    Protien wrap combo with BBQ tips (yes ALL VEGAN )
    Dee M.

    This is my go-to meal when hungry and in need of something with a ton of flavor. The Smoke Protein wrap itself is filling but I love adding the bbq tips as the perfect somewhat sweet but savory finish. If possible I'd strongly suggest ordering ahead as there's nowhere to sit and wait. This is a small business and food is made to order. As of July 3rd the inside is still not available for dining due to the CDC guidelines in Illinois. If only rating the food it would be 5 stars but taking into consideration the whole experience, the atmosphere upon entering isn't inviting and the wall with pictures of the menu spread out makes deciding what to order somewhat difficult.

    Appe cobbler was delicious
    Soraya R.

    I got 2 words!! FOOD ORGASM! Everything was amazingly delicious. Never ever tasted something so good like this here. Definitely will be back! Oan their mac n cheese is to die for. Soraya is my name Daisy's dont you firget it

    4 item plate. This is greens, mac and cheese, yams and steak and gravy which is made from seitan
    Angela J.

    So this review is for the four plate items off of the hot bar. I wanted to try this place for myself since I such a fan of the originals Daisy's in Phoenix, IL. (I hate they closed down!) First of all this place was difficult to find and I know this area like the back of my hand! It's actually on 171st street and not Dixie Highway even though that's the address. I was traveling west on 171st and turned on Dixie Highway when I should have just went across the light and the strip mall was right there. So when I arrived it was clean and I was greeted by a young lady who told me I could sit anywhere. My order was taken for the hot bar and the young lady fixed it for me. I ordered greens, mac and cheese, yams and the steak and gravy which is made out of seitan. I'm not a fan of seitan and maybe it would have been better over some rice but I didn't care for the steak and gravy. The mac and cheese was okay. The greens and yams was delicious though. It also came with soup which I choose the lentil one and a dessert. I ate the lentil soup the next day, although I added a bit of nooch and tajin to it. (I like my food a bit more seasoned) I have to come back and review the peach cobbler that was dessert because I gave it to my girlfriend. So if I'm passing here and hungry, I'd stop for some greens and yams and maybe try something different on the menu. But I wasn't that impressed with the hot bar and wouldn't make a special trip just to go here.

    Daisy II is a total vegan restaurant. The day that I went (yesterday), there were chairs and tables but it appeared to be placed for waiting more than to sit down to eat. However, there was an announcement that karaoke would be held there next week. It definitely had the space to host events! I'd to say that if you are not vegan or never ate vegan food, this is one of the best restaurants to start a transition. The food is fresh and healthy. Because the food is fresh and in such high demand, be prepared to wait. I really like the smoked protein avocado wrap, ground protein tacos, fried cauliflower, fried mushrooms, and fresh fries. That is the only items that I have tried, thus far!! Very good eating!!

    OMG - Jerk Tacos with mushrooms : AMAZING

    I stopped in today for my meatless Monday dinner and I'll say this "don't judge a book by it's cover " the place could have been a tidy bit cleaner . However I was there and wanted to support . Let's just say I found my new spot for dinner on Monday's. I had the jerk tacos with mushrooms and the berry smoothie . SO good seriously!!! This place is a hidden gem !!

    JaCoby W.

    I must say the jerk wrap was absolutely amazing I'm not just saying that to just put a post. I can honestly say this was the first time that I actually liked vegan type food this was amazing

    You dont have to be a vegan to try their delicious food! I had a plate of 3 dishes that came with the most amazing West African Chili. To me, it was a meal itself! For my plate, I chose Mack and cheese ( amazing), greens ( delicious) and my kid chose onion rings ( perfect) We also were offered to taste curried tofu. It was delicious but I had tofu that morning for breakfast and it was just too much tofu for me to add to my plate. I would highly recommend everything we had that day. You won't be disappointed! I cannot wait to go back! So glad they opened not far from where we live.

    Half of a Southwest wrap and cauliflower
    Daniel G.

    I had a peanut butter and banana smoothie, the southwest wrap and cauliflower. Everything was delicious, the cashier was very kind and helpful, and the food really hit the spot. The cauliflower was especially delicious- breaded and spiced like magic.

    Grilled veggie tacos and eggplant nuggets.
    Nina E.

    What a delicious surprise! I visited them for lunch today. I was a little hesitant to order vegan food due to some of my allergies. The cashier couldn't answer my questions, so the chef came out to listen to my concerns and then recommended a meal: veggie tacos and eggplant nuggets. The eggplant was seasoned perfectly. The tacos were hearty and topped with just the right amount of cilantro. Well done! I'll be back soon.

I originally learned of this place when I worked in Tinley Park a couple years ago and drove all the way from Chicago today to go there to treat myself. As usual, I was greeted with kindness by Chris, who was working the register at the time. The ambience is surreal, it provides a quiet place to enjoy your food, read, work or if you need to just reflect on life. This is one of my favorites and although they're not close to Chicago, it's worth the drive! I was a little disappointed that they no longer have my avocado rolls. I really enjoyed those but everything is still good. I wish I could get more vegan options on the menu but overall, Avocado Theory is a 12 out of 10.

    It's no exaggeration when I say that my dining experience at Maple Tree Inn was one of the best…read morerestaurant experiences I've ever had! My niece and I couldn't believe this was our first visit, especially after hearing so many great things. This place is incredibly popular, so I definitely recommend making reservations. After checking in, we waited less than five minutes and struck up a fun conversation with two lovely ladies who were also first-timers. It was the perfect start to the evening. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and inviting, with Mardi Gras beads and colorful carnival masks throughout the restaurant that give it so much character. Our server was fantastic. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but he was friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations made choosing from so many tempting options much easier. Now let's talk about the food... EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious! To kick things off, I ordered the Creole Voodoo Zombie, and my niece had the Hurricane. Both cocktails were fantastic and set the tone for an amazing meal. My niece is an excellent cook herself and has dietary restrictions, so dining out can often be disappointing. That's what made this experience even more special--she genuinely loved every bite. We started with the crab cake appetizer and the BBQ shrimp appetizer, and both were packed with incredible flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the blackened ribeye, swapping the broccolini for the collard greens (worth the $3 upcharge!). The steak was perfectly cooked, and those collard greens were phenomenal. My niece chose the blackened red snapper étouffée, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Even though we were completely full, we couldn't leave without dessert. We shared the Mississippi Mud Turtle Brownie topped with marshmallow fluff and the strawberry shortcake. Our server suggested pairing the brownie with a butterscotch liqueur, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation--it was the perfect finishing touch and complemented the dessert beautifully. We've been talking about this meal ever since we left...and that's probably the biggest compliment I can give. In fact, we were so impressed that we made reservations for next weekend before we even left--and we're bringing two friends with us! Perfect for: Date nights, celebrations, or anytime you want a memorable meal that's worth planning ahead for. Maple Tree Inn absolutely lived up to the hype. 10/10--highly recommend!

For mains, we went with the Pitmaster's N'awlins Gumbo, Hickory Buttered BBQ Shrimp, and Burnt Ends. Every dish was spot on--flavorful, well-executed, and clearly made with care. The restaurant itself is pristine--clean, polished, and classy without feeling stuffy. Service was just as strong. Our server, Nick, was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Safe to say, it will NOT be another 30 years before my next visit. Highly recommend.
