Restaurants near Orland Tract Forest Preserve

Pleasantly surprised! Celebrated our 52nd anniversary. Received a card, champagne toast, a rose, and a sign on the table! Shared a bottle of wine, I had the filet and my husband had the filet with the slipper tail lobster. Lobster was a little overcooked, but that happens. What really made our night, was our server Andrea. Very knowledgeable, very efficient, and extremely attentive. We will be back!

First time dining @ Frankie’s and they did not disappoint!! Being an ex server myself, service is extremely important to my dining experience and Frankie’s is top notch!! Someone is always there to clear your empty plates. If your server is unavailable, someone else brings out your food. Excellent excellent service!! And the food…. Omg!!! Started with the Parmesan fries delish!! Had Pappardelle with the braised ribs… it comes with rigatoni but subed Pappardelle. Hubby had Chicken Parm which server suggested to sub vodka sauce… omggggg!!! The owner was right there in the midst of everything…not as a sarge watching his restaurant with an evil eye, but as an owner who has a love for his business and gets right in there working alongside his employees! If I was still serving, I’d have loved to work here! We will definitely be back! Thank you for making my birthday so special!

Excellent food, came out hot and on point. Manager came out and greeted us, also took our order because he said our server was busy and he would right over. Awesome service!

We love Mama Maria’s!! Great food, a fun environment, the staff is always friendly! It is a go to for some of the best guac!

Have been going to D&B’s for 20 years. Sadly the food quality has declined tremendously in my opinion. Used to love their Parmesan crusted chicken, this time it resembled old airline food or a frozen meal in my opinion. The burgers seemed good, so I’ll stick to burgers and chicken fingers I suppose because we do love the convenience of food + games in one location.
