It was my parent’s 35th wedding anniversary and the staff took the time to write them a little card. It was so sweet and thoughtful! Christine was absolutely incredible, friendly and helpful explaining the menu. The food was exquisite, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and just overall a great experience. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the food, service and ambience. Our favorites were the sisig, adobong isda and the mango ice cream which were delicious! The cocktails were great. They have coat checks as well! Highly recommended and definitely will come back. 👌

“Boone’s Filipino Restaurant delivered an amazing dining experience.”

Boone’s Filipino Restaurant delivered an amazing dining experience. I started with Bundok’s Fried Chicken, which was perfectly crispy, crunchy, and juicy. The house-made signature barbecue sauce on the side was flavorful and made each bite even better. For my main dish, I had the Bistek Silog with marinated beef short rib, calamansi, and caramelized onions. The short rib was incredibly tender and juicy, paired perfectly with fresh garlic rice and a runny egg on top—simple, comforting, and packed with flavor. The service was outstanding—friendly, polite, and attentive to dietary needs. The ambiance was cozy, warm, and vibrant while still feeling intimate. Boone’s is definitely a spot worth visiting, and I’ll be back.

I had an unforgettable meal here with a dear friend. First, thank you Kristin for your contagious enthusiasm, warmth and for outstanding service. Everything was delicious but the beef pares, spring rolls and the pork belly appetizer were out of this world! Food comes out from the kitchen piping hot and every dish has a fully balanced flavor profile; sweetness, saltiness, rich fats, citrus and umami. As good as it gets folks!

A MUST TO VISIT. Authentic flavors. Here’s what I ordered for Brunch/Lunch. 1) Lumpiang Shanghai was authentic, with enough meat and garlic flavor. 2) Bistek Silog and Longsilog were really good. 3) Fried Chicken was very tasty. It’s not the same as Jollibee, and it shouldn’t. It’s authentic Filipino-flavored style fried chicken, and has its own individual taste. 4) I had ordered bagnet to go, so I’m assuming that’ll be amazing, too. They only have 1 dessert, which I decided not to get: Halo Halo. Not because it wouldn’t be good. Their ingredients, though included Ube jam and ice cream, were limited to macapuno and nata de coco. I like my halo halo with multiple texture, so the absence of mixed beans, kaong, etc, was the reason I didn’t get it. I know the flavor would’ve amazing, but I also wanted texture. In general, one of the best Filipino restaurant in mainland Chicago. EXCELLENT. (PS: their restrooms have a bidet, and feminine essentials for women if needed. Very well prepared.)

“We had the most amazing meal here.”

We had the most amazing meal here! We use to frequent a lot of Filipino restaurants, and this is by far the finest experience. Everything was delicious and perfect; you can tell they pay a lot of attention to the preparation of the food. The ambiance and vibe is wonderful and we loved their music selection.

“Loved everything about Boonie’s.”

Loved everything about Boonie’s! 🩵 The Sizzling Sisig, Maitake Piaparan, and Whole Fish Inasal were all standouts and packed with so much flavor. Cocktails were a hit too, we got the Paw Paw Margarita and Calamansi Sour. Such a cozy spot with great service and all the feel-good vibes. Can’t wait to go back. 🤍

“Boom this place is bomb.”

Boom this place is bomb! Our server was super energetic and happy and I kinda liked it. The garlic rice is indeed the most awesome. The sisig is so flavorful. Their crispy pork was a miss but the wagyu steak which was a beef cheek was insanely good and tender. Overall really big fan!

“We drove 1.5 hours from Kankakee (thanks Chicago traffic!) and it was worth every minute.”

We drove 1.5 hours from Kankakee (thanks Chicago traffic!) and it was worth every minute. Parking was easy—$7.50 for 3 hrs right in front. We arrived early and waited briefly, but service was excellent once seated. Ambiance is warm and authentic. The lumpia were fantastic, garlic rice divine, and crispy pata the star. Pancit (vegetarian) was flavorful, and kare-kare was unique though different from what I expected. The bagoong was perfect. We’ll be back!

“Such a unique place with authentic, tasty dishes.”

Such a unique place with authentic, tasty dishes! Highly recommend making a reservation, they’re busy! And if you get a chance to sit at the bar for their bar only specials, the burger looked good! The lumpia was so crispy and flavorful, the pork belly with egg was so unique and great with the garlic rice. An earl grey tea wrapped it all together. A great place to try Filipino food!
