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.

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.

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!

We…read moredid wait a little to get helped at first and the host wasn't around, but once we were seated things picked up. For drinks, I tried the lychee mojito -- it was strong but had really good flavor and was enjoyable. For an appetizer, we got the pretzels. They had a nice garlic seasoning on them and were pretty filling. These were good. For mains, we ordered the Hangover Burger, tenders, and the Bulleit Bourbon Burger. Everything was really delicious. My fries just needed a tad bit of salt, but the burger itself was cooked well (I asked for medium). The flavors were good, and the honey running down actually worked well with everything. Our waiter was also really good and provided solid service. Overall, a great experience -- will be back.

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.

We first learned about Skeleton Key when we visited Bengston's Pumpkin Farm and fell in love with…read morethe Octoberfest beer offered onsite from Skeleton Key Brewery. Intrigued, we found our way to Skeleton Key Brewery and have been in love ever since! The moment you walk into Skeleton Key, you feel welcomed by the staff and inviting space /ambiance. With the main bar area and a part space, there is plenty of room to spread out. Clean, open, and quirky decor, we really enjoy being physically inside of Skeleton Key. The seating is also well spread apart and very comfy! For this reason, we often come to hangout, do some work, and watch games. It is a great place to come and spend some time with others! But, most importantly, the beer is delicious and well priced. The Octoberfest is scrumptious and what brought us to Skeleton Key. But Saudade, Frog Splash, and Migratory are some of our other favorites. My husband has loved all of the IPA's he has tried. Adam and all of the other staff are absolute delights! They make the experience even more positive and something we look forward to! We always look forward to our next Skeleton Key Brewery visit! Cheers!

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.

The food is honestly the best thing about this spot; the vibes aren't quite right for a special date night, but might be perfect for a birthday party or girls night out and service can either be hit or miss. If you come here, definitely make a night of it in downtown Lemont - there's lots to explore, whether for a nightcap or dessert after Barrel & Vine to turn it into a night.

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.

Kind of a rough crowd if we're allowed to be judging. There's lots of vintage crap on the walls so check this place out if you like looking at that kind of stuff. Any okay dive bar needs to have cheap drinks. It has them here. There's a few drafts and lots more in cans, as well as the hard stuff. It's about $5 for a cocktail. Only thing is these are pretty loaded with ice so these aren't strong. As for food, about the only option is a couple bucks for bags of chips. Take some bills with you because this place is cash only. Basic looking from the outside and not as bad as expected on the inside. It's a pretty old school looking place. The payment system is too as they won't accept credit cards, so put a few bills in the purse or wallet.
