“I saw the Choula and Lime ad on social media and came into to have a Philly cheesesteak with that flavoring. Jack who was working during the freezing weather conditions let me know it was only used for a wings rub but said he could try to make it as a cheese steak by mixing butter instead! He was very friendly and accommodating, willing to go above and beyond to help me. They were also closing soon and I was going to take my meal to go but he insisted that my partner and i dined in so the food stayed warm. Absolutely made my night because I got exactly what I wanted and it was a delicious cheesesteak!“

“Update Jan 2026:
I have updated my rating because you have mentioned that Water is going to be available in all stores.

2025
You have a sit in restaurant and you don't have free water. Shame on you for not following the basics of Islam and trying to make money on the name of Halal. I even asked the cashier to give tap water and they said that they do not have cups. I will adjust this post if I see any improvement during my next visit and please do not post an AI generated response from ChatGPT. The ask and task is pretty straightforward.“

My kids love it as well.“

“The place is a fun place to stop. Lots of good food, and lots of neat pictures to check out. Go about once a month.“

“In the past I was not really a Jerk food type of guy, but I love this place. The food was fresh and seasoned just like I like it. The overall atmosphere was great as well. Super clean sitting area with quiet music and television while you wait for your food. I've been there twice already, and will definitely be going back. It'll be one of my regular spots for lunch or dinner.“

“The best Italian Beef and Chicago-Style hot dogs 🌭! Love this family.“

“Excellent service and a really nice atmosphere, with plenty of good food choices, especially if you’re looking for healthier options. Two of us had breakfast along with lattes, and the total came to around $60 before tip, which feels pretty typical for inner city Chicago pricing.

The maple bacon was fantastic. We did wait about 15 minutes, but the place was clearly busy, so it made sense. Overall, a great experience.“

“I'm so happy that I finally stopped in and tried they're food. SOOOOO GOOOOOD, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!! Eating a chicken sandwich now in Bliss #Foodie“

“Stopped in for dinner with my husband, who told me this was his childhood favorite, and I can see why. The entire inside of the restaurant is full of retro memorabilia that brought me back to my childhood, the quality of their food is top notch, and not to mention the portion sizes are 100% worth the price. Truly a solid 9.5/10 and we will definitely be returning to this location.“

“Stefanie is awesome! The whole staff is positive.“

“Not only is the food great, the prices are better than some of the other local places. They treat you right while serving a great beef and meatball sandwich. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed“

“La rapidez, presentación y entrega de los alimentos. Vuelvo a ir. Seguro.“

“A Chicago area Italian beef icon!“

“Everything there runs better when MARY is working. She is friendly, efficient and seems to be able to multitask better than most employees at the Oak Lawn location. She’s the best !“

“I've been going to Mickey for YEARS!!! Today I took my grandkids for the first time. They are very nice people with great service....and food!“

“Sub-tender use to be the place for a great sub. I've ordered here for a party years ago. Now don't get me wrong, the subs are delicious but id you get more then 3 things slices of meat that's a good day. I know the economy if rough but dang. You better like bread because that's all you really getting $7. I get the turkey combo for 14.00 with tax because I can fill up on the fries 🍟 and soda.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brandon provided absolutely amazing customer service! I loved how he smiled and approached me and my family with such a positive and friendly attitude. He made us feel truly welcomed. The Willowbrook Chick-fil-A location is definitely a number one spot for me — we’ll be coming back again for sure!“

“The food is delicious here! The only thing is that the prices are high. It cost me $50 for myself and 2 kids to eat here. It also looks like this place is located in a gas station due to its location but would highly recommend visiting here!“

“I stopped by Pop's Italian Beef today with my usual plan of attack — the legendary ribeye steak sandwich that normally has my name written all over it. But then I saw the sign…

“Mondays in March – 46th Anniversary Special.”

And suddenly my carefully crafted sandwich strategy went right out the window. Instead of the steak sandwich, I audibled and went with three of the cheeseburger specials, because at those prices it felt almost irresponsible not to participate in the celebration.

Apparently the entire population of Lyons had the exact same idea.

The place was absolutely slammed. The poor girls behind the counter — Cecilia and Celeste — were running around in circles like contestants in the Italian Beef Olympics. Orders flying, people everywhere, the grill working overtime. They were hustling nonstop and doing their best to keep the whole operation moving.

Because of the anniversary madness, I ended up waiting quite a while for my food. At one point I started wondering if I might still be standing there when they roll out the banner for their 47th anniversary.

But when the burgers finally arrived? Totally worth it. Juicy, cheesy, messy in the way a proper burger should be — the kind where you need a pile of napkins and absolutely no dignity while eating it.

So yes, the wait was real, but between the great food, the anniversary chaos, and Cecilia and Celeste working like absolute champions, it was still a memorable stop.

Pro tip: If you see an anniversary special at Pop’s… bring your patience. The reward at the end is still delicious.“

“I have take out from here quite often as I work in the area. Food is always done properly, each and every time. Monday I dined in and had a wonderful experience. Great staff, solid service. Shout out to the server Micheal great energy, definitely a people person. Highly recommend for a traditional breakfast.“

“Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had Maria and Ashley was very amazing with giving the best experience to customers no matter who you are and the food just as good, the whole team there could be seen giving their all, will definitely come again with friends!!“

“If you’re looking for a place that gets it right across the board, Egg Harbor Elmhurst is it. The food was outstanding—flavorful, fresh, and served at the right pace. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without us having to ask twice. You can tell they care about the experience as much as the meal. I’ll definitely return, and I’ll keep recommending Egg Harbor Elmhurst to anyone looking for a great spot.“

“Great soft serve sundaes. Good prices.“

“Fantastic chilli cheese dog.“

“Absolutely terrific food! A hidden gem in the western suburbs. Highly recommend stopping by and trying the Korean Steak sandwich!“

“33 years old born and raised in that neighborhood Marco's has always been the greatest. I take my kids here and order out whenever we visit the old neighborhood. Great and friendly people, great food and service. A chill place for kids and adults to hang out and grab a slice of pizzas or a quick spot to go during your work break.“

“My twin and I ❤️ the Chicago-style diggety dogs!“

“very good razonable prizes“

“Five Guys lived up to their reputation. Tuesday, 5/15/18, was my first time at the Downers Grove location. That Bacon Cheese Burger was great. Just as expected from the many Chicago locations in the past. The two young men on duty offered service with smiles.“

“The food there is delicious, fresh and well worth the money. I had ordered 5 meals from their and the price really was a wonderful surprise. It was a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be. The staff there was very professional and the wait for my food was very fast and accurate. Great food, wonderful employees. I will definitely be eating there again real soon. I will take my son with me because he really loved the food.“

“Just had the monster gyros at Deerfield’s food truck Wednesday - one of the best gyro sandwiches I’ve had in a very very long time. Thanks for showing up guys highly recommend.!“

“This buona is the best one out of all of them. Service is always a 10 and atmosphere is always a 10. Mark is so kind , and I have only had positive experiences. The last time I was in there I had ordered a salad completely forgetting to bring the cutlery with me to my table. Mark kindly came to ask me if everything was okay, and before i could mention it, he had already beat me to bringing me the cutlery for my meal. Its truly the small things. Not to mention his attitude in drive thru is always so positive. Makes my day that much brighter. Thanks to staff like him i keep coming back. Thank you so much Mark!“
