First time visiting a Teds. I saw the reviews and maybe my expectation were a little high. A party of 3 we ordered salads with our meals and I order a Bison NY Strip steak. We asked for the salads first, but the meal came out first, so we canceled the salads. My steak was cooked they way I like it but was tough and it wasn't seasoned that I could tell. One of the other members of the party ordered the same steak and he said it was really good. Overall just OKKen, we're sorry to hear we didn't leave the best impression after your recent visit. We value your feedback and hope to deliver a five-star dining experience next time you choose Ted's!

On a bus trip ,this restaurant was included in our packet.The food that was served to the group was alittle different than the rest of the restaurant.The White Fish was served dry and overcooked. Some of the guest did get their meal replaced but I was told it seemed as if they had defrosted which made the fish very wateree in taste..I had the roast beef and it taste as if it came out of a can.I was not impressed by the food or service.

We went to Carriage Greens for dinner with another couple and had a good meal as usual. My wife had the broasted chicken and I had the Parma pork chops-they were both very good. They also serve a good salad and the soup is usually good too. We often go there on Friday or Sunday evening and they have a pretty good crowd. This was a Monday evening, and there weren't many people there so the service was very good.
7. TGI Fridays

In Manhattan in 1965, there was no place where people could go out to meet friends and make new ones in an environment that was at once both relaxed and yet exciting. Then, Alan Stillman opened Fridays as a way, he said, "to meet Pan Am stewardesses." Sud

Pleasantly surprised when the quoted 30-minute wait on a Friday night turned into only ten minutes. Greeters were friendly. Server was efficient and helpful. No problem with multiple checks. The parmesan crusted chicken with mac and cheese was yummy. The side of tomato & mozzarella is really good.Their Stripes program is worth having. One thing I wish they'd do is give you more chips with the salsa. Ten chips for two people was a bit skimpy. Overall good value and taste. Like that they open doors when you leave, and thank you for stopping by.

We liked our pizza well enough, the think crust was quite crispy, the way I like it and sauce, cheese and toppings OK--not too greasy in my book. Service was a bit on the slow-side however, not bad, but enough to be noticeable. We'd go again, but also look at other choices as well. P.S. Why was a sports bar playing CNN on a college football night???

Fried perch was on the menu when we went for lunch and it was excellent! Perfectly prepared! Chicken Caesar salad was very good.

Of all their business ventures, starting as the bagel boys, this is my favorite. It is quieter than the sports bars, and has more menu options. We enjoyed a nice family dinner, for a moderate price, in a relaxing yet interesting atmosphere. (Check out the ceilings and artwork) Service and facilities exceeded expectations. And the food? Well, we just put it on the "local favorites" list.

Dear Managment please take our experience into consideration and make some changes. Our visit today was really not how it was before. You will remember places on how they made you feel and AFTER VISITING YOUR RESTAURANT TODAY WE FELT UNWANTED, ASHAMED AND UNCOMFORTABLE.We came to celebrate birthday party. Food was okey but not as it was before. However, we could have closed our eyes on food, if the stuff would not be absolutely disrespectfull and made us feel unwanted. The story is - they had a life music and only a few people siting on the side tables in the main hall. Our company of 15 people of married couples and couples with childern came out to dance. But there was not much space and we moved empty table maybe one meter aside and were keep dancing. In a minute security man came and without saying anything STARTED PUSHING TABLE BACK ON US! We asked our waiter but he backed up security man and said that tables are not allowed to be moved (the HALL IS EMPTY, just a few people on the side tables and at the bar!). SINGER STOPED SINGING and we were standing there shocked!!! We asked for manager, nobody came out...PLEASE UNDERSTAND, WE DID NOT MAKE ANYBODY UNCOMFORTABLE, even a few other people stand up and start dancing with us. We just wanted to celebrate Birthday, dance and had a good food. Unfortunately, we GOT NOTHING out of this list. If you want to came to this place, please be advised that stuff's attitude can ruin your evening if they will not change.We are terribly sorry for your last night's experience with us. We wish you a happy birthday and many years to come! Regarding your dancing experience:- unfortunately, at this point in time, we are not allowed by the laws of Downers Grove to change the layout of our dining room and we can not accommodate the room for dancing, regardless of where is it a busy night or an empty house. We do have a request pending in the CIty which needs to be approved by the mayor that will allow us to accommodate the place for dancing in the near future. - however, we are going to take action regarding our staff unresponsiveness!- we are going to take action regarding better communication between our security and our customers! Once again we apologize for our service last night and we hope to see you again when we will have availability to accommodate a dancing guest in a large dance floor.

Went here because we heard the pizza was great but we were not really impressed. They definitely have the bar atmosphere and an extensive menu for dining. Everything is way overpriced for the location/quality/quantity. $20 range for a cheese pizza. Pizza is alright but nothing proprietary. Ours was under-baked. Also had minestrone soup - 0 flavor. Eggplant sub had more fried batter than actual eggplant on it, couldn't find the eggplant. Mostaccioli was also rough. Unfortunately the service was not great either. We called ahead to order our pizza because we heard it takes a while, and then took about 25 minutes for the two entrees we ordered at the restaurant, when only one other table was there. Really, truly, so many better options out there than here. Maybe order their pizza for carry-out, but still way over-priced.We appreciate the review and truly apologize for your experience. If you check our Facebook page or website we have many great coupons and offers that can lower the bill! We hope you give it a look and see us again soon!

Chuck's Southern Comforts Cafe is located in the same building as the Chateau Orleans banquet hall. We attended a memorial luncheon for a co-worker and found that the luncheon menu was directly from Chuck's Southern Comfort Cafe. For Chuck's Southern Comforts Cafe there is an outdoor patio that is shaded that fronts on Cass Ave. As you walk in to the main entrance, if you go to the left you are in the banquet hall, but if you go to the right, you are in Chuck's Southern Comforts Cafe. We started with soup and salad. We had browned chicken, pulled pork and mashed potatoes. The chicken was tender, as was the pulled pork. Really good for a catered luncheon. The staff was pleasant and efficient. Though we have been to the other Chuck's Southern Comforts Cafe in Burban, this Darien location is a bit closer, so I'm sure that we'll be back.
