Amazing food, and Kelly was fantastic. She asked us so many times if we were "happy.". Who does that in the service industry anymore? This place is the bees....stop in for dinner and drinks. read more

Atmosphere was terrific as was the service. Wings are great size and very good. Definitely would go back! read more

Service was terrible took 40 min for the bartender to even acknowledge us to simply get one drink while sitting at the bar.

The customer experience is horrible. The food however is great. But going back to the bartenders, they're kinda bitchy and not worth the the time... anyway, food is great!! read more

Very friendly, best burger and fries I've ever had. The bacon shroomer -really delicious. Homey neighborhood pub that belies a secret fabulous restaurant and deep menu. read more

Sat at the bar for 10-15min on a slow night. None of the 3 or 4 servers even acknowledged us, so we left. The 3.8 overall rating gives them more credit than their due. read more

Amazing service, the bar is very spacious and nice. The chilli cheese taters were too good. Fettuccini Alfredo was delicious and very different from other Alfredo's. It had really good seasonings to it. Taco Salad was amazing. Not many special cocktails, just the usual regular ones. Can't wait to come back and try more food! Especially since the chilli had really good flavor, I want to try the chilli mac next. read more

This is a local Pup in downtown Weat Dundee. Your typical Pub style interior. They are serving a fully stocked bar and a full menu. I opted for the chicken tenders with French fries with a side of ranch. The tenders were good, but the ranch was off the charts AMAZING! Service was quick and friendly. The menu was a bit confusing to navigate through for me. That was my only con. read more

Great place to watch a game. Love the many TVs. Not a bad seat in the house. The food was stellar and drink selection was on point too. Service was friendly and the prices were fair. Cool looking place with parking in the back. Short, sweet and to the point. Solid place! read more

Stopped for first time for lunch. Food was good and came out quickly. At the time of day was nice and quiet but can see that during peak times they would be busy and louder. Definitely will go back again read more

We celebrated my daughter's 18th bday here last Oct 2023. Chris (owner), Heather (Event Planner), & our amazing bar tender, Jennie helped made our celebration truly exceptional, thank you so much! From the moment we arrived to inquire, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Chris was very accommodating and truly was attentive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of seamlessly. The level of service provided by the staff was outstanding. They were always available to assist with any requests, my numerous questions and ensuring that we were comfortable throughout the event. Their friendliness and eagerness to help made a significant difference in our overall experience. The food was also good! Our guests enjoyed all of them and not one person had any bad critic. Since they do not serve desserts, they were open for us to bring our own which made it even more pleasant since we love having different kinds of desserts in our parties. Love this option a lot! Many venues are just too strict. Furthermore, the staff's coordination and efficiency were evident in how smoothly everything ran. They managed the event with such grace and competence, making sure that all guests had an enjoyable and hassle-free experience. Their dedication to providing top-notch service truly stood out. In addition to their professionalism, the staff's genuine care for the guests especially, Jennie was heartwarming. Jennie even joined us during one of the dances as she was pulled by our family to join us. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcomed and valued, creating a positive and inviting atmosphere. It's clear that they take pride in their work and genuinely enjoy what they do. Overall, the staff at Bamboozle made our daughter's day very memorable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place where exceptional service and guest satisfaction are top priorities. Thank you to the entire team for making our experience so wonderful! read more

Had a couple of beers and got some takeout. Heard the burgers were good. Got the 'Shelby', hard to pass up burgers with bacon onion jam. Burger was cooked fine, but this thing is supposed to have lettuce (and the jam).. barely any. Disappointing. Fried mushrooms were done well. Will probably try again. read more

Bamboozels - It was a red light so picture is bad - Cocktail Bars Near Me - West Dundee, Illinois

Bamboozels is one of the best bars and restaurants in the area and has plenty of TVs for sports fans! The service can be a little slow when they have one server and bartender but they are friendly and do their absolute best. There's also some slot machines and darts if you're looking to have some fun! Highly recommend any of the burgers or sandwiches and they can all be made into a wrap if desired. read more

Friendly staff and tasty food! Local bar and gives you that hometown feel. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the town!

We did not eat in; we did takeout. Their corned beef sandwich was excellent. The corned beef was lean and very tender. The swirl rye bread was perfectly toasted. The sandwich was hot which almost never happens especially with takeout. Nice, fresh cut fries. Hubby enjoyed his Gyro. We will be back! read more

Nice local spot where the food is mostly made from scratch in-house and mostly very good. The hubby wasn't impressed with the meatloaf but I liked it a lot as did my friend. I've also had the chicken pot pie and chicken sandwich- always happy. Good soups too! Very reasonable prices which is appreciated these days. There happened to be free bingo that night which added some festivity. (We won dessert for next time!) :-) read more

Great venue for any kind of event. We hosted a baby shower there 10/6/24 in their private room. The food the atmosphere, the personal attention to the entire event was 5 Stars & 5 Forks. You don't just get a venue you get a team that wants your event to be memorable and stress free. The shower menu included mostaccioli, meatballs, macaroni & cheese a side salad and appetizers made in house. Delicious! They allowed outside shower themed desserts to be brought in by friends and family. The ample free parking adjacent to Bamboozels is another plus read more

Once again - great food, great service! A lot of lunch specials to choose from too. And my hubby says all burgers should be served with sausage gravy..... read more

Me and 10 other friends were looking for somewhere to eat before heading to Rochaus for a show . We planned on goin to Woodfire , they didn't take reservations but said before 6 they weren't busy ... lol hilarious, we got there at 5:30 like she told me to and it was a 2hr wait so... off we went . Passed by Bamboozels and looked like there was no waiting so we went in and sat down . Our waiter was so great ... attentive , smiled , gave an honest opinion, and knew the menu back and forth . All of us loved our food , not one complaint . For us having such a large party , our food came out pretty fast too . They offer beyond burger as a choice instead of beef , which I LOVE when restaurants do that bc sometimes I just feel like a "burger " ya know lol but I don't eat red meat so I loose out a lot definitely going back ! read more

A very chill place to hang out. We decided to go here after work on a Wednesday and found out it was karaoke night. I give everyone a lot of credit for having the guts to get up there and sing. Hubby had the margarita and I had the mai Thai let's just say that the drinks are awesome and not watered down at all. We decided on the appetizers, my favorite is the fried pickles and potato skins - we also ordered boneless Buffalo wings. The wait staff was great and very attentive to our table and we were very pleased with our service ,food and ambiance. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. The new owner is fantastic, the food has been delicious and plentiful size of dish. The drinks were well poured and never felt overpriced at all. I absolutely love this place. read more

I went to Bamboozels last Thursday night as they had karaoke. Per other yelp reviews people really liked the steak quesadillas and they were fresh and delicious. My friend enjoyed her fish tacos. The drink prices were reasonable. The waitress/bartender was attentive and the owner or manager with dark hair was very attentive. The place is a bit snug but social distancing is enforced. There is ample parking down the street. I will definitely be back! I give this place 3.5 stars. read more

Ordered via Grubhub, who really did a great job with the delivery,but unfortunately Bamboozles really has cut corners! Using frozen mozarrella triangles with a microwaved tomato sauce was horrible. .I ordered fish and chips?.The batter was mealy and seemed like a pancake wrapped fish. My son got Buffalo chicken Mac n cheese The Buffalo Mac sauce was over elbow noodles which once looked like it was a Mac n cheese but had been baked so long the cheese was baked on and the food was inedible. Lastly the boneless chicken wings were nothing like Bboozels signature chicken wings! They were frozen breaded chicken chunk topped with their sauce! Again, not impressed with Bamboozels food anymore read more

I had Sarah as my server tonight! She was so sweet and friendly and the food was AMAZING! I am definitely coming back and asking for Sarah!

We love this place until tonight. They seems to have The right precautions in place until they allowed a group to basically sit on our laps. Come on! I brought it up to our server NO ACTION! For at least 10 minutes at that point, why bother?!! Disappointing If you want people to eat at your restaurant, look out for your customers Epic fail! read more

Meatloaf stack was bamboozely delish. It filled every one of my deepest desires. The best part was staring into my lovers eyes as I ate this glorious dish. God is good. Amen! read more

Busy place on a Saturday night. Our waitress was trying to do it all. Our mixed drinks were very good. The Reuben & Bacon Cheddar burger was awesome. Taco Salad leaves lots of room for improvement- too much lettuce and not enough of the extras like guacamole or something - it was just very dry. Mac & Cheese burger wasn't a favorite - the cheese on the M&C was part of the problem. We will return! read more

*******Response to business owner********* You changed ur reply to me a few times I see. The one u have now says u didn't and cannot block me but the screen shot of ur original reply says otherwise. U did block me and admitted it but probably realized how bad that sounded so u went back and changed ur reply and LIED! There's a reason ur Facebook reviews are good and yelp is not. Just like u said in ur response u banned me and that's what u do if someone leaves a bad review. Horrible I didn't give this shit hole another try but since my original review on Facebook they responded but blocked me so I cannot comment or respond back so I guess I have to do it on here...what business blocks someone when they leave an honest review. It wasn't bad it was our honest bad experience. If u don't want people leaving reviews then u should take that option away. That's what this place does is block u from commenting if u leave them a bad review. Anyways in response to this place...sorry ur wrong that's not the drink I ordered and shame on u for not trying to fix the situation and instead blocking me. I made sure I told everyone I know how u run ur establishment. read more

Bamboozels - BBQ pork sandwich...no flavor but kind of a spoiled taste with dry ass coleslaw - Cocktail Bars Near Me - West Dundee, Illinois

Sorry but so much no here. We waited a long while to go once this place opened to wait for them to work out the kinks but unfortunately I don't think it's going to work. The place is pretty- but that's where it ends folks. Staff and owner are totally disorganized. When we asked about the special the bartender didn't know what was in it and when she asked the owner the owner stammered and didn't know either... what?! We got the pulled pork NACHOS and were excited to get NACHOS and got potato chips barely covered in cheese and were promised onion straws which were also missing. We didn't even finish the dish. It frankly reminded me of something I might drunkenly throw together at home with whatever mismatched leftovers I have in the house, only to totally regret it later. If I had to give this place a tip it would be: don't try so hard. read more

Banboozels is a great addition to our community. During the pandemic you can order takeout and pick it up right at the kitchen window. How cool is that? Good food. Great owners. read more

One of the Classic's that I had been enjoying at Bamboozels has always been the Pretzels with Cheese Sauce. Always AWESOME! Unfortunately, a couple of Tuesday's ago I went in specifically for the Pretzels and although there are now 3 to an order instead of the 2 Larger Pretzels, the current product is now Store Bought Crap. I'm pretty sure the change to place with the new ownership. Bad Call! I have no problem paying up for quality food but when I expected what seemed to be freshly made Pretzels with an Awesome Cheese Dipping Sauce and then get 3 store bought pretzels that tasted like 6 hour old Speedway bought pretzels and Then pay 14-15 bucks with tip, I felt Bamboozeled! read more

I've been bamboozled I've been here twice. I'm local and would love to see them succeed, but want to provide an honest review. Trying to keep things fair here, so here is my honest review after two visits: Once at dinner and once at breakfast. Dinner visit: We were one of two parties in the place on a weeknight prior to their actual opening. Somehow, even though we were some of the few patrons in there, it still took an inordinately long time to receive our order. Bothersome but okay...we attributed to newness and inexperience. Service was inconsistent and slow, but always friendly during the visit. Food was decent...I would say 7 out of ten (steak nachos), my companion (club sandwich) would have rated lower. Prices are very reasonable! Presentation was casual but nice (see pics). Breakfast visit: A fiasco and sooo disappointing. Again, we were one of two parties present. Neither my companion nor I got what we ordered. Now neither of us is clairvoyant but as soon as we ordered and she walked away, we looked at each other and said at the same time: "What do you want to bet that we don't get what we ordered?" And we were right. His order: omelette with cheese, bacon and jalapenos, side of sausage What he got: omelette with cheese and sausage, no jalapenos, side of bacon What I ordered: omelette with cheese and bacon, side of sausage What I got: runny (totally undercooked) omelette with cheese and sausage, side of bacon Heres a tip: WRITE it down!! Oh, and did I mention that it took nearly 25 minutes to get the food (with a total of four patrons in the place including us)? Bacon and toast not even warm. Potatoes were hot and very good. Manager came over and I said that the best rating I could give for that visit was: edible. I take that back, mine was not edible as it was not cooked properly. To their credit, manager was sincerely apologetic and offered to have orders re-done but who wants to wait another 25 minutes for eggs and sausage? We would like to give it one more shot to see if they can overcome this combination of very unfortunate experiences so far. read more

Bamboozels - Foreign object in the "butter" - Cocktail Bars Near Me - West Dundee, Illinois

Wow everything you want out of a chill bar. I was greeted with a warm welcome, nice bartender who recommended food, they have jack shot specials on wens., and HOLY SHIZZZZ the appetizer she recommended was out of this town!! I will most definitely come back for their loaded fries! The fries are all natural cut style with a great variety of crunchy, soft , and my favorite the lil bits at the bottom ; all time top appetizers IVE EVER TASTED. AND IT GETS BETTER. They have a good hot sauce selections! They had chipotle cholula hot sauce which is a rarity outside of chipotle's Tabasco chipotle sauce. the climax of it all is that it was cheap ! 2 mixed drinks a bomb ass appetizer was 17 bucks. A lot of parking available around back of bar and live music on Fridays. They have darts ,little games, and the music isnt deafening where you could still carry conversation. Ughh im sold. read more

Enjoy this place, in particular Thursday night bingo. However this past Thursday there was a patron that was VERY OBNOXIOUS and no reaction from staff to control him, I know there's the occasional F bomb but literally every other word was a cuss word and very loud. It wouldn't surprise me if it drove people away, this gentleman thought he was the center of attention. Again very obnoxious hopefully staff understands they need to control there guests. read more

Went for dinner with a friend. Split cheese sticks an had the meatloaf and chicken fried chicken. Both of us ended up extremely sick, not sure if food poisoning or what. Be warned! read more

Nice pub nestled in downtown West Dundee. Typical pub fare like burgers, wings, soups, salads and more. For appetizers, we had the fried pickle chips and jumbo wings, both were good. I had the meatloaf stack which is layered with mashed potatoes and gravy, and topped with fried onion straws. Hearty and delicious with a medley of zucchini, squash and peppers on the side. I tried my daughter's 1/3 lb. cheeseburger and it made me wish I opted for a burger. They have a variety of your typical toppings, and then upgrades like avocado or a fried egg among others. Wife's corn beef was good too. Our waiter/bartender was very attentive and accommodating. Not a huge space, but plenty of TVs, and a couple of dart machines in the back. The bar is long, with booths across from the bar itself. Bathrooms were very clean which is always a good sign. There's also an upstairs area which we did not see, but might be more for the dinner crowd during the week. Would definitely go back, try a custom burger, maybe the nachos or cheese curds next time! read more

We live only a few blocks from this place for two years now but never gave it a thought until we were under quarantine and looking for new places to eat. We checked out the menu and they had great prices so we took a shot and were extremely happy with our choice. One of the best parts of my meal? Would you believe that it was the cucumbers and ranch? Because it was; Homemade ranch. I had the Bamboozels spooner the first time, also delicious. And next time a BLT with pickles instead of tomatoes and it was also really good. Husband has had the grilled mac and cheese and the chicken fried chicken and was equally as happy. I would happily order out of this place again. read more

I ordered two pickle Rick sandwiches. They got some mad skills, I'm not sure how they're able to put the thinnest piece of chicken in there & make the batter airy enough to make the patty look big, when you're actually eating fried batter. So disappointed :/. read more
