I was unsure on what to order and the young man up front helped me decide my entire order. The food was perfectly priced and came out within a reasonable time. If I can give this place 10 stars I would.“

“I scheduled an event here sight not seen on August 31st for a 65th Birthday Celebration. This place is a hidden gem. Absolutely gorgeous. The room is spacious yet can be very intimate. Thank you so much to Ms. Evelyn Randle and Ms. Arika for taking care of me. The CVS Class of 1977 raved about this place all while we were there. We are scheduling our next event. Look out for Ms. Evelyn. Thank you guys once again. P.S, I would give it 6 stars but you are only allowed 5.“

“We went there on Friday night . We wanted to try something different so I got the Friday Fish Fry with mashed potatoes and corn. My husband got the chicken and dumplings with mashed potatoes and the green beans. He loved his meal. My fish was good and the tartar sauce was delicious! My corn was not very warm but I ate them. The mashed potatoes were hard and cold. I told the waitress and she brought out a new one. We tried the sugar plum tea , it was very good! The service was good and we had a very nice experience. The last time we were there it was a disaster! But we decided to give them another try. Glad we did, it’s like they have new people working there and things were much better. Thank you , I appreciate that.“

“The best pizza on the market with half price Dine-in Tuesday night specials.“

“I went here because a coworker of mine told me about their mushroom swiss burger. The staff were friendly and my order came quickly. Granted, it was the slower part of the day but still great service. I can appreciate that.

After trying the burger, I noticed that I didn't get that bloated or weighed-down feeling. The burger was good, the fries were good and I liked the shake. It took a spoon to really get into it, but that's to be expected when having a thick shake. All around great experience in my book.“

“Tony's better watch out! I ordered delivery on a Saturday night. The pizza tasted great and was hot! The delivery was quick, about 35 minutes, and the fee was very reasonable. This will be our go to pizza place from now on!“

“Grecian pork chops and eggs for breakfast. It doesn't get much better!“

“I've been a customer of Mary's since she first opened, hobbling around on a leg scooter with an injured foot her first couple of weeks in business! She has developed Caffe Milan into an absolutely incredibly delicious, dependable deli & catering service! We've never been disappointed whether it's been for a yummy sandwich or a catered order for a family event or a fundraiser! 10 stars!“

“Great cuz..“

“I grew up in Tinley Park and the Olympic Star has been a staple in our city forever. I'm now out of state but every time we're back in the Chicago area we go to the Star. Everything is phenomenal in this restaurant and the Chicken Soup is to die for, it's so good we went home with 3 qts of it to take it home out-of-state“

“Their beer cheese soup is amazing! I had it at Gordon Ramseys place downtown and the soup here is better! It’s worth a trip just for that and the bread and better alone!“

“Our gathering in the back room was a hugh success due in part to; Alex, the kitchen staff, and our wonderful waitress Debbie. The finger food was tasty and a perfect variety. Thank you all.“

“A Gem for Great Times
This bar never disappoints! The bartenders are not just skilled but also incredibly friendly and attentive—they make the experience feel personal every time. The food is surprisingly good for a bar, with a menu that goes beyond the usual offerings. But what keeps me coming back is the atmosphere: it’s the kind of place where you always seem to meet interesting, friendly people. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or staying for the night, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve found your new favorite spot. Highly recommend!“

“The service was good and so was the food.“

“Good food. Good prices too.“

“I hadn’t had their pizza in like a decade but had been thinking of it this whole time, and then my girl put me on to their half off pizza days 🙌🏾🙌🏾 now I’m there once or twice a week cause let me tell you☝🏾 this pizza is sooo gooddddd 🍕😍🥰🥰🥰💯“

“Good food and Good Prices! Usually
Come for lunch and always leave satisfied. Ordered a Steak Dorito Nachossss! And boy! It was bomb! Steak was perfectly cut to fit every bite of a Doritos and every ingredient was prepared perfectly not too much or too little just right! Go check em out!“

“Food is consistently great“

“Crawfish boil for our second visit. Looking great so far 🎉“

“I went there for the first time. The vibe, service and food was great. my only issue was the automatic 18 percent gratuity. it was only two people who had one drink each, burgers and appetizer. Our bull was 89.00. Also we were not given an actual bill we were just told our bill was 89.00. I didn't appreciate that and have never experienced that before.“

“This small-town gem is a delightful surprise! The food is absolutely fantastic, especially the build-your-own burger on a pretzel roll. I was impressed by Stephanie, who was clearly new but incredibly enthusiastic and helpful. When I asked for a recommendation, her eyes lit up as she shared three mouthwatering options. I followed her advice and opted for the burger with pepper jack cheese, grilled onions, and mushrooms, along with a side of cheese sauce for dipping. It was a flavor explosion!

The cozy atmosphere invites you to slow down, relax, and enjoy a leisurely meal and drink. Don't rush your visit; savor the moment.“

“Great new family owners. Great food. Great drinks. Give them a visit. You won't be disappointed !“
