Restaurants in Bridgeview IL
Our much-loved school athletic trainer is leaving us to work for the MLS Chicago Fire. We'll miss him but are very happy for him and would like to get him a gift certificate at a restaurant. I can always buy one for Outback but thought it would be nice to be able to get find a local restaurant that he might enjoy. He is a young single guy so someplace fun would be good. Thanks.

One of my very favorite restaurants is The Patio in Bridgeview. Everything there is great!

Try Leona's.

The Oak Lawn location is next to Bridgeview.
American/Italian, huge menu, huge portions, festive atmosphere. The Patio is ok, but overrated. It's a bit pricey and while the food is good, it's nothing too special. It's basically a glorified burger place.

Also, I must respectfully disagree with flamingo. The Patio is consisting named as having some of the best ribs in the Chicago area. They've been in business more than 25 years, so must be doing something right!

"Grotto on State" on Chicago's near North side might work for both the steak and "young guy fun" factors. It would be about a 20-30 minute drive for him, but well worth it. As a young single guy living near Chicago he's going to want to get to know the Near North/Rush St. area. Its popular with the under 35 single crowd. Its a good place to get to know his adopted town.
Best wighes to him. Tracee

He does NOT want to drive to the near north side. Traffic and parking is impossible, parking is expensive and having to hop in a car right away when the evening is done will cut way down on his drinking. Head over to Midway, and the CTA Orange Line (EL) at 59th and Cicero. $2 to park and $2 to ride the train each way (begining in Jan.) Transfer to a Red Line train towards Howard for free at Roosevelt, this one is in the Subway. The red line will take him to all the trendy neighborhoods on the north side, from River North to Rogers Park. If he's out after the Orange Line shuts down (about 1 am or so) the Archer Ave. bus runs all night to the Midway Station from State and Washington. He can also take a southbound Red Line train (towards 95th) to go see the Sox. As a future southsider, hopefully he knows which team to support.
