Cadwell’s Grille

Never again. All you can eat tacos come in servings of three tacos. All three tacos added together with out the shells makes ¾ of one regular taco. It’s nice to see the staff make fun of a group of people who have ordered a total of 12 tacos but really only eat 3 or 4. My tips reflect service even if the service was shitty I still tip well. This guy talking poo poo about customers will give him a 2 dollar tip from this guy. Id never eat there again and you shouldn’t even try it

I find it difficult to reward one staff, but they deserve more stars than the garbage they are serving. We have been coming to this restaurant for 4 years. We eat here approx twice a year on Wednesdays because they had excellent prime rib. Well let me announce to all this food has changed. The quality beef I buy at Marianos is better than the prime rib we ordered last night. Hello what about seasonings? Any available? Restaurant taste, zest, but want something. I was appalled at the quality is f this tough prime rib, you couldn’t spare the tiny asparagus, and you forgot to salt the outside of the baked. Ok I wan great and you weren’t even on. No more…

This place is not good. The food is very mediocre. Maybe same quality and taste as a restaurant like Applebee’s caliber? This is the only restaurant in the hotel Embassy Suites, so if you stay there, you’ll probably end up eating here if you don’t want to drive out or get delivery.
I had their burger, which was nothing special and over-​cooked. I’ve had the seared ahi tuna, and I could tell some of the pieces were bad cuts because they were veiny and too chewy. I’ve also had the chicken wings in the spicy garlic flavor. Again, nothing memorable and very average (or below average?) The desserts are roughly the equivalent of buying something (over-​sweet) in the frozen section of a grocery store.
Pretty pricey too. Service was nice.
I would not recommend this place unless you were too desperate or lazy to get delivery or drive out.

I’ve had lunch here and thought it was okay. Last night we decided to try the Sunday night special. We had to ask for the special menu (3 course meal for $ 15). Apparently, even though it’s advertised, it’s a secret. The waiter was surprised we knew about it. When it’s on the website?
Service was the poorest I have ever experienced. We waited for menus, water, bread, even the appetizer!
There were 3 servers. The female ignored us completely. Even when we tried flagging her down. This isn’t the biggest restaurant so no reason for her not to see us. The two other servers were nice but so slow! The place was not crowded so I am not sure why service was lacking.
The food is average tasting. The prices are okay for the area. That being said, there are many good places within a 5 minute drive of the Embassy Suites. Next time, I’ll try them.
A note to Management, you really need to train your wait staff if you want to be successful.

Overpriced food quantity small. Typical mediocre hotel restaurant.
Ordered prawns and grits. 3 shrimp and 2 tbl grits for$ 25. That’s $ 8/​shrimp. I complained and they brought out 2 more shrimp. That’s still $ 5/​shrimp.
We will not be going back ever

The food was good fast service the salad bar was a nice touch if you go during the hotels happy hour and sit at a table where you can watch the atrium you can see the lines of cattle trample each other for plates of something that looks like nachos or popcorn or something worth risking your life for lol

I had a Cadwell’s Grill Groupon, so Mrs B and I came last night for dinner to check it out.
First of all, the Embassy Suites Hotel, in which Cadwell’s is housed, is tucked away a bit south of Lake Cook Road, adjacent to the Tollway Spur in Deerfield. You may also have trouble finding it because it has an itsy-​bitsy sign just off Lake Cook Road that only an astute eagle-​eye like me can find.
Cadwell’s is inside an atrium-​style hotel, and is just beyond the hotel check-​in desk. It is surrounded on all sides by the hotel lounge, breakfast room, elevators, and other busy activities that defy the concept of a quiet, moderately upscale spot (which, I think, it aspires to be).
We arrived a little after 5 pm on a Saturday night, and a few diners had just begun to drift in. We were seated promptly, and were provided menus.
I ordered a half-​chicken dinner, and Mrs B ordered Walleye (not from the movie). We also opted to patronize their salad bar, which cost an additional $ 5/​person. The salad bar offered a variety of lettuce styles, vegetables, side dishes, and the like as well as soup, bread, fruit, and brownies (for dessert). I found the salad bar to be satisfactory, but not outstanding, because it did not offer as broad an assortment of side dishes as I would have expected.
While we were visiting the salad bar, there was a commotion in the atrium at about 5:30 pm. We saw dozens of kids running up and down the ramp that leads into another part of the atrium. Other invaders swarmed into the area from the nearby atrium elevators. The older ones walked and were a bit slower than the kids. We could not see where they were going or what they were doing — but they seemed to be eager to get wherever they were going. It was not a party, wedding, bar mitzvah, or any special occasions like those.
Our meals were delivered 20 – 25 minutes after ordering, and we were pleasantly surprised by the nice presentation and balance to the entrees. My dinner included some broccoli, and the florets were dyed different colors: blue, yellow, red, etc. The half chicken was also accompanied by scalloped potatoes. I enjoyed my meal and asked the waitress to box up the leftovers for our consumption the next day. Ditto for my wife.
While eating dinner, Mrs. B said she thought our waitress was French. According to her, she thought the lady had a Gallic accent. I said I thought she was German. Now, we seesawed over this matter for a long time: maybe 25 seconds. In order to resolve this dire matter, I asked the waitress whether she was French and German. HA-​HA, I won!!! She said she was Polish, and everyone knows that Poland is closer to Germany than France.
The service and meal were very nice, although the place is a bit noisy; and I would recommend Cadwell’s for a moderately upscale dining experience.
As we picked up our «doggie box,» we checked out the atrium, and we learned why there was a hustle and bustle an hour earlier. Ends up that the hotel breakfast room is used for a «happy hour» from 5:30 to 6:60 or so every night. They serve popcorn, beverages, and the like. The kids must have been ravenously hungry. As you Chicagoans know, the poverty-​stricken North Shore kids are terribly underfed and undernourished, and this was their only meal of the day. [And if you believe that, I will sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.]

My family and I recently stayed at the Deerfield Embassy Suites where Cadwell’s is located and decided we didn’t want to leave the hotel for dinner so we wandered down to the restaurant to check things out.
My first thought from looking at the menu was that we are going to pay a premium price for wanting to stay in. $ 14 for a burger, $ 8 for kids mac and cheese. Yes… these are premium prices for this area but we went ahead hoping the food would be good.
Unfortunately I was very underwhelmed with the food and even more so with the service. Our server Jessica was more interested in closing down the salad bar and her tables than she was in serving us. We arrived about 45 minutes prior to close and it seemed like her main goal was to get out of there ASAP. The burger was plain, dry and boring. We had a Margarita flat bread with very wet can chewy dough (maybe the kitchen was in a hurry too), and our sons $ 8 mac and cheese was just so so and a pretty small portion, especially considering the price.
I will say though, if there was one highlight, it was the Thai spicy buffalo wings. While also ridiculously over priced, they were near perfect with very crispy and crunch skin with very moist and tender meat and a perfect coating of Thai sauce. An order of the wings cost more than my burger, but I wish I would have doubled up on the wings and skipped the burger all together. They really were that good.
It is doubtful that I will ever return to Cadwell’s again, even if we do stay at the hotel. With not so great overpriced food and poor service, I will take a drive down the street to the many other restaurants in the area next time.

I just love this hidden north shore gem! Cadwells just started offering their salad bar for dinner, well worth it. Dining area is fresh, clean and relaxing. We bought a groupon and didn’t even use it as the salad bar was excellent and not even close to the $ 40 groupon. I held a lunch meeting here this past Tuesday and my colleague is actually returning with other business folks for another meeting early next week. I just love how clean and open feeling the place is, even when it’s busy! Warm pretzel bread is really good, salad bar options are not your typical. This is a great place to have a business lunch, or even get together with family. I have dined here more than 5 times now, referred friends as well as family and have nothing but rave reviews. They can accommodate any palate with a extensive selection as well as kids menu. This place is a «groupon success story» where I went initially for a discounted rate and was so happy that I’m now having meetings and referring clients.

Wow, what a great-​priced hotel restaurant! Hubs and I bought a groupon as something different to do, and we’re pleasantly surprised by the food! The heart attack burger is OMG amazing, and other selections are the right size for the price. On top of that, great service as well!

Service was good but the food not so much. Order their pizzas if you want a bang for your buck, otherwise, eh. Upon perusing some of the other reviews, I’m shocked to see the Boursin Stuffed Chicken was given 5 stars. To that reviewer, please know that I’m giving you a semi-​appalled, semi-​quizzical look. That chicken was completely frozen before they heated it up and put it on your plate. The chicken was absolutely dry. The only thing that made up for it was the mashed potatoes! You’re crazy dude with a capital C. C-​r-​a-​z-​y.
Additionally, their bar wouldn’t take credit card! They had to go old school and do one of those carbon copy scratcher things. Also, there was hardly any seating so I took my glass of Chianti up to my room. Yay, me!

Well I decided to order from this place for my second time through grubhub… The first time I ordered the Boursin stuffed chicken which to put it nicely was barely stuffed with anything including flavor. But I thought maybe that was just not a good choice. This restaurant is ridiculously over priced so I waited quite some time to try it out for a second time. Today I ordered the rustic shroom flat bread and the Chicago ribs… The second I opened my bag I knew something was wrong. The menu listing said my ribs included mashed potatoes and veggies. I actually ordered that for my 2 year old, we have had a rough couple weeks because my husband passed away a few days after Christmas. So I have been mostly ordering out due to the fact that I have no desire to cook at all and I am spoiling her rotten right now. Of course I really depended on receiving those sides but instead they sent pub fries and coleslaw which she will not eat. I had grubhub call them and was told they refused to send any more food or give me a partial refund because of the fact that doesn’t come with the ribs even though it was crystal clear on the menu. We were stuck to eat what we ordered which would have been ok if the food hadn’t been so awful. The ribs were awful and rubbery… typically ribs are easy to feed to her because the meat is tender. This wasn’t the case at all, I can honestly say that boston markets ribs were cooked better! The pub fries I actually enjoyed which was good because my flat bread was seriously lacking… the supposed asparagus was just the ends they cut off of another order of asparagus! they were just little shriveled up ends! (The last time I ordered from here I ordered a $ 7 side of asparagus and I know they had good quality asparagus minus the gross dirty ends that I received this time) The flat bread also had a strange tasting pizza sauce that was not included in the description in the menu. There was maybe 4 mushrooms on the entire SHRROOOOMMMM flatbread!!! The fact that they have the nerve to charge such outrageous prices yet decide not to deliver on that through the quality of the food is the worst part. If you decide to eat from this restaurant DO NOT ORDER THE RIBS!!!

Excellent food and service! Our waitress was Jessica. Went in on a Saturday night and the place was relatively quiet. Bought the groupon and it was totally worth it. Probably would come here without one. Will be going again. (If you love burgers, get the heart attack. Also, if you love apple pie and funnel cake order their apple dessert. Holy crap — it was to die for)

It was decent for a restaurant inside a hotel, a little noisy. Food was okay, my Cesar salad was good, but then again how can u mess up a salad… I also ordered buffalo wings, it was too dry.

They offered a Groupon so I thought would try it. It’s inside a hotel within a noisy echo chamber of a interior courtyard. The menu looked very interesting although didnt live up to what I had hoped. The salads were very good. The flatbread pizzas were… well… not flatbread and more like gooey over-​cheesed blobs. I will not be returning.

I have to agree with Larry P, decent food for a hotel restaurant. We decided to give Cadwell’s a try because we were exhausted and didn’t want to go anywhere — we just decided to hang out at the hotel and turn in a little early.
We shared a number of things:
Chicken soup 3 stars
Mediterranean Brushetta 4 stars
Boursin Stuffed Chicken 5 stars
Service 4 stars
Atmosphere 3 stars
A good choice if you are in the mood to stay at the hotel for dinner or drop in for a bite.

Decent food and beer for a hotel restaurant. A good selection of draft beer. Above average hotel-​style food. If you’re staying at the Embassy Suites and don’t want to go out, this is an acceptable choice.
