'5 Stars, Amazing! What went well?' Is the AI programming reaction to my input of a 5 Star rating of our experience this afternoon. The not nearly often enough answer is 'everything went well'. At Hero's West in Lemont: - Ambience, designed to separate the bowling alley from the bar and grill so we didn't hear a pin fall. If you sit at the bar the stools and the well placed foot rail will keep you comfortable. A clean, modern space with high ceilings and a roll-up overhead door for when warmer weather eventually returns. - Food and Beverages. An usually large selection of ice cold beers on tap. The Saturday $10 Nachos with pulled pork special had the perfect thin crispy chips with a bit more of delicious toppings than two large hungry men could finish completely. - Service. Lina was our bartender. She did a perfectly excellent job for us from greeting to finish. Her supporting colleagues did the same. It was clear they all take pride in their roles and enjoy being there. read more

First of all this place is much bigger that it looks from the outside I was surprised but I was also shocked at how empty it was on a Friday night. We went to watch a band the service was very slow and we had to keep searching for our waiter anytime we needed anything. Our waiter also brought out drinks we hadn't ordered even though we said we didn't want to order anymore they took it back and didn't charge but should pay attention to the customer a little better next time. Their chicken nachos are my favorite though. read more

I'm a volunteer for a group that has had an event at heroes for the past 3 years. I wish I could give them 100 stars because they deserve it. The food is amazing but the staff is even more amazing. Even when they were at their busiest they had a smile on their faces. You guys are appreciated so much. Thank you for all of your hard work. read more

Heroes West in Lemont has poor management, staff members, and food. The food tastes like garbage, and also gives you an upset stomach. I do not recommend. They had a really bad fruit fly problem, and I found a few fruit flys in my food (3 Amigos) I noticed one of the bartenders vaping (THC) behind the bar, Alex. It was not discreet and stunk up the bar/dining room area. The employees are always sitting around in the server station, on their phones, while work needs to be done. I do not recommend this terribly ran establishment. read more

We attended a benefit here and the bartenders at one of the bars were less than friendly, which is a shame in the service industry. We came back again for a birthday event and had a blast. The staff seemed happier to be there than our first go. We bowled ( small bowling alley), played darts and shot some pool. The venue is decent sized and broken up into a restaurant area and what I'll call an entertainment area with bowling, pool tables, stage for band, darts, pop a shot, etc. The food we had was buffet style tacos and pizza all was delicious. My husband and I were very satisfied. read more

Bowling lanes are not well maintained. I'm not sure if they even use oil. Staff was nice

2nd time here and definitely my last. Place is massive only had 2 tables. Had more Waitress standing around talking. After we got our food no one came back to the table. I had to get up and ask for my check so did the other table. Also jumbo wings were tiny. Do yourself a favor go to lemon Tree instead WAY BETTER! read more

Great food and service. Bryan is the most awesome, cool, charismatic, charming, lovable guy around (he's the red head) read more

Went for lunch today. Ordered French onion soup, chicken wild rice soup and a side of onion rings for appetizers. My wife ordered a strawberry salad and I ordered a Rueben panini. Waited a very long time to get our food, that all came out at the same time at room temperature. Never received my appetizers with my entree's before. I had a view of the kitchen from my seat. It looked like the assistant that helped serve our food always had food in his mouth, while we were waiting for our food. The French onion was a bowl of onions with very little broth and the slice of cheese on top wasn't even melted through. The Reuben had the same amount of sauerkraut as corned beef. My wife enjoyed her salad. The onion rings weren't even hot. Not sure what they were waiting on to serve the food, but I can only assume it was the salad. Cold food, service and served everything at one time doesn't work. read more

Pretty bad. The food is borderline terrible. The server was pretty nice and apologized several times, but all the apologies in the world can't make up for bad food. There are soo many restaurants in town that are much better! read more

Possibly the worst, most rude service I've ever experienced. The restaurant was not crowded and our party of 8 placed an order for drinks, Apps & dinner. After 25 minutes we did not even get our waters. When one of the women in our party approached the manager asking "what's going on" the manager's reply was "feel free to leave". Surrounded by 5 employees also doing nothing. When questioning her reply her response was to call the police on us and continue to scream. Clearly not cut out to manage anyone. By far the most mis-managed establishment I've ever been in. read more

Heroes West - Birthday Party - Bars Near Me - Lemont, Illinois

After having lack of service and poor food.. I'm done giving my business to this place. Management didn't do anything about complaints, instead used more vulgar language than needed to defuse the situation. Unprofessional Highschool cafeteria led by people that could care less for those that are actually bringing it money. Unfortunate. Has absolute potential but lacks true management skill. read more

Here for a daytime event on a Saturday and Sunday. No table service,it's like they don't even care. Great venue but not very good service.

Good food. Good for kids. Lots of TVs and activities to spend time there. First time was with a large group and they took us in right away and overall service was good. read more

In need of managers. Entertainment was fine but way too long to get a drink and the check. read more

Drove past a few times since it opened figure I would check it out. The inside is nice good amount of TVs nice bar area and sitting area with tables and booths. Family friendly for sure. Sat down at the bar my usual go to bartender came up was nice grabbed drinks after a few minutes. The couple next to us asked about what an item was on the menu and the bartender did not know what it was and how to explain it to them. That was a red flag for us. You gotta know your menu and the couple ended up not getting it because the bartender couldn't sell it to them. I Ordered the Camacho nachos "large" size which was not large at all and honestly not worth $16.99. They were good but I could get better bigger nachos cheaper somewhere else. The southwest wrap $12.79 was good they put the sauce in the side which I didn't mind and the chips are a great side. They have other side options for upgrade for $2 or more. The staff were friendly and we would go back to give it another try. read more

Heroes has elevated bar food. I've always enjoyed the one in Joliet. My big concern is the prices on some of the items. A $7 Stella is $2 too high and $2.50 more than the place a couple doors down. That would definitely keep me from going there as my watering hole. Jumbo wing prices have me a little in shock but a good special on Wednesday. Regardless, they will do far better than Quarry did and this will be good for Lemont. read more

Not sure what's with the bad reviews but we came here today with our 4 year old, played arcade games, bowled, enjoyed some cocktails and a couple apps and entrees and everything including the service was great. The place is spacious, clean and updated. What more can you ask for? This is a gem in Lemont and deserves more patronage. Thanks everyone! Abby our server was too notch. Definitely will come again. read more

Great boneless wings and great service. Boneless wings are big and taste fresh. I would definitely be back to try what else they have to offer. read more

The only decent part of the night was bowling. The bar in the restaurant portion of the facility took 35 minutes to get a single drink. We had a group of 10 of us and it was embarrassing watching people line up single file to get drinks. There was 1 bartender for 2 hours we sat and watched until we had enough and got a table. The food then came out 1 couple at a time. The first couple split the prime rib dip and it got there 40 minutes before the last couple got their food. The food was terrible. Cooked wrong. I would not recommend this place to anyone I cared about or planned to show my face to again. read more

Food wasn't that good, service was terrible, prices were horrible.

TERRIBLE service! We waited for an hour for food, when the restaurant was EMPTY. This is the second time we have been treated like this. POC

Mac and cheese is really good. Really nice and fast service great food! Go to heroes!

We reserved a table for 6 for live entertainment over two months in advance, even called twice to check on our table. Show up for a nice birthday celebration and we're told they didn't have a table for us. We even called the day of the event and confirmed our table, even told we couldn't add two more to our party. Extremely disappointed and won't be back and recommend everyone stay away. Was much better when the Quarry. This place is the ANTI Hero! read more

I try to go here once a month on warrior wing Wednesday. For the last 5 months we have gone and every time we say never again.The wings are pretty good but the service is the absolute worst. There has only been one girl that has been there more than one time in a row and I think she is horrible and also the manager. Today I waited 10 minutes for a beer while the two girls behind the bar were talking and laughing amongst themselves. It's like this every time we go and I'm done moving forward. It's only a matter of time before the service here puts this place out of business. So many better places to eat and frequent in Lemont. So sad.!!!!! read more

Drink seemed watered down. Food was ok. Kind of pricey. Like the atmosphere. Went for trivia night and that was a lot of fun. Our waitress was friendly :) read more

Food was good. Hate that I have to pay to stay for a concert when I ordered food and liquor.

They really did a great job with this restaurant. It's huge, great place for parties or to bring a group. They had a singer when we were there on a Friday night which we enjoyed. The food was excellent and service good. We brought friends with and they loved it! read more

Tony and Kynlie are the best!!!! 100/10 recommend. Great bowling and great food. An amazing experience overall. read more

Went to this spot to watch my niece play music. The worst waitstaff I've encountered in my 54 years. read more

Always loved Hero's West's food. The wings are awesome especially on Wednesdays where they donate money to veterans and are 70 cents each.

Me & my guys come in to enjoy some 70 cent wings and it was a complete shit show. First, they were clueless on their wing deal. Second, their water tasted super sus. Thirdly, the waitress did not come back to our table to give us refills. Then when we thought things would get better when the wings came out, we were absolutely wrong. The chicken was uncooked and pink on the inside, cold wet and soggy chicken. Terrible staff. God awful. Joliet Heroes by a million. read more

Came for my mom's birthday, got on waitlist for bowling, got a couple pool tables and when went to ask about pool lanes the employee told me 9 minutes and we waited and waited and never got a lane. The employee seemed high and completely not knowing what he was doing. Very bad experience with that. The food menu was small. And the god was just okay. The only good thing about this place is the bartenders. Also sooo many little children running around everywhere. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Gave this place a chance twice before a review. Both times I came in around 2:20 pm after work and was the only customer in the entire place until 4-4:30. I waited sometimes 20 minutes to be acknowledged at the bar. Only communication being made was between bartender, and kitchen staff. I was like a ghost. Until changes are made their "1"customer will not be back read more

The food just didn't measure up to the Joliet location, and they were sold out of a handful of beers on tap.Tried getting the manager to get us a table to watch the band (as the banquet area had lots of tables/chairs just sitting there) . I believe the manager Kevin?Brian? Something like that walked past us about 5-6 times,so he was well aware of us and quite a few other people without a table (not acceptable considering I payed a cover charge.Don't charge a cover fee if you're not going to prepare the facility to accommodate the crowd). Sad really,considering how well the Joliet location always gets it right. read more

Cute place, but BON-EXISTENT service. Waitress was all over tables, couldn't get so much as the time of day from her. Was there for a very popular cover band.... never seen such a small crowd with them. After seeing zero service from this place, I can see why it was so empty. They'll go belly up soon! read more

On a Saturday evening, at 8:45 pm I tried to place a food order and was informed that there was no more food service for the rest of the night! I came to Heroes for a band performance and was planning on spending a considerable amount of time (and, apparently, money based on the outrageous prices on the menu. Yes...I was given a menu...luckily had an opportunity to order an appetizer, but was never informed that I would not be able to order anything else. And all of this after waiting half an hour to even be acknowledged let alone served! This was my first time at Heroes Lemont and needless to say, I will not be returning. read more

Came to see the jazz band. The band was amazing. Too bad the service was nonexistent. After sitting here for 45 minutes, I finally asked a waitress who our server was. She said she didn't know. I told her we wanted to order and she said they were no longer taking orders. I then asked if we could get some water. She very rudely told me we would have to wait. I waited another 20 minutes and finally went to the bar and got a pitcher of water. This isn't the first time we have had crappy service here and if it wasn't for the band, I would never come back. So go to enjoy the great music, but don't plan on any food or drink service! read more

The bartenders here are the worst I've come by in a long time. They ignore you at the bar. Getting a drink is a 10-15 minute adventure. Tonight there were 3 people trying to figure out how to make a drink, meanwhile ignoring cash paying customers at the bar. I noticed a number of people leave and I can't blame them after waiting for no service. read more
