We stopped in here for a quick snack. The service was great and our food came out incredibly…read morequickly. We split the Italian Beef which was tasty and a very generous portion. I found out from our server that many of their items are made in house, which is great to hear in a restaurant landscape where everything is frozen and reheated! It might have a silly name and the decor might be "rundown chic", but the food and service is spectacular.

Checked out this funny and quirky restaurant in Galena. Durty Gurt's is a long time local favorite…read morewith drinks and food that's better than it looks. It may be kind of dumpy inside but the place is also full of crazy personality. A lot of the basics along with a few fancier items. The prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. Basically if you're a group it will probably be waiting for a table so go early. It's one of the popular places to go around here. The last time coming here we got seats at the bar and there wasn't any waiting. Has a lot of cool memorabilia to look at. There's a bunch of funny signs on the walls. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel is one of the classics you can get. It's about $13 for a burger and fries. They have a veggie burger that can substitute. We each got one of these. I got it with the toppings of the Basic Burger. These come with the usual toppings like lettuce, mayonnaise which I left off, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. She got it with the toppings of the Olive Burger. These come with cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise, olives, onions, Swiss, and tomatoes. For sure it gets busy. It's located on Main at Franklin. They're closed Wednesdays.

We are in town for an unfortunate situation (death in the family) and had planned a small gathering…read moreof friends for dinner. My husband and I arrived a bit early- parking is really tough on a Friday night in downtown Galena but we scored a spot a block away quickly. So, we headed to the bar to enjoy a pre-dinner drink. $10 Pinot Grigio and Petosi $6.00 on tap- I enjoyed the piano player for a bit! Very talented! Once our party all arrived, we will seated in one of the dining rooms. We started with sharing saganaki, because this is what you do here. Most everyone ordered the filet, but I wanted the salmon and husband had the Greek chicken. The entrees come with a starch and soup or salad so we chose the cream of broccoli and a baked potato. Everything was very tasty and service was excellent as they work on a team - so there was always someone promptly picking up dishes etc. The meal ran about $75 pp as we averaged it out

Never been here before even though we've been to Galena many times. Always open for a first time…read more I called earlier in the day to make a dinner reservation, but no answer, but an answering machine. I left a message with a call back number asking about a reservation. Didn't get a callback, so we were a little concerned walking in at 5:30 on a Thursday evening. First thing we were asked after walking in was do you have a reservation? I explained what I wrote above and he says I think we have a table, no waiting. We usually prefer a booth, there was an empty booth next to our table, so I asked if it was available, was told that had a reservation. We settled into our table, ordered drinks and an appetizer. Then a staff member came over and offered the booth as the reservation was running late. We stayed put, placed our dinner order and relaxed. My partner ordered the small prime rib, I opted for the Greek style Cod. We both chose baked potatos. Our appetizer Greek feta with kalamata olives and tomatoes was very good. We opted out on the salads that came with our meals, but as the restaurant rotated customers we heard several offers for lentil soup instead, sadly not to us. Our meals came, great job with timing the different meals looking great. The medium-rare prime rib was great on top, but the bottom had a 1/8" deep sear that was a surprise. My Greek cod woke me up to a new version of the meal. Very Good and worth coming back for! The room was twice greeted with the exciting display of flaming saganaki, if you've never seen or had it, it's a great display and everyone nearby gets to feel the heat. The small prime rib was larger than any we've had elsewhere, but should have been more carefully cooked as the restaurant was not at capacity. Overall a nice restaurant, you have to love Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin music. Our server was very good, but missed offering the soup. I guess if you're calling for a reservation, call after 4:00 pm during serving hours. Worth returning to try other offerings.

The food is always amazing, always fast no matter how busy, service is quick, they are very nice no…read morematter who has served us, lived in galena my whole life and never had a bad experience old owners or new. The vibe in the building is adorable, comfortable, and homey. but ALWAYS make a reservation, they're a small establishment and are very good, so a reservation is necessary. and if you are planning on eating there during the summer, make sure to make the reservation weeks in advance, they're booked quick because, well it's great, and summers busy. If you are unable to do stairs though, make sure you request the downstairs area!

Located across the river from Maine St, this quaint old house turned restaurant is worth the stop…read more There is on street and public parking available. I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.

Not sure why they have a big sign that says Family friendly dining! Completely opposite of that and…read moreI will also disagree with the bloody Mary's. Not the best in town either. Family and I decided to check out galena for the first time and decided to check this place out since the galena brewing company was closed. Not sure why because the sign said open and it was 11:15 am. The food here was alright, wings didn't come out with the celery and we felt rushed. We asked for menus and he said we needed to wait till after 11 am! It was 11:15 am lol. Food is nothing to brag about, but it did the job after a 3 hour drive. I should've read the reviews before going into this place. Not a top choice if we go back. Be aware this place only takes cash and checks. No credit card payments. Found that out at the bar when I had to go pay my bill because the waiter didn't mention anything! Lady at the bar said the ATM is at the front. Terrible way to start a Galena visit. Here are some pictures of our food and hopefully this place has better management and nicer staff.

With this restaurant being located in such a charming little town such as Galena, IL, I was a…read morelittle disappointed in the service. From the get go, the lady taking our order was in a bit of a rush. My family was with me and we had a couple questions regarding the menu. I felt that our server's response was abrupt and felt like she was brushing us off to get to the next customer. The food was meh. I mean it wasn't terrible but it was pretty basic. The hubby got a cheeseburger, my daughter got the grilled cheese meal, and I got the buffalo wings. The menu said that celery and carrot sticks came with my order but I just got the wings. When I was able to finally flag down our server to inquire about my veggie sticks and dressing, she said "oh we're out of those" and was about to walk off until I quickly asked her what about the ranch? She then quickly pointed to the little square ranch container that was in the middle of the table. I mean maybe offer other things to accommodate for what's missing or at least tell me that off the bat would have been nice. We pretty much just ate our food and was ready to go right after. The name Paradise Bar & Grill is an oxymoron as we did not feel like we were in paradise.
