Barrington Square Mall — Attraction in Schaumburg Township

This mall as a whole has gone downhill over the years. There used to be several more interesting shops and a movie theater, but it's been a while since it saw it's best days. The bowling alley is very average, old timey and worn down equipment. Garibaldi's is better than average Italian food and the shining star of this mall, very friendly and community friendly place. There's America's Bar, aptly named, just like every other local bar. Most other businesses here are repetitious to other local businesses or nothing special. I wish they'd bring in some kind of new and interesting stores or entertainment venues, or at the very least update the existing ones to keep up with the times. This place feels like it's still stuck back in the 80's and has changed very little to keep up...

This is one of my family's favorite places to go. They offer really good comfort food. They have offer vegetarian options like cheese ravioli, salads, cheese pizza, and more. For the meat eaters, there are plenty of options. Try the friend mushrooms. They are one of our favorite items. I usually get a slice of pizza or the buffalo chicken sandwich. It's a good size piece of breaded chicken smothered in a delicious buffalo sauce. The place is clean, and has a retro look and feel. The service is great as well. They have the food ready quickly and they are pretty accommodating to requests like a cup for water or switching an option on...

I love how Barrington Square has been updated and cleaned up over the years. Poplar Creek Bowl and Garibaldi's have been the glue holding that place together for at least the last 25 years. The only thing I no longer like about this place is the fact that they removed 3 of my most frequented venues; the Classic Cinemas dollar theater, Gamer's Paradise, and the Burger King which used to sit on the outskirt. Because these 3 places are gone, I now only go there if I'm taking the kids bowling. Otherwise, despite that downfall, the whole mall does look much nicer...
