“Great vibes! Super fair prices, clean space, enough parking.“

“Great food and a fun atmosphere!“

“Been to Jenny's about 10 times and they never disappoint. Brought my fiance here for the 1st time and have been here 2 tines within the month. She loves it. We live in Indiana and pass many steakhouses to come here.“

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!“

“Personalized attention. Some delicious cakes. An exquisite coffee“

“This was my first time ordering and it was amazing! my partners favorite cake is tres leches and he said this was hands down the best one he's ever had! also the people in the shop were so kind and taught me about their cake soaking process which was fun. I will absolutely be coming back and recommending this place“

“Food is always excellent!“

“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 :)“

“Found metal in my food and the staff was Very Rude about it!“

“an instant superstar in this community, people will come from near and far for this quality of Italian.“

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

“We have been to Melinda’s a couple times now and we absolutely love this place!!!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is amazing! Great live music on the weekends and trivia night was fun as well!“

“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!“

“First time here, and it was fantastic. While waiting for my dining partner to arrive, the place was mobbed in minutes (6 pm on a Friday), but the 2 counter staff and the kitchen staff never stopped moving. We got our meals fairly quickly, considering the rush. The best thing? The food was great! Perfect seasoning on the fries, the tenders are HUGE (like 2 and a half combined into one monster piece).

I got the Tender / Mini / Fries combo, and my wife got the Mac combo.

The spices are perfectly balanced - I had mild and medium on my chicken, my partner had mild on hers. She has a much more timid palate, and she was good. If you get mild on the Mac combo, make sure the sauce on the Mac matches the chicken sauce - otherwise, that's *a spicy*.

I can not compliment the counter staff enough - they were moving so fast. I told the one she should try out for the Chicago Bears; she did a supply run in 10 seconds flat! Even the customer next to me agreed! =)

Can't wait to go back. Recommended!“

“Stopped in here for lunch for the first time and let me tell you I was blown away! Great prices great food! Definitely going to be the spot from now on!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious, loved the sauce especially, had a cheese and sausage thin crust and basically ate half of a large to myself haha.“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

“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!🤩“

“Good service great flavors“

“Some friends and I came in just before one of their private events. Rather than turn us away, they very graciously helped us pick out various drinks to go. Super friendly folks just genuinely excited about their craft. And the mead was absolutely delicious!“

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

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

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

“I stopped by Happy Lamb Hot Pot (Bridgeport) on a chilly evening with friends and it was exactly the kind of communal food experience that hits the spot when you want warmth, flavor, and a little celebration around the table. The thing that stands out right away is how fresh everything feels — from the thinly sliced meats (especially the lamb) to the crisp vegetables and bouncy noodles — and the broth options range from mild and savory to boldly spicy if you’re craving heat.

It’s a pick-your-own adventure sort of meal: you choose your broth base, pile your plate with meats, greens, mushrooms, tofu, and more, then cook it all right at the table in the simmering pot. Between generous portions and lots of little dipping sauces, every bite feels personalized and fun. The vibe inside is casual and lively — people chatting, laughing, juggling chopsticks, and swapping ingredients back and forth — so it feels less like a restaurant and more like a dinner party that just happens to have really good broth.

Service was prompt and helpful with suggestions on broths and sauces, which is nice if you’re new to hot pot. It’s not fancy, but it’s cozy, social, and delicious — perfect for a group outing or when you want a hands-on meal that keeps you warm from the inside out.“

“Stopped for some pan dulce and some yummy chocolate croissants, but once I saw the torta de jamon (ham sandwich)being made I knew I had to go back!! Had the pleasure of visiting Grano for a second Sunday in a row. The torta did not disappoint and the cafe the olla, WOW if only I can get one every morning. The service was amazing, so courteous, and prompt with our order without sacrificing the quality or presentation. The cafe is so warm and cozy, don't snooze on Grano plan your visit soon!“

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

“Best place to eat in Bridgeport! Hands down. Wonderful staff and owner.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“one of the best dining experiences I've ever had!! food tasted great, customer service was great, extra clean (everywhere), owner, bartender, and chef made sure everything tasted great and was ok. I highly recommend and will be back!“

“Back when I lived in the area, Irish Times had just opened and I stopped in to have a Guinness. Now, I have had Guinness all over the Chicago area and never has a Chicago pint ever approached the magical, otherworldly flavor of a pint consumed in Ireland. I don't know if it's the water, the proximity to the brewery or just some kind of strange magic that happens to Guinness in Ireland, but I've never had better. That all changed when I drank that first pint at Irish Times. It was easily the best pint of Guinness I've had outside the Emerald Isle. I've since left the area and have had pints all over the United States and Canada. Nothing has approached the quality, freshness and taste of the Guinness at Irish Times in Brookfield. If you are lucky enough to be nearby, don't hesitate to make a detour to the pub. You will not regret it.“

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

“Came here today for the brunch with the Grinch. It was a great experience for me and my family. My toddler really enjoyed the Grinch. He was interactive and great with the kids. The food and atmosphere were great also. Hope this becomes an annual event because we will be there every time.“

“Food was delicious. They serve large portions. Staff is super friendly. Atmosphere is great, loved the mixture of background music including soft rock.“

“To say this place is phenomenal would be an understatement. I had the banana cream latte with almond milk and it was amazing. They don't make it too sweet like the big chain coffee shops, you can still taste the expresso and the flavoring they use, which is how a latte should be in my opinion. They offer sweetness levels if you prefer it more sweet. Great service, friendly employees/owners, and great atmosphere. I will definitely be back on the next cheat day. I love having places like this around.“

“Trying to find new Polish Deli's. Purchased several items, and very happy with them. Disappointed in the potato dumplings, don't understand why they are spongy. Everything else I purchased was good. Will go back to try more things.“

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

“I love the ceviche ! & shrimp cocktail!“

“I’ve seen this place in my neighborhood for quite some time and decided to try it out and I’m glad I did. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious! And great value too. I definitely will recommend this place to friends and family :)“

“I thought the food was great. Front desk staff appeared overwhelmed and did not present a welcoming vibe. We had a table of 5 but had to ask for silver wear for 3 more people and water for 2 more. The atmosphere is loud. Lots of children running around. Seemed a bit chaotic. Not sure I'd come here again“

“The selection of drinks here is vast and on point. The staff is knowledgeable and is helpful with choosing the best option. In my opinion, the music area is a little DIY, but i love it. Artists fill the space with music!“

“Thank you for help me Dr Zabaza #psychiczabaza“
