Battle Company

Laser tag center

👍👍 Great experience. Highly recommend! We booked for a party. The place was very clean and the set up of arcade games was nice. Our party attendant was very friendly and explained the laser tag rules and game set up in a way that the kids could understand. The kids had a blast. The Flash Pads were al...

StretchLab

Fitness center

👍👍 Being an athletic guy, I joined StretchLab because I needed help with muscle recovery and increasing flexibility. Some stretches you cannot do on your own, and that’s where places like StretchLab come in to help. I was assigned to Alex, and he’s the best! Knowing that I come from an athletic backgro...

Wanderley Jiu Jitsu

Martial arts school

👍👍 Wanderley Jiu Jitsu & MMA Academy has to be by far one of the most humbling and cleanest professional gyms we’ve been too. Coach Joe Nicols does a phenomenal job of teaching kickboxing the right way. Professor Daniel does an outstanding job of teaching the arts of jiujitsu along with Gabe. If you’ve...

Island Express Restaurant

Restaurant

👍👍 This has to be some of the best Jamaican food in the entire Chicago area. What a hidden gem! Mainly a take-out operation with a few chairs, the food traveled home really well because it was carefully packaged. The flavors are incredible and the portions are SO generous. Very kind service too! We had...

Hot Lunch

Restaurant

👍👍 Welp. Found a new place to spend my entire paycheck. Walked into serious nostalgia with cozy vibes. Sat right at the bar and I’m glad we did because we got to hang with the owner of the place and share a bunch of laughs. Very cool dude. But the food, omg. I got the classic and it was seriously bomb....

Orangetheory Fitness

Gym

👍👍 It is very difficult to push yourself this hard alone. The simple group and coach structure, along with the heart rate monitor, adds 25% to your workout effort. The treadmills are excellent! I could run harder without feeling like I was getting banged up. The team working at St Charles are very...

Gracie Barra East Naperville

Jujitsu school

👍👍 GB East Naperville is an excellent school to train at. Since I started jiu jitsu last year I’ve split time between Downers Grove and East Naperville and the quality of training has always been very high. All the coaches and instructors are highly knowledgeable on the self-defense and sport aspects o...

Physical fitness program

👍👍 As a busy working mom, E-Town has classes throughout all hours of the day and you can't beat walking to the gym!

Scone House Cafe

Bakery

👍👍 A must stop at either the Winfield cafe location or the Wheaton farmers market! I haven’t had a scone from here I haven’t loved yet. The lemon is by far the best, but I am still working through all the flavors! The new cafe location is adorable with either indoor or outdoor seating. Perfect addition...

St. John Chrysostomos Greek Orthodox Monastery

Monastery

👍👍 This convent is remarkable. It is the first monastery in the west under the patronage of Saint John Chrysostomos. Founded by the late Elder Ephraim of Arizona & Philotheou. It is a spiritual refuge from the world. I am reenergized after every visit because of the overflowing love that fills this hol...

Windy City Strength & Conditioning

Fitness center

👍👍 I can’t say enough about Windy City! I’ve never done CrossFit before and it seemed intimidating at first. Once you sign up, they require two private lessons to ease you in and teach you proper techniques before your first class. The coaches are very aware of each persons abilities and will always ha...

First Gear Skateshop

Skateboard shop

👍👍 This shop showed me some love. I bought a brand new long board that was beautiful. The day I rode it, it was beginning to crack. I brought it in again just to get a new board and salvage the trunks. But they stepped it up, they gave me a whole exchange and i got a new board fully equipped. That is...
