“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!“
“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.“
“Came here for a private party event on a Sunday afternoon. Space is really nice and chair, tables and other seats were nice. They played good music and had two large t.v.s playing different games for people at the bar. The drinks were well made, but with so many people, they definitely needed more than just two people. But it was nice to have a small sitting area outside in the back as well.“
“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.“
“As always, enjoy the atmosphere, food and drinks. This is one our top favs of places to go. Especially love the flexible menu for different times of the year or holidays. Keeps things fresh and exciting. Look forward to be back and have an Old fashioned from Rue. ?“
“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.“
