    Corn bisque
    Lamar S.

    This place is a hidden gem! I'm so glad that I found this place (well a friend found it but I tried it first! Don't judge. Haha). 3 course meal (appetizer, entree and desert for under $10! Where else can you get that at???? *****THIS PLACE IS RESERVATION ONLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND ONLY OPEN WEDNESDAY TO FRIDAY FROM 1PM TO 3PM)***** This is a restaurant that is attached to a culinary institute. They allow the students to work the front and the back of a real live restaurant to gain the necessary experience to transition to a career in the food industry. The restaurant itself looks amazing! The ambiance was very appealing and the hostess was very polite. My wife and I did not know that you needed reservations but the hostess accommodated us. As she was explaining to us, the reason for taking reservations during the summer is due to the low volume of students they have and the amount of product they order. This is smart but something that I wish they were able to expand because so many people are missing out. The food was amazing. The menu changes every 2-3 weeks. We had the corn bisque, shrimp kale salad, grilled tuna tostada, pad Thai, strawberry bread with vanilla bean ice cream and a pistachio cake with vanilla mousse and a caramel drizzle. These students did an amazing job. Although the meal is $8, they charge tax and a scholarship fee which I think is a great idea especially given the meal is inexpensive. For a soda or lemonade type drink it's about $2 and I believe you get free refills. They also do catering and I can see that venue being used for some amazing things. I will explore that option soon. Overall, great experience and I cannot wait to go back again!

    Very good & healthy Italian wedding soup. Made with Kale instead of pasta.

    I wish this place had more advertisements because the food and the service is superb!! I had the Italian wedding soup (pic posted), pesto crusted cod with spaghetti squash (pic posted), and apple cider donut holes with homemade hot chocolate. All of it was very good. This is a school, so the meals and the service are all done by the students. You get a three-course meal for $13. You can't beat that. I wish I had pics of the braised lamb...oh my word!!!! To top it off, the chef comes out numerous times and works his way around to each table to check on how the patrons are enjoying their food. We were part of a large group and the service was great. Please visit this restaurant. Only downfall is that they are only open Wednesday-Friday from 11a-1p. Would be great if they would open on the weekend.

    Back of the Yards, New City

    Best breakfast on that side of town old school diner and great coffee sit down or order to go…read morecustomer service is great .

    My husband and I pass this restaurant every morning. So last week I say let's try them out. So I…read morewent in and got our order to go. I ordered him Sunny side up eggs with hashbrowns with onions in it and bacon. I ordered my self an onion, mushroom and cheese omelette with grits and Parker House hot links. Both breakfasts also came with toast but the cashier told me that I could make my toast French toast for a small up charge. I met a regular that had been coming there for over 15 years. He said the food was so good. He traveled all the way from 78th and stony Island just to come here for breakfast. The guy also said that he worked for the city and that was one of the spots that all the workers would come to. I asked about the other Joe's restaurant across the street. He said that it was old workers that worked for the original Joe's that opened up their own business. The food took a little bit about 20 minutes they cooked everything from scratch. I also loved that they used real mushrooms for my omelette. So many other diners use canned mushrooms. I'm glad they didn't. I also ordered an apple juice and our total was under $19. That's a steal! We couldn't wait to get home so we opened it up in the car. Nice size portions!!!! Everything was delicious I don't even eat French toast but I did taste it and it was really good! Everything was hot and delicious. I highly recommend them!
