Stayed here 4 days & 3 nights and dining here on 3 different occasions. Food is not bad, just hotel food in quality but decent. I had breakfast here once, and dinner twice. 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. read more

Came here Saturday for lunch after a morning of sleeping in bed. We were able to sit anywhere, so that's what we did. The seating area was really nice, clean, and modern. We were given menus and it didn't take us long to look over the short food list. BUT It take a very long time for a burger, wings, and fries to come out. I'd say at LEAST 30 minutes went by before our food arrived. Not sure why it took so long. Nobody was even there but us. And the food was basic, nothing to brag about. read more

If you're in the vicinity of Oak Lawn or Evergreen Park, you will find South Side Social to be a great choice for a well-prepared meal, a relaxing drink, and friendly and attentive service. In particular, the bartenders make you feel at home -- and make you a great drink! With ample parking and an easy-to-reach location, it's my go-to spot in the area. read more

I didn't even get to try the food. Instead, the bartender took care of everyone else that walked in while I sat there and waited. I couldn't even get a drink. Terrible service. read more

Let me start off saying that the only reason I rated this two stars is because our server Rob was amazing and attentive. This location is located in the hotel, in case there any confusion locating the restaurant. Parking was fair, it's a large lot so I'm sure parking won't be that bad. The ambiance and environment was amazing. Large windows, plants, and couches. They also have a lot machines and televisions near the bar area. The menu was great for meat eaters! I'm pescatarian, and there were options but not tasty at all. We actually sent our Buffalo shrimp back, which was not a hassle and Rob was really understanding of while also asking if we wanted anything else. We also tried the pizza which was so much better. We ordered a bottle of rose wine, the downside of this was that it was more of a champagne, which caught me off guard. Our wine or champagne was served in random glasses. The first one was dirty or had nasty water stains. Unfortunately, I probably would not returning as the menu is pretty small and the food wasn't that great. If you want to pop in and catch up on work, watch a game, slots, or hang at the bar, I recommend it for that. read more

I was looking for a lunch place in Oak Lawn and came across here. I didn't realize it was in the Hilton. My friend and I were literally the only people in there for lunch. Service was super slow. I think the server was also the cook I swear. We ordered club sandwiches and they were huge. We probably could have split them. Pepsi was a little flat. I would probably only come back here if I was a guest in the hotel or shopping in the plaza. read more

This establishment is horrible and the health department should be sent to this business. DO NOT PATRON this business - the food is undercooked and was served with dirty silverware. Plus, the manager got an attitude with me because I called out his poor business service & practices. In addition, I was over charged for a menu item and the manager decided to start an argument with me because he didn't want to refund it. Hoping this place is closed down soon, it's gives HILTON a very bad name for the area it's in. read more

This used to be Whitney's Bar and Grill inside the Hyatt. The recent remodeling is beautiful! Stopped in for a drink (best dirty martinis ever) and ordered the calamari. It was delicious. read more

Went here with my coworkers for brunch and the service was just horrible. We got there and had to ask someone who worked there if we just go up to the buffet to help ourselves or what. The waitress said yes and said someone should be coming to our table. We had been sitting there for 45 minutes and still no one came to our table. We had to flag someone down and ask who our server was. Finally someone came to our table 50 minutes after we arrived. When we finished we got the bill and no one came back to take our payment, I had to go to the front desk to see if I could pay the bill. Horrible service and would not recommend. read more

It was just okay. It was pretty quiet and empty. The menu is super small and the food tasted okay. It wasn't the worst food I've ever had but I definitely wouldn't choose to go back if there are other places. The vibes give hotel continental breakfast not fun social hangout spot. read more

Personally, I felt the need to leave another review on my experience. Not only was the entire experience laughable, I believe myself and another person in our party suffered from food poisoning. Within about an hour of eating the meal, we were both RUNNING to the bathroom. I have no clue what is going on in this poor excuse of a restaurant, but it obviously isn't good. I'm considering calling the health department... read more

Sticky tables. Waiter went on a smoke break after taking my order. Soda tasted like mouthwash and Dawn. Please avoid at all costs.

Y'all if you have the opportunity to eat here don't! My table of 5 had to share a single set of silverware. YALL PLEASE DONT EAT HERE! Also our food was incorrect when we got it!! read more

Been here a handful of times and can honestly say, I HAVE NEVER been disappointed! The food is absolutely wonderful, the portions are good for the price but the wine list is beyond great! They have remodeled and it seems that they took this place to another level; I absolutely think that they are on the right track since the remodel. They have this one shrimp (GIGANTIC) in a kind of molasses that is beyond any shrimp I have ever had. The staff there really knows how to serve as well as be courteous and I am really impressed that they know the wine list the way they do. That is a big plus in my book. Definitely worth a try if you are in the mood for a bit more upscale neighborhood place. And its inside the Hilton of Oak Lawn, who'd of guessed? read more

Do not ever eat from this joke of an establishment. Their whole menu is on DoorDash but when we ordered through DoorDash to pick up food we walked in & they said they do not use DoorDash. Even showed them receipt & they didn't care. Doordash gave us our money back but as someone who works in 2 different restaurants, this place should know that customers have the ability to order food from their establishment & get that figured out. Then at 7:30pm on a Tuesday they proceeded to tell us their dining was closed. No wonder I've never heard of this place & it should get shut down. read more

The Eggs Benedict is served traditionally with out any surprises. They serve the dish with hash browns, and asparagus. The buffet is actually quite extensive and you can also have eggs, omelets made to order. Now the sausage is what I expect for Chicago very tasty. The buffet is price reasonably and one trip your on overload Servers are friendly and helpful and it's worth the stop. Especially if your staying in the hotel. read more

Went there for Easter brunch and everything was cold. However the coffee and mimosas were great. No Pasta or omelet station. The Staff was great and very attentive. No hot waffles. Bacon was greasy. Dessert options were lacking and overlying sweet. We missed family favorites. read more

I admit this review is based on one visit alone, and that visit was the Christmas Day brunch/buffet. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and thank you for even offering this on Christmas Day. It's not so easy to find anyone who is open that day. I really enjoyed the prime rib, the mashed potatoes, the shrimp (would have been better peeled already though) and the mushroom soup was fantastic as well as the salads and the chocolate fountain. If I decide to eat out on Christmas Day again, I will come here. read more

I often go to the breakfast buffet, your best bet is to go on Sundays. Sundays are the only day in the week where they omelets and waffles any other day they do not and costs the same. Also noticed that they don't always have smoke salmon which is one of the main reasons of why I like to go here for breakfast. Service is not that great, it will take forever for you to get a refill. Some of the usually items are eggs, bacon sausage, breads, cold and hot cereals, fruit, yogurt and pastries. The food is actually pretty good but not good enough to outshine the bad service. read more

2 visits while staying at the hotel Lunch- our server took 15 min to come to the table despite only having 2 other tables in the restaurant. Sandwiches were delicious but then after asking for our check twice saw our server just hanging out and chatting. Eventually had to approach the kitchen to get it. Dinner- again extremely slow service. Dinner took nearly an hour to arrive. Our 5 yr old was in tears and had only ordered a side salad, so no idea why they didn't just bring that out. When dinner finally arrived the food was wrong and we had to send it back. When the pasta came back the noodles were so overcooked the just turned to mush and the sauce tasted like tomato paste from a can. If not for the polar vortex I'd recommend eating anywhere but here, but if you do go pack snacks and bring a good book because you definitely aren't getting food for hours. read more

Recommended by the front desk as being exceptional food, it ended up being exceptionally bad. Starting with the service: the bartender/waiter never came by to check on me. If I'd try to get her attention she put her head down or went in the other direction. The food was overpriced and sub-par. I ordered a steak medium rare that came out with almost no pink on half of it and then rare on the other half. How is that possible? That takes skill. The asparagus was shriveled and cold and the baked potato was yellowed inside and tasted like it had been cooked for the lunch service and reheated in the microwave (I used to work in food service and I know that look/taste). They thankfully comped the meal (I only ate 1/4 of the steak, 2 pieces of asparagus, and one bite of potato). I am in Chicago once a quarter and will not be back at this hotel or restaurant (the hotel is another story...what a dump)! read more

I suggested this place for brunch with a group of friends. Bottomless mimosas... that alone had me interested. I called and was told I needed to make reservations. Upon arrival, there were many empty tables yet, even with a reservation, we were told we had to wait. We arrived well into brunch service yet we stood for at least 5 minutes. There were several tables needing to be bussed. Once sat, we were asked our drink order. We all wanted the bottomless mimosa. On more than one occasion, we asked the waitress to keep them coming but we always waited with an empty glass. I can understand if they were busy, but the place was half empty so no reason a group should have to wait. We also had to ask for our plates to be cleared which was wrong. Again, they weren't busy so no reason this detail should've gone unnoticed. The food was good and the place was clean. The service without a doubt could've been better, though. This aspect left me disappointed. read more

Ok. Very disappointed in service and lack of attention. Food was OK. Not great. I was the only one in the entire restaurant portion (there were 3 people at the bar). With the lack of diners I had higher expectation led for attention. Three male employees walked back and forth, watched TV and hung out with the hostess while I waited for refills and my check. Buffalo Shrimp we're good but they did a poor job of removing shell and tail. Italian beef was good but roll a little dry. Food was a 3 service was a 2. read more

Nice variety of food for a cheap price. They do order unlimited mimosas and bloody Mary's which is great. It's inside of a hotel and they do have a parking lot. They also offer made to order omelettes, and a bar connected to the hotel to keep the party going. read more

This is a cafe in the Hilton at oak lawn hotel. It was convenient for us to go here for breakfast but it was definitely overpriced that we ended up just going to Denny's the next few days, which was just down the street. We ordered the three egg omelette with ham, mozzarella and tomato ($12.50)... the portion and taste was good. It also came with potatoes and ordered the fresh fruit bowl, which the waitress let me pick my own fruit at the buffet breakfast. We also ordered the steak and eggs meal ($16). A little over cooked, dry and needed seasoning. Aside from convenience, we would not come back or eat here again. It wasn't busy at all, but they still took forever to seat us, take our order and bring our check. read more

I walked in at 11:30 on a Tuesday and there was no one there. I walked around the place (which is connected to another restaurant) and saw one person eating but not sure who served them. I stopped by the bar and saw a guy playing a machine but still no employees. I sat on the chair outside for a few minutes but no one came. I guess they don't like patrons! read more

Everytime I come into Chicago and need a hotel in close proximity to the Beverly area of the South Side, I usually stay at the Hilton hotel on 95th and Cicero. Now, inside that hotel is this little gem of a restaurant and bar. The bar is nice and quiet usually and the restaurant offers great breakfast in the morning and even awesome room service. Ive been eating here for at least 15 years and will continue to do so whenever I visit this hotel! read more

Jace, the bartender, was helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu and different drinks. Drinks and service were amazing. We tried the cheese and meat platter that was absolutely beautiful, almost too beautiful to eat. Will definitely be visiting again when in town. read more

ordered them off door dash, dasher got there and said they "didn't have my order and don't do DoorDash". when asked how that could be since their entire menu was listed, the manager rudely said "I don't know I have no idea" they were not helpful at all and didn't work with me to fix the problem. if I could give 0 stars, I would have. read more

While I am a local I appreciate the great feeling this bar and restaruant have. I am a huge fan of the fish tacos, crab cakes and the brussel sprouts are amazingly delish. They have an excellent selection of bottles of wine but a little lite on the by the glass options. Staff is always friendly, great service and reasonably priced. Definitely a thumbs up for me! read more

Worst place ever had a reservation today for a 2 top and at the time of making it said it maybe 3 was told today they can't accommodate me, I said all your tables are 4 tops please keep in mind I worked in the industry for 7 yrs and she said no we can't we can't I said that is bullshit bc of the tables are 4 tops. NEVER AGAIN will I go to this shit hole of a place. read more

With a location set inside the Hilton, a grand show kitchen and extra effort in the presentation of the food, I can see how this is one of the "fancier" establishments in Oak Lawn. (Although there was some sort of issue with the A/C the day we visited because it was not as cool as it should have been in the dining room, and the server admitted to it being hot.) For appetizers, we had the shrimp cocktail and crab cakes. Sauce for the cocktail was freshly made and the shrimp were huge. Crab cakes were tender and flaky in texture, but very small and had a bland chipotle mayo on top. The garden salad actually had a gorgeous yet purposeful presentation with the red onion, tomato, cucumber and carrots chopped finely on top of a bed of fresh mixed greens and micro-greens. The cucumber was thinly sliced and wrapped around the whole salad. On the other hand, my friend's Caesar was a bit cumbersome as one whole chunk of romaine leaf sitting on the plate, rather than already sliced and tossed into edible pieces. For entrees, everyone in our group ordered some form of steak - Chicago strip, rib eye, filet Mignon. The servers were helpful and took the time to inform us on how to order each type so that they would taste the best. My Chicago strip was juicy and the herb butter on top made it even better. Although, I felt bad that my friend's rib eye came out a bit tough. (FYI-The chef redid it, and it turned out perfect the second time around.) I liked the use of broccolini over the traditional broccoli, and I appreciated the range of potato options (including sweet potato!). However, the parmigiano-reggiano tomato was a little greasy and a bit unnecessary on the plate. In the end, we shared one extremely decadent chocolate dessert of my husband's choice, the flourless chocolate cake. This is definitely a dessert to split for how incredibly rich it is. The texture was more of a cheesecake in the end - highly addictive. read more
