He said they also had beef and baby back ribs along with smoked sausage. I got the beef rib and smoked sausage. The beef rib was so amazingly good. So tendrr the bone slid right out. Absolutely fantastic. Cant wait to go back.“

“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“Alley 64 has a great menu, a fun an accommodating staff! We had a semi-surprise party in their back room! They were so helpful, let us set up early, refrigerated a cake for us, had appetizers out super quick! There was probably about 40 of us and the bartenders/waiters were awesome… it was a huge success! Definitely think of Alley 64 for a group/party options!“

“the owner is amazing! my first time ordering here, I thought i placed the order for delivery, instead it was for pickup. I called and the owner answered, I explained i didn't have a car at the moment and he personally delivered the order himself. I tried to give him a tip and he refused. the food was great and still hot by the time we received it. we will definitely be ordering again! thank you so much!“

“Amazing place - first time here - Nichole was an amazing bartender- will be back with the family soon“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“Always Amazing and fun!!!!!🤩“

“If your flight takes you through Chicago, you have to stop in the O'Hara Bar & Grill. You'll receive excellent service, meet new and friendly patrons, and get a wonderful drink plus a bite to eat. Margaritas in the morning? Yep! Prices are comparable for airport stop thru restaurants. Just make sure you have time or you'll miss your flight! Hahaha“

“Great food with friendly staff“

“Great place to play pool have some cocktails and game.“

“It’s a fun out going place“

“The quantity and quality and fresheness of food was very reasonable for an Airport, and my order was ready right way. The bar was small but comfortable enough, but the cheapest beer was around $12. That may be the norm in O'hare, I'm not sure, but it seemed high. If i find myself in Teminal 2 with time to burn again, i'd try one of the larger chain restaurants. *Lots of reviews mention the fries, and that is true. I didn't even know that the chicken pita even came with fries, but evenly it did, and there were a lot of hot fresh really tasty fries included in the bag. I probably shouldn't have, but definitely did eat them all. The fries were great.“

“Es un lugar muy agradable de ambiente acogedor y buen ambiente.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, nice staff. but... on 11/20/24 there were THREE cover all bingo winners - only one won the trip... each winner should have got a trip to Vegas. How often do you have multiple winners in a coverall, let alone three of them????“

“We had an amazing time at City Tap, all thanks to our wonderful server, Lillian! It was her very first day, but you would never have known it from her incredible service. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and sweet throughout our entire meal.
​The highlight of the night was how fun and engaged she was—she even remembered our deal to bring us a round of shots if the USA scored a goal! That extra attention to detail made our night so special. Cheers to City Tap for finding such a gem. We will definitely be back and asking for Lillian’s section!“

“Food and service was amazing!“

“Me and my family flew for Christmas and ate here. Ricardo was very friendly and was an amazing bartender. We flew again two months later and he recognized me and my father before I sat down. Great server, great drinks, and we make it a point to visit every layover.“

“BBQ Burger was delicious ! Fries that came with pretty ordinary however . Drink was a bit weak but believe the waitress made it as I saw no regular barkeep“

“I mean it's a pub at the airport. You're not getting super fast service, but the staff was kind and polite. The food was warm and properly cooked to temp. The Guinness was creamy. If I'm ever in O'Hare again, this is probably my spot.“
