Jessie's Country Kitchen 1307 Hamilton Avenue, University Park, IL 60484

"We hit Jesse's up on the way south for Thanksgiving. If I lived around the area, I would come in for the food and just to watch the personalities that come through. It's like being in a comfy sitcom, and it's all entertaining. The food is great, my cheeseburger was cooked perfectly, the bun was toasted nicely, and the veggies were freshly cut, as are the fries, which also were fantastic. Jesse herself was a riot, telling my kids "Get your drinks from the fridge, it's just like at home!" One of them said that she reminded them of the "bar owner that shows up with a shotgun to save the day in a horror movie." If you're headed north or south on 57, skip the franchises and get your dinner here!"

"We has a very good time on our lunch visit. The food was really good, and the customer service was excellent. The place has lots of decor and was clean on my visit. Lots of parking and easy to find. The French fries we super good, as well as our hotdogs and Ruben. I'll be going back if we are ever in the area. Nice job Jessie!"

"Never been here before. The food is great and super fast ! Got the Italian Beef sandwich with homemade fries. She made the fries out if a fresh potatoe.Good portion and very reasonable. Look forward to coming back."

"Best restaurant in Monee. The food is as delicious as it is authentic. Known for their Chicago Style hot dogs (and well deserved); but the fries are truly outstanding and shouldn't be missed. I also tried the gyro and I'm going to have a hard time choosing the next time I'm in there. Its nice to see the care and effort thats put into the dishes, and it's reflected with truly great food and a loyal fan base. Great local business,,,, my compliments to the chef."
