“My wife and I stopped in at the Lake Zurich location this past Saturday, 1/11. We definitely loved the beer and the establishment. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They also had a great wood fire pizza food truck. I highly recommend Phase 3. We will definitely stop back in..“

“Finally good brewery in the area, so happy that we visited that place that offers very interesting beers. Their Pilsner and Lager are very solid. We also tried Farmhouse Ipa that offers interesting complexion of flavors as it is brewed and then put in barrels that once contained the wine lingering with its flavors almost like saison but keeping the good IPA profile. We will definitely visit again, hopefully soon!! :)“

“Lived in Mundelein for22 years. I have since moved to Texas. I visit many microbreweries along my travels. It’s always a treat to come home and see my hometown brewery thriving. What a wonderful establishment with great craft beer. Keep up the great work. Cheers“

“Great place to end a day and start the weekend“

“We went to Buffalo Creek this past weekend. I’ve never written an online review before but I felt like I had to based on this awesome night! Helene was our bartender and made the entire experience a blast! She was super witty and knowledgeable and took my girls night out to the next level. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! While I would prefer a place that had a cocktail menu, I will absolutely be back!!!!!! If they have an employee of the month Helene should absolutely be it!“

“Our waitress Alyssa was wonder! Had the prime rib and it was cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere to sit and enjoy good food and friends! Highly recommend to go and try it!“

“Our book club had a meeting here and it was amazing! Everyone was super accommodating, the food and room were great and we had an overall great time!! We hope to be back again soon!“

“I have been here for lunch many times but rarely in the evening. We stopped in on Saturday night with the intention of having a quick drink however there was an amazing 80s cover band performing. There was a very reasonable $5 cover charge and there were plenty of staff so the service was fast and efficient. The cocktails were excellent and the whole experience was so fun!“
