    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!

    Hi! My coworker and I went to celebrate an early birthday and we had such a good time! 10/10 experience, the food was great and just want to shout out our server Ms. Bryanna because she really went above and beyond for us! Refilled our waters before we even noticed we needed more, gave great recommendations on the food, and surprised us with a some birthday truffles and a candle. Thanks Coopers! Will recommend to friends and family :)
