    Great beer flights and so many choices of sandwiches. Very busy but not a long wait . Trying burger with a side and green bean app.

    If you ever find yourself in Springfield Illinois you should definitely try to go here. The inside is very rustic lodge. It is a bit crowded and loud but it feels a little like being at a rowdy family meal. The food was excellent. I had the Rocky mountain pork tenderloin sandwich with wood chips. The pork was nice and tender and the homemade chips were nice a crispy. The breading was well seasoned. It reminded me of a schnitzel sandwich. My husband had the hamburger horseshoe. His review is that it was good but how can you go wrong with hamburger on toast topped with french fries. The restaurant has speciality drinks that that are tasty and will knock you on your butt. I will warn you that the parking lot is tiny and this pal e gets pretty busy during normal meal times. All in all I will come here again.

    We always make a point to stop at Westwoods Lodge Pub & Grill whenever we're passing through town--it's a must! The food is consistently awesome, and the fried pickles this time were especially on point. Our server was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. That said, we were really disappointed to see that the mashed potato pine cones are no longer on the menu. Those were the highlight of our visits and the main reason we keep coming back. Please consider bringing them back!

    Traditional Bone-In Wings

    The inside is bigger than the photos look. The bar side of the restaurant looks more like a lodge. We had a very nice waiter who gave good suggestions. I really enjoyed the wings and got the sirarcha bourbon sauce. Wish they could split sauce flavors instead of doing all your wings one flavor. My mom got the Italian roast beef which I tried and it was good. If it had more Italian zing and less salt it would have been great. I'm surprised their fries don't have seasoning. The onion rings were also very good.

    we stopped in for a quick lunch and had a great experience. we sat at the bar and the bartender was very nice and checked on us, quick service. 10/10 recommend the portabella mushrooms!

    Carnivore, keto, omnivore and will cater to your lifestyle choices. This one really excites me.

    We had business in Springfield and tried Westwoods for lunch. We loved the decor. The food was delicious. And the service was excellent. The owner was very gracious. He stopped by our table and answered our many questions about the big game and waterfowl mounts that line the walls. We had a great time and are looking forward to returning and sampling some of the several hundred bottles of bourbon at the bar. It was a great lunch!

    Ruby and I had a great time!

    I always get a kick out of reading the one-star reviews. I shared one of them with the server, and we all laughed. I'm sure someone could have a bad time here, but it could just as easily be their own fault. We were a part of seven with no reservation, and we were immediately seated. Our seven included one toddler and an adult with some extreme special needs. Everyone was cared for, respected, and served quickly. Loved the food! I had to tackle the Tackle Box! That was fun, but a little more than I needed to eat! I'm so glad we stopped. A huge thanks to our servers, who made us feel welcome!

Thankfully we still were able to get one cider, and they had a selection of other beers. The cider was tart and refreshing, and I really like the berry mocktail, which had ginger beer, and a mix of berries in it. As for food, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich came with a lot of heat which was great. I got the dry rub version, which is spicer than the saucy version. The horseshoe sandwich is a local favorite, which is an open faced sandwich with sliced bread topped with meat (we got the angus beef), fries, and cheese sauce. It was quite heavy and creamy because of all the sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and our server was very friendly, although service was on the slower side.

There's a limited menu at the brewery, order drinks and food at counter and pager sounds to let you know when your order is ready. There's several outdoor games, jumbo Connect Four, beanbags, etc. to keep patrons amused and occupied. My chicken Caesar wrap was fresh and tasty, quesadillas reported as good. Not a bad way to spend a warm evening. I'd like to see an alternative floor outside, mini gravel not comfy when it gets into your sandals!

    Unbelievable service and food! My husband and I came in for…read morebreakfast today, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. I was looking for something with beans and originally ordered the breakfast huarache, mistakenly assuming it was a burrito. I prefer flour tortillas over corn, which started a whole conversation about how the dish is prepared. First, our waiter went to the kitchen to check on modifications, then a second waiter kindly came over to explain the traditional preparation, and finally, the chef himself came out to help! He explained that a huarache is open-faced, not a burrito, but immediately offered a perfect solution: he could custom-make their breakfast burrito using pinto beans as the protein for me instead. When the chef brought it out, it was HUGE. He took the time to explain exactly how he made it and told me to just ask for him or request the modification next time. Not only was the service incredibly attentive, but the burrito was easily the best I've ever had. It's 9 hours later and I am still full from eating just half of it! The food is amazing, the restaurant is clean, and it's clear this team truly cares about their customers. We will definitely be back!

Since I'd not been here before, I ordered my favorite dish, the enchiladas mole. It's pretty good here at Rancho Chico and the little edible corn bowls for the rice and beans are so cute.
