“everything. good sevice nicé“

“It was a beautiful experience. The waitress was very pleasant. The food was delicious“

“I had the best meal today at Hidden Manna Cafe.!! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! Our server was so sweet and welcoming. I highly recommend this Cafe and I will DEFINITELY, be going back!!“

“I usually trust Olive Garden because it’s a nationwide chain with very consistent food quality. We were driving from Chicago to central Illinois today, got hungry, saw this location along the way, and decided to stop.

The food itself was exactly what I expected from Olive Garden. The taste was consistent with every other location I’ve visited, so I have no complaints about the food.

Unfortunately, almost everything else was disappointing.

First, the restaurant wasn’t very clean. I know Olive Garden locations aren’t always spotless, but this one was noticeably worse. The tables, chairs, and even the utensils all felt like they could have been cleaned much more thoroughly.

Second, our bill was incorrect. We were charged for two dishes that we never ordered. Fortunately, the server corrected the mistake as soon as I pointed it out.

Third, the order of service was completely disorganized. Our entrees arrived before our drinks, and our salad and soup didn’t come until after the main courses. Normally, you would expect drinks first, then breadsticks, followed by salad and soup, and finally the entrees. The whole meal felt out of sequence.

Finally, the service was extremely slow. It took about 25 minutes before our server even came over to greet us. To be fair, the server himself was polite, apologized sincerely every time we mentioned an issue, and fixed the problems promptly. I don’t blame him personally—it seemed more like a management or staffing issue than an individual employee problem.

Overall, the food met the Olive Garden standard, but the cleanliness, billing error, slow service, and disorganized dining experience made this one of the weaker Olive Garden locations I’ve visited.“

“Love everything on the menu I love the new addition The grain bowels“

“I've been wanting to go to this restaurant because I heard so much about it.So I had my son take me. The food was okay, very overpriced. they have a special from 3 to 6. The only way you find out is when you go in the bathroom and look at the wall, the advertisement. tacos are from $5-7 dollars. 😒“

“I ordered the avocado chicken curry with rice! It was absolutely delicious. Very flavourful. Just perfect. My friend got the avocado mac and cheese. I tasted it and loved that too. The portions are large and we brought some home. We got the avocado cheesecake cup for desert and wow! Yummy yummy yummy. They have a kids menu too! I will be a regular customer in the future. You have to try this place!“

“Excellent fresh home cooked food!! And so many Vegan options it was almost too hard to choose! Thank you for a lovely lunch with my girls. We will be back for sure.“

“The food and service were outstanding. We ate there on Saturday and came back to eat again on Sunday because it was so good.“

“Was recommended this restaurant from a friend. The maple tree and did not disappoint. Made a reservation online easy. Their menu is awesome, simple and delicious. Crab cake was perfect! Our dinner was fantastic. We had trout and shrimp. They have the best banana pudding over crème brûlée. The coffee for an end cap was out of this world good!“

“excellent food and service“

“Fantastic food, service & staff as always. Always going above & beyond for ya“

“I had brunch here today with a friend, first time here. I had the corned beef benedict and not only was it the best corned beef I've ever had in my life, but the orange juice was amazing, the service was great, and the value was fabulous also! Will definitely be back and plan to possibly go once a week with friends! 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“In my opinion the best breakfast I’ve ever ate!!!! 5 stars“

“I have been coming to this restaurant since I was a little girl with my mom. I absolutely love this restaurant. 10/10 always❣️❣️❣️❣️“

“Coming here is my favorite treat every weekend. Over time we have gotten yo know the boss and workers. Everyone there is very friendly and up beat. I have been going through some hardship in life ,but when I come here it is all forgotten. I have to mention that the food is excellent and made with the freshest ingredients.“

“I am recommending the restaurant based on past experiences at previous location. Even though the service was slow, the food was delicious and the man who served us had a great attitude. However, this new location is closer to my house and I would be a frequent customer if they would ever answer the phone. I called both numbers on this page. One is out of service the other never gets answered. I want to see this restaurant succeed. It is Black owned and I want to support it. Please update your number on Facebook to the correct number that will get answered. Until I am able to call to place an order, I will place my order at Daisy's Cafe 2 in Hazel Crest. It's a longer drive, but They always answer their phone.“

“Server forgot to place our order with the kitchen. After telling us our meal would be out in a couple of minutes he re-took our order. The meal was not expedited so it took a total of 50 minutes for two entrees to come out of the kitchen. We should have had clear communication after we repeated our order for so we could relax while we waited. Food was good, and dessert was free.“

“Thanks for the vegan offerings. My family and I enjoyed our meals very much. Super tasty!!!“

“I love the service, everyone knows their stuff and if they recommend something ..... listen to them..“

“I worked here for 6 months and the owners had me fired for talking Spanish to the cooks! VERY discriminatory!!!💯 Customers BEWARE of what type of establishment you are supporting when dining here!💯“

“Wanted to try something and stumbled across this! Absolutely delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely be back!“

“My daughter took me there for my birthday, Awesome is all I have to say the owner and staff were so accommodating . Good Food good vibes. This was my first time and I will be back!!!!“

“All around great food, great atmosphere..“

“Their beer cheese soup is amazing! I had it at Gordon Ramseys place downtown and the soup here is better! It’s worth a trip just for that and the bread and better alone!“

“الاكل ممتاز والمحل نظيف والاستقبال ممتاز ربنا يوسع عليكم“

“Great shakes, best I’ve ever had. I don’t even have a membership but I’ll always make sure to stop by for a shake. The sea moss they carry is a great bonus too.Favorite thing about the place is how nice each employee is and how personal they are.“

“If ever there was a place which resonates the Billy Joel song “Scenes from an Italian restaurant “ This place is IT! Visited for the first time on 2/14/26. The aroma as we entered was so inviting. Met the owners/ daughter and mom. So very sweet and funny too. Our server was Candy. She was working very hard on a busy Valentine’s Day. I had the lasagna and I can honestly say it was the best lasagna I’ve ever had in my life! The ricotta filling was so whipped and light. It was just delightful and so delicious. The bomba ice cream was scrumptious! Cannot wait to return to this gem of a restaurant!! 🇮🇹“

“A friendly cashier, professional cooks,clean dining area, self serve drinks, we ordered cheeseburgers & fries cooked perfect!! Only thing I wished I would of checked the specials BOGO milkshakes in Sept. would've tried 1!!!!“

“First time and customer service was great. Helped us figure out the process for ordering. It's different,lol. Sandwiches were great, maybe a little smaller piece of bread but they fill it up. We'll go back.“

“Get the fruity pebbles cone! You won't regret it!“

“Best place to eat in Chicago! I started going there when the owner became a client of the company I was working for in the mid-90s, setting up cash registers in the restaurant he opened for his nephew. I no longer live in Chicago, but make it a point to stop there and speak with the owner every chance I get. Always great food and exceptional service! You may have to wait in line, though. Understandably, it's a very popular place!“

“Very friendly service! Was able to sample some of the food items ( Thanks Souna!, forgive the misspelling) Food is very fresh and the large Kabob plate is delicious and very plentiful. Love the Falafel and the Kibbeh was good. Really good is the Arabic pizza the cheese and grilled veggie one. I will be returning!“

“The staff is always amazing. The atmosphere is great. Food is good. Beer is good.“

“My favorite spot for a bite to eat!“

“Nice people and great food!“

“Cute little restaurant that you might miss from the street if you didn't know it was there. The booth was comfortable and the service was good. I got a frozen strawberry margarita and it was a good size for the price and very tasty. Their fresh guacamole was delicious! I could almost have made a meal out of that. I got an asada burrito suiza. It was almost 12 inches long and stuffed with meat. The asada was tender and had very good flavor, obviously seasoned well. I could only eat half. I got the dinner, so it came with rice and beans. I loved the beans. They were extremely light and creamy. My husband loved them as well. He got the chicken and shrimp fajitas, which he really enjoyed. Had to take a lot home because the plate was filled almost to overflowing. He said the seasoning on the fajitas was very good and it came with guac that I don't think extra. My stepmom got a burrito bowl, which she really enjoyed. My dad got the shrimp with chipotle crema. He said it was very good. It came with tortillas to make tacos out of if you wanted. He was just eating the shrimp in the delicious sauce all on its own. Overall, very enjoyable dinner and we will definitely go back!“

“GO RIGHT NOW!!!
i had the combo--
One was the buffalo chicken & the other was the spinach empanada.
Both were awesome.
I had the habanero sauce with it-- wow!
My service was great and the young lady behind the counter was helpful & friendly!
I will be coming back soon!“

“Love love LOVE place the pho I’m so addicted to and every week I’m here There is younger me with glasses always so nice smiles and always pleasant and knows exactly what I wanted every time I come 10 stars check it out“

“Try the BNY..Best Sandwich ever“

“First time here and we had a great experience. Had wine tasting and a delicious meal served by a wonderful waitress. They have beautiful glass ware in the store as well as delicious wines to purchase. We will definitely come back again.“

“This is my third time eating at Pita Pita. and I keep coming back for a reason! The first time, I had just the falafel, and it was the biggest—and best-tasting—falafel I’ve ever had. Every bite was packed with seasoning, and compared to other places in the area, this one stands out as the absolute best. On my second visit, I tried the mixed lunch, and it was simply delicious. The variety of meats, the creamy garlic sauce, and the refreshing salad with a hint of mint made for a healthy yet satisfying meal. The presentation was just as impressive as the flavors. Now, here I am again—two days in a row! Yesterday, I had lunch, and today, I’m back for dinner. This time, I ordered the mixed dinner, six falafels, and a side of that incredible garlic sauce. As I sit in my car taking photos of my meal, I can’t help but feel pure happiness. Five stars all around for both the food and the customer service! Pita Pita has officially earned my Golden Seal of Approval Award 🏆.“

“Had a wonderful brunch at Olive Garden with my daughter today! ❤ The food was great, but what truly made our visit special was the outstanding customer service.

A huge thank you to our wonderful server, Sandra, who was so kind, attentive, and genuinely sweet throughout our meal. We also want to recognize Zaid at the front desk, whose warm welcome and friendly attitude made our experience even better from the moment we walked in.

Excellent customer service like yours makes all the difference. Thank you both for making our brunch so enjoyable—we truly appreciate you!“

“I had an amazing experience at Batter & Berries! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. The food was outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared. One standout you absolutely cannot miss is their homemade hot sauce. It has the perfect balance of heat and flavor and takes the meal to a whole new level. If you’re looking for a spot with delicious food, top, tier service, and a memorable house made touch, Batter & Berries is definitely worth the visit. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Always a fun experience! Delicious food!“

“Tandoori Indian Food Was Fantastic And Outstanding. I went for the first time with a Girlfriend. I Enjoyed My Curry Chicken with Basmati Rice. The Owner Was Very Friendly And Accommodating. Please forgive me for accidentally hitting a 1 star. I meant to give Tandoori A 5 Star Rating. I will Recommend Tandoori To My Family and Friends. I Will Definitely Be Returning, For The Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, And A Salad.“
