Best Casual Restaurants in Prospect Heights

The spicy vodka pasta was literally heaven so good!!!! And the restaurant was so nice and relaxing

Gorgeous setting. We had river views in summer there are outside tables. A stylish restaurant with a central bar area. The food was fast and delicious and had a great vegetarian selection. About 5mins walk from York Street. Really can’t recommend this place enough.

We ate here on Christmas day. While there was no festive decorations there was a playlist of classic Christmas songs to set the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and made it feel you were dining with family. Top marks for the fatty brisket and smoked chicken. Delicious own brand barbecue sauces at the table. Liked the cornbread. Mac and cheese was good but had better. For dessert pecan pie and key lime pie- both good but not special. Overall a no fuss restaurant that does very good barbecue.

Everything was amazing. We had such a great time and will happily go back.

The food was excellent. Service was fine, pleasant, timely, unobtrusive. The single problem--and the only reason I'd think twice about going back--was the noise. Absolutely deafening--and not from loud music--the acoustics in the place, high ceiling, hard surfaces. We ate early--615 and by midmeal, we, the waiters, and everyone in the restaurant, were shouting to be heard (4 people).
