New American Restaurants near River Grove, IL

“nice people and good food.“

“Excellent food and our server, Megan, was best we've had in ages!“

“Solid gyros! Fries are tasty! Only ever ordered the gyros sandwich or gyros plate. They load up the gyro nicely with a lot of meat which you want in a gyro sandwich with all the usual fixings; Taziki sauce, tomatoes, and onions. It is delicious. If looking for a solid gyros sandwich or some good fast food check out goody’s!“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“I'm from Iowa, took a little weekend trip to Chicago. A friend told us we HAD to try Lula's. SO thankful we did. I will be traveling back to Chicago just to take my mom here. Outstanding service from every single employee, incredible food, and just overall 10/10. Absolutely recommend.“

“Try the "Soon to be famous" wines! They do NOT disappoint! Our Server and Service was phenomenal! Food, is .....so amazingly fresh, the options, the add ons, the small shareable bites. Every season the freshness makes you feel full with out feeling FULL. Artichoke and Hummus is so yum!!“

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.“

“Great variety and unique flavors. Great vibe.“

“Amazingly delicious food and drinks! Our waiter, Colin, is the best and the added bonus is that he looks like Adam Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) on Chicago PD.“

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun“

“Had our holiday celebration and had an extraordinary experience - great food and excellent service.“

“Had dinner last night. We had an excellent server named Carly. She was extremely friendly and answered our questions. She came back to the table several times to check on us.
It was refreshing to dine out and be treated so nicely.
We also chatted with Patrick the manager who we talked with each time we have been to FatPour and he is an absolute sweetheart too.
All in all good experience and we will return!

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“One of the best food spots in Chicago. Love the dip. Tried the French onion soup, incredible. Known for the burger, but everything is awesome. Cocktails are legendary. Hipster vibes and awful leg tattoos are abundant. Think of Austin,TX if it didnt have a dad.“

“Great Linz steaks! Head chef and wait staff were outstanding! Great time had by all!!“

“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“

“My flight got canceled so it was the end of a long day when I finally made it to the Hilton Garden Inn, but the service at the hotel was great and the Cobb salad at the restaurant tasted like I had just picked everything fresh from the garden. Definitely stay here again!“

“We received magnificent 5 star service from Van-Lang Foods! Our delicious appetizers & decadent desserts were a huge hit at our Customer Appreciation Party! Vanessa from Van-Lang Foods made our appetizer and dessert tables so festive and fun! Thank you!“

“I just hosted my wedding at Chief O’Neill’s on Saturday and it could not have been more perfect. Siobhan and her team took amazing care of us! The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, and every one of our guests was gushing about how impressed they were by everything! The back beer garden is so magical, you would have thought we spent tens of thousands of dollars to dress it up, but we didn’t need to. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue to host a wedding, party, shower, or intimate event, you should definitely give them a visit!“

“The food here is excellent! The flavors are unique, and the portions are large. They always bring a demitasse of soup right when you are seated which is delicious. The service is excellent... the wait staff, bartenders and bus boys were attentive, quick and knowledgeable. Everything I've ever had here is great. But it is not inexpensive! One of our favorite dishes is the cauliflower... but it is $24! My friend ordered the octopus, which was perfectly cooked and came with crispy chickpeas and potatoes. So good! I ordered the tostadas de pescado, which was also delicious. Although pricey... I will definitely be back.“

“We held a beautiful rehearsal dinner in the Mirage restaurant/bar. Service and food were fantastic, and the staff was more than helpful. Thank you so very much!!!“

“We rolled in as some sleeveless thirsty travelers late night on a Thursday. We were bathed in nonchalant hospitality. The quality of a bar can stand on the legs of a Strong menu but it’s only excellent when you have exceptional staff. The Scofflaw has the sauce“

“Fabulous as always A Chicago go to for me“

“Absolutely delicious place! The sandwiches are to die for and I love the quiet atmosphere. Came on a Sunday at 1030 am, usually the peak of how busy a place can be but we were really fortunate for the peace and quiet. Will Absolutely come back again!“

“I love Standard Market's Seeded Rye Bread! It is one of the best rye breads to be found anywhere in the west suburbs. Unfortunately the last two loaves I bought are so very , very salty? I do bake bread myself (not as good as Standard Market's) I am aware of the role of salt, sugar etc. and their proportions, so why this extremely salty version ?“

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“

“We had the best lunch. Our food was tasty and hot, not to mention generously delicious. No wait, great help. Open kitchen. I hope they open one further southwest.“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“Dance vibes and good food.. recommend the fish tacos“

“Chicken is very delicious“

“If you are looking for a good burger, this is your place! The food and staff are incredible, highly recommend!!!“

“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“

“Good food lots of options, service should be spruced up!“

“Best authentic Chicago breakfast spot around! Consistently high quality food for longer than l've been alive. You feel like you're eating at home when you eat here.“

“Many of the most beautiful meals of my life have been at Cellar Door. Their food, the atmosphere at the restaurant, and the care put into the menu and wine selection create a magical dining experience. We ate there this week for a special occasion and loved the steak, radishes, asparagus, and a lovely tortellini with subtle herb flavors. The bread and house-made pickles are a must-order. Perfect spot for a special occasion, dinner with friends, or meal with a book at the bar.“

“The service was quick. Food was delicious. Smoothie was fantastic! Definitely will return.“

“100 o/o recomended and friendly ☺️super yummy 🤤“

“Service was slow and someone in our party never received their food because of some “mix up.” Not sure if the mistake was made by the server or in the kitchen. The manager came by and had the kitchen prepare it and said we wouldn't be charged. At that point, the rest of the party was pretty much done eating so we took it to go. When we got the check, the meal was not taken off the bill and it took some time getting that resolved. But the food we did receive tasted great. Could have been an “off” night so we plan to give it another try.“

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“Best Roast Chicken you'll ever have. Unbelievable“

“Food is unique and tasteful.“

“Don’t order the short rib mini sandwiches! They were 90 percent fat. When I informed the waitress she indicated that there is always fat on those sandwiches. My sandwich was mostly grizzle and fat. My friend had the same thing but hers at least had some meat.“

“Very good service and food!“

“I'd been there before and it never disappoints! Menu has variety and unique items to try! Food and service were great! Manager is on top of his game. He reached out to check on our visit and to make sure all went well. Appreciated that. Only improvement to suggest is to have fountain soda. I assume they must just have bottled sodas since they don't offer free refills.“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“great food. treat you like family. visit whenever there“

“Absolutely love Vistro! Amazing staff, delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and superb customer service. It never disappoints!“

“Had the Marley with chicken instead of a burger with provolone and the Korean bbq sauce and oh man…. So good; I can’t wait to try more things out! Pretty chill atmosphere too, looking forward to checking out the patio in the warmer weather. Highly recommended and I’ll be going back and back and back again.“

“The restaurant is beautiful and inviting. The food was incredible. However, this is not the place to get a quick meal. The drinks take forever if you are at a table, and nobody working there moves quickly. Dinner took about an hour and a half.“

“This is one of my husband’s and my favorite place! We were a big fan of Creperie St. Germaine so we are so happy that they haven’t completely changed the delicious menu and the interior is the same cozy place we love! And the crepes are to die for! This place is freaking AWESOME!!!“
