The Santoro Family has been in the food service industry since 1988. We renovated AND re-branded almost one year ago in May of 2023. We created a NEW CONCEPT we call MODERN CASUAL CHIC...The new name is Frankie's Since 1988 as an ode to our original restaurant on the Southside of Chicago. No longer a fine dining white tablecloth restaurant. Our new vibe is energetic music, vibrant craft cocktails homemade pastas, authentic Southern Italian style pizzas (from our new Marra Forni oven) and most popular dishes, such as Ciambotta (sausage & peppers), meatballs, Alaskan wild king salmon, Chicken "limone" with a lemon butter & capers sauce amongst others. Our updated menu is a combination of old classics from the past 15 years in Tinley Park and new items with the same wonderful service guests have come to know and love from Frankie's.

We love Cooper Hawk in New Lenox. Our server was so personable - food wait was a bit longer then normal but we were offered a free dessert for the longer then normal wait time, which shows the staff cares and are aware when there is an issue.

It is an old school steakhouse with a modern twist. Starting with a great cocktail & wine selection and ending with delicious desserts. The Reserve has high quality steaks prepared exactly to your liking, excellent shared sides. Yes, it’s a casino steakhouse, but it is by far, my favorite. You can never go wrong here.
