    Cheesesteak
    Francis R.

    I've had catered food from Grill 89 in the past and it's always been solid. The visit to the restaurant itself did not disappoint. Nice neighborhood feeling restaurant with a full sport bar up front and spacious booth seating areas toward the back. Overall very clean feeling. Service was attentive. Initially brought out the wrong beer, but he immediately corrected when I had mentioned the error. Food wise the kiddos shared the sliders and fries, no complaints. 89 burger was yummy. Cheesesteak also yummy. Good quality food, service was great, and no complaints. 'Til next time, cheers!

    We came in right after an 8th grade graduation ceremony, we actually had scheduled our reservation for a later time but when we got out early, we were concerned that we wouldn't be able to change our reservation time but the hostess was very accommodating and sat us right away. Our server Danny was on top of everything, he was patient and very attentive - thank you, Danny b/c at times it was not easy for me either! The food was great! Out of the 9 of us - no complaints! I had the the filet w/asparagus and mashed potatoes and my steak was cooked perfectly! It wasn't very busy which was very nice but it was a Wednesday so I can see it being crowded on the weekends, I like how they had a bar but had a somewhat separate dining area that seemed more family friendly. I would love to come back if I'm in the area but regardless, if you're near by - stop in!

    Mmmm...deviled eggs

    My husband and I stopped for a late lunch/early dinner at Grill 89 it's been several years since we've been at this restaurant. We sat at the bar, which has become a habit when it's just the two of us. More often than not, we get into a conversation with the bartender. Today was no exception. Michael took great care of us, was friendly and engaging. We shared an order of the deviled eggs. It was whipped egg yolks with bacon on top of slices of avocado laying on a bed of shredded egg whites with radishes and tomatoes. The deviled eggs were yummy, but I preferred the old way they used to make them without the avocado. I had a tuna poke bowl that was so fresh - a generous amount of tuna with edamame, radishes, carrots, avocado and cilantro on brown rice. It was fabulous! My hubby loves the pot roast nachos at Grill 89. Huge portion. This restaurant is in Mike Ditka's group of restaurants and they're known for these nachos, sinfully good! FYI Ditka's football number was 89, thus Grill 89. Definitely recommend. It's never disappointed me over the years.

    Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich

    We had a nice brunch with family at Grill 89. Pleasant atmosphere, great, friendly service, tasty food. This is a great casual spot that I would expect is very reliable. Our family members said they go there often and always enjoy it. We tried: Ditka Bloody Mary (served with a chaser) - a nice Bloody Fish Tacos - nicely cooked, good Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich - very good, huge portion, good fries We had a wide range of ages including children and everyone enjoyed their visit. Our servers were all so nice and came around often! This is a great neighborhood spot for casual dining.

    Solid American fare just nothing special and the food doesn't travel very well probably my own fault and the online ordering is a disaster.

    Not sure this place is all that friendly to disabled folks. There seemed to be a single table that was a "regular" table, seating folks at the standard level, but it was a table for ten. Almost every other table in the rest was a high top or booth seating where you need to step up to get into the booth (none of the booths were at "floor level"). There were maybe half a dozen tables that were typical table height and maybe four-tops, which I didn't see until I was leaving the restaurant. They aren't disabled-friendly given the types of seating they have and the fact that someone who came in with clear difficulty walking came in but they made him go to one of the furthest sections in the restaurant without asking if it would be easier or better to be seated elsewhere. And something I newly have to concern myself with, which is whether I can get a stroller in/have space for my daughter, who at two weeks is not going to be eating from the menu. I guess they have a mood they're trying to project, even at lunchtime, because it was so dark I struggled to see the menu. Not super happy when there server decided to move my very expensive stroller away from the table without asking or being asked to do so. Keeping your hands off people's things is a generally great rule of thumb under which to operate. And I get that servers are assigned sections and people are placed in servers' sections... but in a restaurant that had maybe five tables in use by diners, they really had to put someone in the booth directly behind us? We ordered the southern corn muffins which never came. Oh well; I'm sure I didn't need the additional food. The prices were pretty surprisingly high. I eyed the corned beef sandwich for my meal, but it was $22. They also had some "specials" because it was Tuesday like enchiladas, tacos, etc., but they definitely weren't special prices and again was overpriced. I ended up ordering their burger. I'm not sure why, but it didn't taste good. I don't know if it was me or them but it was just off for me. I checked the burger twice to see if it was cooked properly and it looked like it was comes to the temperature I'd ordered. I don't think it was bad or anything, but it wasn't enjoyable. It was a pretty disappointing meal and experience in pretty much every aspect. But you never know until you try, I guess. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant and I won't return.

    Are there tv's on the patio?

    No, there are no TVs on the patio. But; the patio is adjacent to the restaurant inside, and depending on where you sit on the patio, you can often see the TVs that are inside.

Everything we ordered came out cooked to perfection, and every dish had such unique, incredible flavors. You can really tell how much care goes into the food. We especially love coming for happy hour -- the half-off appetizers are such a great deal and never disappoint. Our waiter was so sweet and made the night extra special by letting my husband pick one dessert for free, which was such a thoughtful touch. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, everything was flawless. We can't wait to come back!

    After a long final day of a conference in the Chicago suburbs, I really did not feel like dealing…read morewith traffic or going out to dine solo, so tonight called for delivery. I ordered from Entourage Downers Grove and was honestly impressed with how well everything held up for delivery. The standout for me was the lobster bisque. It arrived at the perfect temperature, which is pretty impressive for delivery. The bisque was rich and luscious without feeling overly heavy, and the basil oil added a nice brightness that balanced the creaminess beautifully. It also had a generous amount of lobster, including several large chunks, and was a very solid portion overall. The filet mignon sliders were another highlight. Each slider had a substantial piece of filet mignon topped with pickled onions, microgreens, and horseradish cream on brioche buns. The onions and horseradish added enough acidity and bite to balance the richness of the beef without overpowering it. I also tried the Vietnamese summer rolls, filled with roasted shiitake mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and rice noodles, served with both peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce. Everything tasted very fresh, and the sauces complemented the generously stuffed rolls nicely. My only small critique is that cutting them in half made for a prettier presentation, but made them a little awkward to dip and eat. Overall, this was a surprisingly strong delivery experience, and I would absolutely order from them again, or better yet, make it over to the restaurant itself next time I'm in the area.

Very refreshing and you could definitely taste the alcohol. I then tried the mango one which was also good but the cucumber one was better. I was bummed to not see cochinita pibil on their menu as I could've sworn I had seen it on another Yelp review. I ended up ordering two tinga tacos with rice and beans. The tacos were good but the rice and beans were just meh. The rice was bland and the beans tasted like frito lay bean dip. Their chips were freshly made which make them taste that much better. Their guacamole and salsa were both super yummy! I recommend both! The ambiance was there especially once the dj showed up and started playing all the jams. I look forward to going back and possibly try something different from their menu. Overall, I recommend trying this place out!
