Before I started the 2 hour drive back to Chicago suburbs, I knew we had to check out the Machine…read moreShed. The location was very easy to find. It helps that the restaurant also has a giant sign so it would be very hard to miss the building. I entered on the side where, I think, I drove over the curb to get to the parking lot but there was no big issue. It also helps that I got the first parking spot luckily. Outside the building is very nice. My daughter noticed, and the loved, the pig in the front and the tractor. Once we got inside, she was mesmerized with everything the place had to offer. I also enjoyd how they offered a toy tractor to play with while we are ordering and eating. For my late breakfast, I had the Country Breakfast with the country fried steak, sunny side up eggs, shredded hash browns, and toast. I thought we could get the shredded hash brown casserole but must of been a mixup between me and our waitress or the cooks in the back. The country fried steak was delicious. I enjoyed the rest and it is your typical breakfast restaurant...good ole hearty food. My daughter, surprising, ate most of her food and hers + mines toast which was rare. Of course, we had to leave the restaurant with a new brand toy. She thought the one we got the table was hers to keep as well but she quickly understood that it was not and she got another toy to play with. Overall our server was nice and the food was delicious. I would return in the future if I am in the area again.

The bread and sides are generous and tasty. I have enough leftovers for at least one meal. The waitstaff are super friendly and we didn't feel rushed to leave.

Just tried the Brunch this Sunday Oct 2024, it was horrible for us. Not that much of a salad bar…read moreselection. Short for wait staff (one waiter and waitress) service suffered. Only one person working the Brunch itself and he was trying to serve sliced roast beef, sliced ham, made to order omelets and make waffles using a single waffle maker to try to keep the pan full. He tried, but one person to do the job of at least two? The gravy wasn't bad but some sort of dried rolls, hard dinner biscuits or something to use for the biscuit and gravy. There wasn't any other bread anywhere. Sort of difficult to make a sandwich with the pulled pork, not possible. Scrambled eggs and sausage, but it was cold. About everything in the pans was basically cold. No flame or heat source to keep it warm. And this wasn't long after it first opened, go figure. Cubed potatoes with skins left on. Hard, dry, overcooked and cold. This all needs some more thought and effort put into it. I will say the roast beef was pretty tender, but lacked any flavor, taste or seasoning. Even with the server dipping it in the aujus before putting it on the plate, no flavor, no taste. At $23.00 per person + tax for what was edible, not worth it to us. Not a good experience at all to for, we would not return again.

Our waitress came over in good time and took a drink order which showed up in very good time. I also asked a menu question which she got the answer to right away. As another reviewer stated it is *cold* in there! I keep a sweater in my bag for this purpose but still, I was cold. 86 outside, 66 inside (at a guess of course). They may keep the air cold to cool down that hot open kitchen. Bring a jacket or sweater. Our food came out in good time. Portions were generous. Plenty of cheese on my burger. I can understand how another reviewer mentioned the food is salty. The burger is mixed w/a GC spice blend that does seem heavy on the salt. At first it was fine, but I couldn't finish my burger. After a while the taste just stuck in my throat and was too much. May want to pull back a bit on the amount of spice blend being added. The crinkle fries were really good. Nice and crispy. My dining comlanion got the buffalo chicken wrap. Plenty of meat, spicy sauce and veg in this wrap. Trouble is the wrap barely holds the filling in and as the sauce makes the wrap wet, it inevitably fell apart. It is very tasty though, and he happily ate it with a knife and fork. Maybe a bigger wrap is available? 'Cause that portion size is excellent. Staff do seem to congregate in the kitchen area with the expediter. As the dining room got busier, we naturally saw less of our waitress but she did check in a few times and was sure to keep the water glass full and offer drink refills. The ladies room really needs a visual make over and deep clean. It does have a bit of a swampy smell. A machine by the sink, that I believe is a dehumidifier, had a light on it blinking "empty". So the tank was full of water? If it had been running, that may have helped with the smell but I don't know. It wasn't offensive, just a humid bathroom smell. The beer is good, as one would hope from a brewery. They have a selection from Irish Red to pilsners. The menu says to ask about sours. The interior is comfortable, casual with a mix of booths and tables. A couple of the booth seats are in serious disrepair (torn/split material exposing the foam cushion) and need to be fixed. A bar with high top tables is on the other side of the hostess stand keeping the areas seperate. A glass wall seperates you from both the brewing tanks on one wall and the kitchen on another wall. Restrooms by kitchen. Plenty of parking in their private lot. Those entry doors (two sets) are *heavy!
