    Delicious as always! Made a table reservation, but opted to sit at the bar with Jimmy. He took care of us! Great food! That steak burger was surprisingly great! Mushroom pasta was so so good! Leisurely pace, great people watching on a Saturday. It was lovely!

    farm bar is great. My only complaint is that they don’t have fountain soda. You get cans of Diet Coke if you order that. If they step up their game there, this place will be perfect.

    L. Woods is such a great place!! I go there quite often, and I try to get something different each time. I can honestly say that everything that I have ever ordered is really, really good!! Tonight I had fried fish--Walleye, to be exact, and it was incredibly tasty! I often get the Mahogany Chicken, because that is my favorite, but I do try to mix it up. Not only is the food excellent, but everyone is very friendly and accommodating if you have a special request. I travel from downtown Chicago to the suburbs because this restaurant is so wonderful! Also, I ordered some side dishes and desserts for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, and they could not have been better. It is just a simple down home darling place to get a great meal--the bar is always totally hopping, as well as every table being filled. So make sure to make a reservation or you may be disappointed! I cannot say enough great things about L. Woods--just a great meal at a very reasonable price!! Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises has done it again!
