1. Kankakee County Barn Quilts
Driving through rural areas of Kankakee county, pastoral scenes will encompass even more beauty and art. 30 barns throughout Kankakee County have Quilts mounted on them. It's a gorgeous drive and treasure hunt rolled into one.
Be sure to click on…More »
2. Blue's Cafe
We drove south to photograph the Barn Quilts and decided to try this cafe because it promised good pie. They were wrong, they have SUPERB pie like you WISH your Mother had made. We had our pie with breakfast, that's how inviting it looked.…More »
3. Taltree Arboretum & Gardens
Do you like the idea of hiking but really just want to walk? Where it's safe and easy? Plus gorgeous surroundings? Where you could even hold a wedding?
Then Taltree is the place for you! Plus, it's way cheaper than Morton Arboretum and less…More »
4. Tequila Restaurante
Crown Point is a quaint town and near Taltree Arboretum; these facts have brought me to Tequila Si Cantina twice but it is delicioso enough to merit a trip on its own.
I love the spaciousness of the restaurant and the schmaltzy Mexican decorations,…More »
5. Wildfire
What makes a happy New Year's Eve for me?
A restaurant that honors your reservation, has a complete menu and gives you the same gracious service as any other day.
Wildfire did all of that plus had my favorite special on the menu. I love it when I feel…More »
6. Marilyn's Bakery
A sad moment just occurred in my life, the closing of Frankfort's Farmers' Market and with it, my weekly fix of pie from Marilyn's Bakery. They are kind, these people from Marilyn's, they will deliver a Thanksgiving dose of homemade goodness the day…More »
7. Maggiano's Little Italy
When a favorite restaurant starts to slip, it's sad.
I am mourning what Maggiano's used to be when an actual Lettuce Restaurant instead of just part of the frequent dining program in the Chicago area.
We have been coming here for years for a family get…More »
8. The Capital Grille
I am still swooning over the flawless lunch my husband and I just had at The Capital Grille, wow, what a fabulous experience. We were motivated to come here by the fabulous Yelp Event we attended here but this lunch was way beyond that impeccable…More »
9. Bergstein's NY Delicatessen
Oy vey! There is finally a decent deli in the Southern Suburbs.
This place filled a void in my heart that was created when Al's Deli in Homewood went out of business.
I went a little crazy when I ordered - 1/2 corned beef sandwhich, chicken motza ball…More »
10. Lock 16 Visitor Center
History + good food + fun people = An amazing good time
Last night we experienced something completely different and were charmed by this small town in the process. We attended the first in a lecture/dinner series at a terrific building. This night…More »
11. Egg Harbor Cafe
I have an unreasonable crush on this restaurant - I mean, it's just breakfast, right? How can I be so head over heels in love with it?
How - because it's just fabulous, that's why. The mini skillet combo and I are going steady now but I have dated…More »
12. Flat Top Stir-Fry Grill
Good: Fresh tasty food, lots of choices, laid back attentive waiter
Bad: Non alcoholic drinks are really just Shirley Temples
Ugly: The restaurant is filthy, the bathrooms, the glimpse of the kitchen and the floors are littered with paper, food,…More »
13. Niko's Breakfast Club
I have to confess to a dirty little breakfast secret, I am a closet lover of potato pancakes. Not just any potato pancakes either - they have to be the authentic made from grated till your knuckles bleed potatoes and then fried just right and serve…More »
14. Frame Masters Ltd
I absolutely love this place, the owners are artists and have such an eye for what will enhance whatever you are framing.
I have been coming here all my adult life, heck, this relationship outlasted my first marriage! I have had old photographs…More »
15. B.D.'s Mongolian Barbeque
Pretty good food, lots of flexibility and great service.
Is it a destination restaurant? No, but if you are at the Promenade and want something a bit healthier, give it a try.
I met a friend here today and they let us talk and talk plus recommended a…More »
16. Hog Wild
I am hog wild for Hog Wild and forever grateful to my daughter who recommended it to me. This little piggy had pork chops!
First off, this is just a straight up unique and quirky place. It's just great! We went for lunch on Friday and it was…More »
17. LaSalle Canal Boat
I love the dinner/lectures at the Lock 16 Visitor Center and every so often, it includes a trip on the canal in one of the boats.
You can also do a trip from one of these boats without attending the dinner lecture. I think that might be the way to…More »
18. Mago Grill & Cantina
Yesterday Mago really helped us get our Cinco on, olé!
Last year we drove around to packed Mexican restaurants everywhere without getting much satisfaction. I resolved to do better this year and oh muchacho, did we ever! I went on Open Table about a…More »
19. Tom's Family Restaurant
If I was going out to lunch with my friends would I choose this restaurant? No, we would want something snappier and trendier. Would I go there with work friends? No, we would want something more upscale.
But what about out to lunch with your 89…More »
20. Egg Harbor Cafe
I love Egg Harbor, even though I know it is a chain. However, there isn't one really close to my house because I live in the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago.
I can hear you gasping, south and west of the city? Here there be dragons, yes?
Why yes,…More »
21. Midlothian Country Club
I have never been a member of a swanky country club but I get to hang out at one because I have a friend who is. Yes, I am lucky!
Lunch here is a delight, served in a quiet elegant dining room with courteous care. I have had many different items off…More »

I am no where near being a Monk but I am sure cognizant that I was damn lucky to have eaten here! My sister is soclose to finishing the 30 best Sandwich list from the Chicago Tribune and this was her 26th stop on her quest.
Lucky indeed! I liked the…More »
23. The Vault Cafe & Bar
The Vault was a fun place to relax and talk on a recent Saturday afternoon. I used to meet people in Lemont about ten years ago so I wanted to check it out and see what was happening in this cool historic area. Unfortunately, not a lot is…More »
24. Tom Kelly's Chophouse and Pub
The plus to this place is that it is near the movie theater and gives a discount with your stub.
Otherwise it is pretty much an average bar - noisy with slightly better than average bar food. Convenient, yes. Mouth watering? Not really.
It's lively…More »
25. Gatto's Restaurant and Bar
We come here fairly regularly because my husband really likes the chicken francesa, he also loves it at the Tinley location.
I like it ok, I find the space a bit odd, sortof cavernous in some places and chopped strangely in others. The same could be…More »
26. Vie
I met two long time friends here for a relaxed dinner, I was anticipating just a marvelous night. I should have come here for the Yelp Eats event, I might have been more satisfied. I had such high expectations and it just didn't get near them.

27. JCPenney
Mokena, IL 60451

Categories:
Department Stores,
Baby Gear & Furniture,
Women's Clothing
My husband likes JC Penney more than I do so I come here every once in a while with him. I am glad we have one close to Frankfort. I have found some good bargains once in a while but not consistently.
I am not a regular customer but it's good to…More »
28. Mr. Benny's Steak And Lobster House
The owner has now written me harassing messages twice because of my earlier 3 star review of Jan. 7th 2011. He just told me that it is customers like me that make him dislike the restaurant business. He does not have to worry, I will never be his…More »
