A pathetic hot dog that is missing half of what Chicago dogs should have
Rick H.

Well that was a huge let down. Where's the poppy seed bun? Where's the tomato? Where's the celery salt? Tiny pickle wedge, not much relish and a barely noticeable amount of mustard. I won't be back.

Delish

I had a really great experience here. It's been about four years since I've been back to Little Joe's, and nothing has changed. It's still just as good as always. I'm back in town for work and, even though I'm in the area often, I just haven't made it back here. Now I wish I had come sooner. Instead of my usual beef sandwich, I went with a cheeseburger, and it was insanely good. The burgers are cooked over an open flame, the fries were perfectly done, and the folks working there were incredibly friendly. I'm already looking forward to coming back. And I have to add that I'm usually not big on toppings, but the lettuce, onions, and pickles were crisp, fresh, and delicious. They really made the burger.

Combo Sandwich
David M.

Nice little place and if you are a local. If you're a regular, they make sure you feel welcomed. I tried the combo with hot Giardiniera. The beef wasn't greasy. It was good yet bland and tasted like it needed something to boost the flavor. Same with the sausage. It had nice char but was just lacking that flavor. The homemade Giardiniera had more of a celery flavor and not heat. This beef has a lot of potential to be amazing.

Double Cheeseburger

Love Little Joes!!! Best burger in Countryside hands down. Good vibes. Good service and the food is always hot off the grill.

Great beef saMwich! I stopped in for lunch based on the reviews and was NOT disappointed. A lot of flavor in the tender beef served on what seems to be a gonella roll. Crispy crinkle cut fries. Watch out Johnnies! I found a worthy competitor! A must stop if within radius!

a sandwich with meat and peppers

Was in the area recently due to the death of my grandmother, and since little joes was one of her and my grandfathers favorite places, my dad, little brother, and myself of course had to stop for sandwiches in her honor. I've said it once and I'll say it again, it's my favorite Italian beef ever! It's savory delicious, and makes me think of my youth, and I always have to grab one when I'm back home. :)

Italian Beef Sandwich

Little Joe's is a locally own establishment in Countryside. My guest ordered the Italian Beef sandwich and I ordered the Italian Beef and Italian Sausage Sandwich. Both were good.

Burger Antics is one of the most fun and delicious burger spots in the area. They're always coming…read moreup with creative, flavorful combinations, one of my favorites had a ramp chimichurri that was so good I actually asked for a to-go container to take some home. The burgers themselves are top-notch, great blend, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The drinks are also excellent, with a solid variety to pair with whatever you order. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which just adds to the experience. It's a place that clearly puts thought and creativity into everything they do, and it shows.

Disclaimers: - No…read morethe inside isn't the biggest. I was a bit hesitant about that before going as well. - Yes it's really only a burger joint. They have different appetizers and things but not a super extensive menu Do not let these things deter you tho. They're just facts. This place was pretty delicious. Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice

The space has a cozy, neighborhood feel, and I love that it's a little different from the typical restaurant options in the area. The menu has a fun mix of elevated comfort food and café favorites.The MilkStop Chilaquiles and the shaved prime rib sandwich both caught my eye, ended up choosing the staple which was so delicious. I also really liked the location. It's in the West End of La Grange, a little farther from the main restaurant cluster, so it feels like you're making a little neighborhood discovery rather than just stopping at one of the obvious places downtown. Overall, I love the concept and the personality of this place. Cute atmosphere, good food, and a nice spot to slow down and actually catch up with someone. Definitely worth the walk/drive a little farther out!

Cute spot for brunch (though the rest of their menu looks good as well!) in La Grange…read more We were able to eat a late brunch around noon on Saturday without having made a reservation. They had a list of fun Bloody Mary's. My husband ended up getting the Flamin' Hot one, which came with Flamin' Hot Cheetos. He said the flavor was good. I ordered a chocolate croissant. At first, I questioned that it wasn't toasted or crispy, but I actually ended up really liking the texture and flavor. It was not too sweet. I ordered the shakshuka for my entree. I was told it would be very spicy. I am someone who eats a lot of spicy food, so I thought the spice level was very tolerable. The flavors were good. I was happy to have some leftovers to take home.

The atmosphere was very "we're better than you," which is ambitious considering half the room looked genetically connected to famine survivors and dock workers. The confidence level in that building deserves scientific study. I walked in expecting casual dining and somehow ended up in what felt like an audition for "Medieval Lords of the Suburbs." The staff acted like they were protecting ancient bloodlines instead of refilling ranch dressing. At one point I honestly wanted to ask: "Sir, are you judging me... while wearing a polo shirt with barbecue sauce on it?" The energy was aggressively holier-than-thou for a place where the main cultural contribution is fried appetizers and vodka seltzer. To be fair, the food was fine. But the side of racial superiority was a little harassing for my ego. If you're looking for a place to drink with historic levels of racism and naturally redheaded bartenders, this is the place for you!
