Went Saturday December 28th. Another family came in right after us. Stood at the front for a good 10 minutes, the manager came up and told us that they were getting tables ready. Only 1 table open for a larger party. We had 6 and the other party had 7. Another lady came up and even though she knew we had been there first sat the other people first. I explained that this was ridiculous and she just chuckled. Also she had this huge heavy jewelry hanging from her nose . Very unclean looking. Very unprofessional behavior . The only reason we go there = they have what my husband drinks. Their food is substandard and the staff unprofessional. We just left and went down the street to a much friendlier place with better food and service.Never again. Many better places on Main Street to go.

My food was subpar and a little over cooked but granted it was busy, the atmosphere and servers hospitality completely makes up for it, this I a lovely and fun place to visit with friends, also the vault in the basement is super cool

Last night about ten of us went in and everything was amazing. Our server was fantastic and even with it being a busy Saturday night, she kept drinks refilled and was very attentive. When our food came out the food runner got bumped in to and one of my friends got some soup on her jacket. It was no big deal accidents happen it was no one’s fault but the manager Lauren went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of. I truly was surprised the lengths she went to make sure our experience was wonderful. I’m a waitress and was amazed how smoothly the place ran on such a hectic night. Definitely will be back!

The food was good as always We are a large party of 18 and always expect a long wait BUT we were seated almost immediately at an outdoor table (our choice) and honestly for a early December day it was nice...BUT it was over an hour and a half for our appetizers and 2 1/2 for our food...This was in Celebration of my 60th birthday but unfortunately I spent a good deal of our afternoon just waiting for food. Every single table around us was served and gone long before our appetizers even came out. We realize that it is an incredibly busy season and Sunday afternoons are crazy in St Charles but honestly the wait time this year was just not ok. Please do better!
Fourth time coming here in two weeks! Exceptional service each & every time given to my mom & I by both Abby & Mike❣️Wow! Crystal the bartender always has a smile for us too! I didn’t want to forget to mention you! You can never go wrong ordering anything off the menu but our go to is a Reuben with green beans on the side. The pumpernickel is authentic & perfectly toasted. Topping that deliciously hearty bread with crisp sauerkraut & melty Swiss cheese 🤤 It’s delicious in every way❣️Compliments to the chefs for perfecting their culinary craft with layering every component of the Reuben with perfection 👍 The atmosphere is upbeat & we appreciate the music isn’t overly loud so we can enjoy our stay while visiting. Llywelyn’s also has an open vintage bank vault that can be reserved to eat in. Nice & quiet. Just come visit & you will agree!
Solid place! Great service, good food, and decent prices. Their consistently good, and hardly every too busy to find a seat.

I have been to Liywelyn's two times now. On my first trip, I had a decent time, the service was fairly quick and the food was Ok. The second visit was vastly different than the first. We were seated as a group and waited on by the bartender in outdoor seating instead of a waiter. The bar tender had to service the bar as well as our table. There were other waiters/waitresses, but we got the bar tender. He was quick to take our drink orders. But then we waited another half an hour until he got our food order. Twenty minutes later, we got our appetizers. He spilled some of the pita breads from the artichoke dip, and the fried pickles were cold in the middle. Another half an hour went by and our food was finally brought out. Three beef and cheese sandwiches, two orders of pub fries, and an order of sweet potato fries. They were all cold and well over cooked. The bread was hard and dry, and there was no flavor to the food. It was the worst experience I've had at a restaurant in a long time. I would not recommend nor will I return to this establishment.

Seated ourselves as the sign stated. Then sat for approx 20-30 minutes watching the waiter go to every table except ours. He wouldn't make eye contact with us. After 30 minutes we got up and left. Wasn't even offered waters....

Still a busy location (do to ample foot traffic on busy Main Street), but suffers from lack luster food and understaffing.
