We have eaten her on many occasions, mostly take out, but this place is AWESOME. Parking lot does get super busy, but food is definitely worth it. Best pork chops and portabella mushroom sandwich, they offer great sides, speedy, homemade service with large portions. You won't leave hungry & atmosphere is very fitting.

6. Jack Gibbons Gardens

Reviewed By IlliniHope - Chicago, IL
There's a good reason that Gibbons has been around for so many years: it continues to deliver delicious food and attentive service. You know that you're going "old school" when the bus boy delivers three bean salad, cottage cheese, marinated tomatoes, and cole slaw along with a bread basket just minutes after your are seated. It's easy to fill up on those, but return visitors know to pace themselves for the meal to come. Entrees come with soup or salad as well as a choice of potato. Many diners come for the splurge meal of steak and/or lobster or crab legs, but there are many other choices worth trying including pork chops, duck, shrimp, and fried chicken. Portions are generous (most folks leave carrying leftovers). Servers are attentive. If you're looking for a rushed dinner or a chain restaurant experience, Gibbon's isn't the place for you, but if you want to experience a dinner that your parents and grandparents would have enjoyed, check it out.

8. Eggheadz Cafe

Reviewed By gms58 - Crestwood, Illinois
We had a Sunday morning breakfast here. The menu is pretty extensive with something for everyone. My wife is a vegetarian and had no trouble finding several choices to fit her needs. We both had egg dishes and pumpkin pancakes, which were outstanding. The service was very good and the food came out to our table very quickly. Prices were on point. The place was absolutely packed, so they must do something right here. It was our first visit but won't be our last. The only thing bad that I can say is that we were seated at a booth next to a window. It was a little cold and drafty being a cold February day but that won't stop us from coming back. We'll just avoid the window seats next time.

Home to America's favorite Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef, burgers, salads, and chocolate cake.
Reviewed By elizabeth h - tinley park
Their beef sandwiches are famous in this area,along with the best chocolate cake I have ever eaten .I do not like cake,but this one certainly changed my opinion.
I love their chopped salad,which for me is two meals .I ask for dressing on the side so it is still good for the next day. I have to omit I am not crazy about their hot dogs which I like every once in awhile,but again not there.. Also not fond of their French fries. But there is always a long line in their drive up take out. So they have to be doing something right!!

Reviewed By Lynn W - Orland Park
I used to be a wine club member and visited Cooper’s Hawk three time a month. As the chain of restaurants grew their wine seemed to decline in quality. I had to stop drinking the wine due to some adverse effects. (No problem with other wine brands). Last week I went for dinner for my standard salmon and salad. The prices had increased and th quality of the food wasn’t as good. My veggies were burnt and my husband’s salad was full of brown lettuce. It’s too bad, it was one of our favorites for years. Maybe give it a try for the ambiance or a new wine drinker.
