The Buzz Cafe is a wonderful coffee house and restaurant located in Oak Park's art district. The atmosphere is everything I enjoy in a coffee house. Walls covered with art by local artists, families, friends and students sharing meals and studying. The menu offers many vegetarian and organic options and the food is excellent. My favorite sandwich is the California Turkey and for breakfast the breakfast burrito. The coffee is unbeatable and the service is fast and friendly.
The Buzz is an important part of the Oak Park community and is a wonderful place to go for a strong cup of Chicago brewed Metropolis coffee, a friendly atmosphere, delicious & healthy food, great service and a fun time. Prices are reasonable, you will be paying for the best quality and supporting local business. It is located conveniently off the Austin stop on the blue line in a great Oak Park Neighborhood.

My husband and I ate here on Thursday. The food was amazing. Everything was very flavorful and authentic. The restaurant was pretty busy, but we were still able to get a table promptly. Their Margarita was one of the best I have had, outside of Mexico. Service was fantastic. The owner came over and made us feel like we were family. We will definitely be back and recommend La Majada to everyone!!

A gem of a place! Fairly busy for a Tuesday night, but still lots of prompt personal service. In fact the owners even came to our table and made us feel so welcome. Wonderfully straightforward meal prepared well. The goat cheese appetizer and shrimp scampi got us off on the right start. The arugala salad was with walnuts and sliced apples was delightful, especially good and plentiful gorgonzola! My companion was pleased with the roasted beet salad. The aspargus risotto was delightful and a generous portion. Chicken saltimbocca had a delightful lemon sauce with capers and wonderfully fresh green beans. Others in our party were pleased with very fresh cheese ravioli. But save room for the delightful peanutbutter banana gelato,we had the flourless chocolate cake with it all drizzled with white chocolate. Also had cannolis and I'm no "foody" but I love to eat...oh, the ricotta was so fresh those cannolis, made me think I was back in South Boston. This place was a real treat, moderately priced and kind of a hidden gem. Will definitely be back!
Pros: Unpretentious, just careful service and great food! Never felt rushed, good fresh-tasting entrees and salads, but wonderful desserts too,
Cons: Can't come up with a one--well, I had to wait for the single men's bathroom to open, but it was clean and spacious!

Marion Street Grill servers the best fillet in Chicago area! It is a little pricey. A fillet dinner for 2 without drinks or wine runs about $100. The food is served beautifully and the fillet will melt in your mouth. Reservations are required if you go after 5:00PM. This is one restaurant that knows how to prepare and serve food.

I have been going to The King and I Thai Restaurant for years and in my humble opinion, there is no finer place for Thai food. The minute you enter, you are greeted by the nicest people ever. The restaurant is immaculately clean. But the food is the best. Being a vegetarian, my favorite dish is the pad thai noodles. The vegetarian spring rolls are sumptious as are the egg rolls. The luncheon special can't be beat...$5.95 from 11 to 3. I guarantee, you will not be disappointed going to this gem of a restaurant.
Pros: Food, Cleanliness, Wait Staff

I haven't had their pizza, but their eggplant parmesan is fantastic. I could have sworn my daughter-in-law's Italian mother was in the kitchen, 'cause hers is the best I've ever had. Going back and forth to Pennsylvania was going to be a problem, though. Now I can save on the airfare.

Michael's Beef House is a fast food place that serves up Italian beef sandwiches, hot dogs, polishes, fries, pizza slices, etc. I usually get the regular Italian beef sandwiches or a pizza slice when I go there, and I'm never disappointed. I love the french fries, too. Although the Italian beef is not as good as, say, Portillo's, it's still delicious and is one of the best items on the menu.
Another thing that I like about Michael's is that the prices haven't gone up too much over the years and you get huge quantities of food. I never have to spend more than $6 or $7 to get more food than I can eat!

the sushi is delicious - fresh, big pieces, and lots to choose from, also they make many rolls. the dragon maki (hand roll) is the best - it is tempura shrimp, mayo, masago, cucumber and avocado!!! the waitstaff is also extremely friendly and the service is excellent.
