Bailey's Restaurant Park Ridge, IL
Bailey's is a great place to eat! Big booths, or nice tables. Across the street from the new Walgreens (used to be Thompson's)and the Lincoln/Mercury dealership. Just like home cooking. Good sized servings and very nice wait staff. Clean with lots of parking
Basta Pasta Park Ridge, IL
Big HUGE bowls of very tasty pasta dishes. Not ordinary at all. Parking can be a problem if you don't use the valet service. Decor is great. Noise level is pretty high though - it's the wood floors
Black Ram Des Plaines, IL
The Black Ram is a great place to go for a "special" lunch or dinner. Their pasta salad is made with mostaccioli, sun dried tomato, asparagus, etc. It's to die for. The Black Ram Steak is a skirt steak nicely seasoned and served with a small Greek salad on the same plate. They have a wonderful French Onion soup. The dinner prime rib is huge and their breaded pork tenderlion is wonderful. Service varies by the day and wait staff. A little pricey. Atmosphere is cozy and clean. Friendly greeting staff
Cafe La Cave Des Plaines, IL
Nice atmosphere. Very nice dinning room or the "Cave". The cold potato soup (I can't spell the real name of the soup) is sooo good. I never thought I would like it, but you have got to try it if you are ever there. I had the Shrimp Diablo appetizer. I could've had that for dinner - it was really good. I've had a few lunches there and always was very happy with the entree. It's always very good. Service is top notch, the wine list is very good. Very pricey
Ching Hua's Des Plaines, IL
This is a great lunch place for people who work in the DesPlaines/Rosemont area. Service is quick and friendly. They remember their regulars and their favorite dishes. The diet soup is great - I get the rice noodles with all vegetables and all the plumb sauce. Very nice. Mongolian beef is decent. Prices are good and the portions are nice sized.
El Famous Burrito Des Plaines, IL
El Famous has a wonderful menu - all made to order. Great prices and large portions. When they say football sized burritos, they almost mean it. Their chili is a little thin, but still very tasty. Tacos are good and packed. Tamales are very good - sometimes a little dry, but the tasty lemonade takes care of that. Actually I order the chile mix the tamale in it. The menu is varied and the 5 or 6 items I've tried are very good. Parking at lunch time can be a hassle because it's in a busy strip mall. They don't have enough tables to handle some of the lunch rushes, but they do their best to get your order befor you even make it up to the register. I've been out the door and had my order taken.
Elmwood Family Restaurant Elmwood Park, IL
Great family neighborhood restaurant. Open everyday for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Carryouts are available. Full service bar, counter service, booths and tables. Wait staff varies but usually very good. The specials are really good. Saturday's beef stew is my favorite. Sunday's Cream of Chicken soup is my daughter's favorite and my husband could eat there everyday. Get there early if you want the special - call Dennis and he'll let you know what it is for that day. Lots of tables Parties up to 45 can be accomodated but they aren't private because it's in the bar section. NO PARKING LOT
