The Garlic Clove

okay, I liked this place and they closed. CRIPES!

Closed forever? Thanks a lot.

Sign on the window: The Garlic Clove is closed… out of business!

Out and about on a random weekend afternoon and looking to catch a late lunch. This place popped up on the handy Unilocal app so off we went. They were doing construction in front to it was a bit loud but they offered to seat us towards the back so that was nice. It was fairly empty so we figured we would get plenty of attention, this was not the case.
I know we shouldn’t be in a hurry with everything but I’d like to decide whether or not I want to have a slow casual lunch and not be forced into having one. Everyone was nice, service was just painfully slow so keep this in mind if you’re thinking of stopping in for a quick bite before catching the metra (located a few steps away).
The food was pretty good, I had the buffalo chicken wrap and it didn’t disappoint, it was exactly what the menu promised, nothing more and nothing less. I’d probably return if i’m in the mood to just take it easy and spend a couple of hours in the place.

Just ordered pick-​up from the Garlic Clove for Sunday breakfast. It was very good; especially the stuffed turtle pumpkin french toast. They should serve that year-​round! Also, it was nice to be able to purchase food for 3 people for under $ 23. Very good value.

I went there for the 1^st time two weeks ago. I took my siblings there on Saturday night and then returned Sunday morning for breakfast. Staff — very friendly and welcoming. Our food was pretty good both times. However, the scrambled eggs — not so good. They tasted somewhat bland. However, I would still go back and give it another shot. Much better service than when it was Sky Line Café.

Wow, what a disappointment. I should have known when I walked in and only 2 tables were occupied. We arrived at 6:00PM our food arrived 50 minutes after we ordered. The food was disappointing. My son couldn’t finish his burger due to grease. Garlic mashed potatoes were cold, chops were tough. We were there for over an hour and only one other table came in and they appeared to know the staff. The word appears to be out.

Really nice people working there, food was good, onion rings rocked. I had pasta, very good, my friend had flat iron steak and garlic mashed potatoes. We shared and both were great. Prices not bad either.

Ate there for the first time today and really enjoyed it. Good service with very nice people. Fried chicken was delicious and wife’s meatloaf was very good too. We will definately go back.

I went here because of the great reviews, and was unpleasantly surprised at how blah this place was. We headed to the Garlic Clove for lunch on a weekday afternoon. Not only was it empty, the décor was of a run-​down 70s diner. Our food was so-​so — fine and edible, but nothing I’d go back for. On an up-​note, the service was fine and friendly. Are we all talking about the same place here?

I’m so glad we decided to try this place for a lazy Sunday brunch. The food was fantastic and everyone was very friendly. I had the veggie skillet which comes atop potatoes that were seasoned perfectly. It was a generous serving and what I couldn’t finish my boyfriend happily did. He ordered the House Crepes that were to die for! They were smothered in a white wine and feta cheese sauce that was like nothing I ever tasted before. We devoured our food before I had the idea to take a picture of it to post but I will definitely be returning so I will have plenty of pics to post soon. Everything on the menu sounded so great I wanted to try it all, so needless to say this is now our new sunday brunch place. If you live in the area you must try it out, you will not be disappointed!

We suggest everyone try the Garlic Clove for a fresh, tasty & new twist on casual dining. The food is very reasonably priced & the staff is great. You won’t be disappointed!

The food here is fantastic! We went late-​ish on a Friday (after 9pm) and were seated and served immediately. It was hard to decide what to order from their extensive menu, but we were starving, so I ordered the first thing to catch my eye.. . Fried green tomatoes. Yes, as an entrée. So light and crispy and delicious and served with a homemade dill cream sauce (w/​fresh dill). Side order of roasted baby red potatoes and a dinner salad and I was more than set. I’m pretty sure the salad dressing was also homemade and really fresh tasting. The hubby got a steak which he devoured with lip smacking fervor. Yeah. We’ll be back.

This is a new gem in the Berwyn Depot District. It took the space of the old Skyline Café, and we’re happy it did!
My husband insisted on our first visit yesterday for a late lunch. I got the yummy steak/​bagel sandwich with their garlicky and onion-​ey hash brown patty on it. Totally delicious! He got the signature Windsor burger topped with spinach, artichoke, cheese, roasted red peppers and onions. OMG! He ordered it med-​rare and the pretzel bun soaked up all that lovely meat juice. I also got a bowl of French Onion soup and it didn’t disappoint. Flavor without the salt overload.
We went for breakfast today and can’t wait to go back for dinner this week. I encourage anyone in the area to try this place out.
They don’t have outdoor seating yet, but will in time for summer.

Great addition to The Depot District. The food is very good (I can’t get enough of their gumbo) and the owners and staff are extremely friendly. I’ve had 2 lunches and a breakfast in the last 4 days and am looking forward to trying more of their fare.
