I had one of those Clipp certificates ($30 food for $15). I got 10 wings with a salt n vinegar dry rub, fries and carrots/celery. My wife got a grilled chicken sandwich with a side of broccoli. She said her sandwich was made with two chicken tenders rather than a full breast. The sandwich was just meh. She liked the broccoli. My wings came without anything. I told our sever they forgot to put the salt n vinegar on. He went and got me a side of salt to pour on. The fries were Luke warm at best. They charge $2 for 3 carrot strips and 4 celery pieces. I also got a Michelob ultra which was $3. It was nice and cold. Our server was new and did not know the menu too well, but he was trying. We were seated in the gaming room, which okay but a little weird. A musician showed up halfway through our meal and played his guitar but no one could see him play because he was right by the back door. Overall, it was okay but somewhat forgettable. read more

One of my favorites for wings if not my favorite. I just walked out of there for following reasons. 1. Seemed like the bartender was only one taking care of guests. I was being yelled at from behind bar what want to drink. Maybe I had questions? I wanted ice water. She was not busy. 2. Then asked if I wanted to see a menu. Well...... of course that's why I'm her. 1 & 2 took 15 min since I sat down. 3. She drops off water and menu on the run not even a customer greet. Now maybe she having a bad day? Possible 4. This is what turned me off. She kept flicking her hair multiple times. Scratching her head. Then walking over to front check in and started brushing her hair in front of whole restaurant. No sign of washing her hands. 5. Oh yea. During this time scrolling on her phone. FB or IG. Reason I know this saw a video playing as she walked away. Scrolling uncontrollably. Now I've been sitting at my table by the bar. Haven't even been approached yet. I gave few more minutes. Menu closed, she saw. I was ready to order but stood at front on phone I walked out. Sorry Cross Town This review is not fair to cross town because usually the servers are real friendly and food fantastic. I hope a manager sees this and corrects the problem Wednesday 9/16 1pm. read more

Just walking in the front entry gave off a really bad smell and vibe and it went downhill from there. No one to greet us and we were left standing by the door for 7 minutes before someone showed up to take us to a table. Following the greater back to the table I noticed only about 1/3 of the tables were occupied. Once we were seated we started looking around and noticed how dirty everything was... floors, tables, chairs, even the menus. We also noticed we were seated next to where a musician of some sort was just starting to set up and who placed a speaker literally right next to my ear. Decided the culinary gods were not in our favor with this establishment and decided to leave. We had been at our table at least 10 minutes at that point and not even met our server. When you know, you know! read more

Came Here Many A Time To Dine!! Each Time, Made For Fun Times!! How many a time, Beau & I, zoomed over here to meet with the guys !! Too many a time to count !! I must say, the food & service here: Are Worth Coming Out of The House!! The Ambiance: Is Dark & Cosy, typical of a tavern..Although the tables, can be a tad too small to accommodate the many orders . The Service: Is Mostly Friendly & Accommodating.. The Food: Beau & the guys: Always Got The Wings.. There are so many Specialty Rubs to choose from, that there is something for everyone!! Plus, they have specials, throughout the week!! Recommended: Their Chili, with all the works, which is wonderful !! Their Elotes, are underrated, & oh so good! Their Papi's Fritas: french fry, meaty, cheesy appetizer, Is Simply Fabulous!! Love their Crinkle Fries, too!! Whilst the whole of their menu, sounds Appetizing, & Worth Trying!! Loved Coming Here, For Fun Dining!!! read more

Went on a Sunday early evening. Service was super slow. I ordered their soup of the day, 20 min later I received a bowl of vegetables and chicken but no broth. I sent it back asking for some soup with my soup. 25 min later an extremely salty bowl of "soup" came out with random noodles sitting on top. (Basically a bouillon cube and hot water). Wings were fine. Our server was great just running the entire bar by herself. Unfortunately I always give this place another try and they disappoint every time. read more

Wow. I have not been here in a few years. I had a hankering for wings so thought I'd stop. The chicken itself was good, but I did not get the sauces I ordered. My friend had the chicken Sandwich and kettle chips. The chips were inedible- like cardboard. The server was slow to get back and then offered to take the wings back and get the correct sauces. I was afraid they would rinse them and serve them! I also felt it was weird to payfor sauces and rubs all carte. The entire restaurant could use a coat of paint and some repairs. The restroom was especially bad. There were dirty dishes and cleaning bottles on the bar as you enter. Not inviting at all. They are automatically adding a 3.5% service charge even before you choose cash or charge. Not a stop in will ever be making again. read more

I've come here at least a dozen times over the past few years and I really want to like this place but I give up. It's pretty decent and unique bar food but the quality is hit or miss and the last time we went the service was atrocious. Server came to our table 3-4 times tops throughout the meal and forgot a drink and all of "build your own" parts of the build your own burger my friend ordered. Had to go to the bar to get a new drink and the soda we ordered. We could see the server inside watching tv instead of actually checking in on us or any other tables, and was so distracted watching the soccer game that I had to walk up front and wave him down to try and pay. To top it off the bugs on the patio were so bad we had to move ourselves inside (no server around) and my legs are still covered in bites. Get it together. read more

The service is very inattentive, food was not great, and the price is high. There was also flys (I know can't really help that) but still not a good experience overall. Will not be returning. read more

We've been here a few times since Covid and this location is less busy compared to Naperville. The service we had is always pretty good and attentive. The wings taste the same as the ones in Naperville too. My favorite is the sweet chili garlic. I tried the Caribbean jerk and it was okay, not my fave. We do like the waffle fries though. We took some of our fam and they were a little confused with the menu and how to order, and to be honest, it is very overwhelming at first. They just have a lot of choice. We do like the wings here a lot though. Thursdays are half off wings, but then the sauces kind of add up to be the same haha read more

Went into Crosstown Pub for a quick drink while waiting for a friend. There is plenty of parking, and we walked right in to sit at the bar. We were offered a drink and food menu. Informed we were just going to grab a drink, and the bartender took the order right away. The Not yo mama punch was pretty good. They also had live music going, which helped create a fun little entertainment. read more

Crosstown Pub & Grill Batavia - Not yo mama punch - Chicken Wings Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

First time there with some local and out of town friends. There wasn't much on the menu that I woould normally eat. What I had was one of the worst restaurant meals I have ever had. The only good thing was that we had a room all to ourselves which was great for conversation. Never pplan to return as I noticed no one finished their meals and noone got a take home box. read more

Tried this place 3 times now before reviewing. Hoping it was a fluke because the wings are actually pretty decent. But all 3 times, the service is among the worst I've ever had. Everything from being ignored, forgetting food, rude servers, putting extra items on my bill, not honoring when food was bad and wanted to send it back, and a 3.5% service charge on the bill. (Sorry, but I deduct from the tip when I see this, especially if not told ahead of time). This seems to be a place ran by children with no real leadership. The staff acts like they are all there to just hang out rather than work. And when you walk in and are waiting to be seated, the first thing you smell are the bathrooms. Also, it's pretty damn expensive for wings and sandwiches. Literally everything is an up-charge. And I'm currently typing this the morning after on the toilet sh*tting my brains out. read more

I placed an order for pickup. Half of my order was wrong and items were missing. No big deal but they charged a dollar more for fries, which I didn't get. The order ticket on the bag itself had my order exactly as I wanted, so not sure why what they gave me didn't match. Let's just say I would have had a better burger if I just got Culver's. read more

Found this place the other day and gave it a try. I order a chicken burrito that was call a "Sucker punch" the waitress suggested that I have the sauce on the side. Glad I did because man it was hot. One drop and it set my mouth on fire. The chicken was diced up tenders along with rice made up the rest of the burrito. Probably won't order this again. My wife had a club sandwich which was huge and quite tasty. We will try them again in the near future. read more

What a disappointment-- our waitress Sabrina was awful!! Never came by to see what was up, No silverware, napkins, nothing!! Way too much money for--WAY too little!! What ever happened to customer service?? read more

I've come here quite a bit over the years and I've always ordered 2 orders of wings on the Thursday they are half off. Today it was a problem and it offended me. Why have a special if you don't want to honor it? I ate as much as I could and wanted to take the rest home. My server was excellent. This post isn't against her. I'm sorry but I forgot her name...maybe Jayla or was it Jené. It's not like I'm not going to eat the wings I'm full. I ate 8 wings ( really 4 of hole wings when you put em together). I take Monjaro (however you spell it) for diabetes and it makes you get full fast. I'm single and didn't want to cook later if I eat again and I will have some for lunch. I don't see what the big deal is. Now if I came in and ordered 5 orders and I'm by myself then say something but don't threaten me with rules after the order is placed. When I left out it looked like all the servers were starring at me because they had a conversation about me. Not cool for $7 or $14 if I didn't eat half! read more

Don't come on half price wing nights on Thursday. We came in with a larger group and 1/3 of our food had issues or was missing altogether. The grilled wings were burnt, naked wings were dry and we didn't get our sauces. Two people didn't get their fries. When we asked for things like water, we got eye rolls. On top of that, apparently large groups are charged a "service fee " of 4% on top of a mandatory 25% tip. So plan on an extra 30% vs the typical 20%. This was my favorite wing place, now it's gotten spotty. We have a good experience alternating with bad. read more

I've always heard about the hype and talk about this chain. Today was the day that I finally decided to check it out. Ironically, this was mainly due to luck. The wife and I were running some errands nearby. We stopped by Chilis a block north but this location has been closed since July. Weird...nothing shows up about it? We found this location near the back of the street. Parking could probably get a little busy but luckily we had no issues when we arrived. The hostess asked if we wanted to sit outside or inside, but we picked inside. We ordered the 3 corner pretzel. Wow! This was enough to feed 6-8 people because it was huge. Came with 3 rubs which were honey mustard, roasted garlic, and bacon cheddar. Then it came with 3 sauces, honey sriracha, jalapeno cheddar, and parm garlic. Overall, it was delicious, especially with the different combos between rubs and sauces. For my meal, I decided to try the grilled wings with the honey sriracha. For being the 2nd spiciness item...it was not spicy to me. However, I grew up eating sriracha so maybe that helped. Overall, the food was good. Prices were reasonable, but the food was delicious. Will have to return in the future. read more

I stopped there with my sister for a bite to eat. My sister ordered munch-skins: potatoe skins topped with carnitas, Carolina Q sauce,bacon, cheese, and onions served with sour cream. She loved her potatoe skins. I love Tomatoes so I ordered a BLT, What I got was bacon, a piece of lettuce and NO TOMATO on half my sandwich and the other half was just bacon, no lettuce at all and no tomatoes. It took almost 10 minutes before I saw someone to ask for our waitress. A guy who was in the bar came over instead. I explained the problem and he said something about bringing it on the side. I thought he was going to bring me a new sandwich, instead he brought me two slices of tomato and a couple of pieces of lettuce. By that time my sandwich was cold and I had pretty much lost my appetite. How can you forget to add TOMATO TO A BLT?? OR TOMATOES AND LETTUCE TO A BLT?? AND instead of getting me a fresh sandwich with the required Lettuce and tomatoes, they just gave me a few pieces of lettuce and 2 slices of tomato to fix my sandwich myself. If I wanted to make a BLT - I would have stayed home and made it. At least when the young man checked back with me and I told him it was cold, he said he would discount it. He did only charge half price but under the circumstances, I'm not feeling that was sufficient since I couldn't even enjoy half the sandwich. I'll never go there again. I've worked in the food service industry when I was younger and I was always taught that if there's a problem with a order, you bring them a fresh or order, you don't give them a plate and expect them to fit it themselves. The waitress I don't think even apologized! The young man was more apologetic. When I can asked the waitress how can you make a BLT without the tomato and lettuce she just said I don't know. Very disappointed!! read more

We heard that Crosstown was voted best wings in the tri-cities so we gave them a try. We were disappointed as the wings were just ok. Wings Plus and B-dubs are much better. Also Crosstown was so expensive! They even charge you based on which sauce(s) you choose. Who does that? Won't be ordering from them again. read more

WOWWWWWWWW. Just ordered the A$$ kicked breaded wings for delivery and they did NOT disappoint. I love crosstown's sucker punch sauce but it's a pinch too easy. I saw the A$$ kicked, which is habanero and devil sweat hot sauce so I thought it would be a step up. It was EASILY three steps up but tasty as all heck! My mouth and lips are still burning as I type this but in a reeeeaaaalllly good way if you like spicy stuff. Many many many years ago, as a young lad, my friends and I would challenge each other to hot contests at wing places like hooters and b dubs. If anyone ordered the hottest stuff, part of the challenge was to not drink ANYTHING until you were done with everything. If anyone knows, back in the day three mile island and blazing we're the hottest wings to beat at the aforementioned places. Regularly, we'd all be able to demolish the three mile island wings off because they were so tasty, but blazing was stupid hot for the sake of being hot; the flavor was certainly lacking. Fast forward to today when I ate these monsters. The initial flavor on the A$$ kicked was amazing: sweet and savory, maybe a little smoke; the flavor profile was so complex that I wanted more. I knew after the second one, though, that it was going to be an epic battle. Being hungry, I threw down the next three, enjoying that flavor profile, even being delivered, the wings were crunchy and well breaded. After that fourth wing, things started getting a little hairy. My mouth needed a break, but because I couldn't break certain covenants, I dunked into the blue cheese sauce. It's said that capsaicin can be calmed by dairy; what a lie. Over the next five wings, I was on the verge of hiccups but I was not about to let them them beat me. I had to finish these tasty wings! The last one, (a flap), looked up at me, laughing, knowing that it was going to beat me tonight, or even worse, tomorrow morning. I poured that last remnant of blue cheese on it and stuck it down, wondering why I would do anything so stupid. After I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked down at that styrofoam, I hearkened back to a much simpler time, before kids, before responsibilities. Crosstown has done it again, and if you like spicy, these wings are well worth it. If not for the amazing quality and flavor, but for the days of yore; the days before jobs, bills and taxes, and expectations. Check this place out. (My English literature major of a brother would kill me for my sentence fragments and semicolons but I can't see straight from the heat lol) Do yourselves a favor and at least try this place out. read more

Crosstown Pub & Grill Batavia - A$$ KICKED breaded wing remnants. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

3.5% service fee nonsense, so the best possible review is 1 star, but otherwise would be a 3 for consistently meh service.

My wife and I used to be frequent customers but as time went the food quality and service was diminishing. In fact, we always wondered when it would close. We went Saturday night on a whim and boy have they turned it around. The new focus on monthly food and drink specials is a big win. I had the Tijuana Hot Wings which were some of the best wings I have ever had and I eat them a lot. Be prepared as they seriously are hot which I can take. My wife had the Chicken Fajita Burrito and again it was great. Kudos also on having drink specials that include the weekends. Couple that with great entertainment on the patio and it was a fantastic night. The only reason for not 5 stars is the initial wait for staff was longer than should be expected and I never understand why a sports bar like Crosstown dosen't always have a game on the TVs. Keep it up! read more

The food was nastier then how bad the service was even though it took 30 minutes for me to receive the check. the pretzel was so dry I needed to dip it into a pitcher of water. don't get me started on how bad the singer was. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! read more

Wings: I can see why people would give this place a lower rating because of the extra charges on the wings. I read someone said they charge for celery, which I don't need to get but I know most places will include it. I didn't come to a restaurant to eat celery anyway lol If you want it, then pay extra. Most people don't even eat it and I can see it going to waste. And then there's an extra charge if you want a dry rub (+$1) or sauce (+2) but hey, their wings are really good! Big, variety of rubs/sauce flavors, quality wings, and you can either get them breaded, naked or grilled! They don't charge you for ranch or bleu cheese, and their cups are big. Most places would charge you. I love garlic and to see 3 flavors of garlic is heaven to me. They have Parmesan garlic, garlic buffalo and sweet chili garlic, which I ordered. Although, I do wish they would let you order a different flavor. You can only have all 10 wings one way. Rattlesnake bites: Reminds me of hush puppies but with chicken inside. Looking at them, I didn't think they looked good lol but once I took a bite, juicy chicken, crispy breaded on the outside and cajun flavor! I have been to this location at least 3 times. Loved everything I have ordered so far and the service is great. Can't remember their names but the first time we had a guy out on the patio and he was awesome. Had recommendations for us to try and it did not disappoint. Drinks: They have a huge selection of beer on tap and slots to play with dividers. You're gonna have a good time here lol read more

When I think of restaurants down in Batavia the only one that comes to mind is a little Mexican one near the river. So I was down that way recently I was pleased when a friend suggested we meet for lunch at this here. The place has four rooms, two bars and a nice vibe. Each room has its own character. The room on the southeast corner has the slot machines. The one on the northeast corner has the fireplace. The two on the west side of the building are probably where all the partying happens because the southwest corner has a cool bar, the northwest corner room looks like it would be an overflow room from the bar and both rooms look out onto the patio. When I arrived I found out it was Taco Tuesday! When in Rome... so I had one of each of the tacos. They were good. Each had its own character and were tasty as far as tacos go. I also ordered a soup. I think it might have been chicken tortilla..? Whatever it was, it was gooood. Perfectly seasoned to give my mouth some kick without deadening my tastebuds. Crosstown is a place I wish I had in my neighborhood because of how it feels inside. It's a place where you want to hang out. Especially the main bar. And I imagine the patio is also great in the summer. But what kicked my review up a star from the other 4-star hangouts I've reviewed like this was Eric, our server. He was helpful with food choices, fun, friendly, attentive but not overbearing, and made my visit that much more enjoyable. read more

Well, what a difference ... we were regular customers, then the pandemic hit, and like all other restaurants it's been difficult to recover, especially staffing! My husband and I went a couple weeks ago, and the side dining rooms were closed, but I am limited, and can't sit on the high top table, they were kind enough to allow us to sit at a regular table. We ordered an appetizer, their rattlesnake bites, they're delicious, a decent size of eight white breast chicken rolled with cheese and bacon, and sprinkled with Cajun seasoning, they're food is not your typical bar food. Went there today, and we noticed they renovated the dining areas, looks so nice! Lots of upcoming special events. Staff is friendly and accommodating! Food is delicious. So glad things are looking better for these establishments. Give it a try, it was good to be back! Thanks!!!! read more

I need to give props where they are due. We left this place alone for a good many years after not having the best of initial experience. We've now been back a couple times in the last six months and found the menu, service and experience to be much better. Well done! read more

A pleasant good Ambience at this place that is a stand-alone sports restaurant that has the old school setting. Restaurants divided until three sections and all them seem to be pretty cool and clean the food here is a pretty good choice in a couple.

My daughter said we should try this place for lunch so we did. This place is pretty big. We previously visited this place before. It was a Mexican restaurant. It's looks exactly the same but they put sports memorabilia all over the place. We were greeted right away and ask if we wanted to sit indoor or outside. We choose inside. They have a very large selection of beer. The waitress was very nice and explained everything. Very professional. We tried the appetizer Cheeseheads and its was pretty good. We split an order of wings and did the breaded dry rubs. They were pretty good. I think we should have tried them non breaded wings. Breaded were a little messy. One thing I will say is that the wings are very large. I guess that's a plus. The fries with a side order of cheese was pretty good. Fries were just right and the cheese perfect. Overall this place was alright. I would have given them a better rating but for an appetizer, wings and some fries with one tea for $35.00. I think that's kinda pricey for not having any liquor. I didn't try any drinks so maybe next time I can and maybe this will change my review. read more

This place is great! We are always treated well by Sami, the best bartender in the business. We never have to wait for drinks and she already knows everyone's regular orders!

Great place to catch a game and take a few spins on the slots. read more

Ordered wings and was charged $2.50 for about an ounce worth of BBQ and $1.00 for ranch which was not delivered. Also ordered kids meal with a fruit cup as the side. The "fruit cup" was a bunch of disgusting looking lemon slices intended to go on a beer glass in a container labeled as "oranges". Not acceptable for a child and not something that looked edible for anyone. This isn't that difficult guys, if you don't have fruit then don't put it on your menu. We won't be back. read more

The best wings in town! The wings here are just as good as the ones at the Naperville location. Half price wings on Thursdays!! They also have $5 Revolution Brewing Pints. The wings are meaty and there are tons of wet and dry rub sauce options. My favorites are garlic Parmesan and honey Sriracha. 10 wings per order and you can do half and half on flavors. They have a daily special everyday. If you happen to find yourself here on a Wednesday, they have discounted sandwich. Their Montes' Revenge sandwich is delicious! This sandwich is made with French toast stuffed with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese and served with raspberry chutney. The sweet and salty combination is heavenly. Happy hour every day 3 pm - 5 pm. Half price liquor, beer, wine, & appetizers read more

We have eaten here on several occasions, Today was Taco Tuesday and my wife wanted French Onion Soup. I was excited that Crosstown was going to fit the bill. I found the Tacos to be very greasy and kinda flavorless, The soup also was very greasy and the broth not beefy at all - just thin onion broth. We also got a build your own burger that was prepared well and tasty The service was a little slow at first (training, took a bit to get to our table) but once they got going it went well. We will probably go back as we have had multiple good experiences in the past read more
