Smells amazing the whole time. Staff was great. Sean helped us out and gave some solid recommendations. We went with the pepperonly pizza. When it hit the table, the presentation looked amazing. First bite... that was it. The crust had that perfect crunch on the outside but still soft inside. You could taste that wood-fired char, just enough to give it that smoky edge. The cheese was melted just right, stretchy and hot. The sauce had a nice balance, a little tangy, a little sweet, not overpowering anything. The pepperoni was the best part. Crispy on the edges, a little oily in a good way, and full of flavor. Every bite just worked. Thin, balanced, nothing too heavy. If you like pizza, this is one of those spots you gotta try. I'd go back for that one easy.

Bottom Line: Thankfully, un-corporate, unpretentious , great bang for the buck. Definitely worth a…read morestop. Unplanned stop here but what a welcome surprise on a winter evening at this neighborhood pub that hits the sweet spot somewhere between "watering hole" and restaurant . Lively and cozy, "Livozy" (oh yes I did just coin that) is the best descriptor for this cool little pub right across from a commuter rail stop. Very decent selection on tap. The crowd is mostly local and very friendly. The tenders crushed it in terms of friendliness and efficient professionalism. Zubar has figured out that if you deliver a satisfying experience at very reasonable prices--good value, you will ensure return customers--again and again. (As an aside though, it is a bit of a shame Zubar has not "claimed" this Yelp page projecting the "we're too cool (they are) who cares" vibe but there's a lot of good vibe coming there way...I'll bet they peek anyway.)

Check out this kind of unique zoo themed bar. It's next to a zoo: the Brookfield Zoo to be exact…read more Zubar is a convenient stop for those coming from and going to the zoo. Even those not going to the zoo can enjoy it. This is right off the Metra zoo stop, and I'm wondering how many times I can mention the zoo in this review, maybe 20 times or so. A convenient stop along the Metra gets you here. It's almost seriously there as soon as you get off. This is obviously located on the way to the Brookfield Zoo. It makes a pretty good stop when coming back from walking around. This is pretty much just a little bar with drinks and slots. It's about $5 for a simple cocktail. There's basic liquor. Good place to hang after walking around the zoo and needing to get a drink. It doesn't seem to have food anymore but you can bring some in. There's also entertainment like a jukebox and pool table.

I went on a weekday for lunch. The server said we can seat ourselves. For the chicken tenders, I…read moreasked to get them with buffalo sauce. They don't toss, but give you the sauce on the side, which I was fine with. I asked for blue cheese crumbles, and they put a nice amount. The side salad is huge, and really good for just being a side salad. My only recommendation is that they overload it into a small bowl, so it's hard to eat without it falling out . I recommend a larger bowl. The server was friendly. I gave it 3 stars because it's absolutely filthy! I came right when they opened on a weekday, and the floors weren't cleaned from the night before. Literally food in the corners. Also, the table next to me filled with crumbs. When a group sat there, they wiped all the crumbs with their hand-eek! The table is so grimy that it's literally sticky! If you look at the trim, gate, condiments container,lights, and furniture- you can see loads of dust and grime. This place needs a GOOD clean down!

TL;DR -- Wanted to like it. But missed the mark for me…read more It's on the outskirts of downtown Lagrange. It's next to the Lagrange Rd train station. There's ample parking. First time visitors. We came here on a whim for a quick meal. We were greeted immediately. We arrived at 6:20 p.m. to a virtually empty spot. We were immediately seated. Our server arrived at 6:29, but did apologize for the wait - the patio was busy. To which we said, "THERE'S A PATIO?!" My biggest gripe is that they were slowww. We didn't get our food until 6:55. My wife ordered her steak medium, but it came out a clear medium-well. One of my sons ordered his steak well. It came out toughhhhhh. He could only finish about half of it before saying "my jaws hurt from chewing," and tapped out. He finished my wife's steak. MY burger was great! I added bacon that was fried perfectly. I was pretty impressed with the size of my burger. It was very thick. We had to salt all of our food. Lol! And the fries were decent - nothing to write home about. Note: They charge a credit card fee. Note II: They charge a "market sustainability fee" (WHAT?!)

They took a mínimum of 10 minutes to bring a round. When we asked for another round, the waitress said the bartender said we look okay and he will give us another.

Jim-may, my man! Nice place ya got here buddy…read more I was seeking a bar that was roughly halfway between Oak Park & Orland Park (meeting someone, heh heh), and I happened to stumble upon this über-divey treasure. Miller Lite was the only beer they had on tap, but you could get a bucket of it for like a nickel. Hyperbole? Maybe. A 60oz pitcher of the classic domestic swill cost only $5, which is pretty damn tough to beat if you ask me. Liz behind the bar was super friendly and introduced herself not long after I sat down. Once my +1 arrived, Liz was nice enough to make a bag of popcorn that she gave us to munch on. Talk about being given a warm reception! They don't accept Discover and have a $10 minimum on credit card purchases, but for a small operation like this it's to be expected, so I can't fault them for that. Some of the barstools are a teensy bit ripped-up, although in a dive bar setting like this, I find that they truly 'complete the look'. Great homey feel and a jukebox loaded with tons of tunes for 50¢ or a dollar per song. They've got billiards tables and a few slot machines that I imagine get a lot of play from their 'regulars'. They also feature Karaoke on select nights of the week. There's a very tasteful piece of nude art behind the bar, which I'm told is a painted portrait of someone who works there. Being a big fan of all things naked people, I found this to be a nice touch amidst the cans of Old Style and half-empty Smirnoff bottles. ....and unless I'm mistaken, I definitely met/talked to/received free shots from *the* Jimmy of said namesake bar. His taste in Huey Lewis & The News (along with his great taste in hats) didn't go unnoticed. He was hilarious and insisted that I stick around for a while [keep in mind this was at 11pm on a Wednesday], but I had to decline. Lyons is generally off my radar, but for the way I was greeted and taken care of at this establishment, I'd not hesitate for a second to stop back in, if I were to be in the area again.
