“The first thing that I noticed about Amerikas was the super lively and bright ambiance. I went I on a Saturday night with my wife, so I wasn't surprised by all of the people dining and having a good time, and as I ate my dinner I definitely learned why. The decor is bright and fun. The walls are lined by mutuals, mostly yellow, with big splashes of color. I liked how then kept the lights on to keep the atmosphere bright and fun. The food was delicious too. My wife and ordered the pulpo, barbacoa, tacos (shrimp and pork shoulder), tostada de pescado, ceviche and the dragon fruit cheesecake for dessert. I enjoyed all of the dishes, my favorites were the barbacoa and the pulpo. The barbacoa was super flavorful and fell right off the bone, no knife was need. The pulpo was cooked to perfection and was tender and delicious. The risk with pulpo is that it can be chewy and tough, definitely not the case here. One note, the tostada for the tostada de pescado seem a bit too dry, but the flavor of fresh seafood made up for it. If you want a fun show with your food, order the ceviche, it comes out with a cool smoke effect. Overall, the service was fast and friendly, and the overall experience at the restaurant was enjoyable. While they don't have a parking lot, street parking is cheap (at least compared to Chicago) and plentiful. Amerikas is a must visit in Oak Park.“

“Got a drink here on Saturday night and there was more than enough space for us! I liked how we got to decide if we wanted to sit on the quiet side or the bar side. The signature mule was amazing and my partners drink was made exactly to his liking.“

“Facing a lengthy layover in Chicago, I sought refuge (and sustenance) at the iconic George's. Opting for a classic, I dove into their corned beef omelet – a revelation. Perfectly cooked and bursting with savory flavor, the tender corned beef was a textural and tastebud-pleasing counterpoint to the fluffy eggs. While the service was attentive, the true star of the show was this omelet, solidifying George's reputation as a Chicago brunch institution.“

“We've eaten at Cooper's Hawk a couple of times - the food is surprisingly good, like much better than I would've imagined for even a small chain. The wine is, of course, particularly good. I don't drink anymore but I loved their Zinfandel when I did, and we always get rave reviews when we gift a bottle of Cooper's Hawk wine.“

“The front of the house staff and the food envisioned by Chef Laura and well executed by the talented kitchen staff are outstanding. Simply outstanding.simple yet intesting eats. Whitney is beyond attentive to his guests' beverage interests. "George" Harrison, Jack and the under 21 staff are eager, respectful, and engaging. What a treasure in this neighborhood spot, with beyond just the nearby geographically located closeby fan base. Who's going to gift me with a card to Kettlestrings Tavern for Christmas? "8 days a week" left until December 25“

“I got a sausage and cheddar breakfast wrap today and it was great. Good food and it was packed full. Staff was friendly and actually other customers were friendly as well. The wrap was a good portion and worth what they charge for it. I work in the area and don't get in here nearly enough. I would suggest this location to others.“

“A friend had a taste for Denny's. We went. I hadn't been to one in years if not decades. I had food from the lunch menu. It was good. The value and quality was in alignment with the price. Service was a little off. Our original waitress left but didn't say anything to us. It was weird as we tipped a person that really did not do anything except provide the bill. I would imagine it is weird to end your shift while customers you served are still eating. I wished she would have said something as we could have ripped her before she left. Why do I worry about stuff like that - I appreciate ppl. Nevertheless, although Denny's wasn't on my list of places to go, I enjoyed it. Hopefully another decade won't pass before I go back. Thumbs up for Denny's Oak Park.“
