They share the outdoor space with Fitzgerald's (bar and music venue) and that seems to work well for everyone. I'd give them a 5 for atmosphere and vibe and probably a 3 for the food.

The service however was good & I appreciated the persons help in deciding what to order. The theme inside is on par with what you'd expect. $20 for everything pictured & the pickles were free to help yourself. Maybe I just ordered the wrong things, not sure if I'd try again.

I was so excited to finally get to Cigars and Stripes…read more Tavern in Berwyn to see "Svengoolie Show" showing the movie "The Fly." Unfortunely it was a bad experience! We were told we can't sit in front of the 80" tv flat screen because it was reserved for "Workers!" Mind you , there were only 4 people in the place at 5:30pm . Then , the place had no lighting ! I almost Tripped. I couldn't make out the menu for drinks And asked the 80 yr old bartender woman if there We're drink specials on Saturday? She says "No". Later finding out " Bloody Mary's" weee $5 on Saturdays. I had to stomach a Pabts Blue Ribbon For $6 and a Miller Lite $6.50 ! I couldn't make out not see the food menu , it was so dark! So I passed! I left 1/2 hr into the fly and went to another bar! The bathroom needs to be knocked down!! Horrible! All in all should have watched the "Fly" At home on my 50" TV. N

I guess that's OK mac & cheese disappointing a little bit too on the liquid side not a big deal they're not famous for their mac & cheese and I know it's hard to get good. Help servers are a bit on the young side. That's OK but a little smile maybe taking the plates away when we're done instead of piling them up Best Buy had come and remove the dishes. I'm OK with that. We got there before I got too busy otherwise not too bad.

Carnivore in Oak Park…read more This is a butcher shop and fish market that also sells sandwiches I can't really decide if the old time decor is by design or if the place is really needing an upgrade. I actually think it's the latter. It's a lot smaller than I imagined with very limited seating. We went here for the grilled salmon sandwich. We had seen many online reviews saying it is amazing. They make the sandwiches right in front of you, so you know that they are fresh. We took our sandwiches to go and by the time we got them home , they were cold. The fries traveled well, but again they were also cold bu the time we got home. The grilled salmon sandwiches were very good, but not great , and I really would have loved to have eaten it warm. Prices are on the high side for the butcher meats. But I guess you should expect that since they are an artisanal butcher. I did not like the look of some of the meats in the cases. Would we go back? Maybe to try the Bacon Burger. But we would definitely recommend eating your food in the butcher shop and not taking it to go. I have just found out that that are moving into Carnival Grocery in Oak Park.

As soon as I walked in, I saw so many goodies I knew I was taking home. They had a very well curated selection of fancy condiments from small makers, rare ingredients, and the highest quality version of many every day foods! Everyone behind the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable. I had to try one of their sandwiches and got the salmon po boy at their recommendation. It was really well seasoned and super fresh with a very generous slice of fish on it. Definitely coming back for another one next time I'm in the area! Thank you so much for great service and products!

They carry our favorite beer, Allagash, which was a nice bonus! The food was very good. Cheese curds to start, yum! I ordered a burger that was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and John had the chicken sandwich, which he also really enjoyed. Everything came out fresh and well prepared. The corner location was quiet when we visited, and while it is winter now, the outdoor seating looks like it would be fantastic in the warmer months. I also loved learning that Kettlestrings is the name of the founding family of Oak Park. A thoughtful, well done neighborhood spot that we will definitely be back to.

Just my opinion though. But if a place is empty at rush hour go with your gut and walk out! It's a red flag!!!! Especially when it's the middle of the week and every place else is pack elsewhere!
