50 Best American Restaurants near Stickney

“I just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“Absolute dominance from a restaurant that is less than a month old. You thought you've had it all, that Chicago couldn't possibly have yet ANOTHER banger in Wicker Park, but i'll be damned, here we are. The cracklin' shrimp is so well done, I would eat a bowl of it. Lemony, spicy, deep fried deliciousness. The half chicken was among the best I've ever had (whatever that green sauce was, was KILLING IT) not to mention my wife's elote lasagna?!?! I can't wait to go back. THE MANAGER EVEN SMELLED GREAT. Victory!“

“By far the best 🍔 I’ve ever had! The fusion of flavors 🤯“

“Absolutely delicious!! Can't wait to come back“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“We finally got to check this place out. Located next to Mon Ami Gabi, you enter through the magnificent lobby. Inside is decorated sparsely but with warmth. We sat near the window for brunch and it was not at all busy at Saturday 10am. It’s probably not the first pick for brunch since their menu is not heavily focused on egg dishes (but they featured baked goods trays which I promised myself to try when I bring a larger family here). They relocated to this new space last fall but I had not really noticed from outside in my walks. The menu is very Asian-fusion and food was high quality and creative. I preferred theirs to North Pond actually. Theirs have more flavor overall. We ordered Maine Lobster Dumplings, Warm Mushroom Salad (this was a hit. I’m going to try to recreate the roasted mushroom at home) and truffle croquettes, pork noodle served in Korean earthen pot and salmon tartine. The first two dishes are really memorable flavors. They were generous with Mimosa and J enjoyed Mezcal shots each with pickle brine and watermelon. Think dirty martini but with more zing! which I appreciated. We want to come back for their happy hour and try other dishes. So glad to find this gem today. Service was prompt and with smiles.“

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

“LOVE Gemini. Their bottomless has a great variety, and my food has been amazing every time!“

“We had the most special and incredible experience at Ever! They truly understand how to make each diner feel like a guest of honor. The Ever team has created an atmosphere of deep respect not only for the food, but also for both the people who make it and those who come to eat it. My partner and I were astounded by everything we had in the best way, and truly felt a sense of reverence around each dish. The service was perfectly attentive and kind, and I loved getting to meet so many different members of the service team with the presentation of each dish. We couldn’t stop talking about this meal for the rest of our time in Chicago, and it will be an amazing memory to look back on for years to come. I highly recommend Ever if you’re looking for an experience that perfectly balances both the beauty and the taste of food.“

“Enjoyed the Christmas pop-up, very festive and the food is fantastic!“

A special shoutout to Twilla, the manager, and her wonderful staff, who made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality. Supporting our local businesses is so important, and Sweet Maple Cafe is a shining example of the quality and care we have in our community. I highly recommend stopping by for a meal—you won’t be disappointed!“

“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“

“We dined at Topaz in August 2024 and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We were seated in a comfortable booth. A special mention goes to our server, Sasa, who was incredibly attentive and provided great suggestions. He even surprised us with complimentary limoncellos, which were absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we had the grilled octopus and hummus—both prepared to perfection and bursting with flavor. For the main course, we chose the Dover sole and Amish chicken. These dishes were exceptional and stood out as some of the best we've ever had. The potatoes served with the sole were also a delightful surprise. Portions were generous, and the prices were quite reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food. We highly recommend Topaz and will definitely be returning!“

“Amazing, a perfect evening.“

“The dinner was fabulous. Our server was wonderful! The desserts are amazing! The decor is beautiful!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Came here on a Sunday evening and the food plus the service was amazing. A+. The owner recommended i try the Dubai style paratha smash and it did not disappoint. We also had the mushroom Swiss and jalepeno smash those were amazing as well. It’s a 50 minute drive for me to get here and I can’t wait to go back.“

“Pretty amazing food and value. A 12 inch sandwich fed mom and me, and the cheese fries were great!
For chicago, a solid choice to try a Philly cheese and loaded fries.
O and good drink selection too, all types of sodas and waters
Great value“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“Great food and service. Tuesdays kids night is wonderful other than that great fine dining spot. Although they did pare down the menu which I have not tried but am a little bummed about“

“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.“

“Fantastic from start to finish.“

“Great selection of American & Mediterranean. Falafel plate & Kefta kabobs were fantastic & prepared fresh. Unexpected array of dessert options, as well. Win!“

“The food and the services is amazing! Will always be one of my favorite spots to eat!“

“Dash is my favorite diner! The food is great…. everything tastes just like you think it should (or even better), and the people are genuine, caring and upbeat. Watching the owners get excited about holiday decorations gets everyone in a great mood. Eat at this local neighborhood treasure….. it’ll make your day so much better.“

“Food was great! Food/service was a little slow, but worth the wait. I recommend putting the sound on for the Bears game on Sunday’s.“

“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.“

“We just moved the neighborhood and we have many choices for fun and food. Port And Park is Incredible the food is delicious. The service is genuinely extraordinary.. Then the ambience is warm and welcoming. Port And Park is our go to place!“

“I’ll start by giving kudos to whoever does your social media marketing, It’s definitely what got me in the building! The food was great. The service and atmosphere were great. The waitress was attentive and offered good suggestions. The thing I didn’t like was looking up only to have dog dining right across from me. This is not an outside, not cheaply priced establishment…the canine was not appreciated:(.“

“Really nice place for real good food. My family and I stopped in after a trip into town for an escape room. We had the foghorn chicken sandwich, burger, mashed pot and gravy, tenders, nuggets, and fries. The burger and mashed we're recommended by staff and were terrific.
Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Recommend if you're looking for awesome food at a great price too.“

“great food, atmosphere and service. A great value!“

“Pizza was ok, nothing to write home about. I got a slice of sausage, slice of pepperoni, some wings and a cream soda. Wings were also ok. I wouldn’t choose salad dressing as a dipping sauce but hey what are you gonna do. Good crunch on the crust. I bet if I ordered a whole pie and asked for extra sauce well done I would like it more.“

“Never had a bad meal! One of our staples. Love the Red Velvet pancakes, deconstructed lobster eggs Benedict and white chocolate pretzel pancakes!!!“

“Such a beautiful space and the food and staff are excellent!“
