“In the area and I needed something to eat. So I stopped in Andy's, got the grilled chicken sandwich and French fries. Sandwich was delicious, perfectly cooked, and the fries were the skinny shoestring ones, my favorite!

Great food and service, if you're looking for a place to get a good bite to eat, stop in.
Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance”

“If you’re a fan of Egg Foo Young, The China Palace is your new sanctuary. I’ve tried this dish at a dozen places, but they’ve truly mastered the craft here.
The patties are perfectly golden—crispy on the outside but incredibly light and airy on the inside, never greasy or heavy. They are packed with fresh bean sprouts and scallions that give every bite a satisfying crunch. But the real star is the gravy. It’s rich, savory, and has that deep, authentic flavor that makes you want to drizzle it over everything on the table.
Generous portions, served piping hot, and consistently delicious. If you’re coming here, this dish is a non-negotiable must-order!”

“Fast service and nice and hot”

“Was skeptical because of the negative reviews I read about the service and the food. But I must say I had a positive experience 😌… Got the catfish lunch Special, it was firer 🔥🙌🏽… Didn’t know what I wanted Initially, the cashier was helpful didn’t rush me or make me feel like I was holding her time. She even verified with the cook if I was ordering the right fish and helped others while I thought about what I wanted. Her name was Evelyn, customer service skills go crazy. Very pleasant and attentive to customers. Which is rare these days🤷🏽‍♀️. Best $10 I spent all week on some food 😋… so good forgot to take a picture… Glad I came in to see for
Myself or would’ve missed out..”

“I was visiting from Canada and we stopped here to grab a quick bite for lunch! The food was incredible, I had the rib tips and they did not disappoint! Thank you 🙏”

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!”

“In 2017, I picked up my older brother at Midway to come home to the funeral of our youngest brother that committed suicide at 23 yers old. We swung over to Vito and Nick's to get a pizza and talk. It was our first time there. We ended up telling the waitress the situation because we had both been crying. Next thing we know, the kitchen had par-baked like 8 large pizzas of all types, and gave us a hand-written note giving us condolences and instructions on how to finish baking the pizzas. They said they wanted to make sure my family was well-fed in our time of tragedy ❤ And the pizza is INCREDIBLE ❤ SPECIAL, SPECIAL PLACE”

Our dinner was fantastic. We had trout and shrimp. They have the best banana pudding over crème brûlée. The coffee for an end cap was out of this world good!”

“This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm, inviting and perfect for relaxing, studying or catching up with friends. This place is also filled with beautiful greenery and gives such calm, and refreshing vibes. Ixxa coffee is top-notch- rich, smooth and clearly made with care and the teas are just as impressive. The baristas are super friendly, knowledgeable, and always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re here to sip a latte, browse the plants, or just soak in the cozy ambiance, this spot is pure perfection.”

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)”

“Found metal in my food and the staff was Very Rude about it!”

“The whole menu is great everything tastes great and great service and it’s in my community everybody needs to taste it ❤️”

“Finally made it out to Tea+Poke and I’m legit sad it took me that long to get there. The people are kind, the environment is welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious. The pineapple passion fruit tea was the icing on the cake. I couldn’t decide what to get because TBH the entire menu looks delicious. Staff recommended the Korean Beef Short Rib bowl and an I added an orange chicken bowl as well. Both were winners. So much so, I’ll definitely be back to eat and drink my way through the menu. Highly recommend. 🥰”

“I’ve loved this place since the day I started ordering it! I order this almost every week or every other week when I’m at work in the evening. It’s always delivered fresh and warm and the chicken is amazing the seasonings are fantastic! And the names of the items to order are hilarious also the humor in me makes me laugh at them!”

“Muy rica la comida y buen trato”

“Catered Easter dinner from Bella Mia and everything was exceptional - the food and the wonderful customer service. We will definitely be ordering again.”

“This is now one of my favorite spots in the southwest suburbs. Food was delicious, I got a chicken shawerma platter and my friend got the shawafel sandwich.
The chicken was seasoned to perfection and super tender. The falafel was really tasty. I’m so glad I tried this place out and will 1000% be back in the future.
The owner was really nice and welcoming, giving everyone that walked in a free falafel with hummus. That’s the kind of hospitality that brings people back. Not only was the food good, the atmosphere was a 10/10. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars, I highly recommend trying it out.”

“Food was excellent! Had the beef sandwiches but they have a very large menu. If you are looking for a place to sit down and eat this is not it. Very limited seating main spots to wait while you are waiting on your food.”

“My kids & I LOVE crumble cookie. The dyer location always has our cookies ready when we order on line. Also when we come in to order they get right to it. Thank you so much!”
