Golden Kitchen - (Near Monticello, IL)

Sy W Amazing brunch experience! There was a very kind and friendly female server at the bar. I forgot to ask for her name but just wanna give her a big shout out for the friendly service she provided! Overall food was amazing, served in small plates. Easy for sharing. Pita bread was super fresh, came out hot and delicious. Christmas decorations were absolutely stunning and pretty. Got popular very soon for brunch on a Sunday and servers DO need to check in more. It took us a while to order food every time just because how busy it got. We also upgraded to premium unlimited drinking menu which was more like meh. All drinks were premade. Nothing special. My favorite was the kiwi smash. Street parking was easy to find.

Ashley Nunya You can tell the owner takes pride in his store. The bathrooms and the store were both very clean and organized! Customer service was great as well!

Jeremiah Griffin On an afterthought on my day I began a quest for a proper Chicago dog, I stumbled upon Zaes and let me tell you, it’s the real deal. The lunch special is a steal, and the staff? They’re so friendly and helpful. The menu boasts far more than just hot dogs—though let’s be honest, I was here for the main event. Their Chicago dog, dragged through the garden with all the fixings, was a nostalgic ride. And the fries? Oh, those golden beauties deserve their own fan club. They make fast-food fries look like sad, soggy impostors. Dont waste your time with a chain, this place is a must-visit for Chicago dogs.

Meredith W It’s so nice to visit a bowling alley that’s well maintained with accurate hours and functional lanes, returns, arcade games. Plus an open kitchen and a very observant staff. I highly recommend.

Kat Soren Really great salads, steaks and desserts. Classic old school atmosphere. Friendly service!

Eunju Tae You know those meals that just make you happy? This was one of them! My husband and I hit the jackpot at this restaurant. We ordered four dishes and a dessert, and each one was better than the last. Seriously, every bite was a joy. You can taste the passion and effort they put into their food. Our server, Nina, was the cherry on top. She was super friendly, knew the menu inside and out, and was just genuinely kind. Great food plus great service? What more could you ask for? If youre looking for a spot that serves amazing food and has a killer staff, this is it. Im already counting down the days until my next visit!
