    Burnt chicken and fake potatoes
    Veronica M.

    Highly upset this food took two hours to cook and it comes out looking like this !!!!!!!!!! INSTANT MASHED POTATOES WHAT A JOKE !!! Super salty chicken .. one little packet of honey ,when the menu says honey dipped chicken .. the place is dry with the owner MARY breathing down everyone's backs ... and always sitting there sucking down bottles of wine , she is very ignorant and rude !!!!! Not to mention ,I went for bingo and couldn't hear the callers because her and what looked like her friends were Being really loud as if they were the only ones there . I don't think that was right . And if I could put no stars I would !!!! Will never go back there again !!!!

    Buffalo bbq chicken wings
    Jessica S.

    Came here for the first time with my husband today because we were in the neighborhood and we saw Dunkleys had great reviews, so we were excited to try; however, it was just okay in my opinion. Upon walking in, we liked the vibe. It's a smaller, brightly lit bar with 15+ tables and a long bar. I really loved the fireplace! When it came to service, we had a great waitress! Sadly, I don't remember her name, but she was nice, young, and great at her job. Very personable and always made sure we were good with drinks. I ordered a Blue Moon ($6 for a pint), and we ordered the chicken wings for our starter. On Sundays, they're $0.89 per wing, so we only paid about $6 for them. The wings were pretty good, but the chicken itself was a bit dry. I'm not sure if the cook thought this too because they were drowned in the sauce. The sauce was pretty good, at least, and we got the buffalo bbq. For my dinner, I ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes as my side instead of the French fries it comes with (sandwich was $14 with a $2 upcharge for the mashed potatoes). I was so excited to try the sandwich, but I was beyond underwhelmed when I received my sandwich. I have never seen a thinner piece of chicken on a sandwich in my life... Please check out the picture I posted! I could barely taste the chicken, nor did it taste like Nashville chicken spices. All I tasted was the coleslaw that was stacked on top. This was even more disappointing because the restaurant advertises the chicken sandwich on their FB page and in restaurant as a rotating pic on one of their screens, and it looks so good and huge in the advertisement. I ended up eating half of my sandwich, but the mashed potatoes were great and creamy. My husband ordered the Dunkley burger ($15), which was 2 4oz Angus patties with applewood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and onion rings strings. His looked so good and he really enjoyed his. Guess I should have gotten a burger instead. Overall, I probably won't come back here. They do have good daily/weekly specials, and they apparently have bands who play here on certain weekends, but nothing about my experience for dinner made me feel the need to run back here anytime soon.

    A Guiness Proper Pour!
    Ron S.

    We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a pint and lunch. It was our first visit to Dunkley's. Overall we are very satisfied with the food and felt very welcomed by bartender Suhei. I had the Spicy Crispy Chicken sandwich and it was delicious. My dining partner had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and loved it. Both sandwiches came with a mound of fries. I particularly appreciate Suhei's ability to pour a "proper" pint of Guiness (20oz). She was patient and poured it the way Guiness is meant to be poured; with patience. Too many taverns that have draft Guiness do an awful job dispensing a pint. Suhei knows her stuff! For 3 pints and two sandwiches, the bill was just shy of $55. I think that's good value for what we had. We will definitely be back!

    St Patty's menu
    Dinah T.

    This was our 2nd time here. Last year we came here for St Patrick's Day dinner and again this year! I checked their online menu they were serving food related for lent for those practicing Catholic no beef/meat on Fridays. I called them and they did service Irish pub dishes! I ordered their corned beef meal that came with two sliced potatoes, carrots and cabbage. Vegetables were a bit over cooked but I did enjoy how soft and juicy the corned beef slices were. The carrots and cabbage were naturally sweet. Comfort food indeed, I would get this again! Bubba got the Ruben sandwich with fresh cut fries. The Ruben was well stacked with corned beef slices sauerkraut and thousand island. The Rye bread was nice and soft. It also came with slices of pickles. He would get this again. The wait staff was nice she actually remember us last year lol! The place is cute not too big when you enter the long bar is right there and they have a bunch of high table top w/chairs and regular tables. Flat screen TVs across the bar and the wall. The live band was at the back near the fireplace. They also have a well lit outdoor patio with fire pits. It a cute local bar I would come back here again as I see some tasty burgers on the menu! 2022- We were looking for a place to go for St. Patrick's Day and this came up on my Yelp feed! So blarney let's go! It's a long a strip mall in Edison not too far from where we live. They had plenty of parking. They also have outdoor dining as well as indoor dining. They have regular tables and table tops and a long bar where you can sit as well. It look like they also have outdoor seating and a fireplace with heating lamps as well. We got seated at a high top table and there was also have live music a guy and girl singing and playing the guitar. We tried their signature drinks were good. Their potato soup was thick and hearty. Overall a good local bar to check out!

    Wow. Stopped here while on the road. Clean, inviting, amazing food & drinks, and a great staff. Shout out to Patty and her hospitality. Check out Dunkley's if you like food that's made to order and a great time.

    Fireplace. Very nice on cold day.

    Happy New Year 2026! My first review of this year. Cheers!…read more Church Street is a spacious, but intimate feeling brewery with a relaxed vibe, tucked away in an Industrial area of Itasca. The on-site parking lot is quite small, but other business lots and street parking is available nearby, especially during events. I tried a sample of their light pilsner and purchased a 12 ounce prickly pear sour. It had a unique flavor to it and wasn't too tart or sour, as I find some to be. I would like to return and try the cranberry sour and German, dry pilsner. Perhaps after "Dry January!" (Hello Mocktails). I did not order any food but I do plan to return and would like to try some of their menu items. I enjoyed sitting at the bar with others and our server was delightful. I have also had their wheat beers which are tasty. Inside the brewery there is a cozy feel and the singing cook in the kitchen was fun to listen to, as he had a nice voice. Check out their fun fan merch for sale too. Happy "Brew Year" all!

    I have been here a handful of times. I could have sworn I have written a review, but here we are!…read more Located in an industrial area, they have a decent amount of parking. Since my earlier visits to this establishment, they now have food available for purchase. (I didn't try, but decent size menu). I also remember they having a heavy lager and ipa selection. (Ipas are great!). Now, they also offer a handful of sours too! I find it funny they call their hard seltzers holy water. They also offer hard lemonade and hard ice tea. Props for the variety! Friendly service, check em out!

It's a good burger. Nothing remarkable, but it did the trick. The fries were good. Avoid the pretzel bites. $13.99 for burned and flavorless chunks. A total disaster. Similarly, skip the Pit Stop Potatoes ($13.99). The potatoes have no seasoning and the melted cheese immediately falls off when you touch it with a fork. Just a greasy mistake. I may give 93 Octane another shot, but I'd need a lunch special or something to bring the price more in line with the quality.

    Afterthought focuses on "old world beers," which means more open fermentation brews like farmhouse…read moreales, saisons, and wilds. And, they do it very well. Their beer has that tang you'd expect from a sour ale without the molar-wrenching pain that makes drinking more than a few ounces difficult. They nail the flavor and it's always clean and smooth. Some of the best wild ales made. Their taproom is small, but really nice inside with seating at the bar and around the taproom that is more geared towards small parties. They have their full menu on draft and bottled bears available with a few guest beers. I think it's Sunday that they have discounts on their bottled beers and it's a great opportunity to take advantage of!

    This review is based on many components…read more 1. Building itself. Maybe I have been watching too much bar rescue. From the outside the building doesn't have an inviting feel. If I didn't know better, I would have driven right through the parking lot and away. 2. They are known for saison and farm style beer. It pretty much tastes like wine. If this is not your style, then you will likely not enjoy it. My boyfriend was one of those people. I however enjoyed 4 out of the 6 we tried. 3. Price. For my flight with tip I paid about $25. 4. Staff we encountered was great. 5. Hours. I looked them up in the past but could never tell if they were open or not. Give them a try if you are in downtown Lombard and they are open!
