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

“When I used to live in West Chicago a couple of years ago, my fiancé now husband and I used to go there all the time and his Uncle Mike. I recommend this place 100%, the drinks are good, the bartenders are friendly, and the Viper Burger was our favorite. Alan is an awesome guy with a great sense of humor. The atmosphere is chill, welcoming and you'll have a great time. When I say to stop by The Bunker, I mean it lol 😃. Whenever we are in town again, we are definitely going to try stopping by. 😌✨“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Had an amazing birthday party in the upstairs room. We had the taco buffet and it was delicious! Service was excellent and everything looked beautiful. They let us come in early to decorate and we were able to play our own music. I would recommend highly for a special occasion!“

“Such a great pub venue. Our server, Tyler, went out of his way to welcome us. The menu is extensive. The beer list has both rotating taps and craft beer options. They offer cocktails, spirits and wine as well as N/A options. The food is outstanding. I had the ginormous wings. Others ordered mini burger sliders and Etouffe. Both liked there dishes. This is a place we will go back to. We watched the World Cup soccer game without feeling bombarded by TVs.“

“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!“

“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???“

“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 😆“

“Dive bar with good food. Nothing tasted like it came from a box/freezer including appetizers (coconut shrimp and rings) and meats. Prices are reasonable and the daily drink specials are stuff you'd prefer not just stuff you'd settle for. Service was pretty good for just a staff of 5 and both bartenders on my Saturday nite visit knew what they were about.“

“Been going there for years. Good food. Good beer. However, was told no dogs allowed and had to bring mine home even though I see them all the time up there in the summer (outside) and there are 4 dogs outside now. I can see not allowing them in the wooden patio but on the grass? Then to pick and choose who can or can’t? Despite this, I would recommend and have.“

“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.“

“great specials. attentive staff. fun atmosphere.“

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

“I mean, you’re getting drunk, so…..“

“Amazing food quality. No seriously, amazing food quality guys! Put my drinks aside just to dig into the wings…. Has great vibe. Crowd is very well behaved, I feel so good sitting here right now. I have never reviewed a place on the spot but I couldn’t help myself because the food quality is awesome. Taste good, portion side good but the quality is just too good! 11/10 for this place I’m definitely coming back. I can only imagine the atmosphere on a weekend as I am awestruck on a Monday!“

“I really enjoyed my order! I got the Hell's Kitchen burger, and it was well worth the price. For an appetizer, I got the corn dip, and it was AMAZING! The only thing I didn't really care for was the fries, but honestly, I regretted ordering them the minute it left my mouth because you really don't need them with a burger like that. 10/10 — I would definitely order it again!“

“I can’t share my experience there but I ordered off of uber eats and the food is amazing! The price first had me sketchy thinking it wasn’t going to be good lol because how is it this cheap and the quality is better than a place I would pay over 25$ for. The ribeye steak sandwich is amazing cooked to perfection. The fries and cheese were so good and so was the cheesecake! I definitely am going to take the kids out here one day. My food was piping hot and amazing! Definitely going to be a returning customer 100000/10 I will be back🫶“

“Nice and homey. Wonderful staff and the Owner is AWESOME!!!!!“
