Make Mother’s Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations Now In Oak Forest

OAK FOREST, IL — Everything Mom has done over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic should add up to an extra-special 2021 Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 9. To start her the day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite Oak Forest brunch spot?

Many restaurants and eateries are still limiting seating, so making a reservation early is especially important this year. And if you’re still undecided about going to a sit-down restaurant, curbside pickup or delivery is an option in many places.

Some hometown restaurants around Oak Forest that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

Buca di Beppo — Located at 15350 S. 94th Ave.

Texas de Brazil — Located at 856 Orland Square Drive

Wu's House — Located at 16310 S La Grange Road.

Siam Marina — Located at 16846 Oak Park Ave.

Primal Cut Steakhouse — Located at 17344 Oak Park Ave.

The Odyssey — 19110 Ridgeland Ave.

But again, call ahead for reservations; some of your local favorites may be closed on Mother’s Day so the moms who work there can have a day off with their families.

Many restaurants offer prix fixe menus, signature cocktails, decadent desserts and five-star service.
