FIRST THE FRIES AND CHEESE 10/10, will return for just these fries they were kinda nostalgic and made me want an RC (royal cola). The WRAP il give it a 8/10 - taste was amazing but the CROUTONS were too big in my opinion. You go to take a bite and it's all crouton that's scraping the roof of my mouth. Perhaps if the croutons can be smaller bite size pieces they will not overwhelm the wrap. Kinda want to ask if they will give me the messy fries in a wrap?

Chicken sandwich and fries. Both were very good…read more The fried chicken in the sandwich is about 40-50% bigger than most other restaurants. Very crispy crust and well seasoned to your choice. Handcut fries are very generously sized and cooked in tallow. I think I'd need to eat regular fries with the tallow version side by side to truly appreciate the difference. Regardless, the fries are so good! Between ketchup and cheese sauce on the side, the fries have no chance of getting monotonous. Seriously, together this is a lot of food!

Greek Salad was sizable. What makes this place really stand out is the excellent service. Our server June C is the quintessential hardworking restaurant professional who is efficient and engages her customers with just the right amount of friendly, personable banter. Restaurant was bustling on a Monday for lunch, which says a lot. Many of the lunch crowd seemed to be regulars. Food came out fast, but we didn't feel rushed. We'll be back.

I couldn't read the vibe well enough to tell if it's the kind of place you could hang out for a few hours working on a coffee if you had, hypothetically, a ton of time to kill in Elmhurst. But at a minimum it's a nice place for an unpretentious civilized breakfast.

The hot dog is served with mustard, onion, relish, and sport peppers on a non poppy seed bun. The special comes with two hot dogs and fresh cut fries (my favorite). The fries come wrapped with the hot dog, the only problem I has was that one order of fries was salted very heavy, while the other no salt at all. One of my favorite things to do is to read Yelp reviews while eating. I did learn a new term today, a depression hot dog, which is what they serve here. The dining area was clean as was the washroom. They also have a little gambling area here.

It's kind of modeled after Gene n Jude's place in River Grove, given its mustard, onion and relish only, and the fries are cuddling the hot dog in the bun. The service was very quick and the place has ample seating and a few slot machines. If you want a quick in and out place, with good fast food, without any frills, I recommend this place.

He was incredibly flexible, responsive, and made the whole process so easy for us. The outdoor patio was beautiful and ended up being the perfect setting for our reception. The food and drinks were a huge hit. We got endless compliments from our guests, and people were still talking about how good everything was afterward. One of my favorite moments was when we realized we didn't have anyone to cut our wedding cake. Without hesitation, Joe stepped in and did it for us. It was such a small thing, but in the middle of a crazy wedding day, having someone willing to jump in and help meant so much. We are so grateful we chose Golden Boy for our reception. Joe and the whole team helped make our day feel special and stress free, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun spot for dinner or amazing event space!

Their inside feels like a greenhouse with tons of glass walls around but they also have a large patio (some shaded, some not spots). On Saturdays, they do 1/2 price frozen drinks, $1 wings, and $17 buckets of booze. I tried the Frozen Espresso Martini which was the perfect patio sipper! My friends got the Redtide which was a bit tart for me but they loved it. For food, we got some shareables for the table: Elote, Mac & Cheese, Ancho Carrots, and Cornbread. All the sides were amazing but the standouts were the elote and carrots. For meals, everyone got a mixture of Sandwiches and Golden Boy Plates. The Pig & Bull Sandwich was tender, packed with flavor, and loved the sweet slaw paired with it. Even on the plates, the meat was all juicy and tender. I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot and cannot wait for more warm weather to come back! Be sure to check out their weekly specials for extra deals!

It absolutely satisfied my cravings. If I had ONE suggestion for Blackwood BBQ (in Oakbrook, Illinois, specifically), it'd be to EXPAND their (indoor) dining area. This place can get PACKED, especially on weekends. The tables are pretty close together, so when this spot is BUSY, you can really begin to feel a bit suffocated and overstimulated, with all the people being all packed up tightly. Regardless, the food is delicious. It's worth the (temporary) discomfort (for those who choose to eat inside, as opposed to taking it to-go). It's worth mentioning that they DO have an outdoor dining area as well. Normally, I am a fan of sitting outdoors, but in this case, it was a stormy afternoon.

Pro tip: call ahead and ask if they have chicken. After reading some of the reviews, I was worried…read morethat they might run out of chicken. I know it sounds silly but this place is about a month ago and is still busy. The staff are all very nice. They told me it would take 20 mins for my 8 piece meal (4 thighs and 4 legs). It comes with 2 fries, 1 coleslaw, and 4 dinner rolls. Plenty of parking when it's not too busy. They have 3 tables and 6 barstools at this communal wall table. Prices were very fair. The food was piping hot when we received it. They have two restrooms: As for the butter crust, butter is most likely added to the flour. You're not going to take a bite out of the chicken and expect to taste butter flavor. However, you will taste seasoning on the skin as well as the chicken itself. Most chicken places I've been to, they usually only have seasoning on the skin, not the actual chicken. We devoured the chicken because it was seasoned and juicy. Although some pieces might have had a bit too much salt. I'm not a big fan of crinkle cut fries but these were also seasoned. They taste better when you order cheese with them. Coleslaw and dinner rolls were good. I wished they provided butter with the rolls. I would come back.

This restaurant boat the flavors of several cultures, Guatemala (Glenda's home country), Cuban and Puerto Rico. Tucked away in a little strip mall. The atmosphere was quiet with mix match tables and chairs playing authentic music. The walls were covered with pictures of the food and various sayings. We started with Ropa Vieja quesadilla very tasty pulled pork with chihuahua cheese. Chapin dinner (Churrasco steak, chicken breast, longaniza guatemalteca, rice, black beans, sweet plantains, and hand-made tortillas) the chicken was juicy seasoned well, steak was a little dry and the longaniza sausage was extremely spicy but still flavorful. Thalia's burrito (Steak filled with rice, beans, chihuahua cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, and avocado.) the burrito was filled mostly with vegetables with a sparse amount of steak. And a traditional dish Pepian (A thick chicken and vegetable stew made with roasted spices blended together. Served with rice and hand-made tortillas). I enjoyed this dish a lot, chicken was tender and with the broth very tasty. The hand made tortillas were the best I ever had, the plantains we soft and sweet. I give this restaurant 3 1/2 stars, try it and let me know what you think. Ciao Ciao for now.
