“Decided to go here since I was on a vacation with my 3 year old son and they had a kids menu. Selection was good and prices were solid. My son got grilled cheese with tater tots and I got the Brisket BBQ Burger and fires. Burger was cooked perfectly and fries where fine. We also got a desert (s'mores). Mariah was our server and she was great, very attentive.“

“Excellent Food,drinks and service!!!“

“Solid restaurant with decent service and a nice atmosphere. The fried chicken was good and the portion sizes were solid as well. Only issue was that it took a really long time for the food to come out but other than that and maybe the chicken lacking a bit of seasoning, everything was great. Would recommend.“

“Best homemade sandwiches in town. Fast service, great staff.“

“Please, please, please put the Korean Beef Bulgogi on your menu. My husband had it Wednesday night and it was out of this world delicious!! I kept stealing bites from his dinner. The meat was so tender and the flavor was so unique. This dish won’t be found anywhere else in the Illinois Valley area. My dinner was also delicious. Our service was great and we really enjoyed our time in your restaurant. Did I mention how much we loved the Korean Beef Bulgogi? 😂🤤🤤“

“I give the Paramont a five star, their corn, beef and cabbage tonight for Saint Paddy’s day is beyond expectations. Couldn’t stop eating it even when I was full it was worth the money.“

“Best place we stayed between Chicago and Grafton, IL! We were stuck at Starved Rock lock for around 5 hours. We didn't get through until after dark (9:30-ish). I called and amazingly enough a guy named Chuck answered the phone! He said our boat was a little big for anything they had available but he could put us at their fuel dock for the night. He waited until we got there around 11pm, helped us get tied up then invited us to the bar for drinks and even opened the kitchen and made us supper! Seriously the best place we stayed. Fun, clean, not pretentious, extremely accommodating, and super reasonable prices! Thank you South Shore Boat Club - and Chuck - for your help and amazing hospitality!!“

“The chicken is fantastic! Super friendly staff as well! We will definitely be ordering in the future!“

“Great selection of hot dogs. You can either choose a place-named dog or build your own. No matter what, the staff was friendly and the food was tasty, hot and quickly served. Just be aware that most people take their food to go since there isn't much seating.“

“Only my second time there. First time was years ago in the evening. Loud bar atmosphere. 7/18/26 I was here at lunchtime. A lot quieter! Mostly bar type food. But, there are other nice options. Matter of fact both types of stuffed tomatoes were GREAT.“

“Thank you so much for catering our Christmas gathering. The meats were great, the pastas were excellent and the price was fantastic! The kids are already asking when we can do this again!“

The food was out of this world and the drink selection was just as epic.You can't go wrong with the classic sports decor which makes this a great place to watch any game. Friendly owners, friendly bartenders and the friendly staff makes this place top notch all the way around. 100 Stars“

“Dont know what happened tonight. Ordered an old drink thats not on the menu but ive always got it, even thru last month. Ordered another drink and waited over 30 min. Sent mushrooms back because they were burnt, literally stuck to the dish. Heard kitchen staff holler "for real" lol. Ended up walking out after 40 minutes still no drinks. Biscuits finally came out after 25min. Manager and kitchen staff need some retraining. She didnt even come talk to us. Normally great. idk what they were doin tonight. BTW there was maybe 3 other tables. Hopefully management and kitchen staff get it together.“

“Meg is the best host. She has consistently been a great asset to our hiking community. We plan our trips for when she is bartending and serving. Thanks for her amazing service. We could go to any number of places to eat and drink after our hikes but we choose this one because of the great food and Megs service.“

“Extra Crispy Sweet Chile Lime wings were awesome!“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“A-hole move on my part, didn't realize Applebee's closed at 10pm now. I placed an order at 9:40pm😬, I am so sorry. I haven't been to Applebee's for a bit. Staff was amazing they were so sweet even though I felt horrible. The Chicken Shrimp Bourbon was amazing.“
