5 La Grange Businesses Nominated By Readers As City's Best

LA GRANGE, IL — It's been a tough year for many businesses in La Grange, especially restaurants, which have been subject to the governor's shutdown orders.

Despite the challenges, the businesses have found new ways to offer their services.

For the last few weeks, La Grange Patch asked its readers to nominate Local Businesses of the Year.

Here is a list of businesses nominated, some of which received more than one recommendation:

• Fair Muffler: "Amazing customer service."
• Marco's Kitchen: "He opened his restaurant at the beginning of the first shutdown and to help people he made fresh bags of vegetables and fruits with homemade bread for $10 curbside. And he makes special curbside dinner and events. I love this place. This chef could do anything you ask."
• Now Serving Café & Catering: "They worked for over 26 hours straight to complete their many Thanksgiving orders! Also, their charitable contributions to the Chicago Food Depository are exceptionally generous."
• Palmer Place: "Even though his restaurant has been losing money, Steve Palmer has donated a substantial number of meals and food to the homeless agency, BEDS Plus. He volunteers for many civic leadership activities such as the Mental Health Commission. He sponsors local fundraisers for our nonprofit agencies, and is a community leader."
• Steak+Vine: "Staff has always been friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and accommodating. Owner always stops by the table to say hello. Oh, and the food is exceptional and creative."
