Pizzeria | Midway, South Suburbs

Our party of 6 adults and one child enjoyed a wonderful pizza lunch. The appetizers we ordered arrived very soon after we ordered. They were great -crispy super fries and perfect mozzarella sticks. Our pizzas arrived soon after we ate the appetizers. It was nice and hot. The waiter was attentive and kept our drinks filled. The bill arrived promptly when I asked for it. Our family will definitely return! More

Barbecue | Burbank, South Suburbs

We have been frequenting Chucks for many years now. Especially for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. At least a couple of times a month. This is the first Sunday I would have to say the food was not up to par. I order cheese crepes with banana fosters topping. They came without the topping. My daughter got the banana fosters pan perdue toast and the bananas were not even cooked. She also order the Cafe de Olla coffee and it was horrible. Our waitress even went and got her a new one and it was not any better. She says she doesn't want to go there for breakfast anymore. Our waitress was great, it was just the food that is not up to par now. More
