“Stop! If you miss it, turn around! You’ll go, “Really? Golf balls and good food?” Yep, leave the clubs home - too cold for that - and don’t whiz by without stopping for a bite. There’s a reason so many cars are parked in the lot. The locals get it. Be a local!“

“Great little place to hang out and grab a burger and chat with local folks“

“Maybe 2 behind the bar for the weekend? We had a blast and I can handle the wait but respectfully just wanted to throw out the thought.
And the 3 stars on service is definitely not a dig on the bartender/ server but to the owners understaffing.“

“The broasted chicken is delicious and the service is excellent. Our server and bartender was Sue, shes the best. I highly recommend having the homemade chips and broccoli cheddar, if it's the soup of the day. We look forward to coming back.“

They were so helpful, let us set up early, refrigerated a cake for us, had appetizers out super quick! There was probably about 40 of us and the bartenders/waiters were awesome… it was a huge success! Definitely think of Alley 64 for a group/party options!“

“We dined at the bar, and Anna the bartender was great! It was very busy, but she did a good job taking care of her customers. Food was great, as always. Thanks!“

“This cute pub/restaurant offers a large variety of very affordable dishes which also include daily specials so be sure to ask your server for daily offerings.

I personally came here for food not alcoholic beverages and I brought my service dog with me on both visits.

First day I ordered their johnson bratwurst extremely delicious if you choose to add sauerkraut too and it comes with a choice of side so I got the seasoned curly fries and my Pyrenees gave it an enthusiastic 5 paws 🐾 up even though he only has 4 paws. The pub is very casual and an older group of men seem to be frequent customers here.

Yesterday my second visit I had my friend come here to and he also loved his order a very generous Bowl of chicken soup and a fish sandwich and I got the fish tacos with a small side of Spanish rice.

Everything is simple, inexpensive and tasty and very close to the Palatine Metra station in case you need to kill time before catching your train.

Servers here on both occasions are kept quite busy and are extremely friendly. A great place to relax with cheap eats.“

“I’ve visited here multiple years and have never been disappointed“

“Great bar to watch sports and drink in doors and out. The food is excellent as well. We love to go here for breakfast on the weekends. The skillets are awesome. Lots of toast options! The service is fast and very friendly. The breakfast prices are really good deals as well. We always have good food and a great time here.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Docks Bar & Grill. The service was excellent, the food was good, and everything came out fast. We also really enjoyed the conversations with the bartenders — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging. I mentioned that I appreciated the TVs being on the same channel, because when multiple screens are on different channels, the flickering lights can be overwhelming for me. I’m disabled and live with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) and CPTSD, along with chronic migraines. The sunglasses I wear help reduce light sensitivity from LEDs and neon lighting, and the staff was kind, open, and understanding when I explained this. It meant a lot to be treated with respect and curiosity rather than judgment. The bartender was friendly, approachable, and handled the conversation with warmth and professionalism. Great atmosphere, great people, and a place that makes you feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back.“

“We had a wonderful experience. We’re new to the area and our waitress Lucciana really made us feel at home. This place is wonderful, There’s an enclosed area with live music, the food is awesome, and the service is amazing. Highly recommended!!!“

“It’s a fun out going place“

“Amazing food quality. No seriously, amazing food quality guys! Put my drinks aside just to dig into the wings…. Has great vibe. Crowd is very well behaved, I feel so good sitting here right now. I have never reviewed a place on the spot but I couldn’t help myself because the food quality is awesome. Taste good, portion side good but the quality is just too good! 11/10 for this place I’m definitely coming back. I can only imagine the atmosphere on a weekend as I am awestruck on a Monday!“

“Nice and homey. Wonderful staff and the Owner is AWESOME!!!!!“

“No longer crave now Arlington Tap House. So much better. I work nights so it's nice to be able to get food at 2am when I get off. I usually get the bacon cheeseburger which comes with fries or just fries. The fries are the best the bacon cheeseburger is good too.“
