I checked out Milk Money Brewing in La Grange during the summer and walked away with a pretty clear takeaway: come here thirsty. The beer selection is excellent. Definitely the star of the show! Service was also a highlight. Very friendly staff, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy even with a toddler. The food didn't quite stand out as much for me, but it wasn't a dealbreaker, especially with everything else going for it. Honestly, this feels like the kind of place you go to hang out and enjoy a few great beers especially on a summer day after chasing around a toddler around the La Grange water fountain and neighborhood. Overall, a solid spot with a great vibe. I'd happily come back, especially to explore more of the beer menu. read more

Subpar experience tonight at Milk Money. Came here after a movie across the street and had been on my list to try. Disappointed. We sat outside and the menu looks like it has a lot of options. We ordered a couple drinks - a beer that wasn't anything special and a martini that had shimmer in it. I took a sip and instantly regretted it - tasted like a mixed drink I made at a highschool basement party. The alcohol burned my throat and it was like the cocktail components didn't make sense. I took one sip and never sipped it again. We ordered cheese curds and a burger which came out in 5 minutes after we ordered which was odd. Felt more like a fast food joint. The cheese curds were heavy and greasy and the burger was pretty good. 1 appetizer, a burger, 2 drinks cost us $67, kind of wild in my opinion. Our server seemed like she wanted us gone too as it was the end of the night. Disappointing experience, don't plan on returning. read more

Tried this place again. Slow service, food was overcooked, shrimp and grits and veggie burger. Had to send them back, they charge $5 more for veggie patty to an already high price. Even the server wasn't impressed with the food, and couldn't recommend much to eat. They were also out of many appetizers. read more

There are two restaurants that our family frequents in Downtown La Grange and Milk Money Brewing is one of them! We have tried several items: 1) Fried taquitos 2) Roasted Brussel Sprouts and cauliflower* 3) Barbecue wings 4) MMB nachos 5) Crispy pig sandwich with fries* 6) Smoked brisket sandwich with fries* 7) Lobster sliders with fries* 8) Pizza with provolone, mozzarella, and pepperoni* 9) Chicken and waffles* The ones marked with an asterisks are some of the items that we would normally repeat. In fact, the pizza is almost always a must-order for our girls. Service is attentive and friendly. The environment is incredibly family-friendly. They have a section in the back that is divided from the rest of the dining room and it is equipped with children toys. We have yet to make use of the room but it looks like the kids were having a great time whenever we passed by. read more

Had a great time last night with a good local band playing and good service at the bar. Food was upscale bar food. Beer was decent for a small brewery. read more

Stopped in while in the area. On a Saturday afternoon the place was busy. They had a nice variety of beer, my husband had a Tres Amigos a Mexican lager, which he enjoyed. He also ordered the cheese curds. Service was not good. My husband ended up ordering at the bar, because our server was nowhere to be found. It took along time to get the cheese curds, but they were very good. Overall, service needs to be improved. read more

I have driven by this place a hundred times in the past and have never tried it out. So happy we did tonight! Vibe is open and airy, met our bartender Chris who is cool as sh!t and we felt like friends. Ordered a brew and headed to a movie across the street only to come back for dinner! And it was delicious! Try the beer, come back for the food! It will surprise you, I guarantee it! We will be back read more

I really enjoyed the ambiance and during the summer it is my favorite place to go because I can eat outside with my furry friend! Their tacos are also really good!! read more

Fun little place on Lagrange Road...been there six years. A good deal house-made beer and pretty awesome menu. We had a great time on Mother's Day. read more

The ambiance was very nice- casual, clean and good energy. There food was also surprisingly delicious for a bar/brewery. My lobster sliders were really good- the lobster seemed fresh, the sauce wasn't heavy and the buns were steamed perfectly. The only issue was poor service. I think they are really short staffed, and need to hire more people during busy hours to help manage the volume. read more

We ordered the buffalo chicken sandwiches, grillled instead of fried. Extremely disappointed. this place is doing its best to skimp on portions. They actually sliced a already thin, small check-in breast horizontally in half, making it about the thickness of a slice of lunchmeat. it was ridiculous for the price. you could hardly even see the chicken buried under the lettuce. Do not order this if you are hungry. the beer and service was good though. read more

Ordered take out, which arrived quickly via Uber. Fried pickles were good. We each had the Street Burger, which to be honest were an insult to burgers everywhere. Frozen, grey, overcooked patties, no flavor, even the onion ring and the pretzel bun were bad, and it's hard to mess those up. The fries were fine. Five Guys does it better sadly, and at a better price. It seems this might be more of a happy hour place than a food destination. I'm giving two stars because my toddler thought the Mac 'n Cheese slaps. read more

Modern clean lines with a marble bar top. They offer food and even a brunch on Sunday. read more

Food was good but service was terrible. We waited for over 15 minutes and were never asked if we were ready to order even after making eye contact with the waitresses a few times. Another couple came in about 15 minutes after us and their order was taken promptly. I had to stop a waitress and ask who would be taking our order because we were ready to order. read more

Enjoyed this brewery. There were some children, but not too many, as some reviews suggest. I also disagree that it is overpriced. all restaurants are expensive now, but this restaurant is within an acceptable price range. The food was good. The wife had the MMB Burger, which she liked. The Cobb salad was also good, but heavy on the bacon, not necessarily a bad thing. The Oktoberfest beer was my favorite and she liked the On the Porch. We agreed that the LaGrange Lager needed more flavor. The service was good and I would go back. read more

Checked out this pretty hip looking brewery in LaGrange. It blasts the hipster alternative music so they're so cool, aren't they? Milk Money also happens to have beer, which seems like an afterthought in this brewery but whatever. Besides trying to make the hipster vibes, it makes a few beers and has food. Things are overpriced. A loud scene in here is what to expect. It's a pretty happening place. There's a bar along with many tables. Hip modern look. Lots of metallic and white. Also it seems to be family friendly. Lots of kids running and screaming. As for the beers, they're okay. It's about $8 a pint. That's kind of a lot, especially since many are from other breweries and not by them. Among the ones by them is the On The Porch. This is a wit bier, pretty smooth. Among the food are healthy options. It's about $12 for a salad. The Fennel Salad is good for vegetarians. Has fruit. This is arugula with apples, fennel, pecans, radish, and watermelon. Good but there wasn't much. This is more like a side item as far as portions. Great drinks and food here. It's just overpriced. There's also small portions so it's even more of a ripoff, but the salads are healthy and whatever. read more

Stopped in and had a beer. Clean and well run. It's a friendly place with screens and food, The front windows open up to give a nice indoor outdoor fee. It's in downtown, nice for lunch or to catch a snack before heading to a movie. read more

never min my life have i had to complain about bad ketchup, but this joint seemed to f that up. cutlery is beyond absurd as it is something they might give to a prison inmate. the gentleman playing guitar and singing hurt my eardrums and they handed us paper towels from the bathroom when we asked for napkins. besides that 1.5/5 stars! read more

My co-worker and I found this place exploring the area and I am so glad we did. Shout out to Bruce our bartender, who answered our questions and wasn't pushy about anything. For a place that you could tell had a lot of "regulars" he made us feel like we fit right in. The place is really cool and perfect for families too. They have a couple tvs on the bar and in a sitting area off the bar along with shuffleboard and mini arcade games. They opened in 2020 and not only are the beers refreshing and delicious but the food slaps. I always admire a brewery that can put out quality food. The Cuban Sandwich I would put on par with some I have had in Orlando and the Pistachio Tres Leche was...yup sorry to say it moist and delicious. The next time I am in the area, I will come back. If you are local or stopping through give these guys a visit! read more

Food was not good. Lobster rolls were bread with creamy sauce all over and maybe a few shavings of lobster. Street tacos flavorless.

Cute location and family friendly. My issue came when we asked for tab and were charged more for a beer flight than what was on menu. Price on menu was $15 for flight and was charged $23. We mentioned it and got some round about answer saying the price changed. Won't be going back. I know it was only a few bucks, but it was the principle. read more

Milk Money always makes you feel right at home with their personable service and quality food & drink options. The indoor and outdoor sidewalk patio in the summertime also offers a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere once you enter the space. More than just a brewpub, it offers some eclectic food options while offering a full bar as well. Good to sit down at the bar and watch some sports, or, sit with a group and have a full meal! We recently worked with Ashley and John to coordinate my wife's 40th birthday which took place in their semi-private party room, and, everything went off without a hitch! Their entire crew that night was attentive and served some great food for us as well. A worthy stop for anyone in and around the LaGrange area! read more

This is a cool spot for dinner and drinks in LaGrange. I sat with friends inside but right next to the outdoor area on a nice summer evening. I tried the La Grange Lager, Brightside IPA, and Vibrant Hazy IPA, they were all different and delicious. The MMB Burger is a good size if you're hungry; I wish there were more French fries with it. The cheese curds are a delicious starter. Service was friendly and consistent. Parking is easy to find in the nearby garage on Harris. read more

Had a great time here. I had a dry apple beer/sour along with their street burger. Wasn't greasy (yuck!) or overloaded with condiments like I see at most places lately. I recommend it! It wasn't crowded. They have outdoor seating on the sidewalk, so when they open the garage door, you get a nice breeze inside. The ambiance is great, the food is great, and the service was great. I think it was the owner (?), anyway, he shut the garage door halfway when it started to rain. I appreciate it! read more

Stopped in after a day at the zoo. It's a cute little place with several tables and a bar (a few tvs if you're looking to watch a game). There was a good selection of different beers so we got 2 flights to try. The stouts were great on a cold day! The food was unexpectedly delicious too. I wasn't sure what to expect because I didn't look at a menu ahead of time but they have a great selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and pizza. Our waitress was attentive and personable on a busy afternoon. Great place to stop in if you're in the area! read more

Quality brewery/restaurant located right on the main strip of LaGrange. It has a wide variety with a specialty in pale ales (at least I feel so) and a solid food menu. I've gotten the burger, which is a great deal, and then some smaller dishes- a pizza square and grilled octopus taco, not bad, just small. I've had several beers over the 2 years I've been coming here, and all are really good. They sell several of them in 4 packs. They have bar seating or tables. On Monday nights, there's trivia done in the back area. There's a small parking lot just north of the building, but it may fill up fast. If not you can do metered street parking, or park in the garage behind. I always keep an eye out for new beers on tap and whenever there is I make a point to come check them out. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in to try some beer. Cool vibe and great beer. We shared a few and I recommend any of the hazy ipa. At time of visit they only had 2 kinds of beer available in 4 packs of cans. Thankfully my favorite beer was available. They also offer crowlers. Fun little place. read more

Milk Money Brewing is too cool for downtown Lagrange, but I still appreciate its' presence nonetheless. It's a local brewery with great drinks on tap, good cocktails, and yummy food. I happen to go there during sunset and it was brutal through the glass window, but that isn't so much their fault, just be mindful of the time of day. It's a family friendly place too, so feel free to bring your kids to get some food as well. I'd definitely recommend them! read more

Took the wife there last weekend and holy cow stay away. We saw 3 mice running around. Brought it up to the server and they made a comment every restaurant gets them. We paid our bill and left and never going back. read more

Happened to be in the area. Stopped in for a beer and a bite to eat. Nice ambiance. The service and food were both good. Will go back if we are back in the area, otherwise a little far for us. read more

We actually went to a brewery and didn't try the beer, but the Mildly Inappropriate cocktail was fantastic. It is a Butter-Washed Old Fashioned with bourbon, smoked maple syrup, and bitters. Everyone loved it! read more

We had a great time here and I thought the brewery aesthetic was quite cut. The S.O. really, really enjoyed the MMB burger as it was a classic, but super well done. I'm not sure what the ketchup it, but it had a nice, sweet tang that was unexpectedly good. I got the Club salad and I love dressing, so it might be too wet for others. The beers are okay, but the food really made up for it. Parking was really easy and it's located right in the middle of the main part of La Grange. Our server was super nice and easy to talk too. read more

The wait staff was friendly and very helpful. But at times, our server would disappear. Not really an issue as another server took our order. We started with the Cheese Curds. I got the Belgian Quad for a drink. Both were outstanding. The quad was pretty potent. I took my time and enjoyed it though my whole meal. The cheese curds had a nice light and crispy exterior. They were served with a remoulade which had a nice kick to it. Not crazy spicy, just a little heat. For dinner, we split the Street Burger and the Shrimp Po Boy. I loved the Po Boy. The shrimp were juicy and crispy. The remoulade and pickles offset each other perfectly. Would definitely recommend the Po Boy. The Street Burger was decent. I think I've been spoiled by other places when it comes to burgers. I thought the meat was dry. I don't feel like I really got a flavor or impression from the Bacon jam. Not sure if it wasn't there or there wasn't much on my half of the burger. I don't think I'd recommend the burger. There's definitely better places to get a burger. After seeing other tables get the Crab Tostada, Buffalo chicken sandwich, and the Cuban, I have order regret. They looked excellent, but I can't speak to how they taste. I'm definitely willing to come back and try other beers and food. read more

During these difficult times, we are really not going out much. However, every so often, we do want to escape the house and choose a brewery with food. I'm a bit of a craft beer aficionado and this is one industry I am happy has really thrived in the Chicago area and suburbs. We went to Milk Money a few weeks ago; I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and my husband the cuban sandwich. The food and drinks were excellent and the vibe, a very light, modern brewery, is really aesthetically pleasing. Server Matt was very accommodating and friendly, given it was pretty busy. I also like that they have that whole open front / window thing going on so you have that patio feel despite being inside a building. He's a great sales person too, as he sold us a 4-pack to take home (which is a cool feature of having dinner at the very place that also brews the beer). Great place - happy to see another one thrive in the nearby neighborhoods - we will be back! read more

Came here with a friend to enjoy some good ol' beers. They had live music which was a great touch since they played some great past hits. Place is kid and dog friendly. Arrived early for seating then after 3 hours it was a full house. Didn't know it would get packed but still easy to hear and speak to your party. Service was good. Also easy free garage parking around the corner. read more
