10. Gyorgos

7233 State Park Rd, Fox Lake, IL 60020-1027 American [email protected] +1 847-629-5947 https://www.facebook.com/GyorgosCafe/

Reviewed By Kelly K

The owners of Gyorgos have been in the restaurant business for more than 30 years. They know what they're doing and they do it well. Breakfast is always my favorite meal but there are gems on their menu that must be tried. Prime rib is perfection. There are a variety of sandwiches I'd recommend but the Butchy's Express is my fave. And try the Greek specialties. I've not had a bad meal from their kitchens ever. Tell them Kelly sent you!

Have gone here for 10 years. Always a great place to meet friends, have wings, pizza, or a great game of pool or darts. Good clientele, excellent bar staff. One of the best sports bars I have ever seen.

Zaza Italian Eatery

Reviewed By Monarch132

Was looking for a place to take my husband for his birthday after a day of boating. I Googled around and looked on Trip Advisor to find a new place to try. We decided on this place after looking at some reviews. The reviews were hot and cold on this place but went with the good ones. We followed GPS to get here (never would have passed it by normally). We had the king crab and orange roughy/crab cake. Our dinners plus some drinks came to $130 plus tip. We spent a little extra on the occasion but there were lower prices options. We had a great meal! I will try the steak next time. Our server brought a lovely chocolate cake for my husband on his birthday. Very nice :)

Dockers

Reviewed By bertjlama

I tried to be objective, but when it comes to this particular restaurant, it was absolutely atrocious! The service was awful. We came by water, by jet skis. The food was mediocre, burnt actually on one of the sandwiches. I do not recommend this restaurant at all! I don't know how it gets great reviews. We were on the deck on this particular day and yes it was warm but it certainly wasn't overwhelming for the service for what we got.And I will say I have been at this place more than once and got the same service, I don't know why I keep going back there!

We frequent Lynn Catherine’s mainly for dinner and/or Wednesday Trivia. Everything we have ordered there has been delicious. Servers Bobbi and Letha are friendly and efficient. DJ Kyle does a fabulous job of making trivia entertaining and challenging.

We were introduced to Bobby’s by friends and were so thankful they did! Best local breakfast spot with great food and atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you feel as though you’re at a friends house for breakfast. The owner and staff walk around saying hi and always recognize you when you come back. The food is great and reasonably priced. Even the customers are all pleasant to each other and feels like you’re visiting with old friends. Would highly recommend this place for a stop and don’t forget to try the NY strip with eggs or the pancakes!

Called in on way back to airport. What a find it was. Waitress and owner were brilliant, tried to teach them a bit about English breakfasts lol. Food was excellent, probably the best breakfast on this trip. Next time we are passing will definitely call again next time we are passing. Top marks for food and hospitality Thank You
