Bar & Grill near South Elgin

“One of my Favorite places to be 🥰 Kevin Davis, our hometown best bartender. We Love You! Thanks for always making it Fun!“

“I came here with a couple friends about a month ago on a Tuesday night and it happened to be their trivia night. And we ended up joining in on the fun.

The place is huge! The main room has a long bar and was full. We were seated in a room across from the bar. It was also huge and I think they occasionally had live music in that room. Our server was attentive and was constantly refilling our drinks. However, once we finished eating, we never saw our server again. Not even to to fill up water. As soon as the trivia ended, our server resurfaced and hovered while we settled our bill. Weird, right?

We were seated in a booth. Just three of us. It could have easily held six people.

So, someone comes by and says we're playing trivia. It's on the app and he shows us the app and tells us how to set it up.

This is all before we order drinks. It's all about the trivia. I have no idea where the other teams were as the place was ginormous.

We were there for our burger club. Between the three of us, we ordered the Tavern burger and the 'Merica burger. They were cooked very well, very flavorful. The buns held up, cheese melted well and fries crispy, but not too crispy. Everything was good...

Except that damn trivia game. It took forever. A simple trivia game that should have last maybe 45 minutes dragged on for nearly two hours. It was insane how slow it was. And no one wanted to leave? And I have no idea why as the prize was like a $25 gift card. It was lame.

I'll definitely return to try some of their other food, but I'll avoid their damn trivia night.“

“Literally the best theme brunches!!! So much fun with great food!“

“Best Venue in Batavia, the owner Melissa is a Godsend. The food is outstanding and the staff are all super welcoming and fun. We love playing here every year. The Beer Garden is #1 if you haven’t checked it out yet… what’s wrong with you???“

“The service is great, the staff is awesome, the food was the bomb, and they have specials for every day and have a good selection of drinks. Don't tell me that burger doesn't look delicious. Oh, and they're open pretty late too, which is convenient if you work the second shift nearby.“

“So if I order a cocktail “neat” with rocks on the side I am sure he would charge again for the rocks. Better yet….just include the $2 rocks charge in the drink itself ….don’t put a separate $2 charge for ICE!“

“Place is an amazing place to get food and have a drink. The bartenders and staff are super friendly!“

“Nice place and fun 🤩!!!! The band Southbound Chicago was great too !!! Lol 😆“

“thank you for offering vegan options. the only reason why I ate here. thank you.“

“Great bar and great food. The wings are very good, wet or dry, there are a lot of options, I usually go with the Cajun dry rub.. Bingo is Wednesday night and a lot of fun, plus the wings are half off that day. Burgers are excellent. Jackie is fun and is always lively. Good people there too. And some slots if you’re into that.“

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“They went above and beyond to make our cocktails (Dark and Stormy) when they were out of ginger beer...they went to a neighboring bar and got some! the ceviche was great too!“

“Young blonde girl is the sweetest!!“

“If you haven't tried this place, I strongly recommend it. The DAILY specials are EXCELLENT. The Chopped Salad is so gooood. Staff is friendly. An overall 5-star experience.“

“I mean, you’re getting drunk, so…..“

“Was passing through West Chicago yesterday from out of the city and stopped in for the first time. The minute I walked in the door, a very warm, positive vibe hit me. I'm a Veteran so when I saw the Marine Corp memorabilia, I knew I was in the right place. The service from behind the bar was outstanding! All class and personality. The food was fantastic! Burger was fresh, flavorful, aromatic and well-crafted. Ball game on the screens with the sound up (ya don't get that at other pubs, they keep it muted). The place was cozy, comfy, warm and smelled like Heaven.......I will definitely be back!! I'm also gonna tell all my friends about it here on the North side. lol (3 thumbs up......oh wait, where's my third thumb?? 😁👍👍👍)“

“was there on Sunday October 6th,Great place to watch a Bears game, food prices are really good. The Bone in chicken wings are really good. I had the sweet teriyaki My friend had the garlic parmesan wings we also ordered a pizza however the pizza was okay The cheese was rubbery, I would have liked to have brought these issues to my server however she was kind of in hiding, my server was very slow and that's usually not the case there..
maybe she had an off day“

“First time at McMae's tonight. Service was excellent and so was the food. Had the special chicken parm and it was plentiful and tasty and served with garlic bread. Will definitely be back in the future.“

“Been coming to Evergreen every Tuesday for the last 4-5 months for Volleyball. The food is really good. The cream of Jalapeño is my favorite. We have tried a variety of things. We usually have Sophia as our server and she provides awesome service.“

“I LOVE the Friday Fish Fry, but they’ve got enough menu options for everyone to enjoy a meal. The fresh fish, awesome wings, burgers, and rib-eye steak sandwich are all delicious. Pair any meal with the beer or drink of your choice, catch a game on one of their multiple TVs and you’ve got a nice evening! Be sure to say hey to Natalie and Archie, they’re two of the best bartenders you’ll meet.“

“Love the bar prices here.Bathroom clean.Haven't tried the food yet.But the drinks were dreamy awesome.I wish the prices were posted.Oh I paid 5 dollars for songs. Next thing dj took over the sound system and not 1 got played but I was there 3 hours. It was a lovely time either way“

“First time there. Food was outstanding. Had the pizza“

“We celebrated my fiancee's 30th surprise birthday at Bikini! They helped us set everything up perfectly for the surprise and we had a great time! Lots of fun for everyone with all the games and great pricing on drinks! We usually go for a night out and would definitely recommend Bikini for any party!“

“I've visited here more than a few times and every single thing I've ordered has been truly delicious. The filet steak salad is my newest obsession, the portions are generous, most especially for what they charge. If you're a smoker, the outside bar is ideal because you can smoke to your heart's content while eating and drinking. All the bartenders are AWESOME and the bathrooms are quite nice. I've never been let down eating here!“
