    Smoked Turkey Salad
    Tim H.

    And then there were only 2 left in the state. Sadly the one by me in Downers Grove has closed, as did the others, with Park Ridge holding on as well. I had planned a pastrami sandwich day, and was bummed when Park Ridge was out. Took the drive north for my fix. It was very lean but still had good flavor and I added a little heat with their Brushfire sauce. Creamy Coleslaw paired nicely and you can help yourself to a pile of pickles. Staff are always helpful and keep the dining room clean.

    I enjoyed my time here. I was able to make myself an Arnold Palmer, so that's already a fantastic start. The food was really good, and the service was fine. I went during quiet weekday lunch time, so I was able to sit in and read a nice book while eating some good BBQ.

    I want to update my review to 5 stars after the delicious catering spread we served at our Bourbon-Rye-Scotch whisky tasting. We had to provide a substantial meal prior to the tasting, right? We dug into tender beef brisket, pulled chicken, vegetarian green beans, mac and cheese, and the piece de resistance, warm peach cobbler with whipped cream. Our order, we placed the week before, was ready for pickup, packed nicely with plates, napkins, utensils, serving implements, bread, and several flavors and spice of bbq sauce. Our guests enjoyed the tender brisket and smoked pulled chicken. The beans, without bacon, were still very flavorful with onion and seasoning. Though hardly anyone touched the bread, they raved about the Mac and cheese. This was a good and hearty option, our guests enjoyed the food, there are plenty of leftover, and best of all, after a busy week, there wasn't much for me to do. And now on to the veritable whisky river.

    Solid choice for barbeque in the area. The restaurant itself is clean and decorated nicely with plenty of space to sit down and enjoy a meal. Service is quick and friendly from the counter though it can be difficult at times to find the correct person when they call out names for the order. They provide lots of different sauce options here though I would like a bit more contrast between the different options as the combinations feel a bit similar for me -- generally skewing a bit more towards the sweet side overall and not too acidic. You can find all your favorite meats here and the common sides, though there aren't really options that feel particularly special here. The prices are fairly good here, in the mid to lower side -- with plenty of combination options to keep the price per person lower as well. The food itself is fairly enjoyable. The meats are fairly tender though it can be a bit dry without barbeque sauce. The sausage for me was smoked nicely, though I didn't find the smoked turkey to be as good. The beef brisket was quite tender though not very juicy. The sides like the hush puppies and texas toast were done fairly well and complimented the entree nicely. Overall, reasonably priced choice for barbeque with a good number of meat and side options available. The flavors aren't the most amazing, but good enough to satisfy a barbeque craving.

    Huge shout out to the lovely Deerfield City BBQ cashier, she was so helpful to everyone in line and took the extra effort to made sure they took advantage off their City BBQ Awards and coupons! I came during their 25th anniversary celebration and picked up their special pork and chicken sandwich. Definitely a solid BBQ option for the area, I've been here a few times and it's always been good. I also like the nice variety of sauces. Carry out was pretty fast even without doing an online order ahead of time. Even if you don't come here often it is still with it to get the app to take advantage of the deals they do offer. An easy location to get to as well a its on the corner of a strip mall with multiple entrances. The restaurant also appeared clean and they had a good number of staff to help with the dinner rush.

    We stopped here for a quick dinner and the service was pleasant and our food came out very quick! The meats take the cake at this place, we really enjoyed the brisket and the smoked turkey. Bursting with flavor and moisture. The sides were average so that's why this place gets 4 stars for me. Would definitely come back and try some of the other things on the menu!

    From the moment we arrived for our 5:45 PM reservation, we felt so welcomed. Our table was…read morebeautifully decorated with a personalized menu that said "Happy Anniversary" with our names on it, along with flowers and a balloon. It was such a thoughtful touch that made our celebration feel extra special. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful with such a romantic atmosphere. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Our server, Nathan, was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. The manager also stopped by to check on us, which really showed how much they care about their guests. I've dined at much more expensive restaurants before, and I've honestly never experienced this level of hospitality. The food was incredible 10/10! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The portions were generous, and I couldn't even finish my meal because there was so much delicious food. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the outstanding service to the beautiful ambiance and amazing food, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you to Nathan and the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

    We came for an evening with friends and decided to take advantage of the Sunday "per la famiglia…read more(serves four)" special when we saw the menu. What looked like a generous offer of comfort food at a reasonable price, at a lovely Italian restaurant, was actually a gimmick worthy of Ebenezer Scrooge. Dinner started with a tasty chopped salad that would have been a reasonable entree for one or enough to share as an appetizer for two. It was a large spoonful each for four. The four garlic knots that accompanied the salad were each about 2x2x2 inches, and when we asked for a refill of both the salad and bread we were told "that's all you get." The spaghetti came with 2 meatballs in a portion size that looked like it was enough for an entree for only 1 person. We waited a moment and when no more came realized we were screwed. Later, seeing our disappointment, the waiter was kind enough to secretly get 2 more meatballs out of the kitchen for us to pretend there were portions for each person at the table. Had they been serving Italian tapas, maybe we could have pretended it was a fair approach. The 16 inch cheese pizza was good but nothing special and the tiramisu provided 4 small pieces a little larger than the garlic knots mentioned earlier when cut into squares. I don't know what kind of "famiglia" Salvatore "Sal" Lo Cascio, the culinary director at Ballyhoo Hospitality, or Ryan O'Donnell, the CEO, have; but they probably don't eat very much. Perhaps they expect the famiglia of their guests to be a single parent with young children or a group of little persons. In short, the food tasted good, the dining room was lovely, the service was outstanding, and the portions and prices were a complete rip-off to the point that the place should be put out of business. With two iced teas, a glass of house wine, tax and a generous tip the bill came to well over $100 and this morning when checking the receipt for this review I found out that they charged us $8.00 for the extra meatballs which the waiter pretended were a secret, complimentary addition. Not very nice!

I went here with a group of 5 via a reservation. We were immediately welcomed and greeted by a wonderful host who sat us and explained the menu options and recommended we try everything. We did just that we tried over half the menu and everything was incredible. Highly recommend the deviled eggs, brussel sprouts, bao buns, spicy edamame, udon noodles and more. After dinner we popped into the other side of the bar which is an art gallery and the bartender was so friendly, welcoming and fun! We walked around the art gallery, enjoying the beautiful exhibit and sipped our cocktails for at least an hour. This was such a wonderful experience, we will def be back!

    We are really excited to try this because it was advertised as a speakeasy, which was right next to…read morethe gallery restaurant that we have been to before and we like their food. It wasn't so much a speakeasy because it was not hidden, but that didn't really matter to us once we were there . The food was Asian themed and they had different drinks than the other restaurant next-door . I thought the focal point would be a bar in the middle of the restaurant, but there was never any bar that I could locate so that was also confusing. The food was really good. We had black garlic, deviled eggs, some tuna tartare and a lamb Ragu that was really good. So if you're looking for speakeasy, this is not really a speakeasy, but it has really good Asian food so just an FYI when browsing the Internet. The only reason I gave it four stars is because I was expecting one thing when I walked in and I got another, but we were pleasantly surprised with the food and drinks that we received so we will be back.
