Very low key, mellow hang out bar. Good food specials for the week including 5$ burgers for Monday and 10$ AYCE fish on Thursdays. Will definitely be back read more

Mrs. P & Me - American Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

I think we came on a day when they were short. Super slow service, pot roast was good, twice baked cheesy potato not. Hadnt been in a few years. Super loud diners (room farthest from bar), was eager to leave read more

I've had a lot of things on the menu here and I cannot say that I had one bad thing. You could tell that on every dish they serve they do it right and it's consistently done every time. It's a nice family owned establishment where the co owner Chris B cares and is on-site often. Good selection of beverages at the bar nice friendly service. read more

It's...fine? I want to love local business and our waitress was lovely but the food is just...fine. I came with my family and we all liked our food but it was nothing that I'd ever be like "oh you know what I have a taste for...". read more

Very disappointed after several visits there lately. Service is extremely slow, from beginning to end. The wait staff and bartenders are not friendly. Super surprised because the restaurant seems to have potential. The bus boys were very nice and helpful...so they earned the 2 stars for this review. read more

I hate to do this, but I must share that the wait staff at this bar was very unfriendly, for no reason.

It is what it is. An average sports bar with casual dining and food. I didn't go inside, but spent the evening outside in their "beer garden/parking lot". I would probably come back to spend a few hours watching the game or catching up with friends. But not for a special evening. A good wine pour though. read more

Mrs. B and Me visited Mrs. P and Me [you KNEW I was going to say that] for lunch. She had found a $9 off deal, so she thought that this would be a fine destination for a cheapskate like me and a freeloader like her to patronize. The building that houses Mrs P and Me was constructed in or about 1902; so it's a really old example of local architecture. It has served as a tavern, restaurant, and ice cream parlor over the generations. It is now a retro sports bar. It stands across the street of the Mt Prospect train station, so the kids can see the choo-choos pass by. Although they make every effort to maintain the building, the wooden floor is warped, the HVAC system appears to be obsolescent, it is not handicap accessible, and most of the systems and architectural details are quite old. My chair actually flexed back and forth while I was sitting at the table. I am NOT suggesting that the building is in poor shape, because if you seek an old-fashioned tavern, this is the real McCoy. Indeed, the place is charming and fun in its own way: the wood paneled walls are festooned with old photos of Mt Prospect, the nearby rail line, and old "period" photos of various stations along the train route. They are fun to look at, and everything fits together in an authentic "old fashioned" manner. We arrived at about 1 pm, and the place was bustling. Lots of people were eating and drinking, while watching sporting events on their newfangled flat screen TV's. Young adults as well as families were in attendance: even the Geezer and his young bride (who is nearing retirement). We ordered sandwiches. I had an alpine chicken sandwich (with mushrooms and Swiss cheese), and my spouse devoured a mushroom burger, which also had the same toppings. Our waitress was friendly, but businesslike: she took our order and checked on us from time to time. The quality of the food was pretty good, although you could definitely identify it as "bar food." (Let's be sure there is a space between the "r" and the "f" inside the quote marks.) We enjoyed our meal and our experience there. You might too. BTW: On the way out, I had a chance to chat with a local yokel who lives in Mount Prospect. He never skied down Mount Prospect: in fact he denied that there was any ski hill in the community. [See my review of Mt Prospect's Le Peep Restaurant.] read more

If there were half stars I would give this place 1 and a half. First off, the only reason we went here was because every other place in the area had over an hour wait. Maybe that should have been our first red flag. Our experience was very confusing. We had a party of 8. I understand that's larger than the average group. We got our drinks quickly but it took 25 minutes for the waitress to come back and take our appetizer orders (and refills). Another 25 minutes go by and our apps come out. They were all pretty good - buffalo chicken dip, spinach artichoke dip and pretzel bites. By the time our server came back our appetizers had already been gone for 10 minutes. She asked a bus boy to clear the table and left without taking our meal order. We waited another 15 minutes to order. Our food took well over an hour. The other 2 tables next to us with 6 people got their food first and we had been there 30 minutes longer than them. Aside from the fact of how dreadfully slow the service was, the food wasn't good. Other considerations: We asked for water 4 times over the course of 45 minutes before we got it. We asked for napkins and didn't get them at all. Our server overall seemed to be annoyed to wait on us. I'll go here for drinks but not for a meal. read more

this neighborhood bar is not friendly to new people or those just trying to grab a bite to eat. i definitely won't be back.

My bf and I came here as we had a buy 1 get one coupon for meals and thought there was no harm in trying it. It was close as we live in Des Plaines and I sometimes even get off at the Mt Prospect metra stop anyway. We came in with no expectations. I was initially a little put off by the distinctly bar-like atmosphere and might think twice about bringing young children here in the future but I reconsidered my thought process from restuarant to something more bar like for a place to go to for a sports game and meal in the future. Still good. The service was a tad slow in getting to us but nothing I can't deal with. Once out waitress did get to us she was nothing but pleasent and attentive. Ok great. I wasn't expecting much from the food at this point but what we got was surprisingly tasty with fare you wouldnt nescessarily expect at a place like this. Both us got some sort of chicken sandwich and both were tender and juicy with great flavor. We both really enjoyed it and will probably be back soon read more

Burgers are big and juicy here, the homemade soups are tasty and so is their pulled pork sandwich. Just stay away from their salads and you'll be okay. Service each time has not been consistent, yesterday when I went it was slow, and the waitress seemed overwhelmed. Heard some dishes drop in the kitchen so maybe there was something going behind the scene that we didn't know about. I feel limited to stick with burgers and soups. I have tried their turkey club and a couple different salads and the lettuce is not that fresh and washed off good. Friendly atmosphere and a fun night out with friends, parking is on the street of this corner establishment. read more

Nope, just.....nope. Bathroom is dirty and smells like sex panther. Frozen food - blah. Rude bartender thinks you should have sonic hearing and hear everything he says even though they blast music to the same decibels as Lollapalooza in their small, shoe box bar. Nope. read more

very good food + very very sub par service = 2.5/3 stars. A girlfriend and I have a weekly standing dinner date and have recently decided to start using up all of the groupons I've purchased (seriously, it's an addiction.) She takes the train from Mt. Prospect into the loop daily, so Mrs. P & Me looked like a great place to meet for dinner. The groupon was 2 beers or mixed drinks, 2 entrees, and a hot fudge brownie dessert. Beer = Blue Moon on tap. Thumbs up. Would've expected from a "neighborhood bar" that they might have a few more locally sourced beers (Two Brothers, Goose Island, etc.) Food = The menu boasted a wide variety of bar options and entrees. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. We decided to split the Ambassador Burger (bacon & cheddar) and the Thursday night fish fry (cod). The burger was huge, we could've split it without the fish fry. The french fries were also very good, and the coleslaw as well. The fish fry was a little bit too salty for my taste. Dessert = this hot fudge brownie thing was really REALLY good, but the whipped cream they put on it was weird... almost tasted like cool whip? Not a fan of that. Service = So unfortunate. So disorganized. So slow. There were two servers on in the restaurant area, but it seemed that there was no rhyme or reason to their table sections. The restaurant has two "rooms" and all of the patrons were crammed into one, I felt like the woman at the next table was sitting on top of me. If I return, I would probably sit in the bar area only, burger and a beer at a high-top would work just fine with me. read more

Decent local pub ok for a quick stop in on a Sunday afternoon. Not buzzing but local and friendly. Good prices on the draft beer always a plus! read more

Nice bar to go to, right in downtown Mount Prospect. Prices are very reasonable, and some of their specials are great. I especially like their outdoor seating area. Highly recommend giving them a try if you haven't been there before! read more

Over all, not bad. The average fair that you'd expect from a pub. Service was very slow considering there were no other patrons. Meh... read more

See all

Pros: The burger was great. The beverages were tall. Cons: The veggie wrap had onions in it when I ordered it without onions. I had to pick a ton of raw onions out of it before I could eat it. I didn't get much avocado even though I paid $1.50 for it. The french fries were random temperatures and seasonings. When I asked for no bean salad on the side, they offered "Would you rather have coleslaw or nothing?". "Nothing?" I guessed. I've never been offered "nothing" as an option at a restaurant before, LOL. Maybe a cup of soup or something would have been nice. read more

Was at the car show last night across the tracks. Hadn't been in the bar in 20 years. Wife and I stopped for a sandwich and a quick drink. Clean place , friendly staff, good food. The chicken soup was great. Will be back for sure! read more

This place has been around a long time and has a great location across from the train station. It's very lively and that's the best thing I can say about it. Also, it's probably one of the more "upscale" places in downtown Mt Prospect, but it's kind of got that...for lack of a better term...yuppie feel. The food is average, but the outdoor patio is ok on a nice day. The food is nothing to write home about, but some people I know go there for the food. Go figure. Anyway, I was in there a week or so ago and ordered a vodka rocks and it was a bit light, and mentioned it to the bartender. She was very friendly and freshened it up. I thought, cool! Until the bill came and I saw that was charged for an extra drink. OK, I get it...I don't like it, but I get it...just let me know if you're charging me for another drink when you're responding to a comment about one that seems weak...especially when it's Absolute rocks. read more

Group of 12 of us went out for bday.... Waitress was noting special, food was nothing special either. I gave my credit card at the beginning , to start my tab. She was intent on getting her 18 percent, so refused to split the tab for our group, i had to beg, and ask for manager... And then got an attitude from her to split the tab. She still added the 18 percent, which actually saved me money, since i usually leave 20%... I have no idea how this place has such high reviews.... Mediocre food, sub-par service, and attitude problems.... read more

The service was good, but the food was not great. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the bun was the same sort of slightly hard, room temperature, sesame seed bun from a bag you'd expect at a backyard barbecue (untoasted). The BBQ sauce was weird, VERY sweet, and not in a honey barbecue sort of way. It was like sugary ketchup. My husband was also not thrilled with his open-face London broil sandwich. All of the food definitely seemed like thawed stuff. We also ordered cheese curds, which were pretty good. For these three dishes (we only drank water) the bill was nearly $40. If you like the ambiance and just want to drink, this place would probably be okay, but from purely a food perspective it just doesn't seem worth it. read more

Tonight we used curbside for what I thought was my favorite chicken Caesar salad. The chicken was as great as ever. The croutons were old and some rancid. When I called to tell Mrs. P this the response was "first time we've heard that" with the tone... you are making it up. Time to search for a new place for a good chicken Caesar salad. read more

I've been here a few times, before, but I wound up here on a Sunday because Blues Bar ruined my Sunday hot wing fix by being unexpectedly closed. Apparently some issue with their liquor license. But, I digress. If I lived in Mt. Prospect, I would probably spend a lot of time at Mrs. P and Me. Its got the feel of a local bar that probably has a ton of regulars. Its almost never busy in here on Sundays though, which is nice since in general I can't stand the "public". They have the usual domestic beer selection with a couple local crafts thrown in to keep prissy jerks like me happy (Revolution, Goose Island). I had a burger which was good, the service was very friendly as well. read more

It's a bar and small. Has good drinks. Plenty of parking and walking distance to the metro. read more

Have been going off and on since 1973 and after today will never go back. Asked if today was still 1/2 wine day. Waitress said yes and like always we ordered a bottle of wine, Monday and Tuesday special. Got the bill and was charged full price. When asked the waitress said that they changed 3 months ago. Why not say that when we ordered. read more

Cozy bar atmosphere. I've had many things on the menu all have been good except I didn't care for the flank steak. Great place to hang out and have a relaxed dinner or even just drinks. read more

Great patio and food during times when we aren't sheltering in place, just did takeout the other day and it was just as fabulous at home. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped going there. Last 2 times we went there we walked out because of the service. Not one waitress stopped by our table. The owner is clueless. Used to be our favorite place. read more

Good food, nice staff, good service. Went on a night that Patrick was there to get a psychic reading done. Fun evening was had by all.

Ate there this week and had the Tuesday night special. Half slab of ribs for $9.95. They were excellent, meaty and tender, very good. Haven't been there in a couple of years, but glad to see it is still a nice place to eat. read more

I can't believe people walk in this place. The service is probably the worst I have ever had anywhere and I have been everywhere. Between the waitstaff, the bartenders, and the occasional arrogant owners walking around, you would think you have to get permission to go there. read more

The food here is not that good. You can get better burgers at Burger King or Burger World. However, this place adds some charm to the mundane new construction condo buildings that have appeared all over Mt Prospect in the past decade. This along with the other little stretch of buildings is about the only historical charming thing left. The bartender just talked to her friends the time I was there and so yes the service sucks read more

Great, charming, historical building. Yes if you go later it is bar-like however I've brought my family here numerous times. They also built a nice outdoor patio a summer or two ago which is also great for kids b/c you don't feel so bad if there's a mess on the floor. Favorites are the Lemon Chicken Focaccia Sandwich, Pork Roast, and the Cabbage Soup when it's in the rotation. We occasionally get it to go for the office and the guys love the buffalo chicken. Prices are decent, usually not a wait to sit, food is good. read more

This review is for the ONE drink, and the trivia I was at last night!! So we heard this place had trivia from 8-10. After eating elsewhere, we decided to check it out! What a fun little place! I was actually sad I had eaten elsewhere because there were a lot of things I wanted to try on the menu. Next time for sure, then! :) I ordered a margarita, and that was delicious. The trivia was run by a lovely lady named Lara, and she was quite good at it! I really liked her style! They also had a really neat outdoor patio area that looked fun. There were a lot of people out there this particular night, and I don't blame them--it was a gorgeous night for it! I will definitely be back again to try the food and to order some more drinks! read more

Awful! I have lived in Mount Prospect for 10 years and been to Mrs P and Me several times and this was by far the worst. The food was terrible. The service was worse than terrible and management is uninterested. I will never go back again. read more

This was another stop on our pub crawl. Drinks came fast and we were off to our next stop.

Came by for drinks on a pub crawl. The place was super packed although there isn't much going on here. That said, all the strangers that I made friends with were incredibly friendly. This is an awesome place for cheap drinks if you're looking for a low-key good time. read more

This place was pretty awesome. it was super packed but the crowd seemed like a chill group and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back to check out some of the specials i saw on the wall read more

Food's great in the restaurant, drinks are great in both the restaurant and the bar, and service is great whether you're dining or drinking. With a fun and often crowded atmosphere, this big old farmhouse on the south side of the tracks in downtown Mount Prospect welcomes hungry and thirsty people of all ages. The downstairs is a good place for a special-occasion party. read more
