Same as always and I simply do not like online ordering giving me a $3 discount just to find out when I go in to sign..they have adjusted my discount to $1.50 and charge my card another amount. How long have I been coming here???? NOT COOL AT ALL Barracos. NOT COOL AT ALL. FIX IT. read more

Barraco's - Entrance. - Pizza Near Me - Crestwood, Illinois

Stopped in again on Sunday 4/19 and had another great experience. Sausage pizza this time, and a medium thin filled up 2 adults. No service concerns at all. Stopped in here on my way home from a u14 soccer match with the locals. We ordered a large pizza for 3 adults and had all meat. The pizza was very good, as was the bread and the selection of beers on tap. The only hiccup was that I saw the bartender draw my beer and set it on the bartop. The waitress was nowhere to be seen so I went and picked it up myself, which was good because the waitress didn't appear for another 5 minutes. I'll be happy to stop in again if I'm in the area. read more

We ordered from here last week... We got the mac & cheese bites, poppers, mozzarella cheese sticks, Italian fries & 2 belt busters... The bad... The belt busters were cooked to medium-well (I asked for well), the top bread on our sandwiches was so hard that we could NOT bite through it we had to put a tiny bit of water on it & nuke it so it would be soft enough to eat... other than those it was good even though it could have used either some steak seasoning or at least garlic & onion powder mixed into the meat for a little more of a flavorful taste... The indifferent... the cheese sticks weren't great nor were they bad... they were your typical cheese sticks... for the price I honestly expected something a little bigger and maybe with a touch of Italian seasoning added to the breading... The Good... The poppers were really yummy BUT I wish they offered both the cream cheese filled and the cheddar filled since I had a taste for the cream cheese version lol... The Italian fries were SO good!!!! But for my Hubby they were okay because he can't handle the red pepper flakes lol... The AMAZING... OMW the mac & cheese bites... they are a piece of heaven on earth!!!!!!! IDK what it is about them but I have been having a taste for them ever since my first bite!!!!!!!!! They have this almost beer batter type quality not breading like some places do and it has this light flavor in that breading that is just... wow... They were so good that me & the hubby are considering ordering a bunch for dinner lmao read more

We were very disappointed in our meal at Brraco's. The restaurant was not very busy but we waited over an hour to get our food. The appetizer did not have any taste. Wen we finally got our food 2 out of 4 we're cold. In addition the wattres got our orders rong . We will not return to this restaurant. read more

My order arrived 15 minutes early!! Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti was delicious!! Snickers pie was really good!! I will definitely order from here again!! read more

I'm a server at this location! Please come back and request Lynn. I'm sorry about your past experiences, but I do care about customer service. I've heard way too many stories! It's upsetting to me. read more

I waited 40 minutes (was never told a wait time)for one slice of cheese pizza and when I received it cheese was hanging out of the box and I wasn't even offered napkins or a bag. I didn't check how it looked until I got home and at that point I was too angry to go back. The pizza crust was sort of unattached from the rest of the pizza, you could pull it apart and cheese was all over the place. I love Barraco's pizza and I've never really had a problem here before but this was extremely disappointing. read more

Barraco's - Pizza Near Me - Crestwood, Illinois

Well, I normally oder here because I get off late and they are open late, and I get delivery through Yelp and eat 24 with no problems. Tonight was different because they said it's too far for them to deliver when I get delivered here before with no problems being that they are 3 miles away...also first time ordering the Caprice salad and the tomatoes tasted a little spoiled..also I never had a Italian beef that that tasted so plain..but first time for everything.. read more

The only reason this has 2 starts instead of one is because our waitress Marcie was so nice! Now, my minestrone soup was sour tasting. I work in food and I know you go to the manger with a complaint- which I know she did- and the manger takes it off. Nope s/he didn't. I had to pay for sour soup. So disappointed. :( read more

Bread was great. The cream of chicken soup was extremely thick. It wasn't soup, more like thick paste. A little too salty. Salad wasn't bad but the ranch is a little sour. The chicken Alfredo was ok. Not worth $22. Felt like it was missing something (like garlic) and needed more chicken for the price. The chicken fingers and fries were good. No complaints. But again, not worth $16. The price really isn't worth going there. I won't be back. read more

By far, the worst food we have ever eaten. A truck stop serves better Italian than this place. I was horrified to see what was delivered from the kitchen. A sauce poured from a tin can probably Hunt's completely covered the pasta then it was clear they set the microwave on the popcorn setting rather than just a few minutes to heat up the food they may have grabbed from the lunch buffet 5 hours prior to our order. The waitress shrugged her shoulders when we politely declined on to go boxes to collect 95% of our un touched meal. Our martinis were not ordered dirty yet the sewer water that was delivered to our table at least provided a buzz to gag the few bites of dinner down. Food was in edible. This was our second disasterous visit and will be our last. Disgusting. read more

NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PIZZA PLACE. Tonight I ordered around $50 worth of food for delivery. As usual they forgot my house made ranch dressing. They have the last few times but I thought I would give them one more shot. BIG MISTAKE. My loaded kettle chips were delivered with the plastic lid COMPLETELY MELTED ALL OVER MY FOOD! I don't understand how they missed that as half the lid is completely melted!!!!! DISGUSTING!!! I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM BARRACOS AGAIN!!! I called to complain and they're going to send me another order of kettle chips. That was over an hour ago so we'll see. Hopefully they are PLASTIC FREE. read more

Worst ever the manager argued that I ordered something that i didn't then refused to fix my order horrible never again will i give them my business!!!!! I ordered a all meat pizza instead I got vegetables horrible management avoid this restaurant read more

They don't accommodate all forms of payment and they don't acknowledge their regulars. It's unfortunate they lost customers of 15+years

I called to make an order for delivery and the lady was so unfriendly. It was like I was bothering her by taking my order. Never had a good experience at a barracos. They must treat their employees poorly because they all seem miserable. read more

My first time here for dinner and beers with my brother. We sat at the bar since the restaurant was full. The food was pretty decent and the bartender was attentive. Prices seemed a bit high in my opinion. Whoever the manager that was on duty really needs to take notice when he has an off duty employee sitting in the bar all night quite drunk and yelling very loudly with his friends. I have a headache right now from all of his yelling. He was yelling at every employee that was working, yelling about how he won money on video poker, yelling about the wait to get a drink and yelling about how another employee is a bitch. How unprofessional to wear a company hoodie and act that way. Somebody should have cut him off. I'm pretty sure that John Taffer would have "shut it down". read more

It kills me to write this review. We usually get a thin pizza and a salad and appetizer. But with our last take out visit coming in at about $50, it's just too much to spend on pizza. I love the pizza and the sauce but a thin crust with 1 or 2 ingredients shouldn't be $30. It's just not right. I've been a customer for 20 years at this location, it's great pizza, but not that great. read more

This used to be late night go to delivery place however within the past few months, the business has declined. I ordered around 1 am and to be told at 1:23 am that you didn't have pizza left and it would be a hour and a half wait is kinda crazy. You didn't notice when placing the orders what you have left? I worked as an assistant manager at a pizza place so I understand fully. I just wish customer service could have been more effective. We order from you guys all the time lol. read more

If you are looking for decent Italian food skip this place. Yesterday we ordered pepper and egg sandwiches, one of the easiest things to make. They were horrible, dry over cooked and the eggs were burned on one whole side. I don't believe they had the nerve to deliver these to anyone. The eggs were so dry we could not even swallow them. Just had to throw them out. I would look elsewhere read more

OVER PRICED !!! Went there for lunch and couldn't believe they use a dinner menu at lunch. Management would be best to train your servers to let patrons know that the special bar pizza of $5 is good only at the bar BEFORE seating a party. Turn the heat on !!!! All of us had our jackets on during a January lunch. Sandwiches on menu are at $11.95????!!!! Throw in tax, tip and beverage and someone is looking at an $19/20 lunch bill.....un real and not a repeat in this day and age. These are downtown Chicago prices within a seedy blue collar area. You may argue that this is a nice "sit down" restaurant. Not so fast. The area it is in is nothing to write home about. And too many places within a one minute drive that you could have an equal quality meal for nearly half the cost. Want a nice sit down restaurant in the area? .......drive over to Palos Heights down Rte. 83 and go north on Harlem to any of four/five restaurants (10 minute drive) that you will get a better value Management best to start using a lower priced lunch menu. The place was extremely empty on a Friday. read more

This is definitely a 5 star posted here previously and it only show 3 stars not sure how that happened but pizza is awesome sandwiches are great people ( staff) are friendly .. read more

My wife and I went to this place on Monday, which happened to be President's Day, we had a groupon ticket and - Hey why not just let my wife describe what happened: "To all my FB friends that live in the Chicago area I am asking that you do not support Barraco's Pizzera. We had a groupon and called today before going there and told them we had a groupon and we wanted to know if we need reservations for tonight. They said no just come in. Once we got there the waitress said they are not supposed to be accepting them on a holiday but they would accept it anyway ...because the manager said they could. After we were done eating that waitress came to our table and said they could not accept it because the owner came in and said no but the mgr on the earlier shift told them they could accept them and they had accepted them earlier in the day. After speaking with the manager we asked to speak with the owner. The waitress came back and told us they decided to accept the groupon. When she brought our bill she said that she would be responsible for the amount as well as the other ones she accepted today. Why is it that when a mgr makes a decision the workers are the ones that have to pay. Knowing how hard these waitresses work we decided to pay the whole bill and never go back again. As my husband told the Mgr the way they treat their employees is deplorable." With that be very well stated, personally I didn't think the food was all that either - we went there once before and I had the lasagna, and really their was something wrong with the sauce as it had an off flavor, this time I had the shrimp dinner which was nothing more than 6 breaded shrimp that one can buy in any frozen supermarket - my wife had the eggplant - and it was just ok as well. In summary, "WE WON'T BE GOING BACK!" read more

I got a medium cheese pizza and fries from here and they were delicious. The only thing that I didn't like was how long the delivery took. I live fairly close to the restaurant and it took the delivery guy almost two hours to get to my apartment. Then when I paid him he didn't have change so he had to go back to his car (another 10 mins) and get the change. All in all, the food was good but I will probably dine in or just go pick it up myself. read more

We order from here ALL the time! The pizza is good, but not great. The grilled chicken dinner is a pretty healthy takeout option. The best thing this place has going is the Cream of Chicken soup! They have it everyday and it is TDF ! read more

We called in reservations for a party of 10 11/13/15 for 10:00 pm that evening. When we arrived, our table was not ready and then the service was horrible. Our waitress, Amber (redhead), had brought drinks and of course with our party being rather large and with new patrons, no one knew what they wanted. She had given us a few minutes and then came back. The party still was not ready but she made the comment "I feel like I'm just standing around..." I damn near lost my mind and that's when my whole attitude towards her and this establishment changed!! You're a waitress, the word "wait" is in your job description!! We finally got ourselves together and ordered drinks and our food. I don't think that I've ever waited this long for a pizza in my life!! It took almost an hour for four thin crust pizzas to come out and the restaurant was practically empty. We were cold, hungry, and upset. We would've been better off ordering it to go and buying bottles of liquor and pops for what we paid!! At least then we would've been satisfied with our service!! read more

Decent place for pizza - I usually have the thin crust. They have 3 other locations in the south suburbs. Rather extensive menu. One of the few places I can get an eggplant sandwich. They have a lunchtime buffet for $6.99. My only complaint about the buffet is its a little heavy on the deep fried foods. read more

Horrible experience last night here. My husband got a chicken parm sandwich that cost $10. The chicken was not done. He took one bite which he spit out and cut in the other half to see if it was done. Told the staff the chicken wasn't done and he didn't want anything else. Upon receiving the bill we learned only half was taken off the bill for his sandwich. We complained and were told by the dining room manager (and I use that term very loosely) told us that he didn't have the authority to take any more than half off the bill. Isn't that a managers job? He also argued with us and told us that over half the sandwich was gone when he saw it. I don't know where it went but I know my husband didn't eat it. We won't be returning and I would suggest no one else return either. Expensive food that is not worth the price. read more

Good, great, and terrible all in one. Food: Good Service: Great Issue Resolution: Terrible I'd been ordering from this location about 3 times a month for about 3 years before running into my first problem. Unfortunately, the way they handled the problem was atrocious. This happened in 2009, but I wanted to wait to post the review so I wouldn't get a delivery guy fired. I also waited until I got a new cell phone number so the manager over there wouldn't spit in my food every time my number came up. You'll see why... I had several friends over and I ordered three large stuffed pizzas as well as a few appetizers. When it was delivered, I was surprised to see that they had delivered three small thin crust pizzas. I told the delivery guy. He told me to keep the three small pizzas and he would return with our correct order. Apparently, he made the call to the manager on the way back because within 2 minutes, I had a call from the manager. The man was literally yelling at me as if this was my mistake! I told him the receipt was for almost 100 dollars and listed three stuffed pizzas. He then told me that he would send out the correct order, but he wanted the three small pizzas back. I told him my situation. I had a dozen hungry guys who'd already been waiting an hour and the delivery guy said we should keep them. He said, and I quote, "I really don't give a... (pause) I don't care! And that kid's an idiot. He shouldn't have told you nothin'. If one of those pizzas come back with even one bite taken out of it, I'm charging you for all of them!" He then hung up on me. The same delivery guy returned with the correct order. He apologized profusely. I handed him the three untouched pizzas and he handed them back. I asked what he was doing and he told me, "My manager told me to get the pizzas from you, crush them while they're still in the boxes, and throw them in the garbage while you watched. That's just stupid, so take 'em." I thanked him, gave him a $20 tip, and that was it. I haven't ordered from them in almost 2 years until tonight. I didn't deal with a manager tonight, but the food was as good, but not as good as it used to be. So, I'd say the the restaurant is a solid 4 star pizza joint as long as you don't have to deal with the manager. If you have a problem and get the manager I dealt with, expect a 0 star experience with a side of insults and aggravation. Oh, yeah, and I'm guessing "chips" the reviewer is the owner or manager. If that review wasn't written like a very unstealthy business owner, I'm a monkey's uncle. read more

This pizza is a hidden gem on the south side. It's quite delicious. The sauce is very authentic. And the crust is PERFECT! There's also a lunch special at the 95th location that's worth every cent. You won't be disappointed! read more

Takeout service has improved over the years, but the prices are just ridiculous for mediocre food and their delivery fee changes depending on how you place your order. The main thing they have going for them is a better variety than other places in the area, but again for the price I'd rather just eat the same old thing I'm sick of from somewhere else. read more

Ordered pizza two hours ago and our driver is just pulling in now. The only reason he is even here now is because we have been on the phone with him for 30 minutes giving him the most basic directions. Not sure if he was just dumb or can't afford a smartphone/gps/map or what but the service was terrible and I would definitely not recommend getting food delivered from here. read more

As soon as we sat down, a server brought a loaf of bread and some olive oil. The pizza and sandwiches we ordered were delicious. They have a large selection of beers to go with whatever one orders. We will be back. read more

Could have been a disaster but turned out great. Went here a few weeks ago with a very large party (23 people). My sister had called twice about the reservation indicating the number of people. I was among the first group to arrive and when they took us to the table it was only a table for 10. My sister was very unhappy and told them they had made a mistake. They asked us to go back to the front of the restaurant while they got the area set up for the entire party. They had to relocate a couple of people at some smaller tables to accomodate our group but we did end up with 2 tables right next to each other. The arrangement worked great. We had barely sat down and gotten settled when several large trays of appetizers appeared. They were complimentary due to the mistake with the reservation. This was really appreciated. After that the service was great and the pizza was delicious. I would definitely come back again. read more

Ordered takeout tonight. The calamari and Italian fries for starters were good. Calamari was a decent sized appetizer and the Italian fries had a spicy kick, which we loved. Bruschetta tasted fresh. The new York strip was ordered well done and was juicy and tender. Would order here again for sure. read more

Came here for a private party (in the party room) and I have to say I was impressed!! The food was very good (the pizza from Barraco's is always good and I've visited other locations in the past). We had salad, and then family style: fried chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and pasta alfredo, ice cream for dessert. I would like to come back to try the regular menu. Service was fantastic!! It truly was! I would recommend. Here's a tip... They have parking in the back behind the restaurant. The front lot is small, not that many spots and you can get into the restaurant from the back. read more

Love the 'to go' selections for drinks. Great service, loved the thin crust pizza. Bread and oil is very good. Relaxing, nice bar, lots of tv ' everywhere. read more

If you're going here on a Thursday make sure you get your beer from the bar. More than double at a table. Kinda bull**** since it's one place. read more

The take out here is great! Food has always been hot and delicious. Delivery has been timely with friendly staff. We have only used the Crestwood location. Their menu is extensive, with Italian dishes being their specialty. My wife and I hate to cook now, so we are really happy we found them. They have everything except Mexican. read more

I called an order in, told it would be 30 minutes? I got there, and had to wait an additional 15 minutes- everyone just standing around talking. It looked as if there was a manager present, but she only seemed interested in counting the drawer. Finally, my name is called....I asked the girl to double check my order? She said it was all there- all set! But when I got home I realized that they were still missing part of my order, I had to drive all the way back, and got just a "sorry I read your ticket wrong" let's bottom line this....There are too many kids behind the counter who should spend a little less time talking and pay more attention to what they're doing!!! Very disappointed!!! read more

The lady on the phone was extremely rude. The website was having issues accepting credit payments. Acted like I was lying while on the phone with my bank! Applied a coupon to online order..refused to apply coupon while on the phone to place the order. So ignorant she was. I was a regular customer. I won't be returning here. Staff has become so rude , always an issue every time, never fails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
