It was a pretty busy night the hostess was very sweet and our waitresss was very attentive and honest. There was a mistake made in regards to an item that was ordered and our waitress came over to tell me it was her fault and that she will get it out as fast possible, I was shocked by the honesty but very much appreciated it as that's how you build rapport with your clientele. A manager stopped by and bought my drink and food for the inconvenience which they didn't have to do but they were very kind for that. When the food came out it was worth every bit of the wait the chicken was juicy the lettuce was crisp. Although mistakes can happen having a staff that acknowledges it is huge. I forgot our waitresses name but she was the shorter of the two she was wearing glasses and a sweater (I was sweating just looking at her). I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends who have some time on their hands because although the food takes a while it is worth the wait. Thank you to staff for a great impression. Will deff be back.

Placed a take out order today ( July 4th) and it was absolutely terrible. The bill was over $100…read moreand the food was not even edible- we garbaged it all. I rarely if ever leave a bad review. I included pics to show. I mean one side of the grilled cheese was not even grilled. The tater tots were in what we assume is a re-used salad container and the steak was like chewing raw hide. The fries were for sure old and the deep fried gnocchi never saw the inside of a deep fryer in its life. Oh well I guess we leave and learn. We are just out $107 now.

Wooden Paddle was a really good surprise. A little more upscale, but still comfortable. It was…read morekinda empty when we went. You can see the pizza ovens from the seats. Smells amazing the whole time. Staff was great. Sean helped us out and gave some solid recommendations. We went with the pepperonly pizza. When it hit the table, the presentation looked amazing. First bite... that was it. The crust had that perfect crunch on the outside but still soft inside. You could taste that wood-fired char, just enough to give it that smoky edge. The cheese was melted just right, stretchy and hot. The sauce had a nice balance, a little tangy, a little sweet, not overpowering anything. The pepperoni was the best part. Crispy on the edges, a little oily in a good way, and full of flavor. Every bite just worked. Thin, balanced, nothing too heavy. If you like pizza, this is one of those spots you gotta try. I'd go back for that one easy.

We went to Wooden Paddle for the first time with a group (including a toddler), and it ended up…read morebeing the perfect setting. It's a shareable, tapas-style dining experience, which makes it ideal for groups. We ordered the Fried Mozz Brick, which was good but didn't quite wow our group. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the Caesar salad, always a go-to for me and this one met my expectations. For pizzas, we tried the Pepper Only, the Sausage Fest, and The Original Mr. Beef, and that one ended up being my favorite. Definitely the star of the night. The drink menu is also great. Lots of options depending on what you're in the mood for. And as a mom, I have to mention the bathroom situation. Although it's downstairs, it's clean, spacious and private, and they have a changing table, which honestly makes such a difference. Believe it or not, not every place thinks about that, and it's always appreciated. Overall, a great spot for groups with good food, good drinks, and an aesthetic interior that left me wanting to go back for more.

Bottom Line: Thankfully, un-corporate, unpretentious , great bang for the buck. Definitely worth a…read morestop. Unplanned stop here but what a welcome surprise on a winter evening at this neighborhood pub that hits the sweet spot somewhere between "watering hole" and restaurant . Lively and cozy, "Livozy" (oh yes I did just coin that) is the best descriptor for this cool little pub right across from a commuter rail stop. Very decent selection on tap. The crowd is mostly local and very friendly. The tenders crushed it in terms of friendliness and efficient professionalism. Zubar has figured out that if you deliver a satisfying experience at very reasonable prices--good value, you will ensure return customers--again and again. (As an aside though, it is a bit of a shame Zubar has not "claimed" this Yelp page projecting the "we're too cool (they are) who cares" vibe but there's a lot of good vibe coming there way...I'll bet they peek anyway.)

Check out this kind of unique zoo themed bar. It's next to a zoo: the Brookfield Zoo to be exact…read more Zubar is a convenient stop for those coming from and going to the zoo. Even those not going to the zoo can enjoy it. This is right off the Metra zoo stop, and I'm wondering how many times I can mention the zoo in this review, maybe 20 times or so. A convenient stop along the Metra gets you here. It's almost seriously there as soon as you get off. This is obviously located on the way to the Brookfield Zoo. It makes a pretty good stop when coming back from walking around. This is pretty much just a little bar with drinks and slots. It's about $5 for a simple cocktail. There's basic liquor. Good place to hang after walking around the zoo and needing to get a drink. It doesn't seem to have food anymore but you can bring some in. There's also entertainment like a jukebox and pool table.

It was nice to see all of the servers and bartenders working together to help each other out. We visited on a night when they had a DJ playing, which added to the lively vibe. The tables were a bit sticky, and when we mentioned it, our server acknowledged they were aware and that new tables had been ordered. The highlight of the night was definitely the burger. I 100% recommend trying one! You could taste the freshness in every bite, with gooey melted cheese and a perfectly cooked patty. Overall, a great spot for drinks, good food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

TL;DR -- Wanted to like it. But missed the mark for me…read more It's on the outskirts of downtown Lagrange. It's next to the Lagrange Rd train station. There's ample parking. First time visitors. We came here on a whim for a quick meal. We were greeted immediately. We arrived at 6:20 p.m. to a virtually empty spot. We were immediately seated. Our server arrived at 6:29, but did apologize for the wait - the patio was busy. To which we said, "THERE'S A PATIO?!" My biggest gripe is that they were slowww. We didn't get our food until 6:55. My wife ordered her steak medium, but it came out a clear medium-well. One of my sons ordered his steak well. It came out toughhhhhh. He could only finish about half of it before saying "my jaws hurt from chewing," and tapped out. He finished my wife's steak. MY burger was great! I added bacon that was fried perfectly. I was pretty impressed with the size of my burger. It was very thick. We had to salt all of our food. Lol! And the fries were decent - nothing to write home about. Note: They charge a credit card fee. Note II: They charge a "market sustainability fee" (WHAT?!)

Jim-may, my man! Nice place ya got here buddy…read more I was seeking a bar that was roughly halfway between Oak Park & Orland Park (meeting someone, heh heh), and I happened to stumble upon this über-divey treasure. Miller Lite was the only beer they had on tap, but you could get a bucket of it for like a nickel. Hyperbole? Maybe. A 60oz pitcher of the classic domestic swill cost only $5, which is pretty damn tough to beat if you ask me. Liz behind the bar was super friendly and introduced herself not long after I sat down. Once my +1 arrived, Liz was nice enough to make a bag of popcorn that she gave us to munch on. Talk about being given a warm reception! They don't accept Discover and have a $10 minimum on credit card purchases, but for a small operation like this it's to be expected, so I can't fault them for that. Some of the barstools are a teensy bit ripped-up, although in a dive bar setting like this, I find that they truly 'complete the look'. Great homey feel and a jukebox loaded with tons of tunes for 50¢ or a dollar per song. They've got billiards tables and a few slot machines that I imagine get a lot of play from their 'regulars'. They also feature Karaoke on select nights of the week. There's a very tasteful piece of nude art behind the bar, which I'm told is a painted portrait of someone who works there. Being a big fan of all things naked people, I found this to be a nice touch amidst the cans of Old Style and half-empty Smirnoff bottles. ....and unless I'm mistaken, I definitely met/talked to/received free shots from *the* Jimmy of said namesake bar. His taste in Huey Lewis & The News (along with his great taste in hats) didn't go unnoticed. He was hilarious and insisted that I stick around for a while [keep in mind this was at 11pm on a Wednesday], but I had to decline. Lyons is generally off my radar, but for the way I was greeted and taken care of at this establishment, I'd not hesitate for a second to stop back in, if I were to be in the area again.
