    "Nachos"
    Tess G.

    We had a super disappointing experience here. We got the nachos and boneless wings. The nachos hardly had any toppings on them, it's a disgrace to even call them nachos. 90% of the chips had nothing on them and they gave us a big side of sour cream as if that would make up for the lack of other toppings. Oh, by the way, it took 40 minutes for them to bring these out....service was very slow. We also got the boneless wings and they were half breading, we honestly couldn't tell if there was any chicken in there. Would not recommend. This food was awful.

    I like the ambiance and that it's dog friendly! We came for brunch and loved the fact they had someone playing a guitar. Instantly makes it more fun. Service was good. We were seated immediately and asked often if we had what we needed / wanted. In terms of food....I had the Italian sub and was kinda basic. I think because I had a sub at a local deli recently I was expecting more so perhaps that's on me. Maybe don't order a sub unless you're at a true deli haha. My nephew got the Mac and cheese....which I would go back and get and order as an app for the whole table haha. We all kept wanting to eat it. And it's a really large portion. We also ordered the pizza. I didn't try it but those that ordered it gobbled it down. We also got the mozzarella sticks and ravioli as an app and both were good. Oh and I had a spicy bloody Mary which was fine. My sister's bf ordered the Corona with tequila and grenadine. Never heard of that before but was so good! Highly recommend. Overall I would go back!

    Avocado toast

    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.

    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.

    Vegan options was a plain pizza with just vegan ricotta on it…read more the vegan ricotta was VERY sweet, like sugary. like a cake lol. I don't know how. I just eat and review it. For the $20+ pizza I wouldn't recommend. Glad they have options tho for everyone. I remember my boyfriend pizza(cheese/meat normal ) being a little on the burnt side, but it's wood-fire can't complain too much. Service- was ok I only picked up to go so I can't say. Ambiance- was super busy and packed but we did pick up so not a problem.

    I wanted to love this place so much. It's tucked in a cute downtown area of Lemont and has all the…read morepotential to be one of my new favorite places. It's 4:30pm and when I walk in, it's not busy, and I'm asked if I have a reservation. I get it. You're cool and want me to notice. I'm seated in the corner next to a door that I'm assured won't be used while I'm here. (Spoiler alert - it was, in fact, used by patrons and staff alike.) But the menu looks amazing. We start with the toasted focaccia and whipped ricotta with honeycomb. It's good. Not the best I've ever had, but solid. The wood fired pizza is also good, but, again, not great. But solid. We decided not to linger and get drinks or dessert because the restaurant was filling up and it got loud fast. Really loud. Like, I need my check right now loud. Four stars because it was almost great, and I want to go back and try more of the things.
