Stopped at Pronto Italian Sandwiches in Des Plaines on my way to the Donald E. Stephens Convention…read moreCenter and it was such a great find. I ordered The Brando (their Italian sandwich) and it was fantastic. The Calabrian chili aioli completely made the sandwich, I'd never had it before and now I'm officially a fan. The place itself has a cool old school Italian deli feel with plaid tablecloths, and the staff told me they just opened in June 2025. I grabbed mine to go since I was working the convention center, but it looked like a cozy spot to sit down too. It's a little hidden, but totally worth seeking out. Definitely one of those spots I'll stop at again when I'm in the area.

Inside you order at the counter and they bring out your food. It was pretty empty when we got there and there is plenty of seating space. The staff were very helpful with ordering and offered suggestions when asked. I got the soup of the day and the Scorsese, Jeremy C got the Brando. These sandwiches were HUGE. I had a regular and I still had enough to save a little for later. Sandwich was hefty had a good chunk of meat and toppings and the flavors! *Chef's kiss*. Loved the food! Definitely worth it!

The sauce on the chicken is light but I thought it was perfect (you may want a sepcify if you feel a way about sauce level). I had the Rose' Ddeok-Bokki, Cheesling Fries, Kimchi Fried Rice, and the Honey Garlic Chicken. The flavors are strong. I mixed the Kimchi Fried Rice with white rice and broccoli for balance. Ill definitely be back!

I went here for lunch and had a nice experience, overall. I have had bb.q Chicken food at a different location before but this was my first time at this location. It wasn't busy when we got here. We were seated promptly. We took our time in deciding a I could not decide between getting wings or 1/2 fried chicken. Finally, I decided to go with 1/2 fried chicken (8 pieces) since I hadn't had it before. The small order of wings also comes with eight pieces and is a couple of dollars less than the 1/2 fried chicken. The food was freshly prepared. The chicken was hot when it came out. My wife got a lunch special of 8 pieces boneless wings in honey garlic sauce which came with fries and a soft drink. I got my 1/2 fried chicken in Spicy Galbi sauce. My chicken was very flavorful. The sauce had a nice taste. It was a bit sweet, a bit savory, and a light kick of heat. One thing different with having this 1/2 fried chicken from the wings I had at a different bb.q Chicken was that the 1/2 fried chicken pieces were not as meaty as the wings. The boneless wings flavor was good as well. The food hit the spot. The service was satisfactory. Next time, I'll go back to having wings.

The ambience is smooth and friendly vibes. I mean it , the TVs aren't too loud , the lights aren't bright it's cool and relaxing. Now the food is a different story. There's a whole halal menu I didn't get to try. I wanted something that was fast but not too fast so I settle on a burger. The bun was decent but the patties looked preformed and kinda bland. There's a whole leaf of lettuce ( iceberg lettuce) of course on top. The tomato slice was double the thickness of a nice slice you would get at any other place. I asked for grilled onions and got this 1/2 thick slice slightly charred whole onion piece like a piece of tree with all the rings. When I tell you about the flimsy over pickled pickles , it was all down hill. Overall their burgers aren't the greatest but there's a whole other side to the menu . So you let me know if it's worth going back .

It took awhile for the order taker to come up to the front. They were somewhere way in the back of the kitchen. I used the restroom while I was waiting for food. Picture of restroom to follow. Food brought out on a timely fashion. I must have been the only one there for perhaps 20 minutes. No one ever came out and checked on me or offered a refill on my drink. Needless to say my stomach started bothering me as I drove home. I barely made it home. Will I go to McA's again? Sure. Just not this one.

It looked like maybe a manager and another employee. They obviously saw us cause they were in front. And they glanced at us. They did not even acknowledge us. They obviously were speaking about something. But they left us waiting for at least 3, 4 minutes just standing there. No hello , I'll be right with you. No , sorry you had to wait. Nothing. What they should've done was just stop there talking. I couldn't believe that. That's what they did. If it wasn't a work meeting I would've walked right out. I will never go back there again. Unbelievable poor service.!!!!! And if this was the manager, he should be reprimanded

The service has always been outstanding. They know us there and greet us when we come in, and if our usual table is available, they seat us there. Their prices are very reasonable, and the food is consistently good, as is the service. I generally go with my elderly mother who lives not too far from the Grill. She usually orders something simple. I try to select different things on the menu when I'm there, but if I get anything more regularly, it would be their taco dinner. But I've had breakfasts and various lunches there. We've never been there for dinner. If you have not tried the Greenwood Grill, give it a try!

Their menu is pretty extensive, offering breakfast plates, omelettes, skillets, pancakes, sandwiches, soups, salads, and entrees, as well as a Mexican menu.

This is definitely a family- owned & -operated business; there was only one server, but the service, surprisingly, wasn't lacking. They have a handful of seating inside as well as some patio seating.
