34 Best Bar & Grill near Fox River Grove

“Maybe 2 behind the bar for the weekend? We had a blast and I can handle the wait but respectfully just wanted to throw out the thought.
And the 3 stars on service is definitely not a dig on the bartender/ server but to the owners understaffing.“

“The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing will be back for sure. I met the owner super cool guy and the bartender remembered my name! They are starting to have more music events which I'm very excited about.“

“We pulled up in our boat and the staff helped us to tie up our boat.
They sat us down right away.
The wait staff was very friendly.
The Pulled Pork sandwich and the Turkey Wrap along with the Bang Bang Shrimp were delicious. Great food and Great Service 👍 👌 😀“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“Great little place to hang out and grab a burger and chat with local folks“

“Stop! If you miss it, turn around! You’ll go, “Really? Golf balls and good food?” Yep, leave the clubs home - too cold for that - and don’t whiz by without stopping for a bite. There’s a reason so many cars are parked in the lot. The locals get it. Be a local!“

“An absolute hidden gem. Great selection and atmosphere, but most of all, the people there are fantastic. The owner, Dave, is one of the nicest humans you will ever meet. It is the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular the first time you visit. Not in some corporate scripted way, just genuinely friendly but never overbearing.“

“The broasted chicken is delicious and the service is excellent. Our server and bartender was Sue, shes the best. I highly recommend having the homemade chips and broccoli cheddar, if it's the soup of the day. We look forward to coming back.“

“Had an amazing birthday party in the upstairs room. We had the taco buffet and it was delicious! Service was excellent and everything looked beautiful. They let us come in early to decorate and we were able to play our own music. I would recommend highly for a special occasion!“

“Great time … great food…. Excellent staff !!! Good job guys !!!“

“They're always friendly when i come in even though I just go for the slots I dont drink but I heard the food there is amazing. The owner supposedly got a smoker and everyone was raving about the food last time I went I believe it was brisket. Definitely go in and at least try the food but go in and win some money while your there. It's a hidden gem!“

“If you want to sit by the water and enjoy a nice night out and great snack food (Italian Beef bites) and burgers, I recommend The Longshot. Go see Lisa on Friday night and tell her Krista and Lori sent you!“

“I was there for a fundraiser last night. The food was really good, especially your salsa! Our server was attentive and kept track of our large group really well. We hadn't been there for a long time but will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.“

“They went above and beyond to make our cocktails (Dark and Stormy) when they were out of ginger beer...they went to a neighboring bar and got some! the ceviche was great too!“

“Love The Doodle! Any questions or txt us!“

“I had a chance to swing in last week and it's a nice, comfortable setting. The food was excellent if you are interested in Austrian/German bites. The people working here were super nice compared to similar tyes of places in the area. They even had a 50% off beer special going on! I will be returning for sure.“

“We decided to try this place for the first time and it turned out to be an amazing choice. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Every dish came out fresh and steaming, straight from the kitchen, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about serving quality meals. It was a fantastic visit and we are already looking forward to coming back again.“

“If you haven't tried this place, I strongly recommend it. The DAILY specials are EXCELLENT. The Chopped Salad is so gooood. Staff is friendly. An overall 5-star experience.“

“one of my favorite bars ! awesome staff , food, drinks, entertainment, even events !“

“Half price pizza & $8 pitchers $4 Bloody/Screwdriver on Sunday. Great place with great specials, I like “The Italian” specialty pizza with sausage/Italian beef/Giardiniera (add onion) it’s like $10-$11 for a Large 16” on Sunday 👌“

“Place is an amazing place to get food and have a drink. The bartenders and staff are super friendly!“

“love this place. great service and drinks. the food is well priced and delicious“

“We dined at the bar, and Anna the bartender was great! It was very busy, but she did a good job taking care of her customers. Food was great, as always. Thanks!“

“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!“

“I’ve visited here multiple years and have never been disappointed“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Docks Bar & Grill. The service was excellent, the food was good, and everything came out fast. We also really enjoyed the conversations with the bartenders — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging. I mentioned that I appreciated the TVs being on the same channel, because when multiple screens are on different channels, the flickering lights can be overwhelming for me. I’m disabled and live with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) and CPTSD, along with chronic migraines. The sunglasses I wear help reduce light sensitivity from LEDs and neon lighting, and the staff was kind, open, and understanding when I explained this. It meant a lot to be treated with respect and curiosity rather than judgment. The bartender was friendly, approachable, and handled the conversation with warmth and professionalism. Great atmosphere, great people, and a place that makes you feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back.“

“We had a wonderful experience. We’re new to the area and our waitress Lucciana really made us feel at home. This place is wonderful, There’s an enclosed area with live music, the food is awesome, and the service is amazing. Highly recommended!!!“

“Benjamin Parada and I ate dinner at Wings Etc. tonight! We pulled up to the building and called the number listed clearly on the signs, with an employee's assistance our "take out" order was placed! Ben and I talked in the car just as we would have when we were inside the restaurant. However, sitting in the car and wearing a mask felt so much safer than being in the restaurant! Our food was out to our car very quickly. Wonderful delicious and amazing are words to describe the good wings! Date nights look so different with Covid but this was a super safe and fun date night!“

“love this place eeverything about it“

“Amazing food quality. No seriously, amazing food quality guys! Put my drinks aside just to dig into the wings…. Has great vibe. Crowd is very well behaved, I feel so good sitting here right now. I have never reviewed a place on the spot but I couldn’t help myself because the food quality is awesome. Taste good, portion side good but the quality is just too good! 11/10 for this place I’m definitely coming back. I can only imagine the atmosphere on a weekend as I am awestruck on a Monday!“

“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.“

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