“1st visit to MK Steak and we were very impressed. We were seated right away and started with wine and cocktails ( spicy Bees Knees was awesome!). Our server, Chelsea, was knowledgeable, friendly and tentative. Atmosphere was lively but not loud. Both our entrees were cooked to perfection. My husband, who knows his steaks, was pleasantly surprised to hear the steaks are from Meats by Linz. His steak was amazing- great flavor. I had the scallops, which were also very good. The baked French Onion soup was hot and cheese was nicely browned. We were too full for dessert but saw a few being served. So wish I had saved room! We will be back!“

“We had a great experience with our server Tammy. The food was great and the atmosphere was nice outside. We will be back. It’s the same owners who own Egg House. They are doing great things in Lombard. Keep it up. 👏“

“The quesabirria tacos were so delicious! The consomé was full of flavor and the waitress and hostess were very nice!“

“I thought it was a very nice place. Atmosphere was lovely, food was fantastic, and the service was great. I am not a food expert but I thought the Enchilada Mole was excellent. Mole had a nice flavor. Lovely place to celebrate my 51st birthday!“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“My wife and I watched the bears vs packers game. Great atmosphere and fun time watching the game. However, BOTH bathrooms had issues and one urinal overflowed causing a mess. When the game was over and we left, we were blocked in by someone who made up a parking spot in the back of the lot. Multiple people made up spots all over the lot. When I addressed the issue with the front desk and spoke with the manager, they did nothing and said to call the police. It is not up to the customer to manage your property. I thought it was a joke of a response when a concern was raised.“

“For everything ,nice people“

“Barrelman's Room is my go-to place on a Friday or Saturday night when I want delicious cocktails and cozy ambiance so I can actually talk to my friends & hear each other. It's usually pretty easy to get a table, the staff is helpful with recommendations and I love the "secret" feel of it. I recommend it to anyone who wants a night out without a long line or wait. You won't be disappointed!“

“Amazing food and drinks!!“

“Absolutely loved this place! The service was great, and the inviting atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a fun night out with friends. Our bartender was very attentive and friendly ensuring that we were happy with our food and drinks. Already can’t wait to go back! Highly recommended!“

“Food and service are both excellent. Greeted with a smile, food is made to order, so no microwaved dish......I had chicken/shrimp fajitas the first visit and they were DELICIOUS!! Went back second time with a relative, got the shrimp diablo......should have taken the server's advice about the heat, but I didn't, therefore I suffered 🥲 the consequence......she was awesome though and had the heat taken down for me. Owner came out to greet guests and was super sweet. This place is a hidden jewel that has some of the best Mexican food in the area. I would say take my word for it, but being that you probably don't know me, don't take my word for it, go try it for yourself!!“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere!“

“Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. I had a large family event here and everyone loved it! Favorite dishes were kugelis, potato pancakes, beet soup, salad, combo platters. The desserts were amazing! I highly recommend.“

“Stayed at the doubletree hotel and was very pleasantly surprised how great the food was at Osteria Italian restaurant. We dined here two nights in a row because it was so delicious. Julio our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Made our first evening at the restaurant memorable. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and Caesar salad. It was wonderful. I had plenty of leftovers and can’t wait to enjoy the other half when I get home. My husband ordered rigatoni with chicken and the soup of the day. He had plenty left over for another meal also. Had two Tiramisu martinis and unfortunately ran out of room for dessert. The second night we sat in the bar for happy hour. Joey, the manager remembered us and made us feel like we were friends dining at his home. Handsome gentleman and incredibly friendly. Tony the bartender managed a full bar of people yet was very available to take our order. Happy hour is a great deal with $7 martinis and affordable large appetizers. Luckily we saved room to share a piece of Tiramisu. Absolutely divine. Can’t wait for our next visit to Chicago to dine here again. Highly recommended.“

“Love this place!!! Me and the girls had a blast!!!!“

“Good ambience. Good rolls. Good steak. Good rice. Cool sign. Spacious inside. Good location.“

“Had the best experience dining here with coworkers. Jess was our server and was warm and welcoming, offering suggestions and pairings, and had the beat timing- we never felt rushed or interrupted. The martinis and crafted cocktails were as delicious as they were beautiful. Appetizers were delicious and the portion size was great- don't miss the brussel sprouts! Now the sushi... wow- creative and meticulously prepared rolls and sashimi with a menu that has something for everyone-- and the vegan options are incredible! Can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great night out and a. fantastic service experience.“

“This place is the real deal. The food is incredible and pairs so well with their artisanal and “standard” cocktails. Their standards far exceed the run of the mill standards you’ll find at typical gastro pubs. Bartenders Steven and Ira are attentive, personable, and will ensure your cocktail exceeds your expectations. If Jordyn is bringing your food to your table you can be sure you will have everything you need. She is one of the most hardworking individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting and her work ethic will leave you astounded. Needless to say I will be making several visits to my new go-to burger and cocktail spot. Way to go Tribute team!“

“Fantastic Sunday brunch. Best Eggs Benedict ever. Cold items are creative, fresh, delicious..dilled shrimp, Spanish shrimp cocktail, grilled marinated veggies, poached salmon, Lox, bagels, capers, red onion. Heaven!“

“Family friendly fun with old school vibes“

“A great throwback restaurant!“

“Muy buen ambiente todos cordiales“

“This place is absolutely bonkers. Went on the weekend for late brunch. It was packed and had a long wait time but it was worth it. The staff is really polite kind and helpful. They make changes if needed. Very accommodating. The food itself is really amazing. We got the skillets, pancakes and french toast. They were all delicious! And huge portion size. Pretty decent priced, even though it's a bit on the higher end. Limited parking depending what time of the day you come in. Definitely recommended for a good family/friends breakfast.“

“We were in town for a basketball tournament, with a group of 22, and their staff accommodated our entire group! From the hostess, to our waitress, to whom I believe was the manager (tall gentleman), they were fantastic! The food, was delicious!!! Serving sizes were generous and their drinks were great as well. If we are ever back in town, we will return!“

“This was me and my husband’s first time this morning back at Hizemans since we moved. The drinks were not as good as we remembered… The food was great although it was a wait. Even though it was a very very BUSY restaurant! Understandably so.

Our server Katie took great care of us was very friendly attentive, and it is clear that she cared for her customers. Any issues was taken care of immediately with her . 10/10 SERVICE!

A bit loud! But very fun atmosphere especially with the BEARS!! We will be coming back for the amazing service and drafts. Cocktails ok…“
