This is a great spot! Everything was great! They have creative pizza flavors and all of it looked so good. I really liked their seasonal one – it had a fig jam on top that was delightful. The interior gave this speak easy vibe and service was fantastic. Will definitely come back!

Upon entering the La Grange location, we were greeted with a warm smile from the lovely hostess, then the serene, elegant, and chic seating area with fireplace. Allen our server was delightful and professional. We will absolutely ask for his section when we return. The food was thoughtfully and expertly prepared. The basil pesto rigatoni with shrimp was delectable. Hail yes! Caesar salad we split was perfect. Sausage fest pizza airy and crispy, delicious. Cool vibe.

Always enjoy coming here! They have the most delicious food. I love that they are health focused and are a no seed oil restaurant. As someone who avoids inflammatory seed oils it’s rare to find a restaurant that’s dedicated to serving the community through truly healthy food options. Our server Nora, was kind and attentive during our visit, it was great!

This is a great place to spend an evening. Amazing food and the atmosphere is awesome. The best part of it all – Myke and AJ at the bar, probably two of the best bartenders in the Chicagoland area. You can’t beat what these two can do. We will Definitely be back again.

Wooden Paddle in La Grange is such a vibe! The food is amazing, great cocktail menu (delicious mocktails, too!) and great for food allergies. My friend who is gluten and dairy free says Wooden Paddle has the best gluten free pizza crust ever! Their house made cashew ricotta cheese is delicious! The aesthetic and decor is dark and moody and eclectic. You seriously can’t go wrong with anything on the menu – my faves are the duck ragu, buzzkill pizza, Brie bites and they have one of the best espresso martinis ever! It’s also wonderful they use no seeds oils! Highly recommend 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such a great experience at Wooden paddle for my niece’s birthday. Our server was Nora and she was so attentive and kind. She did not pressure us to order quickly and encouraged us to take our time, enjoy each other and the food. Ever dish we ordered was exceptional! From mozerella brick and whipped ricotta, to the pizzas, lasagna, pork shank, Brussels sprouts and chopped salads. We loved that the food would flow out of the kitchen so that we could chat and all enjoy each dish. Did I mention Nora was great with my 10 month old? I had a great experience at the Wooden paddle in Lemont and this location is closer to home, so we will definitely be back! Thank you for an awesome night!
