It really is a shame that a once Tinley Park landmark restaurant has gone so far down hill! We have not been to Bogart's in a few months and we were very surprised on our visit a few weeks ago. When we walked in we noticed an unpleasant smell like mold or sewer and it seemed in general very dingy. The food was mediocre at best. I can get a steak that's just as good or better at just about any other restaurant in Tinley and for cheaper. The service was slow and not very friendly. I read the review about a costumers encounter with that Kathy lady and the management had changed (that may explain things). We did not have an encounter with her but, some other customers did. We couldn't hear all the details but, it seemed like quite an argument about their food. After the encounter she proceeded to storm around the restaurant giving bad looks and snapping at people. It seems to me having an attitude like that in the service industry will put you out of business in no time. In general just an unpleasant experience. Even if they were the only game in town we would not go there again. It really is a shame but, I don't see them lasting much longer. I remember when you had to wait 2+ hours to get a seat on a week night! We went on a Friday night and there were only a couple tables filled in the dining room and bar area. I guess Bogart's hay days are over. Oh well I guess things have to change sooner or later. Good luck!!!!!!!
