1. The Pit Rib House
Overall Ratings
4 based on 76 reviews
The Pit Rib House has mastered the art of barbecue using the finest cuts of meat and then slow cooking them over an open wood pit. The result is a delicious, authentic wood-smoked flavor that guests have come to love. Our world famous ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and smothered in our sweet and tangy sauce.

In the neighborhood and it looked like a nice place. Also, I love BBQ.
Decor is fantastic. I enjoyed all the old stuff they have on the walls. Very comfortable, very clean.
Didn't have brisket my normal BBQ choice so I went with the ribs.
Told the server I was in a hurry...food came in 5 min.
Ribs are good. 1/2 falling off the bone but still need a pull. Sauce on the ribs seemed different than the jar on the table. Sorry to say but I didn't think the sauce on the table was special...rib sauce tasted much better. Cooking it?
Good cole slaw and fries.
Even though I gave it a 4 if I lived around there I'd be going a few times a month.
Really like everything.
2. The Plush Horse

We did a lot of business at the Original Plush Horse the other day. We left with a birthday cake, two pies, cupcakes, a couple of chocolate milk shakes, a chocolate soda, a banana split and eight--count 'em, eight--quarts of ice cream. The Original Plush Horse at 12301 South 86th Avenue in Palos Park has been the "sweetest" landmark in the south suburbs for more than 75 years. You can't go there and just walk away with a waffle cone, can you? The trick is to decide which of about 40 flavors of ice cream you want to take home with you. I'll admit there are a couple of flavors that I'd like to see on the list--and I've make ownership aware of them--but it's hard to complain when there are so many delicious options. You can't take them all home, right? So on every visit to the Original Plush Horse, we choose eight. This time, we selected butter pecan, chocolate chip, cookies and cream, peach, cinnamon, strawberry, coconut gelato and apple pie. Oh, did I forget pralines and cream and banana fudge gelato and Rocky Road? Next time. Maybe by then they will have added orange sherbet or orange pineapple or rainbow sherbet or chocolate almond to the menu.

It was quite crowded because it was Chinese New Years and the closest Asian restaurant to the Moraine Valley Fine and Performing Arts Center. We were there for a pre-show dinner. They did the best they could -- we made the show -- not everything came out as requested or together.

Had Korean Chicken wing dinner, cole slaw, & green beans. My sweety had catfish dinner, fries & cole slaw. Everything was delicious. But Kettle One Drink was very expensive & now much of it.

First timer at this pleasant restaurant with a local, eco-friendly food philosophy.
The ambience is clean, black and white contemporary with great natural lighting from windows surrounding the large space with both small and large white tablecloth tables, and comfy booths. There is a small bar located near the entrance with a few small tables and stools to seat eight.
The menu carefully explains that all ingredients for the entrees and sides are carefully chosen...very impressive. There is also a gluten free/vegan menu. Both have quite a variety, and it seems even the "usual suspects" are prepared with a unique twist.
I chose the White Forest omelet made with egg whites, lots of juicy seasoned veggies, topped with a modest portion of melted cheese-perfect! I opted to pay an extra dollar to substitute very fresh fruit for the hash browns and chose the two small pancakes to round out a wonderful lunch entrée. The portions were just right; very satisfying without the doggie bag! The smoked chicken Caesar type salad included black beans. The hot tea was served with a full spoon of honey on the saucer which wasn't noticed until it dripped all over the table....I wonder how often that happens?
We enjoyed the ambience and the food, but I did not offer a 4 or 5 star rating because our waiter was very abrupt, rushed, seemed quite irritated, never engaged us or smiled and frankly...he was rude. He made us very uncomfortable.
In spite of him, I would not hesitate to return, expecting the same quality food and more amiable staff.
6. Al Bawadi Restaurant

Went again to Al Bawadi and again it was amazing
Was visiting town for a show and went with a colleague from work.
We order the food and it was delicious. Hummus, baba ghanouj and a sample with a variety of meats and rice.
The food was enough for 4 or more, which means portions and very well served.
For desert we ordered Kenafa, perfectly cooked and well served.
They don’t serve alcohol, which is usual for a pure middle eastern restaurant, but the mint lemonade was fantastic.
Bill was $75 for two which is more than reasonable.
Service was friendly and we were greeted from the entrance until the end.
Great place, will definitely come back.

It is a well managed coffee place. I am there almost at a daily basis as I live in neighborhood and they always get my order right, which is super important, as nothing can spoil more my mood than wrong order of coffee when I badly need coffee:)

I usually get the beer called crank it. It's fresh and tastes wonderful in my opinion. The crowd is friendly. Not a dive bar environment at all. I ride my Moutain bike and some how keep ending up here.

We wanted "good" sub sandwiches and decided to try Peppo's based on the reviews. We were so glad we came. The sandwiches where just what we were looking for. Fresh, quality and delicious. I got the ham, salami and Swiss sub with guts (a great fresh relish like topping) and giardiniera . It was delicious. One 11" serves two.
Staff was super kind and helpful. The restaurant was very clean.

Most Italian food in Chicago is good, but this place tastes more like being in Italy, outstanding. There are dishes on the menu that are not found in most other Italian restaurants. They also pour a larger glass of wine than most. We almost always have to wait for a table, but it’s worth it!
