Time and again, I have found Cab's to be a wonderfully delightful experience. Upon entering, one is struck at once with both the genuine friendliness of the staff and the chic, modern decor. One is quickly enveloped in the festive mood, where laughter and cheery conversation flow freely over tasty appetizers, main courses and wines. The ecclectic menu is a delight to ones tastebuds, often surprising with an astute justapositioning of flavors to great effect. Clearly, Chef Luis Ayllon is one of Chicagoland's best kept secrets!
Pros: Great food, Excellent Winelist, Friendly atmosphere

The food here is great, but I go back for the excellent service. Not only is the waitstaff always good, but the owners go above & beyond to ensure happy patrons. Recently I used a B1G1 Entertainment book coupon here, and they allowed me to use a second coupon since there were 4 people in my party. Definitely worth a visit!

Santa Fe is a fixture of GE. It started out in a very small rental but moved to a nice big place a few years ago. In fact, they even have a party room in the basement.
Best Margaritas and best Mexican food around (though I do not recommend their burritos. Steak Tacos with fresh cilantro and onion. It's not on the menu, but the only way to go! Their tostadas are the best as well!)
The owners are a bunch of sisters who do everything from bartending to waitressing. There really is nothing like being waited on by the owners! They sometimes have amazing specials, or, if you ask nicely, an impressive supply of tequilas you will have never heard of. A little on the pricey side, but if you want to enjoy good food and drink with friends, this is the place to go!
I should know, we go every two weeks.

For the last 40 years I have gone to Alfies for the hamburger or cheesburger and never bothered to try anything else the burgers are that good. About ten years ago I tried the ribs. The ribs are as good as any I had at Naperville's rib fest. All the food is good but the burgers and ribs are outstanding. The menu is growing after decades of a menu I could memorize. Maybe in 30 years I might venture away from the burgers and ribs. Maybe
Pros: great burgers, outstanding ribs, ample parking
Cons: can get crowded

Curly's is a nice pub/restaurant. Though in a small space, it has a table section and a bar area. It also has a really nice beer garden out back.
They have a typical "American" selection of food on their menu, from hamburgers to chicken sandwiches, etc. They have a nice beer selection, and the staff is always very friendly.
They also have live music. As it is a small space, it can get very, very crowded.

The food here is really good. Their salsa is actually served warm. I love that, but some people don't like that. Their fajitas are very fresh tasting. I also like thier nachos. They have good guacamole, too.
I love their bar. The staff and servers here are always nice. They remember you each time you come in, which is rare.
It is a bit expensiv fow what it is. After all, Mexican ingredients are not costly. However, this is Glen Ellyn, and a lof of things are expensive.
Pros: Great food
Cons: expensive for mexican

When we moved to Lombard it took a few trys to find good Chinese. After a couple of terrible Chinese restaurants we found the Golden Wok II and have never ordered out from any other Chinese place. Whenever my "chinese food buddy" comes to my house, we head over to Golden Wok for the buffet, which is pretty darn good. At the time of writing this they are on vacation and I am totally bummed that I cannot have my Chinese food fix until tomorrow night!
You can never go wrong with the beef fried rice or the Mui's special. I think they have the best crab rangoon that I have ever tasted too. Chicken fried rice is a little dry (the chicken) that is why I switched to the beef, but all around I have never had anything there that I didn't like. Service is quick and everyone there is very nice.
Pros: Great meals for a decent price
Cons: They aren't located right next door!

I think this is the best Italian around. The last time I went there I got baked mostacolli, and it was awesome. I also like their gnocchi. No one else makes it as good.
Their pizza is the best, too. It is very cripsy and flavorful. if you like deep dish, theirs is awesome. It is so full of cheese and very saucey.
They have Italian ice and the regular desserts like tiramisu. Theyre all good.
There is usually a long wait no weekends, so I think take-out is better. Also, there tends to be a lot of large groups and annoying kids. I know that happens when the prices are good.
Pros: Authentic food, good prices
Cons: Lots of large groups
