Mama Thai is the best Thai food around West Chicago and OP/RF. Mama Thai's interior has beautiful Thai fabrics and intimate wooden booth seatings. My favorite dish is its Basil Chicken. The dish is delicate (very fine ground chicken) with a good kick. In addition, the take-out service is fast and convenient - 15 minutes max. Meanwhile, parking can be a bit problematic since Madison is a busy street, but it is nothing compared to Lakeview/Lincoln Park.

OOooh boy, Robinson's Ribs brings me back to the days of old. Having lived about 10 minutes away from it my whole life, I can say that they are some of the best ribs I've ever eaten in Chicago and the world. The sauce makes the meal! The restaurant itself may not look that great on the inside, but the food is superb. Recommended to all. And if you don't want to go to Oak Park, they always have a booth at the Taste of Chicago. Mmmmmmmm.

I'm from Seattle so I didn't grow up eating deep dish pizza's and honestly I'm not a big fan so Puree's pizza was perfect for me.....not too thick, not too thin. It leans towards New York style pizza's, their cheese is very flavorfull, and their sauce feel like the perfect blend of Itallian spices to me. I highly recommend it. There is the Lake Street Movie Theater across the street so it's the perfect place to meet up with friends or a simple 1st date.

Mickey's is the shining jewel of Chicagoland fast food, and is a model for what fast food should be. Everything on the menue tastes good as I have tried it all. Their Gyros are the best in Chicago. They're not too greasy, great tasting lamb on a fresh pita, with the grilled onions are to die for. The signature burger, the Big Mickey, is a double cheeseburger with a mound of grilled onions, is a meal in itself and costs only $1.12 The shakes and malts are also excellent, the best probably being their pineapple shake. No dish goes near 10 dollars, and you more bang for your buck. The best thing about Mickeys though is its quick service. The line may be long, yet a wait will never be over a few minutes. Pick-up is the most popular option at Mickey's. Overall the best fast food in Chicagoland.
Pros: Great food, Inexpensive, quick
Cons: ambiance

Don't believe the haters, what do they expect to pay for a good meal? Some people should just stick to the golden arches! As a frequent patron and long-time resident of Oak Park the meal and service never disappoint! Everything from appetizer and salad to main course and coffee are excellent. Intimate ambience and friendly staff always make us feel welcome! The fried calamari and the rigatoni w/ fresh mozzarella are must try. If you are carrying out try the BBQ chicken pizza, you'll be glad you did.
Pros: I'm torn between food & service...can't choose!
Cons: Maybe not for very large groups or restless kids but staff is always accomodating

My boyfriend clued me into how wonderful Pete's is, and now we go there at least once a week. From their Italian Beef, to their burgers and ribs, the food is great and fast. I live in Chicago, and I think they're better than the local places I've tried. I just wish they would take credit cards!
Pros: food - especially the burgers, price, fast service
Cons: don't take credit cards

This ice cream is made by the store itself and it really tastes like old fashioned ice cream. Their ice-cream is rich and creamy and full of flavor, not like todays ice creams that are watery and smaller than ever. You can either get the ice cream in tubs by the 1/2 -1 gallon sizes or you can get their home made ice cream bars that are dipped in chocolate. Their prices are a bit more than what you would pay for a mass produced Ice cream bar but its worth every penny.
PROS: one of the best ice cream stores in the state.
CONS:
