46 Best Bar & Grill near Northfield

“Great food. Easy parking & place in clean. The staff is friendly.“

“We absolutely loved this place! The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the smashburgers; they were incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor in every bite. I ordered the passion fruit margarita at ut was perfect. We can’t wait to return!“

“We had a wonderful time going for the first time for a friend’s birthday. Our server Micky was so friendly and accommodating! The owner generously comped some drinks for us as first time customers. The plantains with the onion-forward dipping sauce were phenomenal. The Brussels sprouts had a lovely balsamic glaze topped with creamy goat cheese. Several of us ordered burgers with side salads, and the greens were of high quality. The standard vinaigrette offered was a wonderful blend of tangy and subtlety sweet. The smash burger patties were cooked well with crisp edges while maintaining a juicy interior. The garlic parm fries had a crisp exterior and fluffy texture. Everything was phenomenal, and Micky even helped us with the cake our friend made and brought. Do yourself a favor and come check this spot out!“

“This family run business is something special, the food is amazing, the atmosphere relaxed and the drinks delicious. It's The sort of place that becomes a go to for any and all occasion. Also we special-ordered a cake and it was the BEST Cake I have ever had.“

“Such a great experience having dinner and drinks this evening. They absolutely nailed GREAT customer service. The food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend.“

“The Vegan Birria Tacos (hibiscus flowers, spicy dipping sauce, vegan cheese, cilantro, onion, elote salad) are excellent. There were some very interesting flavors, the tacos have amazing variances in texture and a variety of flavors in a bite sweet, sour, tangy and just a little bit of heat. Great rotating draft beer options. The decor is very interesting with a huge dragon artwork on the ceiling in the bar area. I can wait to come back.“

“We were greeted by friendly staff and patrons as soon as we walked in on a Sunday evening. We were asked what we wanted to drink right away and even though the taps blew we were led to other options. The food menu was the perfect size and the bartender answered all of our questions and even made us laugh a few times. The food was cooked right in front of us and it tasted so freaking good. Perfect bar.“

“As soon as you walk in the door you realize that it’s not a bar - it’s a comfortable shoe, a true neighborhood joint that is congenial and friendly. Love the signs such as Hamns Beer $ 3 every day and Chicago sports photos on the walls; excellent tavern style pizza ! Love the history behind the building It’s a classic that reminds of the bars in my hood on the Southside of Chicago“

“My wife and I ate here on a whim and had the best time! Zero complaints about the service or food. Whenever we're back in town, they'll be high on our list to revisit.“

“spots in the area to watch a Bears game. The energy is perfect — TVs everywhere, great sound, and the crowd actually feels like a community.

The food is consistently great (way above typical bar food), and it’s obvious the ownership really cares about the place. You can tell in the details — the place is spotless, from the front tables to the bathrooms, and everything feels well run.

The bartenders are fast, friendly, and know their stuff, whether you’re ordering a draft, a cocktail, or just asking what’s good to eat. Service is always quick even when it’s packed, and you never feel ignored.

If you’re looking for a clean, well-run bar with great food, great service, and the perfect setup for a Bears Sunday, Filonek’s is the spot.“

“Need a place for a party? Yanna's is a great choice. We recently celebrated my sister's birthday party at Yanna's Speakeasy for 36 people and it was absolutely outstanding. The food was delicious, beautifully displayed and enjoyed in our group. Yanna was excellent to work with. What really made the afternoon unforgettable was the use of the barbershop area for the murder mystery experience -it added such a fun and unique atmosphere. Every detail was handled perfectly, and our guests are still talking about what a memorable party it was. I highly recommend this place for a venue for any occasion.“

“Good, service, atmosphere! Just the best!“

“My band just played there. Great place for music food and drinks. Super friendly staff. 💯 recommended, add it to your list of watering holes 🍻“

“great food, awesome atmosphere, and service was spot on. I'll definitely be back.“

“Great food, service, and outdoor seating!“

“The staff was great, the menu is great and is super friendly to gluten free diners. The Buttermilk chicken fried sandwich and the mozzarella sticks were delicious. Everyone in my party was thrilled with their meal. We will be regulars.“

“The new owners have really made this place lively. Came for Halloween and was NOT disappointed!

EDIT: Jamie professionally handled a patron who was belligerently drunk and being rude to others and got him to leave without a scene, this is why I continue to come back“

“awesome platform best one out there“

“We stopped in at the new location the day after Christmas. They weren't expecting many customers and had only one person working the entire restaurant. Amazingly everyone who entered was served with a giant smile and fast hot food. Thank you, Rachel, for making our first experience in your new location one that we will happily remember. You are amazing my dear. Outstanding customer service with a sincere delivery. Looking forward to stopping in again and again. Cheers to Rachel for saving the day!!!!“

“Great place to come and have conversation. Customers, drinks and food very enjoyable. Christine, makes you feel so welcome and makes you feel like family, always a hug coming and going. The people who work here, work hard. That’s the reason I shall Return Soon!!!!!!“

“I went this this establishment a couple weeks ago, the bartender Sarah was so attentive, charismatic, and on top of everything i actually went back because of the service. Every once in a while, you run across somebody that goes above and beyond the norm at their job, if I owned a bar, I would hire 10 Sarahs. I’m writing this review in hopes that the owner sees this and realizes what an asset Sarah is to her business. She makes you feel like u belong, she is so sweet and kind patrons don’t want to step out of line because the respect her. In an industry where it seems customer service has fallen off in recent years. It was refreshing to see someone do their job so well 10 thumbs up.“

“Walter was great. Service was terrific and the food was delicious!“

“Visited the Atlantic to watch Spurs in the Europa League. Dennis and Denny were great, beer, Food and friendly Spurs supporters made for a great afternoon. Hopefully I’ll manage tk get another Spurs game live when I’m next back in town.“

“It's the perfect dive bar with great food (big portions), best French fries and chicken wings around!, friendly customers, and staff. Family owned place who really cater to their customers and know most of the customers by name. There's a pool table, 6 TVs, and a jukebox which is perfect for hanging out and having a few shots and/or beers on the cheap. Party packages are inexpensive too and they have a nice big dining room for birthdays and group gatherings. (On Wednesday's they have drink specials.) *Cheers*“

“Rocky’s has become one of my favorite spots! The food is always delicious, my personal favorites are the BBQ ribs, Garlic Parmesan wings, and their signature burger. They also have a great selection of drinks, so there’s always something good to go with the food. I also really like that they offer hookah. There’s a huge variety of flavors and different tobacco options depending on how light or strong you want it, so there’s something for everyone. The atmosphere is great, the service is always friendly, and the staff genuinely makes you feel welcome every time you come in. It’s just a really comfortable place to eat, have some drinks, enjoy a hookah, and spend time with friends. Definitely recommend Rocky’s is a great food, great people, great atmosphere, and always a good time!“

“If your flight takes you through Chicago, you have to stop in the O'Hara Bar & Grill. You'll receive excellent service, meet new and friendly patrons, and get a wonderful drink plus a bite to eat. Margaritas in the morning? Yep! Prices are comparable for airport stop thru restaurants. Just make sure you have time or you'll miss your flight! Hahaha“

“A unique vibe to the place. Feels like home, amazing service and tasty food. Definitely going to take friends and family here.“

“Fun time with friends , drinks and food during happy hour is best“

“The quantity and quality and fresheness of food was very reasonable for an Airport, and my order was ready right way. The bar was small but comfortable enough, but the cheapest beer was around $12. That may be the norm in O'hare, I'm not sure, but it seemed high. If i find myself in Teminal 2 with time to burn again, i'd try one of the larger chain restaurants. *Lots of reviews mention the fries, and that is true. I didn't even know that the chicken pita even came with fries, but evenly it did, and there were a lot of hot fresh really tasty fries included in the bag. I probably shouldn't have, but definitely did eat them all. The fries were great.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, nice staff. but... on 11/20/24 there were THREE cover all bingo winners - only one won the trip... each winner should have got a trip to Vegas. How often do you have multiple winners in a coverall, let alone three of them????“

“My partner and I have recently discovered the Tuesday special $10 wings! Our server the past two times was incredible! Very funny and just a great person overall! Jermaine is one of the best for our date nights! He's very appreciative of our presence and makes sure we're always filled up! He remembered our order last time and spotted us quickly! We will always come back just for him, and the wings of course.“

“Me and my family flew for Christmas and ate here. Ricardo was very friendly and was an amazing bartender. We flew again two months later and he recognized me and my father before I sat down. Great server, great drinks, and we make it a point to visit every layover.“

“BBQ Burger was delicious ! Fries that came with pretty ordinary however . Drink was a bit weak but believe the waitress made it as I saw no regular barkeep“

“Great service from Carlos and some tall young man. Good beers, very good fries, good turkey sandwich and my (no chicken &) pear panini was uniquely good (vegetarian here). Add to that the comfortable, spacious seating, perfect place to wait out a thunderstorm at ORD.“
