“Filet mignon tacos are the best and the owner is such a sweetheart! Go support and enjoy the food!!!”

“If you're looking for the feeling of a small town bar, amidst the chaos of city bars and nightclubs, this is it. Between the bartenders being friendly and welcoming, the familiar music and/or tv, and the patrons, you should feel right at home.”

“My favorite place for deep dish”

“Highly impressed with your work and services”

“I’ve been to plenty of local coffee shops around Chicago and Sputnik is the absolute best. I stumbled upon this hidden gem a few years ago on my commute to work when they were on 51st. It’s been my almost daily stop since then. I’ve switched jobs a few months ago and a Sputnik pit stop adds an extra 20 min to my commute but it’s absolutely worth it.

I highly recommend a hot oat milk vanilla latte but anything you order will be amazing. They roast their own coffee, make their own flavored syrups, and they’ve done both right. The fresh pastries and growing food options have made Sputnik the best all around coffee shop. If you’re a coffee lover, DO NOT sleep on Sputnik.”

“Best Chinese food EVER! So much flavor ❤️”

“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.”

“Thank you Fernando and Ismael at 5 rabanitos!! Great food, great drinks and great service. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Wow, amazing lunch, just amazing!❤️😃”

“Yao Yao in Chinatown is a legit gem. Dropped about $35 for the sour pickle fish fillet and some spicy wontons, worth every penny. The fish was tender, swimming in a tangy, spicy broth that hit all the right notes. Wontons packed a punch too. Place is clean, staff's friendly, and the vibe's chill. If you're into bold Sichuan flavors, this spot's a must. Definitely coming back for more.”

“Me and a friend stopped here before a concert at the Radius, and this will be the official pregame for anytime I have a concert there. Great food, excellent drink selections, friendly staff...highly recommend!”

“First time ever dining at this type of restaurant. My husband and I really enjoyed the food and service. It was a little overwhelming to gobin blind without knowing what to do. But the staff was kind and answered all of our questions.

We ordered to brother. One spicy and one mild. I usually like spicy food, but had to take a break. The spicy was spicy!💥🔥🔥

For meats we orded wages, garlic chicken, and shrimp. We ordered broccoli and noodles as well.

Very tasty meal and great date night idea.”

“Absolutely Perfect Night at Oliver's

Everything about our experience at Oliver's was amazing and absolutely worth it. Here’s what stood out:

Drinks: The Oliver’s Martini is an absolute must-try – and trust me, upgrading to the caviar olives is a game changer. The Espresso Martini was another standout, and the Old Fashioned was perfectly crafted.

Food: Every bite was a delight. The bread and crispy artichokes were the perfect start. For mains, the scallops and burger were nothing short of top tier – flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely satisfying.

Dessert: We couldn’t resist diving into two options – the Key Lime Cheesecake and the Salted Caramel. Both were exceptional, and we’re already looking forward to trying more on our next visit.

In summary, Oliver’s delivered on every level – incredible drinks, standout dishes, and desserts that leave you wanting more. We can’t wait to return!”

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.”

“We've never been disappointed in our half dozen visits to Peanut Park. The pizzas are great, sausage and peppers appetizer, the pastas, and a great hazelnut gelato! The service is friendly. Parking is easy. There's a certain kind of nostalgia in a neighborhood restaurant like this. We'll be back!”

“The food was great and the atmosphere perfect Im from Monterrey and I felt I was there!!!!”

“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!”

“Had such a great time here after a long day of exploring this past Saturday! My two bartenders were great and suggested some good sojus for a better Korean experience! I think their names were Lizzy and Ariana but i did have a bit of Soju and beer 😂 The food was also incredible! I can’t recommend the japchae enough! If ever I’m back in Chicago I’ll make sure to come by again and maybe even sing that time around!”

“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández”

“I came all the way from Denver to visit and I really wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint delicious tortillas and Carnitas plenty of onion and cilantro and salsa. This place is a delicacy definitely needs more recognition.”

“All the entrees were well seasoned and not with salt. They would very flavorful and pleasing to the eye.The owner and staff were great! For the price, this is a hidden gem and the mint tea is a must post dining. Highly recommend!”

“Definitely a staple when it comes to hot dogs and jumbo fried shrimp in the Bridgeport neighborhood... Stop there before a Sox game or for a good lunch... You won't regret it! Bring cash because, they only accept that. No debit or credit cards! 😎”

“Best restaurant in Chicago ! ❤️”
