The smash burgers are as good as they sound from the menu, and the fries are amazing too, I'm usually not a fan of the coated fries but however they make them here they do it right. Their homemade cucumber side dish is great too. Very nice alcoholic drink selection, soda wise they do have Pepsi but don't let that influence you, the place is a really great one to stop at. Parking was plentiful but it was a little odd trying to find the place, I'm guessing mid summer it's tough to get a table so be prepared. Michelle at the bar is fantastic too! We will definitely be back for that smash burger and to try more of the menu.

This was our first time checking out this place. We were seated right away outside, which was…read moreperfect since the weather was great. Our drink orders were taken promptly, followed by our appetizers. For starters, we had the pretzel bites and cheese curds. The cheese curds were delicious -- and served in cube form, which was a fun and unique touch. The pretzel bites were decent, though a bit dry in some spots; thankfully, the cheese sauce helped. We also tried the popcorn, which was just okay -- some pieces tasted a little stale. As for the main dishes, everything we tried was pretty good! We ordered the Boom Boom Shrimp Tacos, the Avocado Wrap, the Chicken Caprese Sandwich, and the Pesto Grilled Cheese. Each dish was flavorful, and I especially enjoyed the orzo and the combination of flavors with the Boom Boom Shrimp -- it all worked really well together. Overall, it was a solid first visit and I'd come back to try more!

This is my first ever fish fry....and first in the Midwest . My girl got the fish fry with bottomless fish.... french fries & coleslaw came with the fish fry, the french fries were like perfectly fried and the coleslaw was on point, unlike most Midwest restaurants that serve mayonnaise and sugar along with a tiny bit of cabbage, this one was awesome. Luckily I had the tiniest bit of self-control and only had 4-5 pieces of fried fish....anyway, it was five stars no question..... makes me wish Friday fish fry was every day. I forgot how my dish was prepared, but it was the crispy Seabass and it was absolutely amazing, also five stars. A little out of character for most of the other patrons, but we got side salads that tasted amazing as well. With my Seabass came mushroom risotto that was just as good as any five star Italian restaurant I've had.. We also got an appetizer that was like beef and shrimp in some kind of Cajun sauce with bread to dip... The food was five stars absolutely amazing I would recommend this is the place to go for a fish fry. They also had Hamms beer on tap for two dollars and somehow it just tasted better than I could've possibly thought. The service was absolutely amazing as well, everybody was kind, friendly and kind of excited to show an out-of-town how the Midwest gets down with fish fry. On top of the awesome food and incredible service the view on the patio was over nice body of water very beautiful. For my first ever fish fry I think it's set the bar really high. I highly recommend others to check this place out. Not that I'm opposed to giving five stars elsewhere, but it's been a while and this place really earned it. Thanks Kraby J's!!!!!! Great food, great drinks & great people!! (I actually thought the restaurant was in Wisconsin, but it is in Illinois)

It is an attractive space with lots of varnished wood. We were here late morning and there was a decent crowed. I had a stack of pancakes and my wife had a Scrambler. My pancakes were very good, and her Scrambler was great. I love the smashed potatoes at the bottom of the bowl. Prices are reasonable and service is very friendly. The patrons are all very nice. I bumped into a buddy there, and some woman gave my wife a homemade cookie that was delicious! Can't wait for our next visit!
