15 Best American Restaurants in Algonquin

“We just finished celebrating our daughter's college graduation at the Cooper's Hawk in Algonquin. I cannot say enough about the awesome experience we had. Starting with Angelina handling all the details to the planning of the event, to the room being set up just perfect; to Joel and Natalie who were the absolute best servers we could have had; to the delicious food (OMG the salmon) and dessert that was served; and of course, not to mention the wonderful wine tasting bar. All our guests were so impressed! Thank you, Cooper's Hawk, for taking such good care of us. You made our celebration one we will remember.“

“we spent our night tonight there together just myself and my fiance. we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The owners were the most wonderful people. It was nice and quiet just him and I with a little music in the background with nice dim lighting. The food was out of this world! Very generous food portions! we will definitely be thinking about this place for a while!!! Honestly I don't think we could have had a better night! Thank you for making our night special“

“First time here and Bree our waitress was great and especially beautiful. The service was good“

“The lighting was way too bright, especially those high beam lights at the high top tables in the bar area. If you dimmed those and overall in the restaurant it would be a much better ambiance. The food was amazing, the choice of drinks and wine fantastic and service was great.“

“Delicious! Service was great!“

“So far everything I have tried I thoroughly enjoyed. The bacon rancher was awesome last night!“

“Our server was Amber (I think she said it was the same name as her manager. I’m bad at names. I’m so sorry) she was amazing! Not only was our food and service out in a timely manner and she was so helpful, and on top of it, she helped me search for my promise ring! I don’t know how but I lost it during my time there but when I told her she immediately looked around for it as well as going and checking the plates she had taken from our table. She took my name and number and said if she finds it or doesn’t she would let me know which is truly above and beyond. Thank you for making my mom and I’s experience so good even with me losing my ring. We really appreciate it a lot 🖤“

“The food , portion sizes , and prices are great but the chairs are unpadded and feel like sitting on cold concrete. On a cold day it's just as cold in the dine in area. as it is outside. Please turn up the heat out of consideration for the senior customers.“

“Love their happy hour specials great staff highly recommend 5stars“

“love this place eeverything about it“

“Best bar pizza in town, loaded with toppings and cooked to perfection! Always a great time due to the great environment.“

“My friend and I really enjoyed the Mexican Pappardelle. We had some issues with food our last 3 times there, but Montana, our waiter, remembered us and make sure the food arrived hot. I enjoyed the Petite Syrah, which won an award at the Illinois Fair.. Service from Montana was great, too.“

“Attentive staff, always checking on customers like us, fast in responding to your needs/refilling sides.“

“We celebrated our 27th Anniversary tonight at Port Edward with dinner on the boat. I grew up going here as a kid and had not been there for 30 years. It was as amazing as it has always been and exceeded my expectations with the fantastic service from April and the kindness of a sweet woman who had worked there for 50 years named Cynthia. They went above and beyond to make sure our night was one to never forget and all of the food was delicious. I highly recommend to everyone to come and enjoy this experience for yourself! Thank you to April and Cynthia for a perfect night!“
