    Birthday shots!! So much fun!
    Darlene N.

    I couldn't wait to do a review for this establishment! I saw that The Black Foodies had done a good review here and I've been wanting to try ever since. But what really got me is when I found out that they have Karaoke on Thursdays from 6-9 p.m. We have a Karaoke group that has been going to the same place for awhile now and we wanted to try someplace different while celebrating one of the group members birthdays so on 12/11/25 evening, we stopped in. We had made a reservation since it was 5 of us. This was the absolute BEST experiences I have ever had. Chez Bart welcomed our group and he just showed us how happy he was to have us there. We ordered the devil eggs, BBQ wings, Buffalo Wings, the Smashburger with sweet potato fries (those fries are a $2 upcharge but so worth it) and a variety of mixed drinks. Everything was DELICIOUS! Staff was so friendly, engaging and kind. Chez was ready for the Karaoke shenanigans to begin. There is a big screen and he has Karafun songs to choose from which is great because they have such a large selection of songs to choose from. He had 2 mics for us and those mics were so clear and strong to hear our voices - we were like WOW!! So, we had so much fun singing songs - other patrons came in and they knew one of our group members had a b-day so as they came in or left would wish her a happy b-day. Just nice people who were coming in either to eat a nice meal or pick up for carry out. It unfortunately got to 9 p.m. (closing time) and we knew we had to stop the Karaoke so we were trying to wrap it up and stopped. Chez Bart was like "why did you all stop? I didn't kick you out, keep going!!" We were shocked and excited at the same time. The fun continued. The staff was enjoying us being there and we in turn enjoyed staying there. Bart brought us b-day shots and let us try his espresso martini. When we were done, he was nice enough to give all of us water to go because he knew we were all going to be driving home and wanted us to be safe. Just so considerate! We found a new spot for our Karaoke. We told him we would definitely do a review on his establishment. Adele is his dear Mom and that is who the place is named after. They opened on 12/27/24 so it's almost been a year. They do have Happy Hour specials from 3-6 p.m. that I'd like to try sometime. We will definitely be back. He let us know that the nice things he did for our group wasn't for reviews but to be welcoming so that all what may be going on with us before we came there, we could forget and enjoy ourselves there which we all needed. Please patronize this establishment, I assure you, you won't be disappointed. Everything was 5 stars - location, food, drinks, customer service, fun Karaoke. Thank you Chez Adele, you went over and beyond for us and we will never forget it and will be back real soon!!

    Maafe chicken
    Jewel D.

    Highly recommend this little spot. Large gorgeous patio in the back. Cute front restaurant. The food was terrific. Menu has sandwiches and burgers, traditional, West African dishes, and even a kids menu. Tonight I had the chicken maafe and it was wonderful. The flavors did not disappoint, the portion size is perfect, and the price was affordable. My friends had smash burgers and said they were terrific. The owner was an amazing host and the staff really nice Working on their liquor license so BYOB right now. Greg, the Karaoake KJ, is a hoot for Wednesday night karaoke!!! I will be back and recommend you go too!! Update: they received their liquor license, and he can make cocktails that aren't on the menu!

    Went here for Happy Hour on the Thursday. A few of my friend's were there ahead of me and ordered wings. I wanted to order wings, too, but for some reason they didn't have anymore. So, I decided to order the plantains. I was expecting them to be flattened but they were cubes. Regardless, they were plentiful and good. I wanted something else so I asked for the Deviled eggs on the Happy Hour menu. Its two sliced eggs but the flavors were delicious! Its a must try. The super nice waitress was telling me about the West African spice used and that I need to try it on another dish they serve. Next time! For drinks I had their margarita, plain and one mango, which were decent. The vibe of the place was also cool: clean and modern. The 90s R&B and Hip Hop Music was bumpin. I plan on returning soon.

    Famous Smash Burger
    Steve W.

    This is going to sound insane but these burgers are now in my top 3 in Chicago! And I've tried Levitt Street, Red Hots, Small Cheval and many others but this one takes the cake. Right off the bat, a good start with the soft potato bun. Patties are very flavorful and not dried out as is common in other smash burgers. Sauteed onions are not overpowering and help add to the condiment selection of pickles, ketchup and mayo. Rounded out with a standard American cheese, which to me is the default choice.

    Philly Cheesesteak with Salad and House Smash with Fries
    Will C.

    Chez Adele has been a go to since they opened. The ambiance and service are second to none. The recent addition of a bar elevates the experience even further. Don't miss Karaoke nights either! They started a regular lunch service this week and as usual, it was outstanding. The House Smash was excellent as usual and probably our favorite item on the menu. The Philly Cheesesteak was delicious and we got a milkshake and it rounded out lunch perfectly! If you haven't visited this neighborhood gem you are missing out!

    Chicken Suya Bowl - (P)
    Alyssa D.

    Went for the first time for dinner last week. I went with an African dish (chicken bowl). Chicken had such good flavor & loved the fried plantains! Really want to come back to try their famed burger.

    Wings (yummy!)
    Sandra C.

    First off their smash burger is so delicious! When I'm craving this I make sure to come here! There is other food options and they are good as well. Service is great. It's a neighborhood restaurant but the owner Bart is very personable & friendly! The restaurant is very simple and clean. We've been here quite a few times I hope this places sticks around for a while. Good addition to the neighborhood!

    Fried Crispy Chicken Tacos

    Food was great and service was so friendly! I ordered the crispy chicken tacos and the Adele mocktail, both were delicious!

    aloha burger
    Taylor J.

    My experience was amazing. The waitress was very intentional with listening to what I was looking for and making recommendations. The Chef greeted us and ensured that we enjoyed our food. The food was tasty, flavorful, and fresh. I also enjoyed the music. I appreciated that the waitress continuously checked on us, refilled our water without a request, and asked if we needed anything else. I will be back !! Ps. The drinks weren't weak :)

    Great place for a BYOB dinner. Food was great and the people working there were awesome. Their burger was great and everything that came with it was also. I saw them bring out an ice bucket for a few couples that brought wine and glasses to match. Please check it out.

At noon, they unlocked the door, no hello or greeting - just straight behind the counter and to the kitchen for us to order at the screen in the front. The screen was filthy (they just opened as a reminder) we couldn't tell what was in the 'combo' and then when we were going to order the boneless chicken wings, as they were gluten free when we ordered them years ago, I asked one of the women in the kitchen to confirm. She said no, I don't think so. And walked away without any further guidance for what I might be able to eat on their menu. It's not a preference, it's a dietary restriction - so we walked out from there. They clearly had no interest in helping me or our business. A real disappointment after driving 30 minutes out of our way to try and enjoy it.

I'm not halal myself, but I appreciate supporting diverse dining options. Ordering online was easy though pricy--my four buffalo wings with ranch were ready in 15 minutes and were just over $12 (before tip). Pickup was simple, the staff were friendly, and I even got a bonus fifth wing. There were a few tables inside, but I chose takeout. The wings were jumbo and meaty, but the heavy breading and sauciness made them soggy rather than crispy--just not my preference. If you like thick, saucy breading, you might enjoy them. The first time I placed a takeout order, I unfortunately got sick afterward. The owner reached out and genuinely wanted to make things right, which I appreciated. That's why I decided to give them another chance on my own time and dime and order the same exact meal--I believe a business should be judged by how it handles situations, not just by one-off issues, which can happen anywhere. This time, I didn't get sick! While the wings weren't my style, Cluck'n Wings has friendly service, easy ordering, and fills a niche. If you're looking for halal wings with a saucier, breaded style, it's worth a try.

It was three of us meeting for dinner and some drinks. My friend had white wine, hubby had an Espressotini, and I the watermelon-cucumber marg. We ordered the cauliflower ceviche, the Cauliflower wings, and the Brussels sprouts as appetizer. Then as an entree, my friend had the Jalisco Burger, hubby had the Salmon, and I a Salmon Caesar Salad. I personally loved the salad and the appetizers were great. Everyone else ate ALL their food, so I assume they also enjoyed it. The location was actually having an 80s night and there was a Dj and space for dancing. There were some people there dress for the themed night and it was just a great vibe. Talking with our friend and eating made us lose track of time and then it was time to leave but before we did, we met one of the owners who actually recommended I come by and visit. (Shoutout to Marcos ) He is the most warm and sunny person, and he was so grateful we actually came by. We had a shot and honestly I'd come back because of him. He told us a little bit about him, his family and about the restaurant backstory. I truly recommend you coming here, you will have a great time. Oh, and almost forgot, they have outside sitting, so you know it will be a great time when you just want to have an outside patio vibe with friends and some drinks. P.s. As you can tell, there are only two pictures. I was so, involved in the moment with my friend's stories and then the appetizers came and nothing else mattered. We all lost track of time and just enjoyed the vibe, the beautiful night, and time with friends, drinks, and food. Oh and 80s music.

It was served with aioli and a healing serving of chips. I've never eaten seafood and been vegetarian for over 30 years, but my boyfriend had a taste and also thought it was good and said they got the right flavor profile.

Loved how cute it was inside and that they had music but it wasn't loud. FYI the style here is self service; you'll order at the counter and take a number back to your table to wait for your food. They have a paper menu but note that there are some pizzas listed up at the counter that look to be seasonal/rotating. If you're ordering for pickup or ordering ahead, maybe consider calling ahead to make sure you know all of the options. LOVE how they have both single slice or whole pie options. We got truffle fries, the mushroom pizza, and the bbq chicken pizza. FYI the pizzas took ~30 minutes to come out while people ordering by the slice obviously got their food a lot sooner. Next time we'll probably come and just order by the slice. The pizza was DELICIOUS!! It came out hot and with a very CRISPY bottom! The mushroom was my favorite but honestly really liked both. Jimmy's was both generous with toppings while not over saucing the BBQ chicken (which made it both easier to eat and kept it from getting soggy). So glad we decided to try out a new place!!
