“Went there for Wife’s Birthday last week. Great Salad,Soup and Deep Dish. Couple cocktails too were yummy“

“Veronica was great. Very prompt with her service and courteous along the way. I would come again“

“Met up with some friends the night before the Kentucky Derby......had a good time. Our server Carmella was a gem, she knew our preferences and kept checking on us to see how we were doing. Tito's vodka drinks were well made. Food-wise, didn't know what to expect. I had the Sloppy Joe, served on a fresh brioche bun and it was very tasty. Not a gambler, but I'd go back for good food and reasonably priced drinks. One thing worth noting, most of the tables are high-tops.“

“The ribs were delicious! My fish and chips were eh. My husband liked their buffalo grilled chicken.Kid-friendliness: It wasn't really kid friendly. The high chairs are tiny. My just now 2 year old, who is pretty small, could barely fit in it.“

“Fantastic food, fantastic service!“

“I believe the bartenders name was Lauren (long blonde hair), and she was fantastic. Great recommendations, never a wait to request something and very sweet.Another girl with cute shorter red brown hair ran us our food, checked in with us and was super friendly. She may have been a manager? All staff i met were great, no wait time for the bar, excellent food, wonderful drinks.Thanks for a great time!“

“They only serve lunch only during the weekdays (no dinner and no weekends). However it is the best lunch around! It's like your mom went in the kitchen and made it for you. Soups are made from scratch and they are delicious. The BLT on rye is outstanding. And if they have it, you have to try the potato salad. This is a bar with a Northwoods atmosphere that has affordable prices but there are some tables to sit at. They also have a Friday fish special.“

“Stopped by for the first time. Had the meatloaf sandwich with mashed potatoes and they both were delicious.My daughter had the Mac n cheese and it was kind of bland but she's 6 so she still ate it.Other than that the waiter was awesome and the price for 2 meals was very reasonable!Will be going back.“

“Been going here forever. Being half German means getting fed here mandatory. This time Wiener Schnitzel (2 HUGE pieces) was my choice. I've had so many things and they're all good. Spaetzle & the sweet & sour red cabbage this time. And I got to warm it up again 2 days later; they are generous portions. Like beer? List is endless.“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. We were recommended to check this spot out by a local bartender, and we are so glad we did! The ambiance was really chill and non pretentious. Our mixologist, David, was super personable and well versed in his craft. He’s bringing experience from cocktail programs in the city to the burbs! It was a cute little spot that gave speakeasy vibes. We initially thought we were underdressed, but this place wasn’t booshie at all, and there was no judgement like some places. The cocktails were creative and well balanced. I’m so glad we have a place like this nearby. We will definitely be back soon!Update:We just went back because of our previous experience. I brought a group of 10 (all industry people). We spent over 1k as a group for my friend’s 40th bday. I raved about this place only to feel unwelcome in the end. A young female bartender tells us we were too loud. Honestly, we obviously had a lot to drink, but nobody was being reckless. We were told people were complaining. From a business standpoint you made us feel unwelcome in an establishment where we spent money. Take the $60 2 top who complained over what we spent there tonight? At least pull one of us aside instead of making a grand announcement. Chad you’re a great and talented owner, but train your staff how to talk to people. Just tell us, dont make a scene.“

“Wow the Ribs were delicious and the pasta and the waitress was friendly and great i would recommend this place and the dessert and coffee were superb“

“Met a friend here for dinner. I glanced at the menu before arriving & there were several tasty sounding items. My friend & I split the tuna poké with chips ? I ordered the Derby Burger which was mouthwateringly delicious. My friend ordered the Greek chicken with Naan which also looked yummy & my friend confirmed. Our waitress was training but she did a great job ?? I would be more than happy to return!“

“Great service, Like Cheers,when you walk in,Everyone knows your name..friendly and clean and problem causers are respectfully ushered out.Karaoke nights welcome in singers of all ages and friendly DJ accompies the entertainment.come in and see for yourself...A local inviting pub.“

“Hands down Juan makes the best tacos in the area!!!! He is phenomenal at his craft! And can’t beat bingo on Tuesday’s if you are craving tacos! Or any food for that matter, literally everything I’ve ordered from here the two years I’ve lived in lisle whether take out or dine in has been incredible!Highly recommend this family owned hot spot for great food, good drinks and awesome community!“

“We came here after a zoo day and the entire family enjoyed it. We got the cheese curds and Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and they were both delicious. The fish tacos were great, but the corned beef tacos were out of this world! Highly recommend this place for an afternoon lunch or family dinner.“

“Great time!! My first time there but we had a blast! The band, Claremont Drive was playing! They were awesome! Their baby boomer music had us up and dancing all night long and they had a nice size dance floor. The food was good and everyone was wonderful and welcoming. Unfortunately I can’t remember the waitresss name but she deserves some kind of award. Apparently they had some people call off but our waitress ran around like she had a rocket in her pants. Took care of everybody in record time with a smile on her face and a good word for everyone. Hope I can be notified if Claremont Drive comes back!“

“I was on the other side last night. Now I know why everyone loves Donna,the service was great, she made me and my family feel special. Food was great as always ❤️“

“Their food is great and is just an awesome spot with a lot of charm and friendly faces.“

“Love the bartenders...great place to unwind...they treat the regulars and newbies just the same!!“

“Ordered pizza to go and food was good, took longer then I'd except to make a pie but It reflected in quality. Can't really speak of the service since it was to go order and the atmosphere seemed like a typical sports bar, nothing special but if you come for the food you won't be disappointed, worth stopping by if you're in the area and want a quick drink and some food“

“We absolutely love Docs, they have amazing food, amazing drinks and THE BEST service. We’ve been there a dozen times and always had stellar service. Very recently we met their GM, Amber and it became instantly clear that the service was a direct trickle down effect from her leadership. Amber went way above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We recently got a new puppy and she made sure he had water and even chopped up some carrots for him which are his favorite. She was constantly talking to guests and moving people around the patio to ensure they had shade and were comfortable. Her dedication to guest service is truly refreshing and very rare in the post Covid restaurant industry. We will certainly be back again and again because of her.“

“We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a pint and lunch. It was our first visit to Dunkley’s. Overall we are very satisfied with the food and felt very welcomed by bartender Suhei.I had the Spicy Crispy Chicken sandwich and it was delicious. My dining partner had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and loved it. Both sandwiches came with a mound of fries.I particularly appreciate Suhei’s ability to pour a “proper” pint of Guiness (20oz). She was patient and poured it the way Guiness is meant to be poured; with patience. Too many taverns that have draft Guiness do an awful job dispensing a pint. Suhei knows her stuff!For 3 pints and two sandwiches, the bill was just shy of $55. I think that’s good value for what we had.We will definitely be back!“

“first timer , awesome place to hang out listen to a live singer great burgers. it feeks like everyone knows each other and are super friendly . going back next friday for dinner“

“Came in here for the first time in awhile. Sat down, and got some of the best service ive ever gotten ever. I look much younger for my age, so the bar owner was understandably cautious when i presented my ID. Once he realized i am the age i do not look. He was the friendliest guy, and everyone at the bar started talking, and joking like i was a regular. The food, drinks, and service is a 10/10. This place is everything a good irish pub should be.“

“Awesome food/drinks and service! Also just as awesome is the interior decor here, especially the ceiling and the top of the bar. How many places have the name and contact info of other businesses on the ceiling along with pennies under the glass top of a table? LOL That is so cool and unique!“

“The bartender was excellent and very attentive to all the patrons' needs. When new people entered the establishment, they were warmly welcomed. We got our drinks right away, and the complimentary popcorn was a perfect touch. Thanks, Jill, for a great experience.“

“Went here on a Groupon on a Friday night - all you can eat fish fry. OBP was really busy but our waitress, Cindy, got to us reasonably quick. We had drinks, shortly afterwards we had an appetizer. The Groupon would not work with the all you can eat fish but the order was so big we couldn't eat any additional orders anyways. Reuben was good too. Prices were great. We will be back - ribs looked delicious.“

“I ate here twice. Cesar salad with grilled chicken was very good, a little heavy on the dressi g for my liking. I also had the chicken wings which were average, a little too crispy in my opinion, but celery was very fresh and was very good with the blue cheese. Second visit, I had the Italian Wedding soup. Soup was delicious and hot, perfectly paired with the buttery toast that just melted in my mouth with the soup broth and was perfect for dipping!! I also had the market salad with medium rare steak. Salad was big and steak was cook as requested. The soup with toast was definitely the highlight for me. Prices are on the high end, but I didn't leave hungry. Perfect spot when staying at the hotel and don't feel like going out.“

“The Wolf's Head is a great place for a quick bite or a larger meal. The service is friendly and accommodating, and the food is tasty. Something unique on the menu is the New Orleans Baked French Onion Soup; definitely a must try! They have a nice beer list, a good whiskey list, and the cocktails are well-made. On nice days they have a window-wall that opens to the outside, and they also have a patio on the west side of the restaurant. Felt like a good place to watch a game, too. Go check them out!“

“Went to Irish Times again last night for the best Fish and Chips around!!! So good!!! Especially during Lent!!! Not to mention amazing Shepherds Pie!!! Besides the food being amazing our server Mike was friendly and attentive and helped make our dinner date a great one!!! Wouldn't mind having him as our server every time!!! Great job Mike!!! Can't wait for the summer and more fun times hanging outside at the beer garden!!! Big Fan of Irish Times here!!!! 10/10“

“Always have a good time at Mahoney's every time I'm in town I always go the little local bar They don't serve food but there's plenty around to get something to eat and they will deliver to the place and you can eat there , nice little patio smoking area in the back highly recommended nice place“

“Really did love this place and made some great new friends. Jake and April treated me like family, felt like I was at home! Man I had a blast Love you guys remember to call me. if I ever do get back to Chicago that's probably the first place I'm going to go to.“

“This place is all time. I first started going there as a kid with my Uncle Gary back in the early/mid 1980's. Yes I entered through the back door and never used the front door. I have great memories from Charlie's and glad his nephew Chip is continuing the legacy.“

“Basic dive bar in Villa Park with a few slots and an overall greasy a** feel. Fitz's, also known as the Irish Bulldog, is a pretty worn out looking place. It has what you expect in a place like this. Cheap booze and fried greasy bar food like wings and crap. The best things are the slots and TVs for basic entertainment. Came in for a bit. It wasn't busy but it felt crowded because the place is small. The crowds are kind of rough but they usually don't start fights and thankfully I haven't seen any yet. Beer is the best thing on the menu. It's $2 for a typical draft and they have the basic s*** like Miller and stuff. There's usually a few taps not working. Such a dive bar. The food is basic fried and greasy stuff. It doesn't have Irish food. They do occasionally like on St. Patrick's Day and so. Get some cheap a** beer. It's your best bet, including on the slots. The place smells like farts and fries though.“

“This is such a great local spot! I cannot believe I had not been here before. I came for my bday on a Monday and it did not disappoint. Our server was kinda a pretty but mean girl, I didn't get her name but whatever. I was there with my brother and sister in law and we had shots and a couple drinks and burgers. And nothing was going to kill my vibe. I'll def be back!“

“Although the baked clams were good, it was hard to come to a decision as the menu was a bit all over. Definitely need to try the pizza. Looked yummy. The atmosphere was lively and fun. We were there on a busy Saturday- service was good, but could have used a bit more attention.“

“We have been visiting the Blue Line in Addison 3 times a week for the past five years. Michelle, Jeff, Jackie and Shannon, prior to her passing, were a joy. We celebrated hockey wins, losses, birthday parties and just hung with some of the best folks in the world! Thanks to the five-star staff including the cooks and bartenders that made every visit a treat! Continued success!“

“This is not just your average bar. This is THEE Horseshoe Inn not just the horseshoe inn. There's a difference... This place has and is the epitome of history and mystery!! It's a place full of locals that you can only find here!! It's got a fascinating back story and a ton of not just local history but Chicago history.! This is one of the places that the Irish Mafia used to hang out in!!! A place where the murder mystery is alive and unsolved!!! You come to a place like this and you can feel the history, feel it in your soul!! You want to check this place out!!! Ask anyone here about the history and they will tell you straight out!! Are you in the mood for a drink??? Get it here!! Are you in the mood for a quick bite?? Well you can get it here too along with a nice fresh tap or bottle of what ever beer you like!!! So let me tell you that if you are a ghost hunter?? You can find some ghosts here!! Are you a ghost buster?? Don't come here because they like their ghosts!! I hope this helps!! If you have enjoyed reading this review please like it! If not that's cool too!! I hope you have read this review and at least tried this place! If not that's cool too!! Enjoy!!!Dietary restrictions: Are you really on a diet?Parking: Smaller lot but plenty of parking!Kid-friendliness: Not really sure if you want to bring your kid to a bar if that's your scene go right ahead!!Wheelchair accessibility: You got a chair you can get inside!!“

“We knew that Pam was working yesterday. We stopped by and had a very nice lunch. She recommended the chicken tenders and they were awesome. We had appointments to go to and when we were done we went back and had after work drinks with one other the true “Legends” of her craft. Thanks Pam look forward to hanging out with you soon.“

“This restaurant is located inside of the hotel. The food is super tasty and the servers are really friendly. My only complaint is that the vibe feels very much like a mid range hotel. There is not a ton of natural light especially if you sit further back near the kitchen. However if you are there with a group or for work you don’t really care about this. I thought the dishes were very delicious and the price was not crazy.“

“Went there on a Saturday night to see Scarlet Mountain. Sean M was our server and he went above and beyond to make sure we could see the band while we ate. He was accommodating to let us leave the table and come back throughout the night. He was quick with our food and quicker with our drinks. The food was amazing… Shepherds Pie and Corned Beef Bites!! I asked to speak to the manager Louis as I wanted him to know what a great time we had. He came and talked to us and let us know about all the events especially St. Paddy’s day coming up. What a fantastic place!!“

“Stopped in for dinner since the restaurant is attached to the hotel. Had the house salad and some wings. Both were good. The staff was friendly. I was thankful to not have to Uber or order in food since we had a flight canceled and it was getting late.“

“great spirits and beers good food and entertainment its awesome“

“Owner forced the new kareoke DJ to close early due to lack of people. It was his only second time there. Completely unnecessary.Update: Changing my review to reflect what I think about the place overall. Still not happy that the DJ had to close before 11 as advertised, but overall I have enjoyed my time there. Big plus for staying open late, friendly and attentive bartenders, and really good food.“
