I’ve had this place on my list for a while and finally had the chance to try the pizza. We ordered Italian beef and giardiniera and it was so good. The homemade chips and onion dip were also delicious.
You could tell our server Tina knew everyone and was well loved and went above and beyond for everyone. So service gets 10 stars. Even Caroline the hostess and Jimmy the bartender just seemed fun and great at their jobs. Definitely a place I wish I was a regular at and will be back and recommend to all.

Countryside saloon is a great bar specially to watch sports have a few drinks, but my visit was strictly for their thin crust cheeses pizza always gotta get cheese pizza on your first visit. CS actually has decent pizza for a bar. I actually prefer it over chasers. CS crust is nice and thin. They offer a 18 inch for $25 which I think is reasonable most places charge that for a 14-16 inch. I think their sauce is decent. It’s more on the acidic side, which I prefer. Service was great from the hostess to the waiter and the busier were very nice. It’s a huge standalone building with a ginormous parking lot. 100% Recommend!

Large bar and restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. It was clean with an attractive decor. The staff was friendly and prices are decent for the area.
The fiance ordered a burger and enjoyed it. Her homemade chips were really good. I went with the Salad Pizza. I prefer veggie pizzas, and this was a greek salad on a pizza crust. Unique and delicious, and I’m glad I ordered the smallest size. It was so filling I had enough leftover for lunch the next day.

Came here to watch the cubs game. I live literally 5 mins away. Love this place. Food is always good and great customer service however today Ian was our waiter . He was extremely nice , polite , jolly , constantly smiling and kept asking if everything was good. Amazing customer service as I watched other waitress work together as a team. Outstanding service. It was a pleasure being there. Thank you

I met up with former colleagues and had never heard of this place. But wow – this is going on my circuit. Pizza is legit – thin and crispy – and extra points for the tiny corners. Beer list is local and impressive.

I’ve always had a wonderful time at the countryside saloon. Their pizza is fantastic, and the service is great without breaking the bank. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner for two or a big group!

Very accommodating and friendly place to come to. Been here multiple times, unfortunately on the same days as big events they have where many tables need to be reserved ahead of time. However, they’re always able to sit my groups (6-8) and find a space for us.
Prices are slightly above average, but theyll have some good deals here and there. Food has always been delicious and weve enjoyed the inside, the porch, and the outdoor seating.
Only issues ive had are just incorrect orders, drinks not coming out, or it taking way too long to get a server for the initial order. Just be patient and its no issue.

Group of 12. Our waitress was Lucy (if I remember correctly).
Great sport bar atmosphere. We lucked out for a Saturday night. Not crowded.
Food was good. Our waitress was outstanding but I ordered a turkey club without the turkey. And she was too busy to wave her down. I enjoyed the Perry cider beer.
Verdict: I’d come back!

What I really like about Countryside Saloon is how balanced the atmosphere feels. It’s lively enough to be fun but not so loud that you can’t talk. The servers and bartenders actually pay attention, and you never feel ignored. The menu has plenty of variety, and everything I’ve tried has come out hot, fresh, and flavourful. A great neighbourhood spot that does things right.

This is a fantastic place to have a good beverage and some good food. They’re definitely known for their pizza and their wings. The bartenders are outstanding, personable, professional and know how to make fantastic drinks. Also plenty of TVs throughout the entire complex. Always a good seat to watch any sports. We went to watch an NCAA Basketball game. It was packed as it usually is. Lastly, the bands that they hire are always fantastic!
My only problem was our server Joy. Unfortunately she didn’t bring us much joy, because when she brought the bill back to us she did not give us an itemized breakdown. We noticed the bill was a little high so we went and asked for the itemized breakdown. It appeared that she conveniently gave herself a 20 percent tip plus an extra surcharge without telling us. I’m not used to having a tip already applied when there are only three people at a table. Note to self: Always look at the itemized Bill before you tip. Overall a wonderful place!
