“True Italian cooking in a bar like setting, has a private side room away from the bar and outdoor seating weather permitting. Long time established bar that has been remodeled to make it more family friendly.Parking: Newly asphalt parking lot that can get full, but street parking is close by.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spots right by entrance and no stairs inside.“
“Finally a place where we can get an amazing burger! OMGosh —— simply amazing! And then there was the Italian Beef and BLT that went by. ?? Well be back to try those! Kudos to the “chef” in the kitchen!So back to Nicks Tavern - my brothers and their friends used to come here and rave about it! Can’t believe it took me this long. Old world charm!! The bartender Noel was absolutely fantastic from the hello when we walked in until the moment we left! It felt like home here at Nick’s! And the regulars - oh the regulars! Yes! Loved it!!! And if we could give move than a 5 stars - we would! Go to Nick’s Tavern - you won’t be disappointed!!“
“I love this Family-owned business and especially that it is owned by a veteran. My family has been coming here for years, and my go to was always the Shrimp tacos! My last time in with a friend I tried a Burger. I highly recommend The Burgatory. Goat cheese on a burger- Who knew? It's drool-worthy. The other new addition I'm obsessed with is the Fried Pickles and Cheese curds appetizer. Why has no one else thought to combine these two before? And their homemade pie is unbeatable! New flavor each week. The staff is fabulous and these guys just celebrated 15 years in business. Cheers to Ellyn's Tap & Grill.“
“They only serve lunch only during the weekdays (no dinner and no weekends). However it is the best lunch around! It's like your mom went in the kitchen and made it for you. Soups are made from scratch and they are delicious. The BLT on rye is outstanding. And if they have it, you have to try the potato salad. This is a bar with a Northwoods atmosphere that has affordable prices but there are some tables to sit at. They also have a Friday fish special.“
“The James Joyce is a local treasure. It’s the epitome of an Irish pub; friendly, good service, and a social gathering place. The owners have made it this way, and they will come by to meet you and welcome you. They have events like the upcoming “1/2 way to St Patrick’s Day”, and it’s absolutely worth coming by for a pint. Sláinte?“
“This place is truly a hidden gem. We were recommended to check this spot out by a local bartender, and we are so glad we did! The ambiance was really chill and non pretentious. Our mixologist, David, was super personable and well versed in his craft. He’s bringing experience from cocktail programs in the city to the burbs! It was a cute little spot that gave speakeasy vibes. We initially thought we were underdressed, but this place wasn’t booshie at all, and there was no judgement like some places. The cocktails were creative and well balanced. I’m so glad we have a place like this nearby. We will definitely be back soon!Update:We just went back because of our previous experience. I brought a group of 10 (all industry people). We spent over 1k as a group for my friend’s 40th bday. I raved about this place only to feel unwelcome in the end. A young female bartender tells us we were too loud. Honestly, we obviously had a lot to drink, but nobody was being reckless. We were told people were complaining. From a business standpoint you made us feel unwelcome in an establishment where we spent money. Take the $60 2 top who complained over what we spent there tonight? At least pull one of us aside instead of making a grand announcement. Chad you’re a great and talented owner, but train your staff how to talk to people. Just tell us, dont make a scene.“
“I didn't expect much when we stopped in on a Sunday right around lunchtime and no one was there other than a few in the bar. We ended-up very pleasantly surprised as the menu was quite extensive and everyone could find something to eat. We had two people get personal thin pizzas and one kid burger sliders and one adult chicken Parm sliders. Add a few cups of soup and some sodas and we were set. The chicken was very tasty and you got three good size ones with fries so I had one left to send for lunch with the kids. The waitress was lovely and understanding of kids who took forever to choose! We will definitely be back!“
“The food at Saban's can't be beat. We had the pork chops. They were cooked to perfection, delicious, beautiful presentation, plentiful amounts enough for another meal. The service was great. And the prices are like going back in time. I seriously don't know why anyone would want to eat any place else.“
“We came here after a zoo day and the entire family enjoyed it. We got the cheese curds and Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and they were both delicious. The fish tacos were great, but the corned beef tacos were out of this world! Highly recommend this place for an afternoon lunch or family dinner.“
“This is a nice restaurant. Little out dated on the decor and the windows are very drafty during the winter time, air pours in them so you don't want to sit next to them if you want to stay warm. But they have really good soup. I had stuffed pepper soup and it was very yummy. Wish I got a whole bowl instead of a cup. The waitress was very friendly.“
“one of my favorite bars. The atmosphere is mixed a mini utopia of sorts. I like that they have TouchTunes (jukebox) which allows you to play your favorite song without passing a aux cord. it’s a chill vibe. I’ve never had a bad experience here. drinks and prices are decent. The service is bomb Fee always holds it down and is very attentive to customer needs. There’s pool, a patio and bar games.“
“I nearly missed reviewing this place... back in April I had just arrived from a horribly long overseas flight. My friends were kind enough to take me to this pub for some dinner and we were pleased at our food and dining experience. When you walk in you are met with traditional Irish decor, and a lovely fireplace in the dining area. Very welcoming and clean. I liked it immediately. Heather H. waited on us and was very friendly and helpful with making some dinner suggestions. It is a very cute interior and warm environment. My friends got Guiness of course and I was pleased to see they had a surprisingly good selection of white wine, so I opted for a glass of the Joel Gott sauvignon blanc ($9.25). I was starving and got the Wild Alaskan blackened salmon ($19.95) MM MMM with a side Salad and OH YES house made blue cheese dressing to die for. Very generous portion of fish, perfectly cooked.My friends shared a basket of crinkle cut fries ($5), curry sauce ($3.50) and Irish sausage ($6), plus Southwest Chicken Egg Rolls ($7.95). The food and drinks are very reasonably priced, and the food is really good. The dinner menu has a very impressive selection, a little bit of everything.“
“I was surprised by how good the food is just because this place is definitely more of a bar than a grill. We all enjoyed our meals, and the service was excellent. The prices are fair, and it would be a great place to come check out sports or some live music. They also have some slot machines.Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options besides salads, but I believe they have a few.Kid-friendliness: Kids are certainly welcome and they have a kids menu, but it is really close to an actual bar.“
“Cool bar. They have slot machines, bathrooms at both end of the bar, a cute little gazebo outside that's enclosed with a TV that's very nice. A lot of different drinks and just a nice little atmosphere. The only thing negative was the bartender was hard to trackdown. Either she was outside smoking or in the back talking on the phone. Waiting for her to serve us was a long time. She was nice but not very efficient. But I will say I do recommend this bar“
“Great time!! My first time there but we had a blast! The band, Claremont Drive was playing! They were awesome! Their baby boomer music had us up and dancing all night long and they had a nice size dance floor. The food was good and everyone was wonderful and welcoming. Unfortunately I can’t remember the waitresss name but she deserves some kind of award. Apparently they had some people call off but our waitress ran around like she had a rocket in her pants. Took care of everybody in record time with a smile on her face and a good word for everyone. Hope I can be notified if Claremont Drive comes back!“
“Went there for a first date last night and had an amazing time! If you're looking for a lively, fun spot, this is definitely the place to go. Make sure to see Amber behind the bar she's an absolute rockstar and helped make our night so enjoyable.“
“Lots of fun and laughs , a very enjoyable and affordable club , bartenders were speedy and knowledgeable on latest drinks . Definitely a neighborhood staple . Also plenty of parking and an incredible beer garden . A must visit place on the west side of Chicago.“
“A new favorite! THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! The atmosphere is very chill and the service is good. the blonde bartender is the best (No names) The only reason I did not give Service and Atmosphere 5 stars is because there were a couple of instances where we walked in and were not greeted by anyone. The bar had not been cleaned from previous customers (empty drinks, dirty glasses, and food crumbs) and there was no clean spot to sit. We stood there for almost 5 minutes, watching the bartender talk to some guy at the corner end of the bar. She never even looked up for us to get her attention. Other than those couple of times, it’s been great! We also love to play the machines when we go there ?“
“Our waitress Sarah was amazing!! She was so attentive to my tables needs, extremely knowledgeable on the menu and very nice. It was my first time at this twin peaks restaurant and Sarah paired with the delicious food definitely made the experience worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back.“
“I had to get five stars because they’re the only restaurant that carries pure olive oil, even though there’s an Italian restaurant a half a block away. Disgusting. Most of the restaurants in Hinsdale used disgusting ingredients and then charge you as much as they possibly can ‼️‼️‼️?The only restaurant in town that actually has pure olive oil! What the heck is wrong with this town??I recommend Fullers, great staff, food is good, and at least you can get pure oil that doesn’t kill you if you’d like it ❤️ a little pricey“
