“I'm visiting from out of town and popped in for my normal pick me up. Overall, the service was good. My only issue is that they didn't ask for my name. Other than that, the batistas seem friendly and appear to have a good flow getting the orders out.“
“I am sure that you will love to hear the story behind what is today La Malinche Coffee and Tea. And I think it's important to support local small businesses. BTW.. The apple Brie is my favorite panini there.. sweet and salty at the same time.“

“The best! I am so picky when it comes to coffee and this place NEVER does me wrong. Literally every time i am greeted with the best customer service staff and the drinks taste so awesome like they actually take their time and make them with love. This is definitely spot that you will not be dissapointed. keep in mind during weekends morning can get a little busy <3 But overall its a 10/10 DID i mention they have the cutest decoration and free parking ??????“
“I stumbled upon this cafe yesterday while walking in Pilsen. I ordered a lavender latte, and let me tell you… it was the BEST lavender latte I have ever tried! I loved the cafe’s decor as well and it was very clean. The staff/owner was super friendly and inviting. I am looking forward to my next visit to Mandala Cafe soon! ?“
“Love Rosati's in Midlothian! It's so good every time. Eveyeone that works there is very nice. We order all the time. Great pizza, salad, tenders, alfredo & the cinnamon sticks. Everything is always hot & delicious. Glad to have a place like this in Midlothian.“
“I've loved this place ever since I first came here in 2015. It's cozy, there's always seating even in the winter when a lot of cafes are packed (it's usually busy when I come but they just have a lot more space than some cafes), the treats are good and so is the coffee and it's WAY more affordable than most Chicago cafes too. The baristas are always friendly and direct and helpful too. Whenever I bring people here they have great things to say about it. I've also bought multiple hoodies here for family members, cuz the merch section is equally good. Long live Jackalope!“
“CHILE this food was so friggin good! And 95% of the menu is gluten free! Gluten-free fried fish tacos!? Gluten-free fried chicken!? Homemade gluten-free corn tortillas!? I don't even eat ground beef but baby that ground beef taco with that homemade hard shell was heaven! And don't let me just start on the crema! It was so good I almost cried. It's not your regular grandma. They literally put love in it, it had some kind of citrus twist on it! I can drink it it was so good. And then their beverages! Lord help me! That limeade will give me diabetes if I dont exercise self control because I'm hooked!Omg I forgot about the elotes! It was sooooo delicious and full of texture and flavor. Whewww.. 10/10!“
“I first found out about Fat Johnnie’s from Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. It’s a shack on the side of the road that serves the best hot dogs you’ve ever had in your life. You won’t regret making the trip. It’s phenomenal as are the people running it. The tamale’s are great too.“
“Nice place to take your laptop for work in the morning. If you want to become a Chicago burb local and adopt the "Da Bears" accent, this place is right up your street. Get a matcha latte (no oat or soy milk for me please. Only Whole Milk unless you have raw cow's milk) or just one of the Collectivo brews. They sell Collectivo beans and their private label beans which are nice. I don't eat donuts, but they have a better selection than Dunkin'. And do you like dogs? Well there's a little dog too- Chanel, your temporary emotional support animal.Do you want to live a real-life Cheers episode where everybody knows your name? And you're always (kinda) glad you came? You wanna be where you can see (the) troubles are all the same (kinda), you wanna go where everybody knows your name. Behold the wonder... Gosia's Cafe...Parking: The upstanding American who is the local parking enforcer makes the rounds. Make sure to move your vehicle at the two-hour mark.Kid-friendliness: Kids can go there and scream, but I recommend parental controls.“
“We came for Valentines to try the food and beer. The menu is simple and to the point. We both had smash burgers. Let me tell you, the burger was delicious. I went with the double and it was huge. I'll get the single smash burger next time. The cheese curd basket with ranch was really good. The atmosphere is chill, the food is yummy and reasonably priced. Oh and the beer on tap was nice and cold. Definitely coming again to try the pizza ? ?“
“It was awesome experience it was crowded , but not rushed the lines long and quick.... just a anticipation of sweet surrender and total bliss !!!!From the Korea grandmother who knew very little English and invited us to sit and talk to the youngest baby who couldn't talk we all wanted it .. the sweet happiness that is Sugar Shack!!!The employees were friendly, kind and patient that didn't mind answering our questions the weather was awesome not to hot or cold just a beautiful day for ice cream or whatever tasty treat your heart desired. ..First experience definitely not my last Lol????“
“Absolutely, let's amp up the excitement: 16th Street Bar & Lounge is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of attending their open mic night, and wow, was I blown away by the talent on display. They truly embrace the spirit of creativity, allowing anyone who signs up to take the stage and share their passion. The atmosphere was electric with fun, and the spoken word performances? Simply out of this world. Plus, the drinks flowed, contributing to the hip and relaxed vibe that enveloped the whole place. There were countless unforgettable moments throughout the night. And the cherry on top? I got the chance to share a poem dedicated to my wife. It was a night to remember. If you're looking for a place with fantastic talent, great vibes, and a welcoming crowd, 16th Street Bar & Lounge is the spot. Don't miss out! Mark your calendars! Every second Monday of the month, I'll be making a grand return, ready to dazzle and engage with even more vigor than before. Next month, it's on – I'll be back in full force, bringing energy, enthusiasm, and perhaps a few surprises too. Don't miss it!“
“The James Joyce is a local treasure. It’s the epitome of an Irish pub; friendly, good service, and a social gathering place. The owners have made it this way, and they will come by to meet you and welcome you. They have events like the upcoming “1/2 way to St Patrick’s Day”, and it’s absolutely worth coming by for a pint. Sláinte?“
“A HUGE variety of food in here. Of course, cheesecake is their specialty and the strawberry cheescake was fire. Pretty darn good in the jolly ol La Grange pals! Stopped by with my sis after good ol' Mak's house right around the corner“
“A cute place! The guy who was working made my boyfriends and my experience so much more enjoyable. He had a smile on his face and was very kind! The coffee and muffin were delicious and the shop is very chill :) we found a new Sunday morning coffee shop stop!“
“I drive all the way from Darien to get there sandwich. Started going there 45 years ago and then I moved and came back and the original location was closed and I thought that was it. About 5 years ago while on Facebook I saw and add for Peppo’s. I was thrilled to know that they simply moved. Best sub sandwich you will find. I love subs and no one beats peppos“
“The best burgers ever. The quality of the beef just melts in your mouth. A cheese burger with a bottle of Joe Tea is the best lunch you’ll ever have! Their other sandwiches are equally great! If you come to the area for a Daytime Sox game, come early and have a lunch at Kathy D’s. Park your car in an approved space at the ball park, and then take a nice 15 minute walk to Kathy D’s through a nice clean residential area. You will not regret it!“
“This place is so cool! What an awesome atmosphere and experience. It was wild coming back to the area that I grew up in to visit my parents and find a place that felt like it should have been here all along.Great coffee and free old school/classic arcade games, along with board games and cider/beer options too. What more could you ask for?“
“I was driving home and saw their white sign outside. Decided to stop and try it out. I ordered the Spicy Italian sub and a Breaded Steak sandwich. They were delicious! So good that I couldn’t stop to take a picture. I’ve passed by this place for years and never stopped to look. That changed today. I will be going back pretty soon and often.“
“I have been looking for a good taco place to go to and I stumbled upon this place. Let me tell you they have great tacos here. The young ladies that work here are nice and welcoming. The food is very fresh and good. Price is reasonable. I had the two taco special and it was great. If you are looking for a good taco this is the place to go to.“
“This place is amazing! Polite and helpful employees that walk you through all the flavors, clean and fun environment, and of course good-quality food and lots of choices. I have never seen an ice cream place offer so many different topings! On my ice cream I dared to try popping rocks, gummy bears, and sprinkles. It was a revolutionary combination! The employees were so nice, and one of them even helped me test out different ice cream flavors. Not only is the food good, but also the atmosphere. When I walked in, I was greeted by an enthusiastic sound of a bell. Then as I walked through the most beautiful light pink hallway, I saw hundreds of little signs and pictures. My personal favorite is the "Dog People Rule" sign! Inside the store there is comfortable, clean environment. You can bring your whole family if you want to. Although be aware that their busy hour is during 5-8 window, so you might have to wait for your order.“
“Beautiful Easter buffet, food was continually be replenished, everything was hot and delicious. So much variety, I can't think of anything else I could have added. Was alittle crowded where the food was set up, but it moved quickly. Children ran in and out of the patio doors making it cold inside, but that was on the parents not the restaurant. Overall a very nice experience. And the staff was wonderful.“
Pet Friendly • $$
“We came down from oklahoma city for my wife b/day and was craving wings but different, and we found this place, amazing wings, air fried not oil fry and full of flavor and crispy, the fresh hand cut fries are amazing, only wish there were more flavors to choose from, but none the less very satisfy, only regret was we found this place on our last day here and not sooner, the owner is very friendly, and easy to talk to“
“Food was great, had an egg and cheese crossaint, some spinach, avocado, mushroom, and cheese crepes, the house veggie burger, and crispy eggplant with polenta and goat cheese. The crepe came with only the cheese on the inside and other ingredients on top, and was more of a crispy rather than soft or spongy texture, so somewhat different than I had pictured but they were good. I'd order all of it again! Service was good and attentive. Food was a little slow to come out at times given that the place was pretty empty, but I wasn't in a hurry and was taking my own time, so I didn't mind that. Will definitely return!“
“I've been here for breakfast before and thoroughly enjoyed it. This was the first time I've eaten dinner at Peasino's. It was amazing! Everything we ordered was from the appetizer menu (3 spreads with bread, fish tacos, a delicious fig and prosciutto flatbread, and an order of street corn). We loved it all. Our server, Chris K., was charming and delightful. We will definitely be back and hopefully Chris will be working when we do. Go! You won't be disappointed.“
“It was late and I decided to walk over and have a cheeseburger /w fries. Getting there was easy. On my way back home it got a little DARK. Need to remember Riverside has NO street lights. I had to walk more cautiously. . Tiptoe through the tulips. Ha“
“Amazing customer service, great food, amazing entertainment everyday of the week! It’s definitely the place to be during the summer!Parking: They have parking near the Pier and across the bridge. Not far at all. A great place to hangout for the summer!!“
“Went with a friend and my daughter last night for drinks and dinner and thoroughly enjoyed my visit! Our server was wonderful and was spot on with drink suggestions. We had the “Lost in Space” cocktail and the “Roast & Hearth” and both were perfectly balance and delicious! The bao buns were amazing, as well. Definitely will be going back and highly recommend!“
“This is a small yet cozy bar. Mostly regulars and I'm pretty sure it's cash only. Decent music selection, no food, an interesting dresser in the womens bathroom, a pool table, a few gaming machines and some booths make up this bar.“
“I got the breakfast burrito with parfait, and apple fritter. The burrito was delicious, one of the best I've had recently. However the portions are quite small, which is disappointing since it was so good. The apple fritter was delicious as well, not sure if they make the pastries in house or not.“
“Love this place, karaoke nights, many game machines and nice re done pool table. Every time I'm in there there is a fun group of people and always a good fun time! Def. Worth a visit if your in the area or worth adding into your bar crawls !!!“
Tapas/Small Plates • $$
“We recently ordered from the website instead of DoorDash, and our order was 40 minutes late. Employees tried to say that the food was already delivered, but then claimed the delivery guy had too many orders. The language barrier was an issue. I’d recommend using DoorDash or some app in order for this restaurant to have accountability. I almost cancelled the order by the time the food was delivered.Food is always fresh and tastes great. But service is an issue.Vegetarian options: Veggie hot pot is really good, has a good variety of vegetables.“
“It's definitely Good Vibes with the older mature crowd and the Bartender Miss B makes the drinks on Point. The Monday night Bingo is so Fun with a Amazing Host Kb. Looking for a laided back atmosphere with Good Vibes you have to check it out ??♀️“
“ice cream is a 10/10 tastee freeze is where its at? they can be a little slow at times but im pretty sure its just highschoolers working summer jobs so its not too bad and it can be pretty packed at times since they only open in the summer I RECOMMEND GETTING DIRT AND WORMS THAT IS SOOO GOOD ITS CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH OREO PIECES AND GUMMY WORMSParking: we always find a spot across the street sideways right in front of the sport supplies store or on the corner and there is a big open lot that im sure no one will mind you parking in for 10 or so minutesKid-friendliness: its kid friendly but i recommend bringing someone else with you while you order if you have an active kid because its right next to the road but there is a big open area beside it where the picnic tables areWheelchair accessibility: it is fully wheel chair accessible“
“Very nice vibe - classic Italian restaurant decor. Some of their dishes taste really good; fried calamari and eggplant parmesan cheese - their complimentary bread was so yummy. Shrimp Fra Diavlo was below my expectation.The service needs to be improved; to be more friendly.“
“Atmosphere is amazing. Waitstaff are so nice and really fun. The food is INCREDIBLE. I seriously think this is my new go-to spot. Everything on the menu is so creative, delicious, and right out of a midnight craving (and I thank god every day they're open late on the weekend). Overall 10/10, you won't go wrong!“
“This is my favorite restaurant in the area! We have tried multiple things from the menu: chilaquiles, tacos, burritos, pozole, sopes rusticos. Literally nothing disappoints! The waitress is always so nice and attentive. Really wish more people knew about them and ate there.“
Bar & Grill • $$
“Great place. Wednesday is free bingo good prizes. Food prices a tad on the high side. Great selection of beer and cocktails. Daily specials and happy hour prices do keep costs down if you stick to those items. Bacon lots of bacon choices which is a huge plus.“
“I love this black owned establishment. It is a winery and Meadery. I wish I had taken some pictures of the decor, but it is a beautifully kept space. Tonight was karaoke night. It was a lot of fun, the DJ was very interactive, and the crowd was Lively. The wait staff was very nice. They went over the drink options and the food options, and everything came out so fast. We had a chicken pizza with a cauliflower crust that I wasn't expecting much of, but it was delicious! I also had a Pomegranate Peach Margarita. The bartender was very heavy-handed, which is a good thing for most people, but since I'm a light drinker, it took me all night to finish the drink! The prices are great. The cocktail was $10, which is almost unheard of in the city of Chicago these days! If you are looking for something new to try, definitely check out Wild Blossom!“
Ramen • $$
“You need to get to here! ? This #hiddengem recently made Infatuation Chicagos list of best ramen places in the city and they’re the only ramen spot staying open until 1:30am! Yes, you can still eat good, late.The Japanese food here is to be enjoyed in their izakaya vibes, which are casual pubs that you can grab lots of small dishes to sample.Honorable mention to the Chicken Curry Ramen and Taiyaki with ice cream - my two favorite items from my visit! I also had a really good Mai Tai and lychee martini.Go check them out for some good food and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!“
“My husband and I enjoy burger 21 but I am here to warn you that if you want there special prices you may not get it and their response is contact Corp and when you do no one gets back to you I just feel if you have a customer appreciate day the burgers should not cost you regular price they should be the sale price not the old bate and switch“
“This place was an absolute lifesaver of sociable mental health during the rise and height of the pandemic back in 2020/2021. With the pretty awesome outdoor setup/beer garden, we were able to socially distance and yet still be around others and feel like we or still part of the communities around us. It fulfilled the need we had a social creatures to be around others, but to do so in a safe way.Now that we are on the other side of the pandemic with it's decline & the need to be socially distant isn't as necessary, this place has a hidden gem inside with board games, and weekly fun such as bingo and trivia nights. I would recommend asking for samples of the beers before you get a whole glass, because some of them may surprise you in flavor by how tart or heavy they are. This brewery does not take their flavorfulness of their beer lightly. ? They even sell jugs of their beer that you can take home, and the jug has their logo on it (as well as merch), so it is a nice souvenir to keep even if for the memories.....or you can bring the jug back in for an inexpensive refill.The banquet hall that was next door was torn down, so it is much easier to see the brewery from Harlem Ave, since it's set back quite a bit from the main roadway. I could even see this place being used for a wedding/party venue for their outdoors appeal.“
“I tried this because of the "Too Good to go" app. It was so delicious!! I would for sure recommend it! The food was outstanding ! The service was excellent!! I love places like this that are healthy !! We need more of this and less of fast food! What a great juice bar!!Dietary restrictions: It's all fresh. Mostly gluten free I imagine.Kid-friendliness: Great healthy food for kids“
“I go here 2-3 times a week to sing, drink and mingle with every customer. Everyone talks to you and the staff is the greatest line up anywhere. They love their customers and they like to have fun, as I have seen them dance to karaoke or just being silly with each other. The front deck is amazing and I can't wait for the fun meals once the kitchen is finished. I used to make this a once a year place, but now it is a must stop everytime if out for drinks. Thank you Eileen, Theresa, Karen, Darla and Tracy for making me feel welcome.“
