I can’t praise staff enough! We had a wonderful experience! The manager Sam, was super accommodating. Our server, Lorelei was quick and on top of our table the whole visit. All our meals were delicious including our puppies meal off of the Dog menu! Love that they are dog friendly. We were seated in the back patio that is covered and has string lights for great ambiance. There was a tv with the game on at the perfect volume. Over all fantastic venue to celebrate our son’s 12th birthday. Thank you for the excellent experience!

Great time.
Even after I was sure I was getting extra crispy tots, I got none with my meal. Manager had my back and made it right.
Soup was very good.
I wish I knew first responders and teachers got 20% off. It was only posted in the Men’s room. (I did not check the Ladies room).

The bartender was a very hard-working person who had to take care of 12 people at the bar and 18 people at tables around the bar all by herself. Definitely needed somebody else to help her out. She worked nonstop and was so friendly and made good drinks and took as good of care of us as humanly possible. Recommend to have an extra person at the bar to help her out. It was a Thursday night and it got really, really busy.
Old fashions were very good and the chicken thigh tacos were good with a GENEROUS portion of ingredients. You could literally take all the ingredients from those two very large tacos and make them into three if you wanted to. The braised chicken thigh was decent and a good source of protein, but really couldn’t taste the beer it was braised in. Could do more with that chicken thigh since I am a cook as well as my wife.
If you find a way to marinate the chicken thigh in beer and then maybe grill it with additional spices, you can make those tacos amazing. Needless to say the pilaf that came with it was amazing and the beans were also. Tacos were good, but could be even better.
Such a pleasant atmosphere and really appreciated it and a nice diversion from the Timothy O’Tooles in Chicago .

I was excited to come back to this place after being gone for so long. I used to love their garlic Parmesan boneless wings!
We walked in and they seated us fairly quickly, we were sat at a table but asked for a booth and there were a few opened but they said they werent available, which was fine, I dont think they had a lot of staffing on this day so I understand. The inside was nicely decorated with Chicago sports teams which was so nice.
We ordered the Garlic Parmesan boneless wings, the birria grilled cheese and a kiss chicken tender and fries fpr my nephew. The garlic Parmesan wings were clearly frozen then fried which is not how I remember them, the breading was seperating from the chicken and the vreadign was so hard :/ the birria grilled cheese was very flavorful and juicy with such a nice crust on the bread. And my nephew really enjoyed his kids meal.
Overall, I thought the staff was great but the boneless wings not so much..

This is a great local restaurant and bar. My husband & I come here a few times a month and are always greeted by friendly faces and welcoming staff. Hillary’s energy makes everyone feel welcome at the bar (and she makes a great drink too) but we enjoy ourselves regardless of server/bartender and have enjoyed talking to all of them. The food is great too with the giant pretzel and irish nachos (both pictured) as particular favorite appetizers.

Well, we must be crazy because we went to an Irish pub on St Patrick’s Day. As you can imagine, it was pure pandemonium inside. However, we were lucky enough to be seated inside a little private room, which was perfect for us. It was well worth the wait. The corned beef was so good and not fatty at all, and everything was just delicious. We plan to brave the crowds next year because it was so great.
We used to live closer to Gurnee, but enjoyed this location so much more. The lighting is better and funnily enough, their drinking water is 1000% better. This is important if you’re a water drinker like me. We’ll be back for sure.

The food was delicious! The mexicali soup was amazing. ..it is very hard to give an accurate description of the soup because of all of the flavors included but trust me, you won’t regret ordering it! The grilled cheese smash burger and meatloaf were also incredible! We will definitely be returning.

Wow. I’m totally astounded at the incredible service I received and the food was great too. My server Maddie was super busy with a ton of tables and yet she was super calm and sweet, and got us everything we needed. The service was beyond exceptional, the atmosphere was nice with a chill guitarist singer dude.

Nice experience overall. Site is handicapped by major road construction, but did not seem to affect the regular customers…it was busy! Very comfortable environment, our server Aaliyan was friendly and attentive. The pretzel bites appetizer was substantial and tasty with 3 sauces. My chicken macaroni & cheese entree with sauce tasted terrific. My wife ordered the rib basket. Although she enjoyed the BBQ sauce, the ribs were sizeable but on the dry side. Ultimately, I would definitely visit again, especially Tuesday with the intriguing macaroni & cheese specials.
