The bartender." Falon." Was super friendly and just a genuinely nice person. What's lacking in this location is beer on tap. they only serve bottles. They do claim to sell pizza as they're only food item but they were out the night that I was there.

The on tap beer menu is small, but delicious. Had two local Chicago microbreweries (Maplewood and Dovetail - NEIPA and Pils, as well as Missouri's Narrow Gauge Brewery - Wild Idaho Jorts). Beers were so good, now need to go and search out these breweries in the flesh. Best tho was their a small Spanish-inspired Tapas menu...husband had bourbon pork belly solomillo with fries and I had montaditos (jamon, salami, honey goat cheese and arugula with fig dip on tiny pan shaped torta bread) with chips.

I've actually been coming here for a while. I was first introduced to the Mundelein location years ago, so when I started working in the area, I figured, why not give the Grayslake location a try too? It ended up being a great decision. I went with the buffalo wings, all flats. One thing I really appreciate is that they'll actually accommodate all flats or all drums, which surprisingly isn't as common as it should be. The wings are meaty, juicy, and cooked with a nice crisp that holds up even after being coated in sauce. The buffalo has that classic buttery flavor with just enough kick to keep each bite interesting without overpowering the wing itself. They're not trying to reinvent buffalo wings. They're just executing them really well. The biggest compliment I can give them is the consistency. Every visit tastes like the last. The recipe doesn't change because it doesn't need to. When you find something that works, you stick with it, and Emil's has. This place also always seems to be packed, and after coming here multiple times, I completely understand why. Even when I don't order the wings, everything else I've had has been just as impressive. It's the kind of place where you can confidently try something different and know you're going to leave happy. One thing that makes Emil's even more interesting is that there are two locations. I've been to both Emil's Tavern on Center and Emil's Sports Bar & Pizzeria. The menus are very similar, but the wings definitely aren't. I actually asked about it once, and they confirmed they use different recipes. Wing Rating: 8.55/10 So now I'm curious. What's the verdict? And while we're at it... flats or drums?
