“First time and everything was great. I'm a HUGE burger snob after owning my own burger place and these made the cut as one of the best I've had. The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were better than I expected. So many great options it was hard to choose but what we had was awesome. Now to get back more often to try even more.“

“This place is fantastic.. such a cool eclectic place.. the atmosphere most defenitely biker ish. I can't wait until the weather gets warm and the place is alive and kicking. The out door area is huge and they have bands etc. They also do karaoke on Saturdays around 5.The staff is wonderful ..efficient and pleasant. Food was great.They have a a crazy selection of knives...swords..patches pins leather wear and very unique artwork..And ammo..bring your FOID card.“

“People very friendly. Owner spent long time with us on a question I asked about a display. My half pound burger was huge and juicy. Comes with chips. If you want fries, it's extra. People that come in say hi for the most part. Small town charm.“

“.we got take out... the chops were cold, ,,tough . Awful fake mashed potatoes and gravy was very cold,.. the last time we had BBQ ribs so fatty and cold... And the sauce was bad tasting too. At least the mashed potatoes were real. I will never order from you again.Ed and Mary Dergance“

“We stopped in Oglesby for the night as we traveled from Wis to Florida. ZomNye't is one of the nicest bartenders we've ever met. So friendly and efficient too. She constantly scans the bar for anyone needing service. The prices are great, the place is clean and free pool and jukebox the night we were there. They do not have food ( frozen pizza only) so we went across the street for great Mexican and ended up going back to Claudette's for an after dinner drink. Can't wait to stop next time we are passing through.“

“The food is 5 stars. The service is 5 stars. The ambiance with a cool sports bar vibe is 5 stars. My wife and I dined in at the bar on a Monday afternoon. The bartender provided good service! I ordered a cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese with fries. My wife ordered a cheeseburger with American cheese and fries. My wife had a sprite to drink and I had a water. The soda is 1 dollar!! Both our burgers were fantastic, tasty, and juicy! The burgers are 1/2 lb burgers! The frozen fries here are awesome ! We loved our lunch and we will be back!“

“Great bar to sit back have a few beers and relax. The bartenders (Ashley and Alexis) and owner (Jay) are great people to spend a relaxing night with. Watching out though for Alexis's shenanigans aka nerf gun lol and she's got game and mini brain puzzles!“

“Wedding reception, they catered. The dinger doods were delicious (catfish, bluegill, chicken strips and fries). Bar is well stocked, nice atmosphere, video gaming if desired, shuffle board and darts too. Great parking in rear of establishment.“

“This is a very warm and inviting neighborhood bar atmosphere. We had the pork tenderloin sandwich and the bourbon burger and both were cooked to perfection. Very generous portions with french fries. You will not leave hungry we will be back.“

“Cool spot, not far from starved rock, a nice place to go to get away from the heavy crowds. Food was great, I had the grilled chicken, great amount of spice.The servers are super friendly!Great view of the river!Wheelchair accessibility: Had to go up stairs. I did not see an elevator“

“What a pleasant surprise. Tucked in Water Street along the river. We stopped in for a late lunch and started off with the breaded cauliflower. It was exceptional and did not need any dipping sauce. The cook knows how to cook. My wife had the chicken parm sandwich. Grilled. It was a huge piece of chicken and she said she is going to eat it all because it was so good. I had the cod nuggets, french fries, and coleslaw. The cod was really good. Large chunks and the breading was perfect. Light and not heavy. Coleslaw was homemade and was also very, very good. Service was excellent. No waiting on refills. Our waitress had a great personality. The inside was very welcoming. Lots of television everywhere. Nice music playing in the background. We will definitely come back again. Top notch. Separate bar and dining room.“

“Ashanti was so kind and chatted with me! Coming up alone, with kids, is overwhelming and Ashanti made it easy going for me. I could have chatted longer! You've got a great person working for you and I hope you know that! Thanks Ashanti!“

“The burger, tenderloin, fries are all amazing!!!! Gonna have to come back to try more off the menu! Stopped in here after a day of hiking at Starved Rock and it was absolutely amazing! I got a burger and fries, my gf got a tenderloin. We cut both sandwiches in half and did what we call “splitskeys” so we could both try the burger and tenderloin. Fantastic. Both are massive, the burger was a single 3/4#! Great service, sat ourselves right away after walking in and waitress was there within a minute. Very reasonable prices, gonna try the jumbo wings next! Family friendly atmosphere, plenty of space inside and the tables aren’t jammed in too closely. I highly recommend Skoogs, you should try it, you won’t regret it!“
