On my most recent visit, I sat at the bar with a few friends, and Alex and Zach absolutely made the experience. They were attentive, welcoming, and struck the perfect balance between genuine conversation and excellent hospitality. I wasn't sure what I wanted to drink, so Alex recommended the Lavender 75, and I'm so glad he did. It was light, refreshing, perfectly floral, and paired beautifully with dinner. Throughout the evening, both Alex and Zach were constantly checking in, making sure my drink was full and that we had everything we needed. Their service alone is enough to make me come back. As for the food, I order the Pot Roast Sliders every single time because I truly think they're one of the best dishes in Cicero. They're packed with flavor, incredibly tender, and the portions are generous enough that I always have leftovers to take home. This visit I customized my meal by skipping the bun and adding mashed potatoes instead, and wow...it was absolutely incredible. The Red Bridge Bistro has become one of my favorite restaurants. Between the outstanding staff, incredible cocktails, and consistently amazing food, it's a place I recommend to everyone. I can't wait for my next visit!

PARKING: 5/5 A lot of free street parking, which we used, as…read morewell as it appeared that parking lots were available to the south and west of the building as well as across the street. SERVICE: 5/5 We made a reservation, but arrived early and were still seated promptly. Kristi and the other food runners were awesome at tending to us, answering our questions, and very personable. AMBIANCE: 4/5 The space tends to the darker side with a tall divider wall separating a dining space from the decently-sized bar area that also includes booths and tables for dining. They also have a large patio space to the west of the building, where they have a trailer serving beverages and live music available. Only real negative was the the door to the patio space was right next to our booth in the northwest corner of the bar area, which allowed a brisk breeze in each time it was opened. FOOD: 4/5 The Bavarian Pretzel ($13) is large and decent. It's served on an upright pretzel holder, heavily salted, and served with a beer cheese that seemed a tad runny and a spicy maple mustard that seemed more sweet than spicy. My wife ordered Blackened Fish Tacos ($17), which come as an order of 2 with cabbage and onion and a side of chips and salsa. She said the tacos were very tasty, the chips and salsa were just OK. I ordered the Blackened Fish Sandwich ($17), which was served on a hoagie-type roll with lettuce, tomato, and onions along with a pickle and side of house-made chips. The fish sandwich had good flavor, and while I appreciated that they made their chips, their flavor was just OK and I couldn't easily access many of the crumbs that scattered through the bottom of the basket. OVERALL: 4/5 Food was good to very good. For the prices charged, the value was not as good as we would have liked. *They do appear to have a happy hour Tuesday-Friday 4:00-6:00 that offers half price on the wings and pretzel as well as some beverage specials.

The facility is not overly attractive or inviting. You have to decide which door to use depending on which business you are frequenting. I didn't see any signs for the outdoor seating to direct you to the hostess. The parking lot is large with lots of spaces up close. We were here for food so we picked the door to Grains & Grill. The host was very friendly and kind. The inside looked welcoming. The journey to get to the outdoor seating was a bit of a maze. There seems to be plenty of comfortable indoor seating though it is kind of broken up in disjointed rooms. The outside area was nice. The over hang shielded us from the sun in our evening dinning hours. I found the tables to be a bit close together. There was another party next to our table so we had to be cautious about moving chairs to get situated. The outdoor chairs have a flexible plastic seat. The seat seemed to give more than made me comfortable. The chair seemed a bit flimsy. However, it was comfortable and didn't collapse on me. We started with the fried mushrooms. There were a LOT of small mushroom tips in this order. The batter was thicker and a bit mushy. There wasn't much seasoning flavor to the batter but it wasn't greasy to taste. The mushrooms seemed fresh. The dish was fairly good. The cocktail sauce had a decent amount of zip to it. My wife had the blackened fish tacos. Two came with the order. She loved the fresh taste. Definitely not a fishy taste. Delicious she said! I decided to try the Hoosier Hot Plate. It seemed like a house speciality...so why not! The tenderloin was outstanding! The pork was moist and juicy and moderately thin. The breading was nicely crunchy and moderately thick with a slight greasy taste. Maybe the best tenderloin I have ever had! The tenderloin was laid on top of a bed a real mashed potatoes. You could tell they were real by the lumps I bone smooth consistency. These were excellent as well. Just like mashed potatoes should be that were going to accent the meat. The tenderloin was topped with a creamed corn. I would have been disappointed if this creamed corn was the side dish. It was kind of bland and didn't have much of a corn taste. It was also rather mushy. I didn't think the corn added much taste to the tenderloin/mashed potato taste. Overall...it was an interesting dish that was worth a try.

Had a birthday dinner here last night. Party of 8. 7 were at or over 80 years old. I'll get to…read morewhy that's significant. We were seated fairly quickly. Our drink order was taken, which was almost all water. Drinks came several minutes later. Orders were taken a few minutes after that. Food did take a bit but not unreasonable. At that time a few people needed more water. It took over 10 minutes before a pitcher of water was delivered to the table by someone other than our server. Bread was requested to the person bringing the water since we hadn't seen our server in nearly 15 minutes. Another 10 minutes and our server comes to check on us. She stated she didn't know about the lack of bread and blamed it on the other employee not telling her. At least another 10 minutes go by and nearly everyone is finished eating when the bread arrives. The food was good and the amount of food was good. All but me had eaten there before. 3 got the Hoosier plate, a couple had the tenderloin, a couple got burgers, and I got the Makers beef tips. All enjoyed their food and only a couple had any left to take home. The mashed potatoes were very good and a large portion. There were several ounces of meat and a good portion of green beans. The food was definitely a 4+. The service was a 2 at best. Along with the poor service, they added the optional 20% gratuity, since we had a party of 8. I knew this was possible since I read it on the menu. Most of the party did not. It was noted on the ticket but it was put very close to the other charges. For some, it was not noticeable. I understand the reasoning behind the charge but if the business isn't crowded and the servers aren't working excessively, I don't believe it's justified. In this instance, it may have led to poorer service since the server knew she'd be getting 20% no matter what.

The sandwich was huge on their freshly made whole wheat bread. The bread melts in your mouth. I was only going to eat half, but it was so good, I ate the whole damn thing. The bacon was thick cut and cooked perfectly. There was egg and cheese on the sandwich as well. The staff and my server were welcoming and kind. Food came out in a reasonable time. They have pastries and fresh baked pies near the counter. The pies looked incredible. I reluctantly, and regrettably, did not indulge. But here I am, 4:00 a.m. thinking about that caramel cream pie.

I came in and was told to sit anywhere. I picked a table by the window and took a quick look at the menu. I went with a pork tenderloin sandwich, no mayo, and a glass of water. While I was waiting for my sandwich, the super sweet waitress came over to inform me that they had to pound out more tenderloins, and that my food would be up shortly. She apologized for the wait (It wasn't even that long, honestly) and said she was going to give me a free slice of pie for the wait. Score! I went with their signature sugar cream pie (never heard of it before). How was it? Great! Its a custard style pie, came warm, nice and gooey and delicious. A few minutes after I ate my pie, my tenderloin came out. How was that? Pretty tasty! The tenderloin is ridiculously larger than the bun. I cut mine in half and stacked it. It was a bit dry (my fault for not adding mustard or something else) but it was good! Super fresh, piping hot, fried perfectly. A good sandwich! And the best part, only $10.00. Food prices in these old Indiana joints are cheap! Loved it! 4 stars for the food, and the bonus star for the friendly waitress and the history of this place.

It is usual to get two small cups of salad dressing with a chef salad, but I have never been charged before. I didn't ask for extra, just French. $.60 isn't enough to make an issue of, but it does indicate a lack of respect for the customer. I guess they think we are all too dumb to notice.

After being seated in a nice booth we were both impressed by the new additions to the menu and the available options. I eat a very low carb diet though and their ala carte menu was crazy expensive. Within a few seconds we heard a customer order a Bloody Mary and were very impressed with their new alcohol selections for a dinner experience, and mentioned to each other we should give dinner a try next time. My wife ordered a platter with crispy bacon and hash browns and I ordered 3 eggs, some bacon, sausage, and gravy. The food was served in a reasonable time but immediately we noticed the bacon was very chewy and had obviously been cooked early in the day and held in a warning pan. We heard 2 other tables complain about the bacon and thus we decided to throw our 2 cents in. The waitress responded with "we can't tell the kitchen anything" and stated customers constantly complain about the bacon. With my ala carte order the bill ended up being $34 which we felt was ridiculous for a 2 person breakfast. Ultimately we will give it a chance for dinner but "The Fried Egg" will be our choice for breakfast for now on.
