    Their ad for employment

    Im very dishearted discouraged by this establishment they claim they are hiring 2 days ago and then when you go in..the female manager (name intervening out) behind the bar at the time age discriminate me stating that she is only hiring young indivials for host/phone and acted like they never posted on the internet they needed help at all. She acted clueless. The girls up front where they were nice and said they were looking for work but why she would deny knowledge of it was confusing to them. They apologized but im still dishearted by this place.

    What a cozy little place. I love sneak Pete's! Decent taco Tuesday special. I'm glad this place still exists. Pizza is pretty dang decent. I'd recommend it.

    The customer service was great. This location tends to be very busy. I ordered online, but I could not request for it not to be cut. My order was ready promptly at the time I had ordered it for. Parking is a bit hard to find in front of the store. It does get a bit congested. The cashier was able to give me one that was fresh and not cut. It isn't five star cuisine, but my kids love it. I recommend ordering online. Don't call in orders. They hardly ever answer the phone.

    Ordered at 8:45 PM and they cancelled my online order since they close at 9:30 PM.

    They close at 9:30 PM on Fridays.... Placed an online order at 8:45 PM for delivery, well before their closing time, and they cancelled the order shortly afterwards. Apparently they close much earlier than advertised. Please state so on your website!! Ordered from Jets and received 35 minutes later. Nice to see a pizza joint open on a Friday night. Never again Little Joe's...first time customer is now a never-again customer with a story to share.

    An example of Little Joes customer service.

    OK Frankie. You mentioned to me on Sunday when I sat down to dinner there that you read all of your…read morereviews. Well my friend you had better take a seat and strap yourself in on this one. Frankie's Since 1988 is in my non-humble opinion the best Italian Restaurant in the greater Chicago area, Period. As my previous reviews state, "For 20 years I traveled the US on business with an unlimited expense account (it was my business) and I've eating in the best Italian Restaurant is NY, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, DC and even LA. The LA restaurants were easy to beat because I personally dislike with a passion (my sister tells me that I cannot use the word "hate" during the advent season, but read:HATE LA and every single thing about it. NFL Network and FOX Sports Networks FS1 and FS2 made me gor to LA maybe 20% of the time. I hated being there every single time. My daughter and her wife came in to Burr Ridge, IL from Renton, WA (Seattle) for Christmas and they just left me for my daughter in-laws more difficult planning and arrangements as she comes from yours-mine-and ours situation that is created by Divorce. Last yer we had them for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but this year on December 23rd, I had to say good bye. Before they left I asked them is they liked Frankies? Th ey both said, Hell Yes (they actually would never actually say that) but did embellish that bu offering that we can make this an Annual Christmas tradition and that while they are at it we can do the same every Summer when they make that sojourn back to Burr Ridge every Summer. Frankie's 1988 is literally that good. Frankie greeted us as he does ALL of his guests and I asked him directly to offer me an alternative to my traditional (Always ordered) option that is their Frutti Di Mare. Frankie suggested a couple of options and I settled on the Braised Short Rib over Pasta. Melissa our server indicated that Frankie suggested an upgrade to Risotto instead of Pasta (the kitchen staff is going to hate that I ratted you out on this risotto over pasta swap and it was.....very very good. I felt that I could actually replicate this very dish and rate it 4 of 5 stars. Maybe someone else would rate it 5 of 5 but not me and I felt I just might be able to beat this one. But the Frutti Di Mare? Never. Never ever. Same goes for everything else too. But I'm a foodie with mad cooking skills so, I'll be back twice a year Annually when my daughter and her wife come in. And then just sneak back in whenever I have a taste for the very best Italian Food, Service, Ambiance, and overall experience that you can possibly get in the greater Chicago area. So take that Frankie. and also take my thanks that you made this all happen, starting 37 years ago. Well done my friend, Very well done and Thanks.

    This is a hard 4.5 star rating on its way to the 5. My first…read morevisit I wanted to grant the 5 star rating, although, I had to hold back to be fair. I know it'll be there by my next visit, which will be soon. A seller for me is homemade pasta with an option for gluten free. If it was organic it's a hard 5. No judgement though. Frankie's is the spot where you park up by 3:45/3:50 and wait for the doors to open as their hours are short, hot and sweet. This is a tucked away spot packing tons of flavor on the small menu(major hit). Locals pack this spot asap at the bar so be there by 3:45. Haha. The restaurant has nice decor and attentive friendly service. As the server comes to the table with heavy greetings, they run down the special menu. Drinks are always good, nothing intricate but enough to elevate the experience and hit hard. The appetizers are good. I enjoyed the calamari and shrimp as well as the octopus. But now to the star of the show is their pastas. FRIENDLY REMINDER, all are homemade. The Pappardelle w/ Wide Ribbon Pasta, Black Truffle Cream Sauce and Mushrooms is amazing.. I added the gluten free meatballs and yummy. A savory bite. The rigatoni vodka sauce(added sausage) was a hit. Another star of the table was the Linguine w/ Shrimp,Broccoli, Evoo and Garlic. A fully loaded plate. The Gnocchi w/ Ricotta Cheese Filling, vodka sauce.. added meatballs was another hit. The star of the show was our pizza which resembles a meat lovers with pepperoni, Sopressata and Giardiniera (which is more like a relish and I love). I've had other dishes but after multiple countless visits this is what I love at this time. The pizza is cooked in a high heat oven which gives the perfect char, let it settle for a couple minutes as it sits on the table. Overall, when in this part of Illinois hands down the place to be. Hours are only 4-9pm and that says a lot. My only insight would be ask for the bread to be served warm. I'm sure a fresh loaf in the pizza oven for a couple of minutes will go a long way. ENJOY!

To be clear, the food is still great and the cooks continue to do an amazing job. The issue lately has been the service and overall experience, which unfortunately hasn't been the same over the last couple of months. The only consistency on the service side has been the Hispanic gentleman shucking the oysters ,he's always friendly, hardworking, and deserves recognition. I'm hoping things can get back to the way they used to be because this really was one of our favorite places.

    Not good. Not good. Not good. Regrettably ordered two "made to order" sandwiches from their deli…read morecounter. Both sucked BIG TIME. First sandwich was a custom sub sandwich of turkey, Genoa salami, and rosemary ham with cheese, tomatoes, vinegar/oil, and Italian spices. How a sandwich could taste funny is beyond me, but it did. The meat tasted old and was flavorless. It was pre-cut, not freshly cut meat, so who knows how long it had been sitting out in the counter. The bread was stale, could have broke windows with it. They barely put any meat on it (not that I would have wanted more), the sandwich was all bread. No Italian herbs on sandwich. And the icing on the cake, instead of putting a nice, fresh vinegar and oil/sub oil on the sandwich, I was given a two ounce little package of some generic vinegar and oil that was pre-fabricated by some wholesale company, which also tasted really off. The second regrettable purchase was an Italian sausage sandwich. That too was horrendous. The sausage itself had a funny, off taste, not a nice blend of seasonings. And not that I would have wanted more, but the Italian sausage was old and shriveled, so it was like a child-size portion. I asked for some red sauce on the side, let's just say Ragu would have been better, and that's not saying much. To add further insult to injury, the bun was stale. Also got some Nutella butter cookies that they farm in from D'Amatos that is in the city. I have been in D'Amatos and I love their cookies. With that said, these D'Amato cookies were stale/also tasted off. The tip-off should have been the fact that they must have had fifty or more packaged D'Amatos cookies on their shelf. They are bumping $10.00 for around maybe 12 cookies, so they obviously don't sell all that quickly, turn stale, and there you have it. Also weird vibe in there. The employees (including the Rubino son who is always in the deli area) are not friendly at all. I might be a little bit more forgiving if the employees/owner were nice but they are just really indifferent and very unfriendly (especially the owner). Very unfortunate. Sandwiches from Subway would have been better.

Every Lou Malnati's pizza is handmade from scratch using the finest and freshest ingredients. Every year, the Malnati team hand selects California vine-ripened tomatoes for the perfect sweet and tangy taste. The fresh mozzarella cheese comes from the same small dairy that has supplied Lou Malnati's for over 40 years. And the family's secret recipe for flaky, buttery crust has been passed down from generation to generation. The restaurant has a very industrial and mechanical vibe like downtown Chicago. We were greeted promptly and seated in a booth in the dining area. The service was very attentive and friendly and engaged with us in light conversation. We ordered the Malnati Chicago Classic pizza made with Lou's lean sausage, some extra cheese and vine-ripened tomato sauce on Buttercrust in size medium that was perfect for 3 people. It takes a while for the pizza to be made and baked because it is fresh. The pizza was made fresh with fresh tomatoes for the red sauce and had generous toppings. It was served fresh from the oven and the waitress cut the pizza for us and served us at the table. The cheese was stretching when she was serving the pizza.
