10. Horse Thief Hollow

All of us who live within a 15-minute drive of Horse Thief Hollow were thrilled when a wonderful brewpub replaced the carpet store at 104th and Western in Chicago's Beverly neighborhood. We have made several visits--both for lunch and dinner--and attempt to try out different menu items each time. Lately I've been enjoying and recommending the refreshing Arugula Salad topped with grilled chicken, Manchego cheese and pecans--and served with lemon vinaigrette. My husband's current favorite is the Paleo burger (sans onion). If your entree requires a side, the buttermilk slaw, sweet potato fries and corn bread all are excellent. Of course, HTH is a brewpub. So, what to order? My husband has a few favorites but especially enjoys the Kitchen Sink pale ale while I prefer the specialty root beer (sans alcohol) and the tonic water. One last note: HTH has won awards in several beer competitions but must be acknowledged for its owner winning the James Tyree award (out of 70+ nominees) given by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. The award honors small business owners for entrepreneurship and community involvement. So, congratulations to owner Neil Byers on his award and to all of us who have this wonderful addition to our area!

Okay, so the service was attentive, what did we leave out? The sound of the service! It was one of the loudest restaurants we have experienced. There was a relatively constant clatter of dishes that eventually became a table joke. Easy to fix with a bit of attention to detail!

We were checking into the Doubletree and tired form our journey so decided to dine in. We were disappointed with the steaks. They were tasteless and the meat was dry and the price was above average. We didn't eat dinner there again but had the breakfast buffet in the mornings which was good. The service is good in the breakfast room.

After four years of planning and construction, Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant opened in 2005 in Orland Park, a south suburb of Chicago. The concept was unique. We would create a signature menu with a selection of dishes designed to pair perfectly with

I chose this Oak Lawn location, it's a bit more organized than Orland Park location. For lunch try their "over the boarder egg rolls "DELICIOUS"! For dinner I get the "crusted pork chop". Another "EXCELLENT" choice! Make sure you ask for "Karen" tell her Mz. LiWanda sent you. The GURL is BADD!! She represents CUSTOMER SERVICE in EVERY PROSPECTIVE!

115 Bourbon Street was the location that was chosen for a luncheon for a group of retirees that get together on a regular basis. There is so much room at 115 Bourbon Street that you don't feel crowded. The restaurant, the banquet rooms, patio and the restrooms are all clean and well-maintained. The staff, especially the bartenders, was very friendly and efficient. The food was tasty and there was more than enough through the buffet line. It started with salad & dressings, small rolls, beef with sweet peppers, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mostaccioli, green beans and cookies and brownies for a bit of dessert.

We arrived in town and I saw the review and decided we had to try it. We got a seat in the bar area. There were various TVs around but the sound was down. The waitress showed up and I told her we had no idea as to what was the best to order.She suggested the meatball appetizer. --- DoneWe then ordered two different Italian dishes. Way too much food.The meatballs were very good. The appetizer is 15 (I think) small meatballs with sauce (gravy) and cheese. Very tasty. We finished half of them.The meals were good too and, of course, we took food to our daughter's for her to have leftovers.Best was the chef came out to chat with us and others. I always like that they come out and see what people think of their dishes. I'm glad we went.

Dined on a Friday night. This is our 4th visit and it continues to meet our expectations with great food and service. The menu changes so you can eat here many times and have your favorite or a different spin on an old dish. They revamped the scallops, and it was a hot item of the night. I had it and many others as well. The cornmeal crusted scallops with beets and sweet potato hash was delicious. Well cooked, flavorful and colorful. We started with the grilled oysters. Always good. Husband had catfish which was very good as well. Peach cobbler and bananas foster bread pudding were excellent. Great drink and cocktails. Great service. Corn muffins are also very good with the garlic butter. If you havenât been, go and get some Nola cuisine. They also have brunch and special events. Prices are reasonable. Dinner for 2 with appetizer, 2 entrees and 2 desserts $120. Must visit. Fun atmosphere as well.
