Default Prairie Rock Brewery. Really nice inside and out.

But their food has really gone downhill in the last year, IMO.

Default I'd do Shaw's if seafood is an option.

Or Wildfire or Weber Grill if you want American meat. Champps is pretty dependable. There are two good Thai places a little further West on Golf Road - one just east of Higgins and one just west. Yu's on Golf is good Chinese and there is a new PF Chang's in the mall itself. Franco's deli next to Yu's is an excellent downscale Italian lunch spot. I think you're mostly going to get chains in the Woodfield area though.
