About the restaurant

Welcome to Mother's Apron (“eomma-ui apchima” in Korean), where the spirit of maternal cooking thrives. In many cultures, mothers pass down cherished recipes, embodying traditions and flavors that nurture familial heritage. In Korean culture, "hand taste" (“sonmat”) captures the unique touch that comes from a cook’s skill and love.

With this in mind, the partners of Mother's Apron aim to deliver an exceptional Korean culinary experience that evokes the warmth of mom's cooking.

With over 30 years in the restaurant industry, we proudly introduce ourselves as pioneers of Korean BBQ in the greater Chicagoland area, led by our esteemed founder, a local icon known as the godmother of Korean cuisine. Our journey redefines Korean dining through authentic flavors and unmatched hospitality. Join us to savor our signature dishes and discover why we are celebrated as a culinary legacy.

This was a perfect place for a date. My wife and I get a weekend night a month and this place was perfect for us. The vibe was welcoming and modern, the service was impeccable. "Joy" was our server. She guided us through our first visit with care and enthusiasm. We/she cooked our dinner at the table... And what a cool experience! The meat provided was top quality and the sides matched perfectly! We loved the meal and experience. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful date night!

About the restaurant

When you walk through the front door of Johnny’s Kitchen and Tap, you inhale the delicious aroma of chicken cooking in a wood-roasting rotisserie oven. Cozy, casual, and nicely outfitted, Johnny’s in business since 1995, has a large bar that separates two dining rooms and offers something for everyone. We have a party room that accommodates up to 70 people.

Johnny’s is well known for their wood-roasted chicken, rotisserie-roasted pork, baby back ribs and real mashed potatoes. The menu also features steak and chops, fresh fish, pastas, salads and sandwiches. Specials are offered daily and include such favorites as charbroiled fresh fish, Chicken al Forno and Shrimp Fontinella. Johnny’s spacious bar offers a full wine list, a wide selection of beers on tap and an extensive martini list. Don’t forget to save room for dessert-the fresh baked Apple Pie with French vanilla ice cream and caramel is a favorite!

Pinstripes is a unique venue. The Bocci courts and bowling lanes are a fun diversion, and round out a wonderful evening entertainment. The food service relies on a team approach, which can lack focus on diner's needs. For the most party, the staff is young and attentive, knows the menu and is helpful in explaining the menu, knowledgeable about the items being offered. Weather permitting, the outside dining area is delightful, and much quieter. We've enjoyed the restaurant individually, with our grandchildren, for special events and group dining with old friends, and will continue to include Pinstripes in our plans.
