    Outstanding food and large portions of tender meats!!! Service was great and comfy family feeling. I'm coming back!!!!!

    8oz Brisket Sandwich. Terrific, tender brisket.  Skip the undercooked fries.
    Harley S.

    Pretty good barbecue joint with a nice atmosphere, a nice bar, and friendly service. The meats are good quality but not terribly tender. The hand cut fries are undercooked and the onion rings are from frozen.

    Pulled pork and Reuben, pickles, potato salad, coleslaw and chips.
    Michaél B.

    The best Reuben I think we've ever had. Pork BBQ sammich was very good. The Carolina red BBQ sauce was slightly tangy and peppery (perfect). The potato salad wasn't my favorite just because the dressing was the Amish style macaroni salad dressing, but I still enjoyed it. I normally prefer a more shredded coleslaw but this one had really good flavor. Good brews!! Very friendly service. Not a big dining area so during busy times you may need to wait for a table. Such a great family friendly restaurant. We will make this a regular stop during our travels on Route 15.

    Chicken sub with onions and mushroom. (Note: seemed like processed chicken)
    Michael O.

    Got the old bay wings, they were ON POINT but a pool of greased remained in bottom of the basket. Bad presentation. Got the chicken cheesesteak (pictured). I would NOT get again. You must be specific on everything you want on it or it comes plane with no lettuce, no tomatoe, no Mayo). Also, the chicken was like a frozen chicken steakum. I was expecting real white chicken breast meat on this sub, especially from a BBQ joint. Service was OK, but missed a lot of key things like plates for the apps; extra napkins; making sure we know the sandwiches don't come with lettuce and Mayo and Tomatoe. Ambiance is OK. Liked the chalk board and white washed board walls. Seating felt like I was in a cafeteria. Not sure if it was the tile floor or the weird tables positioned into what should be a booth. Could be improved to make it feel more cozy/warm.

    Most delicious Pork bbq, smoked on site. BRISKET, BEEF AND MUCH MORE Definitely a 5 star. We had brisket and smoked beef sandwiche and delicious coconut pie for dessert. (house made)

    Sit wherever you like. Wasn't busy on Saturday at 11:00am. They were closing early because of the holiday at noon. Loved the stainless steel coffee cups but hated the coffee. Two sips and that was enough for me. Not too friendly with us but definitely had a good relationship with the regulars. I ordered the steak and eggs. Rare. By the color of the steak which was gray, I think it was microwaved. Not a fan, sorry. Did like the rye toast. I tasted my daughters sausage and cheese omelet. Again maybe it's the sausage used but we didn't like it. My husband however got the French toast and that was a winner ! Breakfast is usually a safer bet when going out to eat but this time not for these road worriers !

    First of all, I am very surprised and disappointed by the negative reviews that I have seen here. I…read morehave eaten here once or twice a month for 30 or so years. Did anyone else notice that most of the malicious reviews appear to be from some "ficticious" school teacher/chaperone, many of them from California? The buffet here has always been very good; the vegetables tasty and firm, the meats very good and the desserts have always been excellent. The desserts include; pies, jello, puddings, cobblers, cookies, brownies, cheesecakes and iced cakes. I have never seen such a huge variety of desserts (almost always about two dozen varieties) at a buffet before. I have never seen dirty plates or silverware either. I have never become ill from the food and the place has always been clean. The salad bar has always been fresh and tasty, with a huge variety of toppings and dressings.. If the food was so bad and making people sick, the parking lot wouldn't be packed every single time that I have been here in 3 decades. I think a lot of the bad reviews show serious and vicious anti conservative/anti christian bias that liberal "Karens and Kevins" embrace. Some of the negative comments about the appearance of employees are just vicious. I have never had a bad or poor meal here. I have never become ill from eating the food. It has never been dirty there in any way. The malicious, deceptive and vindictive reviews reveal a deep seated psychological disconnect with reality and cognitive dissonance in some of the reviewer's minds. This is a clean, safe place to eat, the food is always very good, the prices are reasonable and the staff has always been pleasant and responsive for the past 30 years that I have been there.

Do not come here. Also encountered a situation in which a older chubby woman was screaming at a worker about some sort of shrimp beverage. I believe it was shrimp flavored heavy whipping cream. The woman was pretty freakin pissed and it was extremely concerning in the view of her mental health. Sending my best wishes to Bonnie, she may never recover from this incident. Anyways, you can come here if you want just don't come if they are selling shrimp cream. That is an accident waiting to happen. Lemonade is good. Please call 630-544-1562 if you have concerns, I'm willing to give out more info if needed

    First time visiting Furnace Crab House, and it definitely won't be our last!…read more My family of five stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience from start to finish. Our server, Megan, was fantastic - friendly, attentive, and made some great recommendations. The food came out in a timely manner, and everything was delicious. I ordered the Po' Boy sandwich, and wow, it was amazing! Packed with flavor and definitely something I'd order again. Kids had the cheeseburger, friends had the sampler (it was ok), and another had soup that was yummy! One thing that really stood out was when Megan brought out a pitcher of water without us even having to ask. As a family that drinks a lot of water, that thoughtful gesture was greatly appreciated and showed her attention to detail. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Megan deserves a raise! We'll definitely be back.

I didn't get sat next to the bathroom like last tine when other tables are open lol. They absolutely were great this time.

We will be back Oh their crab soup was the best, in past it was ok.

The better the bird the better the end result - and Hillside Turkey Farms has the best fresh birds around. I've been coming to Hillside since my dentist (a local who worked there as a kid, many, many years ago) recommended them. My Thanksgiving tradition involves picking up a fresh bird a few days before The Big Day after standing in line in the cold/rain/snow waiting to get in the store. Besides turkey (whole, breasts, parts; raw and smoked; sausage and broth and other finished products) they also offer chicken, duck, pork and beef. You can find cheaper (frozen) birds at big box groceries, but you will never find a better bird. Hillside has limited hours so check out their website before making the trek from wherever you are. Trust me, it'll be worth it!
