“I give 5 stars to the bartender Terese she is the most friendliest person there she has such great people skills the other bartenders are so dry when I see terese is not working I just don’t bother. The establishment is nicely remodeled and the food is still good considering it’s quick bar food.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed having our wedding reception at The Emerald Green. The new event coordinator, Dani, is truly fantastic. She is very familiar with event hosting and has a solid understanding of the wedding industry. It was a pleasure to work with Dani for her reliable communication, attention to detail, and professional coordination of vendors and reception timeline. Dani respected our floor plan design so the seating arrangement was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. There was ample seating and space for our DJ, photo booth, dessert table and a gifts table. Our guests especially loved the food and the open bar. Overall, we were pleased with the entire server staff of The Emerald Green. If you are interested in a beautiful venue to host your next event, we recommend this!“

“This garage door professional was able to come the very next day after I called! They fitted a brand-new garage door motor for me. I didn't have to spend hours at home waiting for help or trying to figure out who could fix it. The installation process only took a little over an hour!“

“I love to visit Pablo's on a Wednesday to support Patricia. She is a GREAT bartender. Her personality is the reason to patronize Pablo's. She's here on Wednesdays & Fridays. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back"“

“Friendly bartender nice environment“

“I’ve been all over the U.S. and by far this is the best bar I ever been too mostly locals but great company would 10/10 recommend if you are stopped in the area, only downside they don’t serve food but if you get food nearby feel free to bring it with you but there are plenty of options nearby!!“

“My favorite Suburb bar with the coolest people“

“Really great place with such a good rotating selection of beer. The owners are awesome and care deeply for the community and their customers.“

“One of the all time best in Chicago and knowing the owner is big on my list“

“Love my tavern family always😎🥰🥳✨“

“I come here every week or so with my 3yo nephew and it’s our favorite spot. We’ll get some pizza, maybe something from the salad bar or mac and cheese or soup from inside the Whole Foods, and grab some food and I’ll get a drink from the bar. They have a bunch of card and board games to play while you’re there. I also love the outdoor seating in the summer; they have a tv outside too to catch the game, as well as two tvs inside. Matt is amazing and knowledgeable about the drinks and food, and is very kind to us. We truly look forward to seeing him on our visits. Highly recommend to anyone who wants some good food, drinks, and vibes! :)“

“Live bands and stepper sets every Sunday about 5 o'clock til 9 or later. Always a mature crowd. Drinks are affordable the whole day but happy hours are anytime before 4 or 5 in which everything goes up $1 after. It's a Harold's next door and skyway bowling across the street that has another restaurant inside if needed.“

“Great pizza, but dropped the ball with service on recent visit. This is one of our favorite places for pizza in the area, and we go there regularly. The food is always good, but today, we sat there for over 20 minutes without a single person stopping by to offer us water, offer to take our drink order or even just acknowledge our being there. It wasn’t even especially busy - most tables were empty. We gave up and went somewhere else.“

“313 is always a comfortable place. So many good nights there.“

“Excellent old school, warm, and fun Chicago restaurant, bar, and, if you need it, banquet hall. The bartender/server was very friendly, the delicious food was from scratch, and I had my favorite fried chicken in the city. My boyfriend had a delicious shrimp basket with massive shrimp. Lots of fried fish options, too. Great time!“

“Going there tonight to watch the 🐻 Bears beat the Rams I will let you know what I think about the place“

“Sometimes the owner of uncle Bobby's bar will Grill some food. The atmosphere is very nice everybody knows each other a lot of active and retired fireman and policeman attend. Also a lot of Armed Force branches Services men and women attend this Bar. Very friendly place they also have a pool table a jukebox and a dart board, highly recommended“

“Nice place good bartenders good jukebox. Old fashioned bar“

“Stopped by Loncar Chico for dinner—solid neighborhood spot. Had the burger with grilled onions, side of fries, and a couple cold beers. Burger was juicy, fries were crispy, and the vibe was chill. Crowd was mixed, mostly regulars, felt real local. Service was friendly but kinda slow once it got busy. Nothing fancy, just good bar food done right. Would def slide back.“

“I absolutely love this place! 😍 The people who work here are so wonderful and welcoming, they make every visit feel special 😊✨. The atmosphere is cozy, the food is delicious, and you can really tell they care about their customers 🍴💖. It’s one of those spots you’ll keep coming back to because of the friendly vibes and amazing service 🙌🌮.“

“Now if yall want to throw a party Fly Nation is where is at. Recommend a 10/10🥰 thank you for the best bday experience“

“A very clean bar. I didn't eat anything there or even know if they have a kitchen. The bartender was very nice and outgoing. The crowd was like an after work crowd. We were meeting friends there to go to a ball game. Had a great time, the time we were there. I would go again.“

“We went there for the Halloween bash yesterday. If you haven't been here before, be fore warned they do allow smoking here, so you know ahead of time. So don't complain about it, vote with your dollars if that isn't your thing. Normally it isn't mine, but we met some folks up there so no biggie.“

“I primarily go to Vlado's for karaoke on Wednesdays but have also been there for a few birthday celebrations and have never had a poor experience. The bartenders and the owner are very nice. It's a nice neighborhood bar, no frills, and great prices!“

“Our first visit to this steakhouse was exceptional from start to finish. The hostesses were warm and welcoming, and we appreciated being able to choose our preferred seating.
Our server, Melissa, was friendly, knowledgeable, and her recommendations were excellent. Most of all she was thoughtful. When she saw my camera come out she offered to take pictures and after I told her I wasn’t going to order a cocktail due to a headache, she checked in on it later on. She made for a great experience.
The Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked with a delicate texture and delicious sweet sauce, while the ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium and was juicy, tender, and full of flavor.
Chef Arthur stopped by our table and we were able to personally compliment him on the incredible lobster and shrimp dumpling appetizer, which was absolutely delicious.
The combination of exceptional service, outstanding food, and genuine hospitality made for a memorable evening. We look forward to returning and trying other dishes although it’ll be hard not to order the Chilean sea bass and ribeye again because they were that good!“

“Had an amazing dinner!! Food was 12/10 Had the steak and lobster special and the poblano pasta.. don’t forget the molten cake for dessert. Every single bite was amazing!! Our server had way too many tables in her section. She was very rushed, but also had people around helping fill our drinks so kind of made up for it. We will be going back for the steak and lobster very soon.“

“GREAT PEOPLE, BARTENDERS, AND GREAT SPECIALS!“

“Great place to decompress. Music, sports on tv and friendly service…“

“Nice place good crowd chill atmosphere they got tables there for you and your freinds, mixed crowd decent place to stop by if your bar hopping with your freinds, oh and karaoke sometimes they have karaoke...go and show your skills for a day or just have fun singing just because you like singing so what if you dont have a voice live alittle.“

“Great place to hang out and it’s Dog friendly ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The joy I feel when I go to Home Plate Pub is indescribable! The bartenders are the friendliest and most efficient in all The Ville! The quality of the coke has gone down a bit, but the patrons that frequent Home Plate are some of the finest people that you’ll ever meet. The only other bar in Hessville that was FAR SUPERIOR the Home Plate was Brothers II, and sadly that fine establishment is no longer in business! RIP RON & SUE“

“We have Been at Theo’s at least 20 times in the last 3 years. The first time was the best and last night was the last. Food was a lot better 3 years ago. The staff seemed like they cared about you buying the right or the best value, Last night we were ripped off. David was our server. Telling how great the specials were with out telling us the price. My wife wanted seafood not steak. So we ordered her the seafood crab legs, lobster tail and shrimp. Crab legs tasted like they were frozen for a long time, the lobster was Tuff. Shrimp was good in garlic butter. I had a steak. With mushrooms. Do your self a favor ask what the price for any specials . DON’T BUY ANYTHING WITHOUT KNOWING THE PRICE. SeaFood Special $175.66 Who the hell charges this for a pound of crab legs and a lobster tail? Never again! Buyer beware!“

“great people calm environment“

“if anything just go there and tell them that your gonna "TRY ONE" and it's smooth sailing from there.hello to all the Sportman patrons!“

“If you’re a real hookah smoker, this is the place. The hookah is incredibly smooth, high quality, and definitely the real deal. The atmosphere is classy, relaxing, and not getto at all!! Even the crowd is respectful and classy, which really adds to the experience. Everything is always clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently great. I come here a couple of times a week, and every visit has been amazing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a premium hookah spot with great vibes and top-tier hookah!“

“Only 1 star on the food because they don't really have any food other then chips, other then that everything about this place I love, it's a total vibe, they have touch tunes, plenty of dart machines, and a pool table. Great little local bar.“

“LOVE THIS BAR! Many many fun times! Always a friendly face behind the bar!“

“It's a very nice relaxing place. Real nice environment to go to if you are a member there which I am and I'm very happy being a member. The bartenders are very polite and very professional. The owner of the club she is a very very nice lady very welcoming to all her members and guests. Thank you sokol club for having me as a member.“

“Lynwood bowl has been around for a very long time and is s great spot for bowling. While it’s a great spot, they do have a small arcade room for kids, a large bar area for adults with a pool table and slots. I would say they have about 20 lanes or so. Leagues are always in and out so plan ahead. I’ve been coming here for about 20 years and even though it’s a smaller business, still is a great spot to go to.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, service and drink options. LARGEST MOCKtail selection I’ve seen in NWI. Great place to relax, order Barton’s pizza and unwind.“
