If you look on Google, yelp, and even on the Long Grove pages, you can see people have made posts over the years about how the Chatter Box staff is rude to families with children, and it is not family friendly.

ChatterBox of Long Grove is a fun spot with a fun, eclectic atmosphere. It is decorated for the holidays and offers a great bar and great ambiance, especially on the patio or at a swing table in the summer. The food is very good, outstanding, and delicious. Specific meals highlighted include one of the best burgers and some very tasty, well-cooked wings of various flavors. The beer is also tasty.
However, experiences with service vary. Many find the staff friendly, nice, and exceptionally attentive. Others report service as the low point, describing it as mediocre or under par. Issues include long waits to order, slow drink refills, inattentive servers, incorrect orders, and general struggles when the restaurant is super busy or understaffed, particularly during big crowds or festivals. This can lead to extended wait times for food.
Despite service inconsistencies, reviewers consistently state they will definitely go back and recommend ChatterBox, planning to return for the great food and atmosphere.
