    Worst chicken sandwich since school cafeteria.
    Jeudi J.

    I want my money back. Nice young man at the drive-through speaker & window. I asked if I could do 2 sandwiches for the Pick 2 cuz I couldn't decide between the steak & chicken but it wasn't made clear that with the pick 2, the "chef's chicken sandwich" isn't AVAILABLE in half. So I actually got half of the steak and a WHOLE of the chicken, so 1.5 sandwiches. It was $18. The "chef's chicken sandwich" was $12 BY ITSELF. When he told me the total at the window, I was shocked but said "It better be great!" (I didn't want to get him in trouble for not being very clear when I ordered; figured I misunderstood something.) The $12 sandwich wasn't great. In fact, it was not even good. It was a smallish piece of chicken, rather dry, nothing special about it, on a plain regular-sized hamburger-ish bun, with a little tasteless mayo and some bottled buffalo chicken sauce. I'd asked for the pickles on the side (wasn't sure if I'd like them) and a slice of tomato instead; the tomato was barely red and white in the middle, it was so unripe. The pickles (luckily presented on the side as requested in a tiny cup) turned out to be some little deep fried things like canned fried onions. This sandwich wasn't worth $4, let alone $12. Also I thought the default side was chips (not worth much) but nope, they threw in a dry hunk of bread (with 2 SANDWICHES). I noticed on the receipt it said "no beverage" so if a drink was supposed to have been included for the $18, I wasn't asked what I wanted and I didn't know. By the time I figured it out, I was home and I live 15 miles away. And it was late and I was tired; the order took way longer than one would think. The steak sandwich was, on the other hand, fantastic; I should have just gotten that and saved $10. I seriously want my money back. I feel like I've been robbed. Shameful. Guess I should have heeded the warnings about this location but I order lots of catering and this makes me not want to use Panera for that either. What a ripoff.

    Nice service. Clean food. Employees are friendly. I just wish they'd clean up the tables... it's annoying to wipe off a table before sitting...

I dug in and enjoyed every morsel. It was well prepared, fresh, and delicious. I also indulged in a couple bottles of their smoothies, blueberry with avocado, banana, bananas, cane sugar, and a strawberry banana with the same cane sugar also vegan friendly. I originally learned of this place when I worked in Tinley Park a couple years ago and drove all the way from Chicago today to go there to treat myself. As usual, I was greeted with kindness by Chris, who was working the register at the time. The ambience is surreal, it provides a quiet place to enjoy your food, read, work or if you need to just reflect on life. This is one of my favorites and although they're not close to Chicago, it's worth the drive! I was a little disappointed that they no longer have my avocado rolls. I really enjoyed those but everything is still good. I wish I could get more vegan options on the menu but overall, Avocado Theory is a 12 out of 10.

We both enjoyed our meals. Hubby said his steak was seasoned really well, and he took half of my fish, which he also said was really good, and I agree. This is a great neighborhood staple, and we will definitely be back to try one of their burgers.

To be clear, the food is still great and the cooks continue to do an amazing job. The issue lately has been the service and overall experience, which unfortunately hasn't been the same over the last couple of months. The only consistency on the service side has been the Hispanic gentleman shucking the oysters ,he's always friendly, hardworking, and deserves recognition. I'm hoping things can get back to the way they used to be because this really was one of our favorite places.

VERY spacious, and you wouldn't think that from looking at the building in the parking lot. I will say this OFF TOP, I will be back. This place appears to have lots to offer, and I want in on the good stuff. They have party rooms, a massive bar and plenty of seating for friends, foes and the family. Adorable decor, but also simple. Its a bar/pub friends! Let's get to the sips and bites shall we! I ordered a cranberry and vodka. When it came, it was dang near clear, so I knew that would be my only sip for the evening and some water. lol We ordered starters/apps: Chicken Wings and Cheese Curds. Simple, tasty, hot and the service was SWIFT BABY SWIFT! Entree: I ordered Fish tacos. I had my fingers and toes crossed hoping they were going to be amazing. No sir, no ma'am. Flavorless. They looked great though. I ate half of one and gave to my sib for take home bites. I blame me, I should have ordered something safe, like a burger or something easy peasy. Sis ordered a Patty Melt with fries. Looked good, she stated it tasted amazing. Winner, winner, burger dinner! Bro order a couple things: Chicken Tenders and fries and a Quesadilla. He stated his items were delicious. We sat, ate, sipped and enjoyed the space. I would absolutely recommend this establishment for friend/family gatherings, or popping in for sips and wings. They have an assortment of homemade sips and eats, and their menu is pretty large. If anything, I will be back to try more options of things. Simple grub! Great location and friendly staff! As always, you don't have to take my word for it, go get you some!
