    Sharska Burger - melted cheese inside
    Jackie K.

    Casual Vibes, Top-Notch Flavors We were in town for work when this cozy little spot immediately caught our eye. With a big "Chicken" sign out front, we knew we had to pull over--protein was calling! I was super intrigued by their chicken dinner, but after scrolling through all the mouthwatering photos on Yelp, I had to try one of their famous melted cheese burgers. And wow... absolutely delicious, satisfying, and everything I hoped for. The vibe here is casual, welcoming, and homey, with friendly service that made us feel right at home. My colleague ordered the chicken dinner, and honestly, it looked incredible--perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. I'm already planning my next visit and, without a doubt, I'll be going straight for the chicken to try even more of their amazing dishes. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!

    Babba specialty pizza

    We have never tried Macedonian food. This place does not disappoint. It is a small restaurant and the staff is nice. We got the Babba specialty pizza and the sharska burger with mashed potatoes. You can pick different side like fries, mashed potatoes, potatoes wedges, and etc. The specialty pizza have diced fresh pork, smoked pork, bacon, and eggs. The pork was perfectly seasoned. The crust was crispy and good. It was different from American pizza. It have no cheese or sauce on it but it was so good. My boyfriend got the sharska burger which was also delicious. The burger was stuffed with provolone cheese. I would definitely come back again to try their other dishes or get their pizza again.

    Impressive! Mediterranean food with familiar enough flavors to please and American palate. I tried the triple b babba burger it was really tasty. The bread was particularly good. Soft slightly doughy. The homemade mayo was just right. And the burger itself exceeded expectations. Slightly different taste from a regular burger, but not so different I wouldn't call it a burger. I give it 4/5. The fries were crisp and hot 5/5. Loved them. The Cucumber sauce was tasty. I sampled the beef soup, taste like Campbell's beef vegetable soup. Not bad, Campbell's is a billion dollar company so they're doing something right. I'm definitely going back. I want to try the pizza as well as other burger dishes. Just went back again today 5/19 The pork pizza is phenomenal. One of the best things I ever ate.

    I was intrigued to find out about this Macedonian restaurant. I have no idea about this culture so I did not know what to expect. The pictures and descriptions sounded good so that's good enough for me! The inside is cute and small and decorated nicely. I had the sharska burger and my husband got the kebapi. The burger was stuffed with tons of melty provolone cheese. I thought the burger was tasty and I appreciated the vegetable components to make it fresher and a little lighter. The fries were thin and crispy. Everything seemed to be made to order as we had to wait a bit. The kebapi entree was huge, definitely enough for 2 meals. The meat was flavorful and tender. It's served with fries, cabbage, onions and tomato and a nice thick slice of homemade bread. I look forward to trying more things on the menu!

    Everything was so fresh! Love the tomato cucumber salad! It was so refreshing. Furnarinki hit the spot! Well balance of cheese and crust! Hubby got a plate full of sausage, fries and shredded cabbage. The well seasoned cabbage salad balanced out really well with the rest of the plate. Will definitely be back next time I am in the area

    One of the best pizzas I've had

    Talk about a hidden gem, check out Babba Grill! Babba Grill is a Macedonian street food restaurant. I actually had to look up to see where Macedonia was. While this is the first Macedonian restaurant that we have ever been to, it certainly won't be the last. We picked up their pork pizza. Now I have had pizza from all over and every style. Deep dish, thin crust, Detroit, New York, tavern, etc. I've had it all. This pizza was like something I have never had before, and I can't wait to have again. The crust, while crispy, is also flaky like a biscuit. Then covered with fresh chunks of flavorful pork. It almost ate like a sandwich. No pizza sauce on this, just pork fat. No doubt one of the tastiest and most unique pizza's that I have ever had. We also ordered their Kebapi which are grilled beef sausages. This was presented beautifully over some onions, fries, fresh bread and tomatoes. This food was so fresh and so good. Their menu is full of other items we'd love to try. Babba Grill looks to be family owned. Such a unique and fun experience and some excellent food. Next time we are in town, we're definitely visiting Babba Grill again!.

    Šarska burger
    Dean J.

    This place brought me home to Macedonia! My family and I were in Chicago recently and Babba Grill was on the list to check out. Just driving up to the place, the parking lot smelled amazing like a čevapi stand in Macedonia. Inside Macedonia music was playing as the place was clean. Loved the Macedonian decor too. I ordered the Šarska burger with šopska salad, we got a 10pc čevapi, order of fries with ketchup and mayo (gotta get that!), kajmak which I could just eat by spoon. You will not have this good of Macedonian food anywhere else in the US. I don't know what else to say about this place but you have to have it. Staff was amazing, service was fast and if you want something custom made they'll do it if they can. After we ate, my wife and I agreed that this place would be worth a drive back from Detroit just to get some food. Great place highly recommend it.

    5 stars for Lemont. Probably 4 stars in Chicago…read more Walked in on a Saturday for an early dinner. It was 5:45, I didn't have a reservation, a they didn't have a table available until 7:30 but there were spots at the bar which they said was full service. My friend and I cozied up to it and ate there. What a surprisingly good experience. The staff was super friendly and that bartenders had great suggestions. I hate when people at the restaurant say everything is good. Not these young ladies. They made some sound suggestions which we followed. French onion soup and the steak frites were both excellent and priced well IMO. They have a really good whiskey/bourbon selection with a few hard to find bottles. I settled on a Blantons neat. They had Pappy, but I'm not wasting money on that anymore. Food came out quickly and we ate and watched a baseball game. The locals at the bar told us about their membership program where I guess for a small mo they fee you get a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate once a month. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I'd certainly join. In any case, if you live anywhere close, this is definitely a worthwhile restaurant to visit. Seems like there were quite a few singles there as well if you are looking to meet someone. I have no idea what the dating scene is like in Lemont, but this might be a good spot to try.

    I was craving steak frites, and discovered Barrel & Vine for a reasonably priced steak meal. The…read morechimichurri sauce with one of the steak options is absolutely amazing - I'd highly recommend. The food is honestly the best thing about this spot; the vibes aren't quite right for a special date night, but might be perfect for a birthday party or girls night out and service can either be hit or miss. If you come here, definitely make a night of it in downtown Lemont - there's lots to explore, whether for a nightcap or dessert after Barrel & Vine to turn it into a night.
