Came to support a family friend, he sings, and was met with racist/prejudice remarks. The waitress literally asked our WHITE friends if we were encroaching on them, the audacity to insinuate we weren't wanted is beyond ignorant. I can't believe she couldn't fathom that white people and Mexican can peacefully be friends and coexist. Food sucked, ambiance sucked, and overall a shitty establishment but that what you get for supporting small business tan by bigots and racist. read more

Food: I ordered the cheese sticks. They were pretty tasty, but nothing special. My bf ordered the wings and he loves them! 5/5 Service: we sat at the bar so the service was on point! 5/5 Ambiance: it is a normal local bar! They do have a banquet area for private parties. I never seen the faculty super crowded but on Tuesdays Trivia, both the bars and main seating area can be crowded. 5/5 Overall: 15/15 read more

Came here for a graduation party in the private room. Our bartender was attentive and the drinks were mixed well. I had pizza and beef, both were good. I wish they had a spoon for us to add extra juice to the beef. Pizza had a good crust and flavor. The wings/nuggets were served with two sauces that you add yourself. Flavor was ok. I would try this place for a normal sit down meal. read more

Me and my family moved to Lockport 8 months ago and I finally was able to go to the restaurant for lunch. I had the Coom burger and fries and it was delicious. Not too crowded for a Thursday lunch. We sat in the restaurant area separate from the bar area so we could chat. It was nice. My friend suggested we go there so she could order her favorite salad. Definitely will go back. Looks like they have a nice outdoor seating area as well for the warmer months. Five stars definitely! read more

A family friendly restaurant and bar owned by former Major League Baseball Player and current Chicago Cubs announcer Ron Coomer. We were in the area so decided to stop in for a Friday night dinner. We were seated immediately in the bar area that had " Live" entertainment. Service was great and their menu features traditional bar food along with tacos, pasta, salads, pizza and a kids menu. Nice beer selection serving many locally crafted beers. My wife had their Cauliflower Tacos since she is Gluten free. Generous portion, reasonably priced and loaded with flavor. I had their Pot Roast Egg Rolls. You get 4 full egg rolls cut in half packed with homemade pot roast, mozzarella and giardiniera. Good flavor but I would have preferred more giardiniera. Comes with a chipotle ranch dipping sauce which was good in flavor but not sure it went with the pot roast. For a nice friendly environment where you can watch sports games while eating good home cooked food,Cooms is a great choice! read more

Absolutely love going to Coom's Corner. Whether it's just to grab a burger and a beer, play a few slot machines, or spend a couple hours watching a game, it's always a great spot to hang out. read more

This is a welcoming neighborhood place with deep community roots. It's a little divey but not enough to detract from the overall experience. I was with a larger group that showed up without calling ahead and they made accommodations for us without delay or difficulty. Our waitress was quick and friendly. She was on point the whole time. They had "juke box" type music players which play until the live musicians start. The food was timely and well made. We all enjoyed ourselves. Nobody left hungry:). An overall great experience with no issues. We all enjoyed ourselves and will be returning. It's definitely worth giving a try! read more

OY where do I begin?? This place came highly recommended. I ordered the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. Although it was huge, it was extremely greasy and overcooked. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE FRY OIL WAS CHANGED?! My husband had the chicken Piccatta. Also greasy and overcooked! Our server offered me the grilled pork tenderloin and it was a major improvement...but my husband felt that the server should have been more observant of what she is serving . She got the so called manager, who told my husband that his chicken looked fine and that she would eat it. She actually grabbed his fork and started to take a bite of it! I was grossed out by that!! I've never seen anyone in management do something like that... then she said she would take half off of his meal. Good riddance! read more

I am very sad to have to make this review..... I'm not sure who is running this place anymore but this was ridiculous I really believe they just don't hire enough employees or they're not in the right spot.. we walk in there. There's nobody in front. Maybe there's only one server. She's been there for a while. I'm definitely not making this complaint to go against the employees because there's sincerely nice. They cannot control the food. But when you don't have a boss or a manager there to make sure customers are being taken care of in a timely manner. It's a free-for-all.. times like this, economically people aren't willing to spend a hundred bucks and not to be taken care of or even have hot food... We first started off with the nachos with chicken but was served beef nachos when it came back. The cheese was cold. The server. I guess she must have been busy. I had to ask to be able to order more food. I also had a to-go order. I then ordered the Alfredo. The chicken looked terrible. It was cold and dry.... Everything took long and this is lunch, people don't have hours to spend trying to get food.... And to be honest, I really felt like I was bothering the server, it was just terrible feeling as a customer knowing this is going to cost me and I'm not even enjoying it and I had to put A full day of work so I can spend it here and not even say hey that was worth it.... And they have a good menu. As you can see in my previous reviews I've left past couple of times. I have been in there. I've had issues but I let it go because I really do like the menu and to be honest Lockport is not a great place for restaurants. They just don't have the traffic to be consistent.... I really hope they consider reevaluating The way that restaurant is being run.. unfortunately for myself I've had a few bad experiences the last few times.... And hope that things will change but I know if a complaint isn't made outside the restaurant nothing would ever be done and if nothing isn't done well it is on them... read more

Typical "hometown" bar with ok food. Not busy at all and customer service and server just lacking. Wanted to order another beer and server was non existent. Not a place I would not come back to for the price we paid for a late lunch. $72 with tip. Always looking for a owner owned business.. but would not come back. Very dark on the inside - hard to read menus which was also printed on dark paper. read more

We were coming home from hearing a storytelling event and we decided to stop in here. And I found out it's owned by former Cubs player. Ron Coomer! Great food and service! I enjoyed my patty melt and the cream of chicken soup. Both were some of the best.. We will definitely be back. read more

Bars in strip malls usually aren't impressive and can even be very bad. Coom's Corner is such a bar but it's not as bad to be honest. It's one of the places to hang out and get drunk watching games in Lockport. A sports bar with a pretty good beer menu and some better cocktails. The food is about what's expected, a lot of fried stuff. After doing something else in town it was time to get some drinks and food. In comes this bar in a strip mall. This may be kind of hard to find at first but look for the sign along the road. Has quite a few beers on tap as well as some hand crafted cocktails. It's about $12 for the Jalisco Mule. This is club soda, ginger beer, and jalapeño infused tequila. Of course you need to eat. We shared the Giant Warm Pretzel. It's about $12 for the smaller one. This was still massive though. A couple others at the bar got the big one, and we were glad we didn't get it. That one is even more massive, enough for a whole family and there would be leftovers. For a strip mall bar it's not all bad. It's not that great of a place but it shouldn't be expected to be one. There's plenty of games to play on the slots, or to watch on the multiple televisions. read more

Coom's Corner - Jalisco Mule And Giant Warm Pretzel - Sports Bars Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

Coom's is a sports bar that has fast friendly service and solid bar food offerings. We were greeted and asked to be seated at a table in the bar area and the young hostess quickly cleaned a high top table for us. I tried a Carbless cranberry vodka seltzer which was refreshing and our server obliged my request for a glass of ice. I was happy to see Cauliflower Tacos on the specials menu since I am gluten free. I think that it should be added to the regular menu because they were generously filled, moist and flavorful making them a good option for vegetarians too. My husband got a very generous serving of Pot Roast Egg rolls which he enjoyed but wasn't sure that the chipotle dipping sauce was the right pairing. They could have also used more giardinera in his opinion but he likes spice. Our server was very attentive and the overall experience was good enough to bring us back to this cozy spot when in the area. read more

I was there for first time for (sadly) a funeral luncheon. The person who died used to love to get a bite here, per his wife, so since they have a private room, it was a great choice. Bartender was awesome, but the food was spectacular!!!! And let me say that I am a bit fussy. Wow!!! Baked chicken, Italian beef, pasta with vodka sauce, seasoned potato chunks, mac & cheese, and starter salad! Everything (except I don't eat vodka sauce, but people raved) was spectacular! Really clean, bathrooms were clean, and everything was well done. Cheers. read more

We went there to have dinner on a recent Friday Night and I tried something I have never had there before... the "Midwest Pork Tenderloin Sandwich" which comes Breaded or Grilled and has lettuce, tomato, red onions, cheddar cheese, bacon, garlic aioli sauce and a side of Fries! I of course, got the breaded and deep-fried version and it was spectacular... They have to make their own buns on site in order to accommodate how big the pounded out Tenderloin is. Two people can split it and both still get filled up. In the past, I have had their cheeseburger, which is really good and the chicken wings which are also really good! They do serve pizza there... I've only had it once and it was pretty good... FYI: it does get a little loud on the bar side in the evenings but that's expected at a Sports Bar type place like this. There is a side dining area with tables and booths which is better for families and people who like to dine in a more quiet environment. read more

Never been there, never had their food or drinks but what I can say is the place is always packed. Must be somethin going on good inside.

Most of the patrons I saw when I went to the sparse seem older. The service was very sparse as the two bartenders were out and about talking and disappeared most of the time this place that I have a wide variety of drinking choices and had several televisions that were very misplaced and didn't even make sense well the place was overall clean and big the lack of workers made the ambience not feel very good read more

Pizza is to die for!!! Hamburger was fantastic cooked to perfection Service was great Great value Atmosphere was charming bathrooms were extremely clean ..a very friendly and nice place to enjoy with friends and family read more

Well I decided to try a new place because I heard it was a place that had good food and pizza but after trying this place I would have to say the opposite first even though it was 90 outside and I still would think it would be pretty cool inside but the temperature was a little warm but not hot inside second everyone talked about the pizza so I decided to try it but far from good it was a little burnt on the outside but the middle wasn't really cooked all the way and the taste wasn't impressive and third are waitress was a little slow and had to call her for another drink but even it was short handed she still could have stop by to check on us and last I order a draft bear and the first was in a glass but when I order another one came in a plastic cup and our waitress said that it was because no one washed them so I say that I won't be going back. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite and to meet up with some friends. This was a Friday evening and we had a little bit of trouble finding options that would be quick and weren't too busy to accomodate us. One of our friends suggested this and it ended up being a great choice. She was able to get seated right away while we were still on the way to the restaraunt. They had a great selection of meals that sounded amazing (we were starving!) and the food came out pretty quickly. The pretzel appetizer was huge despite it being the smaller size. I ordered a crispy honemustard chicken sandwich, my husband got the BBQ mac & cheese wrap, and our friends each had burgers. Everything came out great and we had a good amount of leftovers. There was some confusion with the bill though, which was a bit odd. Our server came with one check and didn't offer to split it between both couples. When she came back, she saw the two cards, and offered to split it 50-50. We thought it was weird she didn't split it by what we ordered, but it was fine and we were in a hurry. However when she came back with the separate checks, they were about $20 more than what they should have been. When we asked her about it, she was gone for a bit, and then returned saying she accidentally added another item to our check before splitting it. Everything was fixed, but had we not looked as closely, we would have spent an extra $40 between the two of us couples. read more

Arrived at about 8:30pm on a Friday night. The bar area was crowded, but we were able to get a table for dinner right away. The hostess and waitress were both friendly. We ordered the spinach & artichoke dip appetizer, American sliders & a BBQ Chicken Wrap. The sliders were okay and the chicken wrap was decent, but the fries tasted odd. We never did receive our appetizer we ordered. The worst part was that we were seated in a booth that shared a half wall with the bar area. This was not a problem for us except that there were either people smoking in the bar area right next to us or in the food prep area behind us. I thought Illinois was a no smoking in restaurant & bars state, no? Ironically, as we left there was an outside patio area with absolutely no one, but it had No Smoking signs posted. read more

I'll start by saying that both my wife and I enjoyed our patty melt and fries selection. I really liked the bread. The cook knew what he was doing with this sandwich. We asked the burgers be cooked medium and different places take that to mean different things. Here, the burgers were simply cooked beyond being pink inside, which also meant that they weren't dry. They were plenty juicy. That great rye bread I mentioned was toasted (grilled?) just the right amount, the crust wasn't overly crispy and we didn't have to gnaw our way through it. Finally, just the right amount of onions that were cooked so that we could actually bite through them and not pull out long strings. Plus, we both enjoyed the fries...mildly crisp and stayed warm most of our way through the meal. Why do other restaurants serve fries that go cool almost immediately? Am I goofy for complaining about paying $14.75 for a burger? To me, prices have really gotten out of hand. I used to moan about going to Ted Turner's American Grille and paying that for what was supposed to be a premium bison burger, now it's the norm. The food serving size at Coom's is certainly sufficient, though. Maybe I shouldn't write this in public but it seemed that the two of us could have placed an order for just one of the burgers and that would have served both of us well. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for large servings and don't want to see them reduced. I've worked at reducing my own size and my wife is a petite woman so we went home with leftovers. By the way, those patty melts rewarmed nicely, wrapped in foil and placed in a 350 degree oven for twelve minutes. This was our first time here and while we both liked the food and the service of Taylor H., I'm not sure if I'll go back. Had I seen photos of the dining room before deciding to try Coom's I most likely would have taken a pass. Talk about unremarkable. Very drab color on the walls and the obligatory framed sports jerseys. It's in dire need of a decorator's touch, or at least someone with a bit of imagination. There's no life to it. Eat and get the hell out. Another reviewer hit the nail on the head. This is a place that it looks like it caters to the locals. No frills, nothing to point at and comment on. It seems Coom's is best for groups of 6-8 friends to eat, drink and be merry. Maybe that's why the bar area seems to be a bit different, livelier. So, what am I saying? Good food, no atmosphere, at least for the dining but not drinking customer. Wait! I forgot something. The piped in music bites. Look at the customers, most look like classic rock fans. Whatever we were listening to this Sunday afternoon had me getting irritated. read more

Bartender not wearing a Mask and they are letting patrons enter without them. The food was good and the servers and hostess were great and wearing masks at all times. We left the bar for a table in the dining room instead as the Bartender was oblivious to the rules. This is a major NO NO while people are dying and just across the street from this place people are lined up for COVID testing at DuPage Medical. We will not be back. Entitled people/staff do not trump our rights to safety. We were there between 11:30-12:30 Monday July 7th. read more

I just don't get the appeal of this place. We keep trying it because of all the great reviews, but get disappointed repeatedly. The burger was good but the chicken parm is a mess. The noodles were so over cooked and the sauce was a can of tomato paste. The chicken was decent. The waitress made you think you were putting her out by serving you. Very bizarre. read more

Don't order food through Uber eats or door dash. If they mess it up they offer zero resolution or credits towards future purchase. Pretty much done with this place. The curly hair short manager too is a tiny nightmare. Instead of offering a resolution to a jacked up order she asked why I placed a to go order while in the restaurant. Then she looked stupid when I said my guy wanted to buy dinner for my son and I as a surprise and it was his credit card in app and not mine. They pack the place and then don't beef up the staff. Which isn't fair to them since they primarily work on tips. Like I told that little blonde troll mgr if thats what you want to call her. Because just because you run food doesn't mean you're a manager. I could teach my French bulldog to do that. Anyway. I've been in this industry for a long time and how they run it is no other than an epic fail situation. The only good thing about this place is Kelly whom my guy and I have become aquatinted with as we frequently need an outlet on Wednesday nights. Other than that this place is a 3 ring circus with no ringleader. I'm ALWAYS pro- local but in this case I just can't be. Final note: I reactivated my yelp account after years of slumber JUST TO POST THIS REVIEW. read more

Coom's Corner serves up a mean burger. For my money it's the best in Lockport. I don't always eat when I come here but today the burger patty was seasoned just perfectly. My patronage is usually limited to drinking a few beers and losing money on the video slots. I've been coming here since the Iron Horse days and Carlee the bartender has been a constant reminder of why I continue to come back. She is always quick to greet me before I even pull a stool up to the bar. Carlee knows all the regulars and their drinks, except mine since I'm always changing up my beer order. The craft beer selection has continued to surprise me. I've seen Carlee hustle with a full house and no additional help, not even a barback, and still manage to serve all the smiling faces. In my opinion there are not too many places in Lockport where you can receive this kind of service. Get down here today and pull up a stool. read more
