Full slab Ribs
Edward M.

I love the BBQ ribs here.I been coming here for years and the food here is so delicious and the service is amazing and Jose makes you feel like you're family here. If you like Bbq ribs this place is a must try and

Beef ribs
Mark M.

Was wanting to try Gemato's for quite some time and decided to after the gym. I called in an order for a half slab of beef ribs with corn and a baked potato. The lady said 10 minutes and when I arrived the food was ready to go. Very big indoor scene with plenty of seating along with the front counter you cannot miss! When I got home and opened the container I knew it was going to be good. Sweet and tangy sauce with a nice almost flare style bread to absorb the sauce. You can see by the pic that the meat legit came off the bones. Great smoke flavor. Corn was also very good. Sweet. So glad I stopped here and going to try the brisket next! If you're ever in the Chicago ridge area you need to make a stop in!

Great value Monday and Tuesday for their rib specials. Taste of the ribs and fall off the bone makes this a nice spot to stop. They also have an extensive menu. If you're in the area, give it a try.

Food was great and staff was very friendly. This is the 2nd time I was here and will be going…read moreagain.

After driving by this place multiple times and being repeatedly enticed by the aromas, I finally…read morestopped in to give it a try. Ambience 4/5: This place is fairly new and has been well maintained since opening (it looks like it's been around for roughly six months). Walking in, the space is very bright thanks to large bay windows, but the natural light isn't harsh -- you don't feel like you're under a spotlight. The restaurant had a mild scent of cleaning products, which wasn't overpowering and didn't detract from the food smells; it just gave the impression that the surfaces are well-sanitized. The only downside is the parking situation. After reading other reviews, I can empathize with anyone trying to come during lunch or rush hour. There's not much the owners can do about it, but it's something to be mindful of. Food 5/5: I ordered the chicken wrap meal and it was excellent. It came with two wraps (about hotdog-sized but longer, roughly 8 inches), a side of fries, pickles, and a drink. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and tasted like it came straight off the grill. The bread was soft and warm, and after checking their website, I learned it's made fresh, which definitely showed. The fries and pickles weren't anything extraordinary, but they were solid and paired well with the wraps. I saw another review comment on portion size, but as a 240-pound man, I felt completely satisfied with two wraps, fries, and a drink. When I return (which I will), I'm definitely trying the other meat options, as well as the veggie offerings -- especially the falafel, which is great news for my veggie-heavy wife. Service 4/5: I intentionally came after peak lunch hours (around 1:30 p.m.) to avoid the parking issues others mentioned. There were quite a few staff members present (~10 or so) as well as a gentleman who I believe was either the owner or the manager. At the time, I was one of only two parties in the restaurant. While the staff wasn't rude, I was a little surprised that neither the manager nor the employee who took my order greeted me or said thank you. It's a small thing, but noticeable. That said, the food came out quickly (about 10-15 minutes) and was hot and nicely prepared. Overall 4/5: I'm still a bit of a novice when it comes to Middle Eastern cuisine, but I know enough to appreciate the flavors and want to explore more. Nashmi, as a Jordanian food vendor, is shaping up to be one of my go-to spots when I'm craving these flavors. It hits the right notes and leaves me wanting to come back and try more.

Until recently, I was a professor at Trinity Christian College, and during the summers I taught…read moreclasses on Monday nights. Almost every week I ordered one of your half-price pizzas. Some pizza is delicious, some pizza is affordable, but Mid-Villa on Mondays is both. I never dined in, but the pick-up service was always quick and professional. With Trinity closing, I won't be around anymore, but I want to thank you for all the years of fueling my four-hour night classes. You are one of the best restaurants in Palos and one of the things that I'll miss the most.

I waited over 50 years to finally try Mid Villa Pizza again after remembering the original…read moreMidlothian location from years ago. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the memories. The pizza itself was a fair regular thin crust, but in my opinion it was nowhere close to what I remembered from the original place, despite the claims about using the original recipe. What really disappointed me was the customer service, which I would honestly rate as 1 star. I was told my order would be ready in an hour, which I understood. I even arrived early because of traffic concerns. Once there, I was told it would be another 15 minutes. Instead, I ended up waiting nearly 35 more minutes. Then came the moment that completely changed the tone of the experience. While I was still standing there waiting beyond my promised time, another customer walked in, placed a fresh to-go order for a regular thin crust pizza, and was told it would be ready in only 30 minutes. At that point, it felt less like a delay and more like I was watching my own time somehow carry less value than the next person through the door. That was the real "drop the mic" moment for me. You cannot tell a customer who has already waited well past expectations one thing, then immediately present a faster timeline to someone ordering on the spot and expect that not to leave an impression. After waiting half a century out of curiosity to taste Mid Villa again, I can honestly say that box has now been checked, and I will not be returning. I'll continue having my pizza gatherings in Homewood with The Pope's Favorite, where loyalty, consistency, and customer respect still seem to matter.
