Restaurants near East Hazel Crest

“Cool little bar in the middle of a neighborhood. Older crowd, no fights or drama. This is a must see place. There is no way they would ever allow a bar in the middle of a neighborhood these days.”

“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!”

“I ordered the avocado chicken curry with rice! It was absolutely delicious. Very flavourful. Just perfect. My friend got the avocado mac and cheese. I tasted it and loved that too. The portions are large and we brought some home. We got the avocado cheesecake cup for desert and wow! Yummy yummy yummy. They have a kids menu too! I will be a regular customer in the future. You have to try this place!”

“Amazing in every way. Come for the banana pudding, stay for the cheesecake, or sweet potato pie, or mango, or..... Absolutely worth the trip.”

“My husband and I were very impressed with the food. It's made fresh and is delicious. The fries tasted great and were not greasy. My husband had a huge delicious hamburger that he couldn't finish in one sitting. I had the steak shawarma which I enjoyed very much. We sat outside because the weather was perfect for it. The people working there were friendly and polite. We were definitely impressed.”

“Great food and good quick service.. They onion rings are good!!!!”

“I’m a cook, kudos to All out smoke Pit. The best rib tips , turkey tips and the balance of the food. Haven’t had Barbecue like this since Alice on 43rd between Wabash and Michigan Ave. Moreover Alice , there’s a new Queen and King of Barbecue. It’s the best! I have recommended their food to everyone I know. So far no disappointments!”

“We have been twice and both times we're wonderful I want to come back to try the whole menu, the goat melts in your mouth the chicken is always perfect, I could eat the sauces all day long and not run out of options”

“Honestly these are the best shawarma in the neighborhood I love them anyone I take here always has nothing but good things to say about the food, the atmosphere is very inviting and the staff is very nice. I recommended the food to everyone that visits Chicago. I love it.”

“Great food and fun!”

“I love Ixxa & their staff is the best!”

“💯 it’s the best place I recommended”

“Absolutely beautiful Italian restaurant.. the ambience is amazing.. the food is absolutely delicious! We come here every Thanksgiving and celebrate our family celebrations there.. most recently my daughters graduate last nite. Highly recommend”

“I went in earlier for a little late breakfast. I definitely was not disappointed. I got a simple breakfast with some extra eggs and fries to go. Only thing that stood out to me was the building itself looked dirty, the windows needed cleaning, the parking lot was covered in trash and just debris from the street flying all around the floors and in the grass. I would probably come back to Denny's at some point, they had some cool new breakfast items that I still want to try.

Parking: Tons of parking.

Kid-friendliness: It's a Denny's. You can always come in and feed the whole family for a decent price.”

“Was recommended this restaurant from a friend. The maple tree and did not disappoint. Made a reservation online easy. Their menu is awesome, simple and delicious. Crab cake was perfect! Our dinner was fantastic. We had trout and shrimp. They have the best banana pudding over crème brûlée. The coffee for an end cap was out of this world good!”

“Finally made it out to Tea+Poke and I’m legit sad it took me that long to get there. The people are kind, the environment is welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious. The pineapple passion fruit tea was the icing on the cake. I couldn’t decide what to get because TBH the entire menu looks delicious. Staff recommended the Korean Beef Short Rib bowl and an I added an orange chicken bowl as well. Both were winners. So much so, I’ll definitely be back to eat and drink my way through the menu. Highly recommend. 🥰”

“They don't usually disappoint. I don't know what happened today, but the plain boneless chicken wings were over done(burnt).
I really hope it was an off day today as I am a customer here.”

“We absolutely love this place and the owners! They are so accommodating and helpful to make sure you get exactly what you want! We always get the chicken Tikka Masala, Chole Gravy (comes with fried Indian bread that's to die for), and the Aloo Paratha. So yummy! The Samosas are the best I've ever had but are a bit too spicy for my taste. We tend to order them anyway and power through the spice because they're so dang good! Lol. 10 out of 10!”

“I had the steak kabob dinner, so much food could only eat half. Excellent! Going to try the 1/2 chicken next time.”

“I had ordered the sausage & Italian beef slices with fries and I had a great conversation with the man up front while I waited. I was satisfied with the slices I received and the fresh fries that were made from me. Overall great experience?.”

“MashAllah loved the place and the coffee ☕️ wow”

“I don't even know where to begin. The service is always above and beyond awesome (♡ Ruby and Dahlia)! This is a family owned business (and owner and family are always there working their butts off and checking to see everyone is happy) and it is obvious that they take pride in what they serve and they really appreciate their customers. I have ordered many different dishes from the menu and everything is always delicious and hot and cooked exactly as I ordered. The margaritas are top notch. My absolute favorite is the cucumber magarita. Make sure to try their tableside guac...so good!!! Carne Asada is excellent. I hesitate to share this review because I'd love to keep this hidden gem all to myself but some things just need to be shared with the world. You're welcome!!!”

“The food is all excellent . I only have a few more items on the menu to try . Staff are friendly and efficient.”

“Food was so good! Happy we were able to try it while visiting out of state. Tacos de tripa y birria were so good. We had the queda berria combo with the tapatío Roman and that was delicious. We had some filled churros to end the night. 10/10 recommend. Limited sitting but great places to get take out and enjoy!”

“100 % recomendable El menudo una Bomba de sabor me transporto a mi lindo Michoacan todos muy amables Senor Sergio siempre atendiendo a sus clientes humilde y sencillo Familia Reyes Chavez de Chupicuaro siempre apollando Buena comida de los pequenos negocios Saludos”

“Friendly staff, great atmosphere and a treat for everyone. My husband and I love the Peach Matcha with Oat Milk.”

“I had brunch here today with a friend, first time here. I had the corned beef benedict and not only was it the best corned beef I've ever had in my life, but the orange juice was amazing, the service was great, and the value was fabulous also! Will definitely be back and plan to possibly go once a week with friends! 10 out of 10 recommend!”

“Super good!!love this place”

“I went here Sunday for lunch. The food and service was excellent. I had the steak and chorizo taco with rice and beans. Both tacos were filled with meat. Super good and filling. I highly recommend the apple pie. I got the dessert to go and it did not disappoint. It was the best apple pie I have ever had.”

“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!🤩”
