“Great venue and room for our wedding shower. Staff was on point and food was excellent!“

“First Time at Nels Old Time Inn on Thanksgiving to watch the Chicago Bears.

Doesn’t look like much from the outside but it’s the total opposite in the inside!

Very cozy and well lit interior serving quality drinks at a reasonable price!

The bartender is very outgoing and makes sure all the guests are attended to.

Definitely recommend this bar to all locals for a good time!“

“Best Burger in the local area ever and excellent prices and service. Very clean too.“

“This establishment is a wonderful addition to downtown Clarendon Hills. They offer a wide variety of cocktails, wonderful selection of wine by the glass or bottle and extensive beer menu.
The owner and staff here are so friendly and welcoming. It is the perfect place to enjoy an outdoor beverage.“

“3rd time in that place . Waitress was fenomenal and friendly. It is just food with this place . Saturday nights food is good but any other day is just not good at all. I ordered a cheeseburger and the bun was cold . I did mention it to the waitress but it seems that the chef or cook does not take feedback in a good way. The lines of the beer system need to be clean and sanitized. Had a smell if you sit by the bar.“

“Daverns is a very popular bar. The staff is nice and attentive. Because of its popularity sometimes you have to wait a little bit but what can you expect on weekend when you’ve got a big crowd, live music & people enjoying themselves with a feel good atmosphere? The outdoor area is great and live music performs there during the summer months and inside during the colder months. There are bag games to play and if you want to host an adult birthday party or an event in a bar type of atmosphere this is the place to have it. They have a special event area in the back and if you like to play slots, there are some slots located in the front. While I don’t drink we have friends that do and we have been patronizing Daverns for years as our friends and my husbands bands play here . We haven’t really ordered food from here yet so I can’t review the food. I’m just reviewing the service and the atmosphere. They have specials from time to time and just really seem to me that they are all about the customers and running a great bar business. We have been treated so well every time we come which is why we keep coming back. So if you’re in the Justice area and want to stop at a great little bar/lounge give Daverns a try. .“

“Great food great service Waitresses are really nice yes I'd recommend this Restaurant Bon Apettit“

“This is a great bottle shop with a huge assortment of craft cans and rare brews, plus there's always solid beer on tap. You can make your own 4pk or grab something from the cooler to-go. Check out the 4 pinball tables on the left side ($1 per play)! There's outdoor seating when the weather is nice which makes for solid people watching. Orange & Brew is a pretty cool place and definitely worth checking out.“

“Had the Marley with chicken instead of a burger with provolone and the Korean bbq sauce and oh man…. So good; I can’t wait to try more things out! Pretty chill atmosphere too, looking forward to checking out the patio in the warmer weather. Highly recommended and I’ll be going back and back and back again.“

“Great place food good and good drink for cheap prices. Erin is a great guy and makes everyone feel welcome he cooks good food and makes great drinks“

“This has been our go to place for Friday dinner for over a year now. It’s a bit of a drive from our house but it’s well worth it. Their burgers are outstanding. We had a party for my birthday here a few years ago with about 25 people and they did an awesome job. Everyone was happy. Liana and Natalie are our favorite servers. They both do an awesome job and always go above and beyond. They see us come in and our drinks are on the table shortly after that. The popcorn is pretty good too. Great food, great atmosphere, very friendly staff. Wolfs Head is definitely one of our favorite places.“

“All around great place! I have had thousands of chicken tenders in my time but these take the cake. These were the best chicken tenders I have ever had, the fries were crispy and good. I usually don't like Coleslaw but I love this. This place has the best waitress ever, she was so nice and always on top of everything! The atmosphere was also legit one of the best I've been in in a long time. I love this place! It was 100% worth ever cent and no joke I would take the 8 hour drive again for this place!“

“Love this place! Classic dive bar and I mean that in the best possible way. I stop in with my friend Keith who is somewhat of a regular. Next thing you know, I'm volunteering to check IDs at the 100th Anniversary bash. They make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. A must stop for anyone who loves old school bars.“

“Great joint, cash only. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great, welcoming, neighborhood joint. Good grub!! Can't go wrong!“

“I threw my Dads 70th bday here and everything was great! Jimmy whom is the owner was very accommodating & was very helpful with parking and making sure my guests were taken care of! I would definitely come back here to do another party! Thanks again for helping us to make my Dads party a great success!“

“I can't rate the food because I've never eaten here, but this is a great little dive bar. Staff is friendly, the music is always great, and plenty of parking.

Parking: Parking behind the bar and plenty of street parking across the street.“

“Great neighborhood bar where you can relax and habe a good time. Awesome owner and staff. The menu is on the small side but the food is always good. There's never any trouble and that's why we've been coming here for so many years.“

“Such a nice wine shop! Went to the thanksgiving Wine tasting and it was 30 wines for $25 and a fantastic savory spread.
Very nice clean bathrooms
Great ambience
Would recommend
Wines in the wine tasting ranged in price from like $15-$80 and they had some very interesting limoncellos too.“

“This was my first time at Kona Grill. The food was great! We ate on the outside patio which was lovely. We also ate from the Happy Hour menu which was a great deal. Wish it included drinks, that started at 4p and we were there from 2:30p - 4p. Had the tuna and crab rolls, Gyoza and edamame. Just yum!!!“

“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.“

“This is not your typical ‘bar food’. Everything we have tried there is higher quality Restaurant Food. Bartenders … especially Artie and Kristy are attentive, efficient and fun ! The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.“

“The local craft beer selection is diverse enough to satisfy basically any beer fan. I loved the bacon and jalapeño mac and cheese, and I want to take bottles of the fried pickle dipping sauce home! The bartender Jim was very knowledgeable and handled a very busy bar extremely well. I'm looking forward to my next visit!“

“Just tried the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and corn. Haven't had it in a long time and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Very very yummy. And thank God the mashed potatoes were made from real potatoes. Definitely tasted home made. Prices are very good as well. I'll try few more dished in the coming weeks but right now 5 stars.“

“My friend and I randomly walked into cravens and ended up staying for hours. The vibe was so friendly. Everyone was kind, but I can’t say enough great things about the bartender Kelly!!! She was attentive and made us feel right at home. We will be back !“

“😃Great atmosphere. great local hangout. great food. Great, personable bartender. Good suggestions about specials and food choices. Bartender Maria is the reason I go back. Management should provide additional help and training. for the servers/bartenders. Maria is the only bartender / server for the entire bar and restaurant. Too much for one person. Would like to know what documented training is provided for their Audio /Visual systems, and other expectations. Not all A/V/ systems are the same. Comments are negative about which TV stations should be assigned. That is Management's responsibility to train. Management is at fault. I love this restaurant if it is run the way it should.“
