    a variety of tacos
    Jehanzeb I.

    Has potential but there are many issues they need to fix. The restaurant is new and needs to learn how to operate a business. We arrived slightly early for our reservation and were told people were taking longer to finish eating and to come back. There was no where to wait so we waited in the car. Once we got back we were seated and ordered drinks which took 40 minutes to get. The space is small so there is absolutely no reason to wait 40 min. The drinks arrived when we were almost finished with our food. The menu is short and straightforward. We wanted to try the short rib chile but were told they ran out. How do you run out of a dish on a Saturday night at 7pm? The food we did try was good. We had 6 different tacos. The birria was my favorite. However they come on a wood board and is quite messy. One of the boards was wet like it was just washed. Why not use the taco holders on the board to keep it from being so messy? Overall good ambience. Menu is good but maybe don't run out of food? Hospitality and service would be a 1/5 but is the easiest thing to fix so I hope they get their act together. We never felt welcomed and they were unapologetic about service and wait.

    Margarita tasting

    Loved the food. Every bite was so tasty. We licked the plates. The drinks were fantastic. We had the margarita tasting and Paloma.

    Burrito. HUGE

    Fabulous lunch! The poppers were crunchy and fresh, the jalapeño cream soup is heavenly. Also had two tacos: carnitas and fried avocado. Highly recommend! Don't miss the strawberry basil mule!

    Tartini (perfect cocktail if you don't want something too sweet) and classic margarita.
    Stephanie O.

    Great options for drinks and food. Came for dinner but can't wait to try the brunch since that menu also looks delicious. Absolutely loved the atmosphere. Drinks took a bit long but otherwise the service was fantastic. Glad to have this place as an option in Morton.

    Avocado Toast

    Excellent food, friendly service, and great atmosphere! We had brunch, and can't wait to try their lunch and dinner options. Excited to have a place like this in Morton.

    Palomas, light and refreshing but oh so boozy!
    Vanessa R.

    Was really excited to try out Verandah and was not disappointed. Highly recommend their ceviche for appetizer, although the carnitas Mac and cheese were also amazing. Their birria tacos were divine in their simplicity. For dessert, we had their bread pudding, best bread pudding I've had in a long time. Will definitely be back, highly recommend! It is kind of small, so consider making reservations if you're going at peak dining hours. And don't forget the drinks!

    Met with a buddy for appetizers and drinks on Friday after work. We were seated right away (with a Yelp reservation), service was excellent, and the food and drinks were outstanding. We had their chips & salsa, and calamari. Definitely recommend each. I had El Presidente and El Chapó drinks. Each were exceptionally made by Isaac at the bar, and tasted great! The renovation / remodel the ownership has done made a great space to relax and catch up after a long week at work. Plus, it was an added bonus to see so many friends there! I will be back with the rest of my family soon.

    El Presidente
    Chrissy S.

    Food was delicious. I got the el presidente to drink (two of them!) and the Quesabirria Platter. We also shared the chips and salsa. The salsa is unexpectedly spicy but delicious. The tacos were the best I've ever had. It would be five stars but the place had loud music on which didn't work well in the small and busy space. It was our servers first night but no major complaints!

    Pork belly taco, birria taco, and Baja shrimp taco. Rice and beans
    Bri B.

    Our experience started off rocky. Our reservations were for 6 o'clock and the hostess told us it would be about 20 minutes before our table is ready. I know they are new and popular so somewhat understandable but a little frustrating. A second point off would be our waitress. She seemed disinterested in our order and anytime we ordered drinks she would set them all on one corner of the table and walk away without passing them to the respective person. I also had to ask for water 3 times to which she looked irritated at each instance. Our friends ordered chips and salsa and got theirs as an appetizer but our Chicharrón came after our entrées had arrived, and after inquiring about it. The good news is the food blew me away. So flavorful and delicious. Even the rice and beans were well seasoned and tasty. Just a warning everything is a little spicy even the beans. If you're sensitive to spice you might want to stay away from here. I loved it though. Verandah has a very cool aesthetic in a small intimate restaurant. Definitely will be back again. Hopefully the reservation issues will be worked out and the waitress will get more experience.

    There is not a modicum of sense in assigning a numerical score to a bar like this. Washington has 5…read moremain bars that I can think of off the top of my head, and which one is best will be contingent upon your socioeconomic status and existential demeanor. Small rural towns in the Midwestern US are generally wastelands in a tangible sense, that goes without saying; but there exists a more abstract sense of desolation that tends to swallow one whole if a little too much time is spent in a town so bereft of anything that could reasonably be called cultural. Disgruntled, romantically hopeless drunks like me are often inaccurately characterized as decrepit, amoral, underachieving dregs of society that have no need for anything but themselves and the bottle. Pretty much accurate, but my main point of contention with this portrait lies in the blatant falseness of the last bit. Drunks like us, we need people. We need a place to go to drink with jaded folks facing the same eternal war on tedium and disappointment that is living in a town like Washington, IL. Drunks like us, we don't go to the bar necessarily to have a good time. We go because if we're given nothing but free time in the glorified solitary confinement that is one's living quarters, we'll lose our fucking minds. The main directive of this site is completely worthless when it comes to assessing local watering holes like Parish's. If I was a random visitor, I would visit it and be thoroughly unimpressed. You probably have a bar exactly like this in your hometown, and you love it for two reasons: the staff and the regulars. Over time, you foster a relationship with the two that ensures that if you're down on your luck and have fuck all to do with your night off, you can always head down and avoid staring at your bedroom wall until you pass out. How many times have I seen two people unsuccessfully hustle me and proceed to copulate on a pool table while the couple thought everyone was outside? Once, but that's still enough to prove a point. How many times have I been inundated with whisky-drenched tales from the past of smuggling pounds of cocaine around state lines from guys with 7+ DUIs? More than I can count. Dive bars are ideal temporary residences for drunks like me because it's a way to playfully repel the malaise of untapped potential that forces one to be a glorified automaton in a small, boring town by letting the id take over and run its course. Then of course, there's the staff. Dive bar lore is rife with stupid, inaccurate adages suggesting things along the lines of a loyal bartender being better than any therapist you could hire. That's bullshit almost 100% of the time; often they're simply nodding in agreement and allowing your bleating to go in one ear and out the other. That isn't the case here. Rick is a true lifer in the greatest sense of the word and will bend over backwards to help out the loyal regulars. Lord knows he's done it for me countless times. Dani refuses to take my tips because she knows I'm perpetually broke, has gone out of her way to feed me because she knows I rarely eat, and has, along with her husband David, a Thursday regular, taken an active interest in my problems far beyond empty regurgitation. They informally "adopted" my brother and me, because, in their own words, "you guys are exactly what I'd like our children to grow up to be like." Last Thanksgiving, when I texted her asking if the bar would be open, she responded that they would not and asked if I had a place to go for dinner. I had to work. Sure enough, she shows up with a massive plate of food and a bottle of whisky. If you haven't noticed already, I deeply love this nondescript, forgettable-to-outsiders bar. Not in the pedestrian manner that stupid fucking Toby Keith song celebrates. Drunks like us, we don't go to our local dives to celebrate temporary egalitarianism and yee-haw Saturday nights as a fun little break from our everyday life. We go to our local dives because without them, we'd have no other place to wallow in the utter senselessness of living in a town like Washington without losing our minds.

    Very disappointing experience…read more I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately both the food and service missed the mark. The drinks were good and easily the highlight of the meal. The chicken schnitzel was also pretty good, but the mashed potatoes were incredibly bland. The $14 citrus thyme hummus was terrible. It had large chunks of beans, very little flavor, and wasn't the smooth, creamy hummus I expected. We actually mentioned our disappointment to our server. The $24 chicken and broccoli pasta was another major disappointment. It tasted overwhelmingly like onion, the broccoli was basically just stems, and there were no mushrooms, despite the dish being described with mushrooms. For $24, I expected much better. Our server never came to check on how our entrees were. Could have been because we raised concerns about the lackluster hummus. She was quick to bring us our check. Our total was $85.50 before tax for two people, which is a lot to spend when multiple parts of the meal were disappointing. They did offer us 20% off a future visit, which I appreciate as a gesture, but honestly, we won't be back. A discount toward another meal isn't much incentive when the first experience left us this disappointed. Good drinks, decent schnitzel, but disappointing food overall and poor follow-up from the server after we raised a concern. For the prices, I expected significantly better.
