New American Restaurants near Midlothian, IL

“Catered Easter dinner from Bella Mia and everything was exceptional - the food and the wonderful customer service. We will definitely be ordering again.“

“The Griffin Museum of Science and Industry was an amazing experience with something memorable around every corner. The Spider-Man exhibit was a lot of fun, and the storm and airplane simulations made the science feel hands-on, exciting, and real.

The human specimen exhibition was not something I am into but it is interesting.

Another major highlight was walking through the full-sized United Airlines Boeing 727. It was especially meaningful to learn that the aircraft honors Captain William Norwood, United’s first Black pilot, and reflects the important legacy of Black achievement and representation in aviation. We visited during a Black pilots convention in August, along with a pilot there for the conference, which made that connection even more powerful and inspiring.

This museum blends interactive science, history, innovation, and powerful stories in a way that keeps visitors engaged. Definitely a five-star visit and well worth the time.“

“I couldn’t find any other place with lamb chops like they cook them here. They’re so juicy and buttery good. I def recommend the food and the portions are up to par with price. I love the staff here they’re all so friendly, my waitress here was Jess, she’s such a friendly young lady. She’s attentive and she brought the food hot and ready, our drinks were amazing too! I love the customer service here. Over all good restaurant and staff. 10/10 would recommend. I can’t wait to bring my family again“

“Trails Edge did an amazing job hosting my husband's birthday party this weekend. We had a large crew, and they worked very hard to make sure everyone was well served. The food and drinks were great, the service was extraordinary, and the vibe was perfect. Thank you all (especially Jackie and Brianna) for taking care of us and allowing us to truly celebrate a milestone birthday! Thank you!“

“We recently visited for my bday on 5/31. The decor is beautiful and the service was stellar! Everyone was attentive and friendly. Our hibachi chef was amazing. He was extremely entertaining and super accommodating. He made our hibachi dinner experience the best we have ever had. The food was perfect and great portion sizes. My son even ordered Spider rolls and said they were amazing! My two teens and 1yr old enjoyed it immensely! Thank you all for the great celebration. We will be back for sure!!! Highly recommend to all!!“

“My husband and I have been coming to the Wine Thief consistently (and probably far too often, lol) for the last five years and it’s still our favorite place in the Frankfort area! Michelle has been a fantastic resource for trying new wines - she even got me hooked on my absolute favorite rosé from Matthiason! She always makes sure she says hi and makes a recommendation when she sees us, even if she’s not our server. Tim has also been an amazing addition to the team here!“

“One of the all time best in Chicago and knowing the owner is big on my list“

“We were a pretty large group with tons of kids under 5. Everyone was so kind to us and our kiddos. The food was delish as were the drinks! We had a minor hiccup with in the group and management was MORE THAN gracious and kind in fixing / making up for it.“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

“Very clean bar. Italian beef sandwich and Sicilian pizza was delicious. Bar staff seems to be very friendly. There is quite a lack of parking at this facility. There was only three people in the bar. Went on a Monday before 4th of July 2024.

I did hear they have karaoke on the weekend so hopefully I'll be able to check that out very soon.

If you have an opportunity I would definitely check out Cuzin's.“

“The food and waitstaff were excellent and the portions were HUGE! Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend“

“Nice people and great food!“

“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.“

“I like this place-we came at 8:20 pm for a half hour or so of fun. Quick and simple. Ten minutes after arriving we were harassed about them closing at 8:50 pm. Website says 9. Literally reminded maybe ten times no exaggeration about them closing. We didn’t want to redeem tickets just play a few games. Very frustrating and ruined our short quick fun for my kid.“

“The mother's day event here was nice. It got off to a slow start but once in full swing it turned out to be very nice. There was live entertainment. This was my first time here. The catering was absolutely delicious. It's located in downtown Park Forest and there is plenty of parking.“

“took the family here today! food was awesome , place was clean and the server was very friendly! we were very pleased and will be back“

“I came twice on two separate occasions and the food was excellent both times. I’ve only had an Italian beef, and mozzarella sticks from here. The mozzarella sticks were ok, but they were cold when they got to me so I haven’t tried them fresh from the store. The Italian beefs never disappoint. I only come for a beef when I want a good one.“

“I very much recommend this place to go for dinner! It’s very nice and cool on the inside. Yummy food, great desserts, great staff. 10/10 rating.“

“I have only been to this restaurant once. From the outside it looks like its barely hanging on. It needs some sprucing on the outside. The interior though is classic and traditional. It has an interior that Bronzeville's Pearls Place could really use and space that Valois in Hyde Park really needs. I can also recall how good the pancakes were. I can't say much about anything else. It's been a while. My hope is that they could clean up and modernize the outside. For this they may need an infusion of cash. I believe the outside is where the business falls off a bit I mean you wouldn't even think it was open for business. Its the only place worth eating at in the whole 8th ward. The area is filled with junk food options and it's a shame. I will be back soon.“

“Food was great ,people were informative and friendly“

“Awesome food and service!“

“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!“

“This place is the freaking BOMB!! The bar tenders are so on point and awesome that I wish I could stay there forever!! Go there or be square.“

“Did a staycation for NYE and had brunch at South Side Social. The mimosas weren't bad and the buffet was somewhat limited. I want to visit again because their lunch/dinner meal has some appeal. They provide the food for the bar and the pizza and Buffalo shrimp were very good! We had extra cheese on the pizza but it wasn't necessary as the toppings were hearty and tasty. No food pics this time but I do want to revisit.“

“Great food and service for our son’s graduation party. Easy to order, delivered on time and plenty of food! Loved the meatballs and pasta, big hit.“

“It is a beautiful venue that I have had many champagne brunches at for the past 20 years. The food and service is great. I knock a star because the gratuity is gigantic. On top of that the waitress was demanding for a large cash only tip. I understand policies and working to provide for your family. What I don’t understand is since when are the workers allowed to think that they are entitled to your bank account?! When you act like that you don’t get any tip from me. Usually, I have exceptional service and tip. Maybe attitudes are why the gratuity is automatically sky high these days.“

“I had a birthday party on 8/29/2024 at Privilege. It was simply amazing. I just love how the staff are so pleasant and engage with the customers. The entire vibe was amazing. Maurice is great to work with when scheduling events. The venue is very clean. They now have a outdoor area for people which looks beautiful. The food was delicious. My guests raved about Privilege. Job well done!“

“Great place to watch sports“

“Papa Dimitri our food was DELICIOUS tonite. the wings, of course, ate my fave, but your gyros are THE BEST. your son and his fiance are THE BEST. thank you so much!!“

“The rice bowl chicken and shrimp are Awesome! The food was seasoned well and prepared fresh and the rice was perfectly cooked. The chicken kabobs and shrimp were also served well with this special sauce on the fries and they prepared everything just like I wanted it. I will be returning again.“

“Great food and Great service! Thank you for serving us through the Pandemic! You're much appreciated!“

“I had the gyro double cheeseburger. the flavor was great however, the burger itself was a tad bit overcooked. That made the burger a little dry but it was still a decent meal.“

“Today was my second time at this restaurant. I love shrimp alfredo, this place have everyother restaurant BEAT! Great customer service and there was plenty meat in my chicken and shrimp alfredo. I want to order something else on the menu...but scared I'll get ADDICTED!“

“Always friendly staff! Have the best mozz sticks in town!“
