“Gluten free waffles and pancakes ARE available and an absolute revelation! Hallelujah! The blueberry lemon cheesecake waffles were INSANE, no maple syrup needed.Claudia was a great hostess and server. Even when she is busy she's attentive and kind.Great Julius Meinl coffee ☕?My only note, and the only ⭐ I withheld, would be that our steak skillet had barely any meat in it and was mostly large chunks of potatoes and cheese (fine, but we're here for the full melange). If we're going to do hunks of potato, I personally prefer a small to medium dice, but hash browns are my top. Skillets are a staple and will be what brings people in over and over so that they can have the filling savory meal while they share your delicious waffles. Of course my experience is mine alone.Menu images for everyone to enjoy their amazing offerings!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free available!!“

“I lived in downtown Lemont for a while and watched Barrel & Vine being built. I've been going since they had a soft open. I absolutely LOVE their chimichurri fries, you need to try them. I now live out of state but stop in for dinner or lunch to meet up with family and friends when I'm in town. Everything I've had is delicious. Pub burger, charcuterie board, jambalaya, fries, short rib bolognese, and finally.. the salted caramel cookie skillet. Don't skip out on the crafted cocktails or dessert.If you haven't tried Barrel &Vine yet, you should. Don't miss out.Parking: Because the restaurant is located downtown, the parking is a little difficult on weekends. There is street parking, and a lot across the street. A block or two away is a free parking garage.“

“We were warmly greeted by Chelsea when we arrived. We were seated at a cozy table toward the back of the restaurant. Frank Sinatra music was playing in the background. Our waitress Melissa brought us water to the table with the days specials. There is a good wine & cocktail selection. We started with the shrimp & calamari along with truffle fries for an appetizer. The shrimp & calamari were cooked perfectly while seasoned with the right amount of oil and garlic. The truffle fries garlic aoli sauce was very good, not overpowering. For dinner, we had chicken parmesan served with penne pasta as the side. The portion size was big. The chicken was cooked well, not overloaded with sauce and the right amount of cheese. The other dish order was the risotto of the day, shrimp & grape tomato. Highly recommend the risotto. It was cooked perfectly with big delicious shrimp mixed in with the risotto. As delicious as it was, room was being saved for dessert. Not many restaurants serve flourless chocolate cake, but Frankie's 1988 does. It is served with a carmel sauce, pecans, and vanilla gelato. I have had many flourless chocolate cakes in my life, and none compare to the one made at Frankie's. It is dense, almost like dark chocolate fudge that just melts in your mouth. They also have canolis, tirimisu, and an assortment of gelato. The staff was so nice, checking on us throughout our dinner, ensuring we were never out of water. Frankie introduced himself to us as we were leaving. We had to tell him how amazing the risotto was today. Frankie said that their kitchen is a scratch kitchen and will gladly make items not on the menu if the kitchen has the ingredients. Frankie's 1988 is a 5 Star restaurant nestled in a strip mall in Tinley Park.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten-free and vegetarian options are available.“

“Sat down to relax and drink a delicious draft beer, proceeded to drop my cell phone and when I went to retrieve it found a SPOTLESS floor! I'm talking pristine! You could eat off this floor! Just another great feature if this already wonderful place.“
“Love this place. The drinks are delicious and the live music is a great addition. I enjoyed my time at this small bar.I recommend the Smoked Maple Bacon Old Fashion and the Pomegranate Holiday Mule.Parking: There is street parking and a large parking lotbehind the Embers bar... across from the train tracks.“
“Great bottle shop with a bar that's conveniently located in a strip mall near 355 and down the street from the downtown area. Excellent draft selection and cocktails, you will always find something that you like.Stopped in to celebrate 2 years of being open! Sleepy Bear was delicious.“

“We came in on Valentines Day.and were floored by the service and martinis/wine/old fashion. The Martinis were above and beyond what you could find anywhere. The staff as a whole was attentive and treated us like family/regulars. I am very critical, too much, and we will be back here for sure. Thank you to the staff and libations!!!“

“The Wooden Paddle offers excellent service. Our server Gianna was anttentive annd knew exactly when we were in need. Even on weekdays, it's advisable to make reservations. The tasting menu is a delight, leaving you impressed and able to try many items. Their wood-fired pizzas are truly incredible. A definite must-visit; can't wait to return for another delightful experience.“

“What a great addition to Lemont! We have been meaning to come here for a while, and now that we finally have we will be making it a point to come more often!The Qlamari were a delicious starter - very fresh and tender, with two delicious sauces. One was creamy green sauce, tasted like a spicy jalapeno coconut curry, the other was a sweet chili sauce.The entree's were a nice spin on traditional dishes. They had a good depth of flavor and had the traditional flavor while tasting elevated. I have never tried the fried rice noodles , I loved the crunch they added to the Lad Nar. The Pepper steak was delicious too.We are excited to try some more of our traditional thai favorites like drunken noodles, pad woon sen, etc the next time and see what kind of delicious spin they put on them!Also - at first I was surprised that they chose the strip mall on State as their location, but the interior is actually beautiful, cozy, and delightfully understated. I also appreciate that I didn't have to search for parking and I could easily order takeout here as well. Make this your next meal out - you won't be disappointed!!“
“I did like the hotel. Very nice lobby and nice and helpful staff. Very close to shopping and restaurants. The only thing I didn’t like was the bed was very hard. If you like firm and hard bed then this place will work for you! We did not stay for breakfast but it is available. They pointed out a pool and jacuzzi but didn’t use that either.“

“Loads of options on an attractive menu. Restaurant has a fun vibe with great tiles and flowers hanging from the bar. We went with another couple and ordered drinks that were all well done – we love the chips and homemade roasted tomato salsa that they brought to our table. We then shared the guacamole which was a generous serving and very fresh, I had ceviche with shrimp that was a generous mound served with avocados on top and it was delicious. The service – although they were trying really hard – was slow and very spotty. We ordered drinks and only three of the drinks came and about 10 minutes later the fourth drink came. All our meals came together except for my husbands which came about 15 minutes later, which didn’t make for a smooth me out together. The portions were generous, and the food was fresh, and I would definitely go back. For a family place, the music was blaring and unnecessary, there are a few areas that they could improve on but the reason we went was the food and it was fantastic.Parking: Loads of parking around the building at st the strip shopping center.“

“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.“

“Wife had spinach and egg fettuccine and said it lacked flavor. I had the veal piccata which was very good. I'd order that again for sure. We split a small Caesar salad which was very good as well. Excellent service and reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere.“

“Found this place recently while searching for somewhere different to go for dinner with my husband. We got there around 7:30 on a Saturday night and got seated right away. The place was decently crowded and they did have dueling pianos as live entertainment. The music was a lot of fun.We were seated away from the stage area so it wasn’t as loud so my husband and I could still hear each other talk.I got a lemon drop martini which was delicious. The bruschetta and meatball appetizer was good. We did enjoy the bruschetta more, the meatballs were ok but not amazing.For dinner I got a fried chicken sandwich, it says you can order it “Nashville hot”. I asked our waitress if it was really hot and she said yes, she offered to bring the sauce on the side. I’m so glad she did! It was good but it was very spicy so less is more with that. Chicken was super juicy. Fries unfortunately were lukewarm and tasted stale. It was busy enough I was surprised they were not fresh.We liked the vibe and will go back.“

“Overall we had a great experience. We had a large group and we had a few minor hiccups with our order but they quickly and happily fixed them with ease. I also enjoyed we were able to hear the conversations going on and it wasn't too loud for a nice meal with friends.“

“What a fabulous addition to Mokena!! We were greeted by a smiling hostess and had about a 15 min wait. The place was PACKED! So glad it’s doing well! We were seated in about 10 min. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the carne asada and a taco dinner. OMG SOOO GOOD! Chips and salsa were perfect and clearly freshly made. Food came out hot and delicious. Beans were ok, different than what I’m used to. Margaritas were amazing! This place is killin it!! It was our second time there. People complain about the prices but you’re not eating at Taco Bell or a fast food joint! This is all fresh! They are newly open and still working out some kinks. The hostess thanked us for our patience and for coming in. We will definitely be back! Welcome to Mokena!“
