Great beer selection and good food. Wait staff has always made me feel welcome. The atmosphere is right just to enjoy anytime.

You can never go wrong with Warren's. The menu is gastropub fare that changes regularly but keeps several of the more popular items available. I really like their smoked salmon which is sometimes served with a mixed baby green salad and sometimes with a hearty bread and the usual accoutrements. Other stand outs: Italian beef egg rolls, pork banh mi sandwich, truffle fries, veal brat and all the beer. Serious beer menu happening with lots of locals represented like Two Brothers, Revolution, and 3F. Tons of tvs are around, there's outdoor seating, trivia nights, and live music on the weekend. read more

Warren's Ale House - Smoked Salmon - New American Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

We went to Warren's Ale House over the weekend. It's new, so I know they're still working out the kinks, but when we first got there, we were carded outside by a bouncer who didn't even greet us or say hello. He just said, "If you want a table there's over a 2 hour wait." He was incredibly unfriendly. I had posted a review on their facebook page but not surprisingly, they deleted it the next day. Guess what, they can't delete my Yelp review. The bar is nice, but the rest of the place has no ambiance or character at all. It's very plain and unwelcoming. Bar service was slow too. They had 6 people making drinks which should have been plenty for that size bar. This is a very college-like bar, which seems out of place for Wheaton. We could see the manager, through the windows to the kitchen, drinking. I can't vouch for the food. I wanted to order an appetizer but nothing on the menu looked even remotely appetizing. The appetizers were not your common bar options. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I just wanted some chicken nachos. There was nothing that even came close to that. The one good thing was the live music. The band was entertaining and there was no cover charge. read more

It's okay. Nothing spectacular that makes the place standout. The service was okay and the server was friendly. The food was good but nothing unique. The table was worn thin to the point of being sticky. The upholstery was cracked. But it was clean enough. I'm sad because I wanted it to be better. read more

We live in Geneva and met friends from Bartlett and Palatine for dinner. The service and food were very good. It was our 1st time at this place. We made it to our table first. I immediately noticed how bright the lighting was at 5: 30PM...I could feel the heat from can lighting...and asked our server if they could be dimmed. He made sure my request was addressed and they were dimmed. Less than 5 minutes later, the manager raised them to the previous level. She never came to our table to explain why the lighting needed to be so bright. I'm not sure exactly what the problem was but they were lowered again about 45 minutes later. I'm sure this manager is good at what she does most of the time, addressing costumer concerns isn't one of them. She was buzzing around, from seating people to the kitchen and bar. Way too much energy and not addressing her customers concerns. read more

This place is awesome! My friend and I went here on a whim of just looking up a good place for brews and we hit the jackpot. Open atmosphere, not overly crowded, outrageously delicious food and great brews on tap. The prices are reasonable! I would pay more for such great service and quality pub food! Do get the egg rolls and truffle fries. Dear God I have died and found heaven! read more

Warren's Ale House - My flight with guidance from my awesome waitress! - New American Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

This place is great if you want to watch sports. The food and the service are pretty much a hit or miss. We had a group of 8 and made a reservation and were seated right away. The Blackhawks game was on and there were lots of people there to eat and watch the game, so it was pretty noisy. Our waiter was not consistent and at the end of the evening we had to look for someone to bring us our check. We would have had more beverages if he would have shown up. No, we don't knock them back like some of the younger people there, but he should have checked with us. The food was spotty. The fish tacos were bland, the dressing on the house salad was hard to find, but the pork tacos and the pulled pork were good. If you have dietary restrictions, like me, the choices are pretty scarce. I had the house salad with the hard to find dressing. We all met here just to catch up and were disappointed at the whole experience. Next time we get together it won't be here. read more

I wasn't as impressed as everyone else seems to be. Our meal was quite expensive for two for lunch (they don't have a lunch menu, or least not on a weekend), and they charge $7 or $8 for an appetizer of "homemade" chips with a dipping sauce. It really was simply a plate full of what looks to be normal "Ruffles" style potato chips, and yes, they were made in-house. However, it was just too expensive for what you get. Doesn't help that they were half warm/half cold for being "freshly" made. We didn't try any of the alcoholic beverages, but, $40 later for a pulled pork sandwich and order of fish tacos at $14 by itself was just too much. Pulled pork was very good, fish tacos were just "ok" (we've had better). Unfortunately, we won't return, but the atmosphere was decent and our server was attentive and friendly. I'm sure others feel and will feel differently overall. read more

First time being hear since Red Robin closed at this location. Huge beer selection (3F Dreadnaught on draft!), great food (I had an Ale House Burger and it was huge!) and good service. Will definitely return! Not feeling bad for losing this Red Robin location haha. read more

Warren's Ale House - Ale House Burger and Cheeseburger, yum! - New American Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Living in the suburbs, it's often hard to find a place open late. Warrens was the perfect option. The server was present but not overbearing and the Riesling coupled with the apple crisp dessert was yummy! Definitely worth another visit during daylight hours! read more

This place is great! It's definitely unassuming from the outside, but inside it's got a nice sports bar feel. They have a spacious bar and a patio for sitting outside. It's definitely a popular restaurant, so if you're here on a Friday night or something, expect at least a short wait. The food is very good, with a lot of variety. I had a really hard time picking from the menu because there were so many delicious sounding choices. The beer is also wonderful. I had Off Color's Scurry on a nitro tap, which was delicious and unusual. I will definitely be going back here!! read more

I got a beer at the bar and then moved to the table/booth area. A server came by and asked me to leave since I was just having the beer. I pointed out that the area was virtually empty but he said that's their policy. My policy is not to return. read more

Warren's is a great addition to this area that is overwhelmed with mediocre chain restaurant. (Note - IF Warren's is a chain, it doesn't come across as one.) They have an outstanding beer list. I had a wonderful cask conditioned Breckenridge Vanilla Porter that was the perfect call on a chilly evening. The food menu is not huge but well thought out. Vegetarians will find a few items of interest. I ordered the fish tacos and they were very good. Four corn tacos with grilled tilapia and a delicious garnish. This was definitely a cut above "pub grub". This was a big hit in my book. Well done Warren's Ale House! read more

We came in the other night to watch the basketball games and have a few drinks. When we first walked in they had what I think was a 60 minutes episode on about dying children. It was a little uncomfortable to see this on TV when we came in for a night out. However, our waitress was great and we asked for the channel to be switched to the basketball games they did so right away. The food and drinks were excellent. They do have a somewhat limited selection of craft beers though. Over all, the food and service are great! I would come back here again. read more

I really enjoy Warrens. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun. The service is friendly and quick. I really appreciate how eager the servers and bartenders are to answer your questions and help you order...you can tell that they believe in the establishment they work for. The food is very good. I love that they offer more choices than usual bars. The Italian eggrolls and soft pretzel are amazing appetizers. For entrees, the Ale house burger and grilled cheese are different than the norm and so delicious! The fish tacos are also very good, my favorite thus far. You can tell it is a new place, but you can also tell that every employee from the owners to the servers work very hard to make customers have an enjoyable time. I live about 30 minutes away but this place has been my go to place in the recent weeks. read more

This place is a bar/restaurant in the middle of a very sterile Wheaton not-quite mall not-quite strip mall, so I went there not expecting a whole lot beyond mediocrity coupled with high prices. What I found was a shockingly decent brewpub with a great selections of beer, delicious food, and super helpful staff. I've got real weird dietary requirements which usually leave me drinking water and eating plain salads when I go out. (Which I'm fine with, don't get me wrong.) It's actually kind of rare to find a place that's so accommodating in regards to substitutions on the menu. Definitely will be back, there's TV's everywhere like any modern sports bar and this seems like an awesome place to settle in and watch whatever team is playing at the time. read more

Not good for food. Good beer, though. Stick with the beer. Server was professional, back of the house not so much.

The Italian beef egg rolls were very tasty 4 stars all day the hamburger was good size and also had good flavor, about average. 3 stars Good beer selection and decent vibe for a Saturday night the two star review was purely due to poor service. Our server acted like she could not be bothered with serving us, got the hamburger temperature order incorrect and lied about beer sampling that we did only a few days ago. As an owner, this type of service is the kiss of death when you have a decent menu but the delivery falls so short. read more

Food was mediocre but the prices were great. Italian beef egg rolls were the best of the things we tried.

Food is pretty good. Staff is very friendly. Meatloaf and down south we're good. Needs better ranch dressing.

love the beer list, love the service, love the food...i gots no complaints on Warren's. You can get 5 ounce pours for $2-3 (most things) and build a flight, so that was fun. I had a main plate, and very reasonable price for a pretty sizeable dish. Trivia on Tuesdays! read more

Great beer selection and friendly, but not pushy bartenders make this a very mellow, casual, neighborhood place to grab a drink and bite to eat. The atmosphere is your typical pub, but it's clean and appropriately lit. The only item on the menu I had were the Italian egg rolls. I was told to just order them and not to ask questions. Was that a great piece of advice! They were mini Italian beef and peppers all tightly wrapped in a crispy, fried egg roll. Calories be damned, it was worth it and I'd go back just for those! read more

Stopped in here for some appetizers and brews after a doctor appointment. Since Warren is both my middle name and my dad's name, I was genetically destined to go here eventually. We arrived just a little after 5. Not too many people in the place at 5 on a Tuesday. We were seated immediately. Service was very good but a little too hovery at first. She'd come by every 2 minutes to see if we knew what beers or food we wanted. The beer list is pretty big, 50+. Kelly ordered one beer which she's been dying to try....and they didn't have it. I tried an Ale Syndicate Unshadowed and it was very good. We ordered the Italian beef egg rolls, grilled Brie, and smoked salmon. They came out in 5-0 minutes. The Brie was very good. There wasn't enough salmon for the big pieces of rye that came with it, but it was very good while it lasted. The Italian beef egg rolls were tasty but took a while to cool down to eat them. Personally, I'd have liked them much more if there wasn't any giardinera and more cheese. Overall, a pleasant quick bite and brew. We'll be back when in the area . read more

Find a casual place, check Find a place with a good beer selection, check Find a place where the food is sports bar level, check Expect to have a sandwich that could feed a family. Expect service that is fair, we we actually had to go back to the hostess stand and get it ourselves. Oh yes, this is not a Ale House. It is in a strip mall type shopping area with some Televisions some booths and high tops. Yeah, this is minor, very minor, but an Ale House should look like a Ale House. If not, it is a grill. Would I return, yes maybe, though the service needs some training. Being greeted as if I am doing you a favor, needing to retrieve the groups silverware myself, and having a table full of men sitting 10-15 minutes in a sparse restaurant before a hello does not help. Not to mention revenue lost to the establishment. read more

We were invited to join a friend and hit up Warren's Halloween event... Since it was during the week this year, why not?! Costume contest and trivia both with prizes included! They have a pretty extensive beer list which the boy was happy about. The cider options were disappointing, but I'm ok with the cheap stuff. It was the food and the atmosphere that we were impressed with! We started with the Duck Poutine which has tater tots instead of fries now... Who doesn't love tater tots, or duck, or poutine! O. M. G! The duck confit and bacon (YES BACON too!) were great together with the tots! And there was this white cream sauce that brought the dish together with the cheese curds! Yes it was special, no we're not sure what it was! ;) The boy had the Grilled Cheese and Truffle Fries. The mix of the cheeses, pesto, and bacon (MORE BACON!) made for a really great sammich! The fries were awesome! Not just the flavoring that was added to them, but the fries themselves were well made. I had the Lamb Pot Pie... This is a little like and Irish person's dreams of Shepherd's Pie in an American Tradition! Not many restaurants actually use lamb! They made a tasty gravy that paired well with the mushrooms and beans! Some of the items are a little high in price. It's a gastropub. They offer good craft beers and great food. Even on a busy night such as Halloween with contests and craziness service was good! This makes it all worth while! read more

For being a Gastro Pub this place is Amazing! I happen to be sitting where I could see the kitchen and was very impressed with how quickly and professionally the chefs were working. I asked if the seafood was fresh or frozen and the waiter guaranteed me it was fresh. He also said they have a very strict chef who will only use fresh non-frozen seafood. I was still a little leery as it is just a pub so we didn't expect too much. We were both blown away by how amazing the seared scallops I ordered were!!! They were the Best scallops I have ever eaten! I'm a total scallop tart as I love love love scallops and I still can't get over how great they were. This is a pub right? Too loud music and a million TV's but the food is 5 star for a pub and better than some 5 star professional restaurants I've visited. I also ordered the truffle fries which are like crack they are so addicting. My friend ordered the chicken breast that was probably the juiciest chicken I've ever had and how they get it so I will never guess. Again, this is a pub and not a elegant restaurant but the food is as good if not better than many elegant places I've eaten. On top of the amazing food they have a list of 50 to 100 kinds of beer. I am not a beer person but they had a few sweeter beers that I did enjoy. I don't believe the negative review about this place now and am very glad I ignored them. read more

Went here last week and really enjoyed everything that we had. The waitress was great. The noise level wasn't too bad. And while there were TVs all around I didn't feel like I couldn't tear away from them. They had a great beer list with some ciders included. They had a few wines for the non-beer drinkers like me. And for liquor they had whiskey., heaven forbid you want something else. Biggest drawback about this place would be the menu. Its only one page and I don't remember much vegetarian past bread. So if you have someone who doesn't do variety or has restrictions it might not be the place for you. read more

We (party of 4) found this place on accident because we left a different restaurant extremely disappointed. The food at Warrens was delicious and the service was great, too. I don't remember our servers name but he was a tall male in his 20's with black glasses. He was very friendly and helpful. My husband was also very pleased with the beer selection. We will definitely be back again! We had the Italian beef egg rolls (AMAZING), Fish tacos (AMAZING), Chicken and Waffles (DOUBLE AMAZING)! Oh, and can't forget the "Not Your Fathers Root Beer-Beer." read more

Great craft brew spot in the suburbs. This bar has good food, but is probably known best for its great selection of beer, highlighting regional standards like Brooklyn Brewery and also local favorites like Warrenville staple Two Brothers. Also, the crowd here tends to skew younger around 21-30, but is family friendly as well. read more

Great beer selection, very helpful wait staff, the blackened fish tacos were fantastic. It's a pub with a lot more than the traditional "pub" type food, there's something for everyone. Try it, you'll like it! read more

As much as we ADORE the staff and enjoy coming in for the tasty food, I am absolutely SHOCKED at the stupid decision to discontinue Sunday NFL Game Ticket. WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU THINKING?!? Mullen's and Muldoon's are closed and Warren's just gave all their out of market football business to Arrowhead. No wonder the parking lot was so empty... read more

Overall great experience. Good draft beer selection with excellent local selections. Had the Firestone Walker Velvet Merlin Stout which was wonderful. The small plate of seared scallops was very good as was my wife's French toast. Great syrup especially. Service was excellent and attentive. I'm very happy to have a quality gastropub in the area! read more

What a disappointment! Stuffy crowd and poor service. They do have a nice selection of drinks but don't leave the bar and try to eat there because you will be sitting forever with no service and if you talk to the manager about it you will see why a place that is a rather unique find in this conservative area is only half full because she is rude, unprofessional and almost threatening. Come on guys, surely you can find a better manager! read more

This is our favorite restaurant in town. Wait staff is super friendly, the drinks are very strong, and the food is excellent. It is a bit loud, has a sports bar atmosphere, there are TV's on, etc....but that's part of why we like it. The pulled pork is excellent & the Italian Beef egg rolls are to die for. Love coming here. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Place was pretty empty ... Nice inside and lots of TVs. Great place for a sporting event. We had the Italian beef egg rolls. OMG. Da bomb!!! Seriously. I would go back and order as my entree. So delicious and perfectly fried. My boyfriend ordered the Brazilian beef. And I ordered ale house burger. Both absolutely delicious !! Great variety on tap... And nice atmosphere. We will be going back for sure!!!!! read more

Great place!! Hubby had the Italian Beef Egg Rolls and the Border Burger. I had the Bavarian Pretzels and a spinach salad. Tried a bite (okay, a couple) of the hubby's Italian Beef Egg Rolls appetizer and they were incredible. He loved his burger. The pretzels were homemade, fresh baked and the pimento cheese was scratch made and mustard was excellent. Salad ingredients were great but could've used a couple more dashes of the vinaigrette. Service was excellent. Very friendly & knowledgeable waitress w/ good timing. Beers: nice selection!!! LOVE that I could order little $2 sampler draws. They carried a couple of Bells beers-which we enjoy. Excellent experience: will go back when I'm out that way again!! read more

Booth seats below a television, nice. French fries and truffle fries with our dinner... bland. Too bland even with sauces or ketchup. Turkey sandwich and tacos... so-so. Most importantly, mixed drinks... disappointing. Ordered wine and it was served half a cup for over $7. Tad pricey for a bar. One visit is enough for me. read more

We've been meaning to try this place ever since we moved to Wheaton in August. Well, a few Friday's ago we were finally able to make that happen. We showed up around 6pm on a busy Friday night and were greeted by two nice girls right when we walked in. We only waited about 10minutes before a high top opened up by the bar. Typically the high tops in the bar area are our favorite places to sit in a place like this, and Warren's was no different. After we were seated, we probably waited 15minutes or so before our server came to greet us. This was concerning to say the least, however as soon as he showed up, he was super apologetic and promised us that our experience was going to be great. It was great to hear him apologize and promise us a wonderful experience, and he certainly delivered. I ordered a whiskey flight and my fiancé went with a cider beer. I really enjoyed all three of the whiskey's, however I can't remember exactly which ones I went with. I think it was something like $10 for the flight, and I thought that was a great deal. For dinner, I was feeling extra childish if you will, so I went with the bacon grilled cheese. She went with either the chicken sandwich or the portobello melt, I don't remember which. However, we both REALLY enjoyed our meals. Our server obviously put our meals in with priority, because we literally had our food within 7minutes of ordering, it was crazy! The food was piping hot, which is my favorite, so that really made it great. Overall, even with the rocky start, our server really made a point to make sure we had an enjoyable experience and it turned out great. The restaurant is loud and seems to be decently sized. It's sort of plain looking inside, they have plenty of TV's, probably about 20 bar stools, and high tops surrounding the bar area. They also have plenty of booths and free standing tables throughout the restaurant. It's reasonably priced and the food seems to be prepared fresh. If you're looking for a casual night out and some comfort food, I'd definitely recommend giving Warren's a try. read more

Decided to stop here for a quick lunch. Snagged a seat outside which was nice on a beautiful day. They have a lot of beers on tap and I wanted something light and summery so I got a Buckledown Cactus Pants. I think this is my new favorite beer now. For food I decided to try the Impossible Burger (Vegan) . So it was pretty strange because the point is that it's a meatless burger that looks real meaning it has that sort of pink bloody center. Honestly it really did taste like a regular burger accept for the texture was a little soft. It was good but being that I'm not vegan I still think I would prefer a traditional burger. Also $14 was a bit expensive for what it was. Dave got the Mahi Mahi fish tacos which he said he liked because it tasted fresh and the fish was seasoned well. They do have fresh cut fries which I would stick with over the side salad you can pay to upgrade too. It was like the tiniest saddest side salad and was not worth anything extra. read more
