Great food. Awesome place to go to watch any sport. Lots of tv’s. Wish they had darts boards instead of the golf and deer hunting arcade games. Only suggestion, get dart boards ditch the arcade games. Hidden slot room in the back of the restaurant, so you aren’t judged as you gamble lol. Im a local guy and this bar is dependable. Always recommend it to friends.
Update. I have tried about 40% of the menu now lol. Their food is freaking amazing. The mini burgers, 3 taco dinner, 21 shrimp and the ravioli are my go to. The ribtips and burgers are reliable and good. And their pizza is on a level by itself. Love their food. I order from here at least once a week lbva

I’m a repeat customer and normally have a good experience at JL’s but left disappointed after today’s visit.
We were a party of 4 and arrived at 11:15 am on a Friday morning and were amongst the 1st to be seated. Our waitress arrived, gave us menus and left for about 10 minutes without asking for our drink order. When she did return, the drink order was taken and, although we were ready to give her our main order, she left abruptly. After another wait a food runner brought us our drinks. More waiting and then our waitress arrived and took our orders. I asked to substitute steamed vegetables instead of french fries but our waitress said that wasn’t possible, although that was never an issue on previous visits. By this time it was nearly noon and the place was packed, with customers who had arrived after us already receiving their orders. It did appear our waitress was the only server on the floor and all tables were occupied so I knew things could get lengthy and her attention to us would be limited.
Finally our food arrived. I ordered the fish and chips and, by comparison to other visits, my dish was underwhelming: The fish was heavily battered to conceal the measly portion of fish, the fries were about a 1/2 portion and the cole slaw (advertised as a side dish) was in a small ramekin the same size that the tartar sauce was served, weighing I’m guessing about 1 ounce. By comparison my friend ordered a burger and her cole slaw came in a soup cup and was probably 6-8 ounces. My wife’s order also had a mix-up (she ordered a side salad for her panini but was given onion rings) and when this was pointed out to our waitress she made no effort to correct the order. Instead she just mumbled something about being busy and left. I flagged her down again asking for malt vinegar but she said they didn’t have any which, again, is not consistent with previous visits where vinegar was brought to the table whenever fish and chips are ordered.
Finally after finishing our food and paying the bill we left shortly before 1 pm or, about 1 hour 45 minutes after we arrived. That’s too long by about 1 hour for a “quick lunch”.
Lastly, our server (black hair and black glasses) was trying to be nice but seemed surly at times with her hyper-active demeanor and abrupt communication. Given the circumstances of flying solo I suppose this is understandable so I cut her some slack because the place was packed. This does raise questions about adequate staffing in general though.
I’ll give JLs the benefit of the doubt and rationalize they were just having an off day but do suggest they address their portion size and substitution policies as well as server training on matters of common courtesy. They also need to hire more servers. I’ll give them one more chance given past favorable visits but if this is the new normal I’ll just go elsewhere in the future. Good luck with the improvements: You can do better.

I ordered takeout and got two sandwiches. The fries were a bit soggy and not seasoned, but the sandwiches were amazing! The guacamole spread on the panini was generous, the meats were tender, and the portion was big. The prices were very reasonable, and the female host was so friendly.

This place is always packed and for a good reason. The food is freaking delicious! I recommend the cheese steak sandwich! Bring that it’s always busy expect a slight wait. The people who work there are very nice as well.

Fantastic atmosphere and food. Great prices on drink specials and food in general. Highly recommend the buffalo chicken wrap, pizza and wings. A little on the loud side if you’re not in to that.

I ordered the fish sandwich and fries. I had already had a snack before arriving there. Sandwich was fine, had an abundance of fries. Could not eat them all. Parking is limited so arrive early.

I love JL’s and would highly recommend it if you are around the Palatine area! The food was delicious, affordable, and came out quickly! Though this restaurant was amazing, I would recommend to bring a sweater because it was a bit chilly in the restaurant. I will definitely be visiting again!

The place should be completely remodeled. The place is dedicated to the last place Blackhawks. The big main screen is silly in size and tiring to watch. Plus there is just one bar or place to buy a beer in a big place. The ceiling is too high. The food portions were small. Tired of this boring bar that is so blackhawks and looks like a tall tv appliance store. The pizza is bar quality. The high ceiling and strange design makes this not a good looking bar. The hvac would work better with a lower ceiling.
