    Onion rings were meh
    Kati K.

    I had to think about this one for a while before posting my review. My husband and I were born and raised in Chicago, we take our pizza VERY seriously, and we are always on the lookout for a good approximation of Chicago style pizza and atmosphere close to our home. First thoughts, this felt like a Chicago bar, noisy, dark, lots of laughs, sports on TV, fabulous. We waited quite awhile for our beer, but I'm guessing it was due to the large table that arrived at the same time as us. The menu was ok, not a huge selection of appetizers, mostly breaded and fried everything, we got the onion rings, which were definitely just bagged onion rings. Nothing special. Ordered our pizza, and I asked if it was Chicago thin crust, I assumed it was but since it wasn't specified on the menu I figured I'd ask. She said I could ask for it if I wanted it that way, so I guess if you like your Chicago pizza like a Chicago pizza, you have to ask? Well I asked, and it was good, very good I'd say, and the crust was nice and thin and crisp. My husband thought his toppings were a little sparse, but was also impressed with the cracker thin tasty crust. I will definitely go back for another pizza, but I'll be sure to ask them to cut it properly, it came in pie slices and everyone knows a Chicago pizza gets cut into squares! All around, minus the onion rings, this is a good spot for a Chicago style feel and meal.

    The food is always cooked order and there's a large selections. We had the hamburger and pizza we were very happy. My husband absolutely loved to the pizza and he's very picky. They have lots of monitors so there's always entertainment to watch and if you're into sports, this is definitely your place. We went there the second time and they were playing live music. Very impressed. Service is amazing and the OWNER is always right there to make sure that everybody is in good hands. Will definitely recommend to anybody

    6 wings with blue cheese
    Ryan M.

    I went here on a recommendation from my parents that went two weeks earlier. My father raved about the filet mignon sandwich, saying it's the best he's ever had and cooked perfectly medium rare. My experience wasn't as good. I ordered the same sandwich and the meat was overcooked. They put 3 filet medallions in the bread with mushrooms and onions. 2 of the 3 pieces were medium well, and 1 piece medium. No pink or red at all. I didn't taste any seasoning either. The wings cooked perfectly but the blue cheese is nasty. It's not homemade and was warm. I think it's Ken's dressing sitting at room temp. Good wings always come with homemade blue cheese. It's a must for me. I did not complain as the typical response of a restaurant is comping a meal and I don't want that. I would give this place one more chance. Maybe the overcooked steak was a fluke.... Service was excellent. The place was dead so the server only had two tables. The atmosphere is nice and clean. It's much larger than it looks from the outside. I was impressed actually.

    Happy hour special

    Love the staff! Meet the owner, great guy from Illinois. BEARS FAN! Great happy hour deals on drinks and appetizers. Ordered mozzarella sticks...which yes all filled with cheese! Wings were great!!! Happy hour wings...12 for 12$! Deal! Chilled glasses...we love that! Good sized TVs all around. We will go back for sure. Especially for sports outings.

    Meat Lovers Pizza w/o Ham
    Shan K.

    First timers! Auto Inn Tavern has a really cool vibe -- the kind of laid-back, local spot that's easy to hang out at for hours. Loved that they have darts and a pool table, which definitely adds to the fun. The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. We tried the wings and the meat lovers pizza (requested without ham). The wings were really good -- juicy and full of flavor. The pizza was solid too! I just personally prefer a thinner crust, so that part is all about your pizza style -- if you like a thicker crust, you'll probably love it. They also have great happy hour and shot specials, which is always a bonus. All in all, a fun place to kick back with good food, cold drinks, and a welcoming crowd. Will definitely be back!

    NMR Caribbean took over the former location of Tuby Pig Brewpub at US 41. Gone are the stainless…read moresteel brewing tanks. The bar are now clean up and you can enjoy your dinner at the bar! It is family operated and have a nice and clean look! When you look at their menu, they have Griot, a fried marinated Pork Shoulder, Kreyol, Goat Tasso Curry, Lalo, Callalou and Poisson Gros sel. Clearly, NMR specializes in Caribbean Cuisine with a heavy focus on Haitian dishes. Fish is a favorite on Caribbean Islands. In Haiti, poisson gros sel is a popular fish dish. It is simply a poached fish cooked in an aromatic broth. The term gros sel means rock salt, the fish is not salted or salty. With red and green peppers, onions, and some seasons and spices, the broth is light, tasty and flavorful. I ordered a Poisson gros sel, or poached red snapper with plantain, white rice and bean. What a treat! It tasted light, aromatic, and savory, with a little citrus flavor. As the white rice absorbs the broth, it gave your tastebud a surprise! Excellent dinner! The staff is attentive, friendly and welcoming! I observed they have a large number take-out orders. Lalo, Calllou and others look great, but will return just for poison gros sel alone!

From simple things like the bread and salad before the meal as well as the meal and drinks (that mango drink was amazing!!) Everything we ordered was EXCELLENT! We had a ton of food to bring home as well! Would highly recommend!!

No chance of getting a hamburger there. So we finally decided to go to Mel's Diner! Here we can get whatever we want and a home cooked meal. Jason was our very knowledgeable and professional server. He suggested the chef's special-shrimp scallops and red snapper and a side of vegetable rice. At first I was hesitant because I expected something like you see in a Chinese Buffet. But this was actually very tasty and covered with a light sauce. It also came with soup or salad. Dave got the salad and I got the chicken noodle soup. I wanted matzoh ball soup but there was a $3 up charge for a cup. The soup should have been called chicken veggie with two noodles. Very disappointing. We opted to share an order of rice pudding and it was served in an ice cream sundae glass with whipped cream. Delish! Jason was extra attentive and made sure that we had refills and everything we needed. As always Mel's saved the day.
