50 Best Bar & Grill near Elk Grove Village

“the owner is amazing! my first time ordering here, I thought i placed the order for delivery, instead it was for pickup. I called and the owner answered, I explained i didn't have a car at the moment and he personally delivered the order himself. I tried to give him a tip and he refused. the food was great and still hot by the time we received it. we will definitely be ordering again! thank you so much!“

“Food was excellent, the service was prompt and friendly. You could really see the connection the staff has with the customers just seemed like a great place to grab some food and entertainment. Highly recommend!“

“We have always enjoyed VT but this was poorly managed. We came in on a Wednesday and ask to sit at a booth. The booth they sat us at was right next to a party they had going on. And people were standing right at the edge of the booth and was extremely loud. Why they didn't put the party separated in the empty section by the bar would be more appropriate. It seems they were over the limit on the one side. So we asked to move to a booth that was empty. They said we couldn't move to that booth as it wasn't open. Needless to say we took our business elsewhere.“

“My neighborhood meeting place. Great food, drinks, people, and atmosphere“

“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“I noticed the photos of various legends displayed on the walls. The owner, Jeremiah, was very friendly. I love egg rolls. I was impressed with the variety of egg rolls on the menu. I ordered the philly egg roll and the j*** chicken egg roll. They were both very tasty. I will return to try others.“

“Alley 64 has a great menu, a fun an accommodating staff! We had a semi-surprise party in their back room! They were so helpful, let us set up early, refrigerated a cake for us, had appetizers out super quick! There was probably about 40 of us and the bartenders/waiters were awesome… it was a huge success! Definitely think of Alley 64 for a group/party options!“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“Great Drinks and Food is delicious!“

“The food is great. Their Cream of Chicken soup is the greatest. Next time. I’m going to order a quart to go. Corned beef is excellent. Sliced very thin as it should be. Service couldn’t be better. Just wish I lived closer. But I will be back!“

“Went here for lunch and had the appetizers. Excellent! Met Noreen who is super nice. Felt very comfortable here. Neat neighborhood cafe and bar.“

“Stopped in after a gig with my band….cool place to hang!“

“Great food with friendly staff“

“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.“

“I told my friends about this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this place often. This recommendation is always successful. The the cooking is fantastic and the crew is generous and cooperative. Whenever we visit this place we enjoy a gorgeous evening. warmly recommended.“

“Great place to play pool have some cocktails and game.“

“If your flight takes you through Chicago, you have to stop in the O'Hara Bar & Grill. You'll receive excellent service, meet new and friendly patrons, and get a wonderful drink plus a bite to eat. Margaritas in the morning? Yep! Prices are comparable for airport stop thru restaurants. Just make sure you have time or you'll miss your flight! Hahaha“

“I was just there I've never seen this. what the dub on Tuesday was such fun. I really think that you'd have fun. What The Dubs??? where a part of a movie is on screen you have to pick you own style.to finish the movie scene. so much fun we all had a great time.“

“I Travel frequently for work, i got. A local tip about this place and man. It did not disappoint anytime. I'm in the area. I will come back. I tried multiple dishes over multiple days. And they were all to die for the owner has a way around the grill and smoke. The beef ribs were delicious. I'm from Texas and man.The barbecue compares to home definitely going to hit this spot up anytime I move there“

“It’s a fun out going place“

“If you're looking for FRESH food and not from a package out of the deep freezer than this is the place to grab you a HOT, FRESH breakfast!
My favorite item for breakfast is the Breakfast plate. It contains two eggs made your way, bacon (4 stripes) , or sausage, red quarter cut potatoes sautéed, and two pieces of toast. Price is about $13 and some change. TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

I also love to order their breakfast sandwhich. Select either bacon or sausage, egg made your way, and cheese.

Also, if you order a buttery toasty grilled cheese sandwich it automatically comes with French fries!!!
Again, TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
So, head to gate F16 and go check out my FAVORITE place when in ORD, SKYBRIDGE!!
Enjoy!!“

“Great vibe, good drinks and the music is always awesome !!! -VSL“

“Just moved here to des plaines and cannot be more appreciative of any bar, this one by far is my favorite, the ppl, the drinks the food, and the exquisite service.. there is nothing ‘at 7 bar’ doesn’t give to their customers! Michelle is amazing and does her job as if she is two people, idk how, but she makes it happen!“

“Food and service was amazing!“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, nice staff. but... on 11/20/24 there were THREE cover all bingo winners - only one won the trip... each winner should have got a trip to Vegas. How often do you have multiple winners in a coverall, let alone three of them????“

“saludos De parte de sonido #TIMBALA“

“Me and my family flew for Christmas and ate here. Ricardo was very friendly and was an amazing bartender. We flew again two months later and he recognized me and my father before I sat down. Great server, great drinks, and we make it a point to visit every layover.“

“BBQ Burger was delicious ! Fries that came with pretty ordinary however . Drink was a bit weak but believe the waitress made it as I saw no regular barkeep“

“Today I sat at the bar to have a drink between flights. A discreetly drunk woman casually stumbled up to the bar.

The bartender tells her she could only have a “seltzer” water.. then she asks for wine.. He said sorry I only have a “seltzer water but I’ll give you a lime on it”.

The way this bartender completely diffused a drunk lady without any problems in the bar. He was so extremely professional and preemptive in his work.. Good on him for reading the room and holding it down. I think his name was Oscar.“
