We were strolling through Oak Park looking for somewhere to have dinner when we found lake street kitchen and bar and decided to try it.Service was good, sat outside, and the ambience was lovely. Nice and relaxed, no rushed feeling, and really good, not overly priced, food.Kids and adults all enjoyed it, a definite winner!

Healy's Westside is fantastic if you want a fun, casual atmosphere, lots of space, and good value for your money. They do great drink specials, including $1.75 domestic taps on Tuesdays! On Mondays kids eat free with a paying adult. Healy's is BIG, and great for large groups. The big front windows open, which is perfect and gives the bar a patio-feel on nice days. Try the fried cheese curds! You won't be disappointed!

Specialty Smokehouse, Gastropub. The Wild Onion Brewery's second restaurant location. Located directly across from Harlem/Lake Green Line CTA station.
Reviewed By Bruce M
We had Chris as a server and he was pretty darn good. He offered choices and explained the many craft tap beers they offered. He explained they were not made there but at a sister craft house, thus the name Tied House. We had the Tied House Burger which was great. They were busy but we did not feel rushed. They had a large group next to us that was having a lot of fun but certainly were not rowdy. Young and old frequent this establishment, grandparents and grandchildren are made comfortable. There was supposed to be live music but the person had not arrived by the time we had finished. I could go back to this place and that means it has my recommendation.

Okay, so parents each had an adult beverage, $6 each for a bottled alcoholic cider and a vodka Tom Collins (not call, but got Smirnoff or some name vodka according to the bill); a bit steep for a beer joint. We ordered a kid's grilled cheese, a burger, and a Portobello sandwich, all came with French fries. That's all. Fries are especially good, everything else, just okay. The waitress was also the bartender and busboy. I really wanted to like this place after reading some positive reviews. It's in the neighborhood and probably owner operated, so we wanted to support it. But after spending fifty bucks and feeing ripped off, we won't go back again. Buona Beef and Russels Barbeque offer similar items, but tastier, at lower price point. Old School Tavern, you are not a shiny new sports bar or brew pub which are springing up all over, so adjust your prices if you want to develop steady clientele to keep you in business in this competitive neighborhood.

We have been here several times this past year. The beer is always fresh and we love the small batches and rotating selection. For a brew pub, they serve excellent food. You cannot go wrong with any of their flatbreads or salads. Their pimento cheese and hummus appetizer is fantastic! Service is friendly and the place has an upbeat vibe. We will definitely miss Exit Strategy when we leave Chicago this Spring!

Going towards what we thought was "Checkers", we ended up in this place called Cheddar's. The theme of this place is warm, sociable bar with comfort food. The menu has lots of fried chicken, fried and grilled steaks and combos that include meat, chicken or shrimp.The pricing seems good for the volume you get, however my Philly cheese steak was just "ok". The problem was a very soft bun, wet with some gravy and cold melted cheese on top, that made it difficult to eat by hand. Once you start cutting past the cheese to eat the steak, it was obvious that there just wasn't that much steak in there.My guest had a steak and fried chicken combo with some sides, that seemed ok. The fried chicken is apparently the dish to have. In fairness, we arrived close to closing time and the staff seemed to be entrenched in clean-up and end of day rituals. The place is clean and friendly and given another opportunity, I would go for some of the combos, and not be in a hurry.

Oak Park's Best Hotel Bar and Restaurant. Featuring Chef's Seasonal specials, fresh seafood, ribs, and chops.

We didn't exactly visit the restaurant but we did order room service in the Carleton Hotel which is provided by Barclay's American Grill. The food is delivered extremely fast and the service was great from the staff. We ate room service food from this restaurant several times during our stay and would certainly return to the hotel and have food from this restaurant again.

Reviewed By Sherry C
Our son goes here all the time to watch football games, so when we were in the area, this was suggested for a late lunch. We were greeted and seated immediately upon our arrival. The server was very attentive during our entire visit. The main bar area definitely has ALOT of tv's, so I imagine it's very crowded whenever various games are on. We were seated in the back dining area, where it was definitely much quieter. There were 5 in our group, and we all had a different menu item. Everything was good. All the men were part of the clean plate club - the women took some of ours home, as we couldn't finish it all.

We sat outskirts de because the weather was perfect. Our waiter came over right away with water and introduced himself. The atmosphere is very casual and the sidewalk area was very clean. We ordered quesadillas and a burger. Both were very good. I definitely would go here again
