A nice hot bowl of chicken noodle soup; butter noodles, savory and flavorful chicken broth with slivers of meat. Nice complimentary bowl of bread accompanied the soups. Individually wrapped and fresh+ More value. The tuna melt was perfect! Lightly butter and nicely toasted seeded rye bread. The fries I ordered well done; they were hot , fresh and crispy. I added a touch of salt. A nice thin sliced and tomato was on the side with pickles and lettuce. What a power packed lunch , and I only could finish half, so that's really a lunch for 2 $15! At a sit down restaurant, that's in a clean environment, in a great neighborhood. What value. Reminds me of the Pittsfield Cafe located in the lobby of the Pittsfield Building on Washington & Wabash Avenue downtown Chicago. Such a bustling a wonderful place at its peak time. Located across from MacNeal Hospital, Loyola Medical Cancer Center. Serving a great value to many visitors. Doing a great job here. Across from the Burlington Line, Metra Station. Easy stop. Oak Park Avenue , Berwyn. Many hair salons, nice bar next door: a small antiques shop west of here. Fantastic grocery store up the block just South of tracks. Nice YMCA facility just North with several Baptist Churches I noticed. Many beautiful parks, north and south down oak park avenue, just West

People work all different hours, so why not? They have sandwich options and others as well. Fresh peeled and cut potatoes for fries. I generally do not like grilled onion on my sandwiches BUT when I took a bite out of this Cheeseburger, I felt a "Flash from the Past" hit my esophagus and belly! Is this an Original Quarter Pounder ??? The one and only? Dang, sure does taste like it. Nice. I tried to eat that slowly and enjoy every bite. Very fresh and nice quality meal, good value. I made sure to thank them on the way out. No fancy stuff here, just good food & nice enough people. Tip some if you can. Appreciated. Street parking is free, read signs as Town of Cicero has strict parking regulations. Just 1/2 block South of CTA Train. Bus stops right outside as well. Nice BP across street open 24/7. Beautiful Public Library across street as well. Bible Church also. Busy area, Closes at midnight.

Everything is delicious affordable, and the quality and quantity are immense. You really feel like you're going into your family's home with greetings by the wonderfully attentive and caring manager Ryan, hostesses and wait staff like Lupe and Phil the best coffee refiller & more. Plentiful tables amidst a welcoming, comfortable decor. Bathrooms are clean, fresh & well maintained-always a good sign. I truly give honest reviews, so allow me to share that this time only, the pork chops were a little overly done, but still delicious and juicy on the inside. But did that stop me from ordering to go the pork chops special? Heck no!

My nephew recommended we come to Tony's, and I could not thank him enough as we sat there eating great food served by such a friendly staff. Every person we spoke to was Chicago friendly, which is perfect in my books. Orders came to the table quickly, correct, piping hot and delicious! My niece got the Mickey Mouse pancakes and sausage, a family classic, which were fluffy and delicious. HUGE pancakes and crispy sausage links! My sister got the breaded pork tenderloin and loved every bit! The broccoli soup was plain and needed a little excitement, but the pork itself was crispy and well cooked! HUGE portion! WOW! My nephew for the lumberjack platter which was a TON of food. A TON. WILD. Just HUGE serving! The French toast was special; it almost tastes like a cinnamon roll cake. Nice and crispy rounds and soft in the middle. A nice ham steak, bacon, sausage, eggs, and joy. He didn't finish the entire plate but enjoyed every single bite! I got the vegetarian skillet with bacon - I know, I know. It was a long night before this meal, and I needed salt and bacon but wanted all the veggies. What a TREAT! The hash browns were crispy and delicious, not greasy at all which I loved and appreciated, and TONS of veggies. I couldn't finish the entire skillet, but also I happily finished it about 2H later. I just love how I didn't feel heavy after the meal - too full or bogged down by grease. Every single bite was delicious, and I legit cannot wait to go back. The restaurant was busy but had plenty of seating. There were some ants under the table, but they quickly took care of them, and TBH, if I was an ant I'd be in that restaurant too finding food joy. No judgement. Restaurant was clean and service was great! I will happily come back any time, any day, to Tony's. Great people, great food, huge portions, and a great experience. Stop on by!

Anyway, when you sit at the counter, your food is delivered by a little train that runs from the kitchen and stops at your seat. It's clever, it's whimsical, it's amusing. It made me smile as much as or maybe even more than my toddler. (She may have been more excited about the pancakes.) If it's your birthday, they'll send you a birthday cupcake by train and the whole joint will sing you a happy birthday. The food was better than I expected, with a good selection of items. I was considering the 2x4 until I saw the turkey club, which is something I'd actually been craving for weeks and unable to find so I went with that. It hit the spot, and one of the servers brought me some chipotle mayo and said everyone likes it so she brings it to everyone. And she was right, so there's a tip for you to ask for a side of it for your fries or whatever. Once we were finished we went to play! The place has a bunch of ways to entertain your kids. There's a photo booth, some kiddie ride machines, machines with toys and trinkets, claw machines, and more. They all take cash, but if you don't have cash they have at least one and maybe two change machines for you to get quarters. There's a train display at the front of the restaurant for kids to look at too. It's a great place and I'm looking forward to returning. There's no dedicated parking, but there's street parking and a small city lot down the block.

Despite multiple inconsistencies regarding menu pricing in the past as well as discrepancies in pricing among the shift workers, I've been reimbursed for in the past, I gave them the benefit of the doubt that 5 years later now, that they'd rectified those issues, apparently not so much. Today was the last time. 11/1/2026 I ordered a sausage, egg sandwich & an OJ. there was no menu price listed, but the sandwich with bacon is listed at $10. My total was $23+ {plus tip} the sandwich was ok, but the orange juice was approximately 70% watered down canned frozen from concentrate surely & absolutely disgusting. Because of the cost I thought it was fresh squeezed. It wasn't. Looking at the online menu I now see the price is $4 silly me. That being the case I should be able to verify the cost, but since there's no itemization on the receipt, I have no idea why it was $23+. Further proof of their dishonesty! Not worth the BS.

We also ordered bacon, pancakes, eggs, and ham. The food came out in under 2mins. Clearly an indication that it wasnt fresh. Smh... the bacon was old and dried out. The biscuits/gravy were old and the biscuits were hard. The gravy seemed like they poured it out of a jar and brought it to my table. Flavorless and not worth the $8 it cost me. The links, ham, pancakes, eggs were why they got 2 stars. I will probably never return.

I look at the clock. It's 2:15 a.m…read more This is a dangerous time to be hungry. You're no longer choosing where to eat. You're finding out what society is willing to feed you. I'm still learning Chicago and its suburbs, so I spend about 15 minutes on Maps and kept consulting ChatGPT on where to eat. To my surprise nothing worthy was suggested. I reluctantly drive to my usual spot, which I won't name because they've done nothing wrong and don't deserve to be involved in this story. I walk in. Look at the menu. Get ready to order. Then something inside me says, "No." I walk back out. Now I'm sitting in my car at 2:30 in the morning like a divorced man outside a casino, staring at Google Maps one last time. Then I see it. Johnnie's Grill. 17 minutes away. I've never been there. Immediately, I start thinking about every Johnnie I've ever met. Do Johnnies know how to cook? Is Johnnie still alive? Is there even a Johnnie? Maybe Johnnie sold the place in 1987 and some guy named Steve has been benefiting from his reputation ever since. Most importantly: can Johnnie be trusted with my hunger? While entertaining these bullshit scenarios, I somehow arrive. As I'm getting out of the car, four young guys are walking out. Perfect. I need intelligence from the field. I ask, "What's good to get here, guys?" One of them looks at me and says: "Everything, bruh. Anything you get is gonna be fire." That's all I needed to hear. I walk inside and meet Julie, who is genuinely one of the warmest people you could hope to encounter at this ungodly hour. She patiently walks me through the menu while I study it like I'm choosing a mortgage. Eventually, I order the Big Boy. And goddamn it, the boys were right. The Big Boy was delicious. Nothing fancy. Nothing pretentious. Nobody back there is reducing a balsamic glaze or explaining where the cow went to college. It's just a damn good burger. Oddly enough, it reminded me of the burgers my parents make at home, which might sound like an insult to a restaurant, but I mean it as one of the highest compliments I can give. It tasted familiar. Like somebody actually made you food instead of assembling a product. At 2:15 in the morning, I thought Chicago had abandoned me. Johnnie had not. I don't know who Johnnie is. I don't know if Johnnie is alive. I don't even know if Johnnie has ever stepped foot inside Johnnie's Grill. But Johnnie, wherever you are: I'll be back.
