The Eggscelent Burger is, well, EGGSCELENT. I have never had a burger this good EVER from a restaurant. Perfect flavor, tenderness of the beef, and so juicy. Their sesame bun is the best. I definitely recommend and would actively go there again.

To put it simply, the best Mahi Mahi dish I’ve had! The Mahi was cooked to perfection with a nice delicate coating of macadamia nuts with a little mango salsa on top… oh boy!!! My taste buds were having a tantalizing party! The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned with some fresh crumbled feta on top. The peppers and green beans were a nice balance. My suggestion: take one big bite of a little of everything… a very happy tummy will result, fair warning!

Bought 5 different lunch items for our crew today … all of it looked & smelled amazing. And everyone said it was delicious. Will definitely be a new spot to eat when I’m in Des Plaines from now on!

Alyssa and Jessica were awesome. Friendly, on point with drink orders. Nikki was great too. But, by far. Larry, aka Norm, was the most awesome guy we met tonight. We will surely be back soon!!!!!!!

Great food (hence the 3 stars). HORRIBLE service, the couple times I’ve gone. The lady behind the bar is very unwelcoming. Sadly, for this reason, we will not be going back.
