New American Restaurants near Winfield, IL

“It's a small but cozy pub. We've been here several times for dinner. We've driven by this place often and not sure why we never went in. We usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are very friendly. Troy has made us some great cocktails. I recommend Coffee Shop After Hours with mezcal (or vodka), cold brew and cocoa bean. The Rye Old Fashioned is really good. The Bloody Mary (only served during Sunday brunch) is outrageous with that slider on top! They have a decent beer selection also. The prime rib special is delicious and perfectly cooked. Rocco burger is good too. We enjoy coming here place. You will need to be mindful of the hours because they're not typical.“

“Theresa and the team at Klein Creek helped us host an exceptional memorial dinner following my mom's funeral in their Pier 19 restaurant. With very little lead time, their team helped us select a menu, determine THE PERFECT space for our 40 guests, accommodate our flower delivery and set up our table settings and candles just as desired. The restaurant and clubhouse were recently renovated, which made the location even more appealing.What could have been a sad event was a wonderfully warm evening with wine flowing, laughter, terrific food and more importantly--outstanding service. Their banquet team was so attentive and friendly. The enclosed bar and fireplace made the venue such a terrific environment for gathering.I can't thank this team enough. Great communication, easy to work with and a truly special event. Top-notch, all the way around. THANK YOU!“

“Food was great as usual. We had a short wait even with a reservation, but not too long. The staff is so friendly, welcoming & efficient. We brought friends that had never been and they already want to go back. It can be a little crowded but definitely worth it.“

“Had a light sandwich which hit the apot but the sweet potato fries were excellent. Maria provided great service frequently coming by to ask how everything was or if we needed anything even thought she was buay. Good times with my kid for basketball game.Vegetarian options: I do wish they had a turkey burger.“

“Consistently Excellent. I’ve been here around four times and I always want to keep coming back! What’s not to love about a chef owned farm to table restaurant? I’m partial to their salads with blackened chicken, but everything else I’ve tried has been fresh and made with high quality ingredients as well. Stop in- you’ll be glad that you did.“

“Great food, great drinks and best of all great service. I enjoyed my huckleberry ipa along with our brussel sprout appetizer and the pot roast sandwich. Maria provided us with a great experience, even on a packed Saturday evening. We enjoy the TV dinners as well, and grabbed a few of those to go. We will definitely be back! We qlso appreciate the additional support from the bar staff - Claire and Desi. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“The best breakfast place I've ever been to, bar none! I love the egg breakfast, but it's a tough decision between a big that and the parfait. But no matter what you pick, you must have an order of biscuits, preferably a full basket!“

“Atwater restaurant was superb. The only down side was the aspect of handicap accessible entrance and outside entrance handicap parking. The ramp wasn't very conducive for handicap wheelchairs, scooters or walkers. It is my request that the Herrington really examine accessibility to all would be ideal for future guests.“

“Ube pancake with coconut flakes was tasty. Everything I got to try there tasted good however the price point is high for the food portion. The atmosphere and vibe are great and the service is very attentive. I paid thinking we were paying for the cost of the vibe. A nice place to go for special occasions but probably not for regular occasions.Parking: I parked at Wheaton’s public parking which is a few blocks of walk away“

“Food was good. Service was great! Atmosphere is okay not bad but really dim lighting for me. The paper on the tables kind of cheapends the experience makes it fell a little less fine dining even though I completely understand why they do it.“

“I love this Family-owned business and especially that it is owned by a veteran. My family has been coming here for years, and my go to was always the Shrimp tacos! My last time in with a friend I tried a Burger. I highly recommend The Burgatory. Goat cheese on a burger- Who knew? It's drool-worthy. The other new addition I'm obsessed with is the Fried Pickles and Cheese curds appetizer. Why has no one else thought to combine these two before? And their homemade pie is unbeatable! New flavor each week. The staff is fabulous and these guys just celebrated 15 years in business. Cheers to Ellyn's Tap & Grill.“

“My wife and I cannot say more good things about Ground Level 105, from top to bottom and inside out. We have been going there for about 3 years now, and I can say with 100% honesty, no other place treats us better and like family more than the staff there. The staff is always so genuinely happy to see us, remembers our milestones (we just had twins and the staff have gone above and beyond to be accommodating in ways we’ve never experienced before) and always make us feel special.And that doesn’t even cover the amazing food and service they provide every time we’ve gone. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is always on point. My only complaint is that we can’t go every night :)Sincerely, thank you Patti, Nomi, and all others that have routinely made our experiences there nothing short of amazing every time!- DM & NM“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. The service is top notch. The food is amazing. The prices are incredibly reasonable. This is my favorite new restaurant and it’s not even close. If you live in the Chicagoland area, you have to come to this place.“

“I would give this place 100 stars if able! I had to plan a rehearsal luncheon for my son's wedding in Joliet in mid May with only 2 months notice. Since we live in North Carolina, I had to do all the research online. Thank heaven I came across SixtyFour Reserve Room in a Google search. The manager, Andrew, contacted me right away and was so helpful in making suggestions for our event. Cheryl, the events manager, took over in finalizing all the arrangements. There are so many different options for appetizers, meal combinations, wine, cocktails and beer! Our guests were able to choose their favorites ahead of time. When we arrived on the day of the event, we were so delighted by the venue! Everything I had requested was in place, and Cheryl and our amazing server/bartender, Alex, immediately greeted us and made everyone feel welcome. The appetizers and meals were served efficiently and right on the timeline I had planned. The food was incredibly delicious with a pleasing presentation. Our guests had so much fun with the Wine Stations, and the whiskey lovers appreciated the variety of choices. Everyone raved about how much they enjoyed the food, drink and ambiance. Best of all, I was able to relax and enjoy our guests since all the work was done by Andrew, Cheryl, Alex and the kitchen staff. The cost was very reasonable, especially so close to Chicago. Highly recommended!“

“Overhyped. It takes a while to get a table at this place. Signed up for the waitlist, waited 2 hours, then got put on another list and waited another half hour. The food was good but I’ve been to other breakfast spots with not as hectic of a wait time. The tres leches french toast was the best thing we ordered. I’d be back on a slower day.“

“We had a wonderful “southern-style” lunch at Waterleaf with 2 of our good friends. We all very much enjoyed the experience. Our waitress was sweet and very accommodating throughout our lunch. The food selections were wonderful, even though the crawfish soup was a tad too spicy for my taste. But, everything was great. And, as we have experienced before, the desserts we an extra special treat. We are so very fortunate to have Waterleaf in our local community and know that we can always count on having a wonderful experience while helping the culinary studies students achieve their goals and learn their trade.“

“Food was good. Ordered our steaks medium-rare and they came out more medium, but honestly that wasn't really a deal breaker because the food was still pretty tasty. the waitress was so so nice and attentive and the evening was wonderful.“

“The wife and I decided to give Proof 5 a shot since we have tried almost every restaurant in downtown Wheaton. Proof 5 is a stand out in the area! From the atmosphere to the service and the best part the food. Our server was top notch! We started with Bison Meatballs, the flavor combination of the meatball, polenta and arugula was very good. I choose the Grouper dinner and having lived in Florida and eating Grouper regularly, this Grouper was AMAZING! A very good portion that was seasoned just right not to take away from the flavor of the fish. It was served over rice with a sauce on the side which paired perfectly with the Grouper. There was not a single thing left on my plate! My wife ordered the Filet Medallions, cooked medium, and those were exceptional as well. The steak was cooked perfectly and tender. It was paired with creamed spinach, potatoes and tomato’s. Everything complimented each other! We ended with dessert. I had the German Chocolate cake in a jar and HOLY FVK! The single best dessert I have ever had! I would definitely go back! Was it pricey, yes but when it comes to food to truly get what you pay for. I have no problem paying a premium for excellent food and service!“

“1st time. Parking difficult. Dining too noisy to carry on conversations. Food (fish & chips) great. Appreciated having haddock. On the expensive side (glass of wine cost the equivalent of a bottle).Parking: 7pm on ThursdayAfterdriving around finally found place on street 3 blocks away.“

“We are not from the neighborhood and the waitress was very welcoming. Great fun and a rowdy crowd for the Bears game. We had chicken wings and an appetizer platter which were delicious. There "beignet" platter is off the chain. We'll definitely be going back“

“My wife and I love this place! We've been on and off regulars for a few years now, and it just feels like our very own Cheers. We started coming for the beer and cocktails from the fully stocked bar because it's so close to home, and the atmosphere and quality food choices on the menu drew us back for more. TOn top of that, the entire staff here are so welcoming and friendly. These are good people running a fantastic business like nothing we've ever found anywhere else in this area. We always bring our family and friends whenever they come to visit. Strongly recommend, two thumbs up!!“

“Tonight our family took fall portraits and our photographer gave our daughter a plastic spider ring that quickly became a very prized possession. After photos, we went to dinner at Ditka's Grill. Our daughter was using her bread plate to play with the ring. At some point during dinner, the bread plates had been cleared… ring & all. I went out on a limb and mentioned it to the hostess. My daughter had gotten curious about the ring but so far, we had avoided meltdown territory. The hostess let the General Manager, Zach, know about the situation. About 10 minutes later, Zach approached our table, knelt down in front of our daughter, and held out the (freshly cleaned) ring. “I believe this belongs to you, miss?” he said. My jaw is still on the ground. Thank you Ditka’s Grill and Zach for going so far beyond customer service. You are a GEM! Also the steak, seafood, cocktails, and wine were spectacular - as usual.“

“My friend wanted us all to get together at this place for some dinner and bingo on a Saturday night...Yelp the directions and a way we gooooo! When we arrived it had a cool family vibe, it's in a corner strip mall so there's plenty of parking. As we walked to the restaurant we saw strings of lights and several picnic tables to eat outside which we can here in February so looking forward to checking out this place in the summer nights. When we arrived they had several tables, high top tables. A long bar table to sit and eat and in the back of the place more picnic tables. When you want to order you would have to order though their qrcode at the table and they would bring your food to you, or order on their 2 standing tablets then wait to pick up your order. We even had a staff come to our table for a friend who couldn't get into their app. It sounded like if you have a group that's some people were ordering with the code separately, you have to take turns so the table number comes up with our order. I believe this is a cashless establishment as I didn't see anything paying in cash or a register. Ok on to the food... All our orders came in chinese take out containers in different sizes depending on what you got. I got the 10 pcs wings with buffalo sauce, if you wanted more or another different sauce like bbq that's extra. It's not bad juice regular sized wings flats and drummers but they were not seasoned/flavorful by itself so I sauced it. The fries were ok a bit soggy sometimes I like that vs too crispy. Hubby got the chicken sandwich he liked it. Typical sandwich. As for our drinks we got waters in blue plastic cups but our slushy booze came in an 8 oz glass. I got piña colada with booze was strong and good. Hubby got the hurricane slushy with booze strong and good. They have several flavors of the slushy machines that you can see in the pick up area. They offer with booze and without booze so kid friendly. They service different salads bowls, chicken sandwiches/beef burger, chicken tenders, and chicken wings. They have kid friendly food like Mac and cheese. We came here on a Saturday night for some free bingo with prizes it's about 2 hours of fun. Fun for us because 4 of us won a bingo prize of $5 off of food on a Saturday bingo night so we're coming back lol! One of the prizes was over $1k cash prize to fill up your bingo card in 52 numbers or else money will roll over! Overall, it's a nice place for family night , friends to hang out and those who love playing bingo... Tip, if you come on a Saturday night after 5:00pm it gets packed so come an hour or more to get a table to eat dinner or stay awhile if you want to play some BINGO.“

“Best pool hall in the county and surrounding area. The tables are super well kept! They were all recently replaced. The balls are polished often, and there’s always quality chalk. The staff is friendly and are quick to help. They also host leagues here, so sign up for APA!Parking: Always plenty of spotsKid-friendliness: Not SUPER kid friendly just because of the music volume and content, but people bring kids.“

“Starting with the potato leek soup, wow, the smoke flavor in this soup really elevated it to a new level. Then the burnt ends served over BBQ potato chips, it was a double good combination. (Pro tip: the chips that soak up the burnt ends drippings are dynamite. Finished of the night with the cowboy Reuben... Seriously good “

“I had the ginger salmon, which had a good flavor but was seriously over cooked and quite dry. Flatbread appetizer was very good.Parking: Adjacent to a nearly abandoned indoor mall, and this is on the edge of that parking lot, so there's unlimited parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access and all on one level.“

“Don’t let the name fool you. I was surprised how much seafood was on the menu! I got the blackened seabass with crab meat and creole sauce w/cold crispy green bean with parmesan, garlic, black pepper. It was delicious! My co-workers got salads and the portions were huge! Will have to come back for lunch. No room for dessert ?“

“PourHouse is on of mu husband's & my favorite place to eat. We LOVE their salmon & I literally crave it. But the noise level is so bad, we no longer try going with friends as conversation is difficult even for two of us sitting together. The music is fine, but the volume's WAY to high! We eagerly await patio weather, when we WILL invite friends“

“I was at Artisan for lunch. The food was very good. The staff is very friendly and the service is as good as what I had for lunch. If you are in the Naperville area or staying at the Marriott that the Artisan Table is, you will enjoy the food.“

“Our 1st time here. It was a Saturday night so it was very busy and loud. They had free entertainment so that was a nice touch. Our server was prompt and efficient. Sandwiches were very tasty. Serving sizes were generous. Food delivery was fast but the fries were only lukewarm. Will go back again and try other menu items.“

“We had our daughter's bridal shower here, and I can't say enough good things about Olivia and her team. Olivia listened, really listened, to my vision for the shower and made sure the day went just like we had hoped. It was perfect! We were in the Clocktower Room which felt so comfortable and inviting. It was beautiful overlooking the golf course, and we loved having the little balcony to hang out in too. The food was delicious and several people commented on how good everything was. The servers were so attentive and helpful throughout the entire time. The whole day couldn't have gone any better and it's absolutely due to the Arrowheard staff. Everyone was so wonderful to work with. Thank you again for everything you all did to make our day so special!!“

“We came here for breakfast and we will definitely be back. The bartender - who was also our server - was friendly, efficient and attentive.My husband ordered the corned beef hash bowl and I ordered the Southern Benedict. The bowl had corned beef hash, breakfast potatoes, cheese and eggs, and a side of toast. The Southern Benedict was an english muffin topped with bacon, perfectly poached eggs and sausage gravy, with a side of breakfast potatoes.Everything was cooked to perfection, seasoned well, and right-off-the-griddle hot. Plus, the prices were quite reasonable.We will return to try some of the other dishes on the menu, and I would urge everyone else to do the same.“
