I stopped one evening with my little brother. He's friendly with one of the bartenders, so he likes…read moreto go and sit at the bar. He loves their pizza and said the beer selection is good too. We walked in during the bustling dinner rush and found the restaurant packed. The host greeted us warmly, and we found our way to the bar. The female bartender was there that my brother knows, so we sat down. I don't recall her name, but she was friendly and attentive. We both ordered blackened chicken caesar salads. The salads were pretty good. I honestly wasn't that crazy about the caesar dressing but it was edible. The salad and chicken were fresh though. Also, I didn't get sick, which is a plus considering the lettuce recalls lately. The portion size is generous as well. My brother had a beer flight too, which he always enjoys. The restaurant was crowded, but the bar area felt intimate. There were a lot of regulars around us, so people were familiar with each other. Everyone was friendly, which was cool. The environment was relaxed and comfortable. I'd definitely visit sometime in the future if the opportunity presented itself.

Found out about this casual restaurant in Oak Forest. It has a few pretty great options. New…read moreHorizon has plenty of beers if wanting to get those. A few teens may occasionally come in but most aren't. This is popular with the locals and matures. Coming here certainly makes one think about how they stay in business. It's often got an empty parking lot. Thankfully they were open when I got there. It looks like a basic family owned business. They have been running it for years. It's about $12 for the Spaghetti. This is basic and filling thankfully. Great place to get homestyle Americanized food and beyond. It's open daily unlike almost every other restaurant around here. There's basic American food that's got mediocre seasoning but people like it or whatever.

I called ahead to ask if they had steak, and they told me they were offering New York strip and…read moreribeye. That sounded promising, and since they're under new management, we figured we'd give them another try for dinner. Big mistake. They haven't improved at all--in fact, they've gone downhill. What they served as a "New York strip" was the same thin steak you'd expect with a steak‑and‑eggs breakfast. A cigarette is probably the same thickness as the piece of meat they brought me. I ordered it medium‑rare, and it arrived with a gray center. They did offer to re‑cook it, but I wasn't about to go through that. There's simply no way to cook a steak that thin like an actual steak, so I didn't even bother letting them try again. The place was practically empty on a Friday night--just one older man and a couple tucked away in a corner. Honestly, the empty parking lot should've been our warning. Total fail. Never again.

They were good! The service was ok, not like I had previously had. The previous service was great. The restaurant was good, some of the tables needed to be wiped but it was overall clean.

It could have used a little more sausage. I was surprised when they gave me four eggs, usually two. It was absolutely packed, with not a single extra seat available.

I'm pretty particular about things and I think this place is one of the best restaurants in the SW suburbs. For breakfast I usually get the Gypsy Skillet that actually comes with four eggs; never cooked wrong. I just recently ordered and now addicted to the Patty Melt that is a half pound (pure beef w no gristle) char/flame broiled that is not often seen and always has been perfectly cooked to order. They have great soups too! The waitress/waiters are all helpful and really friendly. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. They always have it decorated for each holiday with pleasant non-obnoxious background music. Alcohol is served, and they now have three Mimosa "towers" which I never even knew was a thing! I can't think of ANYTHING to complain about; worth your patronage for sure!

Bella Mia Fine Dining - Wine Dinner Review…read more It had been a couple of months since we had attended one of Bella Mia Fine Dining's wine dinners, so we were especially fortunate to get a last-minute spot for tonight's event. After attending several of these dinners over the years, we knew we were in for a great evening -- but this particular event exceeded our expectations. As usual, Randy was hard at work when we arrived, orchestrating his staff and making sure the 150+ guests were seated in a timely manner so everyone could begin enjoying the evening's wine and food pairings. The organization and teamwork were impressive, especially considering the number of guests being served. We entered through what will be the future banquet area, which gave us an early preview of the project. From what we could see, it looks like Bella Mia is creating what could become one of the premier banquet spaces in the area. It was exciting to see the final stages of construction taking shape. Once we were seated, everything flowed perfectly. The entire staff worked extremely well together, with each of the six courses beginning with the wine pairing followed immediately by the corresponding food course. We were also happy to see our go-to server, Beth. With the restaurant so busy, she usually had to talk to us on the run. The Six-Course Dinner 1st Course - Caesar Salad Paired with Mohawk Sauvignon Blanc The salad was fresh and crisp, with a tasty Caesar dressing that was nicely balanced. It was topped with a couple of crisp, well-seasoned croutons and fresh-grated Parmesan cheese. The only thing that could have made it even better would have been a couple of anchovies -- although getting anchovies onto 150 plates isn't exactly an easy task! 2nd Course - Italian Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers Paired with Argento Minimalista Malbec The Cubanelle peppers were cooked perfectly al dente and filled with well-seasoned sausage. They were topped with a rich tomato sauce that brought all the flavors together beautifully. 3rd Course - Baked Manicotti Paired with Siglo Rioja Tempranillo The manicotti noodles were incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. They were filled with a delicate cheese blend, covered in a rich red sauce and finished with just the right amount of melted cheese. A classic Italian dish executed very well. 4th Course - Chicken Florentine Paired with Julia James Chardonnay The chicken breast was nicely portioned and lightly seasoned, sitting over a flavorful light broth. It was topped with spinach and lightly browned melted cheese. The combination was flavorful without being overly heavy. 5th Course - Steak Vesuvio Paired with Don Rodolfo Art of the Andes Tannat The medium-rare steak medallion was placed over a slice of skinless baked potato, which sat over a light and flavorful broth. A few sprinkled peas added a nice finishing touch. The steak was cooked exactly as we prefer it and paired extremely well with the Tannat. 6th and Final Course - Tiramisu Paired with Duchessa Lia Moscato d'Asti The perfect way to finish the evening. The sponge cake portion of the tiramisu was moist with a subtle coffee flavor, surrounded by a light and tasty mascarpone cheese and finished with a dusting of cocoa. The Moscato d'Asti was an excellent complement to the dessert. Overall Experience My wife and I have attended several of Bella Mia's wine events over the years, and we can honestly say this was the best one we have experienced. We enjoyed every single course, which actually made it exceptionally difficult to choose a favorite. Each wine pairing complemented its respective course extremely well, and the progression of the meal made for a fantastic dining experience. It's easy to understand why these wine dinners sell out nearly every month. There is an incredible amount of energy and teamwork behind these events, and it seems Randy and his crew are constantly looking for ways to improve and make each dinner better than the last. Bella Mia's wine dinners are held monthly on Mondays, when the restaurant is normally closed. The events are posted on their website, and based on our experience, we highly recommend making your reservation early because they normally sell out. Another outstanding evening at Bella Mia Fine Dining -- and one we were very fortunate to be able to attend at the last minute. We are already looking forward to the next one!

There were several people already in line who were still looking at the menu, so they told us to cut the line. My sister and I both ordered the chicken kabob plate. Neither of us are big pita fans, so we didn't eat that, but everything else was delicious. The chicken was well cooked and succulent. The rice and potatoes were both seasoned to perfection, moist, and tasty. We were both pleasantly surprised by how good everything tasted. The salad was great too. It was fresh and offset the carbs perfectly. I had the Italian dressing which had a light and refreshing taste. We ordered takeout and ate the food a few hours later. It warmed up well at that time and the following day. The portion size is extremely generous, so there's enough food for a few meals if you tend to eat smaller meals. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service was fast and the gentleman that rang us out was very friendly. Both plates cost about twenty dollars, which is very reasonable for lunch. I'll definitely visit Just Kabob again!
