My waitress was great. In the past, I've had nothing but…read morenice dinning experiences at Amerika's. Today the french fries were the only item that was decent. The tortilla soup tasted old, the steak on the steak sandwich was not fresh and had absolutely no seasoning and there were maybe 2 small pieces of onions. My waitress was extremely understanding when I expressed to her my concern, she first offered salt and pepper and then she offered to replace with steak tacos, which I thought was really nice until I got them home and tasted them. The steak tacos tasted like spoiled meat cooked on a dirty grill. This is definitely not the quality of food I'm used to from Amerika's.

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.

I loved how knowledgeable our bartender was of their wine selection and each glass was better than the last. The dinner left a bit to be desired.

However, our server was great and super friendly.

Unfortunately we had a pretty mediocre time. The evening began with our waitress struggling to get wine tastings to our table. When asked for a white, we received a red after about 20 minutes. At that point two of our party asked for different beverages since obviously getting wine at a winery was proving to be an issue Then, the white wine tasting didn't show up until the food arrived. Water was never refilled despite promises to do so. And since we were waiting so long for the wine tastes, you would think the waitress would have asked if anyone else would like to order a different beverage in the mean time... Nope. When the food came out with a runner the waitress stopped and asked if the food was alright, but we had just seen it. She didn't stop by again until it was time to order dessert. Still no drink refills We ordered desserts, and one came out. We waited. And waited and waited. Nothing else came out. Our waitress was very inattentive, to the point we seriously considered just leaving when it looked like we were never going to see her again. We waited 45 minutes. I finally flagged someone down and asked for a manager and one never appeared. Another member of our party went to the restroom and spotred the waitress and explained the situation. We had been there three hours, and we were all very annoyed at this point. The restaurant comped the desserts and got them to us in a to go bag, and provided one bottle of the wine. The manager never appeared. Check had to be revised twice. Overall a very frustrating experience.

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.

We had heard about First Watch so once we picked up the rental car we decided to make it our first food stop. The restaurant is located in a shopping center so parking was super easy. As soon as we walked in I noticed how comfortable and family friendly the atmosphere was. At first the setup gave me a little IHOP vibe but once the food came out I immediately took that comparison back! We were a group of four and were seated right away. Our server came over quickly for our drinks and the food came out surprisingly fast. Everything was hot, fresh, flavorful, and seriously delicious. The staff was friendly, the restaurant felt welcoming, and even the bathrooms were clean which is always a plus. If you're in the Chicago area and looking for a good breakfast or brunch spot, First Watch is definitely worth a stop
