    Lai'd chicken sandwich
    Melissa W.

    Today my family and I had lunch and had Taylor for a server. Taylor was amazing! She checked on us just the right amount gave food recommendations and was well informed on the menu. We ordered the spring fling, two burgers, and a big pretzel. All the food was cooked to perfection and tasted great. The restaurant was full, and Kaylee was pleasant at the hostess station. We will for sure be back!

    STACS burger with fries

    Quality sports bar located in the far SW burbs. They have a lot of burger options, I got the STACS burger, which was quite good and big. They also have a pretty good craft beer selection, including a house ale even, which I got, it was a pretty good pale ale. I always like when restaurants have that. They have plenty of TVs to watch sports game, it seemed just about every NFL game was on, so a good place for viewing games. They have a bar section and several tables, lots of space. They also have their own shared parking lot with plenty of room. Idk how many other places are nearby, but this may be your best option in that area for sports get togethers.

    This was my second time here. I enjoyed the Dublin Roundabouts more than my previous burger. However my companions who had the leid burger and another order of the Dublin Roundabouts weren't so impressed. They complained about the food being lukewarm. Also the waitress put in the wrong order twice. However it was hopping with lots of people in big groups celebrating the holidays. Christmas drinks sounded great but we just had beer and soda.

    MIKE BISON with SWEET POTATO TOTS
    Adam O.

    Really liked the food and atmosphere here. I had the Mike Bison which I don't totally recommend, just didn't have a ton of flavor and was a little over cooked. But I also tried the Decision is Yours, Rio Bravo, and the Pickle Me Elmo and all three were awesome. I loved the Philly Rolls and sweet potato tots as well. Beer menu did not disappoint!

    Great place to try some new flavor combinations. We come here every year after Apple picking with a large group and our service and food is always fantastic. We have tried so many things and keep coming back, so don't be afraid to branch out.

    Burger of the month

    Food: 5/5 hot, fresh, flavorful. Crispy fries, seasoned patty. I didn't get a picture of the fire shrimp because it was so good. Service: 4/5 they weren't super busy but they only had 2 waitresses servicing the whole place including bar and hosting. But they were nice and helpful Ambiance: 4/5 because the decor wasn't my taste but the establishment was clean and really big.

    Awesome apps, burgers, sandwiches and dessert! We will be back! Great service too. Try the angry shrimp and pretzel to start.

    Yellowstone burger w fries. Eaten w knife & fork.

    Well seasoned Yellowstone burger, balanced with sweet and heat. Fries coated crispy, hot. Broccoli was perfect tender. Great service outside patio clean with pleasant atmosphere including March Madness on screens. Definitely plan to return.

    This was the first time I was there. I've driven by it many times but never stopped in. I had a craving for a burger and checked out their menu online. I'm so glad I did. The burgers were awesome!!!! My wife and I had Vivian as our server. She was great. We told her it was our first time eating there and she was very helpful with our burger selections. We will definitely be going back.

    Tucked away in a strip mall set back off of Route 59 is this new to me restaurant and bar. But I…read morethink they've been there for about nine years. Parking was easy. Getting a couple spots to sit was also easy. Getting and keeping anyone's attention was not as easy. It was a busy-ish Trivia Tuesday and they seemed to be well staffed but both people behind the bar that we tried to make contact with breezed past us a lot. Despite that, we did eventually try the $5 margaritas which packed a nice punch. We also went with a pepperoni wrapped and deep fried cheese stick. Clearly not a premade product from somewhere else...the sauce was great while the cheese stick lacked pepperoni flavor even though we clearly saw some in there. It was more boring flavor wise than expected but a really great concept! Our Foo pizza was ordered without the cilantro but also arrived without the jalapeños. Again, another great concept but this one lacked on the execution side of things. Not enough BBQ sauce at all (I'm not a huge sauce girl, but this was way too light), soooo many fried onion strings clumped together (and I love fried onions...soooo), missing the spicy component in error.... But the crust was great and cooked nicely, the pulled pork was delicious when you found a bite, the bacon cooked perfectly and the pineapple portion was good. Why four stars instead of three? Clearly they're using quality ingredients. This is huge to me! Restaurant felt, looked and smelled clean. Conceptually they've got some awesome menu items that make me want to come back and we already mentioned to friends of ours. And the drinks were solid. We will take a different approach next time and hopefully add this one to the rotation.

    Ever since I learned that there was a speakeasy in Lockport i've always wanted to check it out but…read moreI didn't want to go there by myself so I finally convinced my wife to visit the Speakeasy with me. We figured it would have been the perfect way to top off our evening. For first-timers it might be hard trying to find the speakeasy since at first I thought you had to access it from the Busy Street and walk up three flights of stairs. Actually you just walk inside of the Embers building, find the elevator that's kind of hidden and take it to the Third floor. I thought that the little trip up felt exclusive already. Once you're at the third floor you are treated to a beautiful array of scenery. Exit to your left and you were treated to the bar and some great tables with a cozy, intimate setting. I'm not sure if it was open seating since there was a little podium right off the elevator so we just sat ourselves. Some speakeasies require a certain dress code to keep up with the times. This one thankfully was casual though many people dressed business casual. We actually loved how the staff dressed as well. I have to try their Japanese sex drink and I absolutely loved every ship that I took. The drinks are fairly price. They did have a food menu but it was mainly snacks and small plates that were a bit overpriced. If we're having a large Gathering they have a big private room next door. This place does have a lot of great events going on as well with their upcoming Valentine's Day event that looks really interesting. It does get pretty busy as well after 7:00 p.m. from our experience. Overall, I was excited and enjoyed our visit coming to the 933 speakeasy!

It just so happens that I visited the night of a holiday bar crawl in lockport so the inside wasn't set up how it normally would be. For being packed, we were still able to grab a cocktail table to enjoy our drinks at. The bar was decked out in holiday decor to get everyone in christmas spirits. My group got two rounds of drinks which included the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned, Figgy Smalls, Christmas in a Cup, Happiness is a Warm Puppy, Milk & Cookies, and Maple Bacon Old Fashioned. My favorites by far were the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned and Figgy Smalls. My group also loved the Milk & Cookies. The bartenders hustled to get drinks out and still took time to smoke the old fashioneds to perfection. I'd love to come back on a normal night and re-enjoy this lockport hotspot.

Eventually, someone from behind the bar directed us to seat ourselves. The restaurant was about half full, yet only one server was covering all tables, supported by a manager running food and a busser. The limited staffing noticeably extended our overall dining time. Given that it was a Sunday at a sports bar, additional service support would have been expected. I ordered a margarita, which was served in a 16 oz glass. Unfortunately, it was overwhelmingly sour, tasting primarily of sour mix, and I chose to send it back. It was disappointing, as properly balanced cocktails are an important part of the dining experience. The food was decent but unremarkable. The elite dip was enjoyable; however, the portion size did not feel consistent with the price. Overall, while the experience was not terrible, it did not stand out enough for me to go out of my way to return.
