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!!!”

“My favorite place for deep dish”

“Wonderful experience at Oliver’s! The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a great night out. One of my favorite parts was being able to see into the kitchen from our table and watch the chefs at work, it added such a special touch to the evening and gave us an appreciation for the care that goes into every dish.

The food was exceptional, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. We followed Sam’s recommendations, and she absolutely delivered, every dish was outstanding. Sam was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel effortless. Between the incredible food, welcoming ambiance, and the chance to watch the culinary team in action, Oliver’s provided a truly memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to return. 🤍”

“.great experience always.”

“First time coming out to try this type of experience. Everything was great and our server (Ryan) did a great job explaining things to us. He even gave some great recommendations on what to order. I’m a carnivore by nature so this was my kind of place. I forget what the rice dish with the egg was called but I enjoyed the crispy texture at the edge of the sizzling bowl. I went into a mini-meat trance after all was said and done but it was worth it.”

“I’d been wanting to try Yao Yao for a while, and it was worth the visit. The space is modern with a menu centered around its signature pickled fish soup. The portion was huge and the broth had a satisfying spicy kick. I also loved adding the vegetables to soak up all the flavors. The twice-cooked pork was another solid dish. While the menu is more compact than other Sichuan restaurants, this is the spot if you are craving pickled fish.”

“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!”

“Everything a matcha latte should be. Balanced in every way. Also ordered a bagel sandwich which was pretty good - as an East Coaster bagels in Chicago just don’t hit the same however it was decent. Definitely a bit pricey but overall worth it!”

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

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

“I already sent a review but happy to do again. Ambience was wonderful, food was great & service superb! Special thanks to Samantha & her partner for their wonderful service!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Unlike no other Italian ice, the recipe & quality has remained true since I was a child some +60 yrs ago!”

“Amazing food. Great atmosphere. What more can be said?”

“Highly impressed with your work and services”

“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”

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

“As Islanders living here, this place is a piece of of home. Onolicious grinds!”

“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!”

“Visited a friend/wfh for a week and went to this cafe which was a few blocks away. Had it been a lot further away, having tried it already, I would have still gone back every day for my morning coffee! I love everything about this place…the vibe, the nod to a history and niche-ish subject of yesteryear, the friendly staff, and the coffee itself was delicious. One of the owners was present twice I was there and was very friendly - I wanted to buy a shirt but they didn’t have my size and he looked in the back and made sure the size wasn’t available before I left. Anytime I’m in Chicago, I will be back and will be ordering a shirt online. 10000/10!!!!”

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

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

“❤️ ice cream 🍦 Great tea”

“Fool and falafel and the kushari”

“Very energetic and somewhat loud crazy place for breakfast (anytime) and lunch. Popularity with locals and visitors, Eleven City has a wide variety of diner foods, including excellent Reubens and other similar sandwiches. The vodka lemonade is also tasty.

Expect a wait at lunch time and make sure everyone joining you is there when you’re seated. They don’t allow late members to your party.”

“Best restaurant in Chicago ! ❤️”

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