Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Oak Park

Out favorite restaurant ever!! We go out of our way every time we are in Chicago to go to Maya. The nachos are our fav and the Pickana Margaritas are the absolute best!!

We used to be huge fans of Owen & Engine & can see now why this is becoming a local favorite.The place is beautifully lit and feels welcoming. Tuna tartare was very fresh as well as their specialty dish Ossobucco veal shank. Blood orange margaritas were definitely the hit of the evening. Christian & Lupe definitely made us feel part of their own family

My husband and I live in the same town as Donny G's. It was our 1st time there. What a gem. We will be back. The service from the minute we hit the door was outstanding. The drinks and food were so good. We savoured every bite of both our meals. We had the whitefish and rotini w/ meatballs in parm. sauce. The bread and oil/cheese appetizer was yummy. The Pasta Fagioli soup, and Cesar's salad were spot on. We were so pleased and couldn't say enough. It is so hard to get a good meal for the value nowadays. We can't wait to bring our family there. The waitress was warm and friendly. I have a feeling this will become our "go to place" Give it a try, you will be pleasantly pleased.

Edelweiss serves up some of the best authentic German food and beer in the Chicago area. Everyone enjoyed their meal! You Must try the sauerkraut croquettes appetizer. The beer pretzels are huge and delicious. Truly the best German food that we’ve had in a long time.

Excellent Czech/Boehmian food in a city that used to have so much of it and now has very little. It doesn’t look like much, but that doesn’t matter. Show up, take a risk, have a great meal you literally can’t have anywhere else in Chicago anymore. Spring for the herbal aperitif shot on tap and the Karlovarsky dumplings. Dont ask, just do it.
