“This shopping center has a lot going for it overall, but there are a few things worth noting. The layout is convenient, and one of the biggest positives is the ample parking. Even during busier hours, it’s easy to find a spot, which immediately makes the experience less stressful. There are several pretty decent restaurants on-site, making it a good place to run errands and grab a meal in one trip. Plus grocery shopping across the street.
That said, there was a noticeable issue last night that shouldn’t be overlooked. The walkways and parking areas weren’t salted, which is a real safety concern, especially during colder weather. This is something the property management really needs to stay on top of. Proper salting isn’t just a convenience—it’s a basic responsibility to ensure people can safely get in and out of the shopping center without worrying about slipping.
Despite that concern, the shopping center itself is well laid out and easy to navigate, with enough variety to make it worth visiting. If management can be more proactive about winter maintenance, particularly salting during icy conditions, this would be a much more consistently positive experience. As it stands, it’s a good shopping center with strong potential, just in need of better attention to safety during winter weather.”
“Nice and safe Suburban strip mall with Marshall's, TJMaxx, Famous Footwear. It's a bit off the beaten track making it kinda hidden, but definitely worth a stop.”
“It feels like this shopping center has been here forever. We visited Daiso and popped into the Whole Foods at the other end of the mall. The parking lot was clean and there is a ton of parking, even if you visit on a busy weekend afternoon. There is easy access to both RT 83 and 63rd St including traffic lights to make left turns easier. The parking lot itself is well lit if you visit when its dark outside.
It can get busy around the Whole Foods. There are a lot of cars and people moving around so drive carefully.”
“I went in to this shop at the last hour in the business day. I was in desperate need of getting a few tshirts done for my daughter's college graduation before getting on the road to head down south. Bro took my order for 6 shirts and would not let me leave. He was dedicated to making it happen. He even called in more staff. I'm a super grateful. I will DEFINITELY be coming back in to do more business. Thank you for making our big day special.”
“I love this location for its convenience. Right off of the expressways and shopping for everyone. Always kept very clean and security is top notch. I strongly recommend that you visit I give it five stars.”
“In just a couple of blocks radius. There are several restaurants, including 'Omaha Steaks', Dave & Busters, AMC movies and Asian cuisine. Plenty of (free) parking also. Just (west) of the Hwy.”
“King Spa is an absolute game changer!!!! Go in and spend hours in the dry and wet saunas, it will change your life!!!! Just be prepared to have to be naked in the locker room and wet spa areas.”
“A place full of energy and enthusiasm. The streets are lined with colorful shops and diverse dining options, and festive street events are held from time to time. It’s a destination rich in charm and vibrant spirit.”
“Taco Tuesday, clean, Juice bar, fresh meat yup a great store, great experience. I really enjoyed the young lady who serves Taco's on Tuesday, a classy gal. Friendly and she remembers me always when I come in. 2 Taco Bowls!!!”

“Went to Tiffany's for jewelry cleaning and repair. Then Warby Parker to have glasses adjusted. It was very brisk out. Not crowded. The parking lot was packed.”
“It's an office building complex with weekday amenities, such as a coffeeshop/cafe and a carwash business in the parking lot building. It's open on weekends for our business, but restaurants and other shops aren't. There's a building fitness center. Tenants can use the parking lot if flying out frim O'Hara airport.”
“Love Caputo's. Been shopping here for years. Great deli with amazing selection of meats and cheeses domestic and imported. Do yourself a favor and use the kiosk! Produce galore with incredible prices. If you are cooking anything erhni and need a specific item, they have it.”
“I didn't visit this place,I just drove by it. But I do love the retro look of the building. The theater was recently sold. I hope they keep the building the same! Maybe just clean it up a little ?”
“I only went to pick up my pizza from Domino's, but it turns out there is a coffee shop, dining area, a park, and small ponds or lakes in the surrounding area. I enjoyed the pizza, it was delicious! Keep it up, Domino's pizza!”
“We were here to go to the Xfinity store. Greeter meets you at door and takes your name. Plenty of seating for use. Always busy. Call and make an appointment for a specific time. It is worth it if your time is valuable because you will be called to see an employee way before those who don't have a specific time. Great employees have you on your way in no time.”
“Hands-down, the best fresh market of fruits and vegetables and meats in our local neighborhood. Caputo's is an amazing and convenient for all shoppers for everything that you may need.”
“Been here for Peckens TV repair. My family has used their services a few times now and they seem to do good work for fair prices. The store in a mess, but it’s hard to find good repair people.”
“My visit to the Shops at Oak Brook was delightful. The mall offers a fantastic selection of stores, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences. The atmosphere was inviting, with clean and well-maintained common areas. The variety of dining options provided a nice break during my shopping excursion. Additionally, the ample parking and convenient location made the overall experience hassle-free. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Shops at Oak Brook and look forward to returning soon.”
“Stopped at Walgreens for my prescription and then Subway for a footlong sandwich ? ? got in and out quickly at both places without any lines, that's just how I like it.”
“If you love sherbert, then look no further. There are donuts and cakes, but don't over think this. Order the rainbow cone. What are you waiting for?! Stop reading and go.”

“I like this plaza. It's been here for a while with Old World and Subway. There used to be a BlockBuster here WAY back in the day. Yeah I'm here for Subway and Old World. There's Walgreens there and a strange one way stop. Driving straight through it is illegal”
“Did carry-out from Subway. The salad with grilled chicken is my favorite. Everything is fresh and lots of it. Got extra portion of chicken so twice as good. Delicious salad.”
“Went to Lee and Eddie's. If you haven't tried them you have to. Food is SO GOOD and nicely priced. They've been around for years for a reason. Only thing is, they close at 5, so have dinner early - it's better to eat early anyway.”
