“Absolutely loved dining here, plus they had Modelo on tap! Our waitress I believe who had a name with an L (Sorry I can’t remember😓) was super nice and treated us very well and added to the cozy homelike atmosphere. That is to add, this place reminds me so much of my mother’s cooking and you absolutely can’t beat it. Their lunch buffet was superb, fresh and consistently replenishing hot, off-the-grill batches. I would recommend this to anyone, the value is insane for what you’re getting and the atmosphere was so incredibly comfortable. The only thing i’d like to add is they probably need better signage on the door you enter from in the parking lot, my girlfriend and I were unsure if that was the proper entrance, but rest assured it is. 11/10 from us!”
“Instagram got me with the ads!! Came in Monday for the buffet. 15.95 can’t go wrong, meat balls had good flavor and the onion rings were great. Wish I lived closer..”
“Saw them on insta and drove almost an hour... Best buffet I've had in a decade! Their pizza is amazing, soup, salad, pasta dishes, roasted chicken and pork... Everything was so good. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.”
“I haven't been here in years and my girl seen videos they make on Facebook so we went in and the food was so freaking good the waitress was awesome and the owner homemade food here i recommend to everyone. My girl ordered the Alfredo pasta and I ordered the veal parm.”
“Simply incredible! Lauren is fantastic. The broasted chicken is well worth the wait... it is delicious! This place is absolutely phenomenal. John is fantastic too. Please keep up the great work and I look forward to returning for great customer service and excellent food. I am a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines (25 years) and I will recommend this place to everyone that I encounter.”
“The Sunday Buffet is back ! Great food and great people! The owner Michael took care of us in a pinch i mean last minute! You have to check them out !”
“A great little Italian restaurant We’ve had plenty of birthday parties there”
“Everything I've had is so flavorful and tasty. What keeps me wanting to come back are the seafood pastas - I love the garlic wine sauce and clean the bowl every time. Never skimping on the proteins and tasting super fresh. Also cheaper than any restaurant for the portion size.”
“The older guy was so rude ok food enforced me to get a drink”
“I’ve been ordering from Vince’s Pizza for over six years, but tonight was the final straw. I placed a delivery order at 6:30 PM, knowing it was a busy night with the Bears game. I expected a longer wait and figured up to an hour and a half was reasonable. Instead, the order took over two hours to arrive, and every item was cold. The pizza, shrimp, Italian beef, and fries were all cold, not lukewarm. When I called to complain, I got the same guy who always answers the phone. He was rude, dismissive, and immediately defensive. I asked for a refund for the pizza and shrimp, which felt like the least they could do after a two-hour wait and cold food. He refused, blamed being backed up, and offered to send out another order, which made no sense after already waiting that long. He eventually agreed to refund only the pizza, even though all the food was cold, and then told me I was being unreasonable. When I said they were going to lose a customer of six years over this, he started swearing at me. Mistakes happen. Busy nights happen. Swearing at customers and refusing to take responsibility is unacceptable. The service here is disgusting, and they’ve lost a long-time customer because of it, largely due to the person answering the phones. There are plenty of better pizza places in Chicago that actually respect their customers.”
