Haven't seen many Puerto Rican restaurants on the south side, and this one is the only one in the…read moreMcKinley Park area. If you're looking for Puerto Rican food and in the area, it's a decent spot which is why it gets 4 stars. The Jibaritos were tasty and so was the arroz con gandules! I think the restaurant is a unique concept: it's a combination of a small Christian book store and a home-like cafe combined with a Puerto Rican restaurant. The menu is small. The servers are kind and bring the food quickly.

Always great food and kind, welcoming people / service! I wish I had a job so I could go more often.read more

Seating challenged but we scored a spot…read more Plenty of options but we chose the famous steak sandwich with cheese and peppers, pasta fagioli soup, fries and beer. The sandwich not overly breaded and just enough sauce and cheese. The hot peppers were good on it but I should have got the sweet peppers too. My friend said her fries were fresh but just a little undercooked. The soup was different from the standard pasta fagioli that I have had which seemed to be a cream based maybe cheese in it and beans no beef. But it was still good. I added a pinch of salt The pizza looked delicious as did the ice cream. I would have loved to try a beef as I haven't been here since I was a kid. Half of a large sandwich and I was stuffed. Great vibe and definitely a sox fans haven. The servers were kind and again even with a line out the door the they moved quickly.

I grew up living near a Ricobene's on either Pulaski or Harlem. I never found it as fantastic as…read morethe many who bragged about it as if it were the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I would occasionally pop in for either a breaded steak or Chicken Vesuvio sandwich. When they closed, I never really realized I missed them. Flash forward 38 years later. Went to Rush Hospital to visit an uncle. Leaving at about lunch time, I opened my Yelp app to see what was nearby. The top spouses ad (2.7 miles away) was Ricobene's. I really wasn't aware they were even around anymore. So, for nostalgic purposes, I decided to go there. Had my mother and aunt in tow, and we were all very pleased. The breaded steak, while still maybe not the greatest thing since sliced bread, was a nice blast from the past that I really enjoyed. Would I go there again? Surely. If I were 2.7 miles away (though uncle's been released and is back home doing fine). Do wanna try their Chicken Vesuvio again one day. But 22 miles each way just for that, not. Quick friendly service, and way cleaner than most hot dog joints and beef stands out my way. Few things make me miss Chicago, but this is one of them.

I live in the 'hood yet never had Tony's. Well, that's no longer true. Ordered through Door Dash…read more The fries were excellent - still crispy with just the right amount of salt. With ketchup, they were wonderful. I ordered the Italian beef/sausage combo, heavily dipped with red sauce on the side. Unfortunately, I didn't get the green peppers as advertised. Everything was superb, and I was able to make three meals from the one sandwich. I really enjoyed the meal and intend to be a regular customer. Does anyone know if they make their own marinara sauce or is it a brand? I would definitely like to have the red sauce for other things in the future.

They have a slogan something about "when's the last time you had a really great sandwich". Well I…read moreassure you if you come here you won't be having one . Not even a kinda ok one. They slap a poorly seasoned chicken breast on the grill and cook it until it's dry. Then they slap it on a piece of bread with some shredded ice burg lettuce and a slice of cheese and call it a famous sandwich. There's nothing famous about, and there's no effort put into it, do yourself a favor and eat at home or somewhere else, this place is not it. If 'Mid' was a sandwich this would be it.

Decided on the TikTok sandwich which is turkey and corned beef with all the condiments and fries with Hennessey sauce. The sandwich was ok and with all the stuff that comes on the sandwich you can barely taste the meat. The fries was just fries Customer service was excellent. The restaurant in general is small and first time customers get to sign the wall. Overall I wouldn't get the sandwich again but will go back to try other menu items.

The Polish was succulent and had the "right" taste and I had it covered in grilled onions, sport peppers and mustard - Maxwell style. IKYYK. A beautiful combination.

This place became a quiet refuge for me -- a small corner of comfort where everything feels lighter. It's the kind of place that slowly begins to feel like a second home, not only because of the atmosphere, but because the people here welcome you with a warmth that feels genuine, almost like family. And the food makes the experience even more memorable. The chicken breast burger and the french fries are easily some of my favorites -- simple, comforting, and incredibly delicious. A place like this is rare, and that's what makes it special.

It was lacking flavor overall and think they should have tossed the arugula in some lemon juice and olive oil to enhance the sandwich. When I asked for some garlic mayo on the side, they said they would bring it out, but never did. Two of the people I was with asked for a side of their mustard and they charged one of them for it but not the other which was weird. I did like the bread it came on and how it was pressed like a panini. I also loved all the chip and drink options. The inside is cute and small with a few large picnic style tables. They also have a few outdoor seats for when it's nice out!

Reviews across social media are all over the place. Hubby chose the gyro platter with fries. *so much food*. He normally eats all his food, but he just couldn't. He just stopped and said "so much food" . Portion won! I chose the italian beef (not juicy/dipped) & had it on side instead. Cheese fries are ok, but not wow. The italian beef however, that is a different story. The flavor was throughout the beef & I liked how it did not have to rely on the juice to get the flavor. Speaking of the juice that had a perfect amount of spice. I have to say this is one of my top Italian beefs that I've ever had.
