Restaurants near Riverside

“The Chew was an amazing restaurant! Not only was the food amazing but the owners, Linda and Landy, and the staff were spectacular! We miss it so much! Truly an icon in our community!”

“Came here after the Zoo this evening with the family. The young man and young woman running the shop were really nice and polite. I got the cucumber lime and spicy watermelon ice cream. it was amazing. Reasonably priced also.”

“Love this place, and right down the street from me! The food is delicious! 😋 Just wish they opened a little earlier for breakfast!”

“Amazing staff! Small hidden gem. Atmosphere is amazing and the drinks are phenomenal. They have specials every day of the week. Amazing ?”

“Tried out asiano and it was DELICIOUS and they are so quick! I placed an order and it was ready in 20 minutes. All the employees are very welcoming and kind! Def my new favorite place in the local area”

“A lovely downtown sandwich shop. We got an Avocado BLT, Shrimp and Crab Roll, Turkey Club, and a Cubano. Everyone loved their sandwich and enjoyed the ice cream dessert too. Staff was very helpful and I loved the style of the restaurant. Our only critical comment was the turkey club could have used more bacon (which was delicious). We can't wait to come back!”

“My wife and I eat regularly at Estancia for dinners and lunch. IMO it is tasty with reasonable portions and good prices. Overall it is better then some of the larger Mexican restuarants in the area with a casual atmosphere and great customer service. Too many persons fall for the ambiance of a place and don't get quality or authentic Mexican food. In warm weather their small patio is very inviting with plenty fo parking nearby.”

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.”

“It's actually a gift store with tons of beanie babies and garbage from eBay. There were some items called 'antique' probably in the literal sense, it's been sitting there forever. I did buy some stuff though like Porcelain fisherman for my dad and some musicians with odd expressions”

“Had the empanadas today at the Dia de los Muertos event in Homewood. You guys need to advertise more because they’re fantastic and that chimichurri sauce is to die for! You should be a household name!”

“Today was a beautiful day for tamales! 🫔🫔🫔

My last trip to the area was when I noticed Tamale Hut Café and made note to stop next time I was in the city - today was the day!

I knew that this would be an awesome place for a great authentic tamale - I was definitely spot on.

I LOVE the vegan options offered - I tried a broccoli 🥦, a mushroom 🍄, and a chicken tamale. The green sauce was a very flavorful addition.

What made my experience the best was the customer service provided by Alex - very welcoming when I told him I was excited this was my first visit.

The café is so clean. And seating is open, airy and spacious - makes the atmosphere inside bright and comfortable.

A worthwhile stop-in for a great bite, lunch or dinner - support them!”

“A delivery app made a mistake with my order. LaBarra took charge and the general manager personally delivered 2 delicious pizzas to make up for the outside apps mistake. Above and beyond! Thank you!”

“The 3 workers at the front (2 females 1 male) at around 12:30 noon on Sunday 8/23 were amazing. Came in with both my little kids and was offered a coloring page with crayons for each! Ordered my food and even before I was settled a gentleman came to drop me off my food to my table. That was less than 5 mins, fresh and hot. Service is top tier! Would definitely recommend!”

“The food was good, just pricey but that’s to be expected at the zoo. The employee Eilise was extremely friendly and hospitable! She came outside to talk to us and even provided us with samples of their vodka lemonade ☺️. We ended up purchasing one after as it was good!”

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO”

“The food here was delicious!! I’ve done a few omakases, but this was hands down one of the best. Just looking at the sushi you could tell it was high quality. They also cut generous pieces of all the fish.

Mugi was our chef of the night and fantastic. He answered all our questions and made sure we satisfied throughout.”
