Food portion was more than enough but we finished it all. The place was very clean. There's gaming too and a good size bar.. we will definitely come back for lunch next time and see what they offer..“

“We love coming here for breakfast. Prices are fair, and the staff is amazing, and the food is delish. They even adjust the Mickey Mouse pancake into a Minnie mouse pancake to make my little one happy.It's usually packed on Saturday and Sundays, but it's definitely worth the wait.“

“The service here was excellent, and the food was beyond my expectations!! I got a Denver omelet and some raspberry cream cheese crepes. Wow, they were so good! It was a busy place on a Saturday morning, but we got seated after only a five minute wait. I would definitely go back again.“

“Quite a drive for me but worth the trip. Easy parking, the place was inviting even from the outside, and seating was comfortable. Our waitress was super nice and attentive throughout our meal. All three of us had the bottomless mimosa, which is only worth it if you drink three or more. I chose it because I wanted to try the different kinds of mimosas: oj, cranberry, and pineapple. Yum to them all. For my meal, I split the Veggie Fritatta and the Chiliquiles with my friend. I liked the chiliqiiles more (crunchy chips) than the fritatta (chunks of potato). The special: corn beef eggrolls were also really good. My other friend had the steak and cheese, which she loved. The amount given was just enough, and the prices were decent.“

“No wake is great. The servers and bartenders are really friendly. The prices at this bar are always reasonable. I always enjoy the food when I visit. Atmosphere is fun too. This bar is popular but gets more crowded in the summer months. Located on the Fox River it's always fun to stop while boating. They also have gas for refueling boats. There are also a lot machines and there is outdoor seating in the summer months. I would highly recommend visiting no wake.“

“Whitney St is a traditional diner, and the food is good and service good. What my family especially appreciates is the Sunday buffet. Great for the kids and great for larger groups.Kid-friendliness: Such an easy place to eat with the kiddos.“

“Due to the superb quality of the food and the outstanding service this has quickly become my wife and I's favorite spot to eat. We will probably be returning weekly and will be regular customers. The young man who does the serving is very attentive and more polite than anyone else I've ever seen in a restaurant. They always greet you when you walk in and say goodbye when you leave. All around excellent.“

“Can’t beat this place for ribs. Been going for decades. They still fall off the bone they are so tender. Service is great, lovely dining room across the street from Diamond Lake. Good wine list and extensive menu. We would go more often if it wasn’t so pricey but it’s our go-to spot for special occasions.“

“Damn. Just Damn. My wife and I are both chicken wings fans. And hands down, these are some of the best wings I've ever had. Perfect seasoning, healthy chicken, and so much more affordable than the big chains. They are so good I had to order 3 dozen to go. My only complaint is that I don't live closer.I have one warning, if you come by to try these wings, you'll want to order a bucket of them to go.I apologize about the picture. I scarfed two down before I realized I had to tell the world about these. #chickenwings #fromheavan“

“I love coming to this bar!! Every Thursday they switch the Tap!! TAP TAKEOVER and omg the beers are amazing. They also have live music, came to see Frank liston Music, he was amazing and added to the atmosphere. The staff is super friendly. Food is okay but overall the atmosphere is where it's at!! Come for Tap Takeovers!“

“Happened to be in Antioch with my daughter and stopped in The Lodge for a late lunch. I had one of the best, if not the best chicken wrap with fries. It was wrapped, then heated on the outside, delicious. My daughter had a grilled cheese with tomato with onion rings, she loved it. We were too full to eat desert, but we took a piece of homemade tiramiso with. It was a slice of heaven. Great service and wonderful food“

“Legendary spot. Sitting outside on a nice summer day here is unmatched. Can eat a ton of great food for insanely low prices, comparatively. Everyone’s extremely friendly and often the service alone makes me want to 2x any bill with the tip.“

“Wonderful food, great service, nice view and atmosphere. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for good old fashion home style polish dishes and other favorites dinning out. The desserts were amazing as well! My table had a hard time choosing!Kid-friendliness: The kids enjoyed their meals and treats as well.“

“This is an absolute hidden gem of Mundelein!!! Everything is seasoned so well, delicious food, priced fairly, great service. We have tried so many Mexican restaurants all over town and this is hands down the best. We’ve eaten here lots of times- the tacos are always amazing, tortas, burritos too. I’ve had a few of the Mexican classic dinners. Never any complaints. Check it out!!“

“Stop here a couple times a month. This is 100% dive bar. Overall it’s pretty worn down but kept pretty clean. The locals are friendly and typically interact with others. Food is pretty good and they have daily specials. There seems to be enough parking at least during the day. Bar tenders are friendly and do a good job with the service. Pool table, darts and gambling machines. A few tvs are typically playing some sports.“

“We love coming here, this time we were greeted and served by Shelly B. She was fantastic and so was our food. We ordered the chicken fajitas (actually came to us sizzling!) and they were on point for flavor. We also ordered the steak quesadilla which was also delicious.“

“Went to lunch with my dad. I had the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever eaten and as usual the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Live going there. It always makes my day a bit brighter. It’s like eating with family, without all the drama of actual family.“

“The food was so delicious that we when back the next day. On Friday night we went in for the fish fry and Saturday we went out for the prime rib special. Both days were delicious. The salad bar was amazing both days. I will definitely be back.“

“They have many options. However, there are few varieties of food for vegetarian or vegan diners. The dinning room has spectacular views of Grass Lake.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian and vegan options are clearly labeled.Dietary restrictions: I saw the salad was the only option for vegetarian gluten free. It was delicious.Parking: It's a very small parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome here.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp to get to the door.“

“Stopped here for first time met David the owner super nice guy. I l ordered beef with onion rings and a soda Charlie got beef with peppers, fries and a can of Diet Coke. At the last minute we added cannoli which was delicious! Generous portions and we will be back. Everything was yummy!“

“Well, been passing by this place forever and this time we decided to stop in. Very sparse parking so we asked where to park and immediately the female bartender came outside and pointed to a few locations. She must have been an owner because it is rare and doubtful an employee would be so accommodating. Moving on..... We were seated, by the very nice and conscientious female bartender. She asked for our drink order and gave us menus........ So far so good......The food..... Corn Beef and Cabbage Dinner-Outstanding Monster Burger-Incredible Ruben-Great Patty Melt- Delicious Absolutely excellent all around. Not a single negative comment from anyone in our party. Oh, yeah! There was a gentleman talking to some people at the bar and was showing the coolest DUCK model to his friends. Said his buddy made them and was selling them for $5. My buddy immediately jumped up and bought it and asked for another one. Well the gentleman left the bar. Damn... no duck for me....... Hold on...... He returned with another duck in hand. I snapped it up and thanked him. That doesn't happen nowadays. How cool is that. The entire experience of that bar/grille was that of a typical Chicago old neighborhood tavern. Great people. Great food. special nod to the female bartender. Awesome lady who "gets it." We'll be back.....again and again.“

“Middle of the afternoon on the weekend. Sunny and 80. Plenty of parking for cars and bikes. Plenty of dock space. It was a little tough getting served at the outside bar. A few tables available with nice views. Made for a ok one and done. Will stop again.“

“I came to watch the band and noticed a sign on the wall talking about barbecue baby back ribs.I usually have a hard time finding places that cook them so they fall off the bone and melt in your mouth.This place said there's did and guess what? MY RACK OF RIBS TRULY DID "FALL OFF THE BONE AND MELT MY MOUTH" (for $20)Now, I might just come here to eat every week! lol“

“I loved it here. Food is my heaven, and this place was out of this world! Their BBQ sauces to die for! Everything here was amazing. Staff was efficient and very pleasant. A lot of parking space and enough seats to sit and relax for a while wasn't crowded for a Saturday night! I'm definitely coming back here to try more. No complaints here, delicious chefs kiss“

“Nice place. Turkey sandwich was good a long with soup. Had steak enchiladas and that were great. Sent side salad back along with the fly buried in my salad. Other than that great place. Service was good. Just didn't care for being bombarded all at once with lunch first. Soup , salad second.“

“This place is a hidden gem!! Absolutely stunning scenery, the entire establishment is super clean, and the waitstaff are very friendly. Cassie is the best, super sweet, caring, and will always make sure you’re taken care of. She pays great attention to everyone, you won’t even know that she’s noticed you’re ready for your next!“

“We love the Roost 59! The other day I accidentally ordered the "mack attack". After a long day I didn't read I just pointed.. I didn't know Mac and cheese was on it. I just thought grilled chicken and the works. It was DELICIOUS! Roost 59 never disappoints! ??“

“Nice clean place.Food service till about 8 at night.. Bar service in the back with games. Real friendly place.Food is real freshWe'll be spending more time here.Thanks Dogs on the chain.We really miss the Philly Sandwiches.The other place across the river can keep them.Parking: About 10 spots avail. Shared with one other store“

“As a native to Spring Grove, the Grove is our family and friends go to spot for great dinner, affordable drinks, and weekly live music. With a revolving drink special menu, and a Wisconsin style food variety, you're sure to find something enjoyable to munch/drink on while listening to small town, local artist! Enjoy the Grove and it has to offe“

“The food was delicious as always, and the service was great. Tina was an excellent waiter. The Alpine omelette had a lovely flavor and the Door County Melt with Gluten Free bread was remarkable. The coffee, however, tasted like it was on the burner too long. One of the pleasant features of coming to Egg Harbor was the flavor of the day coffee and we’re disappointed that they no longer carry that. The specialty coffees do not make up for that. As a plus, they have a gluten-free menu and offer it upfront.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“

“Great local family restaurant. Nothing too fancy, but good food, friendly service and plenty of free parking. My only complaint is that I forgot to ask about this double egg policy, so I ordered two eggs and got (literally) four eggs! Crazy. Luckily a hungry son could eat the excess. First world problems.“

“Just a note for any Google personnel reading this. I did not stop at this bar, and have no clue where it even is located. Sono idea why Google wants me to rate an establishment I have never visited. Very strange. Your system needs work.I'd give the review one star over Google screwing up. But that's not fair to the bar. 5 stars simply because their rating shouldn't suffer over Google maps being stupid. If this is a Google AI test, it failed miserably.“

“Beyond AWESOME!!!! I just found this place online and the reviews looked good so we thought we would try it. The menu is very appetizing. We ordered delivery and it was fast, the food was hot and the delivery guy was great. The food was SO fresh! The pizza was delicious, sausage is home made and it has great crispy crust ! We also ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo with sausage and shrimp and it was out of this world. The portions are big. We can’t wait to go there and dine in. You will not be disappointed!!“

“Absolute BEST FRIES! The Taste is one of a kind EVERYTHING IS FRESH MADE TO ORDER! The Hotdogs,burgers and beef are AMAZING! One of the last gems that has Truely good,unique soul food.Wheelchair accessibility: Floor is level with the parking lot!“

“the cutter of de fog is a lovely place to gather with friends. Mason the bartender showed off his stunning legs and kept my diet coke filled like a true professional. Pineapple (her birth fruit name) took over and didn't miss a beat! she runs the bar like a honeybadger after chugging a pot of coffee. the parking lot can be intimidating for new guests but once you learn to off road like a pro it is fun. my favorite bar in the area and I don't even drink.“

“The service was exceptional, just as one would anticipate from a higher-end restaurant. Ryan, our server, demonstrated politeness, expertise, and patience regarding our dietary restrictions. He was attentive and tailored his suggestions to our preferences. The food was delicious.“

“We always have great service here. The food is pretty good also. It is nice to pop in for lunch or dinner and be able to sit at a table with the kids.The wings are really awesome. The burgers are good too and everything is decently priced.The bathrooms are always clean also which is a nice perk!“

“Fish fry was the best I've had in a while!VERY VERY BUSY!! Staff was great but service was kinda slow due to the amount of customers. Our experience was positive and we will go back. We will try to get there early next time! Things are tough all over but I thought they did a great job.“

“So 1st time here tonight and it was a special occasion for us made more special by our server Stephanie she was friendly and attentive without being overbearing....awesome job!! Also the food was great from the pretzel with warm carmel sauce yep! Filet was really good dessert amazing will be back ?“

“Service is on point. Very friendly people there. The set up of the bar is awesome. The food was good and the portion sizes were perfect. My mini corn dogs were a little dark. Maybe I caught them in need to change the oil day. Prices are typical prices for a bar. Just really amazed how well that bar is taken care of inside.“

“Wow! I love what they've done to the place! In case you haven't heard, The Vine opened their newly constructed patio at the end of June, and it is a great addition to the local dining scene! It is an attractive space with lots of exposed wood beams, plenty of tv's, and an awesome looking bar top.My most recent visit to the patio was on a Tuesday, for lunch with a friend. We decided to sit outside; and even though it was a cool Autumn day, we were perfectly comfortable. We arrived shortly after they opened and there was plenty of seating; by the time we finished-up they had a very nice crowd.My buddy ordered the Santa Fe Chicken Salad, and I had the The Irishman, which is a Burger with Guinness Cheese Dip, an onion ring, and homemade pickles. We both agreed the food was delicious. Service was excellent (as always).I love the new space, and can't wait for my next visit. If you haven't been to The Vine recently, you need to go see for yourself!“

“If you can imagine a Wisconsin Supper Club (good food all around) married to a classic sports bar (TVs and good drinks with decent pours) right on a nice-sized lake, you'll get an idea of what Fairmont Shores is like. The first thing that strikes you when you enter is the crowded and noisy large single room with a square bar dominating the center, all with a pleasant welcoming neighborhood feel. This restaurant had unbeatable ambiance: inside with a wall of windows looking out over Fox Lake with the sun setting in the evening, and outside with a lakeside patio deck available when the weather co-operates. We started with cocktails and beer, all nicely brought off - routinely 4 star stuff. For appetizers we tried the Mozzarella Sticks (5 star cheese sticks nicely breaded and done just enough to get the cheese softened) and the Bruschetta (a 4 star offering with a nice baguette with all the toppings and a nice balsamic glaze). For mains, and since we were here on Friday: two of our party had the all-you-can-eat fish fry with a choice of fish (our selection was 4 star stuff, nicely fried white fish); another in our party had the grilled salmon (a nice 3 star offering of salmon - a hair overdone - served with hushpuppies, and fries or a baked potato): and what the last in our party had was probably a wrap (?). Service was on point: they had lots of servers, quick food preparation and delivery from the kitchen, and an active full-service bar. You may want to make reservations so you are not disappointed ... this place gets crowded fast, especially on weekends. And don't forget the standouts here: all-you-can eat Fish Fry Fridays, and Sunday Brunch from Easter to Labor Day. If you are out this way, you have to give this place a try.“

“I just had to give a new update. They updated their menu. I took friends here and they all loved it! The food & service were perfect! It's a fun little spot. We ordered: Nutty Chicken Fat Dragon Noodles Coconut Chicken Curry White fish special Everything was 10/10!!“

“We absolutely love coming here. Great place to have a couple beers (which are all amazing I’ve never had a beer here I didn’t like) or to come for a full on meal as their food is AMAZING. Our personal faves are the cheese curds, colossal pretzel, and the sweet potato fries.“

“It is located in a gas station, but don't let looks fool you. The prices are cheaper than in the Chicago area. The bread is always fresh. They do not skimp out on the ingredients. And it tastes just like it did in the 80s. Prob the best Mr submarine in the Chicago area. The lady who makes the subs is very nice as well.“

“Great place to have stop by and eat out in. Great variety of dishes can be found in their menu and the quality of the food is great. My go-to dish are the Chilaquiles, Although somewhat spicy having ordered a side of white toast really complement eachother. Not much can be said about the service, As soon as I arrived I was cordially escorted to my seat and the waitress was very nice and attentive. Will recommend this place to anyone looking for a homecook meal. Make sure to come early oherwise there will be a wait time which it isn't too long as patrons come and go and the wait is redeemed by their delicious food.Kid-friendliness: Establishment has a small selection of items for Kids.“

“Had St Patrick's dinner at Morgan's tonight. Food was excellent ! The corned beef was cooked just right. The atmosphere is cheery and friendly. It felt like a neighborhood "cheers" bar with great bar food and service. We definitely will be frequenting it more often.“

“I moved from the Midwest a long time ago and haven't found a decent olive burger since. This place is pure nostalgia for me, retro drive in, amazing fries and olive burgers and fun menu. Definitely a hidden gem I'd return to if given the opportunity.“

“I’ve gone here at least once a year since like, forever, and it’s always great food, great service. Happy to support a good small business. Yes prices have increased, but so has gas, rent, your groceries, and more. It’s inflation people. Will always continue going here! The fries are my “

“We celebrated a birthday here recently. The steak was excellent! I eat primarily carnivore and the kitchen prepared a skirt steak atop a bed of bacon. Not just a couple slices of average bacon. This was 6 slices of crispy bacon topped with a perfect medium rare steak! A great meal overall with one caveat when they gave our table to another party when we were 5 minutes late and told us they did that. We waited about 20 minutes for our table. Not the end of the world but a bit frustrating.“
