nice little place with some outdoor seating or eat standing up at the counter. If i had a "foodie" that travelled to chicago for a hot dog this place would do well. Hot dogs and the normal accouterments for a chicago taste. food good, service great, owner nice young lady that deserves your business.

We were visiting the area and decided to stop in for breakfast. Great selection of eggs, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, french toast, egg specialties, skillets, and crepes. We enjoyed our burrito and pancakes. They also serve lunch items, have a number of items for kids, and are open sevens days a week.

We went to a concert at Tinley park and stopped here ahead of time. Wow we were pleasantly surprised. The beer selection and quality was amazing! Food was good as well. We had a waitress who was actually from Ireland which made the experience even more authentic! Don't judge a book by its cover - give this place a chance

Now I know oysters taste like whatever they are dipped in. I don't know what the fuss is about. (12 for $15 with a nice presentation). My meal was very good. Lake Superior whitefish, grilled with garlic glaze. $22 for enough to bring home half. It came with crusty zucchini sticks which were delicious, though I should not have eaten the breading. Couldn't help myself. The servers were very attentive and accurate. The place was sparcely populated on a Thursday evening, so it was quite enough to convere. My husband was not as impressed with his swordfish ($29), saying "fish in Florida" is better. He didn't leave a bite, however, and loved the smashed potatoes.

This place is a hidden gem. I have driven past this place probably a million times and never stopped. My parents have gone there so many times and I finally went with them. Everyone is so nice and friendly! The food is so good, been there for breakfast and dinner! We will be back very soon!

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.

Sometimes the quality of a restaurant can be determined by their service and attitude during a time when they are very busy. Such was the case this past Valentine's day when we arrived at 7 pm. This well-established restaurant, almost a hundred years old, serving high quality steaks and seafood was jam-packed. All of the tables were taken and at least 30 people were waiting to be seated. The restaurant manager, Jim Abbott, was stationed at the end of the bar near the entrance to the dining room. He greeted everyone. He even handed Fannie May Heart candies to the women as they came through. It was quite obvious that many of these guests were repeat customers that knew him and knew the restaurant and he knew them. This festive evening was set off by this friendly, robust, exciting atmosphere. As diners departed the tables were quickly and efficiently reset. We were seated within 30 minutes of our arrival. Our complimentary relish trays were presented by friendly and cheerful waite and bus staff and our order of T-Bone steaks and filet mignon were delivered promptly. We had a thoughly delightful evening.

My daughter and I stopped for a early dinner on the way downstate. I picked up 14 bottles of wine from the wine club. [Yea]. She had the shrimp and scallop risotto with spinach and basil, and I had the grilled scallops. Both were very good. We were disappointed that the shrimp and grits were off the menu; they will be back in the cold months I am sure. We got there about 4:30 pm and parking was easy. Service was excellent.
