“We got sauerbraten and schnitzel and both were delicious!! Service was excellent as well. Loved the decor around the space. The only thing I would have changed was the music was so loud I could barely hear across the table. But otherwise everything was awesome and we will definitely be back.“
“It’s a pretty neat place to come and stop by for some food and a drink. They had the fire pit going on outside this winter and thought that was cool. Staff there seemed really friendly as well. Lots of people come here from the wedding venue up the street.“

It's a place where you can enjoy top-notch bowling, belt out your favorite tunes during karaoke, and indulge in gourmet-quality food and drinks.

“I've been here a couple times, the food is always good. But I think what makes this place stand out to me is the level of service. The wait staff is always attentive and constantly come back to check on you, not in an annoying way, but they have it down to a science it seems. They are never pushy and always friendly. It's a great place for you to be able to hang out with a few friends and grab a drink and a good meal.“
“I didn’t eat here. I actually got water. They don’t have lemon I was designated driver and they didn’t look down at that. They kept my water cold and brought me more ice. Pretty quiet. Family placeKid-friendliness: Bring something for the kids to do. Tables are huge. Enough for food and a board gameWheelchair accessibility: No stairs. Double doors.Plenty of parking“

“Still the best I drive 45 minutes.On a good traffic day to enjoy this crispy thin crust. Make sure you take advantage of this crispy crust and order it well done. When you walk in the door, there is a service station right to the left. There's always been immediate communication and unless it's packed you never have to wait for a seat. Plenty of room I very much like the ambience Northwoods, theme, and there's something to look at everywhere you go around the room. Sometimes after placing my order, I walk around and do just that to see what's new and was changed.“
“Friendly neighborhood older tavern. You can walk in a stranger and leave as a friend. I love the older woodwork and old stained glass lights. Visited a few times recently while staying in the area, and always felt at home. Friendly staff and patrons. Nice older establishment that's worth a visit.“
“Great place. Bartender made us really good food even after the kitchen had been closed. He went the extra mile and turned everything back on just for us. Food was excellent as was the service. We WILL be back for more. Thanks for Making our night!“
“This is a really good local establishment. It's a small bar with what looked like a decent outdoor area. It was burger night and the smash burger was excellent. The birria tacos were also very good. This isn't some highbrow place... just a small local joint that is serving up a couple of really good items along with good drinks. The bartender was friendly and I was glad we went there.“
“Stumbled across EPH doing a random Google maps search and I'm glad I did! They have an expansive menu of pub foods that surely would satisfy practically anyone. I had the Cajun chicken sandwich with goat cheese on a pretzel bun. The breast was huge and quite tasty. The goat cheese was interesting; not exactly my first choice but I didn't mind the outside my comfort zone choice. I paired it with Cajun fries for the perfect spicy combo. My wife had the Fiesta chicken, minus the bun, which she said she enjoyed. Definitely plan to go back and try more items on the menu.“
“Great casual spot for lunch on North shore of Lake Zurich (across the street, but good view of lake). Indoor and outdoor seating. Large bar with good selection of beer. Turkey club sandwich was easy with large helping of turkey. Fish and chips also very good.Kid-friendliness: Kid menuWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp“
“My husband and I love the food at this bar. It's above and beyond bar food expectations. The drink selection is also awesome. My favorite is the lemon drop martini and my husband loves the liquid marijuana. The specials are awesome too. Friday special lately has been the Jim Beam and Jim Beam Stag (cherry flavored). Emily is great and Bobby is a character. The owner is a cool chick too. Great atmosphere, great drinks, not expensive but also not a dive either, in my opinion. Although I love a dive bar, this one is a casual date spot. Seating at the bar is usually accessible, but they have high tops and regular tables as well. Comfy. Try the skirt steak sliders, they are my fave treat.“
“Came out to O'Hare's Pub for their Friday Happy Hour. O'Hares is an Irish Pub adjacent to the Midway Bowling Alley. They have a ton of tv screens which was perfect for March Madness. They also have slot machines, darts, and pool tables. The happy hour specials are VERY value driven! My partner and I both got Rail Drinks and split an appetizer. The beer nuggets were simple but good and a large sharing portion. The bartender Melanie was very personable; she was hustling while still making small talk with guests and had some great menu recommendations. We loved the neighborhood locals vibe, the value driven menu, and sports bar/pub atmosphere. We will be seeing you again soon enough O'Hare's!“
“My wife and I came here to see a band on the patio. This was our first time here. Was very easy to get a drink at the bar. The bartender was very friendly. The outdoor patio was nice - not to big - not too small. We were able to find seats in the grass to sit and listen. It was a good experience and we will definitely be going back.“
“We knew that Pam was working yesterday. We stopped by and had a very nice lunch. She recommended the chicken tenders and they were awesome. We had appointments to go to and when we were done we went back and had after work drinks with one other the true “Legends” of her craft. Thanks Pam look forward to hanging out with you soon.“
“I had a chance to swing in last week and it's a nice, comfortable setting. The food was excellent if you are interested in Austrian/German bites. The people working here were super nice compared to similar tyes of places in the area. They even had a 50% off beer special going on! I will be returning for sure.“

“Good experience overall! We went a little off peak so it wasn't nearly as busy but it still felt lively. Service was a little slow but the meal made up for it. Id you're thinking about upgrading to the zucchini fries do it! If you get the Jack Daniels burger, ask them to lather it in the sauce, it was completely missing it. Overall would come again“
“The stuffed pizza was very good! The thin crust, IMO, was just good. The service was very good, and the restaurant atmosphere was very good - clean, bright, modern, friendly. A fun and cheerful place to eat with friends and family!Vegetarian options: You can definitely order pizza without meat. There are salads and other options that can be ordered without meat, I believe.Parking: This is located in the Arboretum shopping area so there's plenty of parking.“
