    Grilled Chicken Breast

    The food was delicious and the waiter was very helpful and did a great job of taking care of us!!

    tuna melt

    I hate to write this review, but, I came on a Friday afternoon for lunch with my husband. I wanted something lighter so I ordered the soup & sandwich combo. The waitress said on Fridays their special is clam chowder so I ordered that along with a half tuna melt sandwich. The clam chowder is cooked in house and unfortunately the potatoes were still raw. The waitress offered me the French onion soup instead and that tasted just okay. The tuna melt wasn't bad but nothing I'd write home about either. I tried my husband's cole slaw but sadly that was missing salt and any flavor. The waitress was super nice but I don't think I'd come back here for the food.

    Food is good, service was good. I love the old pub feel on the inside. They have an outside patio that looks awesome for when the weather is warmer out. Overall think it's a great place!

    Mini burgers with cheddar.

    Food is above average, nice outdoor patio. Service is pleasant but inexperienced. Had tater tots on the side with my Mini burgers, highly recommend. My dining companion had chicken kebab. The food is excellent The restaurant has a nice old school vibe. Nice selection of cocktails and beers, bottles and draft. Plenty of on street parking and in the nearby Metra lots.

    Great and friendly staff with a great atmosphere. Older crowd that gets rowdy and sometimes emotional here but overall a fun place. Food is good but I usually belly up at the bar so couldn't really tell ya. Recommend.

    Outdoor patio

    Great hamburger place! Huge burgers with lots of toppings. Good fries too. Outdoor patio was pleasant and they have live music on certain evenings. Fun place to hang out with little ones and watch the Metra train. For dessert, there's an ice cream shop around the corner as well.

    Very tasty chopped salad. Fresh chunks of avocado, crispy tortilla strips, beans, corn and juicy tomatoes.

    This place is a little hidden behind trees at the Glenview Metra station. Thats probably why this was my first time here after driving near it so many times. I knew it was there but just hadn't made the effort. I sat outside for lunch and the setting was very peaceful since it doesn't sit on a busy street. I heard more birds than cars. I saw one Metra and one Amtrak train pass while I was eating my very tasty Cobb salad. I'd rather see a couple commuter trains pass by than a bunch of loud cars and motorcycles any day of the week. The salad had fresh chunks of avocado, crunchy tortilla strips, corn, beans and juicy tomatoes. They were out of the house balsamic so I got the honey mustard which was very good. Certainly not gonna subtract a review star for the dressing since the salad was great and the outdoor, shady quiet patio was a beautiful setting. I'd like to come back for a burger since a huge part of the menu was different types. The young server Sam was a very friendly, nice young man. Really nice place.

    The food is great but don't go to the bar!! Bartender Rob was very angry and inappropriate. Totally ruined our experience.

    It's a great place and beers are great. But the Friday fish fry is catfish, no matter what the menu says.

    First time at Americanos. Not crowded for a Thursday…read moreafternoon at five. Greeted by two of the staff. Friendly and polite. We talked long with the bartender and a young man that worked there. Order a few drinks and talked with these two guys for fifteen minutes or so off and on before we even ordered anything. Just felt right, small conversation great atmosphere. We each ordered the three taco plate. I had one fish taco, one elote taco and one Arrachera taco. My wife hard three pork belly tacos. Hard to say which was out favorite because they were all equally as delicious and bursting with flavor from the fresh ingredients. We will be returning soon the March to try their corned beef and leprechaun margaritas before it's over. A must try restaurant in Norwood park.

    Just had an amazing time at Americanos! The GM and bartender were both so nice! We had reservations…read moreand were greeted by the door by the GM. The vibe was very comfy, not too upscale- think "chillaxed" vibes. I came with 2 girlfriends and we each had a different type of margarita. I got a pitcher of the cucumber margaritas and it was my first time having a cucumber margarita, and it DID NOT disappoint! Very might recommend! The bartender, Sean/Shawn was amazing! I also got to try their seasonal blood orange margarita, which was also delicious! We had the flautas appetizer and for my entree, I ordered the chorizo taco and the pork belly taco. I didn't even make it to the pork belly taco because I was full off the flauta and chorizo taco lol. The hot sauces that they bring to your table in the squirt bottles were bomb dot com!! Spicy enough for some "flava" but not burn your bottle hole spicy. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment for the vibes (I requested they play Bad Bunny and they obliged- zero questions asked and no pushback) and the food! If you're ever having group get together or small party, this place would be great! They also have brunch on the weekends which I will bring some moms back for, for some "Momosa" Dates! Americanos- you may as well give me a special discount code or something, at this point.. you'll never get rid of me!

    I have been wanting to try this place because my sister was raving about it. When you first walk…read moreinto the place it's really nice. The service was great they were checking on us and following up on everything and very attentive. Now let's go to the food my sister recommended the shank I opted for the pork tank I think they also have a lamp one but the pork one was really good and super tender you don't even need a knife for it you just cut it with your fork or spoon in the meat comes off the bones right away. The pasta we ordered was also good came with the sausage it was the sausage rigatoni with sausage. My sister recommended the crispy brussel sprouts she said it was really good but we opted to go for the octopus I feel like the octopus was over seasoned a bit but it was cooked perfectly really tender. Will definitely be coming back to this place to try more stuff on their menu. Happy eating!

    We had made a reservation a month in advance to try a new restaurant on Father's Day. However, as…read morethe day approached, the weather forecast consistently called for thunderstorms, heavy rain, and possible flash flooding. We decided it was not a good idea to drive to an unfamiliar area in inclement weather and canceled the reservation on Friday night. We were fortunate that Social Inn is close by and is a great restaurant for celebratory dining. Best of all, they still had reservation available. As it turned out, it was just light rain the entire evening on Father's Day, but we didn't regret the change at all. Although the restaurant was not filled to capacity, it was bustling with many families celebrating Father's Day, creating a festive vibe. It's the first time that we met the owner, Daniella, who's so warm and welcoming. She invited us to choose from available tables in three different dining areas. We selected the table right by the lounge that had a large TV, homey décor, couch and cocktail table. It was also right by the big window overlooking the small and charming front patio. Our server, Chis, was very friendly, pleasant, and attentive. I ordered a Lemonade ($3), my husband and daughter each enjoyed a glass of Mer Soliel Reserve Chardonnay (2 for $26). We shared a Grilled Octopus ($22) which was cooked to perfection. The warm, lightly charred pita points paired well with the creamy and tasty beet hummus. I had a Slow Roasted Lamb Shank ($39) which was tender and full of flavors. It was a very generous portion that I shared a big piece with my husband; and still had leftovers to take home. It made a delicious lamb sandwich for my next lunch. My husband liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) so much last time that he ordered it again. Our daughter enjoyed her order of Rigatoni Sausage ($23), another generously portioned dish that she couldn't quite finish. By the end of the meal, we were too full for individual desserts, so we shared a Crème Brûlée ($8), which was the perfect sweet ending. All in all, it was a wonderful dinner. With consistent delicious dishes, warm hospitality, comfortable seating, and a convenient location, we will definitely be back again.
