50 Best American Restaurants near Markham

“This little hidden gem needs to stay open 24 hours, yes the food is that . I would have posted what I brought, but once I bite into those Philly cheese shrimp egg rolls I was too busy having the most delicious out of body experience. The beyond burger was perfect and the sweet potato fries made me wave to the food Gods for putting this place down here on earth.“

“Nice local restaurant! I got the avo vegan chorizo wrap, and my partner got the chicken avo flatbread. As well as shared the avo cheescake. All were delicious. Good vibe inside and the people working were very friendly! Would definitely recommend.“

“100% of our dinner was fantastic! Service is awesome. Our food included the bruschetta and Stuffed Rolled Eggplant appetizers which were amazing! The Italian Giambotta was the best I ever had. We finished it off with coffee and their lemoncello, which was unbelievable! Get here! We'll definitely be back.“

“Darrin at calumet city is an awesome nice guy. He’s so polite & always put a smile on everyone’s faces. He makes this restaurant feel like you’re at home, eating some good food & sharing good laughs. I highly recommend you guys to try this place out.“

“Service was good! I appreciate that they have fresh squeezed orange juice but what needs to be changed is the name of their red velvet french toast. It should be red velvet cake roll toasted. I was very disappointed that it was a cake and not bread.“

“Country House is always enjoyable. Friendly staff, good food, always consistent. French Onion soup is wonderful! Portions good size, lots to choose from.Dietary restrictions: They will do their best to meet your needs! Gluten free options as well.“

“I've been here with some friends a couple of times and they don't disappoint. The service is great, the bartenders are really good, the food is really good and it gets a bit crowded but you never feel closed in. The outside accommodation was comfortable even when it was cold out, and the lower level option was great since we had a few more people. I was missing an item and called to explain the situation and they fixed it right away, no hassle or complications. We will definitely be back for our monthly get togethers!!!“

“I loved this place! From the moment you walk in, you get an amazing cozy vibe. The waitresses are very loving and welcoming. The food was very good. I would say it’s the best I’ve tried around the area. We got the combo special number 1, banana and Nutella crepes (with right amount of sweetness) and cheese blintzes (a little too sweet side). We also ordered biscuits and gravy (that didn’t make it to the picture), which were surprisingly good.“

“Oh my gosh!! This is the most amazing place ever. We had fantastic service, fantastic food and such a wonderful time. The food just goes beyond words. I can’t even describe how delicious it is. If you want to have an incredible dining experience, you need to stop in. Our waiter was Don and he did an absolutely perfect job. The hostess greeted us immediately with a pleasant smile and a very polite and professional attitude. Our waiter Don was Very attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable about the specials and everything on the menu. I can’t say enough about our experience. What a reward. Thank you to the family for having such a great place. A+ all across the board!!!!“

“I love coming here, the people are so nice. The food is made with good quality, fresh ingredients. I just recently ordered the Pilich Salad, and it was wonderful. Chicken and bacon cooked perfectly. I'm drooling, still thinking about that house dressing. Mmmm, I'll be back.“

“Nice local spot with affordable prices ! Small cozy place . So best to get there a little early so you don’t have to wait for a seat . My service was fast and attentive. All the workers are really friendly . I got the Greek French Toast with whip cream . I recommend the Hash Browns . The other dish I shared was the Hobo Skillet . I really enjoyed the cut up potato’s in the dish . Going to come back for lunch next time to try the Sloppy Joe’s . This is a cash only place and they only stay open till 2pm .“

“Very fairly priced hotdogs, polish, burgers and more. There is a nice drink choice with import, domestic, and local area favorites. You have multiple burger choices. There is a wondering, fish and chips, and other choices. Service was stellar. On a Saturday night the restaurant was full. Parking is a little challenging, but does rotate spaces in a timely manner.“

“This place is great, affordable and the food was delicious. Our waitress was very kind and served us well. Our Daughter enjoyed her mottsacholli "she calls it" My chicken salad was very good and my wife enjoyed her breakfast skillet. Can't wait for the next rain day so we can come back!Kid-friendliness: Our server was very kind“

“New Horizon is a throw back, homey place that rarely disappoints! Friendly staff, great food at a reasonable price, extensive menu that has something sure to please everyone. George is the very hard working owner who makes fabulous homemade soup and bakes all the delicious bread. I have never brought anyone there who was disappointed.Parking: Large parking lot with handicapped spotsKid-friendliness: Great kids menu.“

“I just got off the phone with Migele from the Evergreen Park store and had some issues with my order. I'm severely handicapped and asked for curbside pickup, and also a change to the order. Migele was very accommodating and did a great professional job. And my sister said that the pizza was very good. Thanks again Miguel ?“

“Ordered a small thin crust from uber eats juss being lazy & not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Pizza sauce is very tasty, wish I had ordered it on the side for dipping my pizza in. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and it was cooked Just how I like it. I will definitely order from here again. The only thing I didn't like was that my pizza wasn't sealed in any type of way to prevent it from being tampered with while it was being delivered. Maybe perhaps some stickers to prevent the box from being open, or put the pizza in a paper bag then staple it up at the end. Otherwise very good pizza.“

“Fry the coop easily has one of if not the BEST chicken sandwiches out there right now. The seasoned fries are also absolutely amazing. The reason I leave the three stars instead of five in service is because of how unfair the takeout is. SIDENOTE: I have no problems with the workers at all. These are the bags they are told to fill so they do it. The workers here are great people. I have come to this location for years (since roughly the second week of it’s opening) and the last few times I’ve ordered take out, the serving of fry’s has been SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the amount of fries you get if you dine in. I get it, it’s just fries, BUT if I’m going to pay roughly eighteen dollars for the same meal I should receive the same amount someone who is dining in receives. The photos include ALL the fries that came with the order (I took the fries out of the bottom of the bag as well and put them in there).TL;DR: great food, takeout portion of fries is MUCH smaller yet still fully priced“

“This place is amazing. We came here for my daughter’s birthday and one they went all out for her. I highly recommend this place. Michelle was our server and she was super sweet. This place is great. And we visited from Minnesota which made it extra special they all went out of there way. Thank you.“

“Came in to watch a March Madness game, got seats at the bar right away. Service by Amanda was top notch-she was very attentive without being too aggressive. Food was delicious! Highly recommend the friend pickles and the gyro trash sandwich. Natural cut fries are the best!“

“I loved my meal so much that I had to immediately sit down and write this place a review. I had the crispy steak crispy mix with fries and and drink, and it was worth every single penny. It was around $15, which, when places like McDonald's want $13 for a Big Mac meal, there's really no point in NOT paying the extra $2 for something that tastes this amazing. The person (i'm assuming owner) who took my order was kind and friendly, I felt welcome. You'd be surprised how many places fail at that. The flavors and aroma coming from my food were out of this world, and I won't be forgetting this place anytime soon. They really offer that Chicago flavor and menu right here in Oak Forest.“

“Holy smokes this place is incredible. We never order catering and was told to try their chicken salad and strawberry salad + wraps. We were wow'd by everything and caved. Had a variety of items for a Bridal Shower and couldn't say better things about the quality/taste. Incredible! Highly recommend (-:“

“Food was excellent - I highly recommend the fresh fruit crepes. My hubby had a great skillet. Services's was the best- quick, accurate, pleasant. We had t been here since the expansion. Price was very competitive with surrounding competitors.“

“We started with an irish roll filled with corned beef,cabbage, and cheese, followed by a beef soup very filling, luch time i got the celtic charming sandwich smoked butt,onions, mushrooms,cheese, i just eat half a lot of meat, very please i will comeback.“

“We eat here weekly. The pizza is the best in the Southland. The bar has a "Cheers" vibe where all are welcome. Pizza is half off on Tuesday and every one in town knows that's the best dinner option! Don't take my word for it, you really must try it out!“

“Horse Thief impressed me with its outstanding service and flavorful chicken salad. From warm greetings to attentive staff, every moment was enjoyable. The chicken salad was perfectly cooked and paired with fresh ingredients. A must-visit for anyone in the area! Beverly staple! Best in the neighborhood.“

“Wonderful low-key place with great food and even better service! The chicken and Chicago dog did not disappoint and the prices can't be beat. Just make sure to bring cash as it's cash-only. The couple that owns/operates it is seriously the sweetest!“

“The only reason I’m leaving a 4 is because of the ladies restroom. Plenty of soap, no paper towel, and the air dryer was not up to par. There’s a slip and fall risk because of where the sink is in relation to where the hand dryer is. Lots of water on the floor, and the floor is slick. Otherwise, the food was great, and our server was amazing, I think her name was Tiffany. Great menu suggestions and very personable! I’ll definitely be back!“

“Look the food here is great. I had the grilled chicken sandwich, the steak bites, tater tots, and my wife had the shrimp basket with the corn. Everything was delicious. The bartender was awesome. The vibe was great. PLEASE GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY!!! They have 1/2 off well drinks during happy hour and boy did I leave happy!!“

“30-35 & OLDER LOUNGE!! Very lively and fun!!! Remember to call or ask about the certain events for each day of the week (they do have a certain dress code on certain days). GO EARLY!!!! The earlier the better because it can get crowded in the lounge. Food can also be bought here too while having a drink. I enjoy myself here everytime, so this is a nice place to try❤️“

“De Mar's in Blue Island, IL is a must-visit for anyone in the mood for classic American diner fare. The restaurant has a cozy, old-school feel that instantly transports you to a simpler time. Every time I sit down in a booth it makes me feel like i can talk about nothing, (a Seinfeld reference). The menu is full of classic diner dishes, from hearty breakfast options to juicy burgers and sandwiches to homemade soups and salads. I particularly enjoyed the Tuna melt, which was perfectly put together with just the right amount of cheese and tune on white bread. The French toast was also excellent, with a soft and fluffy texture that melted in my mouth. But if you want the traditional, just order the all American breakfast, 2 sunny side up eggs with hash browns and two slices of bread, along with a cup of coffee. Everything is delicious. The staff at De Mar's are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They were quick to offer suggestions on what to order and were always on hand to refill drinks or answer any questions. The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. There is plenty of seating, so you won't have to wait long to be seated, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend De Mar's to anyone looking for a traditional American diner experience. So if you are in the area of Blue Island this restaurant It's a gem, that I plan on returning to in the future.“

“We have ordered turkey burgers with sweet potato fries for several consecutive weeks, and each time we have not been disappointed.In addition, today we ordered the fish taco platter, the rail splitting pasta, and the white bean chicken chili. Our meals were delicious. Seasoned just right. Everything was fresh, tasty and we had plenty to eat.More importantly, the hostesses at the front desk (“Grace,” “Lyric,” and the beautiful lady with the reddish below-the-shoulder-length hair were all professional, pleasant and kind.Well done to all. Thank you.“

“Very friendly staff, Lulu was as sweet as can be! I very much appreciate a server who is so genuine and attentive. In general the food options are pretty good, but - I have many friends who are vegan or vegetarian. It's hard to find a place that offers any unique options for them Having a disappointed friend always detracts from a lunch date (A soup or another cooked veggie option would be surprising and delightful!).They were also out of the poppyseed dressing that really makes the salad it's for, that was another 2 friends slightly disappointed. We all did enjoy the tea options! Please get some more peach in stock soon :)Vegetarian options: There is a veggie wrap, does have feta cheese and ranch. It would be really nice to see a few more vegetarian/ vegan options, veggie wraps seem like the default option for every restaurant.“

“I found this restaurant on Restaurant.Com and have been wanting to check it out for years! I met a friend and we tried perogies and split a chicken sandwich. Both were delish. My son ordered the garlic burger and fries to go and said it was really good. While we waited for to go order, we had apple and cinnamon cheese blintz with a mixed scoop of fresh ice cream. I was stuffed! The staff was great and I will be back!!“

“Really like this joint! Be careful on the heat level you choose cause anything past medium isn't for the faint of heart. Food cooked fresh to order (which is what I expect and adore), good beers, good customer service. Should make tender Tuesday permanent, at least for 1 Tuesday a month. Keep frying that coop baby!“

“Very cool environment, just went there before Christmas with work buddies. Tara was our bartender, she was a great time & took care of all our needs. Annie was another bartender there that was super social & absolutely awesome to talk to. I'd highly recommend this place for a great social experience & high energy good time!“

“My first time here and it was a nice time. We didn't get to do a wine tasting but we ended up sitting and sharing a couple bottles which was more than enough. Food was good even if i thought the portions were kind of small. Bringing someone with a wine club membership helped a lot with free bottles and the overall price.“

“The team of them made me smile after a very hard day working. I was at the brink of crying when the person answered the phone for my order. She was so nice and her boss heard I was having a tough day. He said, "Your order is going to be special, I promise." It was the BEST dinner. He said I needed some comfort food. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravyDELICIOUS!!!!!!!“

“Long time local resident and it's our favorite "fast" food. Usually call the order in and pick up is fast and easy! The Greek salad is our go-to, always fresh and large for some leftovers the next day! Gyros are fresh and always willing to add some extra yummy sauce. The menu is pretty large so be sure to check it all out.“

“Tytee created an amazing atmosphere! She was kind, attentive and had an amazing attitude! She greeted us with a smile & didn’t stop smiling the entire time we were here. Tyree was the best! 10/10 service! I will absolutely return to Coopers Hawk specifically because of Tytee’s service!“

“Amazing little old school grill. Owned by a super sweet and nice older couple that know how to cook and serve.It's old world charm. With great food, cooked to order, at a great price.The locals know about this place. It's a must stop if your in town and need a quick, good, lower priced food options.Dine in is a bit small, but takeout is great, and they deliver.“

“Amazing sports bar! Eric was our “best” bartender with his amazing hospitality and continuous conversation. He was on top of his game with making sure we were taken care of. He truly cared about the conversations he had with us and his guests. The food was great quality and served appropriately. Only if all owners/bartenders could be like Eric, life would be great!“

“Phenomenal staff, best steak I've had in ages (they actually know how to do a proper medium; a vanishing feat these days, completely melts in your mouth). Italian Beef sliders were delicious and disappeared in about 30 seconds. Brought the crab cakes, wedge salad and grilled salmon back for my wife and they were all gone in about 10 minutes despite feeding a fussy baby at the same time. The butterscotch espresso martini is a decadent treat you can't skip. My only critiques are that as a whole, the prices are a bit steep, the space is small and probably not great for a large group, and the tomatoes in the Caprese were disappointingly bland. But if you're looking to spoil yourself and/or someone close to you, this is an excellent venue for it.“

“Food was good but we drove a long way to eat there their seating inside is. Very limited. They had only like 10 tables for 2 that was disappointing and then their ice machine was broken for drinks. We did get one table in one room and the other couple we were with was in the other room.“

“First time there and babyyyyyy, it was fire! If you want homemade delicious food come here. Don’t waste your money on ihop?‍?! Kids menu it’s all gf the chain. My daughter don’t eat but she ate the whole entire plate. I love they had different meat options cause I don’t eat pork! We ate breakfast, but we will be back for fish fry Fridays.“

“I had a great experience at Janosik Banquets on April 28, 2024.We, as a group of some 15 diners, were placed in a small room with two big round tables to commemorate the life of our dear friend.The menu consisting of cucumber salad, sauerkraut, potato wedges, chicken rolls, beef, delicious ice cream were so appealing to us as most of us have Slavic roots.The setting, decoration, accommodations, and the friendliness of the hosts was outstanding!“

“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!“

“Love this place - and sitting at the bar. Al is a great guy and bartender. Food is really good - like the live music and the clientele who all seem friendly. Avocado and shrimp toast appetizer is the best.Parking: Huge overflow lot in the back.“

“Still as rough and old school as I remember it for 45 years. Took my mom for her 92 birthday. Try the bananas foster. Inside joke. But will be back to harass the crabby, loveable bartenders. Tuesday is fried chicken day. Reserve your spot.“

“A friend brought me here for the first time, specifically for the pot roast dishes. I had the Flatbread and it is delicious! It is a bar, and has limited space, but for 2 of us at lunchtime we had the whole back room that was quiet. Cici was super nice and attentive. We very much enjoyed our visit.“

“La Cocina Jaliscience is a great place to visit for a casual bite to eat. It's very informal but that's not a detractor. I always love their tacos and cheese quesadillas, and the burritos are very good as well. My wife tried the flautas this time and said they were good as well. My only comment is that I don't prefer their method for serving salsa with the delicious chips because it comes in what I can best describe as breakfast restaurant tabletop syrup pourers and I've always found it to be messy and also strange and invariably amongst whoever accompanies me to dine-in here the conversation always involves a laugh/bewilderment about the condiments being served in syrup jars.“
