This is GREAT Q! Very high quality BBQ in Berwyn. Portions are sizable, the brisket needs no sauce - it's that good. Pulled pork every bit as good, but try it with the "Swine wine!" Smoked chicken is perfectly done - just enough smoke to make it terrific. Go soon!!!

Itâs a nice place, nice atmosphere! Burgers are ok, nothing to write home about, since there is always a long line at the drive thru I thought I was going to taste something unbelievable! Donât get me wrong, burgers are good but not to die for! Staff is nice in spite of the huge number of customers in front of them!

So these guys do one thing. Chicken fingers. When I was in Louisiana, this was one of my favorite places to stop for food when visiting. Imagine my surprise when I found out, yesterday, that one was in Chicagoland.Within 4 hours of finding out I made the one hour trip to get me some chicken. O. M. G. It's still as good as down south, although I think the cane sauce had a bit more pepper in it up here. So ridiculously good.The fingers are not greasy, neither are the fries. The meat is soft, juicy, tender, and perfectly breaded with golden brown flakes of deliciousness. Every single employee was energetic and had smiles on their face. It was awesome to see everyone working together very well.The interior was incredibly clean. Major kudos on this! Will definitely be coming back, and gave a 5* review. I really don't know what's up with the other people who reviewed giving such great marks and then low stars. Probably employees of Chik Filet ;) I kid, I kid.

My family lives within walking distance of Laverne's. There are many other places to choose, but we choose here most of the time. The staff are warm and inviting. The food is traditional american with a little twist on the prep/presentation. Our favorite is on Tuesday...for the taco special.

The pre-meal Greek bread was marvelous, a good start. Crusty outside, soft inside. My wife ordered a fish sandwich (choosing fruit instead of fries) and a glass of tomato juice instead of soup. I ordered the Western Burger (requesting Swiss cheese instead of the normal Cheddar), clam chowder, and a root beer to wash it down. Both items were off the special of the day menu. In retrospect, I was not asked how I wanted the burger cooked. Hold that thought. The soup ended up being red clam, not white clam chowder. My bad - evidently I wasnât paying attention. Neither was the cook, who let the clams escape, leaving only shards of their bodies as they scrambled from the pot. The only plausible explanation, because my bowl didnât have a single chunk of clam, just tiny shards as if theyâd been shredded. Lots of vegetables and chunks of potatoes, if you like veggie and potato soup in red broth. My wifeâs plate showed up with a small cup of fruit but also the fries she didn't ask for. Their mistake, and there was no additional charge. My sandwich showed up with a torn top bun, literally two pieces. I used the split as a guide to cut my sandwich in half. The bacon was burnt, dark and hard, barely edible. The burger meat was medium well (I saw it on the receipt later), juiceless and joyless. A couple of bites in, I noticed yellow cheese around the edge. Yep, they forgot my Swiss cheese substitution. Now we're at two mistakes, not counting the soup, broken buntop, and not asking for meat temperature. The fries were well-done, as in cooked a little too long, and had no taste. And the barbecue sauce was very sweet. The food choices were mine but the lack of execution was theirs. I polished off the root beer because the food was so dry. I was not offered my one free refill. I had a chat with the proprietor when I paid the bill. He sensed I wasnât pleased and asked why. I shared the wrong cheese issue with him, and he said I should have asked them to remake it. âIt would only take a second.â I took that to mean that theyâd take the sandwich in back, scrape off the cheddar and put on a slice of Swiss instead. Gross! I decided not to share the burnt bacon and overcooked meat issues. At that point, I didnât think heâd accept my comments as constructive criticism. My wife had refused my first choice for lunch and selected this place instead. Next time I won't fold quite so easy. The only thing that made me smile through the entire visit was the music they played in the bathroom. A menu loaded with a huge variety of choices, but quantity doesn't imply quality.

A reunion with friends during a visit to the Chicago area.

Each year we have celebrated my Fathers Birthday. Even after he left us, we still celebrate as a family. My brother and sister and all of our families meet for dinner somewhere in the Chicago area. This year we chose The Chew Chew in Riverside Il. The Chew Chew came out as one of our favorite places to celebrate. Their service was exceptional and the food was great. The have great hamburgers but also have fish dishes. They even have a childrenâs menu. We all ordered the calamari and the edamame appetizer and were very pleased. Next came the main courses which were all superbly prepared. All our food came out correct and was piping hot. Our waitress took care of all ten adults and four kids under 10 without a hiccup. The Chew Chew also has a full bar which we took advantage. Desserts followed dinner with most of us ordering some gelato. Several bottles of wine were consumed and we left the restaurant very full and satisfied I highly recommend this relaxed atmosphere restaurant in the center of downtown Riverside Il
