“Had this wonderful BBQ delivered to work today. It is so yummy! The meat was fall apart in your mouth, full of flavor goodness! The beans were so tasty. The brisket had the perfect flavor and texture, the ribs were very meaty and flavorful as well! I cannot rate service or atmosphere but I know I will be getting this food again with my family. We will be going there to check out more items on the menu! Can't wait! Some of the best BBQ I've ever had! 👍“

“Rating this place is difficult because I love BBQ and I’ve been searching for a good one for awhile. The first time coming here (take out) was fantastic. Plenty of food, good prices, good service, and delicious food. The second time (dine -in) following a few months was not the same. Food was not all that tasty and Mac & cheese is always spicy regardless requesting without spice. It just didn’t hit the same. I do enjoy this place and want to visit a third but unsure if it’ll be like loving my first visit or settling like my second visit. Regardless, I still believe this might be one of the best BBQ place in the suburbs, which coming from is says a lot. I have had plenty of ribs from plenty of places!“

“Natalie (waitress) rocked. Very good at her job. She is definitely an asset to Duke's. Great job Natalie.“

“Great Food, Great People!“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“Absolutely the BEST Chicken Sandwich I have ever had! I got the Fried Chicken Club Sandwich, and it was fantastic! We live 2 hours South, and will make the drive for that sandwich!!“

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“ISSAS Venezuelan Restaurant & Bar – Bartlett, IL
ISSAS Venezuelan Restaurant and Bar is a great spot right in the heart of Bartlett’s town center. The space is ample and welcoming, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Service is friendly and attentive. The empanadas are flavorful and well-prepared, and the pastelitos are just as good—perfectly crispy and tasty. A solid choice for authentic Venezuelan bites in a great location.“
