Taqueria cinco hermanos
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 It has been a long time since I've gotten food from a restaurant that I felt is worth 5 stars. Usually the food will be good once and every other time it sucks, leaving me to update my review. I've now started to eat at places a few times before writing reviews to make sure I'm leaving accurate revi...

Grayslake Area Public Library
Public library
🫤 This library has changed drastically over the years. It was a place to go to feel nice and comfortable being assisted by friendly staff who worked there. At that time I always felt welcomed. New staff now there is not like it used to be. I can't say all staff now are bad but the make up of many are...

Beer Bazaar

👍👍 This place is incredible!!
Tap room with super knowledgeable staff, very friendly and helpful!
And the beer selection?! Wow!! I love that almost everything is sold his individual cans or bottles… I was like a kid in a candy store! I can’t wait to return and try more of their incredible selection.

Roost 83 Chicago Style Grill
American restaurant
👍👍 The place was clean as well as the bathrooms. The guy who took our order was nice. My favorite was the chopped chicken salad. My kids liked the tacos and grilled cheese. My only complaint would be the small and thin napkins. I had to use a million napkins.

Sammies Grayslake
Hot dog restaurant
🫤 So today I ordered a Italian beef with sweet peppers on the side. Just a plain beef and I even repeated sweet peppers on the side . Why did I get over 20 hot peppers on the beef. It wasn't even on the side. Ruined the entire beef because it was too spicy to eat. There went $10 down the drain.
Funny...

Grayslake Dog n Suds Drive-In
Hot dog stand
😠 I have no clue how this place has so many 5-star reviews. There is no reason for this chain to still be operating, other than to fulfill peoples' nostalgia for 50's style drive ups.
The prices are not cheap, and the food is horrendously bad. The burgers are downright terrible, even a few notches do...

Taqueria Campeña
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 What is there not to love about this place. The owners are so extremely nice, the food is priced great for the portions you get. And the flavor is spot on! And the chips, holy cow you get so many. And they don't charge for sour cream like other places around!

Noodles and Company
Restaurant
😠 Bit of a deceiving menu. Unlike other places, Noodles puts the regular price first and then the small. I know it's personal error if you don't catch it but it just comes off as deceiving because any other place does it the usual way (low to high).
I ordered the regular size which is the larger opti...
