“The food was great. Love the onion rings. The host on the other hand, told my sister that we had to move to a different seating because the seat we was sitting at originally is for more than two people. So we moved to a different seat. Two caucasian lady come in and sit at the same table we moved from and nothing at all was said to them. We later was told that we can seat ourselves, which makes this situation even more confusing. Why did the male host ask us to switch our seat???? Food: 5/5 | Service: 2/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5”

“Nice spot in Oak Lawn, food was very good, a bit on the pricier side, but it was fine. Server was very attentive and polite. Same with rest of staff. They were informative that bill comes with an automatic 20% gratuity. There is a surcharge on top of that, but receipt did state if it’s a problem, they can remove it. Definitely an experience, I’d say it’s worth a try”

“The employees here do such an amazing job at making sure their guests are satisfied. Shout out to Rochelle!! Rochelle cleans the heck outta this place and makes sure everything is sanitized after every person. She's awesome!! She's a great person to talk to and give the atmosphere of a cafe a whole new meaning. She makes it personal and cozy!!! Give her a raise!!”

“This cafeteria has something for everyone. Want coffee? Check. Tea? Check again, both from their Starbucks. There's a salad bar, a grill, a deli, a pizza station, and more! They even have a Grab & Go if you're in a hurry and you don't mind pre-made food. Café 95 is located in the East Tower.”

“My overall experience was fantastic. The music was great, the appetizers were appetizing, and the food was delicious, with generous portion sizes for the price. I will definitely be back.”

“The food was great. Presentation was great. I'm a very picky eater, but the food was great. I think the brussel sprouts were burned, so after a few tries, I gave it to someone else who thought the same. My baked potato was good. Maybe it could have used a little more sour cream. It was a bit dry. But the ingredients for the loaded potatoe were great. The shrimp appetizer was great. I wanted sooo bad to have the corn on the cob but I couldn't eat so much. The ribs were tender. I wish I could remember our server's name so I could give him a shout out because his service was magnificent. The atmosphere was very nice. I would definitely go out of my way to go here again and I would recommend it to others.”

“My waitress brought the food right away. Everything thereafter was basically subpar. I wasn't offered any extra napkins, and I waited longer than usual for a free refill.”

“My husband and I went for dinner in restaurant and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious, and the best part was that the chef Sergio sent us a dessert he had created that day.

The people working there were friendly and polite. We were definitely impressed.”

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.”

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.

“Absolutely the Best Breakfast. Don't be fooled by copycat name from another place. the one and only STACKED has only two locations. OakLawn & Crestwood.”

Service was exceptional, the waitresses were prompt and I was seated with no wait time.

The pancakes were fluffy and perfectly done.

Definitely an Oak Lawn hidden gem.”

“I come to the oak Lawn establishment quite often, but haven't been there in a while due to work commitments . I was in last week and as usual, I ordered with Bill at the cash register. He jokes with me as he knows what I like, but more importantly, he was genuinely concerned that I was ok because he hadn't seen me in some time. I always get 2 shack burgers, and a drink. He calls me tht best dressed man in the place as I still get dressed in a suit everyday to go into the office. Great sense of humor.”

“Worst customer service ever. A language barrier made them get my phone order wrong and they refused to fix it. I have had more than one issue on there part wrong and they never correct it. Never going back.”

“First time and service was great will return soon”

“I found a neighborhood gem in Oaklawn.! I was at Demma's Bar & Grill to play free bingo on Monday at 6 pm. The people are kind. The environment is for individuals who want to have fun and be stimulated by activities that you can engage in, such as pool, darts, slots, machines for gaming, and last bingo on Mondays. I ordered the patty melt w chips. The cost was $8 plus tax. I paid with a debit card.. Fifteen minutes later, the food was brought to my table by the cook Sue. The patty melt was made with butter grilled, rye bread , grilled onio.ns , and cheese. The taste was amazing! It is a husband and wife, family owned business. It is more than just a bar. The owners give to its communities by having free food on holidays and Chicago Bears games . In addition, they help sponsor an event called Big Bikes for Little Tykes helping kids with cancer. Last, this place has annual food drives for local churches and food pantries. This friendly environment is a great place to visit . In conclusion, every Tuesday and Friday is a free poker network for free Texas holder torments . Everyone is welcome!”

“I have gone here for decades. I was a little for when I first came here, and now I am middle aged. The owner ran outside to my van to see my kids and my husband because she remembers us as 19/20 year olds dating. She serves the best crab Rangoon and told us told us to order from the party trays to make sure our kids are fed. Very lovely lady and great food.”

“Nice relaxing atmosphere. The bartender Cassie was awesome! So attentive and friendly! Ihave been here off and on, but if the bartenders are like Cassie I will for sure come more often.”

“Philly's Cheese Steak is Fye”

“I love this location. Friendly, fast, and they always make a great sandwich.”
