50 Best American Restaurants near La Grange

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“Had our holiday celebration and had an extraordinary experience - great food and excellent service.“

“Great food and great bourbon selection. But the bourbon is not on the menu you have to ask for it very good. Wait staff was excellent as well.“

“Great food choices. For ex. Goat & date salad with skirt steak for $35 was delicious. The entrees got to us fast although in the beginning was somewhat slow. Desert wise there are few other sweeter choices around. Overall though I would recommend the place.“

“Love coming here for live music; we got to see Michael Hayes here on August 2nd and the night was filled with amazing music in a great atmosphere, good food to top it off. Can't go wrong heading here for an enjoyable evening on their patio.“

“Had the Marley with chicken instead of a burger with provolone and the Korean bbq sauce and oh man…. So good; I can’t wait to try more things out! Pretty chill atmosphere too, looking forward to checking out the patio in the warmer weather. Highly recommended and I’ll be going back and back and back again.“

“My wife and I visited for our second time and it was top notch. The bartenders are very friendly and the food was delicious (highly recommend the braised short ribs). Will definitely be back!“

“The Chew was an amazing restaurant! Not only was the food amazing but the owners, Linda and Landy, and the staff were spectacular! We miss it so much! Truly an icon in our community!“

“There’s so many things I love about Barrel & Vine!! The food, of course! And the fact that everything is made to order, they have lots of gluten free options and they are all delicious! The staff is friendly… and they all get along really well! I love the location, atmosphere and so much more! It’s our favorite restaurant!!!!! Hands down.“

“Tadeo was so friendly, and he did a wonderful job taking care of my group of 10 at happy hour. The drinks and food choices are ample and prices so reasonable, they make Kona a perfect choice for a family celebration. It was the 2nd group outing I have enjoyed their this season, and I will be back. I know everyone I bring along returns as well. Thanks!“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“The food here is FANTASTIC. We ordered the stuffed banana peppers, coconut shrimp, salmon that’s on corn tamale cake (oh my goodness), seafood linguine, and lobster mac n cheese. We were both really impressed with how delicious all of the food was. Our waiter Jorge was so kind and attentive. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended.“

“Although I hear they have good smashburgers had a taste for wings. It's rare to find places that will give you the whole wing. Only downside, I wish they were a little bigger and on the online menu it pictured it came with coleslaw. It did come with fries that were nice and crispy. Overall, the meal was good and hot by the time I made it back home.“

“The best cheeseburgers ever!“

calm and cool cooking the food just the way
we like it! Appreciate the good food and service!“

“We dined at Topaz in August 2024 and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We were seated in a comfortable booth. A special mention goes to our server, Sasa, who was incredibly attentive and provided great suggestions. He even surprised us with complimentary limoncellos, which were absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we had the grilled octopus and hummus—both prepared to perfection and bursting with flavor. For the main course, we chose the Dover sole and Amish chicken. These dishes were exceptional and stood out as some of the best we've ever had. The potatoes served with the sole were also a delightful surprise. Portions were generous, and the prices were quite reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food. We highly recommend Topaz and will definitely be returning!“

“We have been to Melinda’s a couple times now and we absolutely love this place!!!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is amazing! Great live music on the weekends and trivia night was fun as well!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I came before they were closing and he took care of me , I absolutely love JJ Fish & Chicken! Every time I go, I order the chicken tenders, and they are always fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The customer service is excellent—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and quick to help. It’s hard to find a spot that consistently delivers great food and service, but JJ Fish & Chicken nails it every time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and a great experience!“

“The wait staff and cooks are fast and friendly...the owners are outstanding! Can't wait to come back!“

“Simon’s Restaurant & Bakery in Villa Park greets you with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I tried their Cream of Rice Soup, and wow—it was pure comfort in a bowl! Creamy, flavorful, and loaded with rice, it’s the perfect way to kick off your meal. For breakfast, I had the Spinach and Feta Omelette with crispy hashbrowns, and it did not disappoint. The omelette was fluffy, packed with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese, and cooked to perfection. Paired with golden, crispy hashbrowns, it was an absolute treat! Simon’s is a neighborhood gem where you can count on great food, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a pastry from their bakery, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“We tried this today after passing it for the past couple of weeks and wow! What a great addition to this area! We both got a 9” which is the larger of two size options. (The other is 7”). You can choose between steak and chicken. We both got the steak option. My husband got the original which is just as you would expect. Mozzarella, provolone, onions and peppers. I chose the Chicago which had all of the above with the exception of just mozzarella but with the addition of mushrooms, lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayo. Sides are extra but she was kind enough to tell us that an order of fries was enough for two people. It is a counter service appt. The lady who took our order was very helpful and courteous. Our order arrived fast. We didn’t even wait 10 minutes. It was fresh and steaming hot when it arrived at our table. The bread was amazing too. For desert we had the fried Oreos which were unbelievably addicting. We would come back over and over again and LOVE that they chose a location so close to where we live but make no mistake…we would travel a ways to come back.“

“First time and I loved it!!!“
