Best hidden Restaurants in the burbs
I have posted a main thread in the Chicago city section, but I would love to have the burb people speak out too.
Pizza places (including mostly delivery only places),hot dog stands, and diners all can be included here. I want this thread to only include places located in the burbs only.
I am not looking for large chains or tourist spots,no matter how good they are. Think Gene & Jude's,Hala Kahiki,Russell's,Photo's,Pita Inn,Boobies, etc...
If the place has a couple locations and is not part of some huge corporation, that can be acceptable on this list. I am talking about places that are not well known outside of the area.
When you post please, if possible, include the address and town of the place so people can go check them out. If possible, please post a short review also! I want people to discover these hidden jems of pure ectasy!

Meson Sabika
Meson Sabika is located on Aurora Ave in Naperville. It is a spanish tapas restaurant, and has been a favorite of mine since it opened its doors originally back in 1990. It is housed in the old Willoway Mansion that was built in the 1800's. The many rooms of the mansion make up the various dining rooms.
The food is wonderful and diverse. Hot and cold tapas (smaller appetizer portions), paella, wonderful sangria. Everything is delicious.
Weather permitting there is an outdoor patio. On a beautiful day there's nothing better than sitting on the patio under 100 year old oak trees, sipping sangria and sampling tapas. Positively heaven.
