    Nice place with a good menu and a wide variety of food options. On the day I was there was a Philly Cheesesteak Special. It was verty good!!

    Italian Beef w/hot giardiniera

    Was in the area over the weekend and stopped here both days. I got the 9" Italian beef with hot peppers and some fries. This might have been the best Italian beef I've ever had. And I've been to a lot of places for Italian beef sandwiches... Portions were great, beef was super tender and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

    I've been coming to this restaurant for a couple of years now. Because I work close by the neighborhood. My 2 favorites I usually get most of the time, are the pepperoni pizza special, and the Italian Beef special. I highly recommend others to try my 2 favorites when you're in the area . They have a nice size menu to choose from, nice customer service, a bar with beer on Tap, tv's at the bar and eating area, and extra rooms for parties and other gatherings, along with a date night or game day. I'm looking forward to come back and try other items, and I recommend others to check them out as well.

    It's been a minute since we've had Father's Day Ricky's, but oh yum. Honestly the only pizza I could eat an entire pie on my own. Thin, but not crunchy dough sauce isn't sweet, but very savory and the cheese and topping ratios are on point. We dined inside on this visit and I honestly was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of each slice, but here's a slice of pepperoni my kiddo devoured. The ambiance is very inviting. There's a bar area, and what appears to be a banquet room in the far corner. Ordering by the slice made life easy too.

    Nice spot in the Chicago area. I was in route to a customer meeting while working in Chicago. I needed a place to jump on a Teams meeting and grab a quick lunch. This place was a good spot for both. Plenty of room and tables for work/virtual meetings, but be sure to bring you AirPods because there will be background noise. Food was also good. I really liked the pizza and chicken sandwich. Bar area looked nice, it as a working lunch so I didn't experience the bar, but looks like a good place for beers and watching sports. I recommend stopping in for lunch, dinner, and or drinks if you are in the area.

    First the server was awesome. She kept the drinks and food and helped everyone with their needs. The food was great too. Especially the fried chicken.. everyone said this is so good. The venue room was very clean and very elegant. Met our needs 100% for my wife's 65th Birthday and retirement.

    Awesome crust
    Joan S.

    Went for the first time recently. Food and service was great. We dined in and the staff was very friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. The Cuban sandwich is delicious and both the thin crust and stuffed pizzas are great. The manager even came out to make sure everything was good.

    Food is pretty good. A little pricey as it's the same type of food as Joey's yet is 20-30% higher. Sandwiches don't come with anything (fries, drink). Either make it cheaper or throw in some combo meals without crazy costs. I'd pick Joey's as it's way more bang for your buck. Staff was very nice. Place was quite clean which is always appreciated.

    Raw chicken, zoom in on everything.

    Never order from this restaurant if you're hungry. It'll take 2-3 hours for a thin crust pizza. Do not order from here.

    5 stars for Lemont. Probably 4 stars in Chicago…read more Walked in on a Saturday for an early dinner. It was 5:45, I didn't have a reservation, a they didn't have a table available until 7:30 but there were spots at the bar which they said was full service. My friend and I cozied up to it and ate there. What a surprisingly good experience. The staff was super friendly and that bartenders had great suggestions. I hate when people at the restaurant say everything is good. Not these young ladies. They made some sound suggestions which we followed. French onion soup and the steak frites were both excellent and priced well IMO. They have a really good whiskey/bourbon selection with a few hard to find bottles. I settled on a Blantons neat. They had Pappy, but I'm not wasting money on that anymore. Food came out quickly and we ate and watched a baseball game. The locals at the bar told us about their membership program where I guess for a small mo they fee you get a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate once a month. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I'd certainly join. In any case, if you live anywhere close, this is definitely a worthwhile restaurant to visit. Seems like there were quite a few singles there as well if you are looking to meet someone. I have no idea what the dating scene is like in Lemont, but this might be a good spot to try.

When my friend was going through one of the hardest battles of their life with cancer, this incredible team stepped up without hesitation and donated food to help during such a difficult time. Their kindness went far beyond a meal -- it brought comfort, relief, and a reminder that compassion still exists. In a world where small acts of generosity can mean everything, what they did will never be forgotten. Not only is the food amazing, but the people behind this restaurant have hearts just as incredible as their menu. Supporting businesses like this matters. Thank you for treating my friend with dignity, care, and kindness when they needed it most. We are forever grateful.

I got angel hair with Alfredo sauce and shrimp, which was very good. My wife got linguine, Del Mare with Alfredo sauce, which also was very good. The cavatelli with vodka and tomato sauce with crumble sausage was excellent. We also tried the Alla piccata with chicken, which was also excellent. We got a piece of tiramisu for dessert which also was very good. It was pretty busy there and the service was pretty good sorry about the pictures. I forgot to get pictures of some of the dishes and the ones I do have we already started eating lol I would definitely return here.
