I've heard so many positive comments about Fatty from my NIU friends! The inside is quite large…read morewith multiple event spaces to host parties as well as a large patio. We sat at the outdoor patio bar where they had two screens playing sports games. We started with a John Daley & Huskie Punch. The punch tasted similar to a painkiller which is tropical and fruity. The John Daley tasted like it had more tea than lemonade but it was refreshing. For food, I got the Honey Garlic Boneless Wings. I loved the flavor of the sauce and the medium order came as quite a big portion. They were very crispy and well breaded. My husband got The Fat Boy burger with a side of their famous Cajun Fried Potato Salad and Baked Beans. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The potato salad wasn't too spicy but tasted delicious. I see why it's so famous! Overall, this was a great summer hang out spot! I was thoroughly impressed by the food quality and atmosphere Fatty's has to offer. I will certainly be back with friends!

Traveling trough the area I hear the "I'm hungry" call from the back seat! It's our 4yr grandson…read morewanting food. Being just after the usual grazing time for him we found this establishment that checked all the boxes for the three of us. Outdoor seating as well as indoor seating was available, seat yourself style. We sat inside. The noise level was not loud at all. Perfect for table conversations. The menu had too many tasty sounding items. I chose the Fatty Melt with the Cajun Fried Potato Salad and Coleslaw. My wife had the Chicken Club Wrap with Onion rings and Beans (for me). The little had the 2 mini sliders with fries. Being family we share the sides and the onion rings were a hit. The number one treat in my book was the Cajun Fried Potato Salad. The bean had a good smoky flavor to them. Last but not least our server should get top billing in the review. Jordan did a fantastic job accommodating our requests and took the time to answer questions without feeling rushed. She made us feel more like a friend than a patron. Hats off to you Jorden! Thanks for making our visit enjoyable.

Best of the many bars in DeKalb. It has been a long time local favorite. Lord Stanley's has been…read morewhere NIU students and locals watch sports, get trashed, and eat greasy pizza for years. For sure it's not a nice looking place but this isn't where to go to impress anyone. The cheap prices and cheap tastes are the main things. A lot of bars around here are nothing special looking, and this is no exception. It's pretty much a worn out looking place. The inside is bigger than it looks, with room enough for quite a crowd to watch games and stuff. Lots of good deals going on. These are daily and weekly. It's about $4 for a cocktail. The basics like whiskey and Coke or whatever. A lot of classic appetizers. It's about $4 for the World Famous Willies. Highly suspect these are that famous. These are fried pizza dough balls served with red sauce. Also you can get these with garlic and Parmesan cheese. The pizzas are pretty greasy but still are popular. Classic small town college bar. It's open in the afternoon to late at night, so lots of time to come in and have good times. There's plenty of the locals, not just the college students who like to hang out or whatever.

You simply cannot go wrong with the pizzas or the price! Great for friends get together.read more

Easy to buy tickets, plenty of parking, and easy to locate your seats. The team wasn't so good,…read morehowever it was a good time. They do serve a small variety of alcohol, pop, and water. If you're lucky you'll find hot food too; most likely not at the top of the stadium. The only GF option they had to eat were a bag of peanuts, ironically help one person to eat while potentially giving a nearby fan an anaphylactic reaction.

First time at Huskie Stadium to watch NIU football game. Pretty much what you would expect to find…read moreout in the cornfields of Illinois : ) Pretty small crowd for the game. Highlight of the evening was probably the band, who entertained from the opening kickoff to the last whistle! We sat on the west side of the stadium, Section C, Row 7. Exceptional view of the game for a $15 ticket. And they sell Huskie beer... Make sure you eat at Fatty's before or after the game--fabulous!!

I love chili's! The food tastes great in my opinion. My family comes here all the time. And chili's…read moreservice is some of the best I've seen too! The ambiance is nice and chill which I like. And it's a great place to invite friends and family and chat a little. Only complaint is the service is also slow. But I can't control people with a review. And they have their own worries as well. So 4 stars!

Walked in on a Friday night, the restaurant was half empty restaurant. The parking lot was half…read moreempty. They told us it would be 20 minute wait, so we left. 3 hostesses standing around doing nothing. Terrible managed restaurant

We haven't been here in at least 10 years tried it on a Friday night…read more Live music and all the bar patrons are extremely loud, so if you want a quiet relaxing dinner or want to hear what your wife is saying, this isn't the place. The fish fry was good. I would skip the catfish, but the walleye and cod were very good. The bread roll they gave you with the dinner was also very good. 8 breaded shrimp special was also good. Fries were way overcooked and they probably need to clean The fryer. The fries are a very dark color. Service was decent for the bar being packed. The bill was around $40 for two dinners and sodas before tip

Got some lunch at this place in Sycamore downtown. It actually is located in the historic…read morecourthouse so it's a good place to go after getting released or after seeing a judge. PJ's has a lot of typical tavern fare including booze and fried stuff. Also some things are healthier. The prices aren't that bad especially with the specials they often have so ask about these. Came at lunch and we got seats at the bar. It's got enough room that you could bring a group. There's also more dining on another side so plenty of tables. Has pretty much what's expected at a tavern as far as drinks and food. It's about $5 for the cheapest cocktails, so okay prices. The best one of these we had was the Wheatley Vodka Club, which is ironically pretty simple. It's $11 for the Beyond Burger. This comes with lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Fries are on the side or you can get something else. The rest of the menu is pretty meaty with things like burgers, hot dogs, and the Italian beef sandwiches. Has a lot of things to like here. It's located in a historic building and is one of the more happening places in town. There's even a few things for vegans and vegetarians.
