“I wholly support this shopping center. Not everybody wants to order clothing etc. by mail and hassle with sending items back if there are problems. Macys was busy and accommodating - a reflection of how many customers of all ages are rooting for and enjoying the Westfield mall.”
“Good variety of stores. Fast food/dining, exercise, candy, food store. Sunset foods great customer service and friendly staff. Driveup bag loading available. This chain has staples but also several items not found everywhere. If they don't carry it, they will try to get it.”
“There is a fine selection of excellent stores: REI, Barnes & Noble, Nordstrom Rack, HomeGoods, West Elm, J.Crew Factory, Athleta, and Whole Foods. I give the shopping experience high marks.
However, Mellody Farm built too many restaurants and eateries, making parking inconvenient—even dangerous—for pedestrians and vehicles. The complex's tall grasses are planted seemingly to reduce visibility and don't change seasonally. The grasses wilt when the weather gets cold, and are equally poor for seeing traffic and pedestrians in the lot, even during winter. The parking lot on its own deserves a low score.”
“The band I'm in, Livestream, played there and it was a great venue for an outdoor concert. Shops are plentiful and you'll enjoy the candy store that makes amazing toffee.”
“A lot of people think this store is a little pricey and it is for many items, but some are quite cheaper. For example, they have the absolute cheapest best pet pockets in all of Glenview. They also have the absolute cheapest frozen corns in four different style. And their chocolate is fairly cheap also. The service that you get is absolutely outstanding. The employees are always so helpful and the checkout time is extremely fast.”
“All sorts of different things, little things, chemistry, water, sweets, chips, and a whole bunch of other things! You can buy many things here for half the price than in other stores! So I definitely recommend it!!!”

“Village Square of Northbrook is a gigantic shopping plaza. Most of the name brand chains are there, offering merchandise at reduced prices.Huge parking lot with handicap spaces. The village square is several blocks along, so put on your hiking boots.”
“We've come to Ridge Plaza mostly for the Harbor Freight Tools that is located here but have also visited the Kohl's. There is a Portillo's here, a gym, a hair salon, and several other smaller stores and restaurants. When we visited in the winter, the parking lot was plowed and salted. I didn't see a patch of ice anywhere. The layout of the parking lot can be pretty confusing, there are a lot of intersecting roads. But, there is a ton of parking!”

“This strip mall is okay. Best place in it is Max and Benny's Restaurant. The only down side to this strip mall is the road exit. Many people think that the oncoming lane to enter the mall is a double left turn lane to exit the place. This makes it very dangerous. The mall could use a better enterance/exit design to make it safer for motorists.”
“I went to Michael's and was able to easily find a parking spot close to the store. There I was assisted by the cashier in using the new self checkout computers and made use of my 20% off coupon.”
“My guy and I visited the Dairy Queen during a ride through the area. It's hidden, but it's worth finding! We sat outside and ate our ice cream and enjoyed the area.”

“Depending on the day it's how it's going to be, Wednesdays are hard to find something good and everything is a mess, but on Fridays everything is new but it's more expensive. I recommend being there earlier.”

“It's an awesome neighborhood or City. There is a lot of restaurants and cool places. For example Jibek Jolu restaurant. I really recommend you visit some restaurants in this neighborhood and feel this vibe. Thanks”
“The Binny's here is great. Staff is very knowledgeable and they will order anything legal that they don't have. Also, they have female staff if you are more comfortable with a female sales person.”
“They have replaced Sports Authority, in my mind. They have a large variety of different of items for different sports including clothing. Their prices are very competitive. They don't have the greatest of customer service, but they make up for that in price.”
“This is a nice shopping center of you're looking for mainly corporate retailers and restaurans—Whole Foods, REI, Lowe's, DSW, Ulta to name a few. There are also a number of restaurants at the center, including Pinstripes, Buffalo Wild Wings, Zapatista, Meatheads, Potbellys and Starbucks of course. It can get congested on at busy times so be patient and drive slow. I regularly see pedestrians and kids running around. Electric vehicle charging is available too.”
“A wonderful place, well built, full of interning stores and people. Prices are a bit much and a lot of vanity shops but there are some real good restaurants! Would for sure recommend.”

“Nice shopping center. Unfortunately the Barnes and Noble bookstore pictured has gone out of business. I don't recommend the dental to anyone who needs dentures. I have now been toothless for more than 6 months.”
“Safe & this Plaza is your #1 stop for it all. Literally your new destination for it all: shopping, spa, grocery shopping, or any food spot this Plaza has got you covered with all your bases covered. Run don't walk to Plaza Del Prado.”
“Come for the Best Buy and LA Fitness. Stay for the fried chicken at Cane's.Nothing quite as satisfying as working out to failure and then hobbling over to some greasy chicken.”

“This is a great shopping center because they have a Marshalls, which is great, but I just love the Old Navy store. Old Navy is like a big secret. They are clothes are very low priced but they are owned by gap so the styles and quality is just like gap but you’re paying much lower prices if you wanna dress like your 24 and look younger, no matter what your age and stay modern with the times Old Navy is the store.”

“It's a decent Jewel, not as good as the Highland Pk Jewel - therefore, this Jewel isn't as crowded. But, the area has a big variety of different stores & restaurants”
“While there have been a few relatively recent vacancies in the mall, entirely due to covid and those businesses not being able to make it through to the other side, I know the management will have new merchants filling in the gaps in no time. I really enjoy shopping at the grocery store for their quality and selection, as well as the consistently high level of cleanliness throughout the entire store! I've also needed to buy a few things at one time or another from the medical supply store, be it for myself, family, or friends, and always am amazed at the variety of products available in stock, as well as their ability to special order something for you and have it in hand the next day! I could keep going about the other tenants and the great experience I've had with each, but in the interest of brevity I'll stop and instead encourage you to visit the selection of stores and see what I've been saying! ??”
“I go to Pearl Vision in this shopping center & highly recommend Dr. Steve & staff. I especially want to commend Doug who helps in front. Every time I see him he is going above & beyond for whatever customer he is helping.”
“This is a nice shopping center thats even complimented by a high-quality Hampton Inn. Parking can be kind of chaotic in this mall with all the traffic, especially on weekends.”
“My family and friends met up at this place and had a wonderful time with the live bands and delicious foods too. I had a nice view as I tried to show some of my pictures. Thank you for a great show and protection as well.”
“Okay place. The place nice better lighting and the parking area definitely needs some work and the asphalt needs to be upgraded.
Few great businesses here.”
“The grocery here is wonderful. Lots of fancy party foods as eell as staples. Parking is abundant. Wide variety of restaurants to choose from - something for every palate. Careful this place is slightly hidden behind rows of trees - Don't miss it!”
