“Firstly, they must have a new owner or chef. Their online menu is not offered, and they have a new menu.Don't be fooled by them being located in a hotel, the food was fantastic. I placed a to-go order and it came out quickly and 100% accurate. It was delicious, hot, and well proportioned. The sauce on one of the honey bourbon chicken sandwiches was great.For a Friday night, the dine-in area was dead (and partially dark), but the staff was friendly and welcoming.I would definitely eat here again. I just hope they can stick around long enough for a return visit.“
“Had an amazing lunch!!! Food selection is amazing. I wound up with the Tuna Poke Bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Our waitstaff was attentive to detail. I am not a big dessert person when I go out, but the Key Lime Pie was calling our names. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you for a great meal. We will be back very soon.“
“I had the pleasure of being served by Andriy, and I must say he is an exceptional bartender. His attention to detail and creativity in crafting cocktails is truly impressive. He creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making every visit to the bar a delightful experience. I highly recommend trying one of his signature drinks!“
“Chef! Don't ever take the short rib gnocchi off the menu! Great food and fresh pasta made daily , all served by a Fabulous wait staff! Many dedicated customers. Read these reviews! I didn't want to review because now it will be harder to get a table. They have an outdoor area in back when it's warmer.. so don't be deceived by it's size. Be sure to make a reservation! Enjoy a great dinner and drinks here and tip the staff well!Almost forgot...best calamari appetizer...Ever!Parking: Street parking not too bad. In the evening some surrounding businesses are closed. Besides, you'll probably want to walk off that cheesecake!“
“We had my daughter’s baby shower today and everything was amazing! Our servers Gregory and Kosta were great! They attended to all our needs. The room we had the shower in was set up beautifully! The food was delicious as everyone said it would be that had their events there. My family had recommended Kefi as so do I for your special events. Thank you to everyone at Kefi for making it a very Special day for us!!“
“Finally a place where we can get an amazing burger! OMGosh —— simply amazing! And then there was the Italian Beef and BLT that went by. ?? Well be back to try those! Kudos to the “chef” in the kitchen!So back to Nicks Tavern - my brothers and their friends used to come here and rave about it! Can’t believe it took me this long. Old world charm!! The bartender Noel was absolutely fantastic from the hello when we walked in until the moment we left! It felt like home here at Nick’s! And the regulars - oh the regulars! Yes! Loved it!!! And if we could give move than a 5 stars - we would! Go to Nick’s Tavern - you won’t be disappointed!!“
“Always enjoy your place ! Our go to when visiting our children and grandchildren in Lemont ! Food is always great and the service is top notch and super friendly! We don’t even consider stopping anywhere else because I would end up there getting my fav meatloaf dinner for the ride home anyway ?❤️❤️❤️Kid-friendliness: They treat my granddaughter like the the princess she is and they call you by name“
“Met my 3 girl cousins + spouses for the Holidays menu online was intriguing and did not disappoint! Our only mistake was going too early 11:00am. It be way better for dinner. The potato pancakes were hot and crispy. The stuffed cabbage had a tasty mushroom gravy. The goulash soup was piping hot. Hot borsch with dumplings was yummy. Service was good too. We will be back!“
“I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place is! Andrew was a wonderful server and very helpful. This place makes everything well. The burgers looked amazing. I selected a special of Garlic rigatoni and sausage. I also had the beet salad which was really, really good. This place is very comfy and the staff is fantastic from front of the house to back!“
“I would highly recommend fourteensixteen as it is by far the best restaurant in lagrange. The staff are amazing, the vibes are on point, and the location itself presents itself well. I got the pistachio covered lamb rack when I last went, and it was phenomenal. The dish held up well, the lamb was moist, and the sauces complimented the lamb perfectly. I also had the mango cheesecake, and I can still remember how perfect the cheesecake was. It was a perfect amount of cheesecake flavor to mango flavor. I would highly highly recommend this restaurant as I have yet to see a better one in the surrounding area.“
“Discovered this place while biking to catch the BNSF back to Chicago. Usually would bike past to hop on the train at Western Springs or LaGrange Road. But one day I stopped short and popped in here. Really impressed by the selection of beer, wine, and whiskey. Before the Derby, they had three different bottles of Blanton's Bourbon. I asked for a smell (it's not Jimmy John's, I know) and they obliged me without so much as a blink of the eye. Quite an impressive wine selection. They are serious about their libations and happy to share their knowledge. I really like this place. Good vibe and great drinks. Check it out. Not sure why some clown gave it two stars. But reading that review, it's the poster who is confused, not the establishment. Cheers!“
“The menu is rather limited and missing many staple dishes of Podhale - Baranina, Kwasnica, Oscypek, Smalec, Pstrag or Bryndza... Overall all not bad, but providing this is Chicagoland area with all the access to Polish foods, the culinary selections on your menu could be so much more specialized and refined.“
“They only serve lunch only during the weekdays (no dinner and no weekends). However it is the best lunch around! It's like your mom went in the kitchen and made it for you. Soups are made from scratch and they are delicious. The BLT on rye is outstanding. And if they have it, you have to try the potato salad. This is a bar with a Northwoods atmosphere that has affordable prices but there are some tables to sit at. They also have a Friday fish special.“
“I was a little disappointed in my fries that came with my delicious chicken tenders!! My husband was a little disappointed with the fish fry where the batter was very hard. 2 times out of the 4 times I've been to Grill 89 I got delicious crispy hot fries.“
“Stopped in with my sister (missed a bus had to wait) and I am so glad we did. We caught the last hour of Happy Hour and tried the wings... Amazing and the sauces served on the side is just a great idea. I was able to try them all. Not a bad one in the bunch. Will be back.“
“We had a great time here. The cocktail menu was different and has Indian touch to various standard American fare.Portions were good sized and spice levels are mild. We had to specify “spicy” to get spice level to a “normal” level.They have decent vegetarian choices. But I wish they had some creative choices for veg entrees too“
“Amazing sports bar! Eric was our “best” bartender with his amazing hospitality and continuous conversation. He was on top of his game with making sure we were taken care of. He truly cared about the conversations he had with us and his guests. The food was great quality and served appropriately. Only if all owners/bartenders could be like Eric, life would be great!“
“Local bar that we walked to to get a few drinks on st Patrick's day. The specials were nice but we ended up getting some Guinness and car bombs. I got to try malort for the first time (not really a fan) prices were fine. The bartender was friendly and attentive. Wasn't too crowded. Had video poker inside which is something I'm not used to due to not being from the Midwest. I'd swing by and get some drinks here again“
“One of our family favorite places to go. The food is always wonderful! Wait staff always kind and considerate and we love the atmosphere there. If you haven't tried the burgers you are missing out. I can never finish one and they make great left overs. Keep up with great job Country House!“
“I don't like to leave a review of a place I've been to only once. Needless to say, I have been to The Works Tavern a few times and it's some of the best food in Chicago, especially on the south side. Mike is a culinary expert and my last visit proved it. I legitimately had the best Philly Cheesesteak I've ever had. The steak was juicy, the bread was soft and the cheese was super cheesy (10/10).The food is always fresh, the beer is always cold and my kids love the pizza! On our last visit, we ordered the fried zucchini, a pepperoni pizza, wings, and the Philly cheesesteak. Everything was delicious and we washed it down with $3 Pacifico beers. Can't beat that.“
“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!!Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“
“Just discovered Fast Eddys Pizza and their pizza blew me away!? From the first bite to the last, it was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. From the crispy yet chewy crust to the burst of flavors in every bite, their commitment to quality shines through. Friendly service and fast delivery made the experience even better. Can't wait to order again!“
“The food at Saban's can't be beat. We had the pork chops. They were cooked to perfection, delicious, beautiful presentation, plentiful amounts enough for another meal. The service was great. And the prices are like going back in time. I seriously don't know why anyone would want to eat any place else.“
“I love this bar so much I started coming here with my friend Liz who works here and it's such a good vibe. No drama good music good drinks and amazing people. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BAR come down to tio Juan's for a good time and events“
“I'll be honest with you--I did not want to write this review. I want to keep the Friendly Tap Community a secret. You won't find any place like it. They've got a bar, a coffee shop, live music, open mic night, music lessons, an 80s arcade machine with multiple games, snacks and pizza, and a gallery for shows and other events. Go there often enough and your name will be learned not only by the super-friendly staff, but by other patrons as well. Friendly's lives up to its name well beyond what you may expect. If you can only come here once, come on a Thursday night. There's almost always live music on Thursdays--see my video for an example. If you do go on a Thursday, ask for me so I can welcome you personally. ?Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome anytime but you probably want to keep younger ones during the daytime hours. It can get loud in the evenings. There are games and seating in the room next to the bar but it may be occupied by a band or party at night.Wheelchair accessibility: The front door floors are fairly level with the external ground. It may be easier to enter through the coffee shop as the bar area has stools to navigate in a wheel chair.“
“An excellent restaurant for comfy Italian food (with some neighborhood fares, such as burgers and sliders). Menu is stacked mostly with approachable and familiar items, and service is friendly and attentive. It is not cheap, but appropriate for the quality of food and service.“
“I came to this place with my wife because we enjoy having a few cheap drinks and trying our luck with the slots. Fortunately I won $75 from a $20, would have been the $120 but I pushed my luck. Nevertheless Windsor Café had great friendly service, cheap drinks, and a clean & sanitary establishment for people to kick back and have a great time!“
“First time hereFood was excellent ??highly recommend ?We stayed for a few drinks and played the slots.. ? ?didn't win but had funI would definitely go back for the food?I Got the Italian beef it was one of the best I ever had ?I love the fact that they pay tribute to the local high school??(I also went to that high school? )Also I'd like to point out the restrooms, when I say they were the nicest and cleanest restrooms I have EVER been in in a tavern I promise you they were!Definitely a local barHad a good timeSorry no photos the food looked so good and I was starving so we dug right in but it was great!Additional parking in back“
“We were seated at a booth in the bar area. It was comfortable but the noise level was a bit elevated. Would have preferred being seated in the dining room. Our server was attentive and courteous. Both of our cocktails were incorrect, but the bar order was rectified. Food was tasty and ample. The cioppino was way too spicy (hot). Chef went overboard on the red pepper flakes. Overall, a pleasant dining experience and we would recommend Devon to others.“
“Truly cannot say enough great things about Lucca & their staff. We love popping in for dinner, so much so, we chose to host my sister’s wedding shower here last weekend. From the initial planning with Sonia to the day of, we were blown away by the food, service and care we received. There is very little needed in terms of decoration [the space is beautiful as-is] and Sonia and her team did a wonderful job keeping everything running smoothly and on time. We even ended up needing to push our first course back by at least 15 minutes and they still didn’t skip a beat. Nothing felt rushed, behind schedule or off beat in any way. The entire staff was very gracious & accommodating.Did I mention the food? Everyone is still talking about it!10/10 recommend for any event. Quality, care, professionalism and service all remain top notch!Kid-friendliness: We had children at our event who enjoyed everything just as much as we did.“
“This is not your typical ‘bar food’. Everything we have tried there is higher quality Restaurant Food. Bartenders … especially Artie and Kristy are attentive, efficient and fun ! The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.“
“This is one of my favorite spots on the Madison strip of bars. The staff are always friendly, and they have a solid beer list. Once, I was wearing a shirt from a brewery I had visited, and the owner asked me about it, stating that he is always trying to mix it up with his beer offerings. Would recommend!“
“Nadine was an amazing server! She was prompt and knowledgable about the establishment. Food was good, but nothing to rave about.Definitely would come again if someone wanted to meet here, but don't think it would be something I'd crave to come back on my own terms.“
“Tasty flavorful burger and some of the best fries I've had. Homemade, hot and crunchy right out of the fryer. Dinner with several drinks for two was like $50, so very affordable. I will be back and can't wait for warm weather to try out the beer garden.“
“Always easy-going bartenders with lots of local craft beers on tap, plus a good selection of bottle and cans. Ciders and NA beers as well. Bartenders will give you a taster before you buy a 5 or 12 oz pour. Customers friendly too, sit right at the bar or outside at tables under umbrellas and strike up a conversation. Board games are available inside. Seen beer drinking parents bring their little kids sometimes. You can bring your well-mannered dog inside too.“
“Really nice place for grabbing dinner and a few beers! Exceptional craft selection outshines any other local bar in that department! Can get a little cramped in there some of the busy nights though! The staff are all awesome! Chill low drama no bs kinda place!“
“Ordered the pasta special on Monday night, mostaccoli with meatballs - what a delight! Soda, salad and bread included - Good portions, Great value. Liz served us and was a delight! Wonderful start to the new week - can't wait to come back!“
“It was my first time there ,I'm not a drinker at all but the Bartender Hazel was awesome very patient with me as I tried a few different drinks and had fun.......I was there with my niece and nephew and friends .....thanks for a good time“

“Came into bar Louie last night after a work event and I have to say some of the best service for a handling such a large group last night. It Just one server (Jacob) he took care of all us and still tried get to know us and have fun, it was overall great experience and will be back.“
“Very nice clean bar, love the warm welcoming feel and drink options. They have open mic every third Friday of the month. We really enjoy this neighborhood bar. Great bar service. Great staff, Daren and Neda are fantastic! They also have pizza from Waterworks! They have gaming machines, I like to play a few and have been lucky!If your a Bloody Mary drinker they make a good one.. ?“
“Came here with a large group of 20 for dinner on a Friday night, but everyone was so accommodating and the experience was seamless. We did family style and everyone had more than enough food. Our servers were amazing also. I was so impressed and I will definitely be back for birthdays or large parties in the future.“
“Another excellent German meal tonight! Schnitzel Platz has a great friendly staff and a warm welcoming atmosphere. We had great German beer, sausage platter, potato pancakes, Weiner schnitzel, red cabbage, and home fries. We will be back soon and would recommend to anyone to some here in Glendale Heights for a great German.meal.“
“Went for happy hour and I liked all the things we tried. Pizza, calamari, nachos... All really good. Happy hour is a good deal.Service was good enough. Took off a star because I had to hunt the waitress down multiple times for water refill.“
“Lunar Brewing Company is located in suburban Villa Park. My love and I would normally not be anywhere near Villa Park, but we tagged along with our friends for an eats-and-drinks excursion in the 'burbs earlier this summer. We stopped in for some drinks here, and there is an extensive list of beverages to choose from. The interior is plastered with all sorts of beer memorabilia and other random fun things. Check out Lunar Brewing for easygoing good times if you are in the area.“
“Very cool.. drinks were excellent, so were the nachos!! Service was very good, especially since the girl was handling the bar and the tables with a lot of patience and ease. The reason for not giving 5 stars... prices were slightly more than what was on board and menu. Make sure you pay attention to tip, it's automatically added for 4 or more. Will be back.“
“The outside looks unordinary but once inside youll see a quaint little pub with lots of charm. I'm always in search of the perfect Guinness and this spot almost had it. They almost poured Guinness the correct way but they tend to rush it and over filled and spilled. It was also fairly pricey for a pint of Guinness. Give it a shot if you're in the area.“
“This is a nice restaurant. Little out dated on the decor and the windows are very drafty during the winter time, air pours in them so you don't want to sit next to them if you want to stay warm. But they have really good soup. I had stuffed pepper soup and it was very yummy. Wish I got a whole bowl instead of a cup. The waitress was very friendly.“
“From the moment you walk in your greeted with a big smile and heartfelt welcome. It really sets the tone for a great dining experience. On top of the amazing service the food is amazing. Had the stuffed calamari and Veal Marsala. Will definitely be coming back more often.“
“We went tonight for dinner and were shocked!As regular customers we were surprised by the UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT sign. We were also told NO ALCOHOL.Jose you and your family will be missed. We are saddened that we were unable to say ..you will be missed and your in our thoughts and prayers. We hope to see you again soon!Mike & Louise , your friends at the bar!“
