  If I could give 6 stars, I would. Imagine this, amazing sushi in Grayslake at a very good price. Yep. For $24 you can eat yourself silly on many different selections including a dozen or so rolls, apps and sushi/sashimi.

  They closed their doors in Feb 2012. Very sad day.

  What is more comforting than the big "M"? I'll tell you. When the big "M" is attached to BP! Grab some gas and some gas.

  Is it possible that there is a gourmet boutique craft beer and specialty wine shop in Grayslake? You betcha! Wine Knows has been around for about 5yrs and being a Beer Geek, this place is heaven. Hundreds of different types of bubbly brewed concoctions in the cooler and hundreds more on the floor. If you are looking for a rare Three Floyds - Gumball Head or Dogfish Head - 90min IPA. They have Triples, Barley Wines, Imperial Stouts and even some wheat beers. The selection is endless! Once you become a 'regular' Phil may let you purchase a few very special brews which he squirrels away for his very special customers - yes, this year he actually got 4 bottles of the super rare Dogfish Head 120min IPA.

  Wine and spirits are another area which is showcased very well at Wine Knows. Simply tell Phil what you like, how much you want to spend and he will make a match. Still don't know? There is always the ever popular 'Samples'. It feels like a weekly event, the wine tastings are frequent and popular. Several times a year he will have tastings involving 100 or 200 different wines. The cost - nothing. These tastings (beer and wine) are an outstanding opportunity to 'get to know' various beverages without having to purchase thousands of dollars of these potent potables.

  Warning: You will *NOT* find any box wine, jug wine, mass produced beers or anything with the name 'colt 45'...aka 'crappy stuff'. Cheers!

  Talk about an extremely local business. This place has been around forever, is virtually never closed and has just about everything. From beer, wine, tequila, rum and mixers to lottery tickets, candy bars and beef jerky, this very eclectic place should be visited in replacement to your mega mart or national chain.
