Xando Cafe

Ate outside. Under the shade. Big group of 10 people was served on time. If you want a nice juicy flavorful burger, go with the Laredo! Parking on a Sunday afternoon is good. Would recommend to anyone to eat here. They have plenty of room for people. Fries and cole slaw portions could be bigger. But thats the big boy tummy talking. Will be back soon :)

Really cute hidden treasure in hickory hills. Always come here after class (close to mvcc). Food is always really great, coffee, and sweets! You get a European vibe from the café, they play more up beat music, and have more Mediterranean cuisine. Highly recommend

Came here for dinner, overall the place was good. Burger was satisfactory, nothing special but worth the $ 9. I got a xando cappuccino that tasted good but was luke warm. I like my cappuccino hot not luke warm. Customer service was good even though they messed up my burger. This place is definitely a 3 star location not great but not bad either.

I work right down the street from Xando’s and consequently have been here at least 25 times. I think if it had been a one-​time trip they would get 3.5/4* but it’s the kind of place that really grows on you and becomes a comforting regular spot.
In the winter I constantly crave the avgolemeno (egg lemon) soup, it’s the best! The salads are massive and wonderful– the Greek salad and Greek tomato are my favorites. The chicken panini is also a go-​to, although sometime they can be pretty heavy handed with the pesto mayo.
The only downside can be a bit of a wait for your food– I heard everything is made-​to-​order, so I personally believe it’s worth it! If you’re with a big group you’ll have a wait, but 1 – 2 people is usually very quick.

Food was very good. Got the chicken slovaki (something like that). Delicious. Popcorn shrimp was just ok — normal popcorn shrimp. Good service as well!

This place is perfect. Have been going here for as long as I can remember and the food is always fresh, always delicious. Polite workers and excellent location. Highly recommend their chicken fingers and brownie a’la mode. A little bit of heaven on Earth!

These guys have a great selection of drinks and food! It’s not really in my neck of the woods but it’s worth visiting if you’re in the area! I love their cappuccino and whatever cake I had was great! I haven’t had their savory food recently so I can’t judge that.
The service was super quick! Something I usually cannot say for places similar to this one.

Great environment and delicious, fairly priced food! Lemon chicken soup is out of this world. Great place to grab lunch or for a late night snack.

For their coffee alone they deserve a high rating but this place has so much more than excellent coffee. The place is very Eurocentric and that gives it a cool vibe. The staff are super friendly and competent. I ordered a bowl of soup and a Greek salad. The soup came out and it was like this lemony creamy chicken broth and the bowl was huge. Really a big bowl like that would have been enough for me. It was so delicious. Then, the Greek Salad came out. I am very particular about my Greek salads and this one was just perfect. Black olives check, red onion check, feta cheese, romaine lettuce check, pepperoncinis yep 5 of them check, and good lord they put anchovies in there too like they are supposed to do !! So many places don’t put anchovies in and it makes me so mad that they still call it a Greek Salad without its best ingredient. Anyways this was such a nice meal and my waitress was perfect. She never told me her name which was a breath of fresh air. I don’t want to know my servers name. I am not inviting her to the bar mitzvah and she is not inviting me to her wedding. We don’t need to be on a first name basis. I just want good service and that she provided. I am eager to make it back here some night for some of their drink specials. I see Moscow Mules on the menu and I also see Svytury Bier advertised so I will need to make a pit stop here again soon. If you haven’t been here yet, stop what you are doing and enjoy the best food Hickory Hills has to offer.

This place has great food along and a great atmosphere for hanging out with a huge screen for any game day. I had the shrimp and crab-​meat salad, which was a perfect portion and super fresh. The service was polite, fast and suggestions made on what to order, which I always enjoy. When in Hickory Hills next month I will stop by to try another dish.

I love the food (Greek salad, feta fries *highly recommended btw* and their wraps) and the owner has been nothing but polite every time I have gone there. If you’re looking for a caffeine boost, try their Greek frappé.

Had the best time here this afternoon. I must say that the morning staff is on their game. Between Aga and Danielle I wanted not nor waited for that matter. And when noon hit I was pleasantly surprised by the stellar Cadillac Margarita!.. worth the drive from Chicago. Will be back!!!

Tonight I had the misfortune to meet the owner of Xandos. If I knew this was the man behind this place I would never have been a regular here and spent a penny at this place. Rudest owner I’ve ever met. He needs to learn ethical manners and know how to treat customers. The waitress was sweet so is the hardworking bus boy. But after waiting more than «40» minutes as he claims for our chicken tenders meals and a hamburger I asked for the manager because that is just not right letting customers wait for that long for their meals. He «apologized» angrily and accused me of being «loud». I wasn’t loud but I was shocked at how he spoke to me. I’ve never ever been in that position before and hope no one would ever be treated as I had tonight. But then again he did the same thing to my daughter less than a month ago. Please drive away and DONT stop here. We are only making a rude angry man richer who thinks he’s above his customers. I’ve been coming here for the past 7 years, brought family and friends from out of town here not to have been spoken down to by the owner. I’m done with this place.

This place is pretty decent. Good food and nice servers. I can only vouch for the sandwiches, paninis, and feta fries which are delicious. Outdoor seating needs to be updated. Nothing too special about it. All of the menu items are random and don’t really have a theme or connection.

Was here once and would not recommend this place at all. Poor service and bad food…

Place is great, food is greater. I just think Nike leggings as the waitresses’ dress code is unprofessional. People want to focus on their food and their friends they’re hanging out with, not butts sticking out.

We’ve been here a few times in 2014 and have to revise our review… We finally experienced what other patrons meant by «bad service.»
These waitresses aren’t European, so I apologize, it isn’t and wasn’t a «cultural thing» — the service is bad. The waitresses (along with other staff) huddle-​up by the end of the bar and talk, and gossip. some staff are not very attentive or courteous.
On the plus side: the burgers are great — and worth a try. The coffee and salads are still bad.

Their food, services are very good! I usually go there at list twice a week! It’s worth it the try! I

I used to love this place, LOVE! However my recent visits have left a lot to be desired. I have been frequenting this establishment for the better part of 8 years and it seems like things have just been going down hill. My favorite part was always the food, huge portions great prices and above all delicious combination of flavor. Many recipes seem to have changed, and not for the better, the Caesar salad now comes with a vinegarete type dressing not the usual creamy dressing and the roast painini sandwich used to have a pesto mayo sauce that was just devine, that seems to be missing now, I do have to admit though that the feta fries have remained the same delicious side dish I remember.
Moving on to wait staff. I have been here during the day, afternoon, evening, weekend, weekday and the wait times for food and beverage have been growing. Everything seems to be moving slow at this place, whether busy or not. Wait staff does not check on us, take too long to bring refills if they are brought at all, and you have to wave someone down constantly. My last two visits (include tonight 1÷9÷15) I watched my food getting cold on the bar while our server was talking to someone or was just not paying attention. I want to give people the benefit of the doubt but if my table b is one of three in the entire place I cannot understand the little attention the patrons are paid.
The atmosphere I still enjoy which is probably why I come back, that and the large mugs of coffee, oh and the wonderful patio outside in the spring but my food selection going forward will be coming from somewhere else.. . Unfortunately

Nice place to eat with friends.
I enjoy the drinks, the coffee drinks are good!
