Restaurants near Western Springs

“I love this restaurant. It was my second visit and it did not disappoint. The first time we sat at the bar and got great service, that's just more my vibe in general. I drive 40 minutes just to eat here, is that good.”

“Been here a handful of times ..
The pizza is th Star !!
Last few times the food was not as on par with the first 3-4 times.
Staff was slow and food was slow.
The first few times i went was when they first opened.
Seems service went down a bit!”

“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!! Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!”

“Delicious, no matter what you get! I’ve been going there for over 50 years. Whether it be yellow smile cookies which have always been a favorite, tea cookies, donuts, coffee cakes or cakes, they’re always delicious! Everyday items or special occasion cakes, we only go to Kirschbaum’s❣️”

“This place is the best! The employees are always very kind and helpful, the cupcakes are always moist and delicious, and I love that they custom make gluten free cupcakes! Another cool thing about this shop is they’re always innovating and trying new things - supporting local coffee vendors by selling cold brew, selling ice cream, and making really beautiful custom designs for cakes and cupcakes. 5 stars for sure.”

“The best chocolate shakes!”

“Always fun and the best donuts and hotdogs around!”

“This is my favorite Starbucks in the area! Karen also my favorite Barista gets my order right every-time. My app orders are always ready and waiting for me.Just be patient with the parking, it does clear up.”

“My husband and I have been coming here since they opened and we are regulars here. Favorites: chicken caesar sandwich, popeye omelet in a wrap, mushroom bisque soup and any salad. So many food choices though soups tend to be sold out around 2pm.Staff works hard to keep the line moving (very busy when LT lets out), and to keep the place clean. Miguel, Ketta, Marie and Ari have have been there for years...nice to deal with people who "know your name."”

“I work nearby and wanted to check this place out, it’s close enough for me to just go pick it up. Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon and Spring Rolls are all delicious! I have tried the lunch specials too all priced right , the taste and quality and quantity of the food was perfect!? ?”

“DO NOT COME here AFTER 3PM
if ur an adult all the teenagers come here and it’s super crowded, it took me 20 mins to get my order.
They had 3 people behind the bar kudos to them.
To be fair it’s the first day that they released the winter drinks but omg I had to say excuse me several times just to get through.”

“Quick friendly service to make sub sandwiches just the way you like them. Miss the $5 footlong that now cost $10 or more, but it still is a freshly made good quality sandwiche that fills you up. Place is kept nice and clean with easy to read menu on the wall. Good location near LTHS South Campus so you always see students and staff from school at this location.

“We dined at Hillgrove Tap for a Moms day out event today. They were fantastic handling our group. Service was excellent. Food was fantastic. And they were so organized. Marc was one of the people who helped make our lunch so enjoyable, thank you Marc and team! We do not live in this town but will be bringing my family back soon! Thanks for the great experience!”

“Great food and service! Thanks!”

“My wife and I stopped in there on a Saturday. The place was empty so I had a chance to talk with our server. We split a big piece of Lasagna. It was very good. We also ordered a pizza it was either traditional or original crust. It was ok. We took most of it home and it tasted much better for some reason a couple of days later. It reminded me of the old days getting it from the Salerno's in Berwyn! The server was terrific and informative about the history of the restaurant. The atmosphere was nice and we will return.”

“Great place for tacos! Ordered the dinner combo with three pork belly tacos. The rice was okay, but the refried beans were excellent. Tacos were exceptional! Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. Staff were very friendly and served us quickly. I am looking forward to returning and trying other menu items.”

“So many delicious flavors, it was hard to pick. Our family of four enjoyed our different choices. It's a beautiful ambiance for the beginning of summer with indoor and outside space. Staff was very friendly and helpful in helping us decide which flavors to try. Def recommend and we'll be back to try new flavors!”

“You can't miss them, the tacos are delicious ? % recommended, their food is exquisite and everything is very fresh, you can't miss them, run ?‍♀️ for yours ?”

“If you want a real Chicago hot dog this is the place. It has a certain taste that no other spot has. Your either gonna fall in love with it or not care for it. Once you get that first bite and your car smells like onions for 3 days, you know your hooked on Gene and Jude’s”

“Truly a gem in the Palos area, the ice cream is amazing and very well priced! The atmosphere is cozy and well decorated. There was high demand for ice cream on a chilly Sunday night but there was enough staff to handle the crowd. The ordering process is simple and the ice cream was ready quick. Excellent place for a delicious treat!”

“I prefer this restaurant. My family was invited by me to attend my dear sister’s birthday. I recommend coming to this restaurant because it has the best way to provide delicious and distinctive food. I advise all people to try it. Do not forget also that it is characterized by a wonderful atmosphere and fast and distinctive service.
Thank you Uncle Shawarma and we will definitely be back.”

“First time taking my family here after not knowing what to eat after an hour ( which was stressful) but glad I made it out and came here 10/10!

Kid-friendliness: Gave my daughter a free ice-cream which was kind of the owner”

“My husband and I were very impressed with the food. It's made fresh and is delicious. The fries tasted great and were not greasy. My husband had a huge delicious hamburger that he couldn't finish in one sitting. I had the steak shawarma which I enjoyed very much. We sat outside because the weather was perfect for it. The people working there were friendly and polite. We were definitely impressed.”

“The cake was fresh. I got the Ferrero cake and I was not disappointed because was delicious and not too sweet.
I will definitely recommend them for cakes.”

“Ordered take out on line. The order was ready in 10 minutes, and everything was exactly right. Very tasty brisket (moist), smokey turkey, and ribs. The beanst were wonderful. Good BBQ at a reasonable price.”
