If you like shopping in the downtown Oak Park section right there on Lake St., then Rock L's is a good place to go to sit down for a while and grab a bite to eat. The food is fast, reasonably tasty, and is very cheap. Occasionally it gets a little crowded on weekday afternoons with high school kids from down the street, but usually I've had no problems getting in there and enjoying a burger or hot dog.

I love downtown Oak Park so much, so it’s with a bit of reluctance that I have to give a thumbs down to Rock L’s. The food isn’t bad – let me repeat – the food isn’t bad. But having lived downtown in Oak Park for nearly five years, I visited that place probably twice in total for a burger or fries, and I wasn’t wowed enough to go back there more often. Personally, I much preferred Poor Phil’s down the street (which I recommend especially to first-time visitors to Oak Park - see my review for details), or Mickey’s, which is a less-expensive alternative just north of Ontario Street and Harlem Avenue (within walking distance of downtown Oak Park).
