Restaurants near Hometown

“John is the best employee there is. Stella's is kept clean, drinks are offered and the menus for food are out as well as the counter snacks. Some employees hide the snacks and don't offer anything but a drink.”

“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.”

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

“Oliver's is a MUST visit. I cannot emphasize what a lovely time my friends and I had. I cannot sing enough praises to the immense care and charismatic service provided. The space itself is beautiful and while it seats more than you'd think, there's a level of coziness and intimacy. The food is well prepared and delicious. With elevated dishes, I thought the menu offers flair and thoughtfulness. Amongst our group we had carrots, truffle gnocchi, burgers, chicken, milk and cookies, espresso martinis, and the milk punch. Not a single miss, we were all happy members of the clean plate club. I had a phenomenal experience at Oliver's and cannot wait for my next visit, I will certainly be back in the near future.”

“Delicious 😋 food！ Warm and kind service ! Cozy atmosphere 😊 !”

“We had a great dinner, the food was delicious. I would order everything we had again(lobster dumplings, Thai chicken satay salad, heirloom tomatoes, short rib, and salmon). Dessert was amazing(bread pudding and malt ice cream). The service was attentive, our waitress made excellent recommendations. The noise level was good. It was well worth the travel from the North Shore.”

“Absolutely delicious!! Can't wait to come back”

“.great experience always.”

“Food is the star here. Fresh and complex flavors. Everything was top notch. BYOB too.
The pickled fish dish is huge, the smallest it says is for two but seems more like 3-4 people.”

“Syd is so kind and helpful with explaining everything clearly and having some great recommendations. Moves very fluidly though the large rush of people, making sure all our needs are met”

“I got the bourbon vanilla bean iced coffee. It was well balanced not too sweet which I loved and had such a good flavor. I also got the bacon egg and cheese on a croissant which was amazing!”

“I finally got to try Rubi’s on 18th and let me tell you. OMG! I do believe these are the BEST tacos, I've EVER had. The cashier was super nice and friendly, the food was fresh and there was a lot of it for the price. I can’t wait to go back already. I got 4 steak tacos, strawberry horchata, and guacamole and chips. Thank you guys! Monica Miranda! See you next time.”

“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!”

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!”

“Wonderful experience at MCCB! The highlight of our food in Chicago for my whole family 💕”

“Amazing time! Danny was my server! He is the best very attentive very helpful. the hostess was great also and sweet”

“Great food and atmosphere”

“Great restaurant with delicious food and the best people working there.”

“Very impressed with the taste of the ice-cream and pound cake. It is not too sweet but just enough.”

“The space is big and beautiful with lots of natural light and cool views outside! Their croissant breakfast sandwich was a nice big portion and tasted delicious. Love the location behind the Chicago Park District headquarters so you could go for a stroll or check out the park and recreational fields afterwards.”

“Solamente quiero decir que este lugar no lo vuelvo a pisar tres horas, esperando no sirvieron la comida completa, la hostess hizo un comentario. Tienen hambre que se esperen otro manager, quería sentarnos al lado de la basura. Es una falta de respeto más aparte sus cocineros hicieron unas palabras anti sonantes. Otra falta de respeto. Cero recomendaciones enséñales a sus trabajadores ser profesionales”

“❤️ ice cream 🍦 Great tea”

“10 stars if I could give them! And that’s just for having the Ink Spots record hanging on the wall!

The food was amazing, the service was attentive, and the old school music was like taking a Time Machine into the 1950s. Highly recommended!

The only downside we experienced was sitting directly under the speaker system for the entire diner and it was so loud!”

“The food was amazing! The gumbo, short ribs, greens with smoked turkey, Mac & cheese and cornbread were delicious!”

“We see why the Chicken Parm Pannino is a favorite! Great sandwich served with thin cut crispy fries. Left full and yet wanting more! 😋”
