Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Norridge

We had to wait at least 30 minutes or more before the server gave us water and bread. I honestly thought she had forgotten about us. Turns out they were short staffed and she was handling too many customers at a time. My order wasn’t right (ordered chicken but got fish). This is the second time this has happened. I love Cooper’s Hawk but y’all need to get yourselves together

We always to go Bub City on the Saturday night of the MCACN show. Awesome experience as usual. Thank you!

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.

This neighborhood restaurant rivals any experience downtown! The staff is very attentive and friendly. We have so many menu favorites. For an appetizer, the ropa vieja with a side of guacamole and an order of queso fundido are delicious and a great way to start your meal. The mole sauce on the chicken enchiladas is excellent paired with a side of elote. Other entree favorites are the carne asada, barbacoa tocos and fire roasted shrimp. I love this Mexican restaurant with a Latin influence!

I had visited Rustico's original location on Lake Street in Oak Park when it first opened. I was not impressed. My family and I checked out the Oak Park Avenue location last night and I was in for a very pleasant surprise. This is a completely different, wonderful restaurant! All of our dishes were top notch and the service was very attentive. Also, it was completely full of diners. Obviously, my neighbors have been on to a great thing before I was. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely evening, Rustico!
