“A hidden gem!! My first time coming here staff was very friendly Kylie our server was a ray of sunshine! Food was. 9.5 I had the meatloaf nice portions and the cream of chicken soup is a must try very fresh and full of flavor !! I will be back !!“

“The karaoke on Sunday is a lot of fun! The man who runs it has a lot of music! In the beginning if it is slow he will let people do a few songs in a row. But he is also very fair. So once it’s getting busy he will space it out and get everyone in but I have never been to a place that would allow that. He is a great singer himself so I guess he enjoys taking care of people and allowing them to warm up when it’s slow. That’s cool! And the people who come are damn good singers and nice. There are no divas here but some damn good talent. A rare gem!“

“Love this place! Great atmosphere! Great people! Great Music!“

“This place is great! I come here often because my boyfriend plays music here with his bands. The food is amazing! The fries are my favorite. There’s also a really great server here every time I come. I don’t know his name, but he has long black hair that is usually tied back. He’s really nice to me. And he doesn’t judge me for my neurodivergent tendencies lol like wearing sound canceling headphones and stimming. He’s my favorite person that works here. Also, my boyfriend enjoys playing here. It’s beautiful inside and out. It’s really clean too. It also doesn’t get too crazy here. It’s family friendly. I’m not sure what ages are allowed, but I’ve seen some kids in here before. Highly recommend this place!

Edit: the servers name is Eric!! Request him!!!“

“One of my favorite neighborhood watering holes in Elmhurst. Ideally located on Spring Road just north of the prairie path, it's a perfect and low-key place to stop for a bite and beer or whisky. My dog loves this place and its servers even more than I do.“

“Great good, cold beer, good service!“

“Great bartenders and drink specials, along with food by Ruben.“

“I stopped by this place while waiting for an oil change nearby. The layout of the restaurant was really fun — you can see the ice rink right next to it, which felt straight out of a high school movie. I loved the classic American diner vibe. It wasn’t too crowded, which made it feel even more local and cozy.

There were claw machines and candy dispensers here and there, which added to the charm. The server was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered a drink, some chili, and a burger. The food wasn’t amazing, but it was decent. Overall, it’s a very chill place. I feel like it’d be a fun spot to stop by once in a while to grab a drink and hang out with a friend.“

“Our party of four had an amazing time. The place is very busy and in demand. Tons of awesome beers to choose from and the food is so delicious! Parking was a bit of a challenge but we had time to find a spot as out wait time was about 40 min. 😞, due to demand!“

“great spirits and beers good food and entertainment its awesome“

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

“We held a celebration of life for my brother here today. About 50 in attendance in the stylish, comfortable upstairs area. Despite the fact that I planned this from 400 miles away and without having ever seen the venue, it went off without a hitch due to Mr. David Candiotti and his staff. No surprises. Everything was as promised. The venue is extremely stylish and rustic. Food was delicious and plentiful as were the drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly thanks to Mona, Alberto and Olena. I highly recommend.“

“Am recommending shan a han's food and spirit to everyone in the world amazing platform!“

“Excellent drinks and fun atmosphere“

“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.“

“Do you like Guinness? Do you like Wagu burgers? Rafferty"s is now serving 1/3 lbs burgers that combine these awesome flavors!!“
