A lot of room for groups. There's a surprising amount of space. Basic menu items to get. It's got better drinks than food to be honest. There's actually some pretty thoughtfully made up cocktails especially for seasons. Also lots of the beers. The cocktails include the classics and modern stuff. A lot of beers on tap along with more in bottles and cans. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail like whiskey and whatever. As for the food it's mostly meaty. They even have the salads topped with bacon so it's not good for plant based people. It's about $11 to get the Beer Nuggets. These are pizza dough rolls fried and served with marinara sauce. Actually it was better than expected. The menu also includes plenty of meaty choices if you like things like fish and pork. For sure it's one of the most popular restaurants in the area. It's located on State Street at Prairie. There's plenty of TVs for watching games or whatever.

My friend, partner and I ended up going here because the restaurant we started with was closed…read more When we arrived my expectations were high but I shouldn't have gone in with any. There were only two people working the bartender and a waitress. We waited like 5 minutes of not longer to get a greeting . It took like 5 more minutes to get seated. We grabbed menus to get an idea of what we might want to eat. I went into the restaurant part looking for an employee. She was wiping down empty tables saw me but never acknowledged my presence. The bartender saw us standing waiting to be seated and also didn't acknowledge us. I didn't understand why it took so long to get seated there were only 3 people at a table and the rest of the restaurant was empty. There were a few people at the bar. When we finally got seated the waitress asked if the table was dirty we said yes but she didn't wipe it or anything. She was saying that she had like 35 boys come in to eat and messed up the whole other side of the restaurant. She got us our drinks and then asked if we were ready to order. We said Please give us a few minutes to decide. When she took our order she was nice. When we got our food my friend ordered the Niko burger the bacon was rubbery and not even half cooked. She poured A1 sauce on the side and it was very watery it wasn't thick like normal A1 sauce should be. My partner ordered chicken fingers the meat inside was good and had the crisp on the outside, I ordered an Italian beef sandwich it was good but only had meat on half the sandwich and didn't melt in your mouth. I was only given a very small 2 tablespoons side of au jus. The waitress got us our refills but wasn't attentive like I would expect considering we were the only people in the restaurant. Is it a place I would go back to? Probably not. I was disappointed considering it was downtown Marengo. The ambience was wilderness and forest themed the restaurant was clean but the women's bathroom was not.

Could be a little more engaging and friendly. Typical for this kind of place. I believe they also host karaoke, but don't have the details. Might come back some time for some food and update my review.

I look forward to going again when the changes are done too. I met Joe, the owner or manager and Karyssa, who was a bartender, and server and supervisor, I think. They were both very nice. They have events, such as karaoke and BINGO, I think too, but I only went at lunchtime today, so didn't see these events.

We had the flatbread the night before at Foxy's and whoever brought it by was really sweet, so we assumed the following day we would get the same service. Heck no. Anyway, will say the food was good. But due to the ambiance and service, will not be returning. I mean I could just go get the same food somewhere else, with better service and actual good cocktails.

It reminded me of the family style places we would go as kids with the folks for a big night out. When we walked in the place was comfortably full with many large parties and couples seated around the restaurant. Pretty impressive for a Wednesday early evening. Even the bar had a nice crowd. Outside there is a very nice sized patio for dining right on the Fox River. We sat at a nice large table next to a window looking over the Fox River. They start you off with a basket of fresh buttered popcorn. A nice start. I really don't think there is a bad table in the house the way they have it set up. The ambiance is excellent, homey, warm, and welcoming. I can see this place being a total holiday scene. The menu has all the traditional American fare and a page dedicated to authentic Greek fare. Cuisine only true Greek restaurant would serve. They also had an excellent separate Octoberfest menu with all the traditional German fare. A great choice for a chilly fall evening. Several parties had pizza on the table which honestly looked excellent. I imagine it's a bit a a neighborhood spot for the kids too. Our server Lily knew her stuff, and seamlessly guided us through our ordering. She explained all the items we asked about and seemed to really enjoy being there. Lily knew it was a Greek owned restaurant which for me is a huge UPS! I'm not Greek but having been in the industry myself for some years I know the quality and high expectations of any Greek owned restaurant. We started with a bowl of French Onion soup and Cream of Chicken soup. Both truly excellent and the real deal. Two Iced teas that came in what seemed to be some cool repurposed jelly jars. Excellent touch in the comfy factor. We split and Octoberfest meal of german sausage combo with red cabbage and sour kraut and potato pancakes. It was a great choice and a truly authentic plate of three different sausages all cooked to perfection. Complete with sour cream and applesauce. All in all an excellent meal with an excellent server Lily. I will most definitely be back in the next few weeks. It's totally worth the drive from Chicago.
