    Meatloaf Tower is awesome
    Matt M.

    Took a different way to Oakbrook and stumbled across this - decided to give it a whirl, sooooo glad I did. Our waitress was amazing and when we said it was our first time there she pulled up a chair and walked us through some of their most popular items and was patient while we worked it out. The meatloaf tower was super and had some great flavor. The Cuban did not disappoint was also very good. The sleeper was the French onion soup that was popping and not the bland disappointment some places have. Such a great little sleeper that is just enough outta the way - take the time to check it out, you'll be happy you did.

    Kids Mac & Cheese
    Brian H.

    Wow! The food was incredible, my kids and family ate everything on their plates. I got the mile high meatloaf, my wife got the buffalo chicken wrap, kids got the kids Mac and cheese and my son got the fish and chips. Everything had flavor and was hot! The service was good the waitress was nice and attentive, the only issue we had was the guy clearing the dishes was very pushy, we had barely finished and he was reaching across us grabbing plates. That would be our only complaint. The inside had a really neat travel decor and it was really neat to look at while waiting for our food!

    We took a trip down to see family, and after searching for a place to eat, we stumbled upon Madison's Pub and Grill. It was delicious! It was in a place I grew up as a child, and my father's friend owned that property. Good memories there, for sure. I ordered the black and blue burger, and it was cooked to perfection! My husband ordered the Jalapeno burger, but requested no barbeque sauce. We both loved our burgers! We both had fries with our burger. Good food, excellent staff, and a lovely experience. However, the cheese curds that we ordered were overcooked, but the parmesan that was added, was nice touch. Don't overcook your cheese curds, coming from an opinion from Wisconsinites. We will be back there the next time we venture south.

    We frequent this place a lot. Great food, great drinks and excellent service. I recommend having the meatloaf with an old fashioned.

    We had the perch and the walleye and both were excellent. The quality of the fish was higher than you would expect from a pub.

The outdoor patio was cute and shielded from traffic with high wall dividers. Food wasn't the highlight, but I would come back to try other dishes. White Chocolate Pistachio Martini $14 - Not too sweet, nor too strong, good flavors. Grilled Octopus $20 - Small portion, tender octopus. Chicken Wings $17 - 8 meaty wings, naked, skin was slightly crispy and caramelized. Salmon Poke Bowl $19 - Simple and straight forward salmon poke bowl. The fries were crispy and delicious. For our birthday celebration, they gave us a yummy brownie and ice cream with a little candle. Reservations can be made on Resy. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

    Another great dinner at Foxtail!…read more We had to come back to try more of the menu, and this time we ordered: * Pork belly bruschetta: 5/10. Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. The pork belly, ciabatta, and balsamic were all good individually, but together the flavors just didn't work. It felt mismatched... * Colorado lamb kebab: 10/10. This is one of the more $$ entrées on the menu, but it's absolutely worth it. The portion was generous, the lamb was high quality, and the artichoke pesto paired really well with the rich, gamey flavor. The roasted pearl onions were a great addition too. I would definitely recommend this dish. * Foxtail paella: 8/10 flavorful orzo paella loaded with seafood. Definitely a sharing type of entree! Always a great time at Foxtail with great food and great service!

Food is good and the salsa has the homemade feeling. Service is attentive. After multiple visits, I am here to share and no longer keep this spot to myself, haha. Drinks are pricey but meet the expectations to match the price. Food is fairly priced with today's economy. Although, the only dish I didn't really like was the empanadas. Everything else was good. Carne a la tampiqueña was good, meat was tender and cooked just right. Their mole sauce was good as well(not on the sweet side at all), which is perfect for me. Enchiladas de pollo con mole were good, the chicken was juicy. Steak tacos are good. The chicken with tostadas were another hit, a tomato sauce base not like a tinga but still good. The mezcalito drink was great. Also, the Paloma madre was good. I did see fortaleza on the bar wall!!! Over all a great place to stop by when you're at or in the burr ridge area. I am excited to go back and try the ceviche and pulpo.

    Let me start by saying we were genuinely excited for our first visit to Eddie Merlot's on…read moreValentine's Day. I made a reservation for four through OpenTable and, about a week and a half later, called to add two more guests. The GM told me it was their busiest holiday of the year and they were completely booked from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM with no extra seating available. Our reservation was at 5:15 PM, and we arrived on time. We were told our table would be ready shortly, so I walked through the dining room on the way to the restroom and noticed several open tables and a row of extra chairs lined up against the wall. Shortly after, we were seated. The décor was breathtaking, and our server was outgoing and pleasant. She took our drink order promptly, and the drinks were excellent. We ordered several appetizers: Filet Mignon Pot Stickers (not great), Calamari (just okay), and Grilled Oysters (overpowered by hard Parmesan). I also ordered the Jumbo Crab and Corn Bisque. While there was corn in every spoonful, I didn't get a single piece of "jumbo" crab until the very last bite. For our entrées, we ordered two Wagyu Tomahawks for Two (medium) along with two Atlantic cold-water lobster tails. We also chose four sides: Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli, Asparagus, and Brussels Sprouts with bacon. The steaks and lobster were presented on a very large wooden board that barely fit on the table, leaving little room for the sides. Unfortunately, this is where the experience became extremely disappointing. The lobster tails were cold. The steaks were so heavily charred that all I could taste was burnt crust. The mashed potatoes were dry and tasted boxed, and the vegetables were bland and uninspired. We were even asked if we wanted the lobster tails reheated--which was surprising, as properly prepared lobster shouldn't need to be reheated. After that, the mood at our table shifted. We were ready to leave. Our server seemed to feel bad and stopped checking in as frequently, which made it difficult to settle our bill for what turned out to be a very expensive and disappointing evening. We were there for over three hours, and the only accommodation offered was one complimentary round of drinks. It was also clear that the restaurant was never fully booked during our time there, despite being told earlier that they were completely sold out. Sadly, this was not the Valentine's Day experience we had hoped for, and we will not be returning.
