Worst people ever
by hfperez1
I worked for these pair of pr!cks for 1 year, during which I saw their habits get worse and worse. By the end, they were openly doing coke in other people's homes during events! They cook in filthy conditions surrounded by vermin and over flowing kitty liter boxes. They paid us in cash (hello IRS) once a month, and at the end of november told 7 of us they could not pay us til december and asked us to work their xmas parties. Never paid us!!! 7 of us took them to Labor Dept. court where they never showed up. We won our suit, but got nothing. please email me for any questions/ info. I am forced to give them 1 star, but only bcuz I can't give them 0. Worst excuse for human beings ever.
- Pros: They hid their coke addiction as long as possible
- Cons: everthying

Dining extravaganza!!!!!!!!!
by dogwhisperer10
Recently we went to Prickley Pear for dinner and we were delightfully surprised!!! Dinner at the Prickley Pear is full of delicious culinary experiences. The food has never disappointed us - ever! Salads are spinach or mixed greens with an oil+vinegar dressing sprinkled with dried cranberries and walnuts or a refreshing citrus dressing . We have had a fresh fruit salad of oranges, grapefruit, mandarin oranges and fennel....um delicious! Their flat bread pizzas are unique and delicious. (Its worth it to go for pizza and salad and BYOB you can even sit outside) Amazing soups from spicy gazpacho to potatoe leek soup. Dinner purses made of huge leaves filled with polenta, topped with veggies, chicken/beef/fish+ on + on. All resulting in a magnificent dining experiences. Oh and you know those high priced wines you buy when dining - at Prickley Pear you BYOB and avoid those inflated prices. Call some friends who love to dine, buy some wines you enjoy drinking, make a reservation and go out to dinner to the Prickley Pear. You will not be disappointed. It feels like you are dining in someone's home or in the kitchen of a downtown eatery. One of the many differences is you will have enjoyed every bite of food, sip of wine, feel satisfied with the portions and no high priced parking fees! For the sweet tooth they have served freshly made chocolate chip cookies and strawberries dipped in chocolate!! Also, if you like authentic mexican cooking, on Thursday's they have a Mexican Buffet - superb. Just remember to call and see if they are taking reservations for dinner, or cater an event at your home or business. You will be absolutely satisfied and delighted! Hum.....I wonder what they are serving tonight......excuse me but I am going to give them a call!!! Thank you Prickley Pear for many memorable culinary delights! A true gathering place.
- Pros: Excellent food + Best Dining in Southwest Suburbs.....
- Cons: None

worst employer ever
by scarecrowoz
I read the reviews on working for these guys recently on this site and was hoping this wouldn't happen to me. Low and behold it did. Take my advice and don't ever work for these people. Roberto is very unproffesional and resorted to screaming and swearing at me over the telephone. They are disorganzided and do not pay their employees. It is amazing to me that they are still in business they way they treat people and can't get their stuff together. The party I did do for them they forgot a couple of the items and didn't have them sent till 10:00 at night. The food also had an odor to it. Again take my advice and DO NOT ever work for these degenerates. It will save u a lot of time and headaches staying away.
- Pros: There aren't any
- Cons: Do not know how to treat people, very unprofessional
