Waited over an hour for our food to come out. Part of me understands that it was Mother's Day, but I feel like they should have been more prepared for that occasion excuse was they were understaffed, and there was a party going on in one of the private rooms .

Excellent Fish fry on Friday night reminded us of being in Wisconsin. Haddock, slaw and fries were all delicious. We will definitely be back again to try some of the other menu items.

I recommend Heather as a server she is awesome, caring and attentive. There was 5 in our party celebration for my Mom. We had a great hot Pretzel as an appetizer, most had a sandwich which came on pretzel bread. As a birthday desert we got the baked smores hot and amazing.

Went here for dinner before the theater with friends. The atmosphere was woodsy, probably a great place to take your kids. Our waitress, Heather was very attentive and made great recommendations but food was slow coming out of the kitchen. There was also a mix up made by their delivery team with our dinners. The food was a mixed bag, I wouldn't recommend the walleye fingers, too heavy on the breading and we didn't care for the tartar sauce. I was not a fan of the broccoli cheddar soup as it was very orange in color because it was full of shredded carrots. However, one of the bright spots of the meal was the prime rib special. Steak made to perfection, so tender and garlic mashed potatoes were awesome. The star of the night was the banana foster bread pudding - it's to die for. Thanks for that recommendation, Heather.

Food was good and the service was great. It's attached to the sports book which made for an interesting experience. We will be back

Very disappointed in the dining experience. Not friendly staff and very noisy with out of control children. with all the great places to eat on the area we will not return. Food was average.

Spectacular night out beginning to end. Enjoyed the mushroom soup, prime rib was excellent, cedar plank salmon outstanding! Maggie is the best server, super attentive, great suggestions!

We went to Driftwood on a Wednesday night. We were greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant is large, open and spacious with an entire bar side that is separate from the general table side. We were informed of the happy hour specials. We ordered the peach bbq wings which were great. We also ordered dessert which was really good too. Our server was attentive and the food was served quickly.

We have been before and had great service! But tonight they appeared to be short servers so there was a notable delay. Our server did the best he could. Three of us ordered the unlimited fish fry and the delay on the second refill was disappointing. They only brought out two fillets, no fries. Wasn't worth it. Really disappointing since the meals aren't cheap.

Dridtwood is a local favorite of ours. Love the vibe and the menu. Had the short ribs, and they were excellent; very succulent and tender. My husband had the 14 oz pork Chop. They did a great job with it. Unfortunately, the accompanying Brussels Sprouts were a bit undercooked for our tastes. Tried the housemade cheesecake. It was good, but not up there with my favorites. Service was attentive and pleasant. I'd like to try the brunch soon.

Alaina was our Server, very informative, friendly & attentive...They really didn't have healthy apps on Special on HH or not, but the fried cheese curds were amazing, The Jicama salad & the Salmon were really good! It was rather loud in there, but we were in the bar where it was festive, Emily the Bartender was really nice too, she was helping out Alaina...Ive been there before for their Friday night Fish Fry! You need to check that out for Sure! Fun place, Its like being in a Wisconsin Supper Club, but with Chicago prices, lol

The service was wonderful and yummy food. I had the turkey pastrami wrap. My gf had the chicken salad and she loved it. Go for the cobbler dessert too.

I have been here twice for dinner and each time has been great. Plenty of menu items, and great service. Great for large groups too! Large parking lot right outside of the restaurant, clean bathrooms, large bar area and food always comes out hot. We will definitely be coming back!

Part if the reason we picked the restaurant, they had bacon wrapped dates on their menu. Found out they have not carried that in months. We were billed for drinks we never ordered Ordered prime rib, the difference between 12 & 16 ounce was all fat. Had it been our first time we would not be back. It was not, so we will give it another try.

We like the ambience. But the room behind us was a little noisy. The service was superb. The food was great. I had a special, the Shepherd's Pie. It was tasty but lacked vegetables. It only had shaved carrots, I was expecting a lot more and a variety. But everything else was very good. This was our third time at this restaurant and we will go back!
