I just spoke with the very nice Owner of Wholey Granoly, Chris His wife, Natalie and the "sometimes Manager sometimes server" both know my husband and I

Pistachio latte
Irene Kitty L.

My first time visiting Wholey Granoly with my bestie and it was extremely satisfying and delicious. We each ordered the pistachio latte and that was sooooo good topped with sweet whipped cream and crunchy pistachio. She ordered a mushroom, spinach panini with sweet potato fries and that was soooo good and hearty. I got an vegetarian omelet with pancakes and that was pretty darn good. But I was most impressed with the service. Everyone was just so attentive on every level and it made the experience so much better on top of the good food. They have this super cute IG worthy wall and the place had plenty of seating with spacious booths and fun decor. Definitely a place I would go back for the yummy food and the wonderful service.

Po'Boy. Wasn't the greatest, wasn't the worst.

We went to IKEA and were starving, so we knew we had to eat so we didn't get hangry being lost in there for hours. We got wholey granoly to go and were pleasantly surprised. The highlight for me was the salad with Asian flavors (not finding what the name was on the menu) and the coconut pistachio shake. My partner got the heath shake and shrimp po boy. We weren't too impressed by the flavor of that; shrimp had that not fresh texture and slightly fishy flavor, in my opinion. The restaurant itself didn't have AC that day and it was SO HOT in there. I felt very bad for the wait staff and even more for the kitchen. The shakes we ate while waiting were nice to cool down. Overall pretty tasty!

I was impressed with the halal steak sandwich. Has a tasty chimichurri sauce and steak was cooked perfectly. The Mediterranean bowl with chic peas was light and fresh although I thought the crispy chic peas were a bit overdone. The salmon Benedict was tasty and we got it with poached eggs. The service was ok. The place itself is pretty ugly on the inside. The AC unit was broken. The bathroom is very dirty and it really threw me off. If I was rating it on food alone it would be 4 stars.

The Carnitas.
Megan F.

We were in town for a wedding and looking for something new to try. They have so many coffee and food options. I appreciated that they have some healthy options and can accommodate certain diets. I tried the carnitas skillet and I enjoyed it. The only downside was the salsa made it get soggy pretty fast. I had a side of pancakes, and they were delicious! I also had the coconut pistachio latte which had a unique flavor.

We came at 1pm. There were like 4 other groups that came at that same time too. We didn't have to wait too long and all the groups were seated pretty quickly. Had ordered the fried chicken BLTA. The chicken was fried and crispy. It was cooked a bit too long so it was a bit dry, but the avocado spread helped so it was still delicious. Fries had a bit of seasoning to it and was pretty good.

Skillet

Wholly moley I'm in love with Wholey Granoly! I couldn't be more excited to find a restaurant with gluten/vegan pancakes. Pretty sure this is the first (or second) place I've found that offers it. I also loved how inclusive the menu is to lots of different groups of people. They market their ability to meet many dietary preferences, including Halal, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. $5 smoothies Monday-Thursday which I loved. The peach Melba pancakes were spectacular. I'm excited to come back!

Love this place, my favorite meals that are offered here are the bowls/wraps. Fast service, place is always nice and clean. My ONLY COMPLAINT is why in the world is there a charge for forks and spoons when you order to go???? Like ... am I expected to eat with my bare hands? That should be included.

Mini sampler
Khalid F.

I was excited to hear that Wholey Granoly was now offering halal options! Usually when we go out for breakfast we have to stick with veggie skillets or eggs benedict; not complaining, but grateful to have some meat options. The parking lot is spacious enough and it wasn't too busy when we went on Saturday morning. I like that there are two entrances: one for full service and one for quick service. We wanted to sit there and eat, so we chose the full service door. The interior is spacious and looks good enough for a fast casual place; the green & yellow decor is fine, but nothing to write home about. It was chilly inside, but then again it was 8:30 in the morning. In any case, we ordered a Brazilian steak skillet with a biscuit as the side, which came with two eggs, and a mini sampler for my son, which came with an egg, two small pancakes, and halal bacon. The Brazilian steak skillet was excellent. The steak and the chimichurri sauce were delicious, the potatoes were cooked nicely, and there was adequate cheese for a nice gooiness. My son enjoyed his scrambled egg and pancakes. Service was good and pricing was reasonable. Would definitely visit again.

Vegan Brazilian Steak with Hash Brown
Patricia W.

Service was great, food even greater! It's a breakfast and brunch spot that did not disappoint. They have a more than generous selection for vegan! We will be going back, often!

It was exquisite. Great flavors, fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing. Overall great experience.

I was so very happy to have tried Wholey Granola! I was always cognizant they were in that specific area, but it wasn't until today that I finally tried them. They seated us in a cute two person booth near the front. Unfortunately, the table stunk and wobbled. Oh well. My husband went with their veggie skillet. It had a yummy hollandaise sauce that I was surprisingly a fan of. I would have preferred a bigger portion or avocado on top, but that is not how they do it. Fair enough. I went with their mushroom melt on sourdough. Once again, the portion wasn't very large and I would have preferred a soup or something in addition. Yet, it's just the sandwich and fries. Which they initially gave me hash browns instead of fries. I waited for my fries and my husband waited for his pancakes. Why is it we have to get food piece mail style? The pancakes (when they eventually came) were quite tasty. My husband's skillet was also pretty decent. My sandwich was nothing to write home about, and the fries were even worse. Ore Ida style without flavor. I was a bit bummed that the manager also went to all the tables with the exception of ours. Weird, as I thought he would also stop at our table to inquire about our food/etc. customer service for all? Oh well. The waitresses were super nice, though. Would I go back? Probably. I appreciate the environmental conscious aspect of them which is the only reason I gave 4 stars.

Our server, Umberto, was attentive and pleasant and took good care of us; he was the best part of our evening. However, this is the first and last time I'll ever eat at Entourage. They promise "a dining experience" on their website, but I could get the same experience at your average Chili's or TGIFriday's without the pretense. Why do I say that? It's the noise...oh, the noise. There were a few tables with large parties, so it was pretty loud. Even leaning in closely, it was hard for my friend and me to hear each other talk. And the screaming kids were something else, emitting ear-piercing screams that get your attention, for all the wrong reasons. I didn't see any staff ask the large parties to keep it down or ask the parents to manage their children, which I guess I can understand. Large parties = more revenue than a two-top. But we did not - could not - linger after we ate our meals, or order coffee, dessert, and/or an after-dinner drink, because it was just too loud in there.

The most gracious and humble hosts - paying attention to every detail and stopping at nothing to bring whatever the customer wants to fruition. We don't realize that the place closes at 8:00 pm, and just kept chomping and socializing - they never once pointed it out to us. I begin with them because they were the friendliest folks, and their service was truly remarkable. Then comes the food - my goodness, the food. Let's begin with the Harira. Perfectly seasoned, but for me, it requires a little more salt (which is personal preference) and a pop of acid like lemon to bring out its true flavor. Overall, a really comforting, rich soup without being heavy or cloying. Then came the Moroccan seasoned potatoes - oooooweeee! These were little nuggets of pure deliciousness. Seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside and every bite kept you wanting to go back for more. Then the lamb shank tagine - ummmm, excuse me?!?! What do you mean the meat is like butter? It literally falls off the bone and dissolves in your mouth. Rich, fatty, unctuous and truly a delight. The bed of couscous it came with was also great - made better by the sauce from the lamb shank. The highlight of this plate were the roasted prunes that are part of the sauce. Sweet, jammy prunes cooked into the sauce made them just truly a delightful mouthfeel in comparison to the couscous and the scrumptious meat. To top it all off, the cherry on top, is their comforting Moroccan mint tea. So very fresh and the perfect end to an absolutely DELIGHTFUL meal. Highly recommended!!!

It's tiny inside and feels well worn (in a good way), but there are a few tables outside. We went at an off time (or so we thought), but eventually all four tables and all bar seating were taken up. The gentleman serving us seemed to be the only one there, but he was friendly. We ordered a taktouka sampler, mixed grill platter, and lamb shank tagine. If you go to a Moroccan restaurant, you've got to get tagine. It took a little while for the food to come out, but overall it was excellent. The taktouka sampler was full of veggies. It was tasty, but I wish the carrots were cooked more to soften them. The mixed grill platter had chicken and beef kabobs, as well as something like a kefta (ground meat) kabob. The meats and rice were good, although the beef and chicken could have been more tender and juicy. The white sauce was a nice accompaniment. The lamb shank was excellent; nice tender meat, tasty rice, and delicious supplemental flavors from the figs and apricots. Overall, a very nice lunch.

The Port of Peri Peri has a storefront next to a Dunkin on Weber Rd in Bolingbrook, about half a mile north of I-55.  We tried them once before (in 2020) hoping for a better experience five years later, unfortunately that wasn't the case. My biggest hangup is that everything is just too expensive.  A ¼ chicken is $10 and comes with no sides, which are $4.50 each.  Compare this to Nando's where the same ¼ chicken is $7.75 and sides are just $3. The chicken & rice bowl ($18) was my wife's pick and she enjoyed it, however I don't think it was a good value.  Twenty bucks for what amounts to 4 chicken tenders over rice?  C'mon. I will say that their stuff is legitimately SPICY.  Even the 'mild' has plenty of punch, nevermind the 'hot' which sent me into a coughing fit.  Definitely steer towards the lower end of their heat scale. Their pop machine was out-of-order (and it appeared to have been for some time).  Dining room chairs weren't the comfiest, and the random chandelier - although elegant - doesn't in with fit the ambiance. Employees were nice. I used a coupon mailer for $5 off, which made the eyebrow-raising cost a bit more tolerable.  Without one, I probably wouldn't return. * TL;DR * I'm not a fan of overpaying, be it clothes, cars, or chicken(s). An a la carte sandwich here is a whopping $14!  (only $9 at Nando's) Also of note, these Peri fries don't come with a special mayo or anything for dipping.  Perhaps corn is a better choice? The best thing I can say about Port of Peri Peri is that they don't play around with spices.  When they say something is hot, they mean it.  Other than that, not too many redeeming qualities here.
