Went there for lunch on Saturday. My wife ordered fish and chips and I ordered a half slab. I knew…read moreordering ribs for lunch on Saturday meant I would probably get left overs from Friday, so this is my fault in a way. The ribs were extra dry, very small, overcooked and tasteless. My wife's fish was actually pretty good. Two nice size filets. Thankfully I was able to eat one if them or I would've left hungry. The dudes were all good. Cole slaw was decent. A little too mayonnaise for my taste so I added some malt vinegar to help them out. But the waffle fries and mashed potatoes were good. Server was pretty good as well.

First off our server (Emily R) was excellent!…read more Restaurant was pretty empty and quiet for a sports bar and maybe because it was a Wednesday night. The food was interesting..... The main food was BLAND. But the sides were flavorful - here's why I think that is I ordered Chicken tenders. Which was hand breaded and came with ranch, honey mustard, coleslaw, and a choice of wing sauce. The chicken tenders - (hand breaded and flavorless), the jar sauces and jarred coleslaw and frozen waffle fries - FLAVORFUL. My husband ordered Chicken BLT sandwich - grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, bacon, Mayo, on sourdough bread - NO FLAVOR - he had to steal my honey mustard to make his sandwich palatable. Skip this restaurant and find another Also I was so put off by the kids in the parking lot that as soon as I pulled into a parking space ran up to my door and tried to sell me a candy bar - I couldn't even open my door without hitting them - they were polite and left when I said "no thank you" but I thought it was weird - also not the restaurant's fault - but just weird - maybe common here - but I'm from out of town so I was a little surprised.

I have driven by this place many times wanting to try it! Finally, my boyfriend and I stopped by…read more Initially, I was a bit confused because I wasn't sure if we were supposed to seat ourself or not. We waited, then sat ourselves, and we were greeted quickly. We decided to order the 12 hot wings as an appetizer. They were not really hot, more like a mild to me. When the platter came out, we noticed we had 18 instead of 12. We mentioned this to the server, and she did not charge us extra since it was their mistake. Let me just say, these wings were huge!! They were good, but we definitely had leftovers (especially since we got 18!!). For our entree, we both got one of their burgers with Cajun fries. Everything was very good, and I'd come again! One thing I particularly liked was the prices! $10-12 for a burger... can't find that anywhere else other than fast food these days!

Went to Backroads Burger & Bar last Monday night and really enjoyed the patio seating (the inside…read moreis soo dark). We were pleasantly surprised to find out apps were 25% off- which meant we had to try the pretzel. I think it may have been the biggest pretzel I've ever seen in my life. The outside was a melt-in-your-mouth fried texture with the inside being soft and doughy in the best way. Paired with any of the 3 dips, it made for the most delicious appetizer that essentially filled up our entire table itself. Special shoutout to the arse sauce & their honey mustard- sooo good. The table also tried the buffalo chicken wrap (YUM), caprese sandwich (good!), and penne alla vodka (somewhat mid but better as leftovers). Sweet potato tots were the perfect side. This was my third time here and they honestly never disappoint. Service & food always hit. My go to spot when visiting Plainfield!

The 3 young hostesses at the door were talking about where to seat us but then asked us, and here's where it goes wrong, can we be done within an hour? They claimed to have reservations at 5pm. You blow away a sure thing now for an unknown later. So if I wanted to be seated, served and done within an hour we would've went to McDonald's. Has anyone been, at a restaurant establishment been seated, served and finished in an hour. Back Roads management, ownership, you need to train your hostesses a little better. We will NEVER set foot in that place.again. Why do we need to be rushed while dining out?

Very disappointing experience overall. The burgers were overcooked, and the garlic parmesan fries…read morewere soggy and lacked any crispness. After our food was served, our server never came back to check on us or offer drink refills. The biggest issue, however, was the reason we chose this place in the first place. When we arrived, we specifically asked where the White Sox game would be shown and requested seating near a TV showing it. We were told the game would be on throughout the restaurant, so we decided to stay. Not long after, every TV was switched over to the Mexico-Korea World Cup match. Had we been informed ahead of time that the White Sox game would not remain on, we would have gone elsewhere. Throughout the evening, staff repeatedly told us they were trying to get at least one TV switched back to the White Sox game, but it never happened. The restaurant promotes itself as a place to watch Chicago sports, but that certainly wasn't our experience. Better communication and follow-through would have gone a long way.

933 Speakeasy is located inside Embers in Downtown Lockport. I loved that getting to the bar was…read moretruly an "in the know" experience. It just so happens that I visited the night of a holiday bar crawl in lockport so the inside wasn't set up how it normally would be. For being packed, we were still able to grab a cocktail table to enjoy our drinks at. The bar was decked out in holiday decor to get everyone in christmas spirits. My group got two rounds of drinks which included the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned, Figgy Smalls, Christmas in a Cup, Happiness is a Warm Puppy, Milk & Cookies, and Maple Bacon Old Fashioned. My favorites by far were the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned and Figgy Smalls. My group also loved the Milk & Cookies. The bartenders hustled to get drinks out and still took time to smoke the old fashioneds to perfection. I'd love to come back on a normal night and re-enjoy this lockport hotspot.

Ever since I learned that there was a speakeasy in Lockport i've always wanted to check it out but…read moreI didn't want to go there by myself so I finally convinced my wife to visit the Speakeasy with me. We figured it would have been the perfect way to top off our evening. For first-timers it might be hard trying to find the speakeasy since at first I thought you had to access it from the Busy Street and walk up three flights of stairs. Actually you just walk inside of the Embers building, find the elevator that's kind of hidden and take it to the Third floor. I thought that the little trip up felt exclusive already. Once you're at the third floor you are treated to a beautiful array of scenery. Exit to your left and you were treated to the bar and some great tables with a cozy, intimate setting. I'm not sure if it was open seating since there was a little podium right off the elevator so we just sat ourselves. Some speakeasies require a certain dress code to keep up with the times. This one thankfully was casual though many people dressed business casual. We actually loved how the staff dressed as well. I have to try their Japanese sex drink and I absolutely loved every ship that I took. The drinks are fairly price. They did have a food menu but it was mainly snacks and small plates that were a bit overpriced. If we're having a large Gathering they have a big private room next door. This place does have a lot of great events going on as well with their upcoming Valentine's Day event that looks really interesting. It does get pretty busy as well after 7:00 p.m. from our experience. Overall, I was excited and enjoyed our visit coming to the 933 speakeasy!

The prices are kind of high for a place like this. It has some cheap good drinks. Most kinds of things one would expect. They have mostly typical mass produced beer in bottles it seems.

A place for some betting entertainment. The slots provide the rest of the excitement behind the watching of sports events by active and not so active individuals. Beer and cheap cocktails are the main source of fun here. It also has places nearby to deliver pizza. There's also slots.
