Sat down for a drink and the the snow plow guy very rudely asks me to move my car so they can plow. Why on a Wednesday night and not in off hours, I have no idea. So I move it where he tells me to and go back in. Then he pulls up to my window and says it's the wrong spot. Ok, I move my car again. Go back in, have a drink. While I was there. I left something in my car and went to go get something. He pulls up to my car and lays in the horn and starts yelling at me. Good thing k paid because I was livid and just left and went down the street to Stone City. Much better atmosphere there.

If you're looking for a drink and a bite after dropping your kid off at Romeoville Sports Complex it's literally in the parking lot of the facility. Very sweet bartender, friendly crowd and nice strong drinks. I had the double cheeseburger with Swiss and grilled onions and I can't wait to come back and have another one.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out apps were 25% off- which meant we had to try the pretzel. I think it may have been the biggest pretzel I've ever seen in my life. The outside was a melt-in-your-mouth fried texture with the inside being soft and doughy in the best way. Paired with any of the 3 dips, it made for the most delicious appetizer that essentially filled up our entire table itself. Special shoutout to the arse sauce & their honey mustard- sooo good. The table also tried the buffalo chicken wrap (YUM), caprese sandwich (good!), and penne alla vodka (somewhat mid but better as leftovers). Sweet potato tots were the perfect side. This was my third time here and they honestly never disappoint. Service & food always hit. My go to spot when visiting Plainfield!

Luckily, this visit was much better We arrived right after they opened on Saturday afternoon. The location was easy to find and there was a decent amount of parking. For lunch, we shared the 1.5lb pretzel which was more than enough for our group of 5 1/2 people. As for my burger, I got their Blue Cheeseburger. Overall, it was a decent burger. Good flavor, cooked a nice medium rare which I wanted. Our waitress was nice and friendly and the price was reasonable for 2 adults and 1 kid

If you're looking for a true neighborhood pub experience, Jackson Avenue Pub is definitely worth…read morechecking out. The restaurant itself is very small, with a bar and just a handful of tables, but that's part of its charm. It genuinely feels like the kind of pub you'd stumble into while traveling outside the U.S. Thankfully, we were lucky enough to walk in and find a table ready for us. My wife and I started with the pretzels and beer cheese appetizer, which was a delicious way to kick things off. For our entrees, I went with the fried pickle burger, while my wife ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. The burger was perfectly juicy, and honestly, it was one of the best, if not the best, burgers I've had in Naperville. The buffalo chicken wrap was very good as well, with a nice kick from the buffalo sauce. Overall, Jackson Avenue Pub has that cozy, authentic pub atmosphere that's hard to find, along with some really tasty food. Definitely a spot we'd come back to!

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch after running errands. Upon entering, we waited at…read morethe hostess stand for assistance, but no one arrived to seat us. 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.

It was 5:45, I didn't have a reservation, a they didn't have a table available until 7:30 but there were spots at the bar which they said was full service. My friend and I cozied up to it and ate there. What a surprisingly good experience. The staff was super friendly and that bartenders had great suggestions. I hate when people at the restaurant say everything is good. Not these young ladies. They made some sound suggestions which we followed. French onion soup and the steak frites were both excellent and priced well IMO. They have a really good whiskey/bourbon selection with a few hard to find bottles. I settled on a Blantons neat. They had Pappy, but I'm not wasting money on that anymore. Food came out quickly and we ate and watched a baseball game. The locals at the bar told us about their membership program where I guess for a small mo they fee you get a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate once a month. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I'd certainly join. In any case, if you live anywhere close, this is definitely a worthwhile restaurant to visit. Seems like there were quite a few singles there as well if you are looking to meet someone. I have no idea what the dating scene is like in Lemont, but this might be a good spot to try.

We went for a date night and it was honestly such an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It is lively and has a great energy, but it is not overwhelming or too crazy, which makes it perfect for a date night. You can actually talk, relax, and enjoy your time together, which is exactly what we were looking for. We ordered a mix of things and everything was so good. The BBQ platter with ribs, pulled chicken, mac and cheese, fries, and toast was packed with flavor and perfect for sharing. The chicken dish with mashed potatoes and greens was also amazing and really well done. We also got dessert and it was the perfect sweet ending to the night. The service was great the entire time. Our server was especially attentive and funny, which made the experience even better and added such a fun, personal touch to the night. Overall this is such a great spot and definitely one we will keep coming back to. If you are looking for a place that has a fun atmosphere but still feels comfortable for a date night, I would absolutely recommend checking this place out.
