Restaurants in Oak Park

“Drove 45 minutes and well worth the trip. I couldn’t choose…so I bought quiche, key lime, chocolate chess, chocolate cream and pecan pies. All fantastic, but the pecan is my absolute fave. Go here. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t!”

“We were indifferent to Mora when it first opened several years ago. The food was ok but not great. We went back for the first time in years a few weeks ago and were absolutely delighted by everything. We returned on Sunday afternoon and continue to be bowled over inspite of the noisy laughter coming from a couple of women in a corner booth.”

“There's a reason the line here is sometimes half a block long. The scones and banana bread are out of this world but the Olive oil cake is among the tastiest things I've had. Regardless of the time of day or how crowded they are the staff is friendly and incredibly efficient. I've never had to wait on my order for more than a couple of minutes. Fantastic neighborhood gem!”

“Food was very tasteful. Service a bit slow.”

“Excellent food for dine in and creative, well presented catering service options. Karim worked with me to create a menu that our guests loved.”

“The food is delicious cooked to perfection and arranged beautifully. You eat with your eyes and your stomach. The flavor is unbeatable. The ambiance is friendly a good time. Good for family or a date. Definitely 2 thumbs up!”

“The Best Lox Bagel Ever !”

“A really great lunch spot to dine and chat with friends!! I came during the “lunch special” hours of 11-3. Service was immediate and very friendly. Both specials we chose also included a rich miso soup. The tempura batter was perfection, crispy and light but not greasy. Everything was presented in a way that was pleasing to the eye. I will definitely return!!”

“My toddler offered this review when she said the following after she took a bite of the tomato and basil scone, "Pizza! So yummy!"”

“Delightful food choices that are always tasty”

“Excellent food, great service, knowledgeable waitress”

“I loved this place! The Cinnamon Roll Waffles and the Ham and Cheese Omelette were absolutely amazing! The staff was great as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in town again.”

“Kinslahger is like no other bar place / bar / local in the area. The lack of TV forces you to engage in conversation, and the staff are particularly helpful in steering patrons to choices they might not think of originally but end up appreciating. They’re a one-of-a-kind establishment with a one-of-a-kind staff, and you won’t be disappointed in your visit.”

“Love this coffee shop! Easily some of the best lattes and staff in Oak Park.”

“Customer service is great. I had the roasted chicken and tamales. There were pieces of corn in every bite of the tamale, and the chicken was moist. Do not forget to try a margarita.”

“Great rooftop bar with good selection of drinks and tasty food. Great local option.”

“Great people. Food is so much better with the new chef. Only thing missing, nachos.”

“Food was delicious, the mussels were amazing and so tender. Large amount of mussels for the price and they were so good. Service was attentive, glasses were never empty.”

“Beautiful ambiance, attentive, friendly service and good food. Perfect place for family, friends and date nights. One of the Historic buildings in Oak Park.”

“I love the taste of Thai food here and the warm service.”

“My time at Il Vicolo Trattoria was excellent! It only took a couple of minutes to find a table at 5 PM on a weekday, and the wait staff was friendly, attentive, and answered all my questions. Warm bread and water came quickly, and the food was worth the 15 minute wait. For the appetizer, I had a green salad, which was very fresh, and for the entree the spaghetti con vogole (with clams); it was cooked just right and seasoned well. I had the pistachio gelato for dessert, creamy and delicious. A very good way to end the dinner. Overall, I can’t say enough about this restaurant. It exceeded my expectations!”

“is a good place for eat healthy.”

“Very relaxing environment and excellent sushi choices. Great saki as well.”

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!”

“Pablo, our waiter, was exceptional. During our first visit here, he warmly welcomed us and showcased impressive knowledge of the menu, even extending to items not listed. He encouraged us to customize our meal to our liking, and he certainly delivered! For starters, we chose the grilled calamari and Rockefeller oysters. The calamari was tender and impeccably cooked, steering clear of the typical rubbery texture. Opting for balsamic instead of oil was a perfect choice. The oysters were superb, not overwhelmed with cheese. I ordered the veal picatta from the menu, expecting a thin slab, but was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. The angel hair pasta complemented the dish well, although I could have done without the mushrooms – a personal preference, which I should've mentioned. Nonetheless, if you're a mushroom enthusiast, they give you plenty. My boyfriend ordered off-menu, enjoying the Zuppe di Pesce with shrimp, clams, extra calamari, and rigatoni Diablo style in red sauce. It was absolutely amazing and satisfied his taste without being overly spicy. To accompany the meal, I had a glass of the house Chardonnay, which was light and buttery. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't typically drink wine, enjoyed it. Our heartfelt thanks to Pablo and the owner/chef Giovanni for an outstanding dining experience, both in terms of the meal and the service.”

“1st time here, It was a very nice experience, our server was great and the musicians were great too! The food was yummy! And the cocktails! I will recommend to my friends!”

“Wonderful food & service!”

“love the service and the Ice-cream yummy”

“My husband and I stopped in to El Tio #4 for a quick bite while staying at the Holiday Inn across the street. We were on a road trip for a cross-country move and had a lot of great meals, but this one stands out. The portions were enormous and delicious. I'd especially recommend the quesabirria tacos and consomme. So yummy and filling! Next time we're in Chicago, I'm definitely going to try to get to Oak Park for another meal here.”

“I dont know the name of the new morning drive-thru guy, but he is awesome! Always a smile on his face and super friendly! Thank you for being a positive start to my day!”

“Bagels are good and fresh, bacon was little bit hard. They have variety of bagels, cream cheese, and coffees. The place is small so it was like a bit crowded. I love the Irish late”

“Best bakery ever!!! Absolutely everything is delicious!!!”

“Best cakes and desserts for events”

“We love coming to have breakfast here on the weekends and usually have great service. Today, our server Arwa, the service was next-level. Despite having several tables she was attending to, she made sure to check in on us and make sure everything was to our liking.”

“I’ve been going to Addis for the past 7 years and rarely skip a day… What drew me in was the very best tasting pour over that I’ve ever had and what keeps me coming back is the family feeling: from the friendly crew behind the counter to the local residents who make Addis a must have part of their daily routine, this place is well worth a try. I guarantee that once you try Addis coffee, their amazing waffles, avocado toast, Ethiopian chechebsa, turmeric lattes etc… you will be hooked!”

“Best place ever! lived in this place as a kid. Come home a few times a year and this is always the 1st place i hit. Best food ever!”

“Hadn't had any Poke Burrito in a while, but a friend suggested it and boy was it worth it! I had a delicious bowl and my friend had the new push up sushi, which she loved! Definitely will be back again!”

“Good foods and good service, give it a five (5) ⭐️”

“Romantic environment, feel warm and cozy”

“I am not vegetarian but I ALWAYS get the portobello sandwich (MulataBella) and lentil soup. My kids and I love the spinach empanada. Owner is a woman of color and an immigrant bringing her family’s Brazilian dishes to OP!”

“Great staff, quality product with less wait”

“The front of the house staff and the food envisioned by Chef Laura and well executed by the talented kitchen staff are outstanding. Simply outstanding.simple yet intesting eats. Whitney is beyond attentive to his guests' beverage interests. "George" Harrison, Jack and the under 21 staff are eager, respectful, and engaging. What a treasure in this neighborhood spot, with beyond just the nearby geographically located closeby fan base. Who's going to gift me with a card to Kettlestrings Tavern for Christmas? "8 days a week" left until December 25”

“Service is slow but these are the best tacos (and cheapest) I’ve ever had. Large selection of amazing flavors. And you can get 20 tacos and 8 wings for $25. These are worth the wait!”

“The food is really great and the people are so nice! The atmosphere isn’t exactly a 10/10 and service can be slow. Prices are very reasonable however and one of my favorite places to get thai”

“Amazing food, great service and people.”

“Been here twice now. The meats are amazing and easy to cook and the sushi is better than any sushi I’ve had in Chicago. Amazing food and great deal on weekdays. Definitely need a reservation. 10/10”

“Amazing pasta and fast delivery 💯☺️”

“I've been going to Mickey for YEARS!!! Today I took my grandkids for the first time. They are very nice people with great service....and food!”

“Lots to offer, works to benefit the community”

“On Sundays, I love eating there after the church service when enjoyed eating different salads, pizzas and pastas..... especially drinking one of canned beers. I'm totally satisfied with one of Billy Bricks locations. Today, I had Baked Mostaccioli pasta and a can of Chicago Common beer.”

“One of the best things about this locally owned business, is that it is locally owned!
Everything you want in a wine store that you don't always find, a great selection, very knowledgeable staff, great accompaniments like snacks and gifts, and a nice clean place that is extremely welcoming.

It's a great place to stop in the summertime and enjoy a cold glass of white sitting on the patio and in the winter time enjoying a nice glass of red sitting in the tasting room. They have lots of things that are not easy to find and what you would consider a gem! They pride themselves on having a unique selection different from the big box shops!

There are price points for everybody and everybody will feel comfortable shopping here.

Did I mention these are local owners and they are in the store almost every day, a little gem in our town!”

“Great Drinks and Amazing Atmosphere. Our go to spot!”

“Sending a big shout out to all staff and the wonderful store manager “Ricky”. I’m so thankful for the warm and welcoming atmosphere everyone gave on top of the food being magnificently top tier delicious. Thanks for granting me the opportunity to film my podcast “takin my gworls out” that will soon be hitting all stream lines. The drinks were also amazing and super flavorful. Thanks over and over again for sharing this experience with me”

“Visited here for the first time this past week to study. I got the Vanilla Bourbon latte which was fantastic. The barista was so kind! She answered some questions I had and was so helpful. Great environment to get some work done.

I returned again with some friends yesterday and again had a very positive experience. My friend accidentally knocked over her drink, but it was the same barista as last time and she was extremely sweet about it and remade the drink. HIGHLY recommend. Clearly a lovely staff and a great establishment. :)”

“Awesome place!! I can't recommend this place high enough- super yummy food and very friendly staff!!”

“Best Carne Asada tacos around! Great food, and drinks; creative and very inexpensive for the quality. Those who complain it’s too expensive, need to get out of or go back to Taco Bell! Outstanding bang for your buck!”

“absolutely amazing food lovely people who serve it well recommend if your in hull”

“This buona is the best one out of all of them. Service is always a 10 and atmosphere is always a 10. Mark is so kind , and I have only had positive experiences. The last time I was in there I had ordered a salad completely forgetting to bring the cutlery with me to my table. Mark kindly came to ask me if everything was okay, and before i could mention it, he had already beat me to bringing me the cutlery for my meal. Its truly the small things. Not to mention his attitude in drive thru is always so positive. Makes my day that much brighter. Thanks to staff like him i keep coming back. Thank you so much Mark!”

“This is my go-to place when I have just got to get some work done and I can't do it at my house because I'm too distracted! it's a cozy place to work, not too loud, good music that's not distracting and I can stay until I get my stuff done. and have a really good coffee while I'm doing it. I haven't eaten there a lot, but everything I've gotten has been really tasty too.”

“We had a great experience at Penny’s Oak Park. I ordered their version of pho with beef, and it was really good. For my daughter, I got the fried rice and egg noodles from the kids menu, and those were okay. What really stood out was the service. Our waitress was super friendly, attentive, and especially good with my daughter, which made the experience even better. The location is convenient, the space was clean, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming. I’d definitely come back.”

“Came here for the first time with a friend for a quick bite and coffee.. ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL!! I loved it!! I definitely will return. It would be a nice spot to go in the evenings as well, if hours are ever extended. 5 out of 5.. Highly recommended. Next time I will be bringing a baguette home with me!!!”

“Jo Jo and the staff are what keeps us coming back a not to mention all the vegan goodies on the menu. The corn chowder is phenomenal and we love the ube buns!!!”

“Visiting from Columbus OH, my family and I stopped here as it’s a family go to at home and fits into our plant based (vegan) lifestyle. We had a pleasant experience with the customer service and atmosphere. Jack was very welcoming and handled our rather large order with ease and speed. We had 3 smoothies, 2 avocado toast and one oatmeal bowl. Only critique I have is the oatmeal was slightly more watery than I’m used to. Anthony the owner stopped in during our stay and witness the praise I gave Jack. Clean and well kept. I hope our 2 littles didn’t cause too much a ruckus 😊”

“Food here is great. I had the excellent spicy bulgogi bento box lunch. Prices are very high. If $25 for a quick lunch is the new standard on lake street then they will be competitive. I hope they make it. Otherwise you can get a nice meal at New Pot Thai across the street for about half the price.”

“I absolutely love this place! The food is consistently delicious and offers great value for the price. Every meal I’ve ordered has been served hot and fresh, and the speed of service is impressive.

become a favorite of mine!”

If you are in chicago, you need to visit this place!.”
