After receiving a recommendation for The Ridge Bar and Grill in Chicago Ridge, we decided to make…read morethe 30-to-40-minute drive, and it was worth every mile. The interior leans into a classic, welcoming bar vibe--this is a true neighborhood bar that happens to serve incredible food, rather than a restaurant with a bar. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Kate. She immediately treated us like regulars who had been coming in for years. After telling her it was our first visit, she sat us down and recommended the Southwest Eggrolls, which absolutely did not disappoint. We also ordered the Garlic Parmesan boneless wings; they were incredibly tasty, delightfully messy, and thankfully served with plenty of napkins. For our mains, we ordered the Ridge Burger, the Frisco Melt, and the Mushroom Swiss (to which I added bacon and this was REAL bacon, not that fast food bacon) for $17 each. The menu notes that the patties are a premium blend of chuck, brisket, and short rib, which translates to an incredibly juicy and flavorful burger. As someone whose biggest pet peeve is an untoasted bun, I was thrilled to find that The Ridge grills theirs to perfection. Each burger was a standout in its own right. For sides, we added the fries, tater tots, and sweet potato fries ($3.00 each). The tater tots were the absolute star of the show, followed closely by the fries (Kate even agreed that the tots are her personal favorite!). Huge thanks to Kate for the warm hospitality and great recommendations. We will absolutely be back!

We visited JC's Pub yesterday, and it had been quite a while since our last visit. After this…read moreexperience, we regretted waiting so long to return. The restaurant has a classic old-school Italian supper club vibe. The staff is very friendly, and the owner, Joe, is almost always there greeting guests with a warm smile and a handshake, which adds a nice personal touch. We sat at the bar and were immediately acknowledged by Gia, who has served us before and always provides great service. She took our drink order and returned shortly afterward to take our food order. My wife ordered a 9" thin crust pizza topped with cheese, sausage, tomatoes, green peppers, and mushrooms. She said it was one of the best pizzas she has ever had. The crust was thin and crispy without being overcooked, and all of the toppings were fresh and flavorful. I started with the fried smelt appetizer. The lightly battered smelts were cooked to a perfect golden brown. The light breading allowed the flavor of the fish to really come through, and the house tartar sauce complemented them nicely. For my entrée, I ordered the corned beef and cabbage dinner special, which is available throughout the month of March. The dinner includes Parker House rolls (which could be a meal in themselves) and a choice of soup or salad. I chose the tomato bisque. The soup was creamy with a rich tomato flavor and small pieces of tomato throughout. It was easily the best tomato bisque I have ever had. The corned beef arrived nicely trimmed and had a great, hearty beef flavor without being dry. It was served with a cabbage wedge and sliced carrots. I appreciated that the vegetables remained slightly firm while still absorbing the flavor from the corned beef. I also requested a side of creamy horseradish sauce, which paired perfectly with the dish. Overall, we had a truly great experience and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Tonight we stopped in to make a catering order for a family gathering next week...I love to cook but Mama Luigi's is a perfect "substitute " for my homemade Italian menu. We decided to stay for a light dinner ordering from the appetizer side of the menu. Grilled calamari on a bed of crispy fried spinach, a huge Sunday salad with homemade meatballs and bruschetta with hot Italian bread was perfect! We were served by a sweet gal named Agnes, who treated us like family. She was attentive, friendly and had a wonderful sense of humor....which is greatly appreciated. Afterwards we ordered cuppacino and Agnes proudly said that she makes "the best"....she was absolutely right! It was the most delicious, frothy and beautiful cuppacino I've ever had....and I've had plenty. So take my advice and try Mama Luigi's if you haven't already. It's a gem waiting to be discovered....by YOU!!
