Wonderful and tasty dinner. Their skirt steak is my go-to and once again it did not disappoint. Great portion size and beyond tender. Cooked to perfection. Had mashed potatoes w/o gravy and they were so buttery and yummy. Server was attentive, courteous and gracious. Menu options are plentiful and if you can't find something that pleases you, I don't think anything will. Took dessert home as I was stuffed. German Chocolate cake was an absolute decadent and divine pleasure. read more

Finally was able to return here after so many years and I am pleasantly surprised. Changes made, atmosphere is changed up and this service is amazing! From the bus boys attentiveness to the server being just perfect, it and her name is Terry. She is fun on so many levels! It's 4th of July weekend and she dressed the part and also is giving you amazing service and perfect jokes. I do like when you have servers who aren't uppity and make you enjoy the little time you have in establishments. This is a plus for the restaurant. I had the BLT and for me this is so perfect for me, just filling enough for me to start the day. Coffee is a little too burned shall I say and the pickle is weak with the sandwich, but still that doesn't deter me from giving a good review as I see the wonderful pluses here! My senior mom had the big breakfast with sausage and she said they were perfect. Stop by and give them a try and ask for Terry! read more

Always excellent service! Food is always great! Debbie is always awesome! Thanks! Plus there is pie!!

It's a place that is always busy and the food is always OK to good but hardly ever great. Usually you don't have to wait long to be seated. The management is family-run and pretty friendly. Good selection of entrees. read more

I visited this spot the Saturday before Easter. There was a waitress in a bunny suit so clearly they're very spirited. The service was fairly timed. The booths have the dividers and they seat people next to each other. Otherwise, it's fairly spaced. The menu was nice because it had low carb options under their "dieter's special". I ordered the steak and eggs. I usually get well done steak but they had a note on the menu that said "not responsible for your well done steak". I took that as they'll probably burn my steak so I just got medium well. Steak wasn't super flavorful but it was fine. My partner got the big breakfast with extra pancake and grits. His biggest complaint was the pancakes were ehh. Otherwise it was okay. We paid the front. Overall experience was fine. We probably won't be back. read more

Decent food if you're hungover or coming in from a late night . Expect to use salt and pepper . Expect servers who are probably as geeked up as the patrons. Lol read more

I had the bbq ribs, went back the next week and had them again. 3 days a week they are on special . V was our server and she did a very good job ! Will return !!!!! read more

I went there because a friend of mine does karaoke there, had a great time until you need a drink or any kind of service, it sucked big time, the so called bartender was also working the cash register in the restaurant part and managing the place WTF kind of shit is that! The prices are Fkg ridiculous, $10 a shot and $6 for a beer and $16 for a Long Island iced tea and that they couldn't make right, I highly recommend Not going there the Service and Prices are RIDICULOUS AND OUTRAGEOUS! I will never ever go back there, you looking for a great place to have a great time then Don't go here!! read more

Went to Jedi's other day and they where closed for some reason so we went to this restaurant on 89th and Harlem in Bridgeview called The View which I heard had just recently reopened and WOW it was so delicious I had the greak pork chops and my wife had the French dip with real hand sliced tender roast beef. Jedi's is good but our go to place now is going to be the View and the place not only is beautiful but the waitress and hostess we're really nice. read more

TERRIBLE!!!!! Food was cold Waitress acted like she didn't want to be there that day. I will look the other way when I pass this place up. read more

I LOVE this place!!! Wish I had been coming here for that past year instead of Huck Finn. They treat their customers wayyyy better and the food is excellent and the portions are generous. Plus their pricing is very nice as well. Same breakfast order as I used to get at Huck Finn for less money and with a LOT less attitude. Jedi is going to be my breakfast place from now on. I had a bacon and tomato omlette and my husband had skirt steak and eggs -- both were delicious and we are both happy campers. Highly recommended! read more

The servers are kind and wished us a safe and happy holiday. The food wasn't the best though. read more

Jedi's Restaurant and Grill - Mostaccioli with Meat Sauce and navy bean soup - American Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Broccoli cheddar soup- amazing. Felt like a hug from your mom that wasn't present. This soup did it.

Went there for a quick dinner on a Sunday night. Place was empty. I ordered the chicken parm. I ate 2 bites. It was awful. The breading on the chicken was so salty I couldn't taste the chicken. It was absolutely drowning in sauce. I thought I'll just eat the mostaccoli. The Sauce had no flavor at all. Bland doesn't begin to describe it. It came with a side of canned green beans mixed with what I think was stewed to tomatoes. My husband let me have some of his fried chicken which was bland but edible. It did have a nice crispy coating. The gravy on the mashed potatoes had a strange flavor which we think was nutmeg. Should have saved the $$. At least the dogs will be happy when they get the leftovers. And don't look up. The crap on the vents was dusgusting! read more

This place felt like home. Was treated with kind and prompt service, food was great, and they even treated us with a free desert for a member of our party's birthday. Good ambiance and music to round it out. Couldn't recommend it enough! read more

Jedi's Restaurant and Grill - Outside - American Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

I have been here only 4 times. Tom and the waitstaff are outstanding. Wendy and I have sampled many menu items. (5-stars on the saginaki). It is all good. The French onion soup, the lemon drop chicken soup, the entrees, all flavorful and filling. Bring the family and your friends. This place is worth the drive even if you live in Canada. read more

Best family restaurant around!!! There's a reason why they have been around so long. Homemade soup everyday, daily specials, dessert case.... Enormous portions for the price!!! A must go!!! These type of restaurants are far and few! read more

The worst. Really not a place to eat to gamble if you want but not to eat read more

We just anted some soup and dessert. We carried out a quart of Lemon Rice and a piece of chocolate cake. The soup was very poor for a diner like this. It was disappointing for sure. The cake made up for it and was excellent. Will consider going another time but will pass on the Lemon Rice soup. read more

I used to eat hear but, now it is garbage. I paid 17 dollar's for the Cajun Chicken suppose to be friends hard with egg's and some stringy hash browns. The Chicken was not done the egg's we're just stuck to the container and potatoes were not done. What are u ppl selling? Stay away read more

I went there 11.25.23 and our server was an older woman with dark hair and she was absolutely terrible. Didn't even greet us, wouldn't come around the table, had to call her over to get her attention. Then when I thought things couldn't be worse, the table in front of us shares they had a COCKROACH IN THEIR COFFEE. Absolutely disgusting. I would never be back. read more

Visited this place today as we were back in the area. Service was so slow. Waitress never brought coffee, so another one did and then after 15 minutes, No one came around to refill coffee. I finally had to ask for a refill when they brought the food. The food was not as good as it used to be. However, you do get good portions for the money. I certainly won't make the trip from my home area to eat here again anytime in the future. read more

Really enjoy the service here and the portions are wonderful! The menu can be a bit overwhelming and it takes me a while to make a decision but, I'm always presented with some top notch recommendations by the wait staff! There are so many dessert options as well and I usually get the apple turnover or the carrot cake! There is plenty of parking here! read more

Jedi's Restaurant and Grill - Roast Turkey with Dressing - American Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Well after my last encounter with this restaurant I have to say I was disgusted with my last visit here. I order my usual and chose to get a salad. Everything seem to be fresh. As I'm eating my salad I noticed something brownish black in my garden salad. I pick the lettuce up and seen it was actually a baby roach. I called the manager and he literally mushed it between his fingers and told me it was red cabbage. I was so appalled. I'm a chef I know what I seen. Never again read more

Good Soups and Sandwiches! Nice and quiet atmosphere. Great servers! One of our favorite local restaurants!

The soup was salty and garlicky. The bread had no flavor. The place stinks like floor cleaner lavender or something strong that gave me a migraine. The table was sticky. Not sure what happened to to this place but it went down the drain. The only thing I can think of is them masking other smells. I ended up taking my food to go because I got so sick. read more

Ate in for many years and had take-out during Covid. Gave a pass on anything unsatisfactory during Covid. Decided to pick up a gyros plate after a meeting. VERY disappointed in food and charged a surprised $1.00 "service charge " for take out -total $18.00! Gyros meat had absolutely NO flavor ; pita was stale /no flavor; Greek salad was missing cucumber, feta cheese, calmata olives - just lettuce with underripe tomato. Sorry, definitely won't be back. read more

Best restaurant in town....., My first-time experience was wonderfulllllll. Our waitress Chrissy was very pleasant and kind The owner Tom was great . Food quality was outstanding. We will visit again for sureeeeeee. Super Clean restaurant..., They even have a bar and a game room with wonderful desert choices. LARGEEEE Food Portions I loveeee it. read more

This review is low due to the demeaning and condescending treatment I witnessed by the owner towards the staff in front of customers. Couldn't believe he pointed towards a server & told her to hush, like talking to a child. read more

We've been eating at Jedi's Garden for about 25 years. More often breakfast than lunch or dinner but a couple recent dinner trips had me deciding to do a review. Many people describe this as a "Typical Greek restaurant". Now with exception to the Saganaki, that is just melted cheese in a pan (flames and "Opa!" started as a Chicago thing and not really part of the traditional dish), I couldn't find much that would be found in a Greek restaurant (not a single grape leaf anywhere on the menu). What this place should be described as is a traditional diner with fancier entrees and desserts. The restaurant and restrooms are very clean and there is always an excess of bus boys and cleaners throughout the restaurant. My recent dinner interactions have all involved a waitress named Vee. This woman is a great diner waitress that goes out of her way to make her customers happy and is a great conversationist on most any topic. I now request to sit in her section if she's working. Not every waiter or waitress would be classified as great here. Some would even find it difficult to be classified as good. Your quality of service may vary greatly. The food is usually quite good but the menu selection is pretty big and not every item here is consistent. I've found that ordering the daily specials always results in perfectly cooked and presented food. A few things we had on this last trip was creamy lemon rice soup with a nice depth of flavor and great consistently. A daily special of lobster ravioli was really good and had great lobster flavor, a mild lemon marina sauce, and four nice sized shrimp on top. The pork chops Vesuvio was good but diminished a bit with gloppy gravy and dry peas on top. Fudge eclairs have been pretty good, and the lemon meringue pie is very tasty with a very high and dense meringue. A couple things I don't care for is a "two refills only" soft drink policy (with just 10oz glasses) as each glass of soda costs them less than $.10 cents, and their refusal multiple times to accept the 10% Yelp check-in offer stating "I'm the owner and never offered anything like that!" Not the worlds best customer service to end a visit. Over all a good quality of food for the price and having the right waiter or waitress really makes a difference. I'd toss the rude owner right out. read more

This place kind of feels like some cheap vegas diner that hasn't been updated since the 70s. The staff is nice and friendly, but the food is not very good. The menu has this gorgeous picture of a of a perfectly cooked and garnished steak with sautéed mushrooms and all the fixings. When it came, it was the piece of meat by itself on a giant plate floating in oily water. It was so unappetizing. When I asked for the sautéed mushrooms, I was given a plate of soggy canned mushrooms. Their fries were good, so maybe it depends on what you ordered. The "manager" or owner - a sketchy looking character who looks the the kind of guy who'd come after you for not paying your gambling debts - was just kind of standing around staring at everyone too - especially the ladies. It was unsettling. The staff was hard working and friendly and I feel bad that they have to work in such a cheap place. On another occasion when my mother in law went here with her kids (she is from another country), they brought her the bill right away like they were afraid she was going to dine and dash. read more

I'll go maybe 3.5 stars. Going over the menu, the prices and portions seem a bit cheaper than most other places. Jambalaya - Not your typical jambalaya, but it was okay. They do not skimp on the meats. I just wished they chopped the chicken pieces a little smaller. Blackened Prime Rib Special - My guy got this and it was good. Very tender. Service is a bit spotty. She was pretty good until the end. She came by and asked if we needed anything and I told her refill and napkins. She disappeared and started to help two other tables and took her a while to come back. She came back and asked if we needed anything.....and I had to tell her again. If I do return, I would like to try something else and definitely try out one of their desserts. read more

I remember coming here for the first time. It was on a Sunday, wasn't really packed. They did have soup but it wasn't good. The food wasn't that great. My brother remembers this restaurant too. My cousin brought us here to try it out but my family didn't like it. Definitely will not be coming back. read more

We popped into Jedi's today around 11:50. Our party of 4 was seated right away. Our waitress took a few minutes to get to us. She was very polite. We ordered drinks and received those a few minutes later. Then, we waited about 45 minutes (maybe a little longer) for our food. I had the cinnamon French toast which was pretty good but cold served with cold syrup. I had 3 pieces, 1 of which had a raw center. My husband's meat loaf and mashed potatoes were also pretty cold. My daughter's fries were burnt. Her chicken sandwich was hot and she enjoyed it. My son had the chicken cheddar omelet which he was very happy with. BTW, minestrone soup was delicious. I was a little bummed when we received the check. The drinks were very small at not so small prices. I felt the prices overall were a little high. read more

I am sorry to report that my brother & I went for breakfast. Normally I let things slip if it's hella busy but that was not the case at all with only 6 tables being used. There was just no excuse for bad service. The food was stale, they didn't serve us the complimentary rolls & muffins with butter, the coffee was super super watery, the wait staff was a little grumpy (though the staff that assisted us actually were not), & the hash browns tasted of old oil! I guess I won't come here for breakfast again though I will be coming to see if lunch is still as awesome as it has been each time I have been here. read more

This was the first time I ordered carryout from this restaurant. I have been doing this for the last six months and I was pleasantly surprised. My order was ready right on time, nothing was missing, and I was in and out in two minutes. The food was very good and reasonably priced .I will definitely order from them again. read more
