    Short Rib Melt (4/5)
    Randi M.

    We stopped by on an evening before 6 pm, before the restaurant became busy, The staff were friendly, provided good recommendations and checked in to see how we were doing throughout the evening. I ordered the cinnamon cranberry smash. It was fruity but not too sweet and seemed to have a bit of spice, maybe from the cinnamon stick. The short rib melt is a big sandwich. The meat was savory and full of flavor. There was a good amount of cheese and honey-ale house onions, which seemed to be caramelized. The au jus was tasty and thicker than most jus'. It was more like a gravy, yet tasty. The fries were hot, crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior. We'd stop by again the next time we are in the area!

    Ample side salad

    It is very important to support local restaurants. This is one of them. This hidden gem is only year old, it was really nicely decorated and very well maintained. The bar area was ample. The bartender Heidi was very nice and welcoming and suggested we go upstairs and check out the outdoor area. It was a stunning roof top with nice comfortable furniture and a huge deck. My go to vodka lemonade was really good and the bloody Mary was just the right amount of spice. The braised short rib panini was really tasty and plenty for two people to share. The upgraded side salad was an ample portion to share but seemed to be missing something like cheese, carrots, croutons etc. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area! I give this restaurant 4.5 stars.

    Antioch is so funny and this bar and restaurant is so fun ! You get bar food sure, but the live music ??! Can't beat it

    The food is great, unexpected for an ale house. Service is friendly. The owners are usually there also and stop by to meet you.

    It takes forever to get appetizers if at all. Burgers are good. Servers just need to pay attention to guest

    This is a great neighborhood "joint". The restaurant makes some of the best bar food around. Best…read morewings in the area. Burgers and chicken sandwiches are large and juicy. Taco Tuesday is a great deal and fun. The bar is great with a good variety of beer and standard whiskey etc. Owners are the most down to earth folks. Like other Grayslake establishments, they belong in our town. Now in need to get me some wings.

    We visited when the restaurant was fairly quiet, with only a few tables occupied, but we waited…read moreover 30 minutes for our taco salads. Our server did check in twice and let us know the food should be coming out soon, which we appreciated. When the meals arrived, the portions--especially the meat--were smaller than expected. The food tasted fine overall, but the long wait and portion size made the experience underwhelming, and we're not especially eager to return.
