    Catfish dinner
    Carol T.

    We stopped in to eat before shopping in the area. The service was friendly. The restaurant is half a gambling joint which I am not a fan of! The food tasted fresh. I had the chargrilled chicken sandwich with everything on it. It was tasty but a little pricey. My husband had the catfish dinner which he said was tasty and a good portion for the price as it came with a small salad, fries, coleslaw and cheesy garlic bread. We both tried the bread and personally would prefer just the bread but others may find this an added bonus!

    Pictured: Steak sandwich meal. Nearly $15 for pathetically small sandwich, handful of fries, and a soft drink YIKES

    Way too over priced, judging by the $15 meal I ordered which was a steak sandwich. You expect a little more than just ground up pieces of beef stuck together like a thin burger patty and two slices of tomato and some lettuce, like 5 inches big altogether and no sauce, just dry and depressing. I give it a big fat one star. Never again boys

    are used to love this place now it's just bad .... I will not be going back. I just stop by like 20 minutes ago and got some food for my kids and I then I noticed all the mold on the salad .

    Pretty good food. Decent burger/hot dog/gyro place with a good size menu, and a bunch of menu items you wouldn't normally expect. It was a little pricey, but the portions were good and tasty. My friend substituted fries for fried mushrooms that came with a tartar sauce and they were delicious... so much so that I had to help him eat them Gonna work our way thru the menu, but return to the fries mushroom. I think maybe to justify the prices hand-cut fries would be the way to go... although their fries were pretty good!

    Restaurant review Lucky Dog is not Portillo but it reaches a close second. The restaurant is not too busy at lunch. The food comes out quick and fast to order. The only downside is the price is rather high compared to the competitor Poor Boy down the street. The same combo meal with burger, fries, and drink is about 2 dollars less. The food is similar hot of the grill. Pro: friendly staff, drive through Cons: prices are higher than Poor Boy Hidden gem: Daily lunch specials

    Great horchata!

It…read moreis a restaurant that always catches my eye while driving down Roosevelt Road en route to my barber. Its 4.9-star rating out of 20 ratings was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience. Looking through the menu at Chickies, I was interested in the Cheese Ravioli, Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce, Hand-Cut French Fries, and Jumbo Pizza Slice with a drink. I must say that I was surprised to see so many Italian items on the menu at Chickies because I always pictured it as a burger restaurant. I ended up ordering their Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce because it was the one thing my taste buds desired at the time--other than a slice of pizza, which I can honestly eat every day and not get bored of. I love ordering online for the convenience and the ability to schedule a pickup time. Most of the time, my orders are ready--or nearly ready--upon arrival. By the time I reached the restaurant, my order was being finished behind the counter. While waiting for my order, I just could not resist ordering a cherry milkshake--a rare item for me to see on a menu--while browsing through the menu to kill time. I joked with the employee that it is an item that will surely lure me back to Chickies. Because of this smooth experience, the likelihood of me ordering online from this location again is very high. "Mmmm... That is good!" was my first response after taking a sip of the cherry milkshake, which tasted exactly as it sounds. I had quite a few sips before even driving out of the parking lot at Chickies. It was so good that my mouth watered between sips, and I failed to take any pictures of it--which you will have to forgive me for. I was very pleased with the size of the Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce. It was beautifully presented and tasted delicious! Each bite offered a perfect blend of savory eggplant and rich red sauce, so I wasted no time finishing it. If you are staring at the Chickies menu and cannot decide what to get, look no further than the Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce--it will leave you feeling thoroughly satisfied. Being that I had a great ordering experience, I would surely order from The Original Chickies again whether it be Uber Eats delivery or takeout whenever visiting the area. Service: 5 | Ambiance: 5 | Food: 5 | Overall Rating: 5 ~ Think happy thoughts. ~ Thomas G

    Found this place on the way back home from Oak Park after my first stop for an Italian beef (Poor…read moreBoy) had closed early for the night and I'm glad I did. Ariston makes a decent beef sandwich with soft bread, a nice serving of sliced beef, excellent tasting au jus and good giardineira. The medium fries and beef combo that comes with a canned drink was just under $15 which is a bit pricey but still not bad for the quality. Their crinkle cut fries are delicious and we're served crispy and piping hot. I luckily got in a little after 12:15am and was able to beat out the last minute rush as a good 5-6 cars pulled into the lot after I ordered. I don't think there would have been much of a wait even I had been a little later though as my order was ready in less than 5 mins. This made me a little worried but like I mentioned the food ended up being good. The staff were not necessarily friendly but I wouldn't characterize them as rude either. They just seemed to be really dialed in to get through all the orders which I appreciated. The interior is pretty lived in but it's not overly dirty or anything. They have an almost ridiculously extensive menu so I can't say much for the rest of the food but if a good beef and fries late at night is what you're looking for Ariston is a good option.

What really stood out was the owner coming out personally to say hello and ask if it was my first time, which it was.

Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Between the amazing hospitality, speedy service, and great food, I'll definitely be back. If you're thinking about trying it, go. You won't regret

We ended up back at our home and called Bill's Place, explained our situation, and without hesitation they told us they could accommodate a catering order for pickup. They even offered a discount on the catering to help us during such a difficult day. The food was excellent and exactly what we were hoping for, but what truly stood out was the compassion and kindness they showed our family. They didn't just prepare a meal--they helped bring our family together when we needed it most. What made it even more meaningful is that Bill's Place was our grandma's favorite. Even before she became sick, if she wanted a burger, this is where she wanted to go. Being able to gather around food from one of her favorite places, sharing stories and celebrating her life in our home, was a full-circle moment that none of us will ever forget. Bill's Place understood what hospitality truly means. They listened, they cared, and they stepped up when our family needed it most. We will continue to support Bill's Place and are incredibly grateful for everything they did for us. Thank you for turning a heartbreaking day into one filled with kindness and compassion.

It sits amongst a strip of restaurants that I am very familiar with along W Roosevelt Rd. And its 4.1 star rating out of 260+ on Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality ordering experience. Being that Submarine Brothers is known for sub-style sandwiches, I did my research before visiting since I am pescatarian. On the menu, I took interest in items like their fish sandwich, cheese sub, shrimp basket, butter garlic fries, and their regular fries. Out of the few items that caught my eye, I ended up ordering the butter garlic fries along with a cup of nacho cheese; a cup of nacho cheese that made my mouth salivate just thinking of it while paired with those butter garlic fries. Oh honey, yes! I love ordering online because it is convenient! Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. By the time I arrived at Submarine Brothers my order awaited behind the counter during this ordering experience. Picking up was just confirming my name, order, and I was well on my way. I am grateful to have had a smooth online ordering experience because it is a highly preferred method for me ordering anywhere especially while on the go. As for parking, the parking space is shared with two other businesses: LA Smokes, and Arts Food & Liquor. With what both businesses consist of, the space may give off sketchy vibes for some because of the likelihood of encountering individuals who are in and out of the area or just lingering! And there are limited parking spots in this space considering that it is shared, plus it may feel tight knit if you have a larger sized vehicle. As for my order, the butter garlic fries smelled so delightful as I got a whiff of them while getting inside of my vehicle. The smell of them during my 8-mile drive home made me anticipate the taste of them. After opening the lid of the styrofoam container and getting my first glimpse of those butter garlic fries that had my taste buds salivating, I said to myself "whoa!". They were well-seasoned and oh my they tasted so delicious! They were so delicious that it made it hard to savor each moment because I was grabbing fries in small bundles by the second, tehehe. An addictive taste that made me want more as my fingers were left with butter and garlic residue on them. At the bottom of the styrofoam container were the buttery fries that I totally anticipated eating once I saw how drenched they were with butter. After I finished, I was left with a smirk on my face knowing that I will have them again at some point because the butter garlic fries were good, very good! After this ordering experience, I would not hesitate to order from again outside of some of my favorite restaurants in the immediate area. And with that said, I share my endorsement of Submarine Brothers with you all on yelp! Enjoy! Ambiance: 4 | Service: 5 | Food: 5 | Overall rating: 5 ~ Oh darling, let's be adventurers ~ Thomas G
