About the restaurant

Schnitzel Platz in Glendale Heights is perhaps one of the most lively and entertaining eateries throughout the area and is known for hosting many events and is special enough to help ring in the holidays. In fact, Schnitzel Platz will often feature a special menu that has items only available throughout select times of the year like Oktoberfest. There are, of course, plenty of consistent favorites you will find too.

Some consistent menu items include the Kaiser in the neighborhood, Deutsche Haus platte, schweine braten and the sauerbraten. Make sure you also try the many schnitzels, of course, like the pork schnitzel, weiner schnitzel or the jager schnitzel. Schnitzel Platz also offers a kid’s menu that makes this restaurant a family-friendly place to go. and don't forget to come in and enjoy some authentic German polka music on weekends and our great selections of German bier imported from Germany!

Paisans Pizza - Lisle

Lisle

About the restaurant

Paisans is an Italian word for friends, but to us, it also means family. Family has always been at the center of Paisans’ beginning and the driving force behind its success. Paisans Pizza was started by Luigi, an immigrant to the United States, in 1985. In a small corner store in Cicero, Illinois, Luigi started making pizzas out of a household kitchen oven. Shortly after, Luigi was joined by his son Pete, fulfilling orders one at a time using hand-written tickets hanging from clothespins in their tiny kitchen.

Pete spent the next 30 years expanding the business, while also refining the Paisans brand and menu. He did this while always remembering what got us here: our famous pizza and award-winning wings.

Staying true to the idea of family, Pete brought in his boys to help him take the Paisans concept to the next level. Mentoring his sons in their new roles, Pete involves them in every aspect of the restaurant business.

Had a birthday party with 18 people July 3, 2025 and it was an excellent experience. We were set up in a private room and our server was outstanding (I wish I had written down her name 🥲). She helped us order family style entrees in just the right variety and quantity. Food was delicious. No one had to wait for a drink - our server was always there to take an order. What a perfect evening!

At Warren’s Ale House, you will find elegant New American dining options along with a carefully selected list of specialty and craft beers. Warren’s Ale House is the quintessential gastropub experience where you can come in after work with some friends and enjoy some pints and small plates, or sit down with family or celebrate that special occasion with a full meal from its extensive menu of classic bar favorites served with a twist.

Starters like bavarian pretzels are a perfect way to start the night and complement one of Warren’s Ale House brews. Salads, sandwiches, tacos and mains straddle the line between comfort food and elegant dining.
