I LOVE Camelot. I had a 50th birthday party and my wedding here. The food is fantastic (I went with the Polish menu both times) and my guests raved about it. The did a fantastic job for my small wedding, setting up flowers and a memory table. Joanne is truly the best!! I wish I had a reason to have another party there. read more

Visited for a band banquet, this place is beautiful on the inside, I can only imagine how great a wedding would be here. The food was typical banquet food, served hot, family style and unseasoned but with a little salt and pepper it was good. Our servers were attentive and quick to refill food as needed. There was a nice size dance floor and overall we had a good time. read more

We used to come here for years as kids for weddings, baptisms, celebrations but didn't have Yelp during those years. Recently attended my cousin's med school graduation surprise party and the venue space was a hit! The entrance has a nice foyer, staff would ask which party we were attending and direct us to the room. There were a few other celebrations happening so know they are booked and busy! There were around 80 people in attendance, plenty of appetizers and desserts at the tables. The dinner itself was family style with Polish classics like kapusta, pork cutlet, potato dumplings, veggies. The staff would check-in to see if we needed any additional plates. Bartender did a great job with the pours and made everything from margaritas to old fashions. Dance floor could have been bigger haha we made use of every inch! Overall found the food to be sensational and the atmosphere party-tastic! read more

I was at an event there. The food was dry. Also the chicken was cut in very small pieces. There was not enough to go around. Not even a gravy boat to help with the dryness. Parking lot was not maintained. There were holes in the blacktop and I twisted my leg getting out of my suv. Also the hole had a black stones filler. Unfortunately, I did not realize mixture stuck to the soles of my shoes, and I had black stains all over my beige carpet. Ps. I agree with the people and funeral lunches. Several years ago, there were not enough seating for arriving . They refused to set another table. What selfish uncaring business owner these people are! read more

Went to a wedding the other day. Haven't been to many since Covid, but I was very impressed. Food was served family style and boy was there plenty and it was good. I understand that it's the choice of the folks paying for the weeding, however take into consideration the wait staff. Very spot on. read more

I would rate this negative stars if I could. I'm currently standing at my older brothers wedding. The amount of money they invested in making their night special, and they can't pay attention to details. If tonight is your special night.

Exceeded expectations in every way. Our 100+ guests complimented Camelot food, service, cleanliness, facilities,... This was our first time at Camelot. We will definitely be using Camelot for banquets and events in the future. For a 90th birthday luncheon, Camelot accommodated 4 generations of our family and friends. The costs were clearly explained, accurate, and more than fair. The staff was efficient, knowledgable, helpful, and friendly, including suggestions on scheduling during the 4-hour event, decorations, background piano music so that guests could talk with each other... Camelot's location made travel easy from O'hare, Midway, Wheaton, DeKalb, Galena, Hawthorne Woods, Monee, ... Family and friends traveled from Germany, Vietnam, Columbia, Ohio, Indiana, and Florida to get to the Camelot Banquet hall. All of our guests complimented the Camelot venue. read more

It's worth noting that I was here purely as a guest, not as someone planning a party. So my review will reflect that. The space is really nice. It's well decorated, it's big. We were here for a big wedding of a few hundred people, and everyone was seated comfortably. And there was still enough room for a big dance floor and a massive line of food. I didn't have a bad thing to eat the entire night. Everything was well seasoned and served hot (or cold, whichever it was meant to be!) The only thing I wasn't really crazy about is that their salad was full of bell peppers. They were pretty finely diced which made it hard for me to pick them out. But other than that, no complaints! read more

Highly recommend this place to ruin your event! We liked the room we received, but the problems started after that. The manager's words "your party is not as loud as the other party, so we can't do anything about it. If your party was loud, then this would not be a problem". Once I heard that I started to vocalize that this was disappointing and more of our family members started to come around us and listened to the manager as he uttered that exact sentence over and over. Members of my family said when they walked in that they loved the place and they left vowing never to host an event there. read more

I'm the mother of the bride. This place was amazing. We had a small 70 people wedding. The room was beautifully set up. The food was good, service was good. Loved the bartender. He never let me go without a drink! Only problem was the DJ. I'm glad the hall stuck to NOT letting her set up on dance floor! Thank you all for making my daughter's day special!!!!!! read more

Here for a scholarship function, nice venue, but no diversity with the staff, and the food was just so so. It is a venue to consider nonetheless... read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is always fresh. The rooms are clean. Close to 294 expressway. The prices are reasonable. However, I cannot say enough about their home made panczki. I am ordering them for Mother's Day, because that is what my mom requested. They are the BEST. They are always freshly made. I have not tasted better panczki anywhere. read more

I came here for a welcome party for a baby and was pleasantly surprised. The interior is beautiful, with multiple rooms that seem to be able to be converted from smaller to larger banquet areas. It's nicely decorated with elegant, modern chandeliers, and updated bathroom and good condition to the carpet and walls. We had a family style lunch, with soup and salad to start. I was impressed at how hot all the hot foods actually were. The cream soup was good, salad was mostly iceberg which was super disappointing, and the family style meal was ok. There was beef with gravy, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mostacioli and mixed veggies. The fried chicken was super hot and crispy, but the insides were a little dry. Overall OK. The beef was drier than the Sahara dessert, and bland. I did not enjoy this. The mostacioli was decent, the noodles starting to have the slight edge of mushiness, and the mixed veggies were vibrant and good. Overall, edible but nothing memorable. Service was really wonderful though throughout the whole lunch with many servers available to us and bringing things out quickly. A-ok event. read more

Very disappointed again. This is the second time I have witnessed the owner of the establishment being rude , swearing and making things very difficult. Not only did she not plan ahead for the band for the evening she made the bride and groom sit seperate from The wedding party and made this into a huge negative affair. Very disappointing and rude. I will never attend a event there again. read more

I had my wedding here 11/2017 and this venue did not disappoint. The decor was elegant and the price per plate was reasonable! Most importantly the food tasted good here, which cannot be said for majority of banquet halls I have been to in the past. The staff also set up the centerpieces for us (which we have created ourselves and delivered the night before and left in their trust), which was a nice touch! Overall, it was a pleasant experience! read more

Had my baby shower here in 2016. The owner and staff was easy to work with and accommodating. The food and service was good. The desert table was great. The hall itself is gorgeous. We had the chiavari chairs which was an upcharge but was a nice touch. I recently attended another shower here as a guest and was equally impressed. The food and service was as good as I remembered. read more

I had my wedding there! And everything was perfect! Everything came out how we planned and my wife loved everything! The staff was amazing! We and our guest loved the food! The cake was also good! The decorations were beautiful! The prices were great! And the owner was amazing with us! I would recommend this place with no hesitation!! read more

We where having good party with family and friends when some guy started a arguing with people outside that was not party of any party in the facility, he started arguing and throwing fit against 20 of my guest standing outside, some lady part of the the staff called caps, and since Guy that was starting the fight already left, she pointed at our group, we had to spend another with cops half an hourly explaining what has happened, this is my last time in this place and i would not recommend anybody; anybody to do parties in this pace do to incompetent stuff that does not know what a big problem they caused and that they made my celebration day end up with big disappointment :( bad bad day read more

Let's face it, banquet hall food can leave something to be desired, we can agree on this, right? Before I go further, I graded up to 4 stars and it was more 3.5, but way better than expected. Sometimes with food at event spaces that cater to a large party, and this was 250+ people, the food can be good, but the texture gummy or rubbery because of how they heat/make it. So I was pleasantly surprised! It was another family style dinner with favorites like homemade dumplings drizzled in butter and breadcrumbs, roasted new potato, breaded chicken breast, pork cutlet and some vegetables but who has room for that when you just ate 10 dumplings? I exaggerate, maybe it was 8 dumplings, but it was very flavorful! Texture was decent too. The space was also decorated with attention to detail which made for a really pretty setting, with candle light and fairy lights adding to the festive ambiance. Again, the food was very tasty. Only drawback here was the parking. They have 2 lots, and still with a large party they could not accommodate so you were left with street parking, and a walk. read more

Camelot banquets does an amazing job. I am so happy to have had my wedding here, it definitely did not disappoint. First of all the rooms are gorgeous and spacious. The food was delicious and not your average banquet food. Secondly the staff was amazing. Joanne and her staff were so accommodating and helpful. They did an amazing job setting up the room and displaying the decor. I did all of the centerpieces myself and they took good care of everything. I cannot say enough how happy I was with this venue. Lastly, They're pricing cannot be beat. The upgrades such as linens and chivari chairs are a fraction of what you will find anywhere else. read more

Don't let their new makeover fool you. I recently attended a christening here for my best friend's baby and we were all very disappointed with the experience. I helped her plan it. The food is nothing to write home about. The service that she received after booking the party was very unappealing. The woman in charge is unfriendly, Not very accommodating, rude, and not very helpful. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Don't waste your money here. The only reason they get two stars is because the christening party went on. read more

This place is as tacky as it gets. Totally no class. The service is rude, food just plain and tasteless. You are expected to pay for a coat in winter. And for coffee at the table. Shop elsewhere for your banquet occasions. Grade: F read more

Granted, this review is from a few years ago but my experience was so great I had to right about it; this review is long overdue. I had my wedding reception at Camelot. At the time, the place looked pretty rough from the outside but the inside was gorgeous. We had our reception in the largest available room. The staff was great. Very flexible and easy to work with. We had planned on setting everything up for the event and they ended up doing it all! Just had us drop everything off and they handled it. For the largest room, you had to have 300 guests minimum. We ended up having less than expected. We still had to pay for 300 guests but they staff was very gracias and kept the bar open and extra hour for us, since we had to pay for more people than were coming. The food was decent and they were very accommodating to the vegetarian guests (including myself at the time). They layout of the room worked well too. Enough for a candy bar, dj booth, photos booth plus all the tables! Again, this is from 4 years ago so I'm not sure how much/what has changed but I couldn't have been happier! read more

So, I cannot submit a review on the actual Camelot location because all I did was cater food from the banquet hall for Christmas. I just have to say this is the 2nd time I've had catered food from Camelot and again I was not disappointed at all. The food is delicious, I honestly can't think of anything bad to say. I'd definitely cater again. read more

I will start with the good first. The food was great and the banquet is clean and beautiful. The pricing here is very reasonable. The waitstaff was friendly and so was the bar tender. Now the bad I feel that the owner Joanne should me more organized when taking notes I had to be the one constantly following up. The seating plan did not look like my floor plan. I asked for navy linen tables they were all white. She asked my dj to turn the music down three times which he obliged and we were threatened to be kicked out which is a horrible feeling on your wedding day. She was also rude to my brother. I love the place and staff but I wish Joanne would polish up her management skills. read more

Horrible venue...food was just average, at best. Wait staff was very inattentive. They literally crammed 12 people per table when the majority of the room was empty. Poor customer service. People in Hickory Hills must be used to poor service based on the current reviews. read more

We had two weddings for our daughters here. Both were beautiful! The polish cuisine is delicious. The venue is very elegant. Nice gathering space, large dance floor, beautiful head table set up, and fun stairway for the wedding party to emerge from at introductions. The staff was very accommodating. They filled our every need with kindness and professionalism. Prices can't be beat! read more

I feel horrible for recomending this place to my mother for her husband's funeral luncheon. I had been here in the past with no issues. What happened yesterday 7.19.2015..(I'll keep it brief). 35 seats were reserved and for our group. We had more than expected show up. The staff set up 1 addtl table but of the guests asked for another table so they could sit down. The waiter told her that if she doesn't find an open seat, she could leave. They were obviously mad that we had 20 additional guests ahow up... The guest decided she was going to leave which upset my mom and learned of what the guest was told. We asked for management and the widow was then rudely treated also... approx 1 hr after burying her husband. We made room at a couple of the tables for the addtl guests and dealt with it for now. After the luncheon, my mom went to speak to the owner who defended her employee as if we made up the story and told her to leave. She then called the police on our remaining guests because we didn't immediately leave, as some family was assisting an elderly family member toward the exit. Overall, the food was substandard other than the chicken, which was very good. The place has recently been nicely remodeled after a fire burned the place down 2 yrs ago. read more

Who calls the police because they cannot handle criticism about their waitstaffs's insensitivity and lack of class during a funeral luncheon? Joanne Naughton, the owner of Camelot banquets, thats who. This simple situation which occured July 18th 2015 had an easy solution and didn't have to escalate to the fiasco that it did if the owner of Camelot Banquets had the first clue as to what customer service was about. It's so offensive that grieving guests and family members are told to "find a chair or leave" when they arrive for a funeral luncheon. All that needed to happen was for another table to be added for addtional attendees but the staff at Camelot Banquets had to get ignorant and create drama when it was completely avoidable. It's not like our group wasn't planning on paying for our additional people. You would think Camelot would have appreciated the opportunity to serve more people than planned for our party and they really could have showed us how accomadating they could be and shined bright for all but they choose to see our party as more of a burden. How unfortunate for everyone involved. Shame on you Joanne Naughton and Camelot Banquets! read more

Very unpleasant experience! MANAGER was very rude and disrespectful! She lacks class and is simply COLD hearted! I suggest you take your business elsewhere, where you'll be treated kindly and fairly, a place that is sophisticated and worthy of your business. read more

I was here for my step dad's funeral luncheon. When I walked in I thought the place was beautiful. Family and friends came in and went to the banquet hall to the left. We were seated in a large room. There was another luncheon going on in the other corner and then us on the other side. We didn't have enough seating so we told the staff we needed more tables. As 5 family members were standing between 6-8 minutes after asking a second time for more seats to set up a bus boy said to them "sit somewhere or leave". This was a wake and even if it was a birthday it shouldn't have been said. Sadly after my mom who was grieving her husbands death had to deal with this and spoke with Joanne Naughton (who didn't want to give her last name but we now know is the owner) told my mom that we should be thanking the kitchen staff rather than complaining about what was said. Joanne was not helpful or apologetic at all. So, we would definitely not recommend The Camelot for anything. If you want excellent Polish food then go to the Belvedere Chateau in Palos Hills which we sadly didn't choose. The staff was ok. Food was bland. Owner Joanne Naughton very unprofessional and rude and not a sensitive bone to be found. read more

My last reviev was removed. So I not recommended this place for two reason it's expensive and diners aren't good as they say.

I must say that this place is a very nice banquet hall inside. The food and service are great as well. I am surprised at how lovely the inside is considering as the actual outside restaurant sign is outdated. I think if the restaurant were to update the sign, it would definitely represent what is in fact inside. It's very elegant with a modern touch. read more

I had my daughters bridal shower here on Aug. 30th 2015, and was very happy with everything. The food was very good, the staff very accommodating, especially Eva. Almost all of my guests raved about how beautiful the room was. I would recommend Camelot for your next event. read more
