“First experience with this establishment was delivering their order of groceries from Uber … I was quite surprised how clean and kept up the place looks… besides gaming there is a pool table and a dart board that’s separate from the gaming area… complete full bar… and they specialize in a variety of Rum Buckets… I thought this place had a vibe that most bars lack these days… I took the initiative and asked if they were hiring… luck was on my side and I was offered a job… management takes pride in making sure the atmosphere is comfortable for all patrons as well as his employees here, Charley’s and Shelly’s of Sycamore ..thankful everyday of being part of this family“

“Terrible bar, crowd, and security. Don't expect to get in depending on who's working security. sometimes you can get in late on a Monday but they won't let you in the same time on a Saturday. The crowd is the worst part of the neighborhood coming out and the bartenders are slow unless you know them. Go to Hometown or go to Sycamore, any bar in sycamore is better than this place. Especially Cub and Spanks“

“We stopped here after our son’s graduation from NIU this past Saturday afternoon. We had a party of 11 and showed up unannounced. The staff went above and beyond to get us all seated as soon as they were able. The host consistently kept us informed of table status. Once we were seated, we had drink orders taken immediately. Meal orders shortly after. The incredible staff all worked fast to bring us our salads and soups, and then our entrees arrived in no time. Everything was accurate and delicious. The staff were top notch, professional, friendly and worked hard. We had a wonderful experience to celebrate this special milestone for our son. Thank you, Chili’s of Dekalb!“

“I LOVE the salads, they are huge! They taste great, it's always good. I had our entire soccer team head over there after a winning game & I'm so glad that we did. The restaurant accommodated us so quickly and things went super smooth for having such a large group there & last minute. Every server was nice & helped when we weren't even their table. That says a lot. Thanks for having us 😁“

“Great place!!! Very friendly staff and amazing games! ❤️🎰🍺“

“Inside 4 seasons bowling alley, they have whatever you need to quench your thirst, try your hand at shuffle board or on the pool tables or maybe you can get lucky playing slots. Popcorn often offered for free and a Small eatery inside the alley for a bigger appetite. Highly recommend a stop, bowling or not.“

“The best mexican restaurant around! We have been to many Mexican restaurants and none are better!“

“Great burgers“

“We bought my parents a nice bowling ball for Christmas. Came here to bowl. Ball kept getting stuck. The workers blamed the drilling. Blamed everything else but the lanes. Yet a worker had to sit back and get balls out because of their balls and ours. Said the balls just kept rolling in the back. One of the workers tried to accused us of keeping the balls in a cold area when we sat here for 45 minutes waiting fora lane. My dad bowled at Mardi Gras lanes without issue. We will not be going back here even if someone paid us.“
