We've eaten here at least 20 times, get the gift cards during Christmas for a discount and I would get the chicken fingers because they're so meaty and juicy...my favorite is the coconut batter with the apricot and hot sauce...so satisfying, along with thee Pecan salad...

Everything was great! I love the fish. It always comes out hot and crispy. Love it! My wife always gets the appetizer portion of the chicken fingers. It doesn't come with any sides but it's more than enough for her. She always brings some home. Our server was Cara. She was awesome! As soon as we were seated, she was there with menus and taking our drink order. She was fast getting our drinks and our food came out very fast and it was hot and crispy. We love the Village Tavern and we stopped in whenever we're in the area. Great Place!

My friend and I came here for dinner last night. It has a very calming and classy atmosphere. They…read morehave a pretty extensive drink menu, which includes beer, cocktails, and wine. I love the variety of their food menu! They have steak, salmon, chicken, pork, shrimp, duck, lamb, pasta, and some really nice appetizers. We ordered the charcuterie board and thought it was the perfect size for the two of us. Not many places offer duck, so I had to order it for dinner! The duck leg comes with carrots and duck fat roasted potatoes. It was incredibly delicious and tender. The flavor of the sauce was rich and paired great with the carrots and potatoes. Only thing is I did think some of the prices were a bit high compared to some other places I've been that serve similar quality food. Our waiter was nice and provided good service overall! I think this would be a cute spot for a date night.

I heard about this place on a Podcast so I decided to give it a try for our Anniversary. We had…read morereservations but it probably was not needed for a weeknight. We were seated immediately and greated by Marc our server who was amazing. They have an extensive wine and bourbon list as well as a variety of crafted cocktails. I had a Buffalo Trace Old Fashion and my wife had a Pimms Cup. Both were very good . Since my wife is Gluten Free,they have a large selection of items to choose from . Started with the Burrata appetizer and an order of baked oysters. Delicious! For our main entrees we had the Shells on Shells pasta which was loaded with seafood but my wife was disappointed that the pasta was not shell pasta. I had the Shrimp Bruschetta which was loaded with shrimp and tasted amazing. Portions are huge but they were so good we had no leftovers .lol. For our Anniversary they surprised us with some gelato and I had to try their famous Bourbon Pecan Pie. Very good but I brought half of it home. We ended the night with an Expresso Martini. This is truly a hidden gem located in downtown Roselle.

Our waitress was very friendly and quick to come get our order. We ended up starting out with the cheesecurds and I have to say, they're some of the better ones I've had. The batter was thick enough and I got a full arm length of cheese pull. Very impressed! I also got the cowboy chicken wrap with tots. The wrap was packed with chicken and cheese and quite tasty. The tots had a nice crisp to them, just what I wanted. Overall, the place has a very fun atmosphere for kids and adults. There's always something to keep you entertained from the planes inside to the ones outside. Staff was also very friendly and service was quick, especially given how busy they were. Would recommend trying them out.

From the moment you walk in, the staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. There's plenty of parking, which makes it easy and stress-free to visit, and the restaurant itself is always spotless and well kept including the restrooms. One thing that really stands out for our family is how autism-friendly and understanding the staff are. We have an autistic son, and the team here has always been patient, kind, and very aware of our needs. That level of understanding means so much to families like ours and makes dining out a truly enjoyable experience. The food is absolutely delicious. The steak is incredible juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. It honestly rivals some of the best steakhouses we've been to and no I'm not afraid to admit that. The salad bar has tons of fresh options, so there is something for everyone, and everything is well stocked and presented beautifully. Now then sangria is fantastic. It's refreshing, light, and perfectly balanced, not overly strong, which actually makes it even more enjoyable to sip with a meal. Between the welcoming atmosphere, clean space, amazing food, and thoughtful staff, this place is a gem. We will absolutely continue coming back again and again. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great meal and a restaurant that truly makes guests feel comfortable and valued. You won't regret coming!

The meats are genuinely impressive, flavorful and abundant, and easily the reason to go. The salad bar is more functional than memorable, but that almost feels beside the point.

Had kind of a mixed experience with this place…read more The food was mostly the food. Like some other people have commented, it is on the pricey side. Is the guac $15 good? No. However, the items I expected to cost more were good quality.The flavors were great and everything was cooked well. The octopus was especially well handled and tender. The dessert we had was also fun and flavorful! Really enjoyed that aspect of the experience. The service was mostly decent. The waiter came by to check on things a bunch and the food came out fairly quickly. That was a good thing since like a lot of Mexican places, this one does not offer free chips and salsa. They were slow to refill drinks... that were not alcohol. I definitely got the feeling their bottom line depended on upselling liquor. It felt like we were an inconvenience asking for more water. The place was packed, so we were expecting some amount of noise. We also understood we were there on a Saturday when most people are out for a sloppy good time. At almost exactly 9:30pm, they turned the music up to insanely loud. It was impossible to hear anyone in our small group. Again, I got the impression this was for the benefit of the people drinking massive amounts of alcohol. Even though the food was good, this place is more interested in Instagram picture spots and drink sales than the full dining experience. If you are not there for TikTok video of flaming/glowing drinks or Insta pics by the flower wall, it is not worth your time.

Thursday's specials included $1.49 wings and tenders. We ordered a breaded mushroom appetizer, tenders, and fries. The service was great and the food arrived in a timely manner. I did find the food lacking in seasoning. The preparation was adequate, but the flavors were somewhat bland, perhaps more suited for a child's tastebuds. I would recommend the mangy bbq sauce found that to be my favorite of the ones i tried. Overall, the food was average and could benefit from a bit more seasoning to enhance the taste in my opinion. I had considered trying their pizza but reconsidered after experiencing some stomach discomfort later that night. However, I would still return for drinks and to check out their Friday karaoke nights!

I love that there are unique Southern dishes like chicken and waffles, Southern fried chicken, and shrimp and grits. The coffee is hot, strong and accompanied by cute little baskets with individual creamers. The pancakes are super fluffy and served with a warm bottle of syrup. I am not a big fan of hot sauces as I don't eat spicy foods but had to dip a bite of chicken in the jalapeno hot sauce. It was really tasty and a tolerable amount of heat. I look forward to returning and trying even more versions of waffle or egg dishes here.

Went to Southern Cafe and overall it was a mixed experience…read more I got the veggie skillet and it was sooo good--definitely the highlight, super flavorful and honestly fire. The frappe was also really good. My friend ordered the avocado toast, which she liked, but her caramel macchiato was off at first it tasted mostly like milk with a little caramel. They did fix it though, so I'll give them credit for that. Only downside was she ended up feeling like she got food poisoning afterward. The egg on her dish had a thin film on it, so we're thinking it might not have been fully cooked, which is concerning. Service itself was good and the staff was nice. Parking was also easy, which is always a plus. Good food overall, but that situation definitely threw things off a bit.

This place was great, the bar staff and DJ were great as well…read more However, some of the locals walking were a bit too tipsy and they were getting too friendly and disrespectful towards our wives after several times telling the local drunk that they were there with their husbands. The locals were still very aggressive towards us as if we were the ones being disrespectful. Before things got out of hand I had to approach those who were making the setting uncomfortable to know that we were just here having a good time. Things were okay. I live in the area and I would expect this kinda of behavior from the city but not from a suburban bar. C'mon on now, We were in search of a local bar that we could have a good time at. I was not expecting this type of behavior. To top it off I tipped in cash and left a tip on my cc cause the bartenders were good. Honestly, I did not see anyone else in that bar tipping the bartenders. The bar staff is great, just be careful with the locals.

A friend and I finally stopped in for a drink and a catch up. Originally I went inside, which is pretty divey... ok, the whole place is divey (full disclosure: I like divey!). But we ended up going out back to their beer garden. It wasn't busy when we were there (weekday evening) so we were able to enjoy a nice and chill atmosphere. The drinks are relatively cheap and the staff was friendly to us the whole time - what more could you ask for from a dive bar?! While I can't say that it is like this all the time (I honestly wonder what Friday & Saturday nights are like...) I can say that we enjoyed ourselves. In the future I don't think I'll be rushing back here, but this was by no means my only visit to Prairie Station Pub.

We stopped in for a simple breakfast, and it turned out to be one of the best we've had in a long time. I ordered an omelette loaded with every vegetable they offered, and they were more than happy to customize it exactly the way I wanted--something you don't always get at small diners. My husband had their ham and eggs, and he said it was the best he's had in years. Even the buttered wheat toast was exceptional, which really says something about the care they put into every plate. The service was friendly and genuine, the atmosphere was charmingly old-school, and the food was outstanding. We will definitely be back any time we're in the area.
