As someone who travels extensively for work, I try to give some love to in-house hotel restaurants…read morewhenever possible. I recently stayed at the Hilton Oak Lawn, and decided to try out the restaurant. I got there during happy hour, and this is an above average one. Good food and beverage specials, but I had a late lunch so I decided to try their wings. Let me say as someone born and raised in upstate NY, I know a thing or two about wings. And without going to overboard, these were not just some of the best hotel restaurants wings I've ever had, these were some of the best...period. First they were good sized, most today are half what a standard wing should be. Secondly, and most importantly, they were actually cooked correctly, so I wasn't eyeing each bite wondering if I was going to eat something uncooked. And finally, the buffalo was buffalo, not diluted or mixed with anything unneeded, it was good, old-fashioned, buffalo. If you happen to be in Oak Lawn, staying at the Hilton or not, stop by and check out South Side Social. Good selection of beers and liquors, great happy hour and friendly service.

It's the understaffed hotel bar and restaurant with mediocre service. It is kind of a free for all for seating with little or no guidance. My recommendation is grab a seat and hope you get waited on my a bartender or the possible the one other server. 3 stars for dinner food 3 for breakfast food (4 for service) 1 for dinner service In summary, Restaurant food is s just ok with poor service and the bartenders and waitress ( aside from the breakfast server) could use an attitude refresher on service and welcome guests. Really felt unwanted here. Experience is like here's you food, eat, and go.

It's awful because it's in a shared parking lot and it's a nightmare to find a spot. For some strange reason, the whole town of Oak Lawn decided to go to that shopping area where Baba Saj is, on a Wednesday night close to 8 pm. Let that sink in. Just a warning, people here can't drive or walk, I wouldn't be surprised if accidents occur here weekly. Aside from that, they have plenty of parking spaces when available. Baba Saj wasn't busy at all. The restaurant is beautiful. I love the interior and I like that they have a patio area to eat in front of the fountain. We ordered a mixed shawarma meal, steak shawarma bowl, and a sfeha flatbread. The staff here is nice. I forgot the name of the older woman but she gave us an extra bowl for free. They gave us a chicken shawarma bowl instead of steak. They didn't want to take the chicken shawarma bowl back so they just put it in a bag and gave it to us. Prices aren't bad. -mixed shawarma meal 4.5 - the mixed meat (steak and chicken) were both very moist and tender. A lot better than Haifa in Orland Park. The fries weren't bad but I would have preferred them to be crispy. These leaned more on the soggy side like McDonald's. I gave it a 4.5 because I wished the shawarma portion was bigger. -steak shawarma bowl 3 - I told my gf this but stop getting bowls. If you want to really experience the shawarma, always get it in a flatbread or pita. Never in a bowl. The meat loses moisture in the open air thus making it taste dry. -sfeha flatbread 4.5 - this was pretty tasty. The meat is moist but the bread on the outside can get slightly dry.

The fried pickles were prepared in a light tempura batter but maintained a crisp exterior texture--exquisite flavor as well. I gave up red meat for Lent so maybe it was just that I was craving red meat, but the "Paddy Melt" as they called it was off the chain good!!!! One of my friend said the "Roadhouse Burger" was a must try next visit. My other buddy was eating more responsibly than us and ate every drop of Chicken Caesar Wrap.

My office was super busy and we needed lunch quick. We decided to order from here because they deliver. What a great call! We ordered at 11:30 and lunch was delivered by noon. The menu has excellent options, including a very good potato salad. I ordered the skinny TKY ( I'm fairly certain that's what it was called ). Basically it's the turkey sub, but with half the meat and half the bread. It's only like 360 calories, but it didn't taste like it. I also recommended the hot peppers on the side. That way you can put as few or as many as you want on your sandwich depending on your level of spice. The prices are right, all the orders were correct, and nothing was forgotten during the delivery including the drinks. read more
