“We were in the area after visiting the Trading Post, we noticed the sign for fish fry on Fridays, stopped in around 1pm and was warmly greeted by the bartender, a lot of regulars were inside but she did not ignore us and took our drink and then our fish order. Food came quickly and was delicious! I had the fish tacos. We really felt welcomed and we were satisfied with the whole experience.“

“Awesome food and fresh Guinness!“

“Their nachos are beyond delicious.“

“Went with the Hubby on a Saturday date and had a great time!

Bartender was very attentive. Looking forward to going back!“

She's attentive to all her customers and totally fun!
Drink prices were very reasonable. Cute little friendly neighborhood bar and I love it! We'll be back 👍🤗“

“The Spring Beach Inn is the perfect little hole-in-the-wall gem! From the moment we walked in, the friendly vibes were unbeatable. The bartender, who we later learned was the owner’s daughter, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The owner himself was sitting at the bar—a charming older gentleman with a knack for cracking funny jokes that had the whole place laughing.

The patrons were just as warm and inviting, making us feel right at home. They even gave us a free shot of Malört to celebrate our first visit—such a fun and unique touch! Plus, the free popcorn was not only delicious but added to the cozy, laid-back atmosphere.

The Spring Beach Inn feels like one of those special places where everyone knows your name (or will soon). We can’t wait to come back!“

“This was my brother and our friends home away from back in early nineties ! Jill and Tom were get. Came back in last weekend, so many memories, great times! Same old bartender was there OMG! Was sad not to see Tom or Jill there. Wasn't thrilled with a drunk young customer that kept going behind the bar and making her own drinks. Just kept thinking Tom and Jill will never have a loud that back in the day. We did have a great time!!! It was like the old days again. SHOCKED no Tom but you can play pool ? that wasn't aloud back in the day. Great times , Great place!

Parking: Can park behind the bar“

“Nice time. Played pool and darts. Great night“

“It's been over two weeks since my family and I visited The Polish American Bistro. It would be remiss of me not to leave a wonderful review of this lovely restaurant! Ania and Darek, the owners, are the nicest and most hospitable people ever! Since I have family in Poland, it was fun to talk to them about their homeland. Now about their food . . . it's completely amazing! I ordered galumpki (ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage). The tomato sauce on top was so delicious, it spun circles around the sauce my grandma used to make (sorry, Grandma!)! My husband ate a breaded pork cutlet with mashed potatoes. SO tasty! And my daughter opted for a cheeseburger that looked and tasted so great that we even returned the next day to order another cheeseburger to go! Our entrees were accompanied by a side of two types of salad - one made of marinated red cabbage, and the other was their super delectable authentic Polish sour cream, cucumbers and dill. As you can tell, our dinner itself was a 5-star experience. Last but not least, I must discuss their DESSERTS! When you walk into Ania and Darek's restaurant, your eyes will immediately be drawn to their multi-tier display of desserts. Unfortunately, since our stomachs were full after our delicious dinner, we couldn't even think of dessert. However, take-home was still an option! So I asked Ania to escort me to the dessert case and tell me about her sweet treats. It turns out she owns a bakery in another suburb, and all the desserts are made on location at the bakery FROM SCRATCH! So we took a few home (see photo), ate them the next evening, and they did not disappoint! I loved them all, especially the vanilla custard inside the eclair and fruit tart! The chocolately hazelnut dessert was a Kinder Bueno torte. I want to go back and try more of these amazing treats! You should really go check out The Polish American Bistro, whether or not you are Polish! They have food for everyone. Dziękuję Ania and Darek!“

“Great food and drinks always a fun place“

“Great place to hangout! Even though it's a cash only bar they have an ATM. Drink specials everyday and it's cheaper than most bars. Bags and pool tournaments on Tuesday's starting at 6PM. Never a dull moment! 😀😊😀😊😀😊😀😊“

“Ever heard of Cheer’s well this is a chill relaxed bar where you can enjoy your beer surrounded but mellow cool people. Hello to the stars of the location!!! Bartenders; Brad love you xoxo you awesome and Theresa thank you love for provided ann anrtist with tools lol, you both are absolutely amazing and fun!!“

“Outdoor dining area was very cute. Food was good. Service was good! Will def be back. Taco pizza is fire!“

“On a very hot and busy evening, we took the only seats available, outside- the outdoor seating happens to be a beautiful sun room with a nice view. We came in mid dinner rush on a Friday evening and this place was PACKED, so naturally it was a little busy, and the kitchen had a nightmare on their hands to work through. That being said, the food came out a little slow, and without any sort of prompting, or anything, one of the owners (a VERY nice lady) came out and apologized for the wait, then comped our appetizer for coming out after the entrees, and to top it off she threw in a free dessert for the "trouble" which as far as we were concerned wasn't any trouble at all. The product itself was well worth the wait. I personally NEVER finish my entrees at restaurants, and I absolutely destroyed the Caribbean Burger I ordered. SO worth the wait. Portions are great, food quality was awesome, the entire staff was friendly, despite it being so busy and so hot, the whole experience was awesome from walking in, to closing out. 20/10, would absolutely come here again and would recommend this place to anyone who loves a good Midwestern meal with a great atmosphere.“

“This place is nice to order some of there very nice tasting food...I am from Boston Massachusetts and wanted to watch the New England Patriots on there tv and eat...and everyone and everything ŵas great!

Parking: This place has free parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes I has easy access to wheelchairs“

“Definitely a very calm atmosphere. This place is a gaming area and on the weekends it turns into like a small flea market period There is a Mexican restaurant to the left side of the building and a bingo area to the right side of the building you can get all authentic Mexican food and enjoy some time with family and friends for dinner at their nice restaurant that they have it's definitely worth a trip. Due to the many facilities that they have attached to each other I'm not exactly sure about the hours so that you'd have to double check me for leaving.“

“Good food, great environment, and good customer service. Definitely recommend.“

“If you want a romantic date night, this isn't it. But if you want some of the best pizza in Illinois, huge burgers, great prices and friendly staff then give them a shot. You will never regret getting a pizza here I can promise you that. Been around forever, picnic tables outside by the Fox River and a great spot to relax along nw hwy. Love the Dead End“

“Came here for the first time recently. Don't know why it took so long! We live close by. Great onion rings and pizza, good fast service, enjoyed the free popcorn too! Very nice, clean atmosphere. Will definitely come again!“

“my first time and it's an absolutely fun place to hang great food drinks and the staff is amazing! I highly recommend it !“

“Lots of potential here. Cozy with a large outdoor area including seating with fire pits. Wood is $15 if you want a fire. Clean restrooms and friendly service are found here along with newer but tight indoor seating area. Will go back as this was our first visit. Live guitar player/singer outside named Josh that sounded very good but froze his fingers off... Tap Room, give him some heat! Met friendly and fun people so looking forward to stopping in again. It's located right across from Klein's on Plank Road.“
