Jimmy's Charhouse - Libertyville

We decided to dine here to celebrate our sailor's graduation from Great Lakes. The ambiance was fantastic, and our waitress provided excellent service. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We sampled a variety of dishes, from octopus to steak, and everything was absolutely delicious!

My wife and I have been frequenting this restaurant for over 20 years. John has always greeted us warmly, making us feel welcome every time. The staff is exceptional as well—John and Maria at the front are wonderful, and Rick, Cassie, and Abby at the bar are fantastic. Kelly and Nancy in the dining room are truly our treasures. And let's not forget the food; it's amazing! I find myself checking the website almost every day just to see their creative specials.

I have been here many times and the food has always been above average. Last night my meal was awful. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu. The description was what I received but shame on me for deciding that was acceptable. What was served was aflattened chicken breast with 2 pieces of ham and a piece of swiss cheese on top. $23.95. It had no flavor and was disgusting. I didnt complain at the time as I didn 't want to upset my dad. The spinach on the side tasted better than the main part of themeal. I called when I got home and the hostess told me she 'd let the chef know that chicken cordon bleu was not made correctly. This makes me laugh now at how ridiculous an answer that was. Oh well, never will I order chicken cordon bleu here again. The cauliflower mash is so delicious!

This was our first visit to Jimmy's Charhouse, and I was really impressed by both the food and the service. I ordered the largest Cuban sandwich I've ever seen, and it was packed with so much meat that I couldn't eat it with my hands—I had to use a knife and fork. Even as a big eater, I could only manage to finish about half of it, so I took the rest home in a takeout box. Without a doubt, this was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had.

Our waitress was fantastic. The food came out perfectly cooked and everything tasted great. Close by a lot of the hotels and the recruitment center. Definitely recommend taking your graduate, or anyone, there for an amazing meal.
