“We ordered from Burrito Stop Mex and American Grill today and everything was fresh and delicious! Delivery was fast and friendly. We will definitely be ordering again soon!“

“I’m a cook, kudos to All out smoke Pit. The best rib tips , turkey tips and the balance of the food. Haven’t had Barbecue like this since Alice on 43rd between Wabash and Michigan Ave. Moreover Alice , there’s a new Queen and King of Barbecue. It’s the best! I have recommended their food to everyone I know. So far no disappointments!“

“That Ribeye Steak Sandwich is absolutely amazing! 🔥🔥🔥“

“I had the steak kabob dinner, so much food could only eat half. Excellent! Going to try the 1/2 chicken next time.“

“I had a really great experience at Charley’s. The food was fresh and came out quickly, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. The customer service was excellent, especially from an employee named Jasu. Jasu was very friendly, helpful, and made sure my order was right. It’s always nice when someone goes the extra mile to make customers feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back again because of the great service!“

“Food was fantastic ... Good service ... DEFINITELY WILL BE GOING BACK ..“

“Excellent place to get an Italian beef. Probably the best place around honestly. Far more hospitable and “family vibe” than Portillo’s. No diss on Portillo’s food, but I think Buona just does it better with dine-in service. Love coming here.“

“We were on our way to Indiana and decided to stop and get something to eat. We decided to try this restaurant. My Husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwiches. I got red sauce, mozzarella cheese, Onions and hot peppers. These sandwiches were the best I’ve ever had in an Italian beef sandwich. My brother-in-law ordered hotdog and said they were absolutely delicious as well. We most definitely will come back and sit in and dine again. I recommend this place 100%.“

“We've been to Nicky's often. Italian Beef ... Good! Gyros ... Good! Burgers ... Good! As a matter of fact I can't think of anything we've had that isn't good. The prices have gone up, but the portions are huge! So you can't even complain. They remain one of our favorites.“

“I love there food it was amazing I love Mexican food real homemade I feel at home“

“The standout in my experience? Their catfish lunch special—it’s flaky, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right every time. One frequent visitor even said, “I visit this location on an average of 4 times per week… cooked to perfection when I arrive.”“

“EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service“

“The shrimp is great, price is fair they allow the credit card company to charge the buyer, but the down side is they nickle and dime you for sauces and don't advise you its $.75 more which would cut the purchase of sides down. Most restaurants have ranch or some kind of dipping sauce for the sides included. But overall will buy the 🍤.“

“They make the gyros the way I like it, the fries are good, they give you plenty of food for the price and the staff is excellent.“

“Huge shout out to Bob, the gentleman wearing black, you can tell he was absolutely swamped today and handled everybody with such precision and care. I always see him working through the drive-through, but I went inside today and saw how precisely he managed his team through a rush. It was really cool to see.“

“Always great food. I have been going there since they were located one block south near the quarry. I worked for Daley’s Ambulance And that was considered our halfway point for medical runs. Best“

“I’m training for a new job down the street in Markham and stumbled across this gem of a restaurant. I have gone here during my last three lunch breaks and each time the food has been excellent. Will only be in town 4 more days but can’t wait until tomorrow.“

“Best Gyro's in town! Generous portions and A great Staff! 5⭐️ Always friendly, welcoming and smiling!! Casual atmosphere and nicely decorated for every holiday! smiling!“

“A true gem � find. All the food is good but the chicken tacos � and the nachos with chicken are the best.“

“I am still 1000% convinced that Culver's is the best fast casual burger place. Hell, even better than McDonald's, Wendy's and BK. Even though BK has gotten WAY better than before. I still haven't had the chance to eat at In N Out yet but so far nothing beats Culver's. The only one that may come a bit close to defeating the mighty Culver's is Shake Shack, but, still, Culver's is king. EVEN if they're based in Wisconsin and are assumedly Packers fans, I'll let it slide. Me being a Bears fan and all. 😎🐻“

“Great food, great friendly service. It didn’t disappoint“

“To each his own, but it was amazing to me! I don’t like the bigger Wings so these were perfect for me. I got half lemon pepper half barbecue 👍🏾 shrimp fried rice, not only good but well presented. She has a variety of egg rolls I’ve never experienced. I had the peach cobbler egg roll and jerk chicken egg roll. Good vibes too! Thank you ma’am 😎“

“Not only was the food exceptionally good, the service was just as good! My family absolutely loved our sandwiches from Mel’s! Will definitely visit again soon 🖤“

“ALWAYS GREAT SERVICE AND FOOD“

“The kids at the register were nice and the food was ready quickly. It was my first time at Chick-fil-A. I expected it to be overpriced and underflavored, but it was decent. My only issue was overflowing trash cans, which looked neglected. It wasn't the best last impression, but overall everything else was okay.“

“Best shrimp in the south side and best service. Seen an old man with shoe laces 3 feet long trip and fall on his wrist. The staff stopped what they were doing to help this man up. Phenomenal service and even better tasting food !“

“I recommend BEEF POLISH w Everything! If you like hot/spicy also eat the peppers!
No other place like this place down here in Dolton or near NWI makes it like this place!
I hate hotdogs but beef polish is a different story!
100% Recommend.
Only Cash.
4-6 pm beef polish is cheaper.
Also for every order you get free FRIES.
Also if the white polish guys are there they definitely taste much better and I could tell because I’ve been here so many times. When I’m in Chicago I go to Jim’s Original. When I’m down here I only go to JJ Sausage.“

“I have visited this Chick-fil-A location many times, and one thing that consistently stands out is the exceptional customer service. The team is always welcoming, professional, and genuinely pleasant, and that kind of consistency deserves to be acknowledged.
On my most recent visit, Jim Ulysses and were absolutely wonderful. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made an already enjoyable visit even better. What I especially appreciate about this location is that great service clearly extends throughout the entire team. Even the management is personable, approachable, and willing to engage with customers in a way that makes you feel genuinely welcomed rather than simply processed through a transaction.
In a time when excellent customer service can sometimes feel like a lost art, it is refreshing to visit a restaurant where hospitality still matters. Thank you to Jim and the entire team for consistently creating such a positive experience. Your efforts are noticed, appreciated, and absolutely worth recognizing.

Keep up the outstanding work!“

“This is by far the best JJ Fish in the city of Chicago!! The food is consistently fresh, and the staff is welcoming. I also came in to place an order on Super Bowl. Although it was busy and wait times for some were longer than usual… the staff maintained professionalism and supported customers as quickly as possible. I’d recommend this location to anyone!“

“What I like about this place is that everything is fresh cooked and everything is just right I definitely recommend it“

“I just purchased ice cream for my family from the drive through. I know they close in 1 hour. EVERY SINGLE staff member who helped me was amazing, polite, helpful, and smiling! The customer service is fantastic!! Keep it up Culver’s in Crestwood. I appreciate the wonderful service!!“

“Excellent food always, clean, great service“

“My go-to when I want pizza fast. The selection is good, considering you pick your toppings. It was near closing so they were busy cleaning around me. If you don't have a lot of time and you want good pizza, this is a good option.

The only thing that really slows this place down are customers that don't know what they want!“

“Mediterranean chicken Pita was 11 out of 10. Hot, fresh, seasoned perfectly AND UNDER $8.00. Crazy good.“

“lived in Calumet City 45 yrs , 21 yrs away , Panos My "" One gyro , not Jy -ros , extra meat, easy onion with cucumber sauce , LaBanco would inevitably be with me or running for him . is the Number ONE place to eat I miss the most. these photos are painful. In Cinci. " pano , the owners son , Panos , Do You DELIVER ??!?!?! " The word PANO , is interesting word in the Greek language ..“

“This is the hottest spot around... I highly recommend this food truck .. Um um good“

“Great Food, Friendly Atmosphere,Fresh Fries and Fantastic Cream of chicken and Rice Soup!!“

“This Subway is truly great! I’ve been coming here since I was little, but it wasn’t until COVID hit that I became a regular customer. After years of going to this Subway, I can say that they greet every customer with a smile and are truly kind to everyone. The ingredients are always fresh and they make everything to your liking until it’s perfect! I recommend this Subway to everyone looking for good food and nice service!! :))“

“Food was great, customer service was less than great. No smiling faces, curt service. They have drinks but you wouldn't know if you didn't ask. Handed my husband his soda, he asked if they had straws and she slid him one. Why not ask if he wanted a straw? Won't go back, even though the shrimp were pretty good. I value service more than anything.“

“well I'm really torn on if I should recommend or not... most of the time the food is fine but when it comes to fundraisers they are really really horrid. let's put a box out and not put anything on the box so the majority of the people have no idea about tossing their receipts in there for a cause... im pretty sure they make enough money where they can put something on the boxes for the customers... if they are so scared about losing money don't even bother... yesterday I was there around 4 and not one person threw a receipt in the box.. I was the first.... second fundraiser and second time unless you already knew, had no idea about it.. .“

“We have been coming to this White Castle for years. It has always been a wonderful experience! From the dining area, staff, washrooms. Thanks See you next trip by Dan and Kim Holland Michigan“

“Came here with my husband for a good burger and I just wanted to compliment the young lady at the register. Kennedy she was so kind ringing us up for our order, coming from a restaurant background couldn’t help but notice the team effort. When there were no more customers at the counter, she put gloves on and offered her help to her team. Jumping right in to help, that’s what you call team work.“

“Delicious. Had double cheeseburger last week, best ever. Tried chicken kabob pita today, delicious. Thank you for supporting our healthcare workers!!“
