“Service from server was efficient and professional. Portoins for the Ruben Sandwiches and fries were very generous. Prices very reasonable for food and drinks in our party.Had a great St.Patrick's Day there! Their slot machines were very generous as well !We will definitely be back for lunch, drinks and slot machine fun!Parking: Large parking lot.“
“First time.. Their turkey club was amazing. I know it's a simple sandwich, but was made excellent and will draw me back again. Dropped a star on service because our server just seemed very disinterested and passed out table a few times without checking in on us. We still left generous tip. I get it.“
“Always enjoy your place ! Our go to when visiting our children and grandchildren in Lemont ! Food is always great and the service is top notch and super friendly! We don’t even consider stopping anywhere else because I would end up there getting my fav meatloaf dinner for the ride home anyway ?❤️❤️❤️Kid-friendliness: They treat my granddaughter like the the princess she is and they call you by name“
“Phenomenal place to eat drink and be merry. The staff is always friendly and has solid recommendations on any beer on tap. As well as food recommendations. Even for the items marked as sold out the waitress made sure to let us know what the had to replace them.“
“Friendly atmosphere and good food , fast service. we asked for gluten free food and they knew what it was! When I visit Joliet to meet with my good friend, we always stop at Vela's for lunch. Is it the good food? Yes! Is it the friendly, but professional service? Yes! Is it the kind of place where you can just relax,spend time and not feel rushed with friends or family in the warmth of an enjoyable restaurant? Absolutely! The cost of lunch, also makes it a practical choice for families and friends to enjoy. You know I love it so much, that I'm going back tomorrow.“
“Excellent adult beverages, prepared expertly by Michelle. I highly recommend the $2 early bird specials. I enjoyed her dirty gin martini, stirred, not shaken to avoid too much dilution. Michelle attracts an intelligent, well mannered soft spoken clientele. Check it out for yourself soon.“
“Tucked away in Hickory Hills on Roberts Rd just North of 95th, The Sock Bar & Grill is a sports aficionado's paradise that serves up not only a winning lineup of games on multiple TVs but also a menu that'll keep you coming back for more. The moment you step in, the atmosphere envelops you in the true spirit of a sports bar. The buzz of excitement fills the air, amplified by the sights and sounds of games on every screen. The digital jukebox sets the perfect soundtrack for your visit, adding an extra layer of energy to the lively ambiance. One of the standout features is the wrap-around bar, a hub of activity where the barmaids are on point, delivering swift service and deserved attention to patrons. They greet you with genuine smiles, ready to recommend a drink or chat about the latest game. If you're seeking a bit more privacy, the separate rooms for private parties offer a cozy setting for celebrations and gatherings. Now, let's talk about the star players on their menu. The fried pickles are a game-changer--thick-cut and perfectly crispy, they're a savory delight that keeps you reaching for more. The loaded nachos bring a fiesta to your taste buds with layers of cheese, fresh toppings, and just the right kick of spice. And let's not forget their flatbread pizza--Chicago style at its finest, boasting flavorful toppings atop a crispy crust that's pure satisfaction. The Chicago dogs pack a punch of flavor, although they fell slightly short without the iconic poppyseed bun. Nevertheless, the taste is spot-on, a tribute to the Windy City's famous dog. But it's not just the food that scores big at The Sock Bar & Grill--the drinks are fantastic! Whether it's their signature cocktails or a classic brew, they've got something to quench every thirst. And amidst the excitement and delicious bites, there's one constant--a welcoming smile from Kasha (spelling might need correction), who adds an extra touch of warmth to the experience. Overall, The Sock Bar & Grill hits a home run with its inviting atmosphere, mouthwatering menu, and stellar service. It's the kind of place where sports enthusiasts, foodies, and friends gather for an unforgettable time. So, grab a seat, cheer for your team, and indulge in a winning combination of great food, drinks, and hospitality at The Sock Bar & Grill. Cheers to a fantastic game day experience!“
“This is one of our go to spots. Can't believe I haven't heard of it sooner since we've lived a little North of union bar for over 10 years. Aside from me loving the memorabilia since I was a union electrician, the food snaps. Literally everything I've eaten there is awesome. My number one is the steak sandwich, followed by the mother clucker, and then the MAC burger. I do wish they still did the monthly burger specials because those were really fun to try. The drinks are made well too. The bartenders and waitresses are usually always on top of their game and we've become familiar faces to them so they chat with us now too. Love this place!“
“Had a wonderful lunch for a monthly retired teacher group. Joe and Vicki gave us the room in the back. Our meals were fantastic and Paige, our server, was wonderful! We were celebrating a 70th birthday and we were treated to several amazing desserts. The service was above and beyond our expectations. We booked our Christmas party here in December.“
“Wonderful server, she went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Brought out holiday treats and extra chips for us and made sure our drinks were always full. Phenomenal food, good sized plates for a great price. Loved this cute little place! Perfect for a cozy and fun lunch/dinner.“
“Went here for a Lions Club meeting, had a burger, it was delicious, moist, and on a grilled brioche bun. The staff was nice, the restaurant was nice and clean. The place was very busy. A must try, and a great addition to the neighborhood. I highly recommend that you try this place, I can't wait to come back.“
“A cozy place to chill and have a few drinks with friends, this local pub feels more like home than any bar I've been to. Sitting on the deck reminds me of family gatherings where we'd sit around and tell stories with beers in hand. The bartender kept her head on a swivel, always quick to grab your next drink before you've even had a chance to ask.Music was just the right volume to hear all the words to your favorite song without missing any of the conversation right next to you. Excellent atmosphere, will definitely be back again.“

“Came into bar Louie last night after a work event and I have to say some of the best service for a handling such a large group last night. It Just one server (Jacob) he took care of all us and still tried get to know us and have fun, it was overall great experience and will be back.“
“What a great experience! We rented the hall for a party. The people there are so friendly and out going. We had so much fun and made so many new friends. The grounds outside are just beautiful. We played bags, had a bon fire, and chatted with friends all night long.“
“My husband and I stop in here a couple times a month. It has plenty of seating at the bar if you're in the mood to sit at the bar -you can eat and drink there or sit at one of the many tables available. Family friendly. Not a quite place but the atmosphere is nice, people go there for their delicious burgers and home made friends, a few beers and maybe a few games on the slot machines. If you are looking for a really good burger, this is the place to go. My favorite is the Juicy Lucy. They have bacon burgers and burgers with a fried egg down to just your every day burger. Either way you order it its going to be amazing. Best home made fries ever! Stop on in, you wont regret it Great fast and and friendly service every time.“
“Nice breakfast spot in Orland Park. Refreshing new atmosphere and deco. The food was great, coffee was great ( they grind and sell their own bags). They make their own donuts too. Our server Megan was nice and thoughtful, would definitely go “
“The good: Great food, cold beer-- love the patio! Somewhat of a dive, but a comfortable one at that. Prices are great and the people friendly. The bad: Flat soda, dirty soda gun, food is faster than the drinks, that drop off from the bar area to the patio by the door... I plan on revisiting again, its a great little hideaway!“
“Looking for something new we thought we’d try Front Row for carry-out burgers on Sat. With the expectation that it was likely we’d be disappointed. We are very picky eaters and have been looking for a GOOD burger in or around Homer Glen. We both had the build your own burger along with Parmesan Garlic fries and hot wings. We were told 20 minutes max and the order was ready when my wife arrived. Very pleasant male took and brought out our burgers. BOTH BURGERS WERE ORDERED AS “medium” as we had little faith that we get anything other than a well done burger. We were happily surprised to find that they were a good sized 1/2 Lb. cheddar, grilled onions and mushroom burgers with Chipotle mayo The garlic butter Parmesan fries were excellent too but I would ask for a little extra garlic butter on them. The hot wings were a complete disappointment. They appeared to be reconstituted from yesterday, were overcooked and very tough. If that’s an indication of “normal” then I would pass until more attention is given to this popular offering. I will stop by and discuss our experience with the owner soon cause you don’t know what you don’t know and Front Row is deserving of a little effort on my part to keep it open and improve the wings as well as to provide some VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK on the burgers!They were simply OUTSTANDING! Best burger we’ve had in a long time! For comparison purposes we used to be regulars at the Country House (until their burgers went to hell (smaller, different type/blend of ground meat). Not the same as it was when it opened. Anyway, we stopped going there several years ago. Our other safe place was Claim Jumpers in Oakbrook. Another very reliable burger place.In short I wanted to go back the next day but decided on a planned attack instead where one of us would order a burger and the other one of the very tempting sandwiches they offer every time we go as a method of broadening our ordering options in the future.In short, if you have a taste for a burger, stop reading and just go! I will add more info as we test more entrees etc. ENJOY!“
