Best West Lawn, Chicago restaurants? What do the locals think are the best in the neighborhood?

I'm going to make two positive recommendations and one negative. The two places I've eaten at in West Lawn and enjoyed are Palermo's Pizza, which is a great pizza place with excellent, though basic options, and Sky Chop Suey, which is a relatively cheap, but good, Chinese restaurant.

I did not enjoy the Red Lobster in West Lawn. I love Red Lobster normally, but the one there really underwhelmed me and the group I was with. I would not go back to that particular restaurant.
