    Raw ..  had stomach pains afterwards
    Maria Q.

    Went there with 2 other people. After bragging how good the food was... I felt so bad the food was not the best ... the sauce for the gyro was terrible !! The cod sandwich .. which my other friend ordered was the worse according to them. I had a cheese burger towards finishing the there was a raw piece of meat... I ended up with a stomache

    Cheeseburger

    Love this place! It's my go to! So many options and always great service! Their BBQ sauce is homemade and absolutely delicious! All the BBQ items are amazing! Love their ribs which come with 3 sides! So many fry options my favorites are their seasoned curly fries & sweet potato fries! They also have a nice selection of burgers and sandwiches! Tasty dessert menu as well including shakes (my favorite), sundaes, cookie and brownie!

    Great milkshakes, chicken strips, bacon cheeseburgers, fried cauliflower, and onion rings. Check this place out. Johnston brothers approve!

I was greeted by friendly employees at two counters, one for Andy's Sunflower cafe which sells coffee and tea, and one for food (Ain't She Sweet). I had no idea what to order so I asked the teammate at the counter and after discussing my spice tolerance, decided to go for the Jerk Chicken Wrap since it's so popular. It was a bit spicer than medium, which I was warned, but it was worth it. The chicken was juicy and tender and I was impressed by the freshness of the other ingredients as well as their tortilla wrap selection! The chicken gumbo was also quite tasty. I would order both again. The prices were reasonable, it was a $3 upcharge for a side of soup. I sat in the restaurant to eat and enjoyed the music. I think I might have found my new lunch spot!

The clam chowder didn't have a lot of cream to me, but the clams weren't tough. You know usually when you eat clam chowder, it kinda taste like you're chewing bubblegum. The clams were so tender!! I was very surprised. The banana cake is delicious and moist. It's heavenly!!!!!! My jerk wrap was amazing! The chicken was cooked perfectly and it didn't have too much jerk sauce on it so it wasn't salty. It was delicious. I highly recommend Ain't She Sweet Cafe at either location!!!

First time I came in got southwestern chicken soup. Spicy without being overwhelmingly hot. Lot better than progreessos version of the soup. And a grilled cheese that came with fries. Grilled cheese is an outstanding sandwich one that I don't eat as much since I'm not a kid anymore but it felt all warm, gooey brought back childhood memories. Second time I came got jerk chicken salad. Flavorful, zesty. The jerk chicken didn't have the taste from like an actual jerk place but I liked it. I got the Maplewood fat pug for a beverage. It also looks like they sell beer to go.

    Food is fantastic. Price is high. Service from Nick (owner) was TERRIBLE…read more I was a long-time (20+ yr), loyal customer up til I was yelled at by Nick because I spoke up about consistently receiving orders much later than promised via online orders. I had placed many online orders for pick-up on my 30min lunch break, to ensure I had proper time to drive to, pick up my food, and quickly drive back from the restaurant. After a few pick-ups took around 20mins after promised time, I was pretty upset. I was told they only start making food once the person is there to pick it up, so I asked what's the point of placing an order online and receiving a pick-up time, when the food only starts to get made once you're at the restaurant to pick up? That's when the owner stepped in (My family and I have had many pleasant convos with him before at the old location), turned red, bunched up his face, and legit yelled at me "What do you expect? Do you want your fries to be cold or do you want them fresh?" (I was taken aback, and responded "I expect my order to be ready at the time indicated"). He told me I could go elsewhere. I get it. I was receiving consistently poor service and was upset when I asked the cashier about timing, so he stepped in to defend his worker. What I don't get is how you can tell a customer to go somewhere else when they're expecting their food at the time promised (or at least within 5 mins...I'm not THAT picky). Perhaps my expectations are too high?

Let me tell you about my 2nd time in this Cooper's Hawk... It was so impressive that I got a membership. I wanted to check it out for lunch with a friend. We went on the Thursday before Easter and to my surprise it was pretty busy! We sat at the bar. My friend has a membership already so we were able to drink one of her bottles with our lunch. Ok, we ended up drinking two of her bottles. LOL. They chilled her bottle in a chiller table side and put a little garnish on our glass for the sparkling wine we chose. The blackened salmon was terrific! It was soooo delicious. I had the lobster, crab bisque it was ok. I enjoyed our wine and the vibe of the restaurant. We sat at the bar and our bartender's name was Megan! She was terrific. I was even able to taste one of the wines I had my eye on. I was told I can try two wines every visit. Stop it. A tasting per month, a tasting at the table? I can't wait to come back.

    I recently visited Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant in Oak Lawn, IL, and overall the food and…read moredrinks were excellent. The meals were flavorful, well-prepared, and thoughtfully presented, while the wine selection was equally impressive. Everything we ordered was fresh and enjoyable. Our waitress was exceptional -- attentive, professional, and genuinely accommodating throughout the evening, despite being clearly stretched thin. She maintained a positive attitude and provided excellent service while managing responsibilities that extended far beyond serving tables. What was disappointing, however, was witnessing the waitstaff also being expected to perform bus boy duties. Requiring servers to constantly clear and reset tables while simultaneously attending to guests creates an inefficient and, frankly, tacky business model for a restaurant that presents itself as an upscale dining establishment. It places unnecessary strain on employees, diminishes the overall guest experience, and makes the lack of adequate support staff highly noticeable. The waitresses handled the situation with professionalism and grace, but management should seriously reevaluate this operational approach and invest in properly supporting their staff. While the food and drinks were very good, I will not return until this issue is addressed.

The beef they had was probably my favorite and I am not usually a beef person. I wish I'd gotten a bit more of it! The mashed potatoes are always a favorite of mine too. The place is both a restaurant and, at the front, seems to have some grocery items as well. They have a wine room, though not something I checked out. The private room was comfortable; it didn't feel overly crowded or anything, even though there were at least eight tables for dining and then a few others for food and gifts and whatnot. The one thing that was a little weird was that there were a couple bathrooms in the front of the room, which seemed like an odd and somewhat conspicuous place to put them. There was a bathroom out in the main restaurant, too, and also a family bathroom which I appreciated. That's where the changing table is located. Parking seems minimal--unless I missed some, it didn't actually seem like enough for the size of the restaurant. But they do have a private lot.

Friendly, quick service, great food! When you order spinach, which you should, they give you so much that your eye doctor will thank them. The place feels like what I would imagine a local bar would feel like. I've been to parties here and the staff was great during those too.
