“First time coming here. Our server was Shane. That boy needs a raise! Best server we've had yet. As pescataririans we frequent different restaurants depending on what we have a taste for. We never had a place to order salmon ....until now. It was made to perfection with a tastefully made dill sauce.“

“The food is tasty and not too pricey. The place feels comfortable and has a nice vibe. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Overall, this restaurant delivers on all fronts: great food, fair prices, pleasant atmosphere, and excellent service. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Tonight we held a work meeting and ordered 2 family trays, everyone was working so hard when I picked up my order, even a little early, and they were all so friendly, helpful and this food was delicious! Thank you for doing such a great job for us!!“

“I’m not typically one to issue 5 star reviews. However, Buddy’z was on their A game on the night of 10/16/2025 and helped the wife and I celebrate our anniversary with two very tasty pizzas. We ordered a deep dish and a thin crust, both sausage, for delivery. Both pizzas were fantastic, had plenty of toppings, great taste, and they arrived quickly, despite having ordered a deep dish. It was actually a little nostalgic calling up a pizza place and placing an order. Not like these corporate pizza places that want everything done online via some Terminator on judgement day taking your order. Better yet? The woman who answered the phone knew what she was doing. I didn’t get the person on day 2 that was left alone on her own to hopefully survive.

I worked food service for almost 20 years in pizza so I know that everything just clicked last night. Now the only question that remains is consistency! Keep it up! We will see!

It all just gelled and it helped our anniversary be a great one.

Thanks buddyz. You’ll be seeing us again.“

“Y'all if you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, Zaza's Restaurant is an absolute hidden gem! 🍝 The portions are incredibly generous, and the flavors are out of this world. It's just a short 20-minute drive from our place, making it the perfect spot for a delicious meal. It's a local favorite, it’s only open on certain days, so plan accordingly! My boss is a huge fan of this place, and now I totally see why. Highly recommend! 🇮🇹 #HiddenGem #AuthenticItalian #ZazasRestaurant #FoodieFind Zaza's Steakhouse and Italian Eatery“

“i recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant that I felt compelled to share. I went there for dinner with my fiancée, mother, and our two young kids, ages 3 and 1. Initially, the dinner was fantastic; we were enjoying our time together and the food was great. However, after about an hour and 20 minutes, we were abruptly told we had to leave because of other reservations. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I still had my drink left, and we had just paid our tab As we were leaving, we encountered a manager and inquired about the situation. To our shock, she responded by asking if we knew how to read English, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. I pulled up my reservation online and nowhere does it say there was a time limit. To make matters worse, as we walked through the bar to exit, she followed my mother and physically shoved her three times. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any establishment, and it left a sour taste in what could have been a lovely evening. We called the cops to make a report as the manager "lucy" (she told me this was her name) should never be able to touch a customer. Especially since we were not refusing to leave AND my kids were there to witness it all. In the car my son kept asking why the lady pushed my mom . This shouldn't be something I need to answer as it never should have happened. She tried telling the cops she did not have the "intent" to hurt but to get us out . Yet we were not even refusing to leave...only letting her know it was rude as we still had stuff that was unfinished that we paid for. I understand that restaurants have to manage reservations, but there are respectful ways to handle these situations. Additionally, she left it up to the waiter to tell us we had to leave . I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision. And please , if you were in the bar / restaurant when this all happened , speak up on how wrong it was of her to push someone like that.“

“Our first time there and wow !Amazing food!Great service!The deep dish pizza, let me tell you how amazing that was!!Everything was just great!It's a far drive for us but we would definitely make that drive again to get that food!🙂“

“I never leave a 5 star review, but this place deserves it all the way around!!! The food was phenomenal, service was fantastic, and atmosphere is adorable!!! Do yourself a favor and go, but make sure to make a reservation!!“

“We found you guys years ago: your our favorite spot: Just tried your cauliflower pizza Omg it was fantastic!!!!!“

“We ordered a thin crust pizza with sausage, green pepper ,mushroom and onion! It was the best we have ever had. It was loaded with just the right amount of sauce! Ready for another!“

“Always a great meal! The pizzas are amazing and so are the salads. A must for everyone.“

“We love Rosati's of Lakemoor! Their thin crust pizza is delicious, they have great wings, and their salads are large and fresh....all the food we've ordered is really consistent. We especially love their pizza sausage—true Chicago style! We usually don't eat inside the restaurant, but the carry out service and delivery service is always on time. Highly recommend this Rosati's location!“

“the foid was good the bartenders friendly, on the spot and gave service with a smile! band was great! dance floor tight tho.“

“This is our go-to place for gluten-free pizza. As opposed to another popular nearby pizza place, the crust is actually fully baked. The GF crust is decent. Not as good as real crust, but better than others in the area. As with any GF pizza, I’d recommend eating it all the first night, as it’s never as good reheated.“

“It was a great visit for happy hour and our waitress Lani was the best ! She also made our drink in the bar and it was one of the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. We got 2 personal pizzas and meatballs for our appetizer. Great place to wind down after a busy day .“

“Great Italian beef sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Although I’ve never had one with bell peppers. That was a communication error on my part. I thought sweet peppers would mean banana peppers (which I prefer) but the sweet bell peppers were a treat just as well. Not a bad place for a quick lunch. It’s not fast food, it’s food prepared fast, and tasty.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND Placed an order for pick up. Fair timing for the order. Food was hot even after the drive. Tasted amazing. Whoever was cooking knew what they were doing. Double dough was soft and chewy. Italian beef egg rolls were fantastic. Garlic Parmesan nuggets were also delicious. Fair price for eating out in today’s world. ONLY COMPLAINT We originally called for delivery and were outside the range. 8.3 miles door to door. If the range were just a little bigger, Hebron would throw money at them. Still, I highly recommend. 10/10“

“Great Food, Service, TV’s and drinks!!!“

“DELISH!!!! The Chicago Classic is a MUST HAVE! And the service is great :-)“

“The food is always outstanding, but it's the people that truly make the experience exceptional. Every time I visit, I'm greeted with warmth and kindness. The staff goes above and beyond, especially when it comes to making my kids feel special. Their generosity and thoughtful service ensure that each visit is memorable and enjoyable.“

“Great pizza! Great service!“

“The best pizza I have ever had for years! 5 out of 5 stars recommendation!!! Yummy and I cannot stop eating.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰“

“I absolutely love the lasagna here but tonight it is especially good!!! Very cheesy and I added cheese to the garlic bread for this cheese-a-holic!!“
