Spinach Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap
Alondra U.

First time here, it was DELICIOUS. I ordered the spinach spicy chicken wrap. Counter ladies very nice and welcoming. Very clean place and everything on their menu looks worth trying. You will not regret it.

Walked in not intending to get a sandwich, but the clerk was soo nice and offered a free sandwich to try out the new sandwiches. The scent started to smell so enticing that I had to order a wrap as well. From the atmosphere here, I will be back with friends.

This place has a large variety of options for a decent price. The workers weren't very attentive, but the food was worth it.

Being serious, who knew this place in Tinley Park could be so good. It looks like an unassuming…read moresmall town cafe with a few slots. Darla's claims to be a deli and gaming parlor, but they got rid of a lot of the menu since the last time. Has actual beers and a few premade cookies and stuff to choose from. There's also a few healthy options. A little place on the end of a strip mall. It doesn't look like much, and it isn't really. The inside has a few slots and tables. Also they have a few beers. It's about $2 for bottles of domestics. They have the usual stuff like Miller Lite. As for the food, it made changes to the menu about what is available. It's gotten rid of all the sandwiches, including the Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich. That sucks. It's about $2 for a bag of chips. There's not much in the way of food except some cookies and pastries. Cool place to have some beers and get food. It's unique from most delis because this has slots, so it's also a gaming parlor. The food menu is limited because there's no more of typical deli things, such as sandwiches.

The corn bread was soft and fluffy like cake...so good and not salty. Worked well w the soups and chili. The woman working is very nice and friendly.

Delicious!! I found out about Just Kabobs from an Instagram video. The commenter said the food was…read morefantastic, so I decided that I'd check it out. We visited on a bustling Saturday afternoon. There were several people already in line who were still looking at the menu, so they told us to cut the line. My sister and I both ordered the chicken kabob plate. Neither of us are big pita fans, so we didn't eat that, but everything else was delicious. The chicken was well cooked and succulent. The rice and potatoes were both seasoned to perfection, moist, and tasty. We were both pleasantly surprised by how good everything tasted. The salad was great too. It was fresh and offset the carbs perfectly. I had the Italian dressing which had a light and refreshing taste. We ordered takeout and ate the food a few hours later. It warmed up well at that time and the following day. The portion size is extremely generous, so there's enough food for a few meals if you tend to eat smaller meals. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service was fast and the gentleman that rang us out was very friendly. Both plates cost about twenty dollars, which is very reasonable for lunch. I'll definitely visit Just Kabob again!

It was well prepared, fresh, and delicious. I also indulged in a couple bottles of their smoothies, blueberry with avocado, banana, bananas, cane sugar, and a strawberry banana with the same cane sugar also vegan friendly. I originally learned of this place when I worked in Tinley Park a couple years ago and drove all the way from Chicago today to go there to treat myself. As usual, I was greeted with kindness by Chris, who was working the register at the time. The ambience is surreal, it provides a quiet place to enjoy your food, read, work or if you need to just reflect on life. This is one of my favorites and although they're not close to Chicago, it's worth the drive! I was a little disappointed that they no longer have my avocado rolls. I really enjoyed those but everything is still good. I wish I could get more vegan options on the menu but overall, Avocado Theory is a 12 out of 10.

They need to replace the door because it is very difficult to open. I've ordered the HAWAIIAN BBQ ISLAND FLAT, and it cost around 9 dollars. The flavor was decent. This flatbread had a few small pieces of chicken, melted mozzarella & cheddar, BBQ sauce, roasted pineapple salsa & scallions on a toasted flatbread. This Flatbread is extremely small and not worth the money! It came with a tiny cup of Kale apple slaw, which was delicious. I regularly order the Detox Island Green Smoothie. It cost about 7 dollars plus tax, and the cup is huge! It's delicious and I'm a fan. This smoothie includes spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, banana & fresh ginger and it is naturally sweetened. The smoothies are made fresh in front of you, and they have many add ins that you can add into you smoothie for extra health benefits. In conclusion, I love the smoothies and will continue to order them! I will not order the food again. The food items are pricey and not worth the money.

SIBLING HANGOUT!!! I…read morehad this place on my list of places to go, and finally, I had an opportunity. It is really visually pleasing in this establishment. VERY spacious, and you wouldn't think that from looking at the building in the parking lot. I will say this OFF TOP, I will be back. This place appears to have lots to offer, and I want in on the good stuff. They have party rooms, a massive bar and plenty of seating for friends, foes and the family. Adorable decor, but also simple. Its a bar/pub friends! Let's get to the sips and bites shall we! I ordered a cranberry and vodka. When it came, it was dang near clear, so I knew that would be my only sip for the evening and some water. lol We ordered starters/apps: Chicken Wings and Cheese Curds. Simple, tasty, hot and the service was SWIFT BABY SWIFT! Entree: I ordered Fish tacos. I had my fingers and toes crossed hoping they were going to be amazing. No sir, no ma'am. Flavorless. They looked great though. I ate half of one and gave to my sib for take home bites. I blame me, I should have ordered something safe, like a burger or something easy peasy. Sis ordered a Patty Melt with fries. Looked good, she stated it tasted amazing. Winner, winner, burger dinner! Bro order a couple things: Chicken Tenders and fries and a Quesadilla. He stated his items were delicious. We sat, ate, sipped and enjoyed the space. I would absolutely recommend this establishment for friend/family gatherings, or popping in for sips and wings. They have an assortment of homemade sips and eats, and their menu is pretty large. If anything, I will be back to try more options of things. Simple grub! Great location and friendly staff! As always, you don't have to take my word for it, go get you some!
