“So cute!! I love the vibes in here. It is so hard to find a place with retro vibes like this. I love how intimate the space is. The food was excellent, the coffee was amazing, such a good find!! I can't wait to come back to try all the pies. And the sodas! I got the matcha almond tea cake, butterscotch pie, the smoked salmon bialy sandwich, and a lavender latte 💙 My friend got the poblano breakfast sandwich with bacon, chocolate shake, and guava cheesecake. They were also very happy with their choices!”

“I had heard a lot about this place so I finally made time to stop in. I ordered a blockbuster sub and I enjoyed it. The price was reasonable. I think that from all the hype, I was expecting something really special, but it ended up being just a high-quality sandwich. I still would highly recommend this place for a great sandwich, but don't expect anything life-changing.”

901 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60607, United States

“One of the best sandwiches you could buy around this area. The staff is very friendly, and the sub comes out fast. Mr. G is a must try!”

5357 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60640, United States

“I have had the polka dot cheesecake and the mango margarita pie twice each and they are devastatingly good. I would kill for the recipes. The polka dot cheesecake has almond flavor to it, delicious. And the mango margarita pie is so smooth and has tajin sprinkled on top which is just… *chefs kiss* Edit: have been back several times! Mango margarita is seasonal, but they do have the polka dot cheesecake always!”

1120 W Touhy Ave, Park Ridge, IL 60068, United States

“Get their Two-n-Two, with both grilled and raw onions. It was the perfect amount of food with the fries & the sandlot spread (which was amazing and I recommend getting it even though it’s 79 cents extra charge, it’s a must). The fries were nice and crispy and having a root beer float on the side, was a nice touch. It was also MASSIVE, so definitely worth the money, wish it had more root beer though. The space itself was small, but you know locals come here to eat a good burger all the time. A little outdated with the space but it wasn’t a deal breaker! Definitely will come again to eat their burgers!”

1437 W Chicago Ave #1, Chicago, IL 60642, United States

“This is a family-owned small business that serves great Puerto Rican food. They always have fresh food prepared daily and they have different specials and soups everyday. I've been coming here for the past 5 years and it is a real nice gem. Sandra always gives amazing service and it is a pleasure to be there. The decor is very old school with booths and tables which adds to the authenticity of its customers and staff. I highly recommended this place.”

“No frills place, reminds me of an In N Out. I ordered the Double Double, er, I mean the Two-N-Two. In my hurry I neglected to order their fresh cut fries. Doh! I wouldn't be surprised if they have a secret menu with Animal Style. Prices are good, staff is friendly. Everything is made to order. The burger was delicious. Perfectly seasoned, fresh ground beef. Fiance's chocolate shake was freshly made and tasty too. I'll definitely be back for another burger, and I'll be sure to ask for fries. SECOND VISIT: Fantastic burger, fries were okay but slightly undercooked. I don't like floppy fries. Three stars for the fries, five for everything else.”

1419 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60614, United States

“Solid spot, expecting bar food and was blown away by pretty much everything. Garlic knots were incredible (drenched in butter), spinach artichoke dip was super flavorful (tortilla chips were stupid salty- chill out yo). Deep dish pizza was probably the real hidden gem. That sauce was tangy, good bread and overall a real solid pie that can actually be held. 10/10 solid spot to grab a beer bite and watch any game.”

1494 Miner St, Des Plaines, IL 60016, United States

“Walked in waited a few minutes before someone came and greeted me. Food was bland. The service for me was poor and inattentive. All of the waiters had an attitude. Felt like I was being rushed. The waiter didn’t ask if I would like anything else, she just gave me the check. I handed her my card to pay for it she placed on the counter as if it were hard to hand it back. It’s small things like that I take notice of. I definitely won’t be coming back there.”

130 S Prospect Ave, Park Ridge, IL 60068, United States

“This is a nicely decorated restaurant with great atmosphere. The food was only better than average. Service was a little slow. But generally speaking, customers can definitely have good time here.”

5025 N Harlem Ave, Chicago, IL 60656, United States

“Great sandwiches. I had the Spicy Sicilian and a side of caprese salad. Both were great. Even bought a to go order of meatballs in marinara. Lots of grab and go choices that all looked incredible.”

1796 Elmhurst Rd, Mt Prospect, IL 60056, United States

“I ordered a pepperoni pizza slice. I became alarmed when I noticed there was just one pepperoni on the pizza and then found that most of them were hidden beneath the cheese layer. I believe this was done on purpose to give it a distinctive appearance. The pizza's cheese was spread equally throughout. The pie's frame was airy and slightly firm, and the sauce had a subtle tartness. I also had a New York strip steak sandwich. The steak itself was delicious and had a good charred aroma from the grill. The only issue I had was that it was cooked too well, which made it difficult to chew. The bread is lightly toasted, has a lovely golden color, and is still fluffy. The sandwich is served with sliced tomatoes, a little sweet grilled onions, and freshly chopped lettuce. Despite its simplicity, the sandwich had a pleasant flavor and texture.”

6154 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60646, United States

“My friends and I have been coming here for years, before they even built out and used the spectacular rooftop that they have now. The server Erin has been with the bar for a long time and she is always super friendly, attentive, and very good at what she does. We love coming by just to visit her and catch up! Overall, this bar has the best ginormous pretzel that goes along with the best dips. It comes with queso, honey mustard, and their house-made beer cheese. It’s truly the best I ever had and everything else on their menu is tasty. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything that I didn’t like here. Other recommendations: the bone-in wings, cauliflower wings, and the alforno sandwich!😋”

3114 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60657, United States

“It was a clean space! Options to get slices to get your own pizza. They gave us bread to start which was really good. Then we got a few dish pizza that my husband and I really enjoyed. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend and come back!”

1754 W Balmoral Ave, Chicago, IL 60640, United States

For me this is a Jewel and i would like to shear with you. And..... you did it again, thank you. Happy Thanksgiving.”

2612 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, IL 60625, United States

“I always order the buy 5 get 1 free traditional cold meat sandwiches for around $44. And it is worth every penny! But the #12 vegan BBQ “meat”sandwiches is not going well for my vegan friends. Please read this and consider WHY?? I will just come back for the real meat sandwiches like #1 that sell out fast 💨”

843 Dodge Ave, Evanston, IL 60202, United States

“While it's not gourmet, this place hits the spot with fast, fresh, reasonably priced food. One of our favorite places for a quick lunch. Lots of vegetarian options too!”

40 S Arlington Heights Rd, Arlington Heights, IL 60005, United States

“Busy and clean Thai-Pan-Asian eatery with quick service and delicious menu options. We ordered: 1. Tom yum soup 2. Wonton Soup 3. Crab Rangoon 4. Basil fried rice w/beef 5. Thai noodles with shrimp 6. Curry 7. Salad We made a reservation for the same day and glad we did as the place is busy with dine in customers and pick up orders. They do accept walk ins given they have space. Food is fresh and they do have a drinks menu with limited selection of beers.”

1349 W Cornelia Ave, Chicago, IL 60657, United States

“This restaurant is beautiful. Food is fresh and colorful. Flavors for all the dishes are rich and there is definitely some creative touch to each one. My personal favorite was beef tartare and grilled artichoke. Mussels could have been so much better if some of them were not cold and if the size, texture of the mussels were more consistent. Staff was friendly and I hope to return to try other ones on the menu. We didn't have a reservation but was lucky to see that the bar seats were available. Italian wine we were recommended was excellent.”
