The group agreed that the drinks were not great. The cocktails tasted off and the sodas had no carbonation. Would definitely come back!

We chose to sit in their outdoor area because the weather was beautiful. For this visit, I've tried: Armadillo eggs- I like the crunch of the crumbs, the flavors were good, but the filling was too heavy Kalbi Short Rib bowl- this was my daughter's dish. it was just ok The Nuremburger- this was the burger of the month (September). It was delicious; the fries were great as well The Smoky Ghost- if you like spice, this is the burger for you. I tried one of the Seltzer; it was okay. My daughter ordered the Raspberry Lime Cola; it was good, although it was a little too sweet for me. Service was friendly and prompt. Our server was very attentive and efficient. The indoor dining area was super loud, so we made a great choice by sitting outside. I wish they had more options for Filipino dishes. I only saw the lumpia appetizer and the beef sisig entree. Maybe next time?

York Road can be VERY loud, but nothing they (151) can do about that. What put me off is I received a reminder of the res via text and was told to limit my stay to 90 minutes. I have traveled the world and eaten in restaurants high and low all over that world -- from fried cricket carts in Shanghai to multiple Michelin stars in Paris -- and this is the first time in my 58 years I was told to sit down, eat, now beat it!! I also grew up in the restaurant industry with our family business growing up, and worked through college in the industry. This is UNHEARD OF!! Yes, some guests overstay their reasonable expectation of a table's availability, but true professionals handle that situation in real time and with SKILL and GRACE. Not with some poorly composed text that essentially tells the person that once you've eaten, I'm not interested in conveying hospitality. All of this AFTER I had to put down a deposit for a table!! Who do these people think they are, Quince?! They sell salads and fried chicken sandwiches!! This was in very bad taste, 151. It smacked of entitlement to my patronage but no willingness to extend TRUE hospitality in exchange. I advise you to be careful as there is more and more competition in downtown Elmhurst, and that won't let up any time soon....and you've just lost another Elmhurst family.

The crispy vegetables with my entree included unpeeled carrots - see photo. A little too organic and rustic for my tastes. The waitress was also a bit annoying. She obviously does not subscribe to the protocol that ladies go first when taking our order. And she seemed taken aback when I stated - "ladies first" and pointed to my wife. She also spoke in plural form when asking us questions such as "Are we having any dessert today?" And lastly, I had to get my own to go container after I stated and motioned with two fingers that we needed two containers. We like this restaurant, the atmosphere is pleasant and we go several times a year; so we are not regulars. We will go back with the hope that this was a one off experience.

Certainly it's not what's considered a "cool" bar. It is if you think a few grumpy old white men complaining and drinking is something cool. That aside, the drinks are pretty good here. It's not extremely expensive like at some hipper ass bars. The good hard stuff is about $9 or so. Also has food. The only thing not greasy or meaty are the Chips And Salsa. It's $4 for a handful. The rest of the menu is stuff like wings and other typical bar fare that's more of an afterthought really. Hard to find. It's in a plaza off York Street. There's a few locals just complaining about crap but this is also good for sports watching.

We had a great dinner here! We booked our reservation on the earlier side and called in to take a…read morespecial request for seating. Since they normally only seat 6 at the table, we had 6 adults plus 1 toddler and needed a high chair at the table. They told us they were able to accommodate, which we were grateful and said that we'd have a little less elbow room, which we were totally okay with. Our party ordered some apps to share (artichoke, shrimp, bread) and we ordered 3 salads to split between 6 adults. I ordered a delicious espresso martini! The food came out promptly and our server was fantastic, however the cook on my husbands's steak and my father in-law's prime rib didn't have the done-ness they ordered. My husband ordered his steak "rare" and my FIL ordered his prime rib medium, but the done-ness on both were swapped when they came out. The server took care of it and the manager came over to apologize and also offer a salad/soup or something for them to eat while waiting for their meat to be redone. This was the only reason for the 4 stars, but otherwise our meal was fantastic! We ordered one dessert to share (between the adults) and a goblet of vanilla ice cream for my kiddo. Great meal all around. J Alexander's is a great place for a party (up to 6 adults) for a special and/or celebratory meal. The food was delicious and the service was great. 4 shining stars.

I ordered the turkey burger at True Food Kitchen and when I tell you I heard the angels SINGING?! Baby, that first bite made me stop chewing just so I could properly process what was happening. The FLAVORS?! Whew! They were flavoring! I did a little dance in my seat. A tear almost formed in my eye. I looked at that burger like, "Now why would you come into my life and show out like this?!" Let me be clear: I don't normally get this emotionally attached to a turkey burger. Turkey burgers are usually just meat and bread however THIS ONE?! This was an EXPERIENCE. A testimony. A blessing between two buns. Seasoned perfectly. Juicy. Flavorful. Absolutely DELICIOUS. While typing this, i just learned that Adam made my burger today and he deserves a raise, a parking spot close to the door, and possibly his name on the building. 30 out of 10. I WILL be back and yes... I'm ordering the turkey burger again because I need to know if what happened between us today was REAL. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!!

I most recently had their skinny margarita and Korean glass noodle bowl. While I totally appreciate the minimizing of oils, salt, soy sauce, etc. this dish tasted like nothing to me.

I did try the seasonal sourdough pita with eggplant dip and that was really good. But some of my favorites are longer on the menu for example, the harissa cauliflower and chicken pizza. Service and ambiance are great. I'll definitely be back in the future but it has fallen off the pedestal a bit for me.

Great perks if you're a member and it's honestly one of the best stores in the downtown Elmhurst area.
