Traveling to Schaumburg

My wife and I are traveling to Schaumburg for some shopping and some time away. Any good restaurants to try in the area? She hates taking me shopping... I have so many options now!!!! (Almost at the 100 lb mark.) Started at 330 - Currently at 234 - Goal of 195

In Schaumburg I'm fond of Big Bowl, Shaw's and Benihana.. all chains, but all delish!! Shaw's and Big Bowl are at Streets of Woodfield (right off 53/290) and Benihana is west from 53/290 on Higgins Rd just past Meacham.. (I think it's across from a Dominick's or a Jewel shopping center) Stef (congrats on the fantastic loss!!)

Gino's East (pizza) ... west of the intersection of Golf and Algonquin ... it's on Golf Road just east of Woodfield. Gaylord India Restaurant - south of Woodfield off Meacham on Higgins I believe. Portillo's .. lol .. 'nuff said.

There are 3 fantastic steak houses in that area. Morton's(stuffy) Meacham north of Golf Rd (Rt 58), Chicago Prime (little more casual but still dressy casual) on Meacham north of Higgins (Rt 72) and Woodfire (my favorite and the most casual of them all) on Higgins just west of Meacham. They are all within 2 miles of each other and about 1/2 mile west of Woodfield. You have Champs, on Golf west of Meacham, Prairie Rock (microbrewry) on Meacham just south of Mortons and again north of Golf (Rt 58), these are great for sandwiches and a nice casual full dinner. There is also Ram, which is a microbrewry, just north of Golf and a little NE of the Hyatt Hotel, sorry do not know what the name of the road that goes past it. It is just west of Rt 53, the expressway. There are the usual chains, TGIF, Olive Garden, Chevy's, Panera Bread, Red Lobster, John's Garage (in Mall), Rainforest Cafe, Mickey D's, Portillo's, Chili's, Old Country Buffet, Bennigan's, Fuddruckers, Houlahan's, Hooter's. Try these two web sites, www.woodfield.com this is for the shopping center and this one www.chicagonorthwest.com this has links to what is in the area including restaurants. If I think of more I will post them.

sorrrrryyyyy, I live close to the area and know it like the back of my hand and I am passionate about the area.

No problem... We ended up getting a little to eat at IKEA and then went over to Panera's so we could use our laptops. Got there about 11:30 am and didn't start driving back home until about 10:00 pm !!!! Wow, it's nice to try on suitcoats that look good!
