So this is definitely the most unique store ever! They have a theater!!! It looks so fashionable from the moment you step inside! I went with my sister, and there were so many beautiful dresses to choose from! They had tons! The bridesmaids were great too! We worked with BreAnn, and she was a doll. Really sweet and made my sister really comfortable. Knew what to show her too! The dresses were beyond fantastic. Very fashionable! She found some really great favorites that we have to go back for! I'm so excited!!!!!

Crystal Bride

Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic. I went there with my sister, who is the bride, and I couldn't have been more thrilled. The shop front is so cute! The main floor was a little bit...meh...but the front desk people were really nice. Then...Heather (our consultant) came down. She was amazing! So sweet, knew what my sister wanted, pinned her into the dresses because my sister is itty-bitty. Pinned the bustles super well and quickly, found a ribbon and brooch combo to put around my sister's waist that really made the dresses PERFECT! Oh, and the dresses were great. Great price, gorgeous materials, great style. The whole bridal set up was amazing. Uncluttered, room, great displays. It was just so open and light! Ugh, I'm rambling. But it was just fantastic. My sister has 3 favorites we can't wait to go back and see!!! Heather, I hope you read this because you were phenomenal! You made my sister really comfortable and had her laughing and excited the whole time!

Portillos's Hotdogs  

Category: Restaurants

4 star rating
 12/16/2009  
I'm choosing this one to review since I've gotten it most often, but the one in Dekalb and the one in St. Charles are just as good. I adore their Italian beef. Whoever made it standard to have dry, regular, and dipped should be given an award. I LOVE extra juicy beefs. The staff there is kinda hysterical. The things they say into their microphones! Once or twice I've had them mess up an order, but really, everyone has an off day. And...Chocolate Cake Shake? REALLY? Talk about fan-f*ing-tastic! The fries are good, the cake is good, the chopped salad is good, the beefs are good. Just don't ask for custom stuff on your hotdog...that's when you can run into problems lol.

Aldo's Pizzeria

I've been going to Aldo's at least once every month for the past year and a half. My boyfriend lives out that way and introduced me to the place. OMG is it fantastic. Definitely a bit small, but the staff is great, and Tammy, the owners wife, is sweet as can be! I love their Calzones! They make me one that's just cheese and pineapple, and it's amazing. None of that cake dough that chain's use. It's soft, flaky crust, not too soggy filling, and the tang of really spices inside. Their regular pizza is good too...but I'm sold on Calzone's alone! Wish it wasn't an hour away from where I live...but honestly, I've driven out once or twice just for Pizza Night. Shh...

This is actually a really great cantonese place! The food is good, delivery is quick, and the people are really nice! It's all the basic stuff, and a notch above average! My only complaint was the egg rolls. They were okay, but the meat inside was a little over cooked, and the flavors were a bit blah. Other than that it's a really great place!

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant  

Category: Restaurants

2 star rating
 11/6/2009  
I have loved Olive Garden since I was like 5 years old. The salad and bread sticks are to die for, and the food is pretty good. I've never liked that they give you a boat load of food that makes you fat and gives you a stomach ache, but it's still tasty. However, at the 2 I frequent most often, I've had good service no more than 40% of the time. And I said good, not great. Just adequate. To top it off, today when I ordered for a lunch-to-go, my Chicken in my gnocchi soup was a really awful shade of pink! It was like rubber! I couldn't eat it I was so nervous. It looked raw, but it couldn't have been totally raw. Right? Don't they get frozen stuff or at least precook it? My boss got the same and she stopped eating it she said it was awful and her stomach hurt too. This just seems like another time they have let their quality slide. I've had some really undercooked pasta on occasion, and sometimes had to wait a full hour for my food. Maybe Olive Garden and I just have a curse when we're together. But I have to say, I'm so disappointed.

Just Kabobs

3 star rating

I've only been once so far, but I'm actually about to do a work lunch run to there! The first time I've been there, right after they opened, it was crazy busy, but they were super nice. I took forever to order for 4 people, and they had to make four different orders. They actually got the orders right! I was shocked since they are new and kinda a fast food place. It's like Panda Express for Gyro's and Kabobs. The menu is a little bit simple, but they give you a ton of extras. They have fries though, pretty okay The quality was pretty good! It was a little bland, and their salad had so much onion I had a stomach ache. Otherwise though,they're really good. Maybe I'll update in an hour after getting it again!

This place was awesome to hang out at. The atmosphere was good, the food was cheap and greasy. But...the service was never good. It worked. But was never good. The skillet plate I got was delicious. But it took literally 40 minutes to get. We were on a deadline and had 10 minutes to eat the breakfast! The fries were only okay. But honestly the place is a blast for being a dive.

Best brownies of my life. It's a little pricey, but it's in Chicago and a college stop, so what do you expect? I loved their California concoction. Their are fast, tasty, and better than some of the STU stuff. I miss it the most out of all my Chicago places. Except Clark's to review Cl arks.

Fatty's Pub and Grill

4 star rating
 10/28/2009  
This was my first dinner with my roommates and I have to say it was pretty nice. Not the greatest, but still really good. We sat out back because walking inside was impossible! I got a BBQ chicken wrap that I loved...but my stomach hurt a little bit afterward. Playing BAGS was awesome! I love that they have that as after eating entertainment. The sides are really good, and the drinks are pretty well made. I have to say that the wait-staff is phenomenal!!! Shout out to Anna! We were in like...1st grade together! But the rest of Fatty's rocks too! YAY!
