Great job!!!!“

“Me and my coworker went here after a long trip coming to Chicago. Bartender found out we were from out of town and introduced us to all the regulars. Drinks were amazing. The regulars made us feel very welcome. Will definitely have to stop by again the next time I come to Chicago.“

“The vibe is so chill and laissez-faire, some people play chess, some cards, some people watch sports on the various TVs. The drinks are solid and the service is good.

It's a safe, warm environment! The food window is just what it is, lol. You can order from the full menu, tacos, pizza, fries, chicken and salads!“

“Excellent service and food“

“Nice place great crowd parking is good side note the parking lot across the street in the strip mall has a no parking policy at 8pm any cars in the lot will be towed and the owner will be charged a $250 tow fee the signs posted states no parking at 10:00pm which is false If you park at 8:00pm your vehicle will be towed.“

“Kefi has some of the most delicious Greek food in the Chicago suburbs! The lamb chops, souvlaki, and gyros are phenomenal and so are the moussaka, pastitsio, and spanakopita. When it comes to appetizers, you can’t go wrong with the flaming saganaki cheese, the grilled octopus the fried calamari, the loukaniko sausage, or the taramasalata. Don’t forget dessert! Try the baklava, galaktabouriko, and the chocolate cake! They have amazing drinks too! The employees there are very kind and friendly and the chefs really know how to cook! Eat at Kefi! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Wonderful staff and friendly“

“My favorite Suburb bar with the coolest people“

“A nightclub in the middle of Harvey. And...it...was....bumpin!!!! On a Thursday!!! Just wow!!! The bar inside is fairly small but well appointed. Since it s summer? They had 3 huge tents...and a great sou d system. It was not only loud? But clear. You could hear the music clearly and the lyrics were clearly discernable from several blocks out. Wow Smittys!!! You are winning!!!
The security was also excellent. With the sidewalks all blocked off......with horses and tape and rope. Done well. Bumpin in Harvey!!! If u want a black owned nightclub? With great music? Atmosphere? Vibe? With young AND grown people? You ve found it!!!!
I only gave the food the rating I did because I didn't have any. When I do? I ll add to the review.
But? DO GO!!!! On Thursdays!!! You ll b happy you did!!!!“

“Bocce league is fantastic!“

“It was a quiet night in there. We sat at the bar and got a couple cocktails each and shared a few plates. Was impressed with all. Yumm. Surprised to see this only have 4.1 stars while being so elevated.. drinks n food were anything but ‘bar food’. Class. Loved it.“

“I love coming here when I’m in town. Both Ken and charles are amazing. I haven’t met the rest of the employees but I’m sure they are great too. It’s a good place to hang out, play some slots, and make some friends. Very clean as well“

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

“The Food, the service and the atmosphere…Friday and Saturday, this is where it’s at!!!“

“I love to visit Pablo's on a Wednesday to support Patricia. She is a GREAT bartender. Her personality is the reason to patronize Pablo's. She's here on Wednesdays & Fridays. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back"“

“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.“

“Ziggy and Ewa are awesome!“

“Fellow bartender here and the vibes are EVERYTHING!!!!!“

“Great bar, 110% a lot better than the ex owners! Chill place and great place to chill!“

“If this place didn't exist, I'd have to invent it...“

“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.“

“The Saturday night bartender is so kind and always has a pleasant attitude. The drinks were good and even though it’s a cash bar it’s worth it to stop by the bank to get cash every single time I know I’m going here. Never had a bad experience at this bar.“

“Live bands and stepper sets every Sunday about 5 o'clock til 9 or later. Always a mature crowd. Drinks are affordable the whole day but happy hours are anytime before 4 or 5 in which everything goes up $1 after. It's a Harold's next door and skyway bowling across the street that has another restaurant inside if needed.“

“We really enjoy the food plus the prices are very reasniable . We have tried almost everything on the menu and have enjoyed it all. Blake is an excellent bartender and host who makes you feel at home. He has a friendly personality and always has a smile on his face. Megan is a wonderful waitress who is friendly and outgoing. Best of all she makes us feel special because she always remembers what we like best. The owner (Roger) is a great person and always greets us with a big smile. He makes us feel like we are always welcome. We highly recommend BJ's for a nice evening out I'd you are in the Oak Lawn area. joel/Roy“

“My husband and I had a lovely first time visit to the Longford Pub. Great atmosphere and Marie was very kind. We had great conversation and shall definitely return. Thank you. Scott &Violet“

“The bar tender on Sunday mornings is amazing and he is very handsome and charming“

“Magoo's is letting the band Malinche play on August 25th knowing that a member of that band, Calvin Hobbes, is a rapist. Watch out for businesses that won't watch out for you ladies.“

“Excellent old school, warm, and fun Chicago restaurant, bar, and, if you need it, banquet hall. The bartender/server was very friendly, the delicious food was from scratch, and I had my favorite fried chicken in the city. My boyfriend had a delicious shrimp basket with massive shrimp. Lots of fried fish options, too. Great time!“

“Great Place Friendly patrons“

“We went to Harry’s this past Saturday and had a great time. Mary and Ray took care of my wife and I and they were awesome! Made sure we were well taken care of even with the crowd they had. I’d definitely be back for the service and the food! The tacos and wings were delicious!“

“Great place to watch a game, grab a bite and play some slots !!!!!“

“French onion soupnis prolly one of the best I've had!!!! highly recommended, 5star“

“313 is always a comfortable place. So many good nights there.“

“Friendly staff, patrons and the DJ is on point. Adult beverages are a hit!.“

“Today was my first time there. The food is delicious my kids love it but I don’t feel I had the great service. First, we didn’t get the napkins and utensils on time but way after the food got there. A drink spilled on me (our fault) which made me realized there was no napkins provided, by the time we found the lady for napkins I was soaking wet. Then we were about to start eating and my children needed a fork, well no fork was provided. We ordered 3 seafood boils, no utensils for that were provided neither. My husband ordered an extra drink, never was it brought to us. I’m happy my kids enjoyed it, but we were not that pleased as we saw others being treated differently. Not sure if we will be returning.“

“Good music, great people, nice city vibe.“

“Great peeps and the owner is really nice“

“Looking for somewhere to watch the spurs game and this place doesn’t disappoint.

Auntie behind the bar just asked if I was ok while I’m writing this review. Just to see if I need anything or would like another beer.
Thanks for the warm welcome!!“

“Great place. Good people.“
