“Most of the food was good. The Cajun shrimp and chicken pasta was disgusting. It tasted like dirty dish water. Everything else was delicious. Fish and chips, bourbon glazed wings, and the classic platter were satisfying.Our waitress was busy but didn't miss a beat. Overall, it was a good experience even with a busy toddler.Kid-friendliness: They give you a crayon and coloring sheet and have a kid menu.“
“Absolutely fantastic! I was researching burger spots in the area for a full 20 minutes and this won. So we had high expectations. This place exceeded all those expectations. We’re visiting from England and let me tell you, if the queen was still with us she would have given this place 10/10! As for myself, i’m giving it a 20/10. Highly recommend“
“I had the portobello philly with the shoestring fries and WOW. The veggies on the sandwich were cooked perfectly, the fries had great seasoning, and the portions were huge! The service was incredible, really amazing people. Definitely will eat here again, recommend without reservation.“
“Was in the neighborhood and I stopped by. Italian beef sandwich is amazing. Loaded with beef. Only thing that happened was that I ordered an Italian combo and I got just a regular Italian beef. Giardiniera was not spicy at all and I do like spicy. Otherwise, will probably be back.Parking: There is a parking lot on the side of the building.“
“Extremely popular, and very touristy. We came here after watching some food blogger’s recommendation. And it’s worth. It’s a shack like hot dog stand. They are super fast and cheap. We got a Polish sausage sandwich. It was hot and came with some caramelised onions on top and some roasted peppers as side. The sausage was good and the peppers were very refreshing. The fries were given as a side and they were hot, crunchy, and well seasoned. They don’t have any done in facility. However, you can stand and eat on the standing racks. Those stands/ racks were quite dirty- so we ultimately ate sitting inside our car. Overall, highly recommended if you are looking for a low cost, fresh meal.“
“Hidden gem!! The BEST burger I have ever tried hands down!!! I ordered take out and can’t even describe how amazed I was at the quality of this establishment. The seasoning on every item is to perfection, the meat I can definitely say is fresh. So many options and great prices. Will definitely be back to try other items from the menu. The shrimp tacos are a must also!“
“I went today…I did not get the name of the person who attended us. I believe he is the owner, he is very nice and welcoming. The chefs are kind with good vibes too. Overall Good vibes. The chicken is not dry, and the friendly fire fries are very well served and delicious. I know a lot of food places get promoted in the city, but I am happy to know that there is a good chicken place here in Forest Park, IL. The food is well priced, and not expensive. To anyone who wants a delicious chicken sandwich and amazing fries please go here. - Ramiro“
“The food was good. Server was very friendly and attentive. The only issue was ice. We ordered the peach teas which was bottled, but they weren't cold. They didn't have ice so we were stuck. My husband loved the Italian burger but said it was a little small for the price. I had a Chicago style polish which was good, but I wish they had tomato wedges instead of slices. Overall a good place to stop for lunch.“
“I really like the establishment, the incredible atmosphere, and the friendly team, as well as the owner)! The food is simply wonderful, the burgers are top?? Lately, we like to order shawarma and fries for the child, we eat everything with pleasure! We will definitely order more and come to visit you)“
“This was my 1st time there. I ordered a shredded bar b que pork sandwich; it was superb,moist and plentiful. I advise all pork lovers to visit this place. They had a huge variety of park favorites and also chicken corned beef and shrimpI will definitely watch there again. They get a "10" from me“
“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!!Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“
“Amazing food and drink. The burgers here are absolutely fantastic, and the fries are also quite good. The chocolate shake here is possibly the best shake I’ve ever had. The food is always delicious and the service is great and quick. I will always eat here when I get the chance. Best local burger in Chicago.“
“Was getting gas and saw this joint figure I'll check'em out. After looking at the menu real quick noticed the Spicy AF Double Cheeseburger so went with that. Bro this burger was phenomenal and definitely was spicy af too. The burger was messy, with grilled onion, cheesy spicy habanero ghost jack cheese, spicy mayo, and pickles. 9.2. I wasn't expecting a burger with mad flavor like this but is a well above-average burger. Got some fried pickles too they were decent nothing crazy here 7.5. Overall was impressed and I'll be back when I'm out this way. 8.7.“
“The curse breaker cheeseburger is good I ask for extra grilled onions and extra grilled jalapeños. The polish with extra grilled onions and mustard is even better. Definitely go and try both of these! The picture is bad. I wasn't going for pretty just for you to see the burger. Lol...“
“First time going here and it was such a welcoming experience! The wait wasn't that long and the food is made fresh! Great prices and amazing tasting food! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! we got a double cheeseburger and patty melt. THANK YOU TO THE COOK! ❣“
“Today we tried fattoush burgers for the first time and it is now going to be our new go to for burgers! We had the fattoush burger, mushroom Swiss burger and for sides we had fries and mozzarella sticks. All of the food was great but I have to say that is one of the best burgers we have ever had. We have found our new favorite spot and are going to make sure we let people know about this place!“
“I am a very huge fan of smaller scale restaurants that can be found hiding in the city. Family-owned businesses are typically the ones that have the best food because they do not necessarily look into mainstreaming menus and recipes. with smaller restaurants, you can typically find amazing price opportunities as well as some unique food that has not been released to the broad market. It almost makes locations like this become a treasure if you come across them. Huge shout-out for Lola's. Amazing dogs, burgers, shakes! give them a try when you get the chance. For me, it was worth every penny!“
“Came in to watch a March Madness game, got seats at the bar right away. Service by Amanda was top notch-she was very attentive without being too aggressive. Food was delicious! Highly recommend the friend pickles and the gyro trash sandwich. Natural cut fries are the best!“
“We ordered take out. Our wait for delivery was an hour. The food was cold. We did not receive syrup, butter, napkins or silverware. One order was missing the grits. One order was missing the potatoes. The potatoes that were delivered were under cooked and the onions and peppers topping them are raw. For $70+ we expected better.“
“Went to Lulu's with family I had two Polish sausage meals they were cooked hot and fresh My other family member had a gyro sandwich that was delicious well proportioned.I look forward to coming back for a nice down-to-earth place if you have time ,I suggest you please stop by You won't regret it.“
“A really great little place. My go-to for grilled burgers. If I had to say anything negative, maybe the sides of feta are a little small for the price. But I can always get that at the grocery store.It's somewhat greasy, good food when you have a taste for it.Dietary restrictions: I have a fish allergy, and I've never had a reaction from any of the food. So they do a good job keeping the fish/shrimp separate.“
“You will be happy you chose to eat at Burger Antics! I had the Midland burger. The caramelized onions, Dijon mustard, and pickles were so delicious. The fries are crispy and fresh. Cocktails are delicious and balanced. And if you have room for dessert, the carrot cake has the texture of a brownie with perfect cream cheese frosting. Service is fantastic!“
“You gotta open a joint down here in Florida...West Palm Beach. There no frigging good Italian food. Forgettaboutit ..the bread sucks... closest good food is at the market! Gotta make it! The ones down here trying to do it..can't do it!!! Period!!! I gotta ship my bread from home, providence rhode island. We need a place like yours. Just pick up that building and put it down here! I know a good spot..! Love ya style....“
“The dining experience was excellent! We ordered two double cheeseburgers and fries, all made fresh to order. Phil, the manager, provided exceptional service, offering helpful recommendations and treating us like part of the family. Whenever I'm in Chicago, I'll definitely be returning to this place and recommending it to all my loved ones! Thank you again PHIL!“
“Food was standard American menu but very very limited. Went there for breakfast and found the beer menu was longer than the breakfast options.It’s a fun place for little kids. The food is delivered on a train. Lots of arcade games.Parking: On street paid parking which is free on Sundays.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Lots of kids friendly foods. Food delivered on train. Arcade games.“
“I had the grilled chicken sandwich and boy was it absolutely delicious. Seasoned to perfection And a full juicy butterflied chicken breast. I should have taken a picture of it but I inhaled it , it was so good. I'll take a picture next time cause there will most definitely be a next time.“
“We recently catered food for a large party we hosted from Xando. Nothing but good things to say! We ordered the Greek salad, Greek potatoes, chicken Slouvaki, and vegetables. The food was packaged nicely in trays and large bags to ensure it would travel ok in the car. It was still hot when we served it and our guests raved about it. Will definitely order from Xando again in the future.“
“I never order brisket anywhere else because I know it won't be as good as Heffer BBQ's.I dream of their crunch wrap, burger, and smoked cheesecake. Don't skip the Kale salad... yes, I said the Kale salad. It's garlicky and delicious.Order anything. You won't be disappointed.They are located inside of The Plant, in the brewery. You order at the kiosk and find a seat/get a pager to grab the food when your order is up.There weren't any high chairs or booster seats, probably because it's in a brewery. I brought my own, and it was fine. It didn't feel inappropriate to have a kid (11 months old) there. He enjoyed the food, too!Wheelchair accessibility: There's an accessible ramp to get upstairs/ to the brewery.“
“Very fairly priced hotdogs, polish, burgers and more. There is a nice drink choice with import, domestic, and local area favorites. You have multiple burger choices. There is a wondering, fish and chips, and other choices. Service was stellar. On a Saturday night the restaurant was full. Parking is a little challenging, but does rotate spaces in a timely manner.“
“Honestly better food than I was expecting for a neighborhood bar and would come back for the fries and sliders!We ordered boneless jerk wings which were solid and hot, blue burger with bacon was pretty good but there are definitely better burgers in the neighborhood, bison slider was very good would get like 3 of these as a meal!Plenty of servers and bar staff to take care of us in a timely manner. We did have to ask for water and silverware...which should probably just be brought out when you order food. But again nothing took too long to get.It was a pretty quiet Sunday night when we visited, 2-3 other tables and 1-2 people at the bar. Plenty of TVs to watch sports.“
“This was by far one of the best brunches I've experienced in Chicago! Our server was exceptional and attentive and gave such great suggestions, and the food was beyond words. If the Fora french toast is on the menu...GET. IT. IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!! How do they make it crispy and fluffy and magical??? Also...the yogurt parfait....my GOD. How do you make a yogurt parfait taste that good??!! Anyway...it was all beautiful. The music was amazing from the DJ and the ambiance and atmosphere was on point. DEFINITELY going back!“
“My go to place for Hot Dogs in the area. For the price and quality this hits the spot. I have tried the beef which is very good and the burgers are pretty good but I always seem to fall back on the Hot Dogs. Service is great and the customers seem to be regulars there (older crowd) since this place has been around for a while.“
“In the area found myself here and I'm glad I did. Ordered a double cheeseburger ? this was made perfectly. I mean like a real homemade burger with grilled onion, cheese, and two well-seasoned burger patties. 9.3. The burger came out hot n fresh plus the cheese melted making this a messy, gooey, rich burger. It's cash-only here thou, but for me, this place is a gem probably in my top 10 for burgers in the city.“
“Wonderful low-key place with great food and even better service! The chicken and Chicago dog did not disappoint and the prices can't be beat. Just make sure to bring cash as it's cash-only. The couple that owns/operates it is seriously the sweetest!“
“While in Chicago recently my family and I dined in for breakfast!! We had a wonderful experience with such kind and friendly staff! We were in a rush to leave for an event and I absentmindedly left my bag hanging on the back of my chair! After about 2 hours I panicked and realized it was gone and instantly knows I left it on my chair! We rushed back hoping that a kind and Good Samaritan turned it in! It turns out the staff that day found it and kept it safely in the back hoping I would return!! I was so thankful we chose to eat here this day!! Food was great and the staff was even more amazing!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!“
“Decided to try breakfast here after dropping my car off at a nearby auto shop. I tried the pancake, sausage,bacon and eggs special. The waitress was helpful. Food was ok to me. Prices were reasonable. Parking adequate on the side of the building. I'll maybe give it another try.“
“The best burgers ever. The quality of the beef just melts in your mouth. A cheese burger with a bottle of Joe Tea is the best lunch you’ll ever have! Their other sandwiches are equally great! If you come to the area for a Daytime Sox game, come early and have a lunch at Kathy D’s. Park your car in an approved space at the ball park, and then take a nice 15 minute walk to Kathy D’s through a nice clean residential area. You will not regret it!“
“Honestly some of their pictures do not do them justice, I thought the pictures on google were up close because the portion sizes were small but thats not the case at all. They are very fairly priced and their portions will leave you full. This was my first time in there and I tried their crispy chicken sandwich, it was easily one of the best in the area!“
“I love their Gyros. I just wanted to say that I think it is insane that they have no menus at their place to take home with you. That is a great way to get continued customers. Also they only stay open until 9 pm. Many people get hungry for fast food later than that. Oh well, I think they lose business by doing those 2 things.“
“This is a great place for some delicious tacos. They do an interesting thing where they put a slice of cheese between the two layers of tortilla on their tacos, making it almost like a quesadilla. This place is constantly busy and open late — a testament to how good the food is.“
“Look the food here is great. I had the grilled chicken sandwich, the steak bites, tater tots, and my wife had the shrimp basket with the corn. Everything was delicious. The bartender was awesome. The vibe was great. PLEASE GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY!!! They have 1/2 off well drinks during happy hour and boy did I leave happy!!“
“I found this restaurant on Restaurant.Com and have been wanting to check it out for years! I met a friend and we tried perogies and split a chicken sandwich. Both were delish. My son ordered the garlic burger and fries to go and said it was really good. While we waited for to go order, we had apple and cinnamon cheese blintz with a mixed scoop of fresh ice cream. I was stuffed! The staff was great and I will be back!!“
“This is my go to spot right off the highway when I forget to make food or don't have enough time to make food for lunch.I usually go for the 2 hot dog special, Chicago style. I have never been disappointed with the food, and they're probably some of the better hot dogs around.The guys working behind the counter are friendly and welcoming.If I'm running late I will call the order in, and it's always ready waiting for me when I get there.Overall it's a good place to go to, and I will continue to go there in the future when I don't have time to make food.“
“Food was good but we drove a long way to eat there their seating inside is. Very limited. They had only like 10 tables for 2 that was disappointing and then their ice machine was broken for drinks. We did get one table in one room and the other couple we were with was in the other room.“
“I come to this portillos every weekend and the food is consistently amazing! Always hot and fresh! But the real reason I'm reviewing is because the staff is so nice and amazing! Special thanks to Lalo in the drive through for always being so kind and cheerful!!!“
“My husband and I ate here. The burgers and fries were good. The onion rings were delicious. It was right around the corner from where we were at for the day..so convenient location.They have a variety of shake options, coke, sprite, and water.“
“I ordered the Brisket Pizza and it was amazing, down to the drizzle of BBQ sauce on top! It was cheesy and the brisket was perfectly seasoned. The portion size was so generous that my family and I were able to have leftovers. The Service was excellent; the staff was very friendly and made sure my order was hot even though I was late picking it up. I can't wait to go back and try the other menu items!“
“Big delicious calzones with good sauce, good cheese, good meat (pause) and plenty of other options to choose from at decent prices. The chili cheese fries are incredible. Definitely recommend Grassano’s it’s five stars just order ahead because sometimes they get busy.“
“Updated review 4/16/2024:My previous review was a 1 star review based on unprofessional management. So far since then I haven't seen much hostility toward the employees unless it's from impatient customers who struggle to comprehend that they're not the only people waiting.Anyways, I've received exceptional service lately. Mainly from a very kind tall man with a beard and slightly longer hair. I wish I would've asked for his name.There's also another taller man who has a little stubble and glasses, he always greets me and calls me sir, which is cool because I'm actually transgender and I get a confidence boost each time I see him. Thank you. :)The food has improved as well, and their speed is top notch. I will admit Friday night was very busy BUT the employees handled it very well and professionally.Thank you for your hard work, guys. Anyone who says "fast food isn't hard work" is SO wrong. It's a very stressful environment and it's clear you have amazing employees who work extremely hard to keep the quality high and the wait time low. :)“
“My hat's off to the staff who works here. They made my visit fun. I'm from Des Moines, IA and I miss my White Castle sliders... I developed a love for them when I was stationed on the East coast. I couldn't be in Chicago and not hit up a White Castle. The night before we left Chicago I found myself at this location and I left with a twelve pack of cheese sliders. You know what that means...? I left Chicago HAPPY. To all the folks who don't like White Castle... Who look down on them and the people who eat it... Who say it's just for the drunk crowd in the wee hours of the morning... You might understand when it's not an option for you anymore. Until then... Bless your little hearts.“
