Restaurants near Howard Johnson Inn and Suites Elk Grove Village

Got together to celebrate my dad's birthday. Food and service was great but very expensive so this place is for special occasions only. It's also fairly loud and dark so it's hard to have conversations at times.

We had a superior meal. Additionally, the service was great and attentive!

I’m always amazed at how many restaurants seat you at the worst table in the place. To the hostess’s credit she did finally seat us in a very nice booth. Server Jerry was fantastic and very patient. We were able to really enjoy the food and company. Jerry made great recommendations for wine and food making it a special holiday dinner with friends. Great menu and delicious food.

As always, Jamison’s delivered. We went on Thanksgiving evening we had a reservation the restaurant was very crowded, but we were seated within 10 minutes of our time. My wife had the fillet kebabs, and I went with the porterhouse both were cooked to perfection and super tasty. You cannot go wrong here. Everything that went with the dinner was also awesome. The soup, the salad the sides were perfect.

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was a lovely afternoon. The servers were quick with anything we needed and were always friendly. They were also helpful - my husband asked for Turkish coffee and the server responded that black coffee was included but there would be an extra charge for Turkish. Totally reasonable and I appreciated not getting a surprise added charge later. The food was solid, especially the cold apps/salads, cig kofte, lentil soup, bread basket, and the two meats made from ground meat. It's tough to prepare food for such a large group, so not surprising that the chicken kebabs were drier than I'd like. I was sad not to see any lamachun available, as it was listed. But that's okay as that's also something that's better when it's piping hot. At no point did anyone indicate that they needed our table, which can be a concern both at buffets and on holidays. We were able to relax between courses and enjoy the holiday as a family. I'd happily return!
