Mokena Restaurants

In a tourist town, it's easy to get caught up in the typical tourist districts. But the non-tourists know that sometimes the most electrifying flavors aren't found in the downtown hullabaloo of a big city but are in the quiet suburbs instead. Just South of Chicago, this is the case for Mokena. Seek out a classic Chicago-style hot dog (mustard, pickles, onions, celery salt-- the works) from a food truck minus the Chicago-style lines you'd normally wait in. Kitschy dives with relaxed, welcoming menus offer everything from Chinese to Italian fare, you'll also find Mexican food and winning margaritas here. If you happen to find yourself in the outskirts craving downtown ambiance, worry not because there is no shortage of pizza parlors here. One deep-dish pie, coming up!
