“We visited The Graceful Ordinary in downtown St. Charles, IL, on a warm late September day. We had a wonderful experience at Graceful Ordinary, one that's hard to match outside of Chicago. From its comfortable yet elegant design to the unique menu, every detail was carefully considered. The food was delicious and thoughtfully presented, and the service was excellent. We were fortunate to visit on a very warm day towards the end of September. We sat on the fully screened-in veranda and enjoyed the scenery in comfort. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a unique, elevated dining experience; no matter where you're traveling from, it's worth the trip.“

“We went here for a Friday night fish fry. We did carry out but they are open to the public. Fried cod, baked potato and coleslaw. Myhusband liked the fish alot but said it needed a little lemon or something to spice it up. I had fried shrimp which were very large with a baked potato and coleslaw. The coleslaw was not that great, but we enjoyed the rest of the meal alot. I would recommend this place for a good inexpensive fish fry.“

“The staff have been really rude to me ever since I pointed out that my tab was wrong and I was overcharged. I wasn't upset about the double charges, I just wanted them corrected. I've barely been waited on since then it seems. I tried to step in a help once when a patron had been over served. It wasn't welcomed at all. I was given the same look as I get when I walk up to the bar to get a drink. Too bad, it's really close to home to me. I haven't been in over a year and have no plans on returning.“

“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!“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy tiki drinks!“

“Stopped in with a friend after a metra ride. Hung out at this establishment while we waited for my phone to charge up and for Uber to come. Typical mixed bar of locals and commuters. Sports oriented. Did not check out the menu. We just ordered a beverage. Wait staff was kind, cheerful, and attentive. They have a nice patio as well. A great place to relax as you wait for a train or a great place to unwind after a day downtown and long train ride.“

“First time here this weekend. Staff was friendly and the service was fast! Especially with how busy it was. Everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time and that’s the vibe I like! Il definitely be going back.“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“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!“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere!“

“Can’t wait until you reopen“

“I just want to give a big Kudos out to the staff at Stoney's Tavern in Aurora. I was out with a group of family and friends on Friday night February 10th 2023 celebrating my birthday! We had an Amazing night.I want to thank our bartender Mel for taking such good care of our group. The service was Awesome the music was Great and she was on Point the entire night. Thank you Mel! It was a Amazing experience and we had a hell of a good time. We Absolutely will be back!“

“great place to hang out at“

“Atención excelente y la música 🎶 de piano 🎹 muy bonita.“

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

“Poor service and horrible beer. I ordered a brew dog hazy IPA and the waitress brought me some kind of red ale which is clearly not a hazy IPA. See attachment for what the beer should look like and what they brought me. Waitress does nothing to remediate the situation. Never seen such a poorly run business. Staff have bad attitudes and beer was definitely not right. Maybe it was spoiled or they substituted a cheaper product. Do not go here.“

“Great people and strong drinks! 👍🏽👍🏽“

“Excellant karaoke dj. Great food great prices, very friendly staff“

“Very good food and ambiance is great! If you like mac and cheese, definitely try the adult Mac n cheese, it's fantastic. Had the birria tacos and it was really tasty. The beer selection is absolutely insane, if you are a beer person, you have come to the right place. Check out their keg cooler, yes you can view it through glass, it's mind blowing. We will definitely come back, many other items we want to try on the menu.“

“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.“

“Great service and food! Sat in the bar area.“

“We had a great experience hosting our daughters’ party at Eden Events! The venue is absolutely beautiful, especially with its location right on the river. It creates such a gorgeous and unique setting for a celebration, and we truly couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.

The food was definitely one of the highlights of the entire event. So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night raving about how delicious everything was! Chef and owner Omar did an incredible job—not only was the food amazing, but you can tell how much care and attention he puts into every detail and into making sure his guests have a wonderful experience.

Thank you to the entire Eden Events team for making our celebration so special and memorable. We couldn’t recommend Eden Events enough. We would absolutely host another event here!“

“The most authentic experience. Fun family atmosphere. You never know who you’re going to run into on any given night, especially once you start downing one or two of those infamous margaritas! We were introduced by friends recently after never having been to Rito’s after living here for 15 years, and I feel like my family lost out on so much potential fun by not having this in our regular dinner routine. That changes now.“
