27 Best Bar & Grill near Elgin

“So if I order a cocktail “neat” with rocks on the side I am sure he would charge again for the rocks. Better yet….just include the $2 rocks charge in the drink itself ….don’t put a separate $2 charge for ICE!“

“Been going there for years. Good food. Good beer. However, was told no dogs allowed and had to bring mine home even though I see them all the time up there in the summer (outside) and there are 4 dogs outside now. I can see not allowing them in the wooden patio but on the grass? Then to pick and choose who can or can’t? Despite this, I would recommend and have.“

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“While traveling to Chicago, I had an opportunity to visit Rookies Sports Bar & Grill. The service was very good and my waiter was very helpful with picking out some great dishes for us to try. From the fish to the ribs and salad. I have no complaints as everything was good. Cooked to perfection and the overall cost was reasonable. I look forward to another visit.“

“Best bar pizza in town, loaded with toppings and cooked to perfection! Always a great time due to the great environment.“

“I can’t share my experience there but I ordered off of uber eats and the food is amazing! The price first had me sketchy thinking it wasn’t going to be good lol because how is it this cheap and the quality is better than a place I would pay over 25$ for. The ribeye steak sandwich is amazing cooked to perfection. The fries and cheese were so good and so was the cheesecake! I definitely am going to take the kids out here one day. My food was piping hot and amazing! Definitely going to be a returning customer 100000/10 I will be back🫶“

“Went to Chick and Pig for our first dinner last night. The atmosphere reminded me of one of our favorite BBQ restaurants in another state. You can order your selections online, at the counter or at the bar. The menu has a wide variety of BBQ meats and side dishes. We ordered the smoked pulled chicken, loaded fries and mac and cheese. All were outstanding. Incredibly flavorful, excellent portion sizes and prices that are the best in the area. The self service style is a plus for our dining experience. I enjoy spending my money on the food and drinks versus supplementing underpaid servers at full service restaurants.“

“Just picked a random restaurant while moving our college kid into his apartment. Had no idea but the food was fantastic and Rhonda our server was fabulous!!! We are all looking forward to the next time we are in town and my college kid can’t wait to bring friends!“

“Nice and homey. Wonderful staff and the Owner is AWESOME!!!!!“
