But I was WRONG, this food hands down best food In Sycamore, and we have visited 2 times. Our server was great, so nice & friendly & also the bartender, she had her hands full! The Crunch Rolls, like giant mozzarella sticks in egg roll form, what a great infusion!

You HAVE to try the burgers. It's cooked perfectly, so incredibly juice, toppings are flavored so so well. Sauces are fire. I cannot think of one bad thing about this except that I didn't order a second one.

We had the italian beef egg rolls to start. They were good, but actually needed a sauce instead of aus jus. But they were still good. I love giardiniera, and they have a really spicy,flavourful one. It goes really well with the Chicago pub burger too. The thing is huge! And tasty! He had a patty melt. Mine was better, but the burgers are just juicy and are made well. Our server was super nice and very attentive! Mae apparently likes her job which is great! Just passing through but I'd come back for cocktails and some more food sometime.

We happened to stumble on Crooked Horns looking for a nice spot for breakfast in town. The service…read morewas great, the server came back multiple times to refill drinks, but wasn't pushy about getting us out when we were done eating. There is a very large selection for breakfast. We ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant and the Nutella crepes with strawberries. Both items were very large portions for a good value and came out relatively quickly. We went with our baby and were able to put the car seat in the booth with us because the tables are very big, which is great. The restaurant has music on, but just loud enough to hear, but quiet enough to have a comfortable conversation without being distracted or having to yell. Overall, I would recommend anyone going to find a quality breakfast at a reasonable price.

The fish fry was good. I would skip the catfish, but the walleye and cod were very good. The bread roll they gave you with the dinner was also very good. 8 breaded shrimp special was also good. Fries were way overcooked and they probably need to clean The fryer. The fries are a very dark color. Service was decent for the bar being packed.

You can either eat there or take it to go either way you wont be disappointed. I will definitely be back to try more of the amazing food. My favorite items on the menu that are traditional is the butter chicken, chicken tikki marsala, Lava chicken, and chicken biriyani. My favorite infusions are butter chicken mac and cheese, the Gyro, butter chicken quesodilla. I really enjoy all the flavors. The Lassi drinks are really good too.

He explained everything to us and we selected a samosa chat, a favorite of mine, and my dining companion ordered the lava chicken. The owner explained the dish to us and convinced us it was a must have. Must have? Yes... MUST HAVE!!! It's a sweet and deliciously spiced dish that Is pretty mild given the explosively fiery name. Delicious texture to the chicken with a light crunchy, not breaded, and the sauce? OMG!!! Travel here from Arizona if need be. The mango lassi was spot on delicious but the lavender smooth? It's from another world that is full of peace and happiness. Seriously... no exaggeration. Come and experience.

Pretty good food. The Italian Beef is where most of the hype surrounding Portillo's rests, and…read morewhile good, I'd actually recommend their burgers. Personal preference I suppose. Ask for a well done burger so it can have a little bit of char and you're in for a treat. Also-- I'd be doing a grave injustice to any potential readers if I didn't mention the cheese fries. The good thing about their cheese fries is they don't come with cheese on them lol; you get it in a small container. Dip and destroy!

Being just after the usual grazing time for him we found this establishment that checked all the boxes for the three of us. Outdoor seating as well as indoor seating was available, seat yourself style. We sat inside. The noise level was not loud at all. Perfect for table conversations. The menu had too many tasty sounding items. I chose the Fatty Melt with the Cajun Fried Potato Salad and Coleslaw. My wife had the Chicken Club Wrap with Onion rings and Beans (for me). The little had the 2 mini sliders with fries. Being family we share the sides and the onion rings were a hit. The number one treat in my book was the Cajun Fried Potato Salad. The bean had a good smoky flavor to them. Last but not least our server should get top billing in the review. Jordan did a fantastic job accommodating our requests and took the time to answer questions without feeling rushed. She made us feel more like a friend than a patron. Hats off to you Jorden! Thanks for making our visit enjoyable.

NIU is my Alma-Matter so my husband and 2 kids find it a fun and nostalgic weekend. Tony [husband] looked up and found Hink's for the first time on google reviews. He said not one bad review, he's kind of a rainman-savant when it comes to finding good places out of nowhere to eat at. It's a rather small place but I'm glad I played along b/c this place blows away the other larger Sycamore eating places we used-to go to. Now we have put this place on our regular-rotation of places to eat, its our new favorite place to eat and have come by just about every friday or saturday night since Corn Fest. Pizza is fab and Bloody Mary's are about the best you can find [from scratch NO mix!] The two guys on shift work like crazy and handle the whole place, really just two guys! WOW.

Ski's is one of the many sports bars in town and amazingly these all get full somehow. Get some cheap ass drinks. The food isn't anything impressive or worth getting most times. Bar that has a sports theme to it. It's like a little better than a dive bar apparently so it's better than it looks. This almost looks nice enough for it to be okay for a family lol kidding obviously. Has a few arcades and games. There's darts, which can be hazardous with the frat boys launching these. It's about $3 for the cheapest cocktails. Whiskey and whatever. It's about $3 for appetizers. There's things like cheese curds and the chips and salsa, but also pizza. Even though it looks crappy it's better than it looks to be honest. It's located on West State Street far from other bars and restaurants. This is a combination of locals mixing with the outsider college students.
