Brooke H.'s Profile

At the urging of fellow yelper Pete B. a couple of months ago I tried Totopos. I can honestly say, that was one of the best decisions I ever made. EVER
I am a connoisseur of chicken burritos. i have eaten at over 100 Mexican places in my life (probably over 200) and 90% of the time on my first visit - I order a chicken burrito as my "measuring stick" for how the fare will be. Totopos chicken burrito LITERALLY had me singing and nearly brought me to tears,.
HOLY $%#@&!!!! it's so good. I eat there approximately once a week now (sometimes more) and frankly - if i ate nothing but Totopos chicken burrito for the rest of my life I'd be happy.
I havent much worked through the menu becasue the burritos are so damn good. But my homies are always trying new things and loving it. i have had the flan and it is outstanding.
the woman who owns the place is a sweet pea! they use really fresh ingredients and go organic where they can. Everything is made to order and worth the wait. There are a couple of tables to eat at there (we call ahead when we eat there so they dont feel rushed). the place is clean and conveniently located/easy to find.
The only thing is that they are closed on Sundays which is a bummer for me because I tend to eat Mexican a lot on Sundays as it is good hangover food. All is forgiven though, because this place is perfect otherwise. YUM!

this place is awesome. my late bff was born and raised in Australia and he mocked outback all the time. I guess that's why I never tried it until recently. And now... I've been there 3 times in the past month. Why? because it's soooooo awesome. The food here is some of the best chain food I've ever had (I'm grouping this together with places like Friday's, Bennegans, Olive Garden, Applebees, etc)
Put the menu aside and lets talk about Juan. Juan is THE MAN! He is one of the best servers I've ever had and that's saying a lot. He's prompt and attentive and FUNNY, his dry humor had me CRACKING up several times throughout the evening. Juan was such a  good server, in fact, that i asked to be seated in his section again the next time I went back. ...I NEVER do that - I also sought out the manager to pay him a compliment. He really is a star employee at Outback.
In my opinion Outback is the best bang for your steak buck.
Things I've had there:
The margarita trio - totally awesome little set of 3 margaritas in different flavors - i personally favored the Mango but it was nice to try all 3
The creamy onion soup is drool-worthy.
The steak - at the suggestion of my Dr. I am eating 9 oz of red meat/week - I hate it but it's what I need - and their steak was actually quite good. and juan didnt snarl at me for asking for my steak to be burnt and served with a bottle of A1 sauce (i get shit for this at other steak places)
Lobster - hit or miss, but cheap.
Crab crusted Talapia OMFG awesome - but very greasy
Garlic mashed potatoes - creamy and deeeelish
I havent had a bad thing yet and i'm l;ooking forward to working my way through the Menu - sitting in Juan's section, of course!

Really? I havent Reviewed this place yet? weird.
Amy = sweet pea! LOVE her. she is ON TOP of service here. I knew I liked her after having not been there in a long time and she remembered my name and my drink. Good Girl! She's always smiling too! Love that!
Theres not much else to be said that hasnt been said by other yelpers.
Oh Tuesdays, Bob from Roxxoff Entertainment hosts live trivia at Squirrel Cage, that stuff rules.

Is it inappropriate to say "this place smells amazing" hehe. I could live in a flower shop. Anyway I went here looking very specifically for green flowers & a blank card. i was helped immediately and treated as though i was spending $60 as opposed to my $6 purchase.
I perused a bit and I'm excited to go back after I move (tomorrow) for some indoor and outdoor plants/things. i might actually go back today since they are having a sale on silk flowers.
Good prices, good service, good place. Me likey.

This review is brought to you based on the photos I have from my night at Walsh's, as I don't remember a darn thang. Just kidding, kinda.
I do remember a life-saving-alcohol-absorbing pizza that happened some time after 1am. I wholeheartedly believe that w/o said bar pizza I would be dead right now.
the staff was really nice and from what I recall, the patrons were too.
I am pretty stoked to find this late night bar-spot that isn't A) a dance club or 2) filled with d-bag employees or clicky patrons. Super welcoming vibe. And on a personal note - iirc - it's right down the road from one of my best friend's house (who let me sleepover - thank heavens)
I'm going back, for sure.

Smells like burning. Shottiest massage chairs ever. An outright painfull pedi. Why did it feel like she was just stabbing my toes over and over the whole time :(
I SPECIFICALLY asked before they started of they had/would use razors, they said yes. they lied to get me in the chair. BOGUS. now, I need another f'n pedicure to take care of the callouses (which were the whole reason i went there in the first place).
Wah Wah wont be going back.

Pokey pokey. It only takes 30 seconds to pee in a cup. And I realllly had to pee. And I had to wait 35 min :( boo. by the time i got called - the urge to wizz had passed and it took FOREVER for it to come back :(
The front desk clerk/lady who supervised my peeing - was nice. she made a screaming child shut it's huge mouth and THAT gets her/Labcorp 4 stars on this otherwise 3 star review.

Damn right I'm the duchess here. In fact I am here now, writing this. Why? because it's the best, it has wi-fi, i needed to get the funk out of my house and i was hungry, and i had a lot of ish to do on the computer.
I come here every weekend with my boyfriend. We LOVE this place. The service, management, menu, venue, it all ROCKS.
I've never had a meal I didnt like here, and i've worked my way through a big chunk of their menu.
It cant go w/o mentioning that they have a dedicated Orange Juice employee. Juicing cases and cases of fresh oranges all day every day. BEST OJ ON THE PLANET. Fact.

Favorite meal: Egg white omlett with Broccoli and Sausage, well done and a healthy dose of cholula hot sauce. Mmmmmm -- i live that they stock each table with 3 different kinds of hot sauce (and ketchup for the weenies)

Best breakfast joint in the west suburbs. IMHO ;)

BEST PIZZA IN THE WHOLE WORLD EVER. I fairly frequently drive 40 min from Naperville to Westchester for this pizza.
Their sausage is (omfg I'm drooling) nothing short of amazing. All of the ingredients are top-notch and the sauce is unlike any other, ever.
The staff has all worked there forever too - LOVE THAT - low turn-over is a sure sign of a solid business.
My BF and I both grew up in Westchester - thank jeebus he's as addicted (if not more so) to Rocky's. As he's always up to make the 1.5hr+ round trip for take out pizza.
MMMmmmmmmmmmm Rocky's Pizza.

What to order: Rocky's Supreme Pizza, no mushrooms, well done. and if you're traveling from far away to pick it up - ask for it in a box, becasue they put their pizza in bags that dont travel well.

There IS a small resturant front to sit and eat there, but the way i pigishly devour this shit, i need privacy with my rocky's pizza

***THEY ONLY TAKE CHECK OR CASH

One more thing: order a LOT of extra because Rockys COLD Pizza for breakfast is a pretty heavenly experience. it freezes well too!

Standard Caribou. I'm scared of what i've heard about the drive-through though, so i always go inside.
the staff is fast and friendly (but I've only ever been to this location on "off hours")
I dont have anything stamd-out to day about this place good or bad. I guess that's the good thing about chains - consistency.
