Family Restaurants near Forest Park, IL

“Beautiful chill spot for burgers and drinks. Beer garden ideal for a summer night. Freshest of chips and guac. Inexpensive and friendly. Used the passport app to park a few blocks away, and my spot was free after 8PM. Very walkable neighborhood.“

“Everything on the menu is fabulous I recently ordered grecian steak. The quality of the meat dont compare to even the fancy overpriced meat at these big name steak house. It was tender juicy seasoned just enough to enjoy the real flavor of the meat. It was enough for 4 meals. And the price is unbelievably right“

“Ghawar is easily one of the best Middle Eastern spots in the Chicago area. The food is authentic, fresh, and packed with flavor—from the creamy hummus and crispy falafel to the shakshouka, foul, kibbeh, and incredible grilled meats. The pita is warm and fluffy, the portions are generous, and everything tastes made with real care and tradition.
The service is friendly and welcoming, and the space itself is beautiful, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. Whether you come for an Arabic breakfast, a mixed grill, or sandwiches like shish tawook and kabab, you really can’t go wrong.
Ghawar is the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re eating a home-cooked meal in the Middle East. Highly recommend—I’ll absolutely be back!“

“Mimi is such a gem! If I could give her a thousand stars I would. Her sweet nature and amazing way she interacts with my kids and just the warm feeling you get in her presence is a stand out. Not to mention the food is always incredible and very reasonably priced. We love Mimi and Prairie Cafe - absolute best in town!!!“

“Won't be back and certainly Do not recommend. whatever you do, don't order a meal that includes stuffing. stuffing was the consistency of oatmeal. mushy and had something that resembled mini grapes?? I honestly don't know what that ingredient was. never in my life have I seen that. waitress didn't know what it was either. Waitress asked if I wanted something else instead of the stuffing, but came back and said they wouldn't exchange the side dish. Within 45 min, we both have upset stomachs and bathroom issues.“

“I love this spot! It has a little parking lot which is convenient and the staff is so friendly. The restaurant is clean and has some great breakfast classics on the menu. I always come here before I hit up the Jewel across the street. Highly recommend!“

“I had a last-minute gathering and wanted to make sure I had great food for my guests, so I reached out to Krave Catering. From the moment I sent my inquiry, they were incredibly responsive. They took my order right away and had everything delivered straight to my home.

I was truly blown away by the level of customer service, attention to detail, and overall experience. I’ve catered for larger events before, so I knew what to expect—and Krave exceeded my expectations!

I will absolutely be using Krave as my go-to catering from now on, whether it’s a large event or a small gathering. Their menu has everything and anything I could want to serve, and their eagerness to provide excellent service really stands out.

Thank you, Krave, for making my last-minute gathering so easy and stress-free! ❤ Highly recommend“
