As soon as I walked in, I saw so many goodies I knew I was taking home. They had a very well curated selection of fancy condiments from small makers, rare ingredients, and the highest quality version of many every day foods! Everyone behind the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable. I had to try one of their sandwiches and got the salmon po boy at their recommendation. It was really well seasoned and super fresh with a very generous slice of fish on it. Definitely coming back for another one next time I'm in the area! Thank you so much for great service and products!

We agreed upon Q-BBQ as the place to be, as we have both enjoyed sharing a big ol' plate of barbecue at other restaurants before. We did not regret going to Q-BBQ at all. You order at the counter, and you seat yourself with your order number in hand. The service is fairly quick and efficient. The main space includes a sink where you can wash up before and after you tackle your food. Three kinds of sauce are featured, and I'd say I favored the sweet Memphis sauce over the zingy Texas and the vinegar-y Carolina sauces, but I suppose that is a matter of personal taste. Buy a bottle of sauce to go if you choose. We went with the Lil Q Platter, which is a "smaller portion" than the Papa Q, but that was fine with us as this includes 5 kinds of meat items and 3 sides if you count the hushpuppies that are yummy corn fritters. Yes we had ribs, burnt ends (basically savory dense cubes of solid meat), pulled pork, beef brisket, and even sliced turkey. The Mac-Q-Roni with a smidge of cornbread topping is excellent and fought valiantly with the meats for my taste buds' affection. The cole slaw was OK as the most nutritious item of our meal. We also enjoyed cans of Revolution beers, and cups of ice water. We were very satisfied by the variety of food and the overall portion size of the Lil Q Platter.

We absolutely love Russell's Barbecue! I have been coming here since I was a child. My brothers…read morealways ordered burgers, my dad loved the pork sandwich, and I was obsessed with the Roast Beef sandwiches. You have to use the barbeque sauce... I mean one hand on your sandwich and one hand on the barbeque squeeze bottle. You need to squirt the sandwich before each bite... If it is not dripping your not using enough. Give it a try at least once. The fried mushrooms and onion rings were also a favorite when growing up. Now that my husband and I are trying to eat better... We get one meal with coleslaw and fries and one coleslaw with corn and we divide them up so we are not eating too many fries. They have fountain drinks and you fill your own cup. There is plenty of seating. Tbere is a covered indoor patio section and picnic tables out on the grass on the other side of the parking lot too. The bathrooms are cramped but at least they have bathrooms. They have video gaming machines, and lots of televisions with closed captions. They play oldies music loud enough that you don't hear the people at the next tables conversation. The dining room is very relaxing and service is fast and friendly. When you approach the ordering counter, you see the menu on the wall. You place your order and receive a number placque. They give you your drink cups as soon as you place your order and pay. I love that you can fill your own cups (free refills on fountain drinks too) They bring your order to the table. Tbere is a lot of paper waste, there should be a better way to serve the food but this has been working out well for them for many many years! If your planning on visiting Brookfield Zoo it is only about 5 miles from here and a great place to get some dinner and relax afterwards. They have kids meals, booster seats and high chairs. #KidFriendly

For 4 wings and fries it's $10.59 before tax! Fortunately, on Mondays and Tuesdays they have buy one get one free which is a much better deal. What seals the deal for me with Uncle Remus is definitely the sauce. My order was made fresh and hot. The service was good and the restaurant was clean, including the restroom. There are tables for those that want to eat there, but most people take their orders to go. There's convenient parking on the side of the restaurant or on the street. I don't have the chance to stop by often, but it's definitely a treat when I do.

Hello yelpers fat boy is back. Well I was comparing Longhorn to Texas Roadhouse..... i finally got…read moreinto Longhorn. The wait at this place is absolutely ridiculous. We got there at 12:58 we were told it'll be about a 20 minute wait. Ok fair I guess they had only been opened 2 hrs. Needless to say we waited 35 mins. Finally we were seated. Our server was JP very nice young man. But he was overwhelmed as this place is just ridiculously small and busy. I ordered the "Longhorn" since I'm comparing the Porterhouse Steak . I observed the restaurant being kind of run down. Nothing great about the look. Some open tables some booths and a small bar area. We waited another 35-40 mins before the food came! They didn't have steak fries so I ordered the baked potato instead. Not much potato not the best. 5/10 My wife had the surf and turf. Her steak and lobster was cooked nicely to her liking. She said about a 8/10 but her baked sweet potato she said 5/10 My steak was cooked perfectly!! It was 22 Oz. Flavor was good. A nice charbroiled flavor and it was seasoned well! They topped with butter that added additional flavor! I'll have to give that steak a 8.7/10. We spent a total of almost 3 hrs there. ‍ because of the LONG wait times to be seated and to receive your order is unacceptable. Other locations are probably different. I'm figuring because of the price of the steaks is why they're so busy. I go to Harry Carey for my steaks actually better dining experience, better quality of the steaks and sides. But I wanted to compare these two and see what's the hype about these two franchises. And it's definitely the price. Both places you can get a porterhouse for $35! Whereas when I go to a more upscale steakhouse a porterhouse runs me at least $125! But again it's double in weight and it's Prime cut. With that being said. The service and wait times is better at Texas Roadhouse. The sides, salad and definitely the rolls are better at Texas Roadhouse but the steak was better at Longhorn. I'd rate them even..... one isn't better than the other. It's really a preference based thing. I'm going to stick to my Harry Carey's for the best steak and experience. But For the price you can't go wrong with Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse! Remember Yelpers ALL reviews are subjective.

They sat us in the very back of the restaurant which was odd because there was so much open space in the front. We decided to share the entree since we weren't sure about the serving size. We had the outlaw ribeye. We also ordered a rack of ribs and the parm chicken. Everything was seasoned nicely.. I would even say.. a little salty for me. The waitress was very nice and knowledgeable.

I just had to visit Surf's UP - Maywood after discovering its collaboration with Good2Go Veggie…read morewhich I have tasted at Vegandale, a vegan food and drink festival. Surf's Up serves a Good2Go product on their menu being the Shock N' Shrimp. When I discovered that, I just had to visit because since Vegandale I have been on the lookout for Shock N' Shrimp throughout Chicago. As a vegetarian, I am always on the hunt for plant-based foods. So, I chose and made my way to Surf's UP which sits within a short distance of the hospital I work at in Maywood. I ended up ordering their 8 Pieces Shock N' Shrimp which came with Fries, figuring that it would fill me up rather than the 3 Pieces Shock N' Shrimp. I always love ordering online via yelp because it is convenient! Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. I encountered the issue of my order not going through via Grubhub, resulting in me having to call Grubhub to cancel. All went well with that process, and I was refunded in a timely manner by Grubhub. And at the time, the employee was patient, even when receiving the call from Grubhub. Since I was already onsite, I resumed the ordering process after the employee got off of the phone with Grubhub because I just had to have the Shock N' Shrimp. And no more than 10 minutes from the time I placed my order with the employee, he completed it, and I was well on my way. As for my food, the Shock N' Shrimp tasted wonderful! To complement the taste, I was given barbecue dipping sauce with them which I absolutely loved. And I just cannot go without mentioning the Fries which were not too overly seasoned. I enjoyed the Fries equally as I did the Shock N' Shrimp. With there being other items on the menu that I would love to try, I am very well open to visiting and ordering from Surf's UP - Maywood, or any other Surf's UP location again. And with that being said, I share my endorsement of Surf's UP with you all. Ambiance: 3 1/2 | Service: 4 | Food: 4 Recommendations: Vegan Chunky Chili, Lar-Bear's Beyond Meat Bowl, Vegetarian Bowl, Anthony's Beyond Meat Burger with Fries, Vegan Shock N' Shrimp, Shock 'N Shrimp Tacos, Cheese Garlic Corn Bread Muffin, Fried Biscuits, or any of the Sides. ~ Oh darling, let's be adventurers ~ Thomas G
