I was looking for a restaurant that was open for Memorial Day aka my moms birthday. From the moment…read moreI walked in I was created by such a lovely host. I forgot her name but won't forget her smile and inviting introduction. We sat on the patio, ordered a few apps, (Spinach Artichoke Dip, Hot Honey Wings and Bang Bang Shrimp.) All delicious! We also ordered the 7 layer Carrot Cake (Phenomenal) our server went above and beyond. The guests in the patio also joined in to wish my mom a Happy Birthday. If you want great food, drinks, and friendly atmosphere, stop on by!

Tonight was rough. The restaurant was ridiculously cold. The waitress was less than attentive. But…read morethe food was worse. The chicken wings were slightly undercooked and therefore chewy. The burger though...BAD! It was ordered medium and came out rare. We sent it back and it came out well done - hard and dry. Worse - it was saved on the same plate it went back on. When we spoke to the manager she offered to remake it and didn't respond about the plate. We said no thank you and she said she'd take it off the bill and just left.

Went in blindly not knowing what to expect. Ended up being an awesome brewery. The place is large…read morewith two stories and lots of space. We sat at the bar for food and drinks. The beers on tap were really good. We ordered the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, greens, cheese curds, and a hamburger. All were really good. For me the best were the greens (Wow!) and the cheese curds which were lightly breaded and quite tasty. The bartenders were very nice and attentive. Service was quick. The only thing that kept me from giving a 4 star to was the bathrooms. There are 4 large bathrooms which were great. Unfortunately, when we were there, they were very dirty. That won't deter me from returning as bathrooms can be cleaned, and I might up my stars next time. Either way I'm looking forward to more of their food and beer.

Visited Homewood Brewing Company this past Saturday. The building is beautiful, and I liked that…read morethere is both street parking and a parking lot in the back. I originally came for brunch, but my date arrived late and brunch ended at 3:00 p.m., so we had to wait for dinner service to start at 4:00 p.m. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The presentation was nice, served in a large bowl, and the sauce was delicious. However, the portion felt small for the size of the bowl--only four shrimp and not nearly enough grits. My date ordered the same dish and felt the same way. The biggest disappointment was that the food arrived only room temperature. It seems like more and more restaurants are serving food that isn't hot, and that's frustrating. My date also ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The burger came out without the fries, although they were brought out later. Overall, the experience was okay. The atmosphere and building are great, but the food temperature and portion size, left me underwhelmed. I might come back one day to try the brunch menu, but based on this visit, it's probably not a place I'd rush back to.

I was recently looking for some restaurants to try that are black owned. Saw a video that The Black…read moreFoodies did on this establishment so my friend decided to go here on 3/25/25. It's in Flossmoor, IL. I'm so happy to do this review on them. We went on a Tuesday and although I had in mind what I wanted to order from the regular menu, we arrived while their Happy Hour was still going on so we decided to take advantage of their tacos for Taco Tuesday and their guacamole. The guac and chips came out first. It looked so fresh and when I tasted it, the angels were singing! Delicious. Then came the tacos - I was surprised how big they were, filled up with good stuff. I had the steak and the chicken. Both were good but I liked the steak best. I had had a challenging workday so I treated myself to the Lemondrop Flight as I love lemondrop martinis. You can pick three from the flavors of original, passion fruit, watermelon, mango and strawberry. The presentation is beautiful in what they bring it in. Toya, one of the owners made it herself and she is definitely a good at making drinks. I enjoyed them immensely. This place is a total VIBE - small, intimate and cozy. They play R&B that takes you back to the 80s and 90s - we were thoroughly enjoying it. Many come in and sit at the bar where there are two large screen TVs. They also have a small outdoor seating when the weather is nice. We were really enjoying our time there. We had the best wait staff - Chris was super cool, engaging and just plain nice. He was informing us of all the events they have there which piqued my interest. Toya also came over and talked with us and I complimented her on the restaurant and promised her that I would definitely be back and would bring others. I have already posted about them on social media and many of my friends are planning on seeing what they offer. For dessert, I ordered the Turtle Cheesecake. I'm kind of a cheesecake snob because my late Mother made the best cheesecake. The presentation of their cheesecake was gorgeous. The caramel drizzle and nuts on it was inviting. One bite and I was SOLD! I was too full to eat the entire big slice they gave me so I worked on it some more when I got home. This place opened in 2023. I wish them the best because they definitely have something there. I can't wait to come back there, it's a place to come, relax, eat good food and enjoy the positive environment that there. Check out their weekly events, brunch and live entertainment on Saturdays. Thank you Poppin' Corks, A+!!

One of the first recommendations for a restaurant that I got when I moved to the Far South Suburbs…read morecame from a server at a breakfast spot that I had visited. She recommended Poppin Corks Bistro. I passed by several time, and being solo, I was looking to get a seat at the bar rather than in the main dining area. There has never been a time that I passed that there was a seat open at the bar, so I sat in the main dining area this one time. I ordered blackened catfish with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. This was a hit. It was full of flavor without going overboard with seasoning. And I appreciate that it was cooked to order. It made up for the cranberry juice being water with a "hint" of cranberry juice, an indication that it probably came from a tap. Service was top and one of the owners made rounds to check on customers. I may stop by again at some point in the future. It would certainly be a welcomed break when I am taking respite from cooking at home.

Went to the restaurant on a Friday immediately after work. It was rather light with diners…read more However, staff was slightly scrambled, albeit very attentive. Since I was solo, I sat at the bar. I wanted to start with spinach artichoke dip. There was none. So, I ordered carrot and black bean tacos. The tacos were a good backup. Those who lean towards vegetarian would like them. I must say that I was expecting some heat from the jalapeños. For my main dish, I had the shrimp and grits. It took a few swallows before the flavor kicked in. The sauce was tasty, but was maybe a notch above mildly seasoned. I have a feeling that the tomatoes in the recipe added a little acidity. With the addition of spinach, this dish landed in gourmet territory. From what I gather, the restaurant has been under new management for a few years. It feels like they are working out kinks. I will give them a few months before I try them again.

Ok, so I had more. I also tried the shrimp nachos. Pristine! Excellent! And I think the portions…read moreare great. I felt like there was enough toppings to go around. Not just the veggies, but the actual shrimp too. Now I will admit, I've never had shrimp nachos before, but these were great. Seasoned well and super fresh. I'm going back!

The food at Stoney Point Grill in Homewood was honestly disappointing, and the menu was not what I…read moreexpected at all. For the pricing, I expected much better flavor, quality, and overall creativity. The shareables were overpriced, the drinks were mid-level at best, and nothing really stood out enough to justify the cost. The space itself is nice and works well as a social spot or sports bar atmosphere where you can sit, talk, watch games, and enjoy company. That part of the experience was probably the highlight. However, the service was also lacking because the restaurant seemed noticeably short-staffed. It took a long time to receive attention and proper service throughout the visit, which added to the frustration. Overall, the location and atmosphere have potential, but the menu, food quality, drink execution, pricing, and staffing experience need major improvement to match the type of establishment they appear to be aiming for.

Honestly, if you're just driving by, you might not even notice this hidden gem from the street. The atmosphere on the patio made it feel like a neighborhood spot that's worth discovering. The service was friendly, and the overall experience was enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to unwind, catch a game, or enjoy outdoor dining, Lassen's is definitely worth a visit. This was my first there.

The 3- level concept gives you the opportunity to decide how intimate you would like your night to be. Main level allows for booth seating, rooftop provides a good opportunity to enjoy the weather while enjoying your food, drinks and music. The basement was my favorite part. It was the perfect place for ADULT fun. Each level has a bar offering more options based on which level you sit at. My service was great! The young lady was very honest with our food selections. I originally wanted a salmon burger but she was honest about the many reviews so I went with the southern fried catfish that comes with two sides. I chose the rice pilaf and asparagus. The sides were a little salty but overall meal 8/10. I paired my food with a 1800 reposado mule which definitely was delicious. Right amount of spirit and other ingredients. Overall I would be returning to experience the arcade set up in the basement as well as try more food/drink options
