    The cook smoking a cigar while handling food with bare hands at the bar
    Jill T.

    Truly heartbroken to say that one of my former favorite spots has gone to shit. I just went to BJ's for lunch. Usually good vibes are had by all and there's no issues. Not this time. We arrived at 1:01pm and did not get our food until 1:47. The cook, while holding a cigar in his mouth, regularly was coming out from the kitchen to break down boxes and work with some of the frozen food ON THE BAR WITH BARE HANDS. At one point, he broke down a box sitting there and then went back to moving food with his bare hands. We ordered pops, water, an appeitizer, and 3 meals each. The first thing to arrive was a hamburger. Then the appeitizer (5 minutes after) followed by the other 2 meals (a pizza puff & cod with fish). Then i was still waiting on my cajun fries. When the fries did eventually come, I tried some and realized it was just well done regular fries. I told the waitress that I tried the fries and they werent cajun, which she gave me an attitude stating they were. The photo below clearly shows that there is no cajun seasoning on them. She did take it off the bill, which was kind, but honestly will never be returning and shared the photos with my friends who were also patrons. Anyone who wants to eat there deserves to know how their food is being handled, let alone that service will take an hour and if they're wrong, no you are.

    Always a great beer selection. Burgers are always worth the wait. Also has a cool beer garden in summer.

    Best place to get somewhat Mexican food in the Morgan Park area. It always seems to have big crowds…read moreespecially on the weekends. Americanos is known for having some authentic flavors. Maybe not too authentic but still pretty okay. They have a bar area as well as tables. A lot of fairly authentic ethnic restaurants around here. It's for sure not the most such of these, but it holds up okay. There's a lot of the patrons who are of the culture, as well as others who just want margaritas and tacos. Also looks like a great place for a fiesta. There's often some kind of banquet going on. It's about $10 for a margarita. We got a couple of these. I had the Classic Margarita, which is the original lime one. Refreshing. Food is limited for vegetarian choices. It's about $11 for the House Salad. Basic vegetables are on it. Has an arbol lime vinaigrette, which adds spice. She got the Taco Salad which has cheese and jalapeño crema among other things. Most of the rest of the menu is meaty. There's classics like tortas and that kind of stuff. For sure it's one of the reasons to come to this area. It's not the nicest looking but it's still mostly okay. The restaurant is located at the corner of 111th and Western.

    Ordered the fajitas with flour tortillas. The tortillas provided looked like they would go better…read morewith street tacos. The steak fajitas. They were in some kind of tomato sauce which wasn't bad but I thought the fajitas would look more like fajitas like chilis or Applebee's.
