“Great food and fun!“

“They have the best cheeseburger in Chicago. I went there in 2012, and 2013 on Kedzie, and omg it’s the best. I used to live in Highland Indiana and I took public transportation which it was GPTC bus to Downtown Hammond, and pace bus from Downtown Hammond Indiana to Downtown Harvey Illinois, and pace 349 from Harvey Transportation Center to 111th and Western, and CTA Route #112 bus from 111th and Western to 111th and Kedzie. Well now since I finally move to Chicago Auburn Gresham with my fiancé, and now I live 15 minutes away. I take 79th Street bus from 79th and Ashland to 79th and Kedzie, and transfer to CTA Route #52A Southbound and go all way to 111th and Kedzie. I’m even more glad you guys reopened which I had no idea where you guys relocated at Thanks to my friend Tracy for telling me where it is. I went there with my fiancé Raymon. I’m so glad you guys are amazing, and the service was great too. I’ll be back. This place is even very affordable.“

“Pretty good menu. Lots of grilled cheeses and at first I was skeptical but it really is flavorful. My favorite monthly sandwich I wish could be turned into a standard sandwich is the cubano. Loaded tots are also very good.“

“love coming here when I'm home! beers, bears games and friends“

“It was a fun time I had a wonderful day“

“Absolutely love this place!! I had been bragging to my daughters about the food and service for months. When I finally got them together we went and the girls were very happy with this choice. The food was excellent and the service was wonderful! We’ve decided this was our go to place to eat!“

“We really enjoy the food plus the prices are very reasniable . We have tried almost everything on the menu and have enjoyed it all. Blake is an excellent bartender and host who makes you feel at home. He has a friendly personality and always has a smile on his face. Megan is a wonderful waitress who is friendly and outgoing. Best of all she makes us feel special because she always remembers what we like best. The owner (Roger) is a great person and always greets us with a big smile. He makes us feel like we are always welcome. We highly recommend BJ's for a nice evening out I'd you are in the Oak Lawn area. joel/Roy“

“Friendly staff. Delicious food. Quesaberria tacos, avacado burger & jalapeño poppers are top notch. Lots of screens to enjoy big games.“

“Food was great very nice inside great party room also!!!“

“Great food and drinks, amazing staff and the music was off the chain!!!!! Watched an NBA playoff game here and the energy was electric....The game was broadcast inside and out and I was able to smoke my cigar on the outside patio. Monday night delight.“

“Thank you for being a proud sponsor of our youth sports program in 2024“

“The tacos are small, authentic and delicious. Good enough for me to order two to go. Except they didnt make my to-go tacos the same. It had too much cheese. The host/bartender/waitress did not speak English and most of the food on the menu didnt exist. I wanted chicken quesadillas and she shook her head no. I wasn't sure if she didn't have chicken quesadillas or no quesadillas at all. I asked about other items on the menu and she smiled and frowned at the same time. So I ordered chicken tacos to simplify things. It took a lot to get her attention. She gravitated to the guys in my party. Little did she know, they weren't paying or tipping. The classic margarita with the red margarita salt was delicious. Lastly, there was a couple dinning at a table near by filming me and my friends. I'll be fine if I don't revisit this restaurant.“

“This was my first time to Natural Law. The food is amazing and the service was top notch“

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

“A great addition to Oak Lawn. Chill weekend spot with live music and great tasting mixed drinks. Vibe is good for middle age people like me and hubby. But I have yet to try their food“

“Great burger an fries great price an atmosphere!“

“Had the pleasure of hosting my first baby shower here a few weeks back, and despite the covid issues we were still able to pull off an amazing party! With the help of the owner Jessica! Everything was wonderful, plenty of space for guests to keep a social distance, bar option available, a nice stage and Dj booth for music. Everything was very clean and modern. Jessica even helped us get decorated and set up. I couldn't have asked for a better venue! Everything turned out beautifully! Thank you City Limits! We will definitely be returning soon“

“very nice atmosphere. friendly staff but the food meh deuces sports bar is way better food“

“Great place to watch a game, grab a bite and play some slots !!!!!“

“Had a wonderful lunch for a monthly retired teacher group. Joe and Vicki gave us the room in the back. Our meals were fantastic and Paige, our server, was wonderful! We were celebrating a 70th birthday and we were treated to several amazing desserts. The service was above and beyond our expectations. We booked our Christmas party here in December.“

“In the words of Toby Keith “I love this bar”…. One of my favortie places to have a beer and catch up with friends. When the weather is nice, the back patio is a bonus👍🏽👍🏽…Bartenders are awesome, the regulars are cool and even the bouncer was on point.😆“

“Not a bad place. Music is good and the staff was friendly. The drinks weren't watered down.
Seating can be an issue. They have booths that say reserved but if the bar is taken up I usually sit there with no problems with staff unless someone is having a party.
Had chicken wings and the seasoning wasn't bad but we could tell it was cooked in fish grease. Maybe they dont do this every night but they did last night.“

“Well, if they cook your food properly, it's not bad... however, if they don't and you need to send it back to cook it (not a fan of raw burgers 🤷‍♀️) and it comes back the same way... be prepared to not eat and pay for the meal anyway. I asked for it to be removed from our bill (over $100 total so not just a couple things) and they removed it after a small "fight" but literally charged us for a basket of fries cuz I ate a few fries off my plate, I guess. they don't take care of their mistakes nor do they care to make things right. Lost future business, everyone at the table was shocked.“

“Great place, great people, good time!“

“Johns is a friendly, always reliable, brunch, lunch or dinner with good food, amazing desserts….(try the skillet cookie), and great service!“

“It was a cool little spot“

“Came here on taco Tuesday and Happy Hour and they didn’t disappoint. The bartender was also the server for all of the tables in the establishment and did she hustle! Very knowledgeable of the menu with questions I had.

On Tuesday it’s $2 steak or chicken tacos with cilantro, onion and cheese. It comes with a side of homemade salsa Verde and you can get pico de gallo for an extra fee. Domestic beers are $1.50 during happy hour from 3 to 6. With two beers, seven tacos and a side of pico the bill was $18. Well worth it.

Wednesday is half price pizza. This is a nice little local place with good food and drink options. If you’re in the area it’s worth a stop.“

“Food and Service outstanding We are glad we hire you guys for my retirement party“

“Good margaritas and good dry rub wings and shrimp the best!!“

“My family and I have been eating here for over a decade and the food has always been amazing. The hot wings are their specialty but they also offer a great variety of other foods. The people are always friendly and the food is always prepared on time.“

“Good people and great service!!!“

“Went for the first time last week. Got there while waiting for a friend. Word of mouth got me to the Cottage, and I was very impressed. The owner was a very friendly woman that was very knowledgeable about the bar itself, and I could tell she was very proud of her hard work and business.
The tap beer was fantastic, and I could tell the lines were clean because the beer was so fresh. We both had Reubens and they were how a Reuben should taste.
We will be back; I loved the vibe.“

“The Tin never disappoints! Great atmosphere and the bartenders are some of the best around. Try the burgers and the pizza! Perfect spot to catch up with friends and watch a game. Great for pool players!“

“Amazing Place . Maiya is the best .“

“Best Lil Dive on the Southside!“

“I was there recently and Hailey provided attentive service to our group. I loved their forbidden drink; which she recommended. Their food was tasty too!“

“Good vibes. Good blend between Retro and new age vibes. The music is lively. The service is excellent.

Parking: Lots of parking across the street - the parking lot is a bit bumpy but it's free and there is plenty of space“

“I just had another party at the alley bar and grill and all my guests complimented on the food, service and awesome atmosphere. I can't say enough about the event coordinators and their help and ideas to assure the party is a success. The waitresses were also the best. Thank you again Alley.“

“I went to the comedy show Sunday it was really nice the drinks was drinking da food was very good our waitress and waiter was good I recommend this place.“
