New American Restaurants near Bridgeview, IL

“I absolutely love this place. The portions are big and the flavor is even bigger. If your looking for amazing food with good pricing and large portions this is your spot. The only thing I can slightly complain about is service and the fact the waiter wasn't very happy and clearly expressed her emotional displeasure. I understand there was probably a personal reason behind this and everyone has bad days so im not going to hold that against her. The food the quality and basically everything else was so amazing I would still give this place a 10 star review even if it had the worst service ever.“

“This place is impeccable. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful. Dessert blew my mind. So inventive and fun! Highly recommend.“

“Had a great experience at Maxwells Trading for dinner this week before a show. The service was truly outstanding. The prosciutto and whipped ricotta dishes were excellent starters, and the mushroom rice was very tasty.
We will definitely be back and next time will save enough room for dessert.
(Also loved the fact that there was street parking available.)“

“Had our holiday celebration and had an extraordinary experience - great food and excellent service.“

“We had the best experience at Seasons 52 Our whole time there was wonderful and our server was so attentive to our table. The food was delish, appetizers were so yummy and we all had different entrees. My filet mignon was cooked perfect. We had a wonderful evening. Thank You, Renee“

“Had a great experience here twice while in Chicago for the National Restaurant Show. Once for brunch and once for dinner !! Let's start with brunch.. It was out of this world, staff was friendly and attentive, the hazy ipa was crisp and ice cold, then the tour of the menu kicked off and I was In foodie heaven! I warned the bar tenders I would need some Boxes as I was about to do a dining tour through the menu.. the anchovy toast was #insanegood, the pimento cheese eclair was out of this world, the oysters were fresh, the Benedict was crazy with boudin noir blood sausage crab hollandaise sauce on eclair style muffin! The French omelet with caviar was crazy good it was floating in an amazing sauce and the eggs were perfectly cooked and the caviar was the perfect garnish , the asparagus with poached egg with the sauces it was hanging out in were top notch .. The loyalist burger was fire and I am hard to please on burgers.. the details on everything were impressive all in a casual spot downstairs from the Michelin level concept the chef has !! To finish off the meal one of the best things I have ever had was the pistachio eclair !! WOW WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!! Came Back a few days later for dinner service and did the same thing started out ordering a stack of boxes so I could work my way thru the dinner menu !! The Spence farm egg with caviar app was amazing !! The French onion eclair was another genius chef creation with an eclair, the cod quenelles, the beef Tartare, and endive salad were on point in all the ways .. then came the mains .. ordered the ocean trout and the gnocchi dish as a side kick .. both of those were some of the best dishes I have had .. the skin was so crispy on the trout but not burnt like how did you get this so perfect .. secretes of the kitchen is how .. the preparation and plate up with the trout was nothing short of a perfect pairing and the gnocchi made another side kick but could have been an amazing entree .. then to finish it off the orange 🍊 glazed brioche dessert that was flambéd table side was the perfect ending to a 5 Stars all around memorable Dining experience !! When in Chicago this chef and team is a must try! I will for sure visit their Michelin level experience as this was Michelin level In A causal environment!!“

“Simply amazing! Every bite had a story. There’s an art to what they do here.“

“We had high hope for this place and it started out fine. However, everything fall apart in the two main courses. The pork cheek was so overwhelmingly salty, it ruined all the taste and memories from the previous dishes. And the Wagyu preparation was the worst in all the places we have had it. The evening starts with sweeter notes and to match it with wine pairing, they had to serve a Tokaji. And then again we were served a sweeter wine at the end with the desserts. This sweet, super salty and then sweet taste failed to set a theme for the courses. Beginning courses were beautifully plated. Overall, it did not reach the level of expectations. One a side note, the service was very good, however many times it felt robotic. Like in future, if you are served by robots, it will be like that. Two people will come, and synchronize to place and take you plates at the same time. The feel of awkwardness is there. The ambience was the best though.“

“We received magnificent 5 star service from Van-Lang Foods! Our delicious appetizers & decadent desserts were a huge hit at our Customer Appreciation Party! Vanessa from Van-Lang Foods made our appetizer and dessert tables so festive and fun! Thank you!“

“Went to the Chicago Waffle House in Willowbrook with friends today Had the best skillet-The Short Rib Skillet- Fantastic with Lavazza coffee not to mention great service. We’ll be back soon“

“Amazing food. Great atmosphere. What more can be said?“

“We dined at Topaz in August 2024 and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We were seated in a comfortable booth. A special mention goes to our server, Sasa, who was incredibly attentive and provided great suggestions. He even surprised us with complimentary limoncellos, which were absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we had the grilled octopus and hummus—both prepared to perfection and bursting with flavor. For the main course, we chose the Dover sole and Amish chicken. These dishes were exceptional and stood out as some of the best we've ever had. The potatoes served with the sole were also a delightful surprise. Portions were generous, and the prices were quite reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food. We highly recommend Topaz and will definitely be returning!“

“My husband Jack and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary tonight, and on a last minute whim he chose Bella Mia. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal, and I had to write this review immediately. The moment we walked in, we were greeted not only by the host and hostess, but also by several staff members and even guests at the bar. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, welcoming, and incredibly friendly. Pure class. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and perfectly accented with soft candlelight, making the evening feel special and intimate. We sat at the bar and were welcomed by Gina, the bartender, who was extremely attentive and genuinely kind, making us feel right at home. The food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The owner, Randy, came by to greet us and his personality was truly infectious. He had us laughing nonstop and made our night even more memorable. We also had the pleasure of sitting next to Marcy and Dick, regulars who have been coming since day one. Even though this was our very first visit, we felt like part of the Bella Mia family. From the staff to the clientele, the love and pride behind this place are undeniable. Bella Mia is truly one of a kind and deserves all the recognition it receives. We felt all the love and will absolutely be back again and again. Jessica O’Grady“

“The entire experience for me and my two sons, from valet parking with Eddie, pre-dinner cocktail, dinner and checkout were all A++. Can't remember the name of our server, but he was fantastic, courteous, knowledgeable regarding menu, great sense of humor and on top of every aspect of our dining experience. Food quality was excellent (I had traditional veal parm) and portions of food were enormous. We will definitely be back.“

“Friendly and helpful staff“

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“Thoughtful staff. Very fresh ingredients. Amazing flavors! I loved the Al Pastor taco with the contrast of savory meat and sweet pineapple. The chicken taco was good too. The Tortilla Soup was a SURPRISE favorite. A messy first time for a churro, flower, and toasted marshmallow hot coco. Everything tasted so flavorful. Prices were reasonable.“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

“The atmosphere is nice. The food and drinks are delicious and the service was on point.“

“Visiting from out of state and was googling places nearby that we could eat after we landed, and stumbled upon this place. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and unique, and our server was incredible. The music swaps between 80's, 2000's, all sorts of genres, which was greatly appreciated. Almost wished I lived here just so I could make this spot a regular of mine!“

“Thank you for help me Dr Zabaza #psychiczabaza“

“Very clean bar. Italian beef sandwich and Sicilian pizza was delicious. Bar staff seems to be very friendly. There is quite a lack of parking at this facility. There was only three people in the bar. Went on a Monday before 4th of July 2024.

I did hear they have karaoke on the weekend so hopefully I'll be able to check that out very soon.

If you have an opportunity I would definitely check out Cuzin's.“

“Good food with a verity of menu items to choose from. I had the fish toccos they were tasty. The order comes with 2 small toccos and a side. The portion sizes are a little on the small side. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. I would go back.“

“My Fraternity Brother Anthony Williams and partner Byron Diggs when not bringing great joy as a part of the Our Lady of Our Lady of Africa Parish, Chicago Eucharistic Ensemble have a great Cafe in Maywood right off of I 290. It is called Meal of the Day and has some great southern cuisine in an establishment on the 4th floor of a business complex overlooking I 290. It is appointed with some great art from notable black artists . There is also a banner from Hales Franciscan Class of 1979 , not sure what that’ s all about .. lol! They also do on site catering and have fed the masses after masses at their home church . Check them out ! My fraternity brother has been telling me for years to make the drive and wifey and I finally did and it was so worth it ! .“

“Food was very good. Our server was good. Great selection of adult beverages. Great look for a sports type bar. Only thing I can ding them on is how long it took to get food. I would visit again if I'm in the area. I do recommend you give it a try.“

“Great food, great service, a different game on each television“

“Hostess was rude from start to finish. Attitude about us canceling our dinner reservation to come for happy hour instead, even though we called and were told that was totally fine. Then that same person was at our table with a towel before we even stood up to leave. Couldn't wait for us to be gone! Our server was very sweet, so that made up for it. Food was fine. Bar food. Good deal.“

“I have never had a problem coming here and the food when I received it has always been good.“

“This spot is easily one of the best hotel bars around! The atmosphere is fantastic, but the real highlight was our bartender, Kelly. She was incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.
Highly recommended for a great drink and even better service“
