“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back“

“Ordered from here for the first time today. I got the rigatoni vodka which was delicious! They also put a little box of cookies in my order to share with my staff. How sweet! I will definitely be ordering from them in the future for a staff luncheon. Thank you for a great lunch!“

“Off the beated path the Milk House sign pops out at you. At first glace it rustic look give you a feel for that old grocery store.
Yet, once inside you discover why there are so many cars in the lot.
With many choices of freshly made Ice creams, it's hard to decide which to pick.
The staff is friendly and after many samples. There is ample seating in a separate building to enjoy your treat.
Great place to visit.“

They sat us down right away.
The wait staff was very friendly.

“Usually, there is a food truck this time was pizza individual sized and tasty. Maybe a couple dollars more than I had expected for a a bit bigger than personal size but, very tasty. Atmosphere is relaxing and casual. One patron brought their dog, very chill. Great beers on tap along with wines and porters. Seating is inside and outside. Can't beat this place for leisure. If lot is full they have the grass roped off for parking.“

“The food is affordable and delicious. They are currently short staffed so be prepared to wait or head to the bar for your order. The bartenders and cook staff are all very friendly and make you feel welcome. The outdoor seating is very nice and comfortable.“

“It's your traditional Chicago-style hot dog venue I won't call it a stand cuz it is Brick and Mortar not a trailer like Portillo started in in Villa Park. The hot dogs are exactly the same cuz they're using Vienna skin on dogs so when you bite it you get that Crunch and that loud snap make you get all warm and fuzzy inside french fries are identical“

“Been wanting to try Short Stacks for breakfast for a long time. So glad I had the chance this morning. Simply ordered the 3 pancakes with strawberries and whip cream. My friend had the omelet. Both were Delicious! But...the best part of the experience was our server Amanda. Start to finish, what a Blessing to have her wait on us. Greeted us with a smile and such a great attitude, seemingly glad to see us and excited to serve us. It was not crowded at the time we were there so we had some time to chat with her...so pleasant. She was attentive to our breakfast needs and very prompt with everything. Highly recommend this place.“

“i recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant that I felt compelled to share. I went there for dinner with my fiancée, mother, and our two young kids, ages 3 and 1. Initially, the dinner was fantastic; we were enjoying our time together and the food was great. However, after about an hour and 20 minutes, we were abruptly told we had to leave because of other reservations. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I still had my drink left, and we had just paid our tab As we were leaving, we encountered a manager and inquired about the situation. To our shock, she responded by asking if we knew how to read English, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. I pulled up my reservation online and nowhere does it say there was a time limit. To make matters worse, as we walked through the bar to exit, she followed my mother and physically shoved her three times. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any establishment, and it left a sour taste in what could have been a lovely evening. We called the cops to make a report as the manager "lucy" (she told me this was her name) should never be able to touch a customer. Especially since we were not refusing to leave AND my kids were there to witness it all. In the car my son kept asking why the lady pushed my mom . This shouldn't be something I need to answer as it never should have happened. She tried telling the cops she did not have the "intent" to hurt but to get us out . Yet we were not even refusing to leave...only letting her know it was rude as we still had stuff that was unfinished that we paid for. I understand that restaurants have to manage reservations, but there are respectful ways to handle these situations. Additionally, she left it up to the waiter to tell us we had to leave . I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision. And please , if you were in the bar / restaurant when this all happened , speak up on how wrong it was of her to push someone like that.“

“Enjoyed a great healthy yummy family dinner 6 of us last night. Bison meat tender and I really enjoyed my warm Power Poke Salmon Bowl! Thank you for the great service!“

“SweetSpot is great. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Doreen is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing frozen ice. Must come back. 10/10.“

“My niece and I go here often. I'm not big on raw fish (it's a texture thing) but I fill up on the California rolls and all of the others that are filled with cream cheese and imitation crab and avocado. I especially enjoy picking the plates off of the carousel as it feels like I'm hunting and gathering and working hard for my meal.“

“If you like a super thin crust that is crispy to the middle, this is your pizza! Mozzarella sticks were handmade and fantastic! The cookie skillet was an incredible end to this meal. We also sampled the rigatoni and pasta scampi. We will be back!“

“Awesome experience with coffee or alcohol. Cool layout that offers a great experience and drink. Fun seating and options. Staff was great and we will be back.“

“Came in Saturday night and was the only customer, not one hello nothing. All 4 employees didn’t acknowledge me. I asked if my order was done and no response. Finally one lady said my name just put the box on the counter and walked away. Sorry my 6 pack order was an inconvenience. Don’t think I’ll ever come back. You lost a monthly customer.

Edit, the owner called me directly and had some kind words and reassurance it’s not how they run things. I will definitely come back for another try.“

“What a great place, the food was absolutely amazing. The chef special I had, tortellini with peas had a light alfredo that was made my taste buds sing!! This is probably the best Italian restaurant I've been to ever, no joke, and our server Waylin was just a delight. I will come back here time and time again. This was my first time. It will not be my last!!!!!“

“Great craft brewery with tasty treats! Highly recommend!“

“From the moment we stepped into Old Republic Kitchen & Bar we knew we chose the right place to celebrate. We hosted my husband's retirement party here, and the evening was nothing short of spectacular! The atmosphere is perfect blend of rustic warmth and modern charm. We were greeted with friendly smiles and impeccable service from the ENTIRE staff. From drink orders to desserts, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The party menu was perfect, beautifully presented and the food was outstanding! What really set Old Republic apart was how well they accommodated our group. They helped us throw a retirement party that was personable, joyful and truly unforgettable! A special thank you to Jorge for coordinating every detail of our event; and to Chef for the beautiful presentation of food and the entire staff who made our party a success! We are forever grateful! We highly recommend Old Republic Kitchen & Bar for parties, special occasions, or just a great night out!“
