“Our server Daniel was absolutely amazing! He was so sweet and knowledgeable and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our dining experience. Couldn’t ask for a better server!“

“When I used to live in West Chicago a couple of years ago, my fiancé now husband and I used to go there all the time and his Uncle Mike. I recommend this place 100%, the drinks are good, the bartenders are friendly, and the Viper Burger was our favorite. Alan is an awesome guy with a great sense of humor. The atmosphere is chill, welcoming and you'll have a great time. When I say to stop by The Bunker, I mean it lol 😃. Whenever we are in town again, we are definitely going to try stopping by. 😌✨“

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“First time at McMae's tonight. Service was excellent and so was the food. Had the special chicken parm and it was plentiful and tasty and served with garlic bread. Will definitely be back in the future.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Jessica. She’s by far the best bartender…attentive, kind, and always creating a great vibe. It’s always a pleasure being at the bar when she’s working.“

“Such a great pub venue. Our server, Tyler, went out of his way to welcome us. The menu is extensive. The beer list has both rotating taps and craft beer options. They offer cocktails, spirits and wine as well as N/A options. The food is outstanding. I had the ginormous wings. Others ordered mini burger sliders and Etouffe. Both liked there dishes. This is a place we will go back to. We watched the World Cup soccer game without feeling bombarded by TVs.“

“it's a great place. and very good food and service“

“Love Saturday and Sunday with Jake“

“Definitely a friendly, welcoming vibe.“

“Gyros, boneless wings, chicken sandwiches, salads, soup...all fantastic food. You can't go wrong with what you choose. It's all very good.“

“Our go to spot on movie night and for lunch. Food is great, service is top notch thanks to Gabrielle. Best burgers in the area and great apps and drink specials.“

“Our large group went on Monday, March 17. We had great food, drinks, dance music, and fun! One of the best nites ever! Janie rocks it!!!“

“Dive bar with good food. Nothing tasted like it came from a box/freezer including appetizers (coconut shrimp and rings) and meats. Prices are reasonable and the daily drink specials are stuff you'd prefer not just stuff you'd settle for. Service was pretty good for just a staff of 5 and both bartenders on my Saturday nite visit knew what they were about.“

“love the food but prices are high for plastic cups and 1 once shots. cheap plastic cups.“

“This place is the place to be! the people are friendly, TANYA (T-2) is the greatest bartender, ever, and the drinks are great because of her expertise! The view behind the bar is a pleasure to check out, and if you've never been here, you've been missing out! Please note, there is free darts on Tuesdays and free pool on Sundays! You won't see that anywhere else. come and check it The End Zone and you gotta meet Tanya for her superior service! Yay End Zone!“

“We enjoyed our time together as a family. We dined and drank at UP North after attending our Christmas Eve church service. We enjoyed the food, service, prices were good, ambiance was cozy & cabin like feel. We sat at a low/ standard table. They had many high top tables as well all the tables seemed very nice, every place to sit seemed like it would be comfy.“

“great specials. attentive staff. fun atmosphere.“

“I really enjoyed my order! I got the Hell's Kitchen burger, and it was well worth the price. For an appetizer, I got the corn dip, and it was AMAZING! The only thing I didn't really care for was the fries, but honestly, I regretted ordering them the minute it left my mouth because you really don't need them with a burger like that. 10/10 — I would definitely order it again!“

“I can’t share my experience there but I ordered off of uber eats and the food is amazing! The price first had me sketchy thinking it wasn’t going to be good lol because how is it this cheap and the quality is better than a place I would pay over 25$ for. The ribeye steak sandwich is amazing cooked to perfection. The fries and cheese were so good and so was the cheesecake! I definitely am going to take the kids out here one day. My food was piping hot and amazing! Definitely going to be a returning customer 100000/10 I will be back🫶“

“Great food, but they have a limited of certain section on certain food. Most of all the liquor is beer, but does have cocktails and other drinks. I love the lights it gives a romantic outdoor feeling. I went with my friend and enjoyed it. I had a Pork sandwich and she had a Philly steak sandwich.“
