    I am so happy to have found an alternative to Portillos and Joey's Red Hots. As both of them are getting old to me and losing their customer focus. Lucky Hot Dog has their act together. They pack their dogs in a solid styrofoam box so the dog bun doesn't get crushed as they do at the aforementioned locations. They do have a confusing twist on their menu. If you want a Chicago Style Hot Dog then you should order the Lucky Dog as that is what a Chicago Style Dog is. I made the mistake of ordering a Chigago Style Dog and got something else. But i am not complaining. The people there are awesome. Very friendly and professional. The hot dogs are fantastic! This is my new place for dogs!

    Italian beef with mozzarella and green pepper , optional

    Well I tried the Italian beef on garlic bread and I gotta tell you, it was delicious!!! Meat was tender and bread was just right , not too soggy and not hard, I ordered it with mozzarella and green peppers, delicious will definitely return for the Italian beef again , maybe I'll try the combo next time:-) looking forward to it :-) Try the kettle chips, delicious!

    Our company had an all-staff picnic yesterday and we hired The Lucky Hot Dog food truck to cater! They were great & so accommodating! Not to mention, they arrived on time & their customer service was top tier. We received no complaints from our employees; everyone was happy & FULL! The Lucky Hot Dog made our picnic eventful & we had a great turnout. Thank you so much! :)

    Cheap and good

    food is excellent but the way i heard what they do to employees is unacceptable they have a tip jar for tips of course but not labeled tips and they do not share with their employees even though they are working during said time tips are made they keep it for themselves. very shady if u ask me. no reasoning behind why employees who are working during those times wont get in on the action as u may call it. Overall good food but shitty management greed greed greed

    Little local place with good food and signature shakes. They just added a cute outdoor area and it's so close to the park district.

I dug in and enjoyed every morsel. 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.

The manager came over and apologized for the slow service and brought over bread and soup and mentioned that the appetizer will be taken off our bill. Shortly after we received our appetizer and then our main course. The part owner of the restaurant also came over to apologize and mentioned that the soup, bread and appetizer will be on them. After finishing our main course, we ordered a dessert. Our waiter mentioned that the dessert as well will be on them. This is truly excellent customer service!! I have never had 2 managers to apologize and to be so nice to offer complimentary items. I love Season 52 in Orland Park and will continue to frequent this restaurant. Their food is always fresh and well prepared. They focus on fresh healthy foods which I appreciate. A lot of restaurants foods are loaded with a lot of salt and unhealthy ingredients, but Season 52 is on point with their clean food. I can't wait to go back!!

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!

We've…read morebeen there a few times before and have never been disappointed with the food, service, etc. I ordered the Beef Brisket Plate with a baked potato and coleslaw, it was tender with a fair amount of meat. The Patio is the perfect place if you have a large party because you don't have to argue over the bill because each person pays their own, it's similar to a cafeteria, you just get in line read the menu and order, they will bring your order to your table in my case it was pretty quick, before the others had theirs. There's plenty of free parking including quite a few handicapped spots which was good for our party, we're all seniors.

The feel of the establishment gave me cafeteria bbq - sectioned lines, multiple cashiers, and you order with the food being brought to your table. Food came fairly quick. One relative was waiting on his ribs when everyone else received theirs but it finally came. FOOD: It was exactly what I thought because of how it looked. It gave cheap, quick bbq and that's what it taste like. Not saying it was horrible. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. Appreciated the amount of sauce. Meat was cooked fine. Overall it was what it was. I also ordered a slice of strawberry cheesecake. It was fine. Right in the middle in terms of taste. WELL: If in town I'll return if that's where the people take me but I'm not going out of my way. It was just a place to eat.
