She also did check-ins during the 3 day process, to get input on your experience, answer questions, etc. The pick-up was very well managed, the food was prepared, packaged and labeled very carefully, there is minimal chance of making mistakes. Taylor was available for questions at pick up, for those last minute inquiries. Did I mention that all the food was organic, freshly prepared and delicious? Taylor also did a great job with off-boarding from the detox with recommendations for re-introduction of other foods. If you follow her guidance and make the sacrifice, you will experience the maximum benefits of this program. Prior to the detox, I was feeling sluggish, lethargic and having difficulty sleeping - despite the fact that I work out 5-6 times a week. It had been some time since I invested in self care, and gave my body a chance to reset. The detox did the trick, gave me the reset that I needed and I dropped a net of 3lbs ( I say net because it registered as 5lbs, but as you know we eliminate water in this process). Day 1 and 2 my body was doing the work of the detox, on Day 3, I literally popped up and was filled with energy. Bottom line - It worked! Call Noursihed..talk to Taylor, make the decision, do the detox. Your body deserves it, and you'll be supporting amazing women in business - happy bonus!

I think there were TVs around for viewing. We ate out on the patio. I was a little apprehensive as it is right on Ogden Ave., but it was rather pleasant. There was plenty of shade and the blinds hanging over the patio are adjustable. Our server was delightful and the manager also came over and spent a few minutes chatting. I was told that the BBQ ribs fall off the bone ~ just the way I like them. As promised, meat fell off the bone. I liked that I was given a separate bowl to deposit the bones to get them off my plate. Plenty left to take home for another meal. Wait times were appropriate ~ no delays. They are open for lunch and dinner so I will return.

He was confused but spoke perfect English. I pointed to my dog. He said he didn't know but it wasn't his decision so he went in to talk to the hosts. He returned saying they would serve me. There is no way this gentleman did not communicate this properly. He understood the issue and although shy and differential communicated well. He came back telling me that someone would take care of me. I floated, standing up for a bit, then sitting down in an overt place for 15 min. A server came out to quickly wisk me away when they noticed that I was expecting to be served. This means two things. They disregarded the busboy and did not give him a actionable response because of his nature or ethnicity. And secondly they established mistrust between me and the front of the house. I don't care about your dog policy by the curb. That is your discretion as a business. Please don't respond pretending that is the issue I am upset at the disrespect shown by the front of the house ignoring your staff, and my discretion and civility being ignored. I am leaving a 5 star review, not because i feel ok about this. But because your reviews show a high leaning to 5 and i dont want to impact your business negatively.

Seeing that there was one in Westmont, she asked if we could go for old times sake. We haven't eaten at one in a decade. So we trekked to Westmont. The hummus platter was just as great as we remembered. I always loved the pita and I still do. My Buddha Bowl left a lot to be desired though. It was mostly water chestnuts. And the additional $9 salmon add-on was comically tiny. With no flavor at all. It's a huge bowl though. Very easily shareable. My teen didn't love her bbq salmon. And she barely touched her potatoes. She didn't love her meal. She did however really like the sliders we got as an appetizer They still have the self serve fruit infused water that I loved so much. Service was good and the place clean. It was an okay meal. Not for $100 though. And not worth a trek to Westmont

My regular catchup group of colleagues and I returned here for our third visit to this wonderful,…read morechill, and delicious brewpub. As usual and as expected, the food and drink were top notch. We also incidentally met more members of the family running this place. For one, it turned out our attentive, friendly, and capable server was Kate T who we learned upon our usual server interrogation was the owners' daughter. The friendly owner husband and wife team, John and Tony Taylor, were also present and working the dining room, and it was nice to meet them as well and recognize them as excellent brewpub owner-operators. As for food and drink, I had my usual 3 beers and on this night they were: a Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% ABV), a Noon Whistle Gummylicious IPA (6.0% ABV), and a Maplewood Fat Pug milk stout (5.9% ABV). For food, I had a delicious Shrooms burger with fries ($18). The fries were really fresh and particularly delicious and perfectly lightly seasoned. Our party shared our usual and favorite appetizers also - mussels ($18) and pork belly bao buns (3 for $16). My colleagues ordered a panko chicken ($24) and a BYOBurger ($16) with tater tots (a $2 adder) for their well enjoyed entrees. For the record we had the following selections of beers and they were all delectable for the varying tastes amongst our threesome: First round was a Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% ABV) and a couple of Krombacher pilsners (4.8% ABV). Second round was a Noon Whistle Gummylicious IPA (6.0% ABV), a Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% ABV), and an Old Irving Della kolsch (5.2% ABV). Third round was a Maplewood Fat Pug milk stout (5.9% ABV), a Yuengling lager (4.5% ABV), and a Cigar City Jai Alai west coast IPA (7.5% ABV). The place was busy on a Wednesday evening, but it wasn't slammed like in our two previous visits. It was a delicious and fun outing, and thanks once again Neat Kitchen for delivering, and continued good luck!

First visit, but we are planning on future visits. This time of year, when the sun begins to set,…read moreit cools off in a hurry so we elected to be seated indoors. Unfortunately, we were seated in the room right next to the outdoor seating and the overhead door was wide open. Too cold to enjoy a meal so we were cheerfully moved to another table, near the hostess stand. So, with multiple dividers, the table was in the direct path of the breeze from the open overhead door. Again, waaaay too drafty for me. I did notice this mentioned in other reviews. They did turn off the overhead fan and that did help. The tables for 2 are just that ~ barely room for the food on the table with drlnks. Our second table for 2 was actually soooooooo close to the 2 women seated already, that I felt like we were a party of 4. I don't understand the placement of the dividers ~ it reminded me of a lab with various mazes for the mouse to find the cheese. And there are seats on one side of the dividers so you have booth seating at a table with chair seating. There are no booths. The onion rings were delicious, My Panko chicken also very good, and my husband enjoyed his grilled salmon salad. Too full to enjoy dessert. Menu is not extensive, but something for everyone. Staff was very friendly and most accommodating.

We went on a Monday afternoon around 11:30, and by the time we left the place was pretty well packed. I ordered a Bloody Mary to start, which was ok, but could have used more spice for a boost of flavor. The Turkey Stack sandwich was served on a soft, buttery pretzel bun with a generous portion of turkey. While the tomato wasn't very fresh, the rest of the elements were good. The side of cranberry relish was not to my liking, but that's just a personal preference. However, because that was the only spread choice, my sandwich ended up being a bit flat in taste. The steak fries that accompanied were good, but also could have used a bit more seasoning for taste. My husband had the Bartender Steak Sandwich, and while deconstructed each ingredient was savory, the garlic bread was not the best bread choice to support the juiciness of the steak. It fell apart quite easily, and made eating the sandwich with your hands a bit difficult. Overall, this favorite neighborhood spot is a cozy place to grab a meal and relax.

I know it's not the restaurant's fault but we had this one noisy kid that was way too loud. I know it's a family atmosphere and all, but these young parents do not know how to discipline their kids. I was annoyed while eating my food. I ordered the pork souvlaki and the classic Chicago gyro pita. The pork souvlaki was decent. The French fries were a lot bigger, pita bread was too chewy, and the pork skewer was not as tender. The classic Chicago gyro pita had lamb and beef gyro. This was still pretty good. I do wish the pita bread for those were less chewy.
