Stopped In here on a whim and so glad we did. The burger and pizza we ordered were made fresh and tasty. Absolutely delicious. The customer service was outstanding. We are definitely coming back here. Even the other customers are friedly with eachother and everyone saying hi, and have a good day. Whoever owns this place, thank you and great job.

Stopped by this spot while working sales accounts in the area and so glad I did! Nikki was warm and friendly and made me a delicious espresso martini, and the Greek chicken wrap was delicious! My fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy as well! The worst part about coming here was trying to decide what to order! I will definitely be back! Support local!

One of the best burgers I’ve had in the suburbs. They know their regulars well and are so quick to welcome you and remember you for next time. It’s been my new go-to bar because the food and service is stellar and even the other customers create a good atmosphere. Everyone here actually takes an interest in you and makes it an enjoyable experience every time.

Apple Martini were perfect—smooth, crisp, and just the right balance. The food was delicious from start to finish. Everything came out fresh and full of flavor. Definitely a spot I’d return to.

Giving two stars only because our sever was amazing! She was attentive and friendly.
I had come here a last year and remembered how delicious their martinis were. I’m participating in dry January but two weeks ago I had such a craving that I figured it’s worth breaking. Boy was I wrong. The Strawberry Short was so bitter, It was gross. I don’t know if something was spoiled or if it was made wrong. I mixed it with my husband’s Snickers and it made mine better but ruined his. Next I got the Chocolate Mint and it was disgusting. I couldn’t taste anything but mint, it tasted like mint toothpaste mixed with Vicks vapor rub.
Either the bartender had no clue on the ratios of the ingredients or some of the ingredients were bad. I just know this was a total disappointment, especially since I had such a good experience before.
By the way Wednesday Half OF Martini. Seriously it won’t cost that much to reprint that.

I’m reluctant to give a review because I want this place all to myself

Amazing hidden gem!! Definitely a great place with delicious food, drinks and a great atmosphere! Anything from a simple fresh beer to a delicious crafty martini or cocktail! Great pizza along with popular Polish Zapiekanki & pierogi 🙂 The owners Chris and Nikki are super sweet, welcoming and doing a great job! The homemade tiramisu is a perfect dessert to finish off with, has to be the best I’ve honestly ever had! Definitely recommend a jolly rancher martini

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of celebrating my 40th birthday at Illusions Cafe in Des Plaines. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Chris, the owner, was exceptionally responsive and accommodating to all my requests. The overall price was very budget-friendly. The ambiance at Illusions is delightful, and the staff is incredibly pleasant. They truly exceeded all my expectations. If you’re searching for a venue for a special event, I highly recommend this place! Their food was phenomenal too! Thank you, Chris, Monika, and everyone! My birthday couldn’t have been more perfect!

Update:
Ok update, online ordering is not working. She said to just call.
lol Anyways I tried their house vodka, it was delicious.
Also had to have the pizza again!!! Definitely recommend it.
The waitress was really considerate of our time crunch, that was really nice of her. She did say next time order online, so that’s cool. Anyways the pizza was amazing & my friend enjoyed her dish as well. We want to come back. I’m definitely coming back for the pizza. They also have their own house vodka. Pics to come.
