“The Chew was an amazing restaurant! Not only was the food amazing but the owners, Linda and Landy, and the staff were spectacular! We miss it so much! Truly an icon in our community!”

“Love this place, and right down the street from me! The food is delicious! 😋 Just wish they opened a little earlier for breakfast!”

“Amazing staff! Small hidden gem. Atmosphere is amazing and the drinks are phenomenal. They have specials every day of the week. Amazing ?”

“Lovely atmosphere! Delicious ice cream! I had the blueberry sorbet (dairy free) and it was absolutely delicious! Kind helpful service!

I wish the dairy-free sorbet section was labeled as such. I had to ask to know which were sorbets. A sign of foods available for dietary restrictions was provided but the ice creams themselves were not labeled.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free”

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.”

“Had the empanadas today at the Dia de los Muertos event in Homewood. You guys need to advertise more because they’re fantastic and that chimichurri sauce is to die for! You should be a household name!”

“Grabbed lunch here with a friend today. Ordered the turkey club on a French roll; my friend got the chicken & cheese panini. My sandwich was delightful. Service was quick & staff appeared nice. My friend said it is a staple of Riverside & they visit often.”

“What can I say about SandTrap! They have daily specials, they’re kid friendly, The bartenders create tasty drinks, their Thursday night Karaoke Rocks, and their menu is priced for anyone’s pocket. If they have special events, it’s always nicely decorated and you control your own music! Try the shotski for 4 drinkers!! If it’s too low key for your party, ask the bartender to spice it up…pump up the volume! You will have a great time!! Go check them out!!! They are accommodating to their customers!”

“Amazing traditional Mexican food and drinks, friendly and professional staff!”

“Not sure why this place is not packed. Best tamales I’ve had. My first time here and Alex was so polite. Tamales came out quick, hot and extra yummy, had to order more to go.”

“A delivery app made a mistake with my order. LaBarra took charge and the general manager personally delivered 2 delicious pizzas to make up for the outside apps mistake. Above and beyond! Thank you!”

“I wish i could get a gallon of the sauce. sad that the portions of chicken have gotten smaller over the years, though! i remember when they first opened and the chicken tenders were massive. anyway, canes is addicting and i could eat it every day.

10/10 sauce, 9/10 bread, 8/10 chicken tenders, 7/10 fries. i don’t fw coleslaw, so i can’t give it a rating. lemonade was a bit bland.”

“The old people that used to come to this place are rolling over in their graves. The food is solid but its nothing compared to the old school bahamian food once served here.”

“Staff is always super friendly, food is always delicious. Inside the shop, where you can sit and eat, are cool photographs of Chicago from the early 1900s

Parking: It's right off ogden on Harlem so it's a little tricky getting in and out

Wheelchair accessibility: All on ground floor”

“For a restaurant in a Zoo, this place is impressive; especially the quality of the food. Got a cheeseburger and the crispy clucker - both hit the spot, and the fries were super fresh. Our friends got the roasted acorn squash pizza which was great - squash and brie on a pizza at a Zoo restaurant??? Nut - recommend after the dolphin show!”

“Tapsilog, tocilog, fried fish, halo halo.”

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕”

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!”

“Went here for a date night and it was excellent. The quality and quantity of food was appropriate for the price point and the food was excellent. Another highlight was the sake. They had a great selection that paired with the food and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall if you want a laid back omakase with quality food, go here”

“This place is the coolest bar I have been to in a long time, hip and fun but not pretentious. They paid attention to every detail when building and designing. The white marbel bar has clean lines and looks fresh. All of the hardware finishes look sharp and clean. The patio is large and inviting with a fire place and plenty of tables to sit at. The drink menu is creative and refreshing and the staff is kind and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this gem of a bar. I am excited to hang out this fall on the patio by the fireplace with good drink in My hand.”

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience”

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.”

“Amazing food and drinks, so many games to play off-the-shelf, and the staff members are super friendly. It's more than a Cafe, it feels like a cozy board game community that we just can't get enough of. Stay & Play is a great time, every time!”

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!”

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3”

“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.”
