1 inches during this 40-day period, per the National Weather Service). Upon discovery, I immediately emailed Legacy about the issue. Dave Catanese called me back within the hour and asked if they could send their lead inspector (Bob) the next day. Four of us went to the roof together and inspected the issue. There did not seem to be much debate that there was an issue. Legacy's mood was somber and earnest. After review, Bob noted that he needed to bring his findings back to the owners of Legacy. To be honest, I was hopeful that this small business would do the right thing and honor the implicit promise made to their customers. Dave followed up two days later to say "there now does appear to be an issue with the roofing. I would like to err in your favor and return your home inspection fee." Suffice to say, an $850 refund in the face of $35,000+ worth of damages was not acceptable in my opinion. After stating that to Dave, he noted that they would be filing an insurance claim with their insurer. Without boring anyone still reading this, I will summarize the last 4.5 months of dialogue between myself, Dave, and ICM (insurer) as follows: Despite every opportunity given to Legacy to be fair and pragmatic, they have chosen to hide behind their waiver. Ultimately, in March 2024, Legacy did present an offer above the Inspection Fee, but insisted that I sign a release form that would have bound my confidentiality. Some things in life aren't for sale.
