Nice atmosphere, great service, and tasty food. Got some sausage vodka penne to go tonight and it wasn’t ready when I got there. The owner John came up to me and apologized, explained why it wasn’t ready, and bought me a beer while I waited. When I got home, I noticed he threw some cookies in there, too! I’ve been to fundraisers here as well, great place for those.
My new favorite place!! The bar service is amazing. Fantastic wine choices both on the menu and for the wine club. By far the best calamari I have ever had. And the shrimp stuffed mushrooms were to sir for! I cannot wait to go back!
The service at the bar was fantastic. The food was promptly served, delicious, and beautifully plated. The drinks were perfection. Not a single complaint from 2 gals that can be a little critical.
We had the bruschetta and saganaki for apps, and the lobster ravioli w vodka sauce for the entree. Drinks included: Pina coladas, a chocolate martini, and a pomegranate martini.
Highly recommend this place! Glad we stayed and waited for a table Saturday night. Our waiter (Nate?) Was great! For being so busy all our food came out in order and correct. Everything was delicious! From the soup and appetizer to the main course and dessert! We will be back.
Loved it food and service was great. Our waiter Kevin fantastic. The food was so good. All of it. Best cheese ravioli I ever had. Cannot wait to go back and try other food.
Fantastic food and service! A must go to place when in the area
Food is delicious and the staff is super accommodating. My son and wife have food allergies wheat and dairy are the two big ones. And they have gone out of their way to make food from scratch so they can enjoy eating out. If you are looking for a great steak this is your place. Oh and the lasagna is also a personal favorite
Our waiter Kevin was sooo good. The food was fantastic. I had the chicken parmesean. It was also faster than I expected too. We will be back.
The prime rib was outstandng.the service is alway very good. The owners are great. And a great atmosphere.
Came in over the holidays with several friends and we were delighted with the new lunch menu: bbq pork, cubano, Cajun tilapia and tukey blt sandwiches were very tasty. Had some craft beers, FUN TIME!!!

We came here for lunch and decided to order a chili bowl. It was good but I imagine this place is more famous for its hot dogs which we did not try. The chili was a bit greasy but it was tasty nonetheless.
This is not a seat down and wait to be served restaurant. You have to go up to their large counter and place your order, then go to the other side of the room and wait for your number to be called. We waited about 10 minutes tops and the restaurant was busy as it was a Friday during lunch time.
A must stop for Chicago's best foods. Excellent place for chicago dogs and Chicago beef sandwiches. Also have burgers, sandwiches and salads. Beers are cold and large. Oh, and plenty of deserts as well. Great food
Had a great dinner for our anniversary. The stuffed mushrooms were good but had a great filet mignonmain course. We tried the filet trio with peppercorn, bernaisebqnd blue cheese crusts. We split the main entree and they completely split the order giving us each a plate with even the three filets split for each of us. Definitely would recommend to anyone for a great dinner out.
This place is FANTASTIC! After reading the other reviews, I was shocked that more people didn't love this place. Must have been early trials, before the owners found their "groove"! Great brunch (very affordable), great weeknight specials and a really nice bar with outdoor patio!
My wife and I had an Amazing time here recently. Paul was our server in the lounge & provided us excellent service. This place pours you a real taste of beer if you're having trouble choosing.The wine flights were so delicious too. My favorite food item was the mini Filet sandwiches & pretzels & beer cheese. Frederic came buy our table & made us feel like family. His wine knowledge & great demeanor was that little extra that took our experience over the top! I noticed he made his way around the place to make every guest/table feel special! We'll definitely be back soon. Really chill atmosphere, wonderful staff, & of course great food!!! I have some pics of the deliciousness included.
Decent food... actually, above expectations. We were delightfully surprised by the experience. Our family of six tried several different options from breakfast to burgers to nachos--there were no leftovers. 😋
Second time eating breakfast here and the food is so fresh and delicious. The Eggs Benedict is perfect in the fact that they use thin English Muffins instead of traditional muffins. The California dreaming and Irishman skillets are worth coming back for! The staff is always friendly, welcoming and pleasant to have a conversation with. Hope they keep up the good work!
Had our son and future daughter in law's wedding rehearsal dinner at John and Tony's. They did a great job for us and were very attentive and helpful in planning the event. Recommended!
Excellent Chicken Parm! Other places pound the Breast down to a piece of paper size. Not here it was a big thick piece of meat
Had an awesome breakfast from Happy Hen!
It was my first time here. I ordered and picked up right on the spot and got to enjoy looking at their cozy Christmas decor in their dining area. Benny, one of the owners is amicable and so welcoming.
Food was ready quickly! Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Eggs and bacon were awesome too. Menu has so many delicious and different options to satisfy any craving. I can't wait to return with family and friends.
They have a big dining area with fireplace. Big bar with seating area, perfect for entertainment and hosting a party. There's also a private room!
Wishing Happy Hen Cafe much success! Well deserved. Looking forward to visiting again soon.
First time ordering from here and while I did pick up I can say what a cozy and cute place!! Walking in it just feels comfy! I work for a 911 center and had 15 orders to pick up for myself and coworkers. The staff was so friendly, made sure I had all my orders, offered me coffee, and were just so pleasant to talk to. Everyone was talking about how good the food was. I ordered the apple cream cheese French toast, delicious! Multiple people were impressed at the fruit selection and that it was super fresh. Overall, myself and my coworkers were very satisfied and will definitely be returning!
Stopped by for breakfast on a Sunday. Seated promptly. Our order included eggs, pancakes, potatoes, toast and fruit. The food came out fast and was delicious. The fruit was nicely organized in a dish and the presentation was beautiful. Great friendly service and reasonable price for a good breakfast.
Amazingly fresh breakfast! I had the Benny's biscuits and gravy it was devine! My husband loved the steak skillet and for dessert we got the most fantastic vanilla ice cream with blueberries on a fantastic piece of banana bread that though we were absolutely stuffed we just wolfed it down! And talk about service with a smile!! Everyone was so friendly and just happy to have you there it was one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in a long time. Thank you for the wonderful service and food 💙
Pretty impressed with this suburban hideaway! Im from out of town, so I don't know how popular John & Tony's is (there were only three other customers on the Tuesday night I visited), but would say the quality vs. value is top of class and worth a visit! Menu and bar selection is small, but let's face it, you're going for a good steak and their aged NY Strip is a winner... Cooked perfectly and just buttery enough to pop. Fresh grilled veggies on the side we're delightfully rich, and both fries and salad above par.
