“Great place for sand volleyball tournaments! We enjoyed watching all the games take place and wish we had enough people interested in making a team. The food was good and the atmosphere was fun!

Parking: During busy volleyball nights, it was crowded and little parking available.“

“Went here a couple times while in town for work. Some of the best food I have had in a long time!! Best pretzel I think I’ve ever had. Will be back if in town!!“

“Great food, friendly staff, low prices…what’s not to love?“

“Voted best dive bar in Illinois - this place is everything you dreamed of....cans/bottles only, more stuff to look at than the Smithsonian and a crooked floor. If you're looking for a swanky bar, get the fxck outta here - this is the ultimate dive, and I love this place. Ian and team are top notch.

Vegetarian options: Busch Light“

“Great old time tavern to have a drink and some eats. Friendly folks and good service“

“This was exactly the vibe that I was looking for for a nice meal before Christmas. I’ve never been to Deer Path but I am so glad I went. The cocktails were great, the service was fantastic and the food was delicious. I loved the fireplace vibes too.“

“If Cheers was in Lake Bluff, it would be Prairie. Each member of the staff has a unique and inviting personality who makes each visit feel personal, inviting, and small town. The regulars are split between morning and evening hours, with a few floaters. We welcome folks to the community, catch up on happenings, and bring a little joy each day. Mandy, the chef, compiles an amazing array of food items, from cinnamon rolls and coffee cakes, to casseroles and egg sandwiches during the morning, and a variety of sandwiches in the afternoons. The spot has outdoor seating on the sidewalk, as well as a dedicated secluded covered alley space with ample seating and ambience. Summertime events include covered alleyway cookouts and inclusion of other local businesses for special bites. Evenings can feature a quiet bar, karaoke, or live music. With a recently announced addition of Jeff Urso, a local restauranteur, to the ownership, 2024 is anticipated to be a great year for Prairie. Would highly recommend checking out this local gem.“

“Really enjoyed the drinks and sandwiches here!!! Lisa was really great and very nice!!! 😊“

“Great place to watch sports, have team parties, play sim golf and hang out with friends. Great open air atmosphere with their new garage style doors that they open during warm weather. Food is good and atmosphere is great. Local owners that truly love and support their community.“

“What a great local place. Just had one of the best fried chicken dinners tonight. Homemade soups and dinners are always top notch. 😋“

“My favorite pizza in the area! Gluten-free friendly, amazing food and even better service. I had a large pickup order today for myself and my family and when I arrived the kitchen manager came out to describe that they had to restart one of the pizzas, offering to let me go now with the rest of my order - plus the messup free for extra snackage - and that he would come deliver the remake himself in a bit so I didn’t have to wait. The entire staff was so friendly, kind and accommodating during the pickup and communication process. If you haven’t had Kaisers, what’re ya doin??“
