“I absolutely love the vibe at Afro Joe's. The beverages & food are always amazing. I order online, grab it & go when I have to keep it moving. But when I have the opportunity to sit and chill, it's a whole vibe and I LOVE IT! Great job Aisha & Kendall Griffin!“

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)“

“Excellent brews. Very welcoming bartenders. Meg is a gem. The crowd is friendly. The food from Heffer BBQ is delicious, prepared by pit master Shawn and his charming wife, Lenore.

“Thank you so much Cafe El Menson for your generous donation to my kindergarten classroom today. My students really enjoyed the Arroz con Gandules. I cannot thank you enough!“

“We’ve visited the Belvidere IL location for both dine in and take out since it opened. We have yet to be disappointed except when the delivery person (me) accidentally tipped a VERY hot pizza to one side, moving the toppings askew! 😂 Great service and they always offer our “usual” and/or specials!“

“Me and the GF had the Cruel Summer and the Expresso Milk Shake. They were both so good! Can’t wait to try others! Great place has a lot of outdoor seating as well.“

“If you care about people and food, this is the place. Great food created and served by great people. The folks delivering this experience outperform every time and every day. You can tell ownership cares and takes great pride in excellent food and service!🤩“

“Enjoyed the brisket taco 🌮 and wine yummy chips and salsa 😋“

“We stayed in our RV on property as part of our Harvest Host membership.

We each had a sampler where you can try up to 4 meads, which is made from honey. They have one that tastes like pino grigio (dry meade who knew), another that takes like apple pie (delicious), another like PB & J (yummy), they have spicy mead (very hot and delicious), etc. They were all delicious! Most of their meads are gluten and dairy free with the exception of the meads fermented in bourbon barrels.
I would love to come back for a paint and sip party and other special events. They had candle making tonight.
The outdoor seating in the back is a beautiful garden setting perfect for any occasion.
This is an amazing find!“

“Thanks for the vegan offerings. My family and I enjoyed our meals very much. Super tasty!!!“

“Fun, down to earth, good food and the owner rocks!“

“Peppo's came through for our unit when we needed to feed an entire squad! This was our first time with Peppo's and it was great! We definitely will be ordering from here again.“

“Fabulous atmosphere, killer "naked" wings, tunes, and staff. Highly recommend.“

“Teresa was outstanding great atmosphere“

“We went there today for breakfast. The eating area was nothing special but it was clean and nice enough for us to dine there. The food was pretty good as well. We tried the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the cheese and jalapeño sandwich (our favorite) as well as a coffee and a hot chocolate! Everything was pretty good. In fact we decided to take a loaf of the jalapeño cheddar sourdough and some sweets home after we were through eating. Our only complaint was the gentleman taking the orders. He has absolutely zero personality and as the face of a place like this, you need to have someone willing to engage with customers. We never saw him smile once while he was dealing with us and we had two transactions while we were there. The bread is amazing. I just hope that the front of the store doesn’t keep people from returning! Just our 2 cents!“

“Fine folks - Good staff workers that take photographs as well“

“1st time. Service was very good and friendly. Guy with the black curly hair super nice. Food was good. Had salad, soup, and a latte. Will be back.“

“OMG Betty ice cream is the very Best ice cream in Chicago. I been coming here for many years. The elderly husband and wife are so kind and wonderful service. Best prices and great large portions and please ask them to dipp your cone in frozen chocolate is incredible. Sometimes is big line but is worth your wait and bring cash. There old school elderly couple with no credit card. Only cash“

“We had a wonderful experience at Burger 21! Delicious food (burgers were amazing, milkshakes delicious!), prompt service, clean dining room and even a handwashing station! Highly recommend! We will be back!“

“Food was great and the paper and carrots were fantastic. I'll definitely be back again“

“I came here to get a solo dinner during some rainy weather on a very empty stomach. I shouldve had a little something before i came because i was getting a bit hangry (not their fault of course) but they made sure to seat me ASAP. Service was phenomenal and their options for the prices are very reasonable. They have a self serve buffet style for your hotpot such as veggies, eggs, fish etc. and even some warm options like fried rice and lo mein that i was so happy to munch on until my soup got very hot and got to cooking.
They also have a small bar with dessert options like their coconut or mocha cake, fruits and ice cream.

Id definitely bring more people next time but i was craving hot pot and didnt want to be bothered with feeling like i needed to talk/entertain friends as i enjoy my own company most often times.

I am so happy they accomodated my solo date and i left very happy and full!!😋“

“Yummy sub sandwiches, a step above the rest. Shells pasta salad, so good. Deliciousness.“

“Great food and great bourbon selection. But the bourbon is not on the menu you have to ask for it very good. Wait staff was excellent as well.“

“The best. Chilaquiles and pancakes“

“I stopped by today and tried the Shortcake Latte—easily one of the best specialty drinks I’ve had in a while. It was super smooth, sweet in the right way, and really unique.

Rami took my order and was great the whole way through—friendly, fast, and made the drink perfectly. The place has a nice vibe too, so it’s definitely somewhere I’ll come back to.“

“Jen’s is amazing. The outdoor patio is set into The woods of the forest preserve. Definitely feels like a special occasion every time you’re there!“

“Great bartenders with a great atmosphere.“

“Great customer service thank you guys and food was amazing!“

“Pyszne jedzenie, miła obsługa bardzo pozytywna atmosfera. każdemu z czystym sercem polecę. owoce morza pychota. Bywam prywatnie i z grupami i każdy wraca zadowolony“

“Best Gyro's in town! Generous portions and A great Staff! 5⭐️ Always friendly, welcoming and smiling!! Casual atmosphere and nicely decorated for every holiday! smiling!“

“I go to this location quiet often, but I was extremely disappointed as well as angry with what I saw today at this location. (3/9/25 at 5:35pm) The 3 customers that were ahead of me placed their orders were first timers I found out. The young lady that was fixing their smoothies dropped a cup on the floor, picked the cup up from the floor then sat the cup to the side. As she finished one smoothie she pulled a fresh cup, then the 2nd smoothie she proceeded to pour it in the cup that she picked up off the floor. I told the young lady that took my order, so she then pulled the young to the side to tell her that I saw what she did then she looks at me and says "I'm Sorry" (I said to her): What do mean you are sorry, why would you do that, and why are you giving that to her, you need to remake that smoothie ...and guess what she did not. I'm just want to make people aware: Watch the people that prepare your sandwiches/smoothies or anything of that sort. It's not their stuff, they're not paying for it so they don't care. That was just the epitome of nasty and extremely unsanitary. She didn't have on a Tropical Cafe shirt, she had on a gray shirt, she may have been new, I'm not sure but we need to learn to do better when working with the public. Don't do things to people that you don't want done to you!!!!! FYI...the name on the ticket was: Shelia G“

“High quality trivia night host. Incredible food on a changing menu. Great place to hang with friends and family. Or a great place to sip wine and hang out with one of the many in-house books. Classy and laid back atmosphere.“

“5 star service Authentic Mexican Food The tamales are absolutely amazing I’ve been here several times and it’s amazing every time.“

“Fabulous food, drinks and service. The decor is modern and comfortable. Staff was very attentive and allowed us to stay after dinner and you didn't feel rushed. Lighting was lowered while we were there but that touch added to the ambiance. The meal was delicious and larger than expected at a fair price. We had burgers with roasted potatoes that were seasoned perfectly. Staff made sure we had water as compared to many establishments where you have to ask for a glass of water. Will return to try other items on the menu. Parking on the street and in a lot which you can access in the middle of the block was nice.“

“Hands down the Butter Burger was the best burger I have ever enjoyed, and I have thrown back a few burgers in my time...😎“

“We enjoyed so many of the food options! Some of our favorites are tacos, bowls, and burritos! The restaurant is clean and the staff are kind and attentive.“
