Sorry, I was on hiatus. Steve, have you made this run yet? The best choice will be to run a little west and then north up 83 to Westmont. There is a Lao Sze Chuan there. as well as a number of other interesting spots. Then there is Cebu, a somewhat upscale Filipino place that is a little west on 75th. Near there, there is also a decent Bohemian place whose name escapes me at the moment.
Safest, and most main stream is Country House, a decent burger tavern with a full kitchen (the original one of three, in a mini-chain out here) on 55th street, just west of 83. All these are less than 15 minutes from Indian Head Park - zip out Plainfield Road, then either go west on 75th, or head north on rte 83.
Or tell me what kind of cuisine you want, and I can make some other suggestions. No lack of places, really, if you are prepared to drive a little bit.
But this is probably way too late.
