The Millburn Barn is a great location for a wedding all under one roof. However, to experience…read moreprofessionalism, respect, and integrity, I would look elsewhere. I have organized eighteen large-scale events at other venues and have never had to deal with the lack of hospitality by an owner like I did at this place. While our families put together a beautiful and memorable event, it was not without a ridiculous amount of stress from the unaccommodating owners. The zero-tolerance policy of outside alcohol was handwritten like a note on the contract after it was already signed. The conversation about outside alcohol was casual and a story about a previous wedding where a keg was brought into the Groom's suite. Had we been told that their liquor license was in jeopardy instead of being disrespectfully yelled at, we could have resolved the issue professionally. The fact that the owners rummaged through personal items, confiscated gifts without our knowledge, constantly monitored every move via the surveillance cameras (there is no sign anywhere that you are being watched/recorded), spoke to us in a very rude manner, basically called us liars several times, and much more, made me regret the decision to have the wedding at the barn. What owner would say to the bride, "I bet you can't wait till this is over"? Or roll his eyes and say, "oh, god" at the decor we were bringing in? I am disgusted that the surveillance camera in the Groom's suite watched their every move. I wonder if the barn follows the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. I question the adequate exit access and compliant fire alarm system. I also question their compliance with the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (no designated accessible parking spaces). These are all serious matters that deserve attention. If you prioritize hospitality and integrity in your event planning, look for an alternative venue.

As a Detroiter and lifelong native of Hockeytown, I've grown up around great hockey bars - and I…read morecan confidently say this is the hockey bar to be at in Chicago. My experience started at 7am on a chilly February Sunday watching Team USA bring home gold over Canada. Hell of a time - scene was electric. Throughout my 7 hour visit, I got to know the owner (great guy) and some solid all around people. The Barn is in a prime location right by the United Center, offers quality service, strong drinks, and good food across the board (great pies and tendies). They've also got a VIP area I recommend if you're rolling with a larger group or want to elevate your client entertainment. Hell, even the restrooms were dialed in (which says a lot for a hockey bar). Also pro tip, if you see a cherry picker parked outside The Barn, do yourself a favor and ask the operator for a ride up to cheer on your home team and fire up the fans. #IgniteManagement

First time I had these fries they were amazing! Super fresh and just awesome. Today I go in to…read moreorder the same Putine Fries at opening at they gave me the oldest meat I've seen. I live a good 20mins from this place to it took me 40mins in travel time. I tried calling but the number literally goes to message" welcome to Verizon wireless your call can not be completed"?!? Like what? I truly don't like writing bad reviews when I've had great food but this is beyond me. I can't complain to rectify the issue which is unacceptable so here I am. Refund, a new order, or a credit for the next time I come would be nice. I'm not going to fully scratch them off my faves list but this is a very bad experience in a long time. Gas pricing and food cost in this economy and I receive this food & that type of customer service. I refuse to accept or turn the cheek on cutting corners like this. We as patrons deserve better when hard money is paid. I was literally one of the first, if not the only of the afternoon, and I receive yesterday's pork? Absolutely not. I came in around 1:30ish. That's beyond disgusting. They gave me fresh fries & curds to throw on last nights meat. What's insane is that it comes with gravy & bbq. I opted out of it bc I don't like sauces as much. So imagine being a new customer getting old meat drenched in sauce to cover it. Very much a health hazard. I was literally going to share this with my kids! 0 out of 10. Just bc my kids would've eaten this if I didn't opt out of the sauce! Secondly look at how small amount of meat I received? A joke.

They graciously accommodated our large group in a quieter space where we could actually talk and enjoy each other's company up and down the table -- something that made the evening feel even more special. The food was incredible, as always, and the wine recommendation paired with our meal was so good it deserves its own review. But the real highlight of the night was our waiter, Mario. He made the entire evening genuinely feel like a celebration. His recommendations never missed, he was warm and engaging throughout the meal, and he somehow even managed to get our tired, aloof teenagers laughing and opening up by the end of dinner. That kind of hospitality is rare and deserves recognition.

The cuisine is modern and playful and focuses on local ingredients. I was intrigued by, but did not order, the Something from Land or Air or Something from Water, which I take to mean the chef prepares something fresh, local and what is tastiest for the season. We shared the Warm Hand Made Bread Service (creme fraiche goats butter, roasted pecan hummus and matcha sesame butter) and Crispy Mushrooms (dusted with matcha, sesame togarashi black garlic aioli) from the Small or Snacky section. I had the Inovasi burger (1/3 lb CDK Farms beef) and my companions had the Grilled Ocean Raised Salmon. My burger had a good flavor but they cooked it well done instead of medium. Fries were good. Friends enjoyed their salmon.

We ordered the Margherita pan pizza and the thin mac and cheese bacon pizza. The Margherita was my favorite. I thought I had ordered it thin crust, but it came as pan instead. The crust was a bit thick, but honestly one slice was very filling. For two people, it felt like a lot of bread -- but the toppings were really good and everything tasted fresh. You could tell the ingredients were high quality. The mac and cheese bacon pizza was good too, but you definitely have to like both mac and cheese and bacon to fully enjoy it. I personally liked it better without the bacon, but it's still a must-try if you're into unique pizza combinations. Overall, solid first takeout experience and I'd definitely order again.

The presence of the house seemed intriguing. It had a welcoming presence it. A few months later, my mother was researching Underground Railroad sites in Illinois and we found out that the Mother Rudd House in Gurnee, Illinois was one of the sites. We decided to go to this historical site, which was amazing and full of history in the Lake County Illinois area. The Mother Rudd house was a place that housed travelers in the 19th century, was a place where community events were held, and was a safe haven for slaves who were seeking freedom. Mother Rudd was a mother of 13 children, yet still was able to care for others, including people in her community. The house was amazing with great artifacts and memories that go back two centuries. The hosts were friendly and gave a lot of information about what the Mother Rudd house was used for, and what the Gurnee community was like long ago.Several families donated artifacts from their family history to help one understand legacies of Lake County history. It was great to see others interested in history and restoring historical landmarks. I would encourage young and and old to visit this house and take a stroll down memory lane. It's best to call and schedule an appointment ahead of time.
