Overall it was well attended, we enjoyed our food (they also have chicken if you don't feel like fish), and they had miller lite at the bar which is always good for me. They probably have other beers too, but I'm not that fancy anymore. The folks running the fry were very friendly and we met some other nice local folks and chatted with them while we ate and drank. The building itself is oldskool and homey. Like your grandparents basement bar/rec room. Overall, I'd recommend their public events if you want an opportunity to go meet some new people and get out of the house.

I joined my husband's family in celebration of his birthday. We had a late lunch at a local…read morerestaurant and convened here to continue the celebration. I have never been to a VFW, but found this location to be a fun and relaxing venue. I met a few veterans and their families who brought food for all to enjoy. Libations were offered at the bar at a reasonable cost. A band was scheduled to play at 7 pm, but I had to leave and didn't get to hear them. I'm sure they did a good job. Out of curiosity, I did a little research about this particular post and its namesake. I learned that the Harry E. Anderson Post 9545 Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States was established on July 19, 1947. Corporal Anderson was the first soldier in Will County Illinois to die during World War II. He was killed in Guam on December 7, 1941. On September 12, 1995, the post was completely destroyed by fire. However, plans to rebuild the it began almost immediately while trailers served as the temporary post. On November 19, 1996, the new building was completed and formally dedicated on January 11, 1997. VFW Post 9545 is one amongst approximately 9,000 posts worldwide. Its mission is to "honor the dead by helping the living" through veterans' services, community services, national security, and a strong national defense. Frankly, I'm impressed with the organization and its structure; specifically, VFW Post 9545. I took a photo of its organization chart. I'm an American who actually likes being an American. Yes, the country has its issues just like all countries. But the USA is my home

This is by far the WORST experience in booking a venue I've ever had! Beware and do not book here!…read more We were double booked and had to find out through Facebook that another event was taking place the same day. We called for a couple days to speak with someone with no success. Finally we had to wait almost a week to be allowed to come up and attempt to rectify the situation with the manager. When we did speak with her, she was extremely rude. It was utterly unbelievable. I have never seen anyone conduct themselves this way to PAYING CUSTOMERS! It was outrageous! We even asked if someone else could help as she stated that she was dealing with serious issues. We were told by her, "not to listen to anyone but her." The person that was supposed to cover for the manager was extremely dismissive and would not give us any time or effort on the phone. She explained that she was new and she didn't have any information other than we were double booked! She even said that we would not have time to set up for the party anymore! I thought this was outrageous. When we finally spoke in person to the manager, we told her that we were worried that because of our terrible treatment, our guests would be treated poorly and the party wouldn't go well. The manager's response was, "I'll give you the full amount back right now." We were in shock to the fact that she threw away a paid in full booking. This was the WORST experience I have ever had. Management does not care about booking the banquet room, and definitely doesn't care about new or returning customers! I'm just glad that my guests won't be treated poorly because this establishment does not care about its patrons AT ALL! I truly wanted to give this place 0 stars!!!! Beware! Beware! Beware!!!

I went with two over easy, bacon, seasoned potatoes and rye toast. This is one of those breakfasts I would personally describe as "art." Half credit to the chef, half to quality ingredients. As in spectacular bacon, and perfect potatoes. You don't have to be a member to dine/drink at this private club. Personnel are warm and helpful, they also have a fish fry on Friday nites, of course. Whether you served or not, go get served at the West Dundee VFW.

VFW's bring up childhood memories of cranky old men complaining about the war. At least that is…read morehow they seemed where I grew up. This place is anything but cranky old men complaining about the war. My first experience here was completely surprising. I came for the Friday fish fry with my father and the nugget, who was a baby at the time. During Lent, this place is PACKED with people on Friday nights. I could not believe it. While waiting for my fish to arrive, I got a glass of wine at the bar. I thought I misheard the price...nope I didn't...it was soooo cheap compared to a bar or restaurant. After I bit into a nice meaty piece of fried fish, I was hooked (buh duh cha). The fish fry continues all year long...not just during Lent. Don't like fish, no problem. They have Italian Beef sandwiches, hot dogs, and fried shrimp. The price of your meal also includes coffee, and cake for dessert. You can't go wrong. Don't forget to bring some cash for the raffles. They usually do a 50/50 raffle, and some other thing. For Valentine's Day there was a delicious pork dinner and a band. For St. Paddy's they do a corned beef dinner. High suggested! Tuesday is Bingo and Thursday is wing night. There is almost always something going on here. Check it out!
