    One of my favorite restaurants in Arlington Heights. Food is always delicious, the cocktails are creative and tasty, and the service is always great. Try the little gems Caesar salad. It wonderful, with or without adding protein. Love their signature pizzas, too. They are large enough for 2 to share.

    I absolutely LOVE the food and the ambiance at 501! It is my favorite place to go with girlfriends for a celebration or just a long over due catch up! Everyone there is so kind and the vibe is always so happy, bright and chill. I am addicted to the Chicken Tacos, Cobb Salad and Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl! They also seriously have the best fries on the North Shore! And the Chocolate Strawberry Cake- omg! All of the food is so fresh and delicious and the cocktails are too!!
