39 Best American Restaurants near Elburn

“Tasty! Lots of options! The whole family loves it!“

“This is the 2nd time we've been here. It was alright. The tots were amazing. Other than that, we know they were shorthanded, but it was 3 of us and another party of 5. It seemed odd that the owner would leave the restaurant understaffed. We sat near the open garage door. It was a nice day but the elderly lady, who clearly didn't need a cigarette, stood right in front. I'm also not a huge fan of non-service animals walking through a place that serves food. The server is friendly and as attentive as she could be considering the situation.“

“Had a lovely early dinner here with my family on a Saturday. We were sat on the patio right away, and it wasn’t too busy. Burgers and fries were good and my Caprese Chicken Wrap was fresh. Food and cocktails all came out pretty quickly. No complaints!“

“The food and service was excellent! Easily one of our favorite restaurants! We definitely will be back soon!“

“First time for everything deep-fried pickles, AMAZING!!! Chicken fettuccine with grilled chicken was smooth and creamy. Fresh warm bread and butter with a crispy salad. I'll be back 100%. We ate outside, and the server was AWSOME. A young man who made sure we had what we needed.“

“Everything we ordered was exceptional, including the best cheese curds ever and chocolate chip cake that ticks every box (and then some). Our waitress was so fun and treated us like family. We were only passing by on I-88 but the side trip was totally worthwhile. Thanks for being awesome, Lodi Tap House!“

“prices are reasonable! But the staff are so nice. Food is delicious and I feel very safe in Sugar Grove!“

“Great service everyone here it’s super friendly I eat here at least twice a week“

“Great chicken fingers!!! But if someone in charge could please fix the menu on DoorDash for the mozzarella sticks? It says it comes with marinara sauce, but then makes you select from a list of sauces and marinara is not a choice. So one time I just picked a different sauce and got that sauce and not the marinara and the other time I picked no sauce and didn’t get anything. So if marinara sauce could be added to the sauce selection so there’s no confusion that would be wonderful.“

“Just don't rely on the app waitlist...when you get this message: You're next in line to be seated! Please head to the host stand now. Enjoy your brunch! Text "cancel" if your plans change. DONT EXPECT YOUR NAME TO BE CALLED....standing next to the host stand waiting to be called, not text, standing 3 feet away....I finally looked at my phone and I was cancelled...warning keep your heads on your phone, impersonal but it's the way it is.“

“First time at Open Range…Katie was our waitress…very nice and attentive! Will be back!“

“Live music outside - can’t beat it! Love spending Sunday afternoons in their great outdoor space listening to fun bands and enjoying cold beers.“

“Food is deliciously prepared. Servers are courteous and in a friendly mood! 👏🏽🤝“

“Might be the best omelette I’ve ever had…. I’m full right now and it kinda hurts. Lotta food (Ozempic girlies watch out) and you gotta eat it all. Perfectly seasoned red skins and the cinnamon butter on the pancakes…. Dude. I’m not high but I wish I was for this. Order the Alexander omelette you won’t regret it.“

“We've been going there for awhile and lately it just seems like a better place! Best service, food quality is better, drinks are great, and very reasonable!“

“This is my favorite place to hangout. Just a suggestion: More delicious Buffalo sauce on my traditional, naked, wet, bone in, Buffalo wings. Please?“

“My family and I had a burial service at a cemetery in Maple Park this past Saturday 6/7. We were expecting around 20 people to attend. We planned on going to Bootleggers for lunch afterword. My daughter called the Monday before and set everything up. Gave them the number of people and what time we would be there. We arrived and they had no idea that we were coming. Whomever took the phone call on Monday didn't relay the info to the Saturday staff. All that being said, our server, I did not get her name, crushed it. She had the whole place to wait on, and she did a fantastic job. She didn't get frustrated (at least at what I could tell), she kept our drinks refilled. She was great. The only issue was the made my wife's sandwich wrong, but that is not the servers fault. She corrected the problem and all was well. I can not say enough good things about this server. You have a good one with her, let me tell you.
The only bummer, pizza was not available for lunch.

“We used to come here, many years ago, then ventured elsewhere. We came back last month, and was pleasantly surprised with the food quality, and prompt service. We now do dine in, and carry out. No issues whatsoever...all good. Pub is now on our regular weekend circuit.“

“Been here numerous times and this Culvers consistently has great Butterburgers! I do not get their custard (Ironic, I know) but I've heard it's good. When it's busy or during rush hour, the wait can be very long but I understand why!“

“I love Currito!!! This is my favorite place ever! I have told so many friends and co workers to go! My boyfriend and friends love it to. This place is my first choice if I’m hungry!“

“Our server was amazing and so was the food.“

“Great consistent tasting food, great service every time and fair prices! Highly recommend!!“

“Very good meal and extremely attentive service. We had the 2 for $32 Bourbon street chicken and shrimp. It had a good flavor and the chicken was very tender. The carafe of Tito's strawberry lemonade was tasty and was a good value. I enjoyed the tomato basil soup as well.“

“Great place to watch NFL football. 30+ TV’s to watch ALL the games, not just those on network channels.“

“Annabelle provided exceptional service during our visit to Chili’s. She was the most attentive server we’ve had in a long time, ensuring our drinks never went empty and tending to everything we needed with a great attitude. Her efficiency and friendliness made our dining experience outstanding. More servers should be like Annabelle—she is a valuable employee, and Chili’s should do whatever it takes to keep her happy. Excellent service like hers is rare these days, and it truly enhances the overall experience. The food was also excellent, making for an all-around great visit.

“I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, it’s classic American fast food at its finest just wish they were still open late so I could come more. Just came today 02/03/25 and the drive through operator was quick, kind, and professional despite how busy she was :) give that lady a raise!“

“The setting and the food are the same at every location. Never a disappointment, and always has a game on the TV. Love this place.

Vegetarian options: Plenty

“The food is delicious, instead of waiting to order you can go and get the food already made, there are signs to show where the seafood, meats, vegetables and desserts are, average service when it is full but in the part where you wait for the meat to be cooked, delicious desserts there are cakes, cookies, gelatin and much more! The beautiful atmosphere has background music and the lights make you feel at home, there are also signs in the part where the tables are where you sit to eat where they tell how to make one of the meals

Vegetarian options: There is a large vegetable section.

Kid-friendliness: Most foods are also for children such as meats, desserts, vegetables and sodas.“
