The shishito peppers were so sweet and tangy in the bacon jelly and cheese and oozed with goodness! The steak and chicken were such a great combo to share between my husband and I with both being such different profiles of taste and actually complimented one another. The steak itself was absolutely perfect and the bread under soaked up all those juices so you didn't have to lick the plate after (great ingenuity when dining out :)) The desserts were fantastic but the star of the show was def the raspberry blondie. It was everything I imagined and more. The perfect sweet and tart mixed in a bowl with spoons ... thank you for not plating this - I felt like I was at home about to sit on the couch and indulge in something I created. Perfect experience, perfect presentation and to top it off their restaurant is surrounded by their farm. Tomatoes, jalapeños, peaches, peppers, micro greens, greens, herbs..... with everything going on today in this world and every thing being recalled this is a place I can stand behind doing it the right way!

I brought my snowblower in for service. The engine started shutting off and would not stay running…read more When I picked up the snowblower I noticed part of the upper housing had cracked off and was missing. There is also broken plastic pieces in the front lower shroud. I'm not sure what was supposed to be there. The snowblower was dragging and scraping the ground as I was wheeling it to the car. After using it a couple months later (first snow greater than a dusting) the snowblower is no longer self propelled and is scraping the cement now . I had a wonderful self propelled snow blower before I brought it to them. Now it is not usable. I am a senior and don't have the strength to push this machine uphill while it's dragging on the cement. In order to finish my driveway I had to walk it uphill and only snowblower going downhill because it would get stuck on the cement . I also had asked for new paddles and was told it did not need new paddles. But 3 years ago when they serviced it they recommended new paddles. I will never bring my snowblower here again. I also had a broken choke handle. It was obviously broken I had a twist tie on it to make it usable. They did not fix that either . Yes they fixed the engine problem somewhat. It does not die on me but it does not run as strong as it did before their repair.

After nearly 30 years of living in Forest Park, I have never had a problem with a local business…read moreand especially not Shauers Hardware until September 1. I stopped in shortly after opening and purchased two 9/16" rubber washers for approximately $1. Since I didn't have cash, I used my debit card. The cashier informed me there was a $3 minimum purchase requirement. When I said I did not need anything else, a man I assume was the owner told the cashier to simply add $2 as "labor" to reach the minimum. I found it strange that I was charged an additional $2 for no product or service. Although it was only $2, it was still money taken from my pocket for nothing. After leaving, I recalled that businesses are generally prohibited from imposing minimum purchase requirements on debit card transactions. I called the store to discuss the issue, but the person who answered, whom I believe was the same individual, abruptly hung up. I then returned to the store, where he was waiting near the entrance. When I showed him information regarding the law as it relates to debit card minimums, specifically 15 U.S.C. § 1693o-2 (Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act) he responded, "I was the one who hung up on you. I don't care. Have a nice day. Go tell your President." Regardless of the amount involved, what disappointed me most was the attitude and lack of professionalism displayed by the owner. I have always tried to support local businesses, but after this experience, I will not be returning. The $2 isn't the issue. The issue is an owner who apparently believes the rules don't apply to him and treats customers with contempt when they're brought to his attention. I hope the appropriate agencies and card networks share his confidence.

Oftentimes I leave frustrated because at the chain stores I'm passed off or rushed. I leave feeling like I'm a burden because they're too busy having to take care of something else. The staff at Lemoi is the opposite of that. They're super friendly and I'm always greeted by someone at the front entrance. They're consistent with having ample staff ready to help if you need something or have questions. Last month I found an LED snowman face on their webpage and called their site to see if I could pick it up in store. Within a week, they had my snowman and I left with my purchase pleased with the service and quality of my product. They seem to have a lot of items in stock too. Months ago, I went on a separate trip with my dad looking for a missing part to repair his sump pump. He had visited Lowes, Menard's and Home Depot with no luck but happened to find what he needed here at an affordable price. Lemoi Ace Hardware has been in the area since 1895. The ability to stay in business for that long says a lot about the quality and service they put out. My recent experiences are testament to that and I hope they stay in business for generations to come.

A long time ago around 2025 this place nickel and dimed me…read more I ordered small cheap items like screws and stuff for a project at home. Thankfully I asked for a receipt. 1 day later, after working on the project some of the items I purchased were not the correct screws. It was then I noticed multiple and I mean almost several small extra charges of 1 cent to10 cents back to back on my receipt. These charges had no explanation. They were clearly malicious made up charges to make extra money off me. It was the son and dad thst overcharged me. I remember who was at the counter. I returned to Kims hardware to not only get the correct items but also to be refunded for the extra charges. I spoke to the son and father and I represented myself with great politeness, respect and professionalism towards them. They did NOT return the favor. I mean wow, they got really nasty towards me. Rude, very loud, and disrespectful. The son was the one who over charged me in the 1st place. The father was at first going to give me my refund but was a bit hesitant. Their was a slight language barrier but he was still really grumpy about it and then he got his son over instead of giving me the 2bucks and they both double teamed me for 5-7m straight. Tried making me feel stupid and using my age against me as many people think im 21yrs old. The son mentioned my education, why am I making a big deal over two bucks, no refunds allowed. Tried saying that I should've mentioned it when it happened and it's too late. That it was probably taxes or fair charges. When I started mentioning im a manager at a retail store, I know what chicago taxes are down to the exact number and I stated my age and my father being a tradesman, their confidence started to buckle. I also stated the law, the better business bureau, started to break down the receipt and what I actually bought and showed the same products on the shelves and what they cost and proved I was given hidden extra charges. After about the 6th minute of them quite literally belitting me, yelling at me and being mean and me holding it down and mentioning this is illegal the father threw the 2 bucks or so down at the table and started speaking in his native tongue to his son complaining. I told them multiple times to just do the right thing. Whats fair and just. Why argue and be mean. The son didnt care about any of that. I truly wish I wrote this review when it was fresh because I recall the son saying very specific mean things to me. They did all of this while customers were in the store and co workers were watching. As I prepared to walk out a worker that was listening apologized I had to go through that and said, "you're not the first person they did that to. Its happened multiple times. People getting overcharged, wanting to exchange or refund things. They try denying it and get all rude and mean". It's a shame really because my 1st day their was pretty chill. The asian dude with the long hair seemed nice to me when I first went there and helped me find my items even though they were the wrong items and he did not understand my issue when presented. The son who at the time had a shaved or bald head and the father are both nickle and dimers. Be wary. Check your receipt before leaving. Take your time and do the math. Someone should audit these guys. I'm pretty sure they are breaking a few laws and im pretty sure the IRS would love to take a look at them.
