“AL’s is a great spot to get a bite to eat! The burgers and shake are a match made in heaven :) had the Swiss mushroom burger and the blue cheese one also! The fries are perfect to dip in the shake also ;) I will forsure be back to try it again in the “
“Always busy but the wait is never too long. Enjoy the piano while you wait and bask in all the good smells from the kitchen :)We recently moved to the area and Lauralee has been our server twice and she is amazing. Her service is second to none. The manager was going to all the tables checkin on everyone and she genuinely cared about any and all feedback. She gave us good vibes and that she truly enjoyed working there, which always makes me happy to see. Even her staff seems to love working there. One server said he worked at the other location and this one is much better and I could tell he meant it.The food was amazing. The fresh squeezed OJ, bacon, sausage, and omg those pancakes with the cinnamon butter are nothing short of perfection. I would be interested to try a lunch option here one day but the breakfast is too good. I'm not a big egg person but they have great options if you are. Recently, we tried the biscuits and gravy and that had a good balance of flavor. The hash browns are golden, brown, and delicious as they should be also they are salted perfectly. I hate it when places don't do a little salt and pepper seasoning. It's a must! However, don't you dare skip on those roasted potatoes because they pack some flavor. It's exactly how you want them.This will be our regular spot and we will ask for Lauralee every time because she is such a sweetheart and a damn good server!“
“What can I say! The food is ALWAYS on point but today it was Tyler. He was kind and he took great care of us and all of our food preference's. We just loved his sweet soul and was the icing on the cake. When you come to Brianna’s you MUST ask for Tyler.“
“Nice quiet restaurant where I can finally have a conversation with my lovely wife . Decided to try this place on Valentine's day . Had a very good experience. We had the chopped house salad , surf and turf plate which turned out EXCELLENT! The casino clams were ok . So glad we tried the gelato and chocolate mouse cake ! They were very very Good ! Our waitress Olivia was great ! We will definitely be back !“
“I have lived in Elgin going on 5 years.There are not many places to eat around Elgin that the wife and me have not been to.we have been to Paul's for breakfast numerous times and have enjoyed it. This past Saturday evening we were tired and did not feel like driving far, so we thought we would give Paul's a try for dinner. We both were pleasantly surprised! My wife got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy.Her food was flavourful and she got a nice portion. She was also happy that they had French dressing,as a lot of restaurants just don't carry it.I had a full slab of ribs, juicy,tender, smothered in sauce, and fall off the bone. My new go to rib spot in Elgin! Most places have soup or salad, I got both at Paul's.I would strongly suggest the cream of chicken and rice.For my salad, I was surprised to see they had my raspberry vinegeret dressing, which a lot of places don't carry. My go to place in the area was Village Tavern, not any more! Waitress was funny,friendly,outgoing,and attentive.“
“We got there when they first opened and our service was great. I’ve been places that act out off by the arrival of customers upon first opening so I am appreciative that was not the case. We drive for a living so getting to stop and eat somewhere is a treat. This spot is connected to a hotel so the parking may be minimal depending on what they have going on. We’re in a 40’ straight truck and still found parking with a full lot. Being that it was my first time I’d never had the Hawaiian chicken before. It reminded me of burbon chicken, which I am not a fan of. I asked if they could remake the chicken without the marinade and there was no issue. Don’t let that discourage you from trying the Hawaiian I’m just a super picky eater. The rice pilaf and broccoli were great! Check your water cups because I didn’t catch mine til later into my drink that it had some floaties at the bottom. I had no toddlers with me to cause this. I did let my waitress know and she took care of it and informed me she switched water sources. I mention this so anyone with an issue isn’t hesitant to bring it respectfully to their attention and they too will respectfully address and fix the problem. No yelling or fits are necessary. Now that we know this place is here and we can fit our truck we will be sure to try more dishes in the future should we return to this area. Thank you to the hostess and the rest of the staff for taking such good care of us.“
“Perfect little stop in when you're wandering around the downtown Elgin area for things like the farmer's market. Decent selection of booze and mixed drinks, really good prices, and carry-out cups for wandering. What more can you ask for?“
“I have been to this location in Elgin. I have been there five or six times in the last week. It gets very busy on Friday nights, Saturday nights. And Sunday afternoons. That's to be expected at Culver's. When I arrived, I was greeted when i walked through the door. I ordered my food, a double sourdough melt with deep fried cheese curds. it was delicious. A few days passed, and I returned to the culver's in Elgin. I ordered a double butter burger. Chili cheese, fries, and a scoop with hot caramel and banana. These were also very good. I received my food promptly. Every part of my order was hot and fresh. I have no complaints to state about Culver's.“
“Stumbled across EPH doing a random Google maps search and I'm glad I did! They have an expansive menu of pub foods that surely would satisfy practically anyone. I had the Cajun chicken sandwich with goat cheese on a pretzel bun. The breast was huge and quite tasty. The goat cheese was interesting; not exactly my first choice but I didn't mind the outside my comfort zone choice. I paired it with Cajun fries for the perfect spicy combo. My wife had the Fiesta chicken, minus the bun, which she said she enjoyed. Definitely plan to go back and try more items on the menu.“
“I was here last night with the guys…no complaints at all. Service was great, food was pretty good for a sports bar and just at-home vibe all night. I had the all-you-can-eat fish fry and Sam Adam’s drink special, yummy!Would definitely come back!“
“Everything was delicious. The pizza was divine. The crust was perfectly done. The service was excellent. Loaded with meat. So good. We had the family pizza. We also had jalapeño poppers and breasticks. Yummy. We had delivery, and we received it in less time than was stated for delivery. Best pizza ever.“
“I've ordered dozens of times since my original post from my first visit. The service is always excellent, cook time is quick, food is delicious consistent and filling. This is now our favorite go-to taco spot. Love the pastor tacos and my daughter loves the kids quesadilla.“
“First time eating here, The service was great, food great. We had cheese curds to start which were good then Optimus brave burger, this was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, the pretzel bun was fresh l, homemade and you can tell. We also had the Elote shrimp tacos, you get 3 huge tacos filled with shrimp and Elote. Definitely returning to try more from their menu.“
“I really enjoyed this family restaurant. The service was great and the food was very good. I had the Southern Eggs Benedict, and it was great. My daughter had the homemade chicken tenders and they were very good too. Overall, everyone else enjoyed their food too. Will definitely be back. Did I mention they've lowered their prices during this ridiculous inflation? Support this place, it's an example of our great Elgin community!“
“One of the best burgers I've had discovered in the dirtiest, dingiest underground joint imaginable. Comparable to restaurant quality burgers at the price of a regular fast food combo. Wait time being mere minutes compared to a 20-30 minute wait at other restaurants. Wow. Pure bliss. Staff were also real friendly!“
“The food was good. The atmosphere was loud, but that's to be expected at a sports bar. The staff was friendly. The free popcorn was a nice touch.The food was very overpriced based on what you're ordering. Covid pricing hit this place hard.“
“The bartenders Brett and Maggie are amazing I go on they shift every now and then if I'm not working. I'll have a drink or 2 and be done. They Make the drinks so bomb! I always normal ask what they suitor suggest and or surprise I'm never disappointed! I'm not a big drinker and I'm always happy with what I get. Maggie also suggested a lunch for me which was a chicken picata however it's spelled and omg also money worth! I feel that I can def call Maggie and Brett a good friend of mines! As much as I use to come for dinner with my family or lunch dates with my ex husband I wish I met them a while back also the bloody Mary is like wow it's really hard to find a good bloody Mary. Thank you for always providing an amazing service when I go there! Chef is amazing as well“
“First of all the waitress we had tonight was amazing. Me and my family can’t remember her name but it was her first day and she was great! The food was great as well and no long wait time at all. Lastly there was a hostess and we didn’t catch her name either but she had an amazing vibe and was just so sweet and even held the door open for me and my family when leaving. Definitely a great staff and made me and my family so happy for those small things! Overall an incredible experience.“
“Came here on a Saturday for lunch with my son before a musical at Elgin High School. The food was awesome. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and had a replacement beverage at the ready as soon as we finished one. The owner came over and chatted with us a little before we left and it was just an overall great experience. Prices were very reasonable and the close proximity to the casino would make this a great dinner and drinks option before heading there to try your luck.Parking: Have no fear. Parking is plentiful.Kid-friendliness: They have an awesome looking bar but plenty of booths and tables that are kid friendly.“
“Second time dinning here and again the food was hot super fast and everyone was hustling .waited at most 10 min if that for hash and eggs pancakes bacon and more in a packed restaurant . Kristina was an amazing waitress so was Vanessa on our last time in. Shout out to Santos for hustling and making sure the tables were set and ready for the waitresses he made sure my coffee was never empty. Thanks for breakfast guys!!!“
