American Restaurants near Riverdale

“First time at this location, standing in line waiting for the girl to wait on me, two people come in after she decides to wait on them, I said to her, I was here before they were and why did you wait on them, her response was, they were picking up take out, I said I don't care, they have to wait just like I did...she got flipped at the mouth, talking loud, I said, You don't speak disrespectful, I didn't talk that way.....she got mad and walked out....the manager took my order and apologize.....Not only was she rude, she wore a hoodie, piercing all around her mouth and lips(unprofessional).....will not be going back☹️☹️“

“Visited with my dinner group, we go to a different restaurant every 6 weeks. Food is very good. I love the Chicken Francese. Service was slow.. several in my group did not like their dishes. One person liked the pork chops. Drinks were delicious. Atmosphere is very very nice especially for being in a strip mall. You don't expect to walk into a beautiful space.“

“Darrin at calumet city is an awesome nice guy. He’s so polite & always put a smile on everyone’s faces. He makes this restaurant feel like you’re at home, eating some good food & sharing good laughs. I highly recommend you guys to try this place out.“

“I've been going to Lassen's for over 10 years now and appreciate the food, the service and the overall care shown to no only customers but also to the staff from what I can see.. It is always a great food and a good welcoming time.“

“Country House is always enjoyable. Friendly staff, good food, always consistent. French Onion soup is wonderful! Portions good size, lots to choose from.Dietary restrictions: They will do their best to meet your needs! Gluten free options as well.“

“The owner/cook was a delight to chat with.I had a Cuban sandwich and my company had a Wicked Burger... We were both sucking our fingers...The sweet potato and truffle fries were also great and there's this lemon aioli that will have you scraping the condiment container.We'll absolutely be back!“

“Went in for a slice of pizza our server Andrea thn also reffered us to the wings both were very good and well made . Andreas service was very good. Checked everything over making sure everything we ordered was there. And also made us feel welcomed. Very well recommended. And will come back again.“

“You must try the vegan pizza. The worst part of becoming vegan was giving up cheese. I've tried vegan pizza at many places and did not like any of them until trying the vegan pizza at Soul Veg City. They also sale it by the slice. My favorite slices are the veggie, the plain cheese and the jalapeño and olive.“

“We have such a fun time here. Boxston our waiter was superb. If you love cocktails, the flights are a must! Food was awesome!“

“Martina, the owner, takes a lot of pride in her business. The service is top notch and the pizzas we ordered, both stuffed and thin crust, are the best we've had. The Italian sausage is made on site and is incredible. The atmosphere is fun; quite like a classic pub.“

“I love coming here, the people are so nice. The food is made with good quality, fresh ingredients. I just recently ordered the Pilich Salad, and it was wonderful. Chicken and bacon cooked perfectly. I'm drooling, still thinking about that house dressing. Mmmm, I'll be back.“

“Very pleased with decor n food. We will b back“

“This place is great, affordable and the food was delicious. Our waitress was very kind and served us well. Our Daughter enjoyed her mottsacholli "she calls it" My chicken salad was very good and my wife enjoyed her breakfast skillet. Can't wait for the next rain day so we can come back!Kid-friendliness: Our server was very kind“

“The sweet sixteen is a must have!!!!!“

“First timer as of yesterday . Food was really good I had the 3 meat fajita bowl (dine-in) food was cooked to order. Fresh and hot when served. The cook and cashier were polite and friendly. Dont get that anymore from other restaurants .The place was nice and clean really don't see that at most places . Will come back to try other items on the menu and will tell everyone when in town .Small family business ready to grow it's 2024 people prices are going up stop being cheap when you order out. Bet you don't even tip. All they need to do is get a bigger sign outside for drivers to see from afar.“

“Friendly service, good food“

“Ordered a small thin crust from uber eats juss being lazy & not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Pizza sauce is very tasty, wish I had ordered it on the side for dipping my pizza in. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and it was cooked Just how I like it. I will definitely order from here again. The only thing I didn't like was that my pizza wasn't sealed in any type of way to prevent it from being tampered with while it was being delivered. Maybe perhaps some stickers to prevent the box from being open, or put the pizza in a paper bag then staple it up at the end. Otherwise very good pizza.“

“The fish and food is soooo good! I live in Atlanta but was able to pull up when I was in Chicago last year. I love that they are opened late for those late night cravings. They only had one woman taking orders and she was working like an ox all with the best attitude! She definitely could have used some help. Nevertheless, it was a good experience and I can't wait to go back!“

“Food was amazing, can’t wait to go again“

“I loved my meal so much that I had to immediately sit down and write this place a review. I had the crispy steak crispy mix with fries and and drink, and it was worth every single penny. It was around $15, which, when places like McDonald's want $13 for a Big Mac meal, there's really no point in NOT paying the extra $2 for something that tastes this amazing. The person (i'm assuming owner) who took my order was kind and friendly, I felt welcome. You'd be surprised how many places fail at that. The flavors and aroma coming from my food were out of this world, and I won't be forgetting this place anytime soon. They really offer that Chicago flavor and menu right here in Oak Forest.“

“De Mar's in Blue Island, IL is a must-visit for anyone in the mood for classic American diner fare. The restaurant has a cozy, old-school feel that instantly transports you to a simpler time. Every time I sit down in a booth it makes me feel like i can talk about nothing, (a Seinfeld reference). The menu is full of classic diner dishes, from hearty breakfast options to juicy burgers and sandwiches to homemade soups and salads. I particularly enjoyed the Tuna melt, which was perfectly put together with just the right amount of cheese and tune on white bread. The French toast was also excellent, with a soft and fluffy texture that melted in my mouth. But if you want the traditional, just order the all American breakfast, 2 sunny side up eggs with hash browns and two slices of bread, along with a cup of coffee. Everything is delicious. The staff at De Mar's are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They were quick to offer suggestions on what to order and were always on hand to refill drinks or answer any questions. The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. There is plenty of seating, so you won't have to wait long to be seated, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend De Mar's to anyone looking for a traditional American diner experience. So if you are in the area of Blue Island this restaurant It's a gem, that I plan on returning to in the future.“

“Absolutely fantastic food and great service! We will definitely be coming back! Their ribs are the best! Between the rest of my family I also sampled their pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and fries. It was all great. Can’t wait to try everything else on their menu.“

“Best bang for your buck. Delicious, fresh, great variety of food. Exemplary service.“

“We eat here weekly. The pizza is the best in the Southland. The bar has a "Cheers" vibe where all are welcome. Pizza is half off on Tuesday and every one in town knows that's the best dinner option! Don't take my word for it, you really must try it out!“

“Great experience, I will return.“

“BEST shrimp in town, state, country, actually, quite possibly,, the best shrimp on the planet!! Bob's Lake Perch are off the chain as well!!....And you know this.........the sauce, mild and hot is the perfect compliment. Only complaint I have is,.....after trying Bob's, you won't want anyone else's shrimp, not even close. Don't ever change a thing!!!.....Thank you all, from a loyal Mill Electrician,....Trucker Jon, of I.B.E.W. local 697.“

“Horse Thief impressed me with its outstanding service and flavorful chicken salad. From warm greetings to attentive staff, every moment was enjoyable. The chicken salad was perfectly cooked and paired with fresh ingredients. A must-visit for anyone in the area! Beverly staple! Best in the neighborhood.“

“One of the all time best in Chicago and knowing the owner is big on my list“

“Great food. Fine Beverages. And live music too!….“

“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!“

“The food n drinks are good the ambiance is amazing“

“My Sister and I decided to try this new restaurant in our neighborhood. We decided to walk today (Tuesday) to the restaurant. We get there and was greeted by the owner Felicia like we have known her for years. Beautiful spirit. So many options I had a veggie omelette my sister had the breakfast biscuit sandwich with turkey sausage The hash browns OMG. Everything was amazing had me trying the breakfast wrap which was delicious. I will be back. Thank You Felicia for your kindness“

“Enjoyed the dining experience and great staff!“

“love the atmosphere and the food and staff are good to.“

“Really a hidden gem. Everything is excellent. Limited hours and limited days open are really the only downside here. I'd recommend making a reservation in advance, but they are very accommodating if they have room. Good value for the service and quality, but not "cheap". Had the surf and turf this time, and the lobster was great. Something on the menu for everyone.“

“Chris was a fantastic server.. He was absolutely phenomenal on the ball and had a great spirit about him .. the food is amazing.. Thanks Chris for making us feel like family.“

“Great food, Great atmosphere.“

“I absolutely love this local gem. The food is always great and the service doesn't disappoint either. My family and I always choose Grady's when we are dining out for breakfast! They even have great drink specials throughout the week too. Get over there today!“

“Our server this evening was absolutely wonderful! She was the only bartender and waitresses. She was a Rockstar! Not only did she provide great service to us. She was amazing with all the other guests. She had a full bar and about 8 tables. We had a wonderful evening!“

“We typically love it here. However, we had an easily avoidable issue yesterday. The app only allows the "call ahead" for up to 6. We had a party of 12. So, we called the location to ask if they could accommodate a party of 12. We kept getting placed on hold by 3 different employees only to be told they can't give a time estimate until we are physically there (15+minutes btw of employee after employee). Okay, we pack up and head there. After arriving we are told they can't even sit the 12 of us together and it's a 1.5 hour wait. What a WASTE of OUR time. I understand the wait is based on the customer traffic. But if you guys know you can't sit 12 together, TELL US OVER THE DAM PHONE!!!!!!“

“This is my favorite place to eat , great prices , they have items on the menu that u can’t get anywhere else like the pork tenderloin dinner , it’s huge, double pork chop dinner around 20 bucks take you all day to eat it . Cowboy ribeye on the weekends is great ! I think I’ve been there like 25 times , staff is nice , owners are good people , they treat me like a regular“

“La Cocina Jaliscience is a great place to visit for a casual bite to eat. It's very informal but that's not a detractor. I always love their tacos and cheese quesadillas, and the burritos are very good as well. My wife tried the flautas this time and said they were good as well. My only comment is that I don't prefer their method for serving salsa with the delicious chips because it comes in what I can best describe as breakfast restaurant tabletop syrup pourers and I've always found it to be messy and also strange and invariably amongst whoever accompanies me to dine-in here the conversation always involves a laugh/bewilderment about the condiments being served in syrup jars.“

“Excellent food and service. Patio is very nice. We will be back“

“This place is truly amazing! The atmosphere is simply incredible because they care about you and that new chef is unreal! The thing I like is they make the experience personal. The new kitchen staff is cooking some of the best food I ever had. I take my staff there on Fridays. I highly recommend this place.“

“I recently went to Richway Gyros after having a terrible experience at another hotdog place down the road in Chicago. So glad I found this place. The food is delicious and the customer service is awesome! Kudos to the staff. They know how to treat customers with respect! The prices are reasonable. What’s even better is that the offer a rewards program. I will definitely be back!“

“A friend brought me here for the first time, specifically for the pot roast dishes. I had the Flatbread and it is delicious! It is a bar, and has limited space, but for 2 of us at lunchtime we had the whole back room that was quiet. Cici was super nice and attentive. We very much enjoyed our visit.“

“My co-workers and I stopped by this establishment today for lunch. Walked in to some really nice decor! Very clean also! Lunch time menu doesn't have a lot of options but the choice were definitely good ones! I went with the chicken tips! When I tell you this was the best bbq I've ever tasted! The chicken was seasoned so good! Some places put all the flavor into the sauce and forget to season the meat but not the Woodlawn! I was truly impressed! Cashier was very polite and food came out hot and in a timely fashion! There's also an amazing smoothie shop inside!“

“Such an amazing time we had! Excellent food and service! Glad to have this gem in Flossmoor.“

“I did a pick up order from here and the food was pretty tasty! I ordered a smoked skillet and it was really tasty and my cousin had the Gypsy skillet. The service was fairly quick I ordered and picked up with 20 minutes. The inside is really nice, I will definitely be revisiting to sit down and order more food“
