Id like to give this place more stars but beyond the hostess holding the door and being very friendly, the rest of the service was not good. Great selection of food and good quality food. The waiter had issues taking our order and didnt know what came with the food, types of soup and salad. The food took a long time to come, even though the place was only half full. We never saw the waiter again until he brought the bill and only at that time did he ask if I needed a refill on my ice tea. If the wait staff improves, I would give this place more stars.

We have been dining at Continental Restaurant for many, many years. The food is consistently good, the waitresses try their best to give great service, and most of all....the owner, Pete, goes out of his way to be friendly, helpful, and gracious to all his customers. He also does so much for the community!! When we are out of town, we are always looking to find a "Continental-type restaurant", but never do. Its definitely a home-away-from home!!

Weve been going to the restaurant for a few years now, the food is good, but last time I came with a little child, that needed to use the bathroom, I have to say, I have never noticed how DIRTY the bathroom are, not the floors, but the toilets, there are black spots in the toilet bowls, I looked at all of them, and they all had them...........makes you wonder how clean the restaurant is.......this ruined out family breakfast....

Love the place as always. But its nothing without Jennifer. Im so happy she is doing well and that my mornings are back to normal again. Breakfast with family again is what I call it!!!! Glad Pete was able to let her come back part time. She was so missed. My kids are so happy. As always she makes breakfast fun. Thanks again Pete for hiring a wonderful and kind person like Jennifer. 5 star service

Both food and service is excellent! I dont know if the Managers beat their employees up if they dont smile, be attentive, fill your glass before youre finished - whatever they ARE doing is amazing! Imagine ... a server who actually looks like they enjoy their job AND seems pretty happy that your butt is in their booth! Special shout out to Michelle, the Waitress ... really top notch, all the way!

We recently had our wedding ceremony and dinner reception in the Continental banquet room adjacent to the restaurant. Pete and his wife did a fantastic job decorating the room including the colors and design of the tables and the alter. The food and the service was excellent and all the guests commented on how perfect the evening was. Thank you so much for a most memorable experience!!

Prices are ok, serving are ok. However, the atmosphere in this restaurant is like at fast food. No music, only forks clinking. Floors not clean, dirty spots everywhere. We get a lipstick soiled glasses. Besides, potato patties were made from potato powder!!! This is disgusting! Definitely this is not a place to visit with your girlfriend. This is mostly about farm fast food..

We hosted a post Bar Mitzvah brunch for our grandson Ben. Everything was excellent and our private server was fantastic and was there for us during the entire event. The room looked beautiful and the food was excellent and the presentation was great. If you are looking for a venue for your event, check out The Continental in Buffalo Grove.

Ive been a customer of Continental since, well, the day before they opened. Youll continually find quality food, generous portions, and an owner greeting you at the door with a smile. Oh, and the banquet room is perfect for your small gathering, no matter what the occasion - Ive used it at least twice!

What this place has over other places is the large selection of menu options ranging from breakfast to dinner . What I like most is being able to catch a late breakfast . Food is great , prices are good , service is decent . Definitely give it a shot , this could end up being your go to place .

Very mediocre and bland , the atmosphere was stale and cold very uncomfortable and unwelcoming , for the quality of food it was overpriced , service was unattentive, i dont really write reviews but i found this place such a disapointment i felt a dury to warn people ..... day ruined

I have been a customer of The Continental Restaurant for many years. (Which says alot all by itself). The food is always good, the price is right and best of all the wait staff really looks out for you. If you go on a Sunday morning expect a small wait in this popular eatery. Bob

great family restaurant. Big (huge) portions of ordinary food. Youll never rave about anything, buy I guarantee youll never leave hungry. Dont expect "farm to table" type food, but if Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy are your thing dont miss this place.

Waitress promised to give me a refill on my coffee and never did. A Fly came and rested on my food, never ate it again. When I went to pay, they never asked me how I liked it, they just wanted my $$$. Will never go there again!!!

Although hotly debated, Continental has the best Matzoh Balls in Buffalo Grove. A Jewish style deli in the Greek-Jewish style that you find in Chicago. Greek chicken in pita, flank steak, corned beef, omelettes and huge desserts.

Very disappointed. They are not shy with their menu prices and the food was adequate at best. There was eight of us and two of the eight dishes we ordered could have been sent back to the kitchen. We will not be coming back.

This is a B.G. institution. ... wonderful staff, and the boss - Pete - keeps this place humming like a Swiss watch... You know, I usually wont set foot in similar places... but this place is in a class of its own.

My family eats here often and I was thrilled with the level of service I received in checking ingredients and accommodating my food allergies. The Athenian Chicken was DELICIOUS. Ill be back.

As a local restaurant the food usually is pretty good and consistent. I do have to say that the few times I have been there sometimes the waitress staff and management seem to have attitude.

Soup is always great. Blue burger is a winner every time. They have books and coloring material to keep the kids occupied. Only have it 4 because the wait staff was lacking this last time.

Ive been here twice now and have had a great experience each time. Tried the cheese blintzes this time, but the skillets are also delicious. Ill definitely be back.

Good food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a late night dessert. Awesome banquet room with private bathroom. Owner works with the community benefiting each other.

Always worth it. The staff are well trained, well managed and ALWAYS friendly. Prices are average for the area, but the food is above average. Well worth the stop.

Lots of competition for diners in this area. The Continental is pretty good place, but nothing really sets it apart from anything else. Great lemon drop soup!
