Thornwood Restaurant and Lounge is a great spot with excellent food, strong drinks, anda relaxed atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and make you feel welcome right away. The menu has a nice mix of options, and everything I’ve tried has been fresh and flavorful. It’s the kind of place that’s easy to keep coming back to whenever I’m in town.

Sat for over an hour with no service. The server came to my table asked one of the girls if she wanted a drink and ignored me. No reason why unacceptable and complete disrespect for me. I tired to get her attention with no success she saw me and then walked away. Never got her name she has pink hair and helped ever other table but mine.

Simple, fresh and satisfying. The drinks were just as good as the food. The place was comfortable and the staff were very welcoming. I’d definitely come back.

We have gone here a few times mostly because it’s close to our work but also our friends wrestle here for POWW! And they also love the karaoke on Wednesdays. Tonight the good was Excellent! We got the breaded mushrooms very crunchy delicious flavor and the ranch sauce was yummy like a garlic ranch sauce! The pretzel sticks with cheese were amazing! And the chicken strips were juicy and had a thin layer of lightly crunchy flavor! I do have to say it was very unfortunate that our waitress didn’t keep coming back and we had to bring our food to her later to get box’s and close the tab cuz she never came back. And it honestly wasn’t that busy in the other room she kept going into either. Over all we had fun! I definitely recommend it for cozy atmosphere and fun entertainment and great food!

Was here for our monthly board meeting. Got the patty melt and it was awesome, just like many other dishes I have gotten here in the past. The bar area has a bunch of TV’s to watch. There is also 2 area’s outside to eat, drink, and enjoy your company while sitting in a nice breeze. The girls working the counter are very friendly and are all around the counter taking care of everyone.

We crashed Thornwood with 30(ish) of our wedding guests after our wedding and had a blast! The bartenders were absolute rockstars and the mozzarella sticks are to die for. Thanks for letting us continue to party!

Bar tenders were great, food was good. All went south after we closed out, got one last drink a little before last call then payed our tab. We hung out and as I was half way through my last drink there bus boy asked, “can you move so I can sweep.” Got a little frustrated by that we understood it was 30 before closing but at the same time maybe that’s a normal procedure. What ever it was it’s not customer satisfaction I can tell you that.
After he swept I moved my seat back and he said “I have to mop.” I looked at him said ok and moved my seat back again. We moved to a table. Went back to the bar left my half drank High noon and left. The bartenders were wonderful but sadly that just left a sour taste in our mouths.
Unsure if management put this in closing procedures but I think it should be reconsidered and recommended to be looked at for an overall better experience.
Illinois food service sanitation code 750.1220 states that you should wait until after closing to clean floors. I think if it’s written in something that is supposed to be followed per law then it probably has reason for it. On the dramatic side things if you had someone previously injured and walking with a crutch, cane, or mildly intoxicated (as one can get at a bar) I think wet floor could be dangerous and lead to bigger issues for the business.
Over was an okay night was going good till closing and ending your shift was a bigger priority than making sure your costumers Saftey and experience which directly affect the traffic of your business becomes less of a priority.
