We love searching and trying new Wisconsin style supper clubs, and when we found this place close to home, we thought we'd give them a try. We came in hoping we had found our favorite new local joint. Sadly we were disappointed.
We walked in and couldn't find a hostess, or an employee that wasn't running around and occupied. The bar wasn't even full, and yet the bartender looked slammed. No obvious host desk to check in, and I'm not sure which door was the true entrance even, we followed an older couple into what seemed like a back door, wandered to the bar area and found another door, but still wasn't sure we were in the right place. It took several minutes of us standing around awkwardly in the front before a server finally asked if we were waiting.
We saw their social media saying prime rib starts at 5, come early, so we came at 6 and it was already gone. Um, if you know your Saturday special sells out in under an hour, then at least double how much you're making!
Eventually we ordered. After the first round of drinks, we didn't see our waitress again until the dinner was served. She definitely missed out on a few additional rounds of drinks that we would have ordered. Instead we sat there sad as our glasses, both alcohol and water, sat empty.
The food itself was good, though it was just an awkward process overall. I don't know if they were short staffed that night, or if the business just doesn't hire enough people, but in any event, them not having enough workers that day soiled our overall experience.

Terrible food service here! The last two times we have been here, we have waited a minimum of 45 minutes for our food! Pork chops and rare steaks don’t take 45 minutes to cook! The dinner salad that comes with the dinners is a joke! Nothing but brownish head lettuce and two croutons! DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY! If you want a good meal at a fair price go to Texas Road House!

Food is excellent and you get a lot for the price. It looks like one of those dive bars or old restaurant, but don't let the looks deceive you. It worth the try!
I really enjoyed this little gem off Joliet Road in Hodgkins. I was pleasantly surprised by the food—it truly exceeded my expectations.
We started with the Italian shrimp appetizer, which was delicious, paired with a classic old-fashioned. For my main course, I had the salmon with rice and a side of buttery sweet carrots. My husband ordered the steak with mushrooms and the same sweet carrot side. Everything was excellent!
I highly recommend stopping by and trying the food. I can’t say enough about how pleasantly surprised we were. This place is definitely worth a visit!

Sarah the server/ bartender was excellent.... gracious and efficient. Loved the cool classic bar. Food was fabulous and Sarah shaked up the most marvelous martinis.
Yesterday was a very special day. Rarely do I have a day off and manage to take my parents out for dinner. We chose Saban's. And no more than 5 seconds upon coming in the door were greeted by an amazing young woman who seemed like she had just finished taking a tables order, She welcomes us and asks if we have a preference on where we would like to be seated. We chose the back dining area not aware that she was also going to be our server, and now became responsible for multiple tables on opposite sides of the restaurant. But it hardly phased her. She told us her name was Amelia and and was by far the most amazing and kind human we've ever met. And easily the greatest server imaginable. She knew the menu inside and out. Had a 1 of a kind personality, the most bright and sincere smile possible, walked and talked with pride and a confident swagger, her apron and uniform was spotless, even at 1 point after she dropped off our salads and soup my mother comments upon her perfectly manicured nails and how someone that runs around all day somehow managed to be so clean and how she even smelled like heaven. Not a single time did any of our 3 water glasses go under half full before she was right there to refill them. At 1 point a 5 top was seated nearby and she took them on as well. Plus any tables she may have had in the front. And it didn't phase her whatsoever. We were still treated like we were all that mattered. All 3 of us ordered ribs. The messiest possible entrée anyone could order, which all 3 of em came out identical. Not 1 errant drop of sauce along the rim of the plate. 3 fresh non wilty sprigs of parsley placed perfectly at 5 o'clock on the plate as a garnish. Showing how passionate both the chefs are and the person running expo. The only disappointment I have is that Google only allows up to 5 stars and I couldn't rate our server 10, 12, or even more stars. I work at bar Louie in bolingbrook as the lead cook and spent most of my life cooking serving, or as a bartender and have worked beside hundreds possibly even thousands of people in this revolving door business that is the restaurant industry and never once was lucky enough to ever have anyone as amazing and seemingly as perfect as Amelia on my staff of teammates. Heck Noone has even been in the same ballpark as her. You have been blessed with a diamond here. A true 1 of a kind gem like no other. I would kill to have someone on my staff that possessed the talent of just 1 of her pinky's muchless the rest. I truly hope you realize how lucky you are and how amazing of an employee you have in the total beast Rockstar sweetheart that hails by the name of Amelia. I truly hope she also sees this and I'm able to impress my appreciation, admiration, and respects, but most importantly say thanks for making a really special and rare occasion for me into an unforgettable experience. And p.s. those were the meatiest and most flavor packed ribs I've ever had, best by far prior was KC BBQ, and world renoun places such as Gates BBQ Arthur Bryants, q39 and even Joe's in kc should hang their heads in shame after they try your ribs

Took my granddaughter here this afternoon because I always raved about the lemon chicken and have to say our chicken was tough and had unchewable parts in it. Here I am taking my granddaughter out to lunch and the chicken wasn't very good. No, I didn't tell the server because I don't like to send food back, it should be done right in the first place. Sorry but we were disappointed. The carrots were great.
