I was in the area with my brother and stopped in late one weekend for lunch. Upon entry we were…read moregreeted promptly by a lovely older woman. She told us to sit anywhere so we grabbed a booth in the middle of the restaurant. The location is cozy... it has that classic old school diner aesthetic and feel for sure. I wasn't very hungry so I opted for a grilled cheese and fries. Surprisingly, my brother ordered the same thing except he got his with tomato and ham. We also both had the cream of chicken rice soup. The soup was much too salty but otherwise okay. It's kind of hard to screw up grilled cheeses so we were pleased with our meals. My bro also had a slice of pie which he took home. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. Overall, the experience was a positive one. I'd visit again for sure.

Americanos

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.

Also has more than a few drinks. The food offerings are basic and greasy. Basic looking place in one of the unfortunate suburbs around. It's a great fit for the area at least. The inside of it is quite small and is always crowded no matter whenever. Has a list of drink specials that are daily. It's always $5 to get a pint of Bud Light or a shot of whiskey. As for the food it's the usual fried and meaty. It's about $7 to get things like burgers, sandwiches, or whatever. Again the menu is mostly meaty. They have chips and popcorn. For sure it's not a high class establishment. It's open late. They have lots of games such as slots.

Some days the bar itself can get impossibly crowded as a lot of people go here in large groups. They have great lunch specials and cheap beer specials too. Beer options are standard, mostly domestic bottles and cans with only a few craft options like Founders All Day IPA and 1-4 from Blue Island Beer Company. There's just a few taps, maybe 4 total? The best things for me are probably the grill behind the bar where all the food is cooked to order by your bartender, as well as all the cool events that their owner organizes. He's super involved in the community which is awesome! There's local bean bag tournaments, meat auctions, put put golf tournaments, and roast beef events. It's all super fun. Definitely worth checking out for a cheap burger and beer special. Cheers!
