We sat at the high chairs enjoying our ice cream and shakes.
Brandi M.

A wonderful shop in Elgin's downtown that serves Amy's ice cream and shakes. Off-The-Rails also offer mini stacks and crafted soda. We brought our family from out of state and they really enjoyed it. There were so many flavors to choose from and they weren't all your typical standard flavors. They also change them out ever so often so you are able to try something different on the next visit.

The "Robert Brownie Jr" Brownie with vanilla ice cream and recesses peanut butter cup

Off the Rails is a date night must! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere, they took time to explain the menu. We decided on the "Robert Brownie Jr" and the Mini Dutch Stack with Nutella and strawberries, mouth watering just thinking about it. They sell little trinkets and toys for littles, the little Dino bath bomb was a huge hit. I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone in the area. Definitely will be going back.

We love having delicious Amy's Ice Cream in Elgin! The space is spotless and the service is always great.

Cappuccino crunch with health bar topping

Awesome spot for a delicious treat! Love all of the paper lanterns and sprinkles painted on the walls! The staff was super friendly and service was fast! We will definitely be back :)

Cute little cream spot in downtown Elgin that's reasonably priced. It was 10$ for two small ice creams with one topping each.

I went through the drive through. They gave me what I…read moreordered and included all the standard items, slices of bread, crackers napkins, silverware etc. one package of crackers were opened but I didn't want them anyway so I didn't care. Meat--The meat was on the dry side, but not too dry. The meat had a LOT of fat on it to be so dry. Still very good though, great flavor and great crust. Very tasty. Sauce-very good. Balanced sweet and tangy, not on the sweet side, really likes it. Sides-I got green beans, they were not from a can, field fresh, definitely not overcooked, might could use a little more cooking. Nicely seasoned but could use a little salt. I also got Mac n cheese and it was good, I've had better but it was a nice flavor and I got a piece of toasty crust which I like and it was good. Dessert- I got peach Cobbler. I didn't like the crust. It's a cake-like crust and I prefer the pie like crust. The peaches were fresh and not from a can, not overly sweet, good flavor, but again, no cake for me. They don't have Coke Zero only Diet Coke. I did go inside to use the restroom. I like a bbq place to smell like a bbq place. This one had a stale restaurant stay.

One of two spacious dining rooms, great for large groups - whether it's your extended family or the whole team post-game!

All meats are slow-smoked fresh in-house daily. Order by the pound or as a meal with our homemade sides.

I've been hearing about Meyer's for many years now but haven't had the chance to go. Today was the…read moreday! Went to grab takeout with the family to eat at home nearby. I got the 2 meat combo plate with chicken and garlic pork sausage. I also got the creamed corn and potato salad on the side. Everything was good. The sausage and corn were great. In hindsight I wish I had ordered chicken breast - it's a just me thing, but brown chicken meat is tasting and smelling a lot like turkey to me lately which isn't great because of a bad turkey experience. (Again just me!!) I also would have ordered double creamed corn! It was delish! I also feel like I need raw onions and pickles forever with BBQ now. New obsession. All in all, great experience, and also - great price!

Disappointing BBQ Experience…read more We stopped at Meyer's BBQ after a fun morning of picking blackberries down the road and were really looking forward to lunch. Unfortunately, this was our first visit, and will also be our last. My mom ordered the chicken, my sister had the chili, and I went all in with the brisket, ribs, creamed corn, coleslaw, and buttermilk pie. The brisket was, without question, the driest brisket I've ever had. It was so dry that I had to take a drink after nearly every bite just to get it down. The ribs weren't much better, equally dry and lacking seasoning. The creamed corn had a strange texture and flavor that neither of us enjoyed, and the coleslaw was just average. In the end, all of my meal, plus half of my mom's chicken, went home for the dogs. The one bright spot was the buttermilk pie. It was surprisingly good and had just the right amount of sweetness. To be fair, the staff was very friendly, and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean. They deserve five stars for hospitality and cleanliness. Unfortunately, the food itself was closer to one star, and when you're visiting a BBQ restaurant, the food matters most. What made this even more disappointing was that we passed by the day before and saw what looked like the entire Elgin police department parked there. We figured it must be fantastic. Sadly, that wasn't our experience. I wouldn't eat here again, and I wouldn't recommend it based on the food we received. Such a disappointment.
