37 Best Bar & Grill near Willow Springs

“Went here for a Lions Club meeting, had a burger, it was delicious, moist, and on a grilled brioche bun. The staff was nice, the restaurant was nice and clean. The place was very busy. A must try, and a great addition to the neighborhood. I highly recommend that you try this place, I can't wait to come back.“

“Excellent place to chill and watch a game! The food is amazing from the wings to the tacos to the nachos. Great drink specials as well. I definitely recommend it. The bartenders and owner are great! Give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Always enjoy your place ! Our go to when visiting our children and grandchildren in Lemont ! Food is always great and the service is top notch and super friendly! We don’t even consider stopping anywhere else because I would end up there getting my fav meatloaf dinner for the ride home anyway ?❤️❤️❤️Kid-friendliness: They treat my granddaughter like the the princess she is and they call you by name“

“Food was pub style but just what you want if you want pub style. Wings, nachos, burgers, and fries were all very good. Beers are good and cold, mixed drinks are very, tall? Very friendly staff. Wishing them all the best in business. Did I mention the prices are so low you almost feel guilty? Could use better lighting and decor, perhaps in time.“

“Went there to see a band that a couple of people I knew are in. Enjoyed them.There were a lot of us - putting space at a premium. The food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. Because of the crowd, service was a bit slow but still capable.“

“We heard their fries were awesome and had to give it a try. We chose to go around 4pm on a Saturday and beat the dinner crowd, sat at the bar and had speedy service all around. They also have wood bar toppers to give you for food orders at the bar since the way the bar top is originally built isn't the best for eating. There is a decent tap list and their duck fries were as good as claimed. I can't speak for their busier times but when we went it was clean, we were greeted and our food came out quick. Overall, it's worth a try to decide for yourself.“

“Phenomenal place to eat drink and be merry. The staff is always friendly and has solid recommendations on any beer on tap. As well as food recommendations. Even for the items marked as sold out the waitress made sure to let us know what the had to replace them.“

“Stopped in with my sister (missed a bus had to wait) and I am so glad we did. We caught the last hour of Happy Hour and tried the wings... Amazing and the sauces served on the side is just a great idea. I was able to try them all. Not a bad one in the bunch. Will be back.“

“We enjoy our visit every time! The food is great and the mimosarita's are very good. Definitely try the brisket bowl.Absolutely delicious. Our waitress Shannon was very attentive and kind. I appreciated her service and hospitality. Will definitely visit again!“

“Amazing!! I thought Au Cheval was the best ? until I tried Burger 89. We ordered Guacamole and Salmon Salad, and it was so delicious. It's not over-priced and I could tell that it's a quality food. I like this place a lot and I would recommend it.“

“Met a friend here for dinner. I glanced at the menu before arriving & there were several tasty sounding items. My friend & I split the tuna poké with chips ? I ordered the Derby Burger which was mouthwateringly delicious. My friend ordered the Greek chicken with Naan which also looked yummy & my friend confirmed. Our waitress was training but she did a great job ?? I would be more than happy to return!“

“I've never had the lunch but this is by far my favorite bar in the area. Staff = GREAT! The crowd of people that come here are also just great. Cash only, but that's good because I can take my behind home when I'm low on cash.“

“Tucked away in Hickory Hills on Roberts Rd just North of 95th, The Sock Bar & Grill is a sports aficionado's paradise that serves up not only a winning lineup of games on multiple TVs but also a menu that'll keep you coming back for more. The moment you step in, the atmosphere envelops you in the true spirit of a sports bar. The buzz of excitement fills the air, amplified by the sights and sounds of games on every screen. The digital jukebox sets the perfect soundtrack for your visit, adding an extra layer of energy to the lively ambiance. One of the standout features is the wrap-around bar, a hub of activity where the barmaids are on point, delivering swift service and deserved attention to patrons. They greet you with genuine smiles, ready to recommend a drink or chat about the latest game. If you're seeking a bit more privacy, the separate rooms for private parties offer a cozy setting for celebrations and gatherings. Now, let's talk about the star players on their menu. The fried pickles are a game-changer--thick-cut and perfectly crispy, they're a savory delight that keeps you reaching for more. The loaded nachos bring a fiesta to your taste buds with layers of cheese, fresh toppings, and just the right kick of spice. And let's not forget their flatbread pizza--Chicago style at its finest, boasting flavorful toppings atop a crispy crust that's pure satisfaction. The Chicago dogs pack a punch of flavor, although they fell slightly short without the iconic poppyseed bun. Nevertheless, the taste is spot-on, a tribute to the Windy City's famous dog. But it's not just the food that scores big at The Sock Bar & Grill--the drinks are fantastic! Whether it's their signature cocktails or a classic brew, they've got something to quench every thirst.

Overall, The Sock Bar & Grill hits a home run with its inviting atmosphere, mouthwatering menu, and stellar service. It's the kind of place where sports enthusiasts, foodies, and friends gather for an unforgettable time.

“You will not taste better Burger in Chicago than here . The servings are so big I had to take half of it home ,“шопска саката “needs better tomatoes ? they’re green , and a better choice,of Otentic cheese service by срћан was really great“

“Visiting from Virginia and was looking for that Chicago cuisine everyone raves about. Well this place exceeds expectations. The curb appeal is gorgeous. The staff are amazing. Pete makes an amazing blue cheese dirty martini. I’m very particular about my martinis and he overdelivered. So the food. They have created an environment where bar meets fine dining. The presentation, the taste…impeccable. We had the hummus and garlic parm wings…they did not disappoint. Then the presentation for the burger with their logo stamped in the bun was the finishing touch. Definitely in our top ten across the country.“

“The food & service were great! Kelly was an excellent server and so patient with my autistic little brother. We enjoyed our burgers & the wings were great.Only con is that the women’s bathroom smelled horrible. It appeared to be clean, but the smell was really bad. Perhaps some bleach or re-tiling would do the trick.Overall, great experience. I just wouldn’t use the bathroom there.“

“First visit to see Harold and The White Boys. Met the owner and son Joe. Nice, hardworking folks. Had burgers drank beer and enjoyed Harold's talents. Great friendly crowd. Westmont downtown is a peaceful locale with easy parking galore. Thanks for having us over.“

“We came here after a zoo day and the entire family enjoyed it. We got the cheese curds and Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and they were both delicious. The fish tacos were great, but the corned beef tacos were out of this world! Highly recommend this place for an afternoon lunch or family dinner.“

“For Friday date night it was perfect! Appreciated the security safety first right. Service was good, they waste no time to clean up. The food, best i had, seriously returning for the food for sure. It was authentic, homemade delicious. We started with a bucket of Estrella beers, tried the Michelada since they are known for the best of Chicago and a cantarito. So good! Music, TVs, everything was nice. For a Friday it was busy but it felt very chill. It was a perfect Friday night. Thank you!“

“Stopped here after a hockey game in Darien and wanted to review. Super clean! Staff (Dan) was awesome, so friendly and helpful. Food was awesome, huge beer/drink menu. Apple cranberry salad was so good. Great stop and hope to come back again soon.“

“First and formost GRACE IS THE BEST BARTENDER IVE EVER MET!! Fun, inexpensive (tons of daily drink specials) and has pool tables, dart boards, bags outside, nice outdoors area, jukebox, and updated slot machines, they Also play most sports games on their big flat screen televisions :)friendly staffA good timeMy favorite bar“

“This place is tops!!! Absolutely great food in a hole in the wall bar. It has a "bar" vibe, but don't let that dissuade you. We will even bring our kids here during the day. My favorite item is the flame burger, made as a chicken sandwich (you can substitute chicken for burger), with fries and ranch. Would often come here for date nights and would also get carry out anytime I was in the area. It's just delicious food. They will also do some seasonal cocktails, which are fun to try, and always have good prices.“

“Great Bar, great owners and great bartenders!! As for James Suefert’s review, I have been in the bar three times you were, and let me explain, the first time you fell asleep at the bar, the second time you tried to walk away with the Family Fued workers phone and the third time you propositioned one of the bartenders in the worst way. I can understand if you feel your service was below service, it’s you!!!!“

“First time there, I was having service done to my car, two blocks away, when I stumbled into this place, it's a quiet with what it looked like the regulars, enjoying there beverages, I was taken care of right away, and I ordered the 3/4 lbs cheeseburger, with fries, the beer was cold, and the cheeseburger was big, and very tasty, I enjoyed it a lot, it's a nice place to go have good food and good service, I've been back several times since.“

“Nice little place. Have some nice games to play and some bingo nights and stuff like that. Food is really good for a small little bar. Wait staff was friendly and service was great. If your looking for a nice casual place to go hang out while you have some food and play some games and watch some sports , give it a “

“Cold drinks and loving atmosphere!I love there Wings & huge juicy Burgers, They always got great drink specials everyday!.The place is so clean Everytime I go there! It's my second home ? the staff is amazing the new guy Ed is a Rockstar!“

“Came here for a birthday party and they catered. Thats the only reason I gave food no stars. I have no idea how the food is because I didn’t have the chance to try it. We were all dancing later in the night on the dance floor. But be warned, a lot of guys will stare. Have fun with your girls to be safe. Bathrooms only fits one person at a time unless you wanna get kicked out.“

“Looking for something new we thought we’d try Front Row for carry-out burgers on Sat. With the expectation that it was likely we’d be disappointed. We are very picky eaters and have been looking for a GOOD burger in or around Homer Glen. We both had the build your own burger along with Parmesan Garlic fries and hot wings. We were told 20 minutes max and the order was ready when my wife arrived. Very pleasant male took and brought out our burgers. BOTH BURGERS WERE ORDERED AS “medium” as we had little faith that we get anything other than a well done burger. We were happily surprised to find that they were a good sized 1/2 Lb. cheddar, grilled onions and mushroom burgers with Chipotle mayo The garlic butter Parmesan fries were excellent too but I would ask for a little extra garlic butter on them. The hot wings were a complete disappointment. They appeared to be reconstituted from yesterday, were overcooked and very tough. If that’s an indication of “normal” then I would pass until more attention is given to this popular offering. I will stop by and discuss our experience with the owner soon cause you don’t know what you don’t know and Front Row is deserving of a little effort on my part to keep it open and improve the wings as well as to provide some VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK on the burgers!They were simply OUTSTANDING! Best burger we’ve had in a long time! For comparison purposes we used to be regulars at the Country House (until their burgers went to hell (smaller, different type/blend of ground meat). Not the same as it was when it opened. Anyway, we stopped going there several years ago. Our other safe place was Claim Jumpers in Oakbrook. Another very reliable burger place.In short I wanted to go back the next day but decided on a planned attack instead where one of us would order a burger and the other one of the very tempting sandwiches they offer every time we go as a method of broadening our ordering options in the future.In short, if you have a taste for a burger, stop reading and just go! I will add more info as we test more entrees etc. ENJOY!“

“My husband found BCT online and decided it sounded good. I am so glad we went with his find because BCT was delicious! I hesitated when we pulled up because our kids were with us, however it was perfect! The whole family was welcomed in, the staff was so friendly and helpful! I loved that the menu had some personality and they clearly like their cheeses! We will definitely stop by again during our next trip to the area.“

“This is one of those gem bars on the Southside of Chicago. The atmosphere is awesome - not too loud so you can actually have a conversation. The food is top notch with the burgers being some of the best you'll ever eat. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. Overall, a must visit bar/restaurant.“

“Such great food! What a great atmosphere! They are very simple and they let you customize what you like. I got a burger and some fries and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. I got a root beer in a bottle and that was good too. I'll definitely be coming back.“

“This place is awesome! Just moved to the area. Burger is outstanding, bartenders friendly (they put up with a lot from rowdy regulars). For $6 you get an amazing burger and fries, I left very impressed. Every neighborhood needs a great local like this glad I live so close.“

“We had our son's first birthday here and cannot say enough good things about Gilhooleys. The manager Jim was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. The staff the day of was amazing and friendly. The food (we did the brunch option) was so delicious. We got so many compliments about the food and the space from our guests. It was our first time hosting a party so we were nervous, but Gilhooleys made everything easy for us. We are so grateful for such a wonderful time!“

“Better than expected. I enjoyed the jalapeno cheddar brat and my daughter loved the pretzel and the cheese filled polish sausage.Beer selection, though limited and bottle only, included some European beers which went well with the food.It's more of a gambling facility than a restaurant, but it was good for what it was.Service was excellent and prices were half off when we went so it was quite inexpensive which provided great value for what we got.“

“Daja Brew Bar and Grill is undoubtedly one of my top choices. Their food selection is both delightful and scrumptious. The staff, unfailingly friendly and professional, adds to the overall experience. I’ve had the pleasure of hosting numerous family gatherings in their party room, each time an exceptional experience. Their food variety is truly outstanding. Furthermore, their craft beer and cocktail offerings are impressive. Dottie, the owner, runs an exceptional business and ensures she personally greets and acknowledges her patrons. At Daja, you’re not just a customer; you’re treated like family.“

“Service from server was efficient and professional. Portoins for the Ruben Sandwiches and fries were very generous. Prices very reasonable for food and drinks in our party.Had a great St.Patrick's Day there! Their slot machines were very generous as well !We will definitely be back for lunch, drinks and slot machine fun!Parking: Large parking lot.“
