“All around nice country dinner. The cheese burgers are very good and breakfast is what you would expect from a dinner, it’s always tasty and served in a very timely fashion. I enjoy the biscuits and gravy. Clean bathroom and nice servers.“
“It had been many years since my visit to the charming hamlet of Hinkley Illinois. We strapped on the feed bag for an early supper so the crowd was small and the service was great. Rebecca was awesome, knowledgeable and friendly. I had their patty melt which was substantial. The "fried potato salad " had a nice mustardy/vinegary zing and a generous portion of bacon bits mixed in. Loved the Malort light fixtures...at least there is ONE redeeming quality to a bottle of Malort. The ambience is what you'd expect in a small town bar/restaurant . Across from us a couple was sharing a pizza and I tried not to be that creeper guy who stares at your food but, damn it looked really good. We will be back for sure!“
“Amazing fast service tracy was our waitress I don't how she does It but she can do multiple tables at once the way she carries trays with out dropping n just wow food came out fast and delicious we drove 45 mins we found our new Sunday after church brunch owner came to greet us mimosas was delicious n fancy looking thank you so much we will be back Tuesday for taco Tuesday“
“Had heard about this little place from ladies at church. Cute and intimate and our server was as sweet as she could be! In fact all the staff was warm and welcoming. My food was really good. What I like most was there is a Keto option on the menu! You should advertise that more widely because the completion in all the nearby areas isn't offering any option at all! This alone will bring me back again and again! I was a little surprised you don't have grits, though. It's not Keto, but I mean, who doesn't love grits?!“
“My new favorite comfort food restaurant. Their light, crispy cheese curds are a great way to start. Pizza is very good, always a good option, and the fried chicken (served on Wednesday only) is literally some of the best I've ever had. The owners and staff are so friendly, very relaxed atmosphere, which I love. Can't say enough good things about this place!“
“This was only my second time going here even though I only live 4 blocks away. The food, service and atmosphere are wonderful. The only things I can think of to improve is they were short on staff and we were there quite awhile. Also the menu doesn't describe the food, we had to ask what everything was. I guess if you are a regular you might know what chicken George, chicken Jane or smothered chicken is but we did not. The variety of desserts was amazing!“
“We love Rambos and the pizza - we always have great service except for this Friday - 65 minutes for a pizza - we almost walked out - thank goodness for the appetizers - Common Rambos - you can do better ! - We will be back, the pizza is that good and the owner is a nice guy - but that was not good experience.“
“Such a fun place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Family owned and operated. Very friendly atmosphere. I enjoy taking my wife here for lunch dates, and I'd be happy to bring the kids for a meal here when able. I'm looking forward to my next visit already!“
“Stopped in for a quick lunch with the family after the pumpkin farm. Staff was great and accommodating our larger party. Food was excellent and live music was great too! Ripped Jeans Duo was the band playing and they sounded great. Will stop by again!“
“The wife and I are looking for houses in the area and we decided we should try some of the food. This place only has 3 stars because it only has two reviews. I was surprised by the food in this place When you walk in, the place looks clean. Nothing seemed sticky. Seems like it is kind of a dive bar on the outside but when you walk in, I don't get that feeling at all. It looks like this place has a bunch of regulars as everyone knows everybody's name. You get us two weirdos from out of town but we didn't feel uncomfortable at all. We ordered cheese curds, a shrimp wrap and a pork tenderloin sandwich. Cheese curds are definitely real and not frozen. Some places you get frozen curds not here. The tenderloin sandwich had a Thai sauce which even without the sauce would have been a good sandwich. The sauce made the sandwich great. My wife had a shrimp wrap and that was also delicious. The fries had this pepper seasoning that were making them hit the spot. The waitress/bartender was pretty attentive. It was slow when we got here but told me the tenderloin was good and she was correct. She also kept our drinks full. Plus, it is just her and watching her now as the place got more crowded she is not messing around. The prices are very reasonable too. We are walking out spending 50 dollars with 5 drinks and an appetizer. That is not bad at all. If we got bottles, we would have saved more. I would recommend coming to this place. If we get a house in this area, we will be back. This place needs a better rating than 3 stars and that's why I'm rating this as I sit at the restaurant.“
“We actually had the Tomato Bisque soup, broasted chicken, pasta salad, pork tenderloin sandwich, and potato wedges. The staff was awesome and friendly and the food was fresh and very tasty.Kid-friendliness: Bar and grillWheelchair accessibility: Nice wide entrance“
“Server was super sweet and attentive. We were a party of 7. 4 littles and 3 adults. She was a dear to the littles. Listened to their orders and read them back to them to make sure. Not all servers do that a lot of them talk only to the parents so it was nice for them to feel in charge for a little while. I got a denver skillet it was pretty yummy. Kids all had the pancakes with sausage or bacon, some with and some without chocolate. Our friend had the special. Eggs, bacon and I believe biscuits and gravy. He said they were delicious. Hubby got a breakfast with all the meats cant remember what it was called. He cleared his plate. We love to stop here when were in the area.“
“Stopped in here one day after driving a friend home figured we'd grab a bite to eat , and to my surprise they had "SMELT" which I used to always have growing up and you never see that in any restaurants nowadays, so of course I ordered it and it was just as good as I can remember definitely will be going back to this place more often, everyone was very friendly“
“First time coming to this restrant the food was awesome and the service was outstanding as well, The only issue that I had was when I was going to cash out in the front noticed the girl at the register on the phone looking extremely upset. Also , I heard yelling over the phone because it was loud enough, She cashed me out happy and told me to have a great morning.“
“Mary did a fabulous job with service even though she is very busy with many guests as well. Food was great. I believe a good burger should be no more than 5$ by itself but you get what you pay for here. Good place to eat. Nice and quiet as well. I had a bacon cheeseburger and it was huge.“
“Me and my fiancé came here for the first time today after exploring antique shops in the area. The history behind this restaurant is VERYYY interesting! Love that it was inspired by Teddy Roosevelt. Highly recommend the blackened tuna filet! I will definitely come back here!“
“Went through the drive through - Nick took our order and payment. He was the most pleasant employee we have ever encountered at this type of restaurant. Blaine was super nice as well when he brought our order out to the car. Amazing experience!!“
“There is a wonderful Wisconsin type bar in Maple Park Illinois that has some of THE BEST FOOD around. WHEN we walked into LODI TAP HOUSE I instantly felt at home. I just love Wisconsin type bars and this one fits it so well with a BEER MUG CLUB WALL filled with mugs of all sorts, wood everywhere in a home style setting which made me sooo happy. We were instantly welcomed by Brittany the bar tender who told us to sit anywhere we wanted to. BRITTANY was amazing, there were several people there and she pleased everyone with her quick service, her wonderful personality and her great knowledge of the menu as the people who came in. Brittany knew her customers and catered to them accordingly. Brittany did it all up front with a smile on her face and a great laugh. We first ordered the HOMEMADE BEER BATTERED CHEESE CURDS and they were better than the ones in Wisconsin. They had a great tasting sauce with it and we asked for another one of these sauces for the burgers we ordered. WE then ordered their homemade beef soup and it was great... Lots of beef and veggie that were perfect for this soup. THEN came their burgers and WE JUST love them... I had a Tap house SMASH CHEESE BURGER double and hubby had a Blue Cheesy burger double, BOTH were incredible with flavor LOAD that exceeded my expectations. The Cheesy smash burger was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside just the way I love it. It had lots of Velveeta on it and it was wonderful with that sauce I put on is from the Cheese curds. Hubby's Blue Cheesy burger the same with lots of Blue Cheese and grilled onions on it. Both of us ordered the Fried Potato salad instead of the fries and it was wonderful. Fried potatoes chopped up nicely with and interesting cheese sauce, bacon and green onions. Everything about THE LODI TAP HOUSE MAPLE PARK is great and I cannot wait to go there again and soon. Cannot wait to see our new friend Brittany who was one of the best front restaurant worker I have ever seen. I left with a big smile on my face.“
“Great place food always fresh, best fries around. The guy in the drive thru tonight was killing it, it’s always busy and he was taking orders, running register, getting drinks, and running food by himself. Hats off to this employee and his great attitude while handling multiple jobs at one time!“
“sometimes it takes forever for the food to come out but it’s always real good. they must’ve gotten a new backliner at some point cuz the burgers used to come out all messy but now they look as good as they taste. wish they would bring back the fried chicken though it was so bomb.“
“Food is good, soft serve ice cream/hot dog type place. Order was screwed up, hence the 3 stars. Polite service. Ordered chocolate shake and got vanilla, ordered giardinara with my beef sandwich and didn’t get any. They have take away and dine in. Walk up window counter service. Cutsie old fashioned atmosphere. Route 30 old time atmosphere. They are seasonal, so check that they are still open.Kid-friendliness: Great for kids“
