    Steak on a Steak Kabob
    Titan Z.

    Greetings my Foodzies, yesterday we went to Brooster's's open hearth chicken at 434 22nd St in Lombard. It was a nice clean restaurant with counter ordering and expedited table service. Seating was a choice of table or booth. They had music from the 50s & 60s playing which was nice and since we were the only ones there we could hear it perfectly. We tried the steak sandwich with mashed potato and the steak on a stick with rice and coleslaw. The steak was cooked well but terribly under seasoned. I was surprised that since they had a vast grilling area that there was no char. The mash potatoes had a unique flavor, it tasted as if it was made with chicken broth. I enjoyed it that and the coleslaw was the highlight of the meal. I give this restaurant 2 stars. Give it a try if you desire and let me know what you think. Ciao Ciao for now.

    Double leg double thigh with baked tater and beans. All very good and priced right

    Very solid chicken joint off the beaten path of the Butterfield rd/ Cermak/ 22nd street corridor. Love the marinated grilled chicken and the sides. Order a chicken dinner and get two sides for just under ten bucks. I had the two legs two thighs plate and it was great. They actually gave me baked beans instead of the requested green beans which I decided not to complain about and just try them and now I'm a fan. Baked potato was great. Plenty of seating. Just order find a place to sit and they'll bring it to you. Silverware, not plastic. The service was friendly and I'll be back.

    Half chicken + sides

    Broosters is one of those rare finds that would remain tucked away unless you did some wide-eyed searching. I have to admit, even if I had seen the Lombard location, I don't think I would have given it a try; its THAT inconspicuous. BUT, I'm seriously happy I did. Even if you had decided to walk into the joint, I don't think you'd feel like it was going to produce some b-o-m-b chicken. Its appearance is THAT modest. BUT, the chicken is not. I think the first thing you should do at Broosters is order the whole or half chicken...whatever you feel like you can put away. The flavor is absolutely amazing. Add that charbroiled essence to the mix to seal the deal. What we have in the end is an incredibly moist piece of chicken that hits the spot where it counts. The mashed potato and coleslaw side dishes parallel that of KFC. Texas toast is included with everything! **They have this salsa thats hidden in a white container that you MUST use...it changes everything!!**

    1/2 chicken: Meal with 2 sides = $10.90ish with tax

At first, I was disappointed they didn't have Chicago Italian beef. So I asked what they would recommend, and the very polite lady behind the counter said, "You should try my meatball sub." I laughed and told her, "I don't know... my late grandma (100% Italian) made the best meatballs ever, but alright, let's do it." Then she asked, "Do you want peppers?" and of course my reply was, "Heck yeah!" She chuckled. When the sub came out, I have to say, it was huge. I sat down, took one quick smell and a bite... BOOM. I was instantly transported back to my grandma's kitchen, eating Saturday pasta and meatballs. I highly recommend checking this little gem out. The service, the atmosphere, and especially the food were all amazing. I definitely was not disappointed. P.S. Don't skip the desserts -- once again, absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the memories and the great experience!

I had the pimento dip, the 3 cheese breadsticks, and the baguette with fig spread and honestly considered canceling the rest of my day and just living there. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtful, and ridiculously good. The bread was perfect, the cheeses were rich and flavorful, and the fig spread with the baguette deserved its own fan club. The drinks absolutely held their own too. The Summer Spritz was crisp and refreshing, while the sangria came in with a polite smile and then quietly reminded me to respect it because wow, it was strong and delicious. Beyond the food and drinks, the whole place has this warm, beautiful French market vibe that feels cozy, elevated, and welcoming all at once. Great atmosphere, amazing flavors, and the kind of spot that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend.

We love to buy the cheese to take and create our own charcuterie board at home, but we've also gotten theirs at the store to eat. You can pick 4 cheeses or meat for $20. They also sell everything else you might need to create a charcuterie board, like wine, jams, chocolate, bread, and crackers. I still need to try one of their sandwiches.

They have a decently sized seating area, and in the warmer months, there's a patio to sit outside. It can get a bit loud inside during the weekends and peak hours, so not ideal if you prefer quieter environments to do work. I absolutely love their brownies, especially their blackberry brownie, but they were out the day I went so I got the red velvet cupcake instead and it was perfectly moist and soft. You truly can't go wrong with any of their bakery items. I also got the pesto pasta salad, which I highly recommend.

I had the pick two, which was a half a sandwich (grilled cheese) with a half salad (kale Caesar). The salad was so good! Fresh, crisp and lightly dressed. However, the grilled cheese was pretty sad. I opened it up and there was hardly any cheese. It was just like eating two pieces of grilled bread. They need to improve on that for sure. I also had their 12oz wildflower latte which was very tasty, but served lukewarm and not hot. If the milk is not steamed, it will bring down the temperature of the coffee. I like my specialty coffees served hot. I do have to say every staff member we came in contact with was friendly. They seemed happy and were there to help and answer questions. You place your order at the counter, and you receive a number which you display at your table. There are two dining areas with tables and a few booths to dine at next to where you place your order. Members of the staff bring your order to the table. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. Even with the sad grilled cheese sandwich which was disappointing and the lukewarm latte, I would definitely go back to Blackberry Market again to try other items on their menu. I'll pass on the grilled cheese, though.
