    Avocado toast
    Janet K.

    Ordered the avocado toast and to say I was disappointed would be on understatement. The "avocado" was barely even scraped on, and the toast was hard and stale. Truly disappointing establishment.

    Outside

    My friends and I decided to reserve an igloo outside. The outside igloo dining experience was so fun! Each igloo had a different theme. We had the Christmas theme igloo. It was decorated super cute for Christmas and it was warm inside with the space heater. Our server was very attentive, prompt and friendly. The food came out quick, hot and tasty! We all ordered different drinks. I ordered the Cranbery Sangria and it was perfect. Definitely reccomend! For appetizers, we got the spinach and artichoke dip with chips and fried ravioli. Both appetizers were delicious! I liked them both so much and can't pick a favorite because they were equally satisfying my taste buds. For our main course, we ordered a traditional thin crust pepperoni pizza and a gluten free sausage pizza. Both pizzas had nice perfectly cooked crispy crust. The gluten free crust was just as good as the traditional crust. The pepperoni was flavorful and had a spicy kick to it, which I enjoyed. The sausage on the gluten free pizza tasted like it was homemade and fantastic! The sauce was a little sweet for my liking but not bad by any means. I just prefer less sweet pizza sauce on my pizza. I would definitely return again whether in their igloo dining in the winter or anytime through the year on their patio or inside. Highly reccomend!

    Sangria And The Garden Salad

    Can you dig it? Digs On Canal is one of the local restaurants in downtown Lemont. It has a casual rustic feel if you can say that. Has a lot of barbecue and brisket kind of stuff on the menu. This doesn't sound like it's vegetarian friendly and it's not, but there's a few things like drinks and salads. Awhile ago I checked it out with a female friend. It was pretty quiet even at that time. This was in the early evening on a weekend. A majority of the menu is meaty stuff such as brisket. It also has burgers as well as macaroni and cheese. The most unfortunate thing is that even the macaroni and cheese comes with meat on it. Hard to find anything plant based. There's sangria. It's $8 for a glass. This was made with red wine the last time. Food choices for us were poor. We got the Garden Salad. It's $4.95 for a small one. This has cucumbers, garlic croutons, romaine, and tomatoes. Entrees all were some kind of meat like beef and chicken. The macaroni and cheese even had meat so basically it was on everything, so this place hasn't caught up to some others around it. Good stuff for what we could eat. It wasn't much in this case but we liked it. The prices on many things are pretty good considering many places around here charge lots more than this.

    Great food and ambiance ! Love sitting outside here. I had the pork nachos and a burger ! Delicious. They gave weekly specials and the Mexican Mule did not disappoint.

    Another update because I'm a glutton for punishment: Thought I would recommend Digs to my brother and his family to introduce them to the Lemont area. Big mistake. They went with the chicken egg rolls to start. I should have read the other reviews prior. No chicken to be found in any of the 6 mini egg rolls. So disappointing for them to experience that for the money. It took FOREVER for the food to come. When it did, I was so bummed. Whomever ordered tator tots(myself and my nephew) had a connected grease blob on our plates. I tried one and it was nasty. When our waitress came by and inquired how everything was I told her the tots were not good and could I PLEASE SEND THEM BACK AND RECEIVE A SIDE SALAD FOR THE ORIGINAL UPCHARGE OF $1 WITH MY MEAL. I then received romaine lettuce end chunks with two cucumber pieces, four croutons, and some tomatoes in a small bowl. Enh, it's a side salad. The problem I encountered was when the check came. Apparently the waitress was confused when I told her to put my two children on my check and so she added my brother's meal and drinks. This was cleared up, but I can tell you what was not: a $7 charge for a sad "side salad.". Since I was inside clearing up the check the owner Jennifer was inside and overheard. She loudly informed me she was the owner and that the side salad was the correct price. She said once I ordered the tots I gave up the ability to get my $1 upsell for a side salad. Whattttt?!?! Is that truly how this business operates? I then informed her I was asked by the waitress how our food was and reiterated the convo I had. She said that's not how it should work, but whatever. She would "allow" me to get away with this. However, since they had to throw the tots away it was like she gave two sides away for $1. Wtf? She then proceeded to loudly berate me in front of existing customers as well as staff running her mouth about how this transaction wasn't accurate and patrons only have the ability to get the $1 upcharge when placing the original order. At this time I shut my mouth since I was getting what I wanted, but really? As an owner this is how you want patrons to perceive you? This after my brother dropped $131 on his bill. So unprofessional and unwarranted. I have met the original owners before, I am assuming those are Jennifer's parents. The mother is a RN like myself and we have had interesting conversations on past visits. They are kind and caring. Jennifer is not. Long story short, if you do choose to visit, just order drinks on the patio. Jennifer does not deserve any of your hard earned money with an attitude like hers. I'm embarrassed I took my brother and his family there. I won't even touch up on their terrible experience as my interaction with Jennifer was what made such a lasting impression.

Reuben: Would make Reuben cry it's so mouth watering delicious, piled thick and high with perfectly cooked juicy corned beef. The steak fries: OMG. All this gastronomic quality and comfort at a very reasonable price. The only thing missing was a glimpse of his ghostly lover--her. This place has figured out and maintained its knowledge, for many years thank goodness, that we don't need pretentious dishes with pretentious names but rather, ample, well prepared simple choices at reasonable prices and we'll come back again and again.

Well lit with a nice layout and atmosphere. I nice mural on the wall as well. My wife ordered the 2 pc white chicken and waffle. For some reason they consider a wing as white meat? Anyhow, you get a wing and a huge breast with a waffle. The chicken is fried and the batter has a nice taste to it. The breast was way over cooked and dry however. But overall it was good at a price of $8.99. I had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Its served on a regular hamburger bun and the chicken was extremely small. Most of the sandwich was the bun. It was good well and tasted delicious. It comes with a small amount of fries all for $10.99. This item is way over priced and not at all worth the cost. I would value this at $7-$8. Both of our orders were extremely fresh. Cooked to order. It took 30 minutes from order time to get the food which is too long. Neither of us will order these items again but we will return to try other menu items. And the key here is to call in and order ahead.

Hubby ordered the rib tips with fries, baked beans, and had the hot and mild barbecue sauce on the side. I ordered the 1/2 dark smoked chicken dinner with mac-n-cheese, spicy Cajun green beans, and spicy honey garlic barbecue sauce. I agree with Robert, that the sauce pairs very well with the chicken.
