Restaurants near Independence Grove County Forest Preserve

Excellent experience every time we go. Chopped salad is always a great go to (as are mussels). Had the lasagnatonight which was excellent. Small restaurant - nice local option with a varied menu

First time visiting Coppolillo's Italian Steakhouse. There was a little confusion as too who was actually our server. Apparently our servers family was in in the restaurant so he was doing more visiting than serving. After 5-6 minutes of sitting at our table one of the bartenders asked if we had been helped yet. I shared we haven't and he was the one who told us that our servers family was there. After that the service was great. Drinks were great. Got the mussels and they were amazing. We both got dinners of the specials list for Christmas night. Both were really good. Mine was exceptional. We have been to similar steak restaurant's around the country. I would say the value here was one of the best. I would defiantly go back. I'm not going to hold the small service glitch against them, but I do always try to share the exact experience.

We came here for Christmas Eve and were seated promptly. Our waitress, Lauren, was very good. The food came out at reasonable times until dessert - we waited 45 minutes! Lauren apologized and said it was due to a backup in the kitchen . What I do not understand is that the menu was preset and the desserts should have been plated well in advance. When we left, we heard people complaining that they had reservations and were waiting for over 30 minutes past their reservation time. We enjoyed the atmosphere and food, but the service could have been better. We will definitely come back! I am sure with it being Christmas Eve, the kitchen was backlogged. Hopefully, they get things figured out for next year!

Good food each time we have been there. Love this place!

My friends and I have been coming to Austin's for years on a monthly basis. We are very satisfied with everything about this restaurant, food, service and atmosphere. We are recognized and greeted with a friendly smile every time we go there. I recently tried the Pot Roast Cheese Wedges and they were phenomenal! You will not regret the decision to dine here.
