    Hall to the restrooms & back
    Lori S.

    I really like this the scenery for their dining area & how the front has the garage door that they have open. The back outdoor eating area would be a great place to have a party. It's a busy restaurant, I've gone past it quite a bit. The food was okay & the staff were nice.

    The Marley w/Side jerk chicken sandwich.
    Ed S.

    Small place with a big heart and an amazing kitchen. Visiting the area and dropped in for a late dinner. Service was superb!! I was hesitant to order the "Marley" which is a jerk chicken sandwich because I am huge jerk fan but usually disappointed... but. I felt like I was in Jamaica !! Spice was perfect and the onions on top just made it. Wow. If you like spice this is the sandwich to order.

    Amazing food, great service, great place for relaxing and enjoying. Price is very reasonable.

    An order of onion rings! Yum!!
    Debra B.

    Delicious onion rings! I ordered them to snack on while I waited for the rest of my party to arrive. What a great server! She brought us plates so we could enjoy a birthday cake. The restaurant is fun. The music is 80s and 90s in a dh style that's loud enough to sing along and soft enough to ignore so you can have your own conversation. Lots of to-go orders tonight and tables filled with dating people and families.

    Caprese chicken and a side of Mac n cheese
    Kia K.

    I have been here before. Not sure why I never reviewed. Stopped in here because my other two options were closed. It's good, but I don't love Maks. For $15 you should get fries at least with your burger/sandwich. The caprese chicken was good. The chicken itself could have been more seasoned. The Mac and cheese was really goood. Def get that. It's too expensive for what it is. I remembered why I didn't seek it out again after the first time I ate here.

    Grilled chicken sandwich and onion rings
    Carrie P.

    Thought the food was really good. Just a tad overpriced in my opinion, and the $15 burgers and chicken sandwiches do not come with sides. The 3 stars are for how expensive it is, and the bartender is the server, so there isn't really a good sit down experience for the big tip you have to leave. But get the onion rings, if you have someone willing to split. Both of us had a grilled chicken sandwich variation; one plain and one buffalo. Chicken was juicy and not dry. Cute atmosphere with 90's rap in the background. Took me back but the bill reminder me that it was 2025.

    Went there as a Claus couple and had a ball! Families with kids, and lots of adults. Watched staff, servers, cooks/chefs, even the owner. Strong sense of 'community' amongst hardworking staff and many 'regular' patrons. Food looked and smelled 'to die for' and owner asked if we could give another hour. We'd had a long day, but hey, why not?! When we were done, we succumbed to a 'Jack Frost,' a drink with Tito's, Blue Curacao, and large shavings of coconut attached to outer top edge of glass with coconut creme. Beautiful icy look and great taste! Then the comped burger and wedge salad were ready for take home meal. We will return, unsuited, in normal attire, for good food and fun! Try Mak's Place! Kinda loud, a tad warm in a Santa suit, but good people, fair prices and 'bar food,' that goes a step beyond the ordinary! Nice List, for sure!

    Wings and a Burger with waffle fries out of this world!!!!

    Ok, So you All know That I rate Places I go and I can honestly say I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT CALLED "MAK'S HOUSE". And ASK FOR "DANNY" he is sooooo Amazing and Sociable. Danny should be a Supervisor or Manager He is so good to his customers and We Love him he is Everything a Waiter should be and More. To me Customer Service matters and Danny knows how to be with us. He Explains the menu thoroughly and ALWAYS checks on us to make sure we are doing good. They have a back eating area which I enclosed with our food and Dannys Picture. He is a Very kind and nice man... Ask for him he works Mondays -Thursdays -Fridays -Saturday's. The Food is Out of this world and Dannys service is Amazing . The Ambiance is Romantic -Intimate setting.. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!! I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT-PLEASE ASK FOR DANNY

    Blue Baked Mac and Cheese Skillet with blue cheese
    Dalia H.

    We were looking for a good burger place and found this place and the pics looked amazing. We made a pickup order to eat at home because the inside is not our thing. So we ordered a couple of burgers and the Philly steak sandwiches. We even ordered pickles and wings. Burgers were delicious and exactly what I expected from the pictures. Nice and juicy. The Philly steak sandwiches were amazing as well. Fried pickles were ok. Someone in another review said the mango habanero wings were the best ever, but they really disappointed. The only wings that were good were the basic ones. I wish they didn't bread them. Overall, if you're looking for a good sandwich, this is the place. Oh yeah, the Mac and cheese were delicious as well.

    "Loaded" tater tots. Supposed to come with chili and blended cheese, only got bacon bits and cheez whiz

    I really liked this spot. The place has the old-school rustic look.. The staff were super friendly…read moreand made conversation, which you don't get much anymore. I got the Italian sub, it came with mortadella, hot capicola, Genoa salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, and vinegar on Italian bread. First bite, I was like yes... this is it. The flavor just hits right, salty, tangy, and a little spicy from the capicola. Bread had that perfect chew, not too soft, not rock hard. Maybe could've been a little toastier but that's just me, but honestly, it was solid. We also got the Turkey Cobb. Roasted turkey, blue cheese, and applewood smoked bacon on thick sourdough with avocado. That one was so good. The blue cheese really stood out, packed a flavorful punch that tied it all together. Portions were generous too, I didn't even finish it all in one go. I'd definitely come back and try the other sandwiches.

    Finally made it to try Swansons on Saturday. It's a small spot located between the movie theater…read moreand BBQ joint in hothead heart of La Grange. Although there are no tables, there's a ledge by the window with some stools if you want to "dine in". The guy running the place looked young but was super friendly and seemed genuinely passionate about the deli. He told me they make their meats and soups in store. It was a cold day so I opted for a small size of each of their soils that day- chicken noodle, cream of chicken, and roasted stuffed peppers. Everyone in the family had a taste of each and we all had different favorites so I will conclude that regardless of what you get, you will enjoy it! My husband also had their chicken pesto panini while I split a ham and swim with my son. Good flavors and fresh ingredients. Also excellent proportions. We will definitely be back!

    First and foremost - everyone I interacted with was SUPER KIND, and I really liked some aspects of…read morethe experience. But for a premium price, I expect premium product, and this place is rough around the edges in ways that feel easy to fix. I'm pointing them out in hopes they'll be corrected. First the positive - the food was pretty good. Not great for the price, but pretty good. Drip coffee was better than most diners/cafes in the area. The ambience was pleasant. Here's the issues. 1. The furniture needs a refresh and I don't think the place has even been open that long. The side tables by the window are losing their finish - a fragment of wood got caught under my finger nail as I was sitting down and just lightly grazed the table with my hand. I also brushed away a few additional flakes coming up. The chiffon curtains are charming until you look closer and see they're speckled with food from past diners. A moss ball decoration in the bathroom is missing half its moss. It's little stuff, obviously, but when I spot things like this at a place otherwise charging a premium partially for cute aesthetics, I always get concerned that the lack of attention to detail might also be getting reflected in the food. 2. Value for money and food quality are also an issue. $20 for one slice of sourdough cut in half, a rather overdone French omelette with sour cream on top (not mentioned on the menu and a weird choice) a bowl of fruit I wasn't interested in rather than a choice of free side, and sausages I paid extra for, is not good value to me. The bread was good! The omelette was mediocre. The sausage was very solid, had a slight funk to it that I liked and suggested to me it was made in house - but 7 dollars for two sausage patties is absolutely wild. I would suggest Milkstop rethink the combos on its menu to include more and be priced a touch more transparently. 3. Finally, service. Everyone was VERY KIND, again, want to stress that, but service was slow and rather inattentive for most of the meal. The place was only half full, but water and an initial drink order were slow, and I waited for a while for the check while the staff chatted amongst themselves in the corner of the room. Not trying to be a dick, the life of a service worker is tough, but the place was mostly empty and I noticed they already charge a 3% service gratuity on your orders, so I'd expect a little better. Basically this place has a very charming surface with some wonkiness around the edges. I will definitely come back again but guys, come on - ditch the gross chiffon curtains, for both our sakes.

I had the red pepper and cheddar quiche -- delicious! It was light and fluffy and came out in great timing. The salad was crisp and fresh, and the dressing was light -- just enough. Service was great and the entire staff was super friendly. I will definitely be back!
