“Our dining experience at The Graceful Ordinary was truly exceptional and unforgettable. From the moment we entered, the welcoming atmosphere, ambiance and attentive staff made us feel right at home. Our wonderful waitress, Victoria provided impeccable service and instantly felt like a long time friend with her warm smile and charming personality. The menu showcased a variety of innovative dishes, blending bold flavors and beautiful presentation. Sitting at one of the Chef's tables, made our evening a memorable experience. Chef Chris and his team expertly crafted a delightful array of dishes with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a culinary delight from the Bone Marrow, to the Octopus Carpaccio, the Brussel Sprouts and finishing it off with the most delish dessert, Butterscotch Pot de Creme. The cocktails are a masterpiece too. I enjoyed the Opposites Attract cocktail. We cannot wait to return to The Graceful Ordinary to explore more of their delicious creations. It's truly a must-visit destination for any food lover. Highly recommend!“
“I was the day of coordinator for a recent wedding that rented out MadCats for their after party. I worked with Sauvio who had great communication and is super personable & a great host. He worked the event!! Great expert. Great food. And an incredible atmosphere for all the guests. Everyone had a great time!!“
“I enjoyed the Escargot, Oyster Rockefeller, three cheese potatoes, Mac and Cheese, an the cocktails. Steaks looked great and large enough to share. But the most important item was the bar service staff! They were amazing! I recommend anyone going!“
“Atwater restaurant was superb. The only down side was the aspect of handicap accessible entrance and outside entrance handicap parking. The ramp wasn't very conducive for handicap wheelchairs, scooters or walkers. It is my request that the Herrington really examine accessibility to all would be ideal for future guests.“
“We LOVE this restaurant, and will always come back for a fun/delicious night out, but we always seem to have something missing or incorrect with our order. The servers are very nice/accommodating, but it would be preferable to have our orders come out correctly the first time.“
“If anyone likes Polish food, the POLISH AMERICAN BISTRO in Barrington is amazing. So authentic, delicious, clean & owners are very friendly. Small, casual with great desserts too. They give you plenty to eat. If Borscht is soup of the day, I highly recommend it. 8 of us loved our various meals & will return! We want what the other guy had haha!Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking right in front. Plenty of room to wheel even in the bathroom. Appropriate hand grips & toilette height.“
“We dined in tonight and it was busy and took a little while to get menus and drinks but it was totally worth the wait. The food was AMAZING along w the margaritas flight. There was only 2 servers tonight you could tell they were working so hard and so fast to accommodate everyone. We’ll definitely be back!“
“Atmosphere makes or breaks a bar. Place was fun and tons to do. Between video gambling to board games. Definitely a great place to hangout with friends and have a few well prices great drinks. Service was fast and bartenders very friendly. 10/10 “
“As promised! Gotta review this place too! Walked over from BOLD last night to finally give this place a try. So much Bourbon and Whiskey! Beautiful atmosphere too. It's a fantastic place to stop for a tasting. Owned by BOLD, you can also get their appetizers and small snacks. Make sure to ask the team behind the bar for their suggestions, you won't be disappointed! We'll 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.“

“I can say that this a good place to grab some beers and food. Great service, even after a week of going for the first the guy at the Bar knew what beers my buddies and I had the first time. Good ambiance although it does lack vegetarian options. We did have their Spinach Artichoke dip with chips, tots and pretzel. They do have board games, cards, Jenga game. Live singing on Fri night (not too loud), decent number of TVs to watch Sports.“
“Lovely homey and down to earth place where you can chill and relax. Everyone is friendly.Veteran owned. Thank you for your service !!! ❤️??❤️My husband had the Italian beef sandwich and he said it was wonderful. Awesome fries.

“First time visiting this establishment. We came to listen to the band PBJ. Had dinner (BLT) which was very good. Sound was surprisingly good for an old bank. Enjoyed the music, venue and food. What more can you ask for. I understand the band PBJ play here every other Thursday and they were excellent. I will be back!“
“We had our wedding at hawthornes and it was such a fun and beautiful experience. Heidi was so attentive to my guest and most importantly my dog. She made sure everything was taken off our hands and helped make sure it was a stress free day. She took such good care of us and made sure we had the chance to eat and drink while we were busy greeting our guest. The food was outstanding and I will definitely come back to host future events. Thank you so much guys! I wish I could give you more stars.“
“I cannot say enough good things about River Lee's!! Drinks are cheap, patrons are fun and its amiss to have a bad time here! Everything about Lee's is fun, wholesome and loving, everyone feels like family and that's what I want as I chug my whiskey.“
“This place is awesome as staff and customers are very friendly and food is always good. If you want something light the vegetable soup is great and comes with a warm dinner roll. Bar service is great and there are daily food and drink specials. Pizza is also excellent!!!“
“I had my wife’s birthday celebration dinner (party of 12) at 5:30 pm yesterday (located in the private dinning room). The entire experience - start to end was beautifully executed by the management and staff. An absolutely outstanding experience! The table was beautifully decorated, the room was very appealing, and very importantly the entire restaurant is acoustically set up to allow for comfortable table conversation (it’s not too loud).The waiter, Nate (Nathan), was very professional, attentive, and proficient. He had a great personality and sense of humor. The service was as good as it can get! The other’s assigned to our table did a nice job executing good service as well. The quality (in every regard) of all of our meal choices was absolutely superb! We eat out often (Italian and otherwise), you can’t get a better tasting meal at this price point anywhere else.Closing thought: my wife and I, as well as another couple frequent this establishment occasionally throughout the years, and it is always consistently an outstanding experience.I would highly recommend you consider this restaurant for your future dinning needs.Thank you - everyone involved last night! My wife and I are so grateful to you all.5 - STARS“
“WOW-ZAH! The Blue Heron Cafe!!have been craving a good burger - for weeks. So I decided to try a place nearby with a great word-of-mouth following & reputation.WHAT A FIND ( ok, NEW= To Me)This was the most amazing Char grilled-hand made Burger I've had in YEARS!! All topped with sweet grilled onions & the freshest butter lettuce, ripe juicy tomatoes, & BBQ sauce (on the side)......this level of burger was totally unexpected! I got a lovely fresh salad on the side- Yum!The Blue Heron Cafe = is WAY more than a local sports bar! ☆☆☆☆☆ Cheers to the Chef! And to your sweet bartenders!“
“So at first it was about 8 but then ended up being 15 of us went to this bar after the Wine Exchange closed. There was about four people there when we got there. We each had a shot got a drink. Some tried playing Janga game and they were told they could not play inside. Shots were way over priced. Place seemed decent. Bartender seemed unhappy we were there?“
“Just recently discovered this South Elgin gem. Been coming here after High school football games. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. There menu is very good, haven't had a bad meal yet. Even the regulars are welcoming. Plenty of TV's to catch a game, just learned they have live music too on the weekends. Come and enjoy. You won't be disappointed.“
“Fun atmosphere! Our waitress was super nice and friendly! We got our food fast! They have amazing burgers and macaroni!Dietary restrictions: We can't have certain seasonings due to health issues and they accomodated.Kid-friendliness: My kid doesn't like any topping on his Mac so the waitress made sure that there was nothing weird on it. My kid is picky.“
“Great beer selection! Friendly service. You can bring your own food, they have complimentary snacks. You can also order from Wise guys Pizza next door. They now have a TV with sorts playing and an even better selection of beer. Eat/drink local!“
“Coco was our waitress and she was Awesome! We will definitely be coming here again. She was friendly, made conversation, and despite being busy didn’t keep us waiting. Very great experience.Parking: Was sort of crowded but was pretty easily able to find a spot.“
“I wish I lived closer. I absolutely love coming here. The service is excellent. The good is very good. They won because every keeps their expectations low because it's bar food, but it's actually very good. And the vibe here is just fun! I had one of the best salads I've ever eaten. The Thai Spinach salad. Soooo good and spicy! Loved it! We also had the Spinach artichoke dip, which was fabulous. My 17 yr old son had the 8pc wings and a burger with a sunnyside up egg on it. He loved it and said it was the best burger he has ever had.Vegetarian options: There are options, but it's not a separate menuParking: The parking is essentially the end of the Costco parking, so it can be crowded.“
“I use to clean there for about 30 yrs on Sunday morning before they open. I did St Patrick cooking 20 years until couldn't doit.. love going there in the morning or afternoon. Great people work there and so of my friends too.Kid-friendliness: I now lit of them and they are great too.“
“Great food and service on my most recent visit. I was in a hurry between shifts at two different jobs and the bartender was very attentive and fast (didn't get her name, but the blonde working at 3:30 Saturday afternoon is a badass bartender). I'll be back again!“
“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“
“A quaint little dive bar. Great people and very good drink specials. The night I went had a great band with no cover. Make sure to tip the bar tenders well because you'll have a little extra in your pocket for all the things they offer at other places for twice the price.“
“Great neighborhood bar! This is a perfect spot to grab a drink with a friend or another couple. Not a huge place, nice vibe but not too loud to have a conversation. The drinks were good and not crazy expensive. Would like to go back if they ever have drink specials, too.“
“Love the atmosphere here. Definitely a favorite bar hang out in St. Charles. Pinball machines, darts, lots of fun stuff! The drink options are great too. They have a fun costume party close to Halloween which I recommend attending. The music is always great too! Highly recommend! Bartender is always kind and attentive too.“
“Stopped in tonight for a drink with a friend & saw they had $2 tacos (Tuesday night). I ended up getting one of each & all of them were so good! All had good flavor & the mushroom taco had a little kick, which I loved! There was also trivia going on at the other end of the restaurant but it wasn't too loud at all - we could still have a normal conversation at the bar. The bartender was attentive & very friendly! I'll definitely be back for the tacos!“
“I was here last night with the guys…no complaints at all. Service was great, food was pretty good for a sports bar and just at-home vibe all night. I had the all-you-can-eat fish fry and Sam Adam’s drink special, yummy!Would definitely come back!“
“Solid spot for tacos and margs! They have a dinner special where you get 2 margaritas 6 tacos and a side, I thought it was a good deal. I don't know if that dinner special is every day though. The margarita comes with a creamy foam, and surprisingly very good. First time having a marg with a foam before.“
“We were in the area on a staycation and left our cocktail fate up to yelp. We figured we had nothing to lose.Holy moly did we have a BLAST!!! What a great little entertaining gem so close to home. Our bartender, Nicole, was attentive and super nice. I guess they're revamping their cocktail menu so we asked for our favorites... she hit the mail on the head with every cocktail we ordered. She's a true mixologist, y'all! She knows what she's doing behind that bar. The musician of the night... Hysien Gavon. What a talent! Engaging and funny... he made such great connections with the crowd and drew each person in. He played some classic songs and created great, unexpected medleys of old and new. He looked like he was truly enjoying the moment. Obviously, we came for the cocktails and for a few songs but Hysien was the reason we stayed longer than we intended. Between the drinks and the entertainment ... this place absolutely made our night. We will be back. Five stars!“
“Outstanding Carne asada Great service. I had a fantastic traditional Mexican meal Very nice owner who served us. It was like home. I will absolutely be back for a karaoke Saturday I can't wait to try the house Margarita. This is the kind of place people are looking for when asking about some authentic Mexican food w a lil American vibe thrown in. I will keep coming back Maria's. Thanks for an awesome lunch“
“My mother-in-law has dementia and she had run into here, so naturally I had to run in after her (always turn on the child locks on your minivan lol). When I entered the doors, I expected to be greeted with Betty screeching and threatening to call the police, but what I found instead was the warm welcoming embrace of the Winning Circle. The sound of video gaming machines sang an angelic chorus to my weary ears. The bartender welcomed me to take a seat. That's when time stopped, and I saw bathed in glorious light the words, "Taquitos $4". As in a dream, I ordered without even realizing that words were coming out of my mouth. They served me a colossal drink, and I plopped into one of the comfortable seats by the video one armed bandit. Now I know what you're thinking, you're probably wondering if the chair broke. Don't worry, I have been known to crush metal chairs lol. I'm not offended lol, I am just healthy and not afraid to express myself. But the chair DID NOT BREAK! Anyway great place, I won nearly 300, which paid for all those taquitos and drinks. Update - the police ended up bringing Betty home. Best day ever as I didn't have to drag her sorry old carcass around for the rest of the day. Thanks Winning Circle!“
“this bar will definitely surprise you!.... Yes,from the outside it looks like nothing...in fact... if it wasn't for some neon out front telling you differently, you would probably think the place was closed down (and has been for years). BUT... for a small bar they definitely packed allot of fun into it! there's pool tables, darts, video slots and an arcade game. they got touch-tunes so you can play music and the bartenders are super chill and friendly?, and with the right crowd on the weekends, it can turn up:) so check it out!“
“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.“
“We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Started with Saganaki appetizer. It was delicious. Baked French onion soup was one of the best we’ve had. Plenty of free warm baked bread. I had a fillet, my wife had the chopped steak. Both were perfectly prepared. No room for dessert. Server Nico was friendly and attentive. A great meal and excellent experience.Wheelchair accessibility: 4 hc parking spaces right outside the door.“
“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.“
“i Was on 3 week training camp for my coming up fight..i went to dance at this place and God damn let me tell you it was the best camp training I've ever got... i forgot I was at a nightclub... fought like three dudes couple of black eyes but it's okay.. downed a couple of modelos and we were back at it .we need one of these in Jersey come to jersey“
“Jerry has the best service at this establishment. Jokes are on point as well. Very attentive with our food. He made sure everything was hot and out to our table quick. Drinks never made it to the bottom before we had another drink (best part of it)Super nice and chill guy. Jerry you the man!“
