    The building
    Robert M.

    Great food quick service family friendly, have a great variety for a menu. The beef was great

    Italian Beef

    From the food to the service everything was top notch! We split the full slab dinner and Greek Rotisserie chicken. Both were incredible! Love all the sides they came with too! My favorites were the sweet potato fries and cole slaw! The Italian beef was also super tasty! We ended our meal with an oreo shake and their homemade brownie! Both were delicious!

    My parents have been going on and on about the chicken they tried here and that they wanted to get me some while I was in town. They tried the chicken Vesuvius (I believe) and really enjoyed it, so they thought they'd try the fried chicken with me so we could have an easy dinner during the holidays. We went out to see some holiday lights and called in our order so that it'd be ready for us. We set the time, and then enjoyed ourselves on our way to go pick up the food. We each ordered the four piece chicken dinner with different sides to go. I picked the mac n cheese, the garlic bread, and the sweet potato waffle fries. First - the sides. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good. The right amount of cheesy and creamy, but the portion was small (pretty much expected when you get to choose three, but I should've chosen this one twice). The garlic bread tasted like burnt toast. A little buttery but the garlic wasn't really present so that was a bummer. Finally, the sweet potato waffle fries were soggy. This is always a risk when you get them for take out, but I was hopefully just the same. The chicken - it tasted like crunchy chicken. It was fried, but there was no seasoning or flavor in the chicken. It just tasted crunchy. Definitely a big let down. I asked my parents for clarification on their previous experience and they also said this was a big let down for them, and they also wouldn't give it more than two stars, although they'd add a third for the other kind of chicken. Pick up was easy, they're pretty centrally located, but the food? Not worth it.

    Omg! It's been while since I've reviewed on Yelp! I wanna say this place is the bomb! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with fries and cheese sauce & and fruit punch! It was delicious! Until my mon threw out the drink even when i told her no, which sucked. Anyway, the service and ambiance was on point! Very nice employees and staff! Will be coming back!

    9-23-20 half slab fries, baked beans, slopping over the side just out of picture garlic bread

    #42-2021 still local near my house good place to get ribs I have no complaints compared to some other reviews whatsoever. I'll just get good phone service or regular service if walk in I had it delivered it was there within the time frame no problems at all. called in a half slab of ribs three side choices french fries barbecue baked beans and garlic bread. also a pepper and egg sandwich with an order of french fries. said it would be there within 45 minutes to an hour it was. tasted good like the ribs always do fries might have been a little bit more fresher but that was okay. Slap some barbecue sauce on them too and good to go. you're never going to please everybody there's one absolutely stupid review here where a guy's bitching and moaning cuz you weren't allowed to eat inside get over it lighten up Sheila. but all in all I still when I want something as far as a rotisserie chicken dinner or Greek chicken dinner some ribs or sometimes a hero next is just fine.

    I like the vibe of this place and service is prompt and friendly…read more We ordered the sample platter which was plenty of food to split between three people and still have leftovers. YMMV depending on your party's appetite. Brisket - not the best I've had, but definitely good Pork Belly Burnt Ends - delicious! The sticky sweet sauce they come in is amazing. Pulled Pork - good Sausage link - meh Mac & Cheese - better than many places, but I'd probably try a different side next time Tater Tots - sooo good! Texas Twinkie - perfect flavor and jalapeno poppers and not usually my thing Pickles and pickled onions - so good! Pecan pie - took this home to eat later and it was one of the best pies I've ever had The BBQ sauce at a place can make it or break it. I didn't care for the vinegar based one, but their honey bbq sauce is delicious. I appreciated that they gave me a cup of it automatically when I asked for a to go container. Will be back!

    Love Matt's but lately I feel like things are off. Usually…read morecome here for the ribs which in my opinion are the best thing on the menu. Been coming here since before they had fries on the menu. Last 2 times I've gone they've been out of ribs so I've had to substitute. So I've gotten the burnt ends and a brisket slider. The brisket is decent. Very tender. With the honey sauce it's quite good. The first time I got the burnt ends they were a little fatty to be expected but honestly delicious. But this most recent time I got them I'm talking almost 80% fat. I had a huge chunk of nothing but fat no meat to be seen. I was so unsatisfied I came here to write this review. I also don't like the 1 refill with my sodas before they start charging me for refills Matt's is one of the 3 good spots in the walkable area with barrel and vine and the Mexican spot being the other 2 good spots. Hoping the next time I can update this review for the better but highly disappointed tonight.

    Okay, we heard so much about this place having the best hamburgers in CHICAGO! So we traveled to…read moreLemont which for us was close by. It's a little place reminds me of the "corner tavern" in Chicago where I grew up. A few tables and a bar. Clean place, music low so people can talk, couple of TVs with the Cubs and Sox playing. The menu is simple burgers, hot dog, sandwiches, etc and of course a menu for beers and wines. The Nick burger is a pound hamburger and little nick is a half a pound, I would recommend they add a NICK JR. Or Nicolette 1/4 lb. because I could not finish the little nick!!! In this Ozempic world got to think smaller! I wanted to finish that hamburger but man o man, no way! Hands down the best hamburger! I said it! Fresh not frozen, hand pressed! They don't sell fries, I didn't even miss them. The hamburger comes with a bag of chips! The hamburger came with pickles, they can give us half of the amount because that's a lot of pickles! Reasonable price which is unheard of these days! CASH ONLY! So go to the bank first!!! The waitress was very nice! A little bit of wait to get our food but in a hurried world it was just fine! We will go back! I heard the Italian beef is very good will give that a go! But that hamburger was juicy and little crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked. Bravo! Give it a go!!!

    Dive bar vibe with a super friendly staff…read more Burgers come with chips only. Not my preference but I can behind it. Pretzel bites for an app that were pretty tasty. Burger was pretty good as well. Not falling over myself to get back but worth a stop in.
