This is a great place for breakfast and lunch. I recommend the chicken salad sandwich with the chips - I have it at least once a week!
Just got my wedding dress here! They were patient while we selected a bunch of dresses to try on. My future sister in law found my dress! It helped save my budget AND I just loved it.

Love Street Eats for both breakfast AND lunch! I probably go here at least once a week. Huge menu with lots of choices - anything from sandwiches to soups to salads and daily specials. I recommend their homemade chips! Very healthy, tasty, and extremely friendly staff.

I went to Pappadeaux's on Sunday to celebrate family birthdays. Everything was awesome! We all had drinks, including Bloody Mary's and a creation called "swamp thing'. Yum.
Appetizers - Calamari (which also had fried Artichokes which was interesting and good) and Alligator, with some really great sauces to dip in. For our meals, I had Jazz Scallops which was a little salty, but very tasty. Everyone loved their meals. I would definitely return. They also have a Sunday brunch that was very reasonably priced that I plan to try out soon!

I work very close to this restaurant, so I have gone here for lunch, dinner, and happy hour. It's actually a very upscale place with reasonable prices and a pretty big menu. All of the food I have had has been good, and they have a $5 martini drink special on Wednesdays - you can't beat it! My favorite martini is the Margatini.
I usually get the Chop Salad for lunch which is awesome. I also like most of the appetizers, and I've had a steak dinner (Filet) there which was great. You have to try the sweet potato fries - Yummo!
They put in an outdoor patio last summer, which is a really nice way to partake in $5 martinis... see you there!

After the Fox Ltd

After the Fox is a GREAT dive bar. I can especially see how it is a great place to go while boating on the Fox River.
I was taken to After the Fox one night after work with one of the 'Regulars'. I have to say when I walked in I was a little nervous not being a regular, but everyone was very friendly and quick to spark up conversation.
The price was right for the drinks I had, and the menu looks like it has a very homestyle quality to it. There was also a deck out back that I can't WAIT for it to warm up so I can sit out there.
If you are looking for a classy time, don't go to After the Fox. But if you're looking for a few drinks in a laid back atmosphere with lots of laughs, this place is for you!

I love Green Peapod!
I go here often for lunch with coworkers; they have a great lunch special! The special starts with soup or salad, and I typically get the cucumber salad (the dressing is amazing). If I go with my Thai coworker, we typically get an appetizer or two (calamari and fish cakes). My meal of choice is the Pad Thai, although I've tried a few other dishes and they have all been wonderful.
The food is fabbo and I recommend this place to everyone. The service is typical of thai restaurants (they do not hurry you!). I think I would go here every day for lunch if I could... Can I?

Went to Bob Chinn's last night for dinner and had Mai Tais, a spicy shrimp appetizer, and crab legs. My friends all got the grouper, as that's their favorite dish. Of course, you have to have a garlic roll or two, and it's such a large menu it's hard to make a decision!
Being a saturday night, there was about a 45 minute wait for a table for four. Hence the mai tai before dinner :)
Aside from being uncomfortably full when it was all over, everything was absolutely wonderful, and I can't WAIT for leftovers today!
Warning: Those mai tais pack a punch!

I loved The Vine! It was great - we randomly googled a place for wine/martinis, and came across this restaurant. From martinis, to wine, to food, everything was great. I was pleasantly surprised!
This is definitely a place with the atmosphere where you could go just to have a few drinks with friends. I would recommend this to anyone, and I will definitely return!

Wow. First of all, what a blast from the past! The first thing that hit me was, 'Wow this place smells like my grandparents' house'. From there, it went downhill. First we were seated next to an obnoxiously intoxicated couple, our waitress was a total twit, and there was a hair in one of our dishes. For the price of our final bill, our experience was subpar. When we attempted to complain (nicely) to the waitress, she just shrugged us off like it wasn't a big deal. We will not return.
