Chicago - Lunch in Oak Park
 
I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for a nice place for Lunch in Oak Park. My wife and I will be there on Labor Day and will want to eat before taking a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home. We'd like something decent but not too fancy as we'll be in walking tourist mode. Any cuisine is fine as long as the food is tasty. Thanks in advance.

Try Poor Phil's (sister of Philander's, an Oak Park classic.) But, after the tour, you must go to Peterson's Ice Cream! You can get reviews and info on metromix.com

In late July, after visiting FLW's place in Oak Park, we had a delightful lunch at The Pasta Shoppe. Don't be put off by the spelling of "shop."

Also, try Mama Thai, Cucina Paradiso (Italian) and Papaspiros (Greek). Check out metromix.com, they have a section on dining with descriptions, reviews, etc.-- just search in Oak Park...
