5 girls stopped after a day of snow tubing on a random recommendation. Food was great! Service was quick and friendly. Reuben was amazing. Even the owner did a table touch. Would highly recommend lunch or dinner here.

Good American food, burgers are awesome & veggie pizza was good too. Between 4 kids meals, 3 adult meals and a pizza we had a $ 70 bill. Not too bad. Good place to stop by after Wilmont.

Decided to stop in for lunch one day after going to KC’s a time or two for late night drinks and music. I must say I was really surprised by the quality of the food. Tasted fresh and had great portion sizes for the price! Will definitely be back to eat again when in the area!

I hate being a poor reviewer but… a cool little place and all of the locals seems to have fun and know each other. That aside, the food was average and what really pushed me negative was the bathroom. Disgusting! All I could imagine was that the kitchen looked like the bathroom in terms of cleanliness and I had to get out. I won’t be giving this another try. Disappointed — I really want d to like it.

BURGERFAIL We’ve been waiting to try this place for eight years and we finally decided to cash in on that bookmark. When we walked in the bartender told us to grab any table and a waitress would be right over. We honestly sat at our table for around 20 minutes before a waitress came over to talk to us & give us menus. I actually started looking at the menu on the webpage I was so hungry. Our waitress was nice but when we went to ask her questions she informed us that she was new and might not know the answers. I’m assuming that the long wait to get menus was the fact our waitress was being trained. Our waitress made two critical mistakes while we were ordering. The menu says burgers are cooked medium. We asked her if we could get both of our burgers cooked medium rare and we were told yes. Both of our burgers came out well done. I would have been happy with them being made medium. The cook here doesn’t really know how to cook a burger to the correct temperature. We didn’t complain because we don’t like wasting food when there are people starving in the world. I also don’t send stuff back because I don’t want a pissed of cook messing with my reorder. I also asked our waitress about the fries because I typically like my fries crunchy. She informed me that the fries were shoestring potatoes. I decided to not ask for crispy because those type of potatoes are to thin to go crispy. When the fries arrived they were large French fries and not shoestring. I was really let down because I would have ordered them crispy but she gave us the incorrect info on the fries. I don’t always eat fries, so when I order them in a restaurant I want them perfect. I was really let down with the meat quality of the burger. Our patties had a gamey taste to them. They reminded me of the frozen bubba burgers you buy in the store. I even had a flashback to my high school cafeteria on burger day. It is so sad to pay money for a patty like that. I wish I could go back in time and order something completely different off of the menu knowing what I know now. The sad part is that my wife didn’t even eat her beef patty. She disliked the taste so much that she removed it and ate the bun with the lettuce, tomato & onion. On a side note the bun is the star of the burger. I believe I read it came from a local bakery. That bakery makes killer buns. I wish I knew where KC’s orders them from because I would go there and by buns. This place was packed and it’s a cute roadside bar. It was alive on a Thursday night with two volleyball games going on at the outside courts. There’s also a great old barn stage and a barn bar complete with juke box and flat screen TV. It seems like a great bar to socialize with the locals. The best part was the $ 6 domestic draft pitcher deal. That was the deal of the century. We technically got pints of beer for $ 1.50 each. They also bring over free popcorn which is an added bonus. I will give this place 5 stars for heart. They seem to host many charity benefits for people in need. That is high in my book. Communities need more businesses that are actually part of the community and care about the people that live around. Would I stop back in here for a beer? Yes I would but I would probably never come back for the food especially the burger. We had such high hopes walking in but our dreams were crushed after the first burger bite. Our waitress was new and I can’t fault her for starting out but she’s our connection to the kitchen and she needs to know if a burger can be delivered medium rare and what type of French fries they serve. It’s been a while since I’ve been truly let down by a burger and this was one of those moments.

I really hate giving one star reviews. You can see that the owners put a lot of love into this business. This review is solely based on the taste and quality of the meat in my burger. I cannot remember the last time I was completely misled by Unilocalers. I’m not sure if they’ve just recently changed the meat or everyone that’s written a review has never experienced a great tasting burger before? I had this restaurant book marked for about 8 years. I was craving a good juicy burger and from all of the reviews I had read, this is what they are known for. We finally decided to head over to try it out. We walked in and it took about 20 minutes just to get a menu.(Thursday at 6pm) We placed our order and I specifically asked the waitress if I could get my burger cooked medium rare. She said«yes, not a problem!» The burgers arrived at the table about 15 minutes later. I took my first bite and nearly spit it out. It was so gamey. Nothing about the cook time was medium rare but the biggest issue was the terrible taste of the meat. I immediately took the entire patty off and had a veggie sandwich for dinner. I have to say the best part about the sandwich was the bun. I will never go back because I absolutely hate paying for poor tasting food. I have to give five stars to the sense of community they offer with their volleyball tournaments and charity events. Kc’s crew: I would seriously consider upping your burger meat quality. Your patrons deserve better.

First time here. Had the fish fry and a burger — both were excellent; huge portions! The prices are very reasonable. Outside there is volleyball and live music. The atmosphere inside is energetic. The service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely return.

great place! Went camping around there and stopped by and loved the mac and cheese burger that they have. Sucks that it is so far from my house, but great place, great atmosphere.

Good old fashioned bar. They know what works and what doesn’t. Busy at times which is always nice to see. Normal selection of bar food, cold beer, and good stories.

Came here after going to the Wilmot Flea Market because it’s so close. Let me be straight up, the food is only decent. Not awful but not amazing either. I say it is decent because it was rather plain, lacking any taste or flavor whatsoever. Maybe it was my entrée that I ordered that was like that, maybe not. First off, they give you popcorn which is awesome! They gave refills if your popcorn was running low. The idea of giving popcorn was smart and it worked out perfectly since I didn’t have to order an appetizer! Haha but for lunch I decided on the Chicken Tacos. Honestly, I was starving so it felt great to be eating something but there wasn’t much flavor. It was just… Plain. I decided to put the hot sauce on which helped but in the end I think it was just the chicken in the taco that didn’t have any taste to it. My sister ordered these chicken tenders, those were OK. I tried some and they were nice & crunchy which I love but once again, not much flavor. Altogether, I’d have to say the food isn’t the best but for bar food it does just fine. And between being a bar and bikers coming here, it is family friendly so that’s a plus for those with children! Friendly staff, clean restaurant, and atmosphere was good. I’m sure it’s a blast to be there during the summer with the drinks and outdoor volleyball.

Stopped there for the first time on a motorcycle ride, been back a couple times. They also offer a decent breakfast. Usually lots of motorcycles there when the weather’s good. Burgers we’ve had were good. They also have a stage out back(outside) for live bands, and a couple of sand volleyball courts. Usually a busy place on the summer weekends.

This out of the way(by Chicago standards) place fit the bill perfectly after a day with the kids at a pumpkin patch. Everyone was friendly, the food was really, really good(patty melt, chic tacos, and kid grilled cheese w/fries), the service was excellent. After our horrible experience at that burger place on Diversey yesterday, it is nice to have a great lunch at a super price with no free side of attitude.

One of the best, and most consistent restaurants in the area. My wife and I love the food, EVERY time. Close your eyes, and point at the menu, it’ll be great. Reuben, Lynn’s homemade chicken fingers, fish fry on Fridays, solid breakfast too. Heather was a great server on our last visit, but all the servers have been! Keep up the good work!

Great place to hit before or after Wilmont. Service is always amazing, the girls are happy to work there and it shows. Food is good, they say the Reuben is the best around and I agree. Free popcorn at the bar while you wait, and food entrees are plenty big. Only complaint is the place can get crowded, so if you show up with 4 for dinner you never know what you’re gonna get. I’d say its more an adult place, not sure I’d bring kids there during evenings as it gets rowdy with the post-mountain crowd and snowmobilers in the winter.(Not sure about summer months). They just added video gaming area in the back. And TVs at the bar to watch a game at. There is a fun vibe in the place, the ambiance is something I can’t put my finger on but its just a fun place to hang out. Be sure to grab a sharpie and hang a dollar on the walls over the bar.

Been here a few times, I recommend sitting in the bar area, the dining area is very drafty and can get very, very cold! Decent food at very reasonable prices. Erica the bartender here is very friendly and provides excellent service!
