This rating is for the Pet Photos with Santa. We made a reservation this evening and basically…read morewalked right in because there was no one in line. Santa was amiable and friendly and was able to corral these two little squirmers while the elf helper took the photos. The pictures were fine; some had digital backgrounds added. The setting still looks good; nothing looked worn or faded. The pictures are a little pricey considering I was also taking pics on my phone. The whole experience makes me a little sad because one family came as we were finishing up but basically the mall was empty. Good on Santa and his helper for being enthusiastic and lively for our pictures. We walked around a little but I didn't see any other families (or dogs) lined up for photos. Shortly after I arrived home I also received a digital link for the photos -- the helper said it might take up to 24 hours for the pics but here they are. 4.5 stars

Everything worth anything in here is gone…read more The interior is still as classy as ever, with some really fun common spaces for the kids, like the treehouse. But there's no Apple Store. No burger joint. And every escalator was not operational when I visited. The only reason I was there, was to donate blood. The AMC is still around, but the whole place looks like a zombie apocalypse. I don't know why you'd come here.

I guess I've never reviewed this shopping complex, but we've been here a million times over the 13…read moreyears we've lived in the vicinity. The massive area was previously the site of the Glenview Naval Air Station and this shopping center is the heart of the huge Glen residential community as well. There are numerous shops and restaurants here and it's always a pleasant experience to visit. Like Fashion Outlets in Rosemont, every time we visit there is something new here. One business or another has left and another has stepped in. The rent must be high here, and if you don't continually draw the requisite traffic, you won't survive. We've seen a lot of businesses come and go. Remember Ted's Montana Grill? - it was a favorite of ours and also one of the first to disappointingly close in our earlier years, and that's now The Oak at the Glen, and in a prime location. Some of our favorite and long standing and still standing businesses here are Von Maur, Dick's Sporting Goods, and the Yard House. I could probably name another 20 shops or restaurants we liked or tried here, but that have all since closed. Jibek Jolu is a relatively recent addition that we like for what that's worth. We were going to try Dee's Place (soul food) one day, but dang, they closed before we even got to it, and that was a big investment in a large space for that restauranteur, and too bad. It can get busy and crowded, but nicely there is alway parking to be found in one of their parking lots. Oh well, business is tough here for the tenants, but for us consumers, this is a great upscale town center.

What an interesting collection of restaurants and shops! Over the years, the tenants here have…read morechanged but the collection is always a bit more unique than what you'll find in other shopping centers in the area. One of the best features of this spot is the setup which resembles a separate downtown shopping space, similar to what you'd find in downtown Arlington Heights with parking nearby. The walkways are clean and well maintained and it's a great space to take a stroll and enjoy lots of different options in a casual evening with warm weather. One of the standout features of this shopping center has always been their great mix of restaurants which cover a wide variety of different cuisines. Currently 1800 Cut Restaurant, Yard House, El Tradicional, Dawg Park Grill, and Eggpresso are some of the many fine options here. There's also plenty of spots to puchase clothing, jewelry, sports good, and more -- in addition to a selection of spas and salons. Overall, not a huge but a fun shopping center that provides a nice alternative to visiting the mall but a unique set of restaurants and shops.

Parking at Fashion Outlets of Chicago is something to be aware of before you go. The first hour is…read morefree, but after that it costs about $13 per hour. However, if you shop in the stores, make sure to ask for parking validation--you can get up to 3 hours free, which is very helpful. Overall, it's a really nice place for shopping. You can find a wide variety of stores, including many great and even luxury brands, so there's something for everyone. The mall itself is very clean, modern, and comfortable, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Definitely a good spot if you're planning a shopping day.

It is a rare fully indoor, two-level outlet mall, making it the best option during Chicago's winter or rainy days. * Top Brands: Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Versace, Saint Laurent, and Bloomingdale's The Outlet Store. Also don't forget the amazing Lindt store. We also love the kids stores like Janie and Jack.

This is my rating based on the potential that I'm seeing with the redevelopment of this mall. Over…read moretime, this mall has generally been a good spot to gather with a quality set of stores, though there's definitely a lot more competition nearby with good options in all of the surrounding shopping centers that cover all the different varieties of shops and restaurants. With lots of indoor malls closing nearby, this setup has become a bit more of a rarity, and personally I still like having a large spot with furniture to sit down at when I need to rest, a climate controlled area for when it's too hot or cold outside, and lots of fun spots to do seasonal pictures. With Hawthorn 2.0, I'm quite excited for what is to come. It looks like there will be a fresh set of solid anchors like Perry's Steakhouse, AMC, Dave & Busters, Macy's, etc. If this develops similarly to Randhurst, this would be a great spot to gather in Vernon Hills. Even before this is complete however, Hawthorn Mall has retained more quality tenants and has an overall cleaner and more modern look than some of the other indoor malls nearby. With the next closest similar offering being Woodfield Mall, this is still a fairly unique offering.

I have noticed that even though this square has been reconstructed since 2000 from "Deerfield Commons", it appears to be pretty new and modern, with many upscale shops and boutiques, and a bunch of nice restaurants. In a hot summer day, the beautiful outdoor area of the square looks very attractive. I am only familiar with Walgreens, Sephora, and Fresh Foods in the mall, but the restaurants here seem to be pretty appealing too. From their directory online, there are Café Zupas, Egg Harbor Cafe, Il-Forno Pizza & Pasta, Potbelly Sandwich Shop, Rosebud, Scoops & Cookies, Tlacoyo Mexican Grill, and Whole Foods Market. The various restaurants and eateries would definitely fit different budgets and appetites. I will return with my family to explore this beautiful shopping mall further.
