“nice little bar pool table. great bartenders“

“Great place and always lots of fun!“

“Gyros, boneless wings, chicken sandwiches, salads, soup...all fantastic food. You can't go wrong with what you choose. It's all very good.“

“The Bulldog has always been a place I looked forward to meeting friends at when I came to Aurora.
The staff is always smiling and attentive to what we need.
Hearing the change to a breakfast place made me laugh. How unoriginal can you get? Those are a dime a dozen and none truly last long in the restaurant world. Why, it’s hard to get original with breakfast offerings. The biggest piece for success is the people. They are the main reason we would go to there.
It’s a business decision, but I don’t feel a wise one. Also, the timing couldn’t be worse. Don’t tell me you didn’t know this was happening. Have a heart for your people around the holidays!“

“The 1st hour was terrific. We were celebrating our anniversary. Then a very loud group of four were seated right behind us. They obviously had been in the bar before coming to dinner. The remainder of our time was spent in silence since we couldn't hear each other. No fault of the restaurant or staff. Just self absorbed rude customers.“

“We walked in off the street, didn't expect much but we were absolutely blown away by the environment, the service and the layout of the establishment. The Philly cheesesteak sandwich with au jus and the breaded chicken tenders blew our mind. Our bartender was Ashley, she gave us impeccable service engaging and even when she wasn't there, every other bartender was very engaging and attentive. I don't know why this place is not packed at all times. I've reviewed hundreds of places around the world and this is one of my favorites.“

“Lunch specials are RIDICULOUS!!! $9.99 for a HUGE sandwich, soup, and choice of mac n cheese, fries and other choices….don’t walk RUN to the flagship in St Charles, U R welcome!!! Thank me later!!!!“

“Wings here are excellent and reasonably priced. Service is fast and attentive and everyone is very friendly. Even other customers make it you feel welcomed. Music isn't too loud like other places where you can't even hear yourself think. A great spot to visit.“

“They support live music entertainment!“

“Had a cup of the homemade chili and a phenomenal bacon cheeseburger the day after thanksgiving for lunch. Holly and Dawn are always attentive and pour great mixed drinks. Love the Inn!!“

“I play for pool league out of this location, so I have to be here, but the tater tots are really what keeps me coming back! They are the best around, if you ask for them extra crispy they are very accommodating and do it with no issue! I’ve slowly started to explore the menu because you can never miss with the tots! If you’re a potato enthusiast, I highly recommend checking this place out! You’ll want to eat every last one and maybe ask for more!“

“Our large group went on Monday, March 17. We had great food, drinks, dance music, and fun! One of the best nites ever! Janie rocks it!!!“

“The staff have been really rude to me ever since I pointed out that my tab was wrong and I was overcharged. I wasn't upset about the double charges, I just wanted them corrected. I've barely been waited on since then it seems. I tried to step in a help once when a patron had been over served. It wasn't welcomed at all. I was given the same look as I get when I walk up to the bar to get a drink. Too bad, it's really close to home to me. I haven't been in over a year and have no plans on returning.“

“A new local bar in geneva, 8 visited today and they have a wonderful behind bar staff with a great menu and some fun weekly events.“

“Nice, relaxed atmosphere. I come here early on Saturdays or Sundays with my kids so I can try a couple beers and they can play pinball or the other games this bar has. Very friendly and courteous staff.“

“Ladies get a free drink if they show boobs! J/k sorta. Great prices. Great pool leagues. Great people. Could use a new paint job, but other wise it is like drinking at home but better.“

“Stopped in with a friend after a metra ride. Hung out at this establishment while we waited for my phone to charge up and for Uber to come. Typical mixed bar of locals and commuters. Sports oriented. Did not check out the menu. We just ordered a beverage. Wait staff was kind, cheerful, and attentive. They have a nice patio as well. A great place to relax as you wait for a train or a great place to unwind after a day downtown and long train ride.“

“We went here for a Friday night fish fry. We did carry out but they are open to the public. Fried cod, baked potato and coleslaw. Myhusband liked the fish alot but said it needed a little lemon or something to spice it up. I had fried shrimp which were very large with a baked potato and coleslaw. The coleslaw was not that great, but we enjoyed the rest of the meal alot. I would recommend this place for a good inexpensive fish fry.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere!“

“pd;s The place to go for a nice quiet drink. Great bartender, really knows how to make a good Bloody Mary. Located in Oswego ,Il. at Mason Square.“

“Vegetarian options: I don't know , I'm not a vegetarian but I know that they serve it.

Dietary restrictions: They have it but I'm not on a diet so I eat the regular foods and it is delicious.

Parking: Alot and they have enough handicap right up front and they serve them first unless you asked them not to.“

We had an Amazing night.I want to thank our bartender Mel for taking such good care of our group. The service was Awesome the music was Great and she was on Point the entire night. Thank you Mel! It was a Amazing experience and we had a hell of a good time. We Absolutely will be back!“

“Can’t wait until you reopen“

“Poor service and horrible beer. I ordered a brew dog hazy IPA and the waitress brought me some kind of red ale which is clearly not a hazy IPA. See attachment for what the beer should look like and what they brought me. Waitress does nothing to remediate the situation. Never seen such a poorly run business. Staff have bad attitudes and beer was definitely not right. Maybe it was spoiled or they substituted a cheaper product. Do not go here.“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy tiki drinks!“

“We held my father’s Celebration of Life at Fireside Grille, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. When the manager, Zach, learned the reason for our gathering, he immediately went out of his way to make it possible even though the private room were already reserved. The entire team was wonderful to work with, the food was absolutely amazing, and everyone kept commenting on how delicious everything was. Our server, Lupe, was superb as always as well as the rest of the staff. Everyone was attentive, kind, and professional. I highly recommend Fireside Grille for any celebration or special occasion. They truly went above and beyond for our family.“

“When I used to live in West Chicago a couple of years ago, my fiancé now husband and I used to go there all the time and his Uncle Mike. I recommend this place 100%, the drinks are good, the bartenders are friendly, and the Viper Burger was our favorite. Alan is an awesome guy with a great sense of humor. The atmosphere is chill, welcoming and you'll have a great time. When I say to stop by The Bunker, I mean it lol 😃. Whenever we are in town again, we are definitely going to try stopping by. 😌✨“

“Great food & great service!!!“

“Nice upscale feel restaurant. Good food, nice live music. I had a filet(slightly overdone) and my wife had a delicious hanger steak. Came with nice rustic grilled vegetables and we ordered a side of whipped potatoes. It's really nice that sides are reasonable is size and price—not oversized like the big steakhouse places.“

“Great people and strong drinks! 👍🏽👍🏽“

“people are absolutely awesome food great absolutely friendly atmosphere“

“I visited with my family after spending some
time at the ice rink. The food was great, very flavorful . The highlight of our night was definitely our server Taminah! She has such good energy, very attentive, and overall gave great service for our first time at yard house . We will definitely be back and ask to be in her section again !“

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“Great food, good rotating menu and very friendly staff“

“This was my second ever visit in three weeks, both because of events at Arcada. My first visit, which was on a Saturday, was great! My friend and I were promptly waited on, the server was informative and attentive and our food came out quickly. My second visit was a little less impressive. The restaurant was quite full and understaffed. We were given water right away, but waited quite awhile until our server returned to get our drink order. Then again to get our food order. Thankfully the food came out quickly, as we were already running late for the start of the show. As the first visit, there are absolutely no complaints about our entrees. The food was very good!! Looking forward to another show and visit to the restaurant to try something new yet again.“

“Best sushi in the area hands down! Everything is excellent from the hostess, to the server and the food to the atmosphere and cleanliness . Top quality fish. You can’t go wrong. The lychee martini is amazing !! Peter is the best bartender around.
Love this family owned business.
I will always support local. Thankful for this gem.“
