American Restaurants near Summit

“for first timethere on good burger 🍔“

“Stopped in on a whim after seeing a pop-up on FB about this amazing five star Tavern. We were pleasantly surprised when we were welcomed as we walked through the door. The atmosphere was inviting and the service top notch! The food was above and beyond what we expected. We had the fish specials, both were deliciously out of this world! The portions were perfect, plenty of leftovers to take home! Our Complements to the chef!!! We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

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

“Amazing food. Great atmosphere. What more can be said?“

“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 stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“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’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.“

“Went there today for the first, but definitely not last time. The food was extraordinary.“

“Good food, good variety. R&B classics playing in the background. What more could you ask?“

“Excellent customer service. Food was delicious and the prices weren’t bad at all. Highly recommend!“

“We love their Filipino breakfast combos. Service is excellent as well.“

“Great variety and unique flavors. Great vibe.“

“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!“

“This is a neighborhood staple! Good food great people!“

“Listen, this was a very great restaurant, I’m shocked that it’s not getting more buzz! You all should come down and try out their rodeo cheeseballs which are packed with lots of flavor, and if you want chicken tryout their Dubai chicken sandwich, they put it on this really great tasting bread from Dubai. Don’t want to eat a ton of carbs? That’s alright try their Flying Dutchman burger without the shame or guilt of not leaving here without a meal! It’s something for everyone and if you have a sweet tooth get you a shake. 🥰not sponsored but I really enjoyed my time here and I hope you will as well.“

“The sweet sixteen is a must have!!!!!“

“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!“

“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 service and even better food! 10 out of 10 all around! When you go ask for Josh!“

“Great food, shakes and beer selection! Fast and friendly service. Wish the fries were thicker but that’s my personal preference. We also enjoyed the music selection.“

“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.“

“Last Tuesday, after my overnight shift, I stopped into Pappas and ordered a sausage and egg on wheat with hashbrowns...... and it was nothing short of AWESOME!!!! I can not WAIT to go back. Thank you Mrs. Sofe!!!“

“We happened to be working in the small town of Hodgkins and stumbled upon this place. It has a small town feel where everyone is super friendly and everything we have tried so far on the menu was AMAZING! The burgers are the best Around! Chicken Dumping Soup is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bartenders are super friendly and on top of their game! HIGHLY Recommend this place! 💪🤘🇺🇸“

“Fine folks - Good staff workers that take photographs as well“

“Food and drink- awesome - awesome!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great food! Great people! Forget Raising Canes, Chubbies is better in every way. Location is great on a beautiful “Main Street” America type setting. Amazing chicken sandwiches and tenders with generous portions and great prices“

“Our first time there. Food above expectation, good menu variety. Wine & beer selections above average, very good cocktail selection. Generous happy hour(s). We'll be back for sure and add this place to our "regulars" list.“

“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!“

“I've been here several times in the past and I really love their food selections. However this time the service was not very friendly and the booths are getting to look very shabby. They are stained and need to be reupholstered. Doesn't make me want to go there again any time soon“

“Great space, food and staffing. Intentional and reward project worthy of your patronage.“

“My Granddaughter 16th Birthday, 12/ 20/2025 The Food Was Absolutely The Best💥💥💥 We Had: Burgers, Salmon, Mashed Potatoes Jerk Chicken, Chicken Alfredo, barbeque Wings. Mmm So Very Delicious 😋 The Staff, PHENOMENAL“

“Crowded bar but loved the atmosphere, wine samples and dinner. Great birthday.“

“Very good service and food!“

“Stopped for the first time and it was a great experience despite waiting to be seated which is to be expected for the quality of food they serve. It was also a Saturday. The server was great! He would make sure we were well taken care of and recommended items from the menu since I couldn’t decide from the great variety menu that they offer. I will definitely be going again soon.“

“Awesome atmosphere and possibilities“
