Wooden Paddle Wooden Paddle brings wood-fired pizza, bold cocktails, and good-time energy to Lemont + La Grange. Pies arrive blistered from the oven.
(756)

Wooden Paddle is the Lemont and La Grange spot where wood-fired pizza, bold cocktails, and a room full of good-time energy come together. Guests call it the best date-night restaurant in the Chicago suburbs. Cocktails land with personality. The room feels alive without the big-city ego trip. Perfect for date nights, nights out with your people, and celebrations that deserve something fun without f

eeling formal. Two locations make it easy. Catering brings the same wood-fired craft home for parties, offices, and weekend gatherings. Book a table and see why locals keep this one quiet.

We have a winner. Christine Smith, this one's yours. Your dad ordering lamb on a cruise and telling the waiter it was "not baaaad" is the exact groan we were after. Brunch for two is on us. Please check your DMs.

To everyone who entered: thank you. We read every single one. Turns out your dads are a deeply unserious bunch, and we say that with love.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.ā¤ļø

Every dad has that one joke. The one he's told a hundred times, that still makes you groan, that he tells anyway because that's exactly the point.

This Father's Day, we're celebrating the worst of them. Comment your dad's best (worst) joke below. The worst one wins brunch for two, June 21, on us. Bring him along, he's earned it.

If you’ve ever loved a dish from us, do us a favor and vote for Chef Juan Alvarado.

Our Culinary Director is in the running for America’s Favorite Chef. If you’ve eaten with us, you already know his food. The Dino Short Rib everyone talks about, the Killa Calamari we somehow always run out of — that’s all him. The guy cooks with his whole heart, and it shows on every plate.

The winner takes home $25,000, a feature in Taste of Home, and a day cooking with Carla Hall. But for Juan it’s not really about the title. He’s got three little kids, and he’d put it toward their future and a trip to Mexico so they can see where their dad grew up. That’s the kind of guy we get to work with every day.

The first round of cuts is this Thursday, June 11 — so now’s the time.

Voting’s free, and you can do it every single day. Takes about ten seconds. It’d mean a lot to us — and to him ā¤ļø
