10. Langel's Pizza and Rodney's Sports Bar

Super friendly staff and attentive service help make for a good meal experience. Our sausage and mushroom pizza was delicious. We really liked the bulk Italian sausage instead of the usual ground variety. Our only complaint is the seats in our booth were shaky. Every time the people in the booth next to our's moved, we got shaken up. Try the 3 Floyd's beer... very good.
9. Bob's Shrimp

I love the shrimp from Bob's. I don't like a lot of batter so if you not want that ask for it to be fried light. That means it won't have too much batter and not be overfried. I like my shrimp a little firm not soft and soggy. And they were perfect. Besides, unless you eat them right away they will steam in the packaging. If you are unsure just ask and they will cook it the way you like. Everytime I go to G.I. this is my new go to. Keep in mind they are closed on Mondays.

The absolute go-to for quick, convenient, excellent food. The standards for sure: Italian beef, dogs, burgers. Unexpectedly great ribs, and the star...the gyros platter. Such great pitas and tsasziki (sp). The staff has been there forever and can practically read your mind. Closed on Sundays.

This restaurant is great, love most all the food, but the sausage gravy is the worst. It is not home made, it is a package deal and taste a bit like chicken gravy with bits of sausage in it. Not good at all!

We came for a cocktail after a recommendation from our hotel. The martini and the mule were excellent. They donât âwater downâ their drinks. They were refreshing on a warm day. The complimentary chips and pickles were quite tasty. We also had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. We asked for a side of horseradish which added âzingâ to the appetizer. Very nice place!

This was a meal where we had already chosen on our bus tour what entree we would like. The service was prompt and we enjoyed our selections. My husband had pork tenderloin and I had shrimp. All was very tasty. The dessert was sherbert.

Disappointed again.The restaurant is terribly bright and the conversation very loud! Cocktail made incorrectly. Remade and served in a dirty glass, you have to be kidding me. Calamari bad and served lukewarm. Clam Chowder terrible. Caesar salad, almost average. Filet barely average. Lobster was okay, but only six bites per tail. A real waste of money. Will NOT BE BACK!
3. Schoops Hamburgers

Reviewed By Tula K
Schoops offers one of the most expensive burgers in this area and they simply do not rate as they did when I was a kid. You can get a fresher, better quality burger at any number of places and not have to remortgage your house to pay for the sides. As for the ambiance.....there isn't any. Someone should tear down all of these buildings along this strip on Ridge Road because they look like cr--p inside and out. The parking lots ehnd the need and overall also.

Sun July 28, 2019 Mile Marker 0 I-90 just after (or before) the Chicago Skyway, Village Square Buffet, Horseshoe Hammond, IN.Kristen on cash, no host/hostess it's seat yourselfers, Georgina is our friendly an excellent server. Excellent quality and selection only $38.50 for two (gratuity not included) John (excellent memory, remembering my name) had two cuts of prime standing rib roast, beef brisket and Turkey for carving, I had the prime rib well, cranberry sauce, green olives, red whole baby beets and cheddar cheese cubes for color and taste. Tortellini with sauteed tomato in herbed chicken was amazing and worth the drive from anywhere,the Strawberry Shortcake was an amazing dessert. Thanks to all who make this a great #buffasino
1. Byway Brewing Company

We were staying at the nearby Comfort Inn immediately off I-90 for a less expensive Chicago experience (much cheaper hotel, no parking fee, free breakfast). I searched for local nearby dining opportunities and luckily landed on Byway Brewing Company only one interstate exit away. They had a nice array of beers and the usual options of samples, small and pint-sized pours, which were great, but where they really exceeded our expectations was on the food. Don't let them kid you that the portions are individually sized. Only if you're a construction worker who just came off a 12 hour shift! we saw a party of 3 splitting their noodle bowl along with several sides. My husband and I could have easily split either the delicious house burger with bacon-onion "jam" or his braised garlic short ribs with charred tomatoes and seared onions gyro on a pita. Wow! Definitely several notches above the usual pub grub. We split a cup of sweet potato soup embellished with sesame and paprika oils that began divine then turned truly heavenly when we hit the sour cream lurking in the bottom of the cup. My husband's "gyro" came with french fries with garlic, salt and pepper. I opted for their house chips, which were equally good. After sampling several of their beers both of us chose things we don't normally: I went for a Sunny Vale IPA that worked beautifully with the burger while hubby chose an unusual orange wheat beer. They also had a cherry wheat that was tasty, but a little too sweet for me. Reminded me a bit of the classic German beer cocktail "Berliner Weisse." All in all, an unexpectedly lovely evening. Our server Emily was attentive and as it got busier the staff seemed to look out for each other which I always apppreciate. The decor is typical brewing company industrial and the location, right off the freeway (but facing away from it) isn't redolent with ambiance unless you're into gasoline, but absolutely worth the very easy jog off the interstate to find. They have tables for bigger groups and outdoor seating also.
