Dog Friendly Restaurants West Chicago

“Great hot dogs! Kids approved“

“I’ve worked in the pizza industry for 15 years and this is some of the best NY Style crust I’ve had outside of the east coast. Perfect size slices. I love the pepperoni and the BBQ Chicken. Pepper, cheese, oregano on the table and they offer like 15 hot sauces which is great because I like my pepperoni slices drenched in Valentina. The staff is always very nice. I’ve only been here three times and they make you feel like family. Plus two massive slice and a soda for $10 during lunch m-f is a great deal.“

“Super friendly staff and just a pleasant place to eat. We will go back for sure. Food was great!!! Kids just loved it!!“

“Great food and great service! Kasha was extremely attentive and friendly and gave great suggestions for food and dessert! We’ll definitely be back!“

“I was recommended this place by my coworkers and this is honestly the best chicken I’ve ever had at a restaurant in many many many years. Food is cheap, atmosphere is friendly, owner is super nice, they even have a selection of mild to spicy sauces that’s huge and some of them they even made themselves. That Yummi sauce sure is Yummy. Give this place a shot you won’t be disappointed.“

“Awesome food, the staff was very kind and considerate of dietary restrictions (allergies), and the service was great as well. Highly recommend the paneer tikka kebab, which was suggested to me by the staff!

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options at this restaurant, an entire section of the menu is devoted to vegetarian food. I personally had paper dosa and paneer tikka, both of which are vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: I have nut and sesame allergies, and the staff was very considerate of these issues.“

“I was looking for someplace to take my mother and we settled on Ellie's Deli. My mother is also Ellie and was tickled pink by the name. She was even happier when we left, after eating absolutely perfect Reuben sandwiches. I was actually tempted to get another one to go for my lunch today. We'll definitely be going back.“

“We love Egg Harbor in Geneva,IL. Fantastic menu, superb staff, all round great place. Bring back chilled overnight oats!“

“Great beers (as usual). Tonight’s review is for the featured “food truck” experience the Counting Crow. Full disclosure, we have never tasted CC prior, although online it looks like they regularly service most of the top Independent craft brewers for some time throughout suburban Chicagoland. Given their excellent reviews, was excited to taste. Nope. Didn’t realize their posted 5-7 limited quantities meant exactly that. By 6:00 pm on a warm busy spring Friday evening, CC was already sold out of 2/3rds of their (flash heated on a table top griddle) menu of Pork belly tacos and Shrimp po’boys (on a Friday, in lent)? Which only left the many hungry to enjoy their signature chicken sandwich (original, medium spicy and extra spicy) served with chips. While the sourcing of their chicken breasts (decent size/texture meaty and fried well) was good, their temperature plated was lukewarm and underwhelming. Maybe a pop up on the patio isn’t the best way to promote your food, Idk. Not a fan and can’t recommend. Definitely won’t go out of my way to sample again“

“Very great all around! We will be back again!“

“Also a weird waitress that overserved. kept asking if we needed anything literally every 2-3 minutes. Great menu. Not the cleanest place. run down and dirty“

“great bar food and professional bar staff. nice selection on beer and now serving malort!“

“Nice, relaxed atmosphere. I come here early on Saturdays or Sundays with my kids so I can try a couple beers and they can play pinball or the other games this bar has. Very friendly and courteous staff.“

“Sweetwater has such an amazing atmosphere with incredible tea and great staff. If you haven't tried them yet you should definitely stop in.“

“Trivia Tuesday! What fun. A little hard to hear, but great people handling this. Good food and libations. Service was a little slow count up the Dez was good. Didn't win, but may need to listen better. See you in October for trivia night“

“Great place to dine. Thank you for creating such pleasant atmosphere.“

“Good Taiwanese food!! Came here with my husband today for lunch, and they have very good lu rou fan! We also had their Taiwanese popcorn chicken and it definitely hit the spot 😋 I saw that they also have bah oan so I’ll be coming back to try that at some point! So grateful to have a place that can fill my Taiwanese belly!“

“I ordered the Fungi burger, and it was easily the best burger I've had in Illinois. Our server, Paige, was amazing, and the food was insanely quick, only took 5 minutes for the burger and fries that came with it. The patty was incredible, not at all dry. The atnosphere is great, awesome decorations, and they have an outdoor seating area.“

“Inexpensive home cooked to order- delish biscuits and gravy says my husband, my eggs cooked just right (I like lightly basted - yolks runny whites hard), the off the bone ham, grilled and just so tasty, pancakes are a bit fall apart, but the home cooked taste is just right.. extra hot water for my tea before I asked... Great job! We’ll def be back!!!“

“Stopped by the restaurant after work and what a great decision! Got the rib tips and fries but can't wait to try more! I've met John Jr. in the past but had the pleasure of being served by Sr. today. Such an amazing family very warm and inviting would definitely recommend for your next event or just an evening meal for the family. Thanks guys👌🏾❤“

“Stopped in and wasn't quite what we were looking for but bartender was very friendly gave us ideas for other places and in the process we ended up staying to have my first yingling in a bar. Great place would highly recommend.“

“I find myself at *Salem Oath Brewery* in Naperville, Illinois, a pocket of rebellion amidst the suburban sprawl—unexpected, almost subversive. This is the kind of place you don’t expect to find out here, the kind of joint that has no business existing in a town best known for cookie-cutter homes, strip malls, and places with “family-friendly” in the tagline. But here it is, dark, atmospheric, with the energy of a punk bar that somehow wandered into a Norman Rockwell painting and decided to stay.

The first thing you notice is that it’s unapologetically itself. The décor is all dark wood, steel, and minimalist lines, equal parts Midwestern grit and industrial chic, and there’s an undercurrent of irreverence in everything from the murals on the wall to the beer names scrawled on the chalkboard menu. You don’t just wander into a place like this—you seek it out. And you know you’re in for something interesting.

I scan the tap list. It’s clear this place knows its craft: no mass-produced, uninspired nonsense here. They’re pushing boundaries and making you question what beer can be—big flavors, bold experiments, and not a trace of pretense. I go for the “Devil’s Advocate,” an imperial stout that’s thick, inky, and dark as a moonless night. First sip, and I’m hit with layers of chocolate, espresso, and just the faintest whiff of smoke. This is not the kind of brew you drink lightly. It’s almost intimidating, a beer that dares you to take it on, and if you don’t respect it, it’ll humble you fast.

There’s something deeply satisfying about finding a place like this, especially here, in Naperville—a town that could be the poster child for safe, sanitized living. *Salem Oath* stands out like a black sheep, a beacon for those who crave something offbeat, something that doesn’t fit neatly into the expected. The people here get it. You can see it in the crowd—local misfits, craft beer obsessives, and a few adventurous suburbanites clearly out of their comfort zone, trying to make sense of the intensity in their glass.

They could coast by playing it safe, but they don’t. There’s no attempt to dilute the experience, no concessions made to those who might want their beer a little lighter, a little sweeter, a little less… dangerous. And that’s rare. That’s something to be celebrated. Because when you stumble onto a place that embraces being different, that refuses to compromise on what it is—whether that’s a brewery, a dive bar, or a tiny ramen joint down an alleyway in Tokyo—you know you’re onto something real.

So, is *Salem Oath Brewery* for everyone? No, and thank God for that. It’s a place for the wanderers, the curious, the ones who want to taste something that forces them to sit up and pay attention. And if that’s you, then this place, this unassuming little brewery in the middle of the Illinois suburbs, might just surprise you. But then, isn’t that what life is all about? Finding the unexpected in the most unlikely of places, and letting yourself be changed by it.“

“Best place ever good is great staff friendly and courteous clientele make you feel at home We take all our friends here Best place around!!!!“
