Merichka's - Crest Hill

The food is consistently excellent; you can always expect the same quality. I usually opt for takeout, and it’s always ready at the time they promise, which is a great plus.

A true classic among classics, but perhaps it's time to call it quits. The food feels worn out, the service lacking energy, and the overall atmosphere feels tired. I do appreciate the relish tray, which is a staple of a bygone era...

The food was enjoyable overall. My wife ordered the Fried Chicken, while I had the Cod, which was a bit on the dry side. My friends both tried the po'boys; they liked them but mentioned they had a slightly overpowering garlic flavor. The service, however, was excellent.
