I love food. And when I love a restaurant, that means something.
My favorite baba ghannouj (indescribably good) and tabouleh in the world (not overloaded with bulgur, lemony, tangy, flavorful, plenty of green, with delicious marinated tomato and onion bits).
Really good falafel sandwiches (the patties are crunchy, but not dry. moist and steaming and very tasty) with lots of tahini sauce. I now live in California, which is kinda hippie-falafel-land, but they got nothin on Pita in.
(insider tip: You can also ask for a little plate of complimentary(!) green olives, radish pickle, and seasoned raw onions when you pick up your food.)
Go here. Give em your business. And don't get fazed by the line out the door; they're quick enough and it's worth the wait.

I love Outback Steakhouse. Yes, it is a chain. Yes, its menu is the same from state to state. What makes this place different from so many other is that sameness means quality and that you can find great food no matter where you are.
For my family, this restaurant located in suburban Skokie is our traditional Outback to go to. It can get insanely crowded. My tip? The bar area is first-come/first-serve. So, put your name in for a table and then hang out near the bar area. When someone leaves, jump into the booth, knocking over elderly women and small children if necessary, and get a seat. You'll probably get one there before your name is called from the list.
Recently Outback took off may favorite dish from their menu; the Outback Rack. However, they have a great pork chop that is almost as good and worth going back for. Their Bloomin' Onion is essentially nothing but bad for your heart and cholesterol, but if you are going to Outback to be weight conscious you are in the wrong place.
Service is always pleasant and the atmosphere is always laid-back. We get and give gift certificates to this place for holiday gifts and not one has ever not been used. Great place, great food, decent prices. It's a winner.

Poochie's Hot Dogs is where my husband would like to work after he retires. I said OK!, Well at least this would get us back home to Chicago where we belong!
So thank you Poochie's for having such wonderful Chicago hot dogs, and fries. No matter what else is going on in town when we come home to visit my husband makes us visit you.
You are always reliably the very best. Thank you!

I think I've gone through the whole menu by now, and the food has been uniformly scrumptious.My favorites -- chopped salad, shrooms, coconut shrimp, lamb chops, scallops griller, and all the pasta dishes. A bit pricey, but you get value for your money and the service is great. We almost always take leftovers home, and they're great the next day, too.

This is a really nice and casual place to go for a good burger. Their burgers are really juicy, are loaded with lots of great toppings, and are super tasty. And for those of you who are a bit more health concious, they have great salads to choose from as well. Its a well kept restaurant with a very family-friendly atmosphere, so it makes for a great weekend-night out with the entire family. And everybody will be sure to enjoy the great food too!

I go to this Jewel to pick up my groceries all the time. This store is really big and they have everything I need here. I can even get shampoo and soaps from the store right next door Osco. I think you should get their Preffered Card becaause you can really save a lot of money with that card. I have a key chain with the card so I never forget. Go to the front desk and pick one up so you can save at this great store.

My husband and I went here for dinner the other night and had a fantastic time! The food was really great with a great drink menu as well. Even better was the service. The wait staff was extremely friendly and fast. This would be a great pick for lunch or dinner in Skokie!
