    Love this place. Family owned business with daily specials, homemade soups and bread. Great waitstaff, and if you are lucky, George will be there and come out from the kitchen to say hi. We have been going here for over 30 years and it is always consistently good. They have a fireplace in the middle and gambling in the back...what more could you need?

    Cesar salad no dressing with chicken that I didn't want
    Angie E.

    So I was recommended by a great customer of their fur lunch. Unfortunately my lunch was not prep according to what I order. My wings was not spun in Buffalo sauce, they are really wing dings or party wing. I ordered a Cesar salad without chicken or tomatoes or cheese. Well I had chicken, no tomatoes and no cheese and NO DRESSING. Who eats a salad without dressing. I tried calling several times and the calls just goes to Voice mail. Bad business and food! None of my food was tasty at all but I paid 30,00 for party wings no sauce and a salad without dressing.

    Honestly food was good but very standard. If you're looking for a quick and simple go to meal this might be your place. The service was okay didn't feel welcomed unfortunately and almost like we were being rushed out of there. The place was comfy and calm.

    Turkey Dinner to go!

    After a 5 day trip, no one wanted to cook - NEW HORIZON to the rescue. We've been coming here over 20 years and we are never disappointed! George is awesome and welcomes us when we come in and sees us out when we leave, it's like we are family! The soups are awesome with Cream of Chicken with Rice our favorite, but Split Pea is my close 2nd. Bread is baked daily and we love their specials. Tonight we ordered a couple of our favorites to go: Chopped Steak dinner and the Turkey dinner. Always good and great portion size. Oh, they also have great Ranch dressing. Lastly, I LOVE their Rice Pudding - it is the best I've ever had and I've tried it at many restaurants. They also have wonderful breakfasts, omelets are huge and very tasty. Good cup of coffee and friendly staff.

    Do they serve a chopped steak with onions?

    I would be willing to bet that they do . If you don't see it on the menu you can always ask . The owners are really accommodating and will go out of their way to help you out .

As soon as I gave my order I knew the food was going to be excellent. The politeness, hospitality, and attention to detail really make this place stick out. I ordered a double cheeseburger combo. I dined in the restaurant. All I have to say is......AMAZING! This was one of if not the BEST Burger I've ever had in my life. This place is truly an example of what a "Burger joint" should be. Think of it, fresh ingredients and everything made to order right in front of you. I'm going back next week, and I'm telling all my friends about this hidden gem! Outstanding experience! SB

    If you name your establishment Retro Burger, you probably need to make sure you're dealing out some…read moretasty burgers. Good news because the owner of this place did his due diligence. This carryout-only shop on Cicero Ave in Crestwood has been open for a number of years, and yet I've never managed to stop in?!? What's really strange is that I happen to be a guy who LOVES a good burger.. like, it's one of my favorite foods. Anyway, I stopped in on my way home from work recently, and it was well worth the trip. I'm guessing the owner helped me during my visit, as he was the only one working. As mentioned, Retro Burger is a small, but very clean space with an extremely limited menu. That speaks to me. Pick a handful of things you're going to serve folks and then skillfully execute them. My burger choices were either "Hamburger" or "Cheeseburger". Now both of these options feature a 1/2 pound of beef, and we're not talking about pre-made, pre-formed or frozen burger patties. This gentleman opened the cooler, took out a tube of fresh ground beef, cut off a 1/2 pound, slapped it on the flat top and gave it a press. I knew this was gonna be special. The brioche bun is steamed prior to a quick trip to the griddle. The grilled onions were dropped in the deep fryer for a minute and then plopped on the griddle next to the burger patty. The bacon came next and it was crispy. Gave the burger a nice crunch without being overwhelming. The lettuce and tomatoes are fresh... you're probably picking up the vibe by now. This cheeseburger was no joke. Very tasty, and made with care. The rest of the menu consists of a hot dog, a polish sausage and maybe one other thing, but the reason to stop in to Retro Burger is for the burgers! The cheese fries were fine, but nothing to write home about. The price point is higher because the quality is there and you can taste it. There are 3 or 4 other places within 5 miles of this place if you're looking for a $5 Big Baby Double Cheeseburger, but I would strongly encourage you to spend a few extra dollars and get yourself a serious sandwich. I'll be back.

Their gluten-free toast is excellent. I will definitely go back. I had trouble once again, however, with basic communication and it certainly wasn't on my end. I wanted the breakfast taco special but asked for a side of gluten-free toast instead of the corn tortillas as it was described (I don't like corn tortillas). I was told they "aren't allowed to make modifications," which actually makes no sense. First of all, you're basically telling the customer they can't have the simple and sensible modification they're asking for and that's not OK. So, knowing how people in this part of the country are with understanding things, I said fine and asked to just make it without the tortillas... because apparently asking for a side of toast was too much information to put together. Well, that was confusing too. Not surprised. So, finally I just ordered the darn dish exactly as it was described and said, "OK, I will just scrape the eggs off the tortillas." Meaning HELLO, you're making the customer work to do something easy you seem to not be able to do. Eventually, another person came over (the manager?) and suggested they turn the breakfast taco special into a sandwich with gluten-free toast. I was dumbfounded. I've been in Illinois for 11 years (married) and people out here are just very slow to put information together. I don't get it and it's actually pretty alarming. So, anyway, the manager (?) finally suggested that they "could just make it without tortillas and bring me a side of toast." I was like YEP. That is exactly how I ordered it the first time. Welcome to the Midwest. But anyway, they walked away like I was the problem. Again, I've been dealing with this out here for years. Most people have no idea what's going on and they make everything more complicated.
