Frank's Backyard BBQ

Barbecue restaurant

👍 While visiting The Shrine of Christ's Passion, I came across Frank's Backyard BBQ. Upon arriving, it didn't initially look inviting. I am SO glad I decided to give it a go! The hospitality was warm and welcoming. The inside was, well, just as the name states, like a friend's "backyard BBQ"! I h...

Tried and tru eatery

New American restaurant

👍👍 Finally the food the Southside deserves! It’s foodie-level, instagrammable food but all the menu items are still familiar favorites (just done more creatively). This place is stellar. They have a real cook in the kitchen who knows what they are doing. I only wish the menu was a little smaller and l...

3 Little Pigs Chi

Chinese restaurant

👍👍 Order online or scan QR code in the Molly's cupcakes and they'll bring it out. Looks like a shared kitchen. The hot chicken sandwich was quite substantial and tasted excellent! The combo was good too but definitely go with the sandwich. Took a fried rice home and gave it to my Chinese mother in law....
