“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“This place was awesome! My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here and we loved the experience. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. There was a big group next to us and at one point the staff put on a loud birthday song and brought out a cake on a plate and started singing happy birthday. The whole restaurant of strangers erupted into cheers and shouts and laughter for this guy. It was hilarious. Our server Abby was very friendly and always checked in on us. We had mentioned that we were celebrating an anniversary and she came out at the end of our meal with this custom plate in the picture. This was such a thoughtful gesture and really brought the experience over the top for my girlfriend and I. Thanks so much for making our night so wonderful!“

“We stopped for lunch and had the lunch combo plate and the gyro plate. We were glad we made the trip.“

“I loveeee longhorn. I ordered take out tonight, pick up at 10:30 and even though it was close to closing time it was bangin. Even gave us extra ranch!!! Never ever had a bad experience here. My favorite restaurant, shoutout to every single employee.“

“Nice, clean restaurant and was not too crowded for Sunday dinner except someone's party. Food was okay nothing exceptional that I was anticipating. I have had more tastier Nihari at Usmania, Sabri or Ali Nihari. BBQ was good but karahi needs more reasonable fixing. We liked the paratha poori, Naan and parathas were freshly made and hot to touch. Staff was polite and courteous.
The parking lot needs fixing. We used disability parking but the walkway was so rocky, uneven and so far from the entrance that my dad almost fell with his rollator. It definitely needs fixing before a lawsuit happens“

“This was my first time trying lamb chops and I’m a genuinely satisfied“
