Kraby J's 26250 West Heart O Lakes Boulevard, Antioch, IL 60002

"New owners! The place looks good! We had the pizza, which was pretty good. The pepperoni was very different as it was a smaller diameter but thick cut. I really liked it. The sauce was very good, thick sauce. Loved it! We ordered extra sauce, which we do everywhere. It is not needed here. It was the sauciest thin crust pizza we ever had. Kyle (one of the partners) said the pizzas are always cooked well done, but it was not. The crust was, but the top wasn't. Next time, I will not get extra sauce and see if that makes a difference. Overall, it was a very good pizza. The chicken dumpling soup was also very good. I'm looking forward to trying it again."

"We just stopped in for lunch today. It was fabulous. Their pizza is exceptional. We also had a big bowl of coleslaw, which was some of the best I’ve ever had. Finally we had a bowl of chili all homemade all fresh made when we ordered it don’t forget to have the bourbon peach cocktail, I know it sounds a bit weird, but it is unbelievable. This place is a winner will be regulars for sure. By the way, it’s new owners"

"Had dinner tonight at Kraby J’s with my husband and kids. Such a great atmosphere and kid friendly too! There are board games available to keep my kids entertained. We had the prime rib sandwich and fried chicken sandwich. The prime rib sandwich was so fresh and delicious! The chicken sandwich reminded me of chicken sandwiches in Nashville. And this drink is a MUST HAVE. It is a Peach Bourbon drink and probably the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely be going back! Thanks for the great food and friendly staff Kraby J’s!!"

"New ownership/management took over 12/1/23. Food is amazing!! My husband and I tried a couple different options. Pizza is classic Chicago tavern and it was cooked PERFECTLY. Nice crispy cracker caramelized cheese crust! Cobb salad was delicious. It had thick pieces of bacon that literally melted in my mouth. Nice variety of drink options on the menu. I got the peach bourbon and I HIGHLY recommend it. It was soo smooth. The inside is super cozy and cute. Sitting next to the fireplace on a rainy day was the best! Huge outdoor space and tons of boat slips for the summer! Cant wait to come back!!!"

"We just dined at Kraby J's since the new owners turned over early November 2023. The last time we visited the restaurant was teal full of ocean type decor. When we visited today, the owners finally understand the area, it was a retro cabin like feel. I felt cozy dining there as I should with a lake side Restaurant. One of the owners, Kyle, greeted us and introduced himself to us as we came in. Let me start with the food--WOW. We have dined around the area and I can say the food was the best food we have had. We ordered a pizza for us and the kids--it was thin and crispy with a caramelized cheese crust- to add they were not light on the toppings. I ordered a Cobb salad that had real thick cut bacon and grilled chicken, it was enough to fill me and will be my go-to salad. My husband got a spicy chicken sandwich that was stacked high and a wonderful presentation with the knife. It's nice to finally have good food in the area! My husband got the peach bourbon drink and I had a Paloma and they were fantastic--finally drinks you want with dinner! We came with our two toddlers (1.5 and 3.5) for an early dinner-- which we always prepare ourselves for battle. And the waitstaff and owners were fantastic. They even had games for our kids once the kids were no longer interested in the toys we brought. The chef, and co-owner, even came out of the kitchen to thank us for coming and it was wonderful to be able to compliment him on his food. I can honestly say I don't think there is a restaurant as good as this. We can't wait to come back next weekend"
