Kosta's is a really nice casual restaurant with some excellent Gyro's…read more I ordered the Gyro Platter with Greek potatoes as my side - and the whole meal was excellent. The potatoes had a lot of flavor and the gyro plate portion is massive - you can easily make 2 meals out of one gyro platter - generous portion sizes. I would recommend a visit and recommend the gyro platter if you're in the area.

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.

Update to my earlier review - not much to add. In my opinion, Culvers still has one of the best…read morefast food burgers in the area. Service at this location is good. You order at the counter and very quickly they deliver the food to your table. This time, I had a double butter burger basket. The double burger is a substantial amount of meat - you'd better be hungry. Their fries are very good - they were delivered hot and crisp. And I like their root beer. The only negative is their gluten free bun. They do take it seriously and the bun is delivered in sealed plastic for those with Celiac Disease. But the bun does not hold up - it starts to fall apart as the meat juices run into the burger. Fortunately for most diners, you'll get their regular bun which doesn't have this problem. I'd suggest to Culvers to test other Gluten Free bun options. Besides that, Culvers is consistent across their locations - good food and good service.

The line was blessedly short at 12:15 PM and we were able to quickly place and then pick up our order all within 10 minutes. We got exactly what we came for - Chicago style deliciousness.

Despite the large order, the workers still acknowledged me, were super friendly, and I felt very positively after just having a to-go order. I ordered their Chicago gyro sandwich.

Then I find out it's BOGO free on the regular chicken pitas when we have been buying the mini-regular pits for the entire year. Ugh. The free ice cream is a nice touch. This is a great place for groups. They have a ton of deals each week, but overall just really expensive. If you get a match on a deal, great.

This is one of those places you might constantly pass while you're driving in Palatine, especially…read morewhen you're going to Walmart across the street. I've literally passed this place for 6+ years and it wasn't until recently that my husband wanted to try it so in we went! The restaurant is very old school taqueria vibes. The staff is quick to take your order and there's always patrons coming in and out to either dine in or pick up their orders (there's also a drive thru). We got our food fairly fast abd it's nice that they give you a selection of salsas on your tray. I tried the steak quesadilla with pick de gallo and it was good! I also really enjoyed the rice and the beans are frijoles charros and not refried which is different than a lot of other local spots. My husband got the carne asada but his favorite thing has truly been the rice, beans, and cebollitas (bulb onions). He's gone back 5x just for that! Overall, this seems to be a place that will be on rotation now. Don't judge a book by its cover!

First time trying this local Mexican restaurant. We ordered 2 steak burritos and steak quesadillas…read more The online menu is not very clear on what's on the burritos aside from your choice of meats. The orders came with beans & rice but because we didn't see that on the website we ordered extra which was too much beans & rice. Beans are pretty soupy but very flavorful. My burrito while a good size the steak is a lower grade of meat, a lot of gristle in the steak. The salsas were very good. I'd order again maybe just not the steak.

We went to Johnnie's Beef for a $7 Italian beef sandwich…read more The gentleman at the register took my money, but failed to give me a receipt with an order number. I thought nothing of it... Until 5 minutes later. "Beeg mija!" a middle-aged lady yelled from behind the counter. Her eyes darted angrily around the diner, looking for a landing strip for her palpable annoyance, "Beeg! Mija!" The gentleman behind the counter glanced nonchalantly in my direction. "BEEG MIJA!!!!" she screamed. I stared at her from across the restaurant, confused. Our eyes locked like a heat-seeking missile from a 1980s action flick, finding its target. She thrust a stubby index finger in my direction, "Ju! Beeg mija!" I walked to the counter, "Italian beef?" "Jes, da-meet! BEEG MIJA!" she hollered, incensed, and threw the bag in my direction. I intuited she must have been attempting to say, "Big meat. Hot." Mind you, that STILL made no sense. "How the &$@ would I have gotten that from that?!" I hollered. "EETS'A BEEEEEG MI-JA!" "Ok, lady."
