Don't waste your time…read more I feel like I need to write this to speak to the car guys and gals who have fond memories of the original Duke's. This is going to be long and you're going to be disappointed. I'm sorry. The History. I went to the original Duke's Drive-in with my dad for the first time when I was 6 almost 50 years ago. It was magical. The yellow lights, the sign, the soft serve ice cream, the oldies playing on the diner speakers, the full lot of hot rods and American muscle--moments etched into my brain for my whole life. I have some great memories from those cruise nights. I was sad when the drive-in closed and sold the lot, but with the retirement community across the street, it was always destined to end. Fast forward to the new location, some 20 or 25 miles south of Bridgeview. They have been here for a few years now, and I figured I had given it plenty of time to hit their stride. No longer close to where I live, it took a lot of time and effort to get there for the regular Saturday cruise night. We missed the entrance to the location twice because we couldn't see the diner behind the gas station and car wash, and the one way lanes offered nowhere to park for non car show participants. Once we finally found parking at the tire dealer next door, the fun started. The plan: food first, then walk the cars. We entered the gas station back door and found a single diner counter inside the station, between the pop coolers and the Icee machines (that were out of order). We ordered our food and waited. The floor was sticky like fly paper. The pop machine spit out flat, warm pop as if it had been unplugged for the last week. The faint smell of bathroom cleaning chemicals and fry grease were wafting in the air. Yum. We headed outside in order to not eat inside of a gas station, and found the only open picnic table 15 feet from a giant propane tank and ice bag chest. Wow. Looking around, there were not as many cars there as we expected--I figured we might be there a little early for the rush of muscle cars. The Food. EVERYTHING was beyond salty. I'm writing this a day later and my lips still burn. Holy crap, take it easy on the sodium. That's not flavor, that hiding a lack of taste. The beef was dry, cold and besides the salt, had no flavor. Even "baptized," the $10 beef was nowhere near the "Best Beef" (according to WGN). Standard fare at Portillo's is light years a better beef. Warm pop and cold beefs. Excellent. To be fair, my wife did enjoy her chili cheese dog (also super salty) and my daughter liked her Chicago dog (though, we did have to make 3 emergency bathroom stops on the ride home, so do the maths). The Cars. I explained already my memories from Bridgeview. I also mentioned that I thought it was a light turnout for a beautiful Saturday night at 6pm. Turns out, once we sat down to eat, almost half of the cars in the lot decided to leave. I don't know where they were going, but the exodus of Challengers, Camaros and Mustangs was telling and hugely disappointing. I think I overheard someone say something about Rt66 drag strip in Joliet, but the empty parking spots they left behind was a bummer. Before we were finished with dinner, most of the cars I wanted to take a closer look at had left for who-knows-what reason. The Conclusion. I honestly went into our "new" Duke's experience with low expectations and a sense of humor about the "new" south side gas station locale. I wasn't disappointed--my low expectations were met, and the whole event made me laugh. The vibe of the old drive-in was epic, and absolutely has not been re-created in Mokena. The food at the old drive-in was great diner food with awesome beef, burgers and dogs, and buckets of almost perfect French fries. The cars at the old drive-in were overwhelming and intoxicating to a youth in the 80s. The old drive-in was the only thing on my mind the second school let out on Friday afternoon. The new Duke's is an inherited name and logo, and nothing else. It lacks character, charisma and any vibe of an old school cruise night drive-in. The food was mostly edible, and that's a low bar for a diner. The sticky floors and propane tank don't add to the mystique, they make you a punch-line. You can't recreate an icon if you are just looking to slide by using someone else's brand.

Hey fellow Yelpers! This was my first time at the Raising Cane's location in Chicago Ridge. Me &…read moremy boyfriend went through the drive thru since the line was really short. The service was fast & the food was very delicious. Customer Service: The staff we interacted with were friendly. It only waited for a little bit and then our order was ready. Food/Drinks: I ordered my usual, the Caniac combo (No coleslaw and sub for a Texas toast) with a Sprite light ice. It was very delicious! Tip to customers: I highly recommend asking for light ask because at some locations, they will fill the big cup with ice and not so much of your drink. By the way, Cane's ice hits different. I'm an ice lover and the ice is crunchy but also not too crunchy. Overall Experience: Overall, I always have a great first experience at the new location. I didn't get the full experience since I went through the drive thru, but next time, I definitely gotta to order at the restaurant and enjoy the outdoor patio. I hope this review helps Raising Cane's in the Chicago Ridge location, Raising Cane's in general, & its current and future customers. Have an amazing day!

First time, I was starving and grabbed a two-piece meal with shrimp while I was paying for my gas. I was skeptical since it's inside a gas station. That first meal was absolutely fire. The chicken was crispy, well seasoned, and not greasy. And the shrimp? Breaded and seasoned perfectly. Hit the spot completely. So I went back for a second visit just to see if it was a one-hit wonder and nope, it wasn't. I got the exact same meal and grabbed some other stuff to share, and I'm so glad I did. Not everyone can fry chicken. It needs to be well seasoned and fried to perfection and able to stand all on its own, no help from sauce. Bob's Hienies definitely passes the test and is worth a stop. Bonus: if you spend over $30, you get a free car wash worth $20, so that made my trip even better. But that's just my palate, don't take my word for it. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Well stocked with a delightful presentation. We purchased a red velvet cake (my wife's favorite) and peanut butter cookies. The cake was moist and full of flavor. The cookies were soft and flavorful. We purchased the same seasonings they use to cook the chicken in the store. Well priced and convenient. Side note: the owners have a link to purchase via Amazon. Show them some love. Gloria and Will were respectful and patient as I figured out what my aunt decided her order over the phone ( I hate not knowing g my order while at the register, love you, Aunty). Now, the food, I wish I had taken a picture. My wife had perch and wings; I had wings; my aunt had wings, too. Not only was the fish light and crispy, but it didn't taste like the chicken at all. You can tell they didn't take any shortcuts in using the same grease. The wings were sooooo good, fried just right. I'm a hot-and-mild person, so the proportions of both were spot on. This was by far my best experience. I've been to Harold's all over Chicago and Atlanta. Thank you to those running this place for the experience. I guess I'll have to make this my new stop when I'm back home now. I'll take pictures next time of the food.

WHAT WENT WRONG?? The first time I was here the food was…read moreperfectly delicious . Today the food was awful. The fish was paper thin and overcooked. The wings were also overcooked and we didn't receive cole slaw with any of the dinners. When I called the girl said they didn't have any made. HUH?? Who's problem is that? And why not? It wasn't even noon so it sounds like the people in charge are dropping the ball. AND that's something you let the customer know before they pay for less than what they should have. This is common sense. I also asked for mixed sauce on one of the orders and I didn't get that either. At least I got some sauce, right? While I was there someone brought their food back for NO SAUCE. SMH MGMT- please circle the wagons, have a meeting, do some retraining because what I spent over $30 on was not acceptable. I want to give it another shot but I'll wait for now.
