    Firecracker Shrimp
    Anakaren V.

    Like the area. Didn't try beer but I liked my martini. Firecracker was my favorite dish. I order the nachos but I wish someone had mentioned it was huge for like 2-3 people. Jambalaya wasn't spicy at all and that why we ordered it. Least favorite. Overall place was good vibes has a nice bar. Our waitress was really quiet. Would probably only be back for drinks.

    My first great impression of this place was when I called ahead and was told that they will switch one their TVs to the Cubs game so that we could watch it at the same time as the first World Cup game! The atmosphere is awesome here! I loved the dark colors and spacious seating. It's a great place to catch a game, but more upscale than a typical sports bar. Our server was great and was very friendly and attentive. We ordered calamari and then pizza and everything was delicious. Next time I want to try the poke nachos! NOTE: happy hour is 3-6 on weekdays, half price apps and pizzas. They have a huge selection of beer including some N/A choices. Definitely something for everyone. I'm glad I ended up here for the games, and will definitely be back!

    I really love Yard House and this location has such a great atmosphere with an open air dining room right by Block 59s "yard"! I've been to your house several times and I've never been disappointed in the food. It's always fresh tasty and arrives in a timely fashion. My favorite thing to do here is loaded up on appetizers! They have such a great variety of small plates, it's so much fun to get several and share! My personal favorites are the poke nachos, firecracker shrimp and sliders! This week I tried the chicken lettuce wraps and they were also delicious with a tasty peanut sauce and just a dash of heat to boost the flavor. I've also had a burger and that was tasty too. Shout out to the great staff we had this past weekend, they were fun, nice and got us everything quickly!

    Thursday @ 6:15. Greeted and seated promptly. Service was excellent. Ordered the Korean Cheesesteak (same thing I ordered last time, because it was just that good!). Hubby had tacos (one Korean chicken and one Carne Asada). Everything was delish. My fries were not hot, but that was the only downside to the meal. The rice and beans accompanying the tacos were very tasty ( they had a kick to them). Mostly rice/not a lot of beans. Yummy! I really like this place. I can't wait to try some of the other great choices on the menu; I made my husband promise he wouldn't let me order the cheesesteak again. LOL.

    I always have a good time here. The selection of beer on draft is amazing!! The food is good and there is always something new to try. I love the idea if the pick 2 or pick 3 tacos, not many restaurants allow this.

    Sat quickly. They were very busy. Really cute place. Outside kind of area where they can open a few garage doors. Love that. Not fully outside. Ordered the edamame and an espresso martini. The martini was great. The edamame was just salted. Meh. My hub got the kurobuta burger. The spicy bacon on it was good... not much flavor otherwise. Fresh burger which is nice. I had the birria tacos. Spicy rice... yes spicy lol the tacos lacked flavor. I'd try it again though. Lots of beer and drink selections.

    Busy restaurant with fully occupied tables. Visiting son and his wife. Yard House recently opened in Naperville. A welcome addition. My son had carna asada tacos, his wife had Jambalaya, husband had chicken tenders and I had a magnificent pork chop. It was tender and well cooked. We all enjoyed our food. Service was a little slow because it was busy. Noisy and a little expensive. An enjoyable meal overall.

    Oh Yard House!!! The selection of foods is massive, but the quality is sub par. I suspect that this place is most desirable for beer lovers. If so, I completely understand. We joined the waitlist online on a Saturday night around 7:45pm. The wait time was about 30 minutes. Once we arrived, we waited about 20 more minutes. Once my friends and I were seated, we waited another 10-12 minutes for our waiter to show up. Our waiter Lexy, was bomb! This review does not reflect her service. Lexy was phenomenal!!! Lexy was honest about items in the menu that were popular and those that were not so popular. I ordered the pineapple chicken and sweet potato fries. The first set of fries were served cold. Lexy quickly took care of that! My husband ordered the 20oz Ribeye with broccoli. His first set of bróccoli was burnt, so we had to made a request to replace these as well. The pineapple chicken was phenomenal! The Firecracker Shrimp, salivating!! The ribeye was mediocre ‍. I wouldn't order a steak here if you are expecting STK and above. Expect Chilis instead. The ambiance is cute. Modern. It reminds me of a mid to upscale bar. I probably won't visit this location again on a Saturday night, but I will give it another try.

    Came here for apps and drinks with friends after a class nearby. They have a GF menu that has quite a lot of options. I informed the server I was celiac/gluten free. I ordered the sunset sangria and we shared Miguel's queso dip with veggies. It was delicious and the server was excellent.

    Cumin Chili Shrimp lettuce wraps
    Teresa H.

    First time here with friends for lunch. Tried the chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer and the cumin shrimp tacos which came on flour or corn tortillas or lettuce wraps which I got. Canes with a side of beans and rice. Super tasty, better than I thought. This is in the new Block 59 location in Naperville. So many good restaurants here. Known for its extensive beer menu, did not partake, friendly server and busy for Saturday lunch but still could hold a conversation. I'll be back.

    Passion fruit mojito
    Maggie M.

    Friday Happy Hour (3-6pm) got to try some appetizers and pizza for 1/2 off. Got the Spicy Za'atar hummus came with crispy crunchy pitas. Wasn't spicy to me, but very delicious and liked the seasonings they have on the pitas. Next we had the truffled pizza, was a very thin crust and it came with lots of mushrooms. Chicken nachos was really good and very large portion. Couldn't tell from the picture, but it is like 2 big plates. Chicken was cooked very well. Lots of cheese and toppings on top of the chips. Chips were light and crispy. Also had sour cream and guacamole. Even though the drinks are not part of the happy hour (Naperville rule) had to have some drinks. We actually were seated at the bar. The bar tender Michael was great at guessing the type of drink when I asked for a sweet drink, but not too sweet. Lavender drop sweet but not too sweet. Very light too. Next had the passion fruit mojito, wasn't that strong and was like juice to me. Last had ended with the Expresso martini. Was strong and definitely help keep me up all night. Place was super packed and there were a lot of waiters for a Friday night. Definitely coming back to try the other appetizers and pizzas. Oh and need to try the Sangrias.

    First time here... and I'm incredibly impressed with everything!!!! We were able to enjoy their HAPPY Hour and let me tell you..unbelievable. From the service to the food- we will be regulars and back tomorrow!!! CJ led us in the right direction and knows how to make a great cocktail. Keep it up!!!

    Draft Beer
    Jeff L.

    A beautiful summer evening on the outdoor patio at the Yard House starts with a pint of your favorite draft beer. We had a mix of appetizers and dinners, all were delicious! The firecracker shrimp, poke nachos, and Thai lettuce wraps are all favorites. The servers were all very friendly and knew exactly what we needed. Highly recommend!

When we're in town, we hit up all the old favorites, and Miller's Ale House was on the menu on June 25th. We had dinner plans with friends later, but we squeezed in a lunch date with beer and a shared appetizer. Their wings are legendary, so we ordered 12 to go with our brews. Let's get to the review. Service was top-notch - our host greeted us with a smile, and our waiter was on point. We got our beers within five minutes, no problem. The ambiance was cozy, well-lit, and bustling with sports tv and ambient noise. But here's the kicker - we waited 30 minutes for our wings. Yeah, it was 1:30 when we arrived and the place was pretty empty, but that's no excuse. Now why did give a rating of two? Well, for the service and ambiance only. We were served our wings at 2:00. How were the wings you maybe wondering? My Husband and I eagerly grab wing flats. 'Can these bones live?' Eating those wings immediately reminded me of Ezekiel 37 in the Old testament after he saw skeletons scattered about asked, "Can these bones live?" The wings were drier than the Sahara, and the honey barbecue sauce was just a weak attempt to revive the corpse. Can these dry out wings live up to being freshly made and juicy covered up by a tasty honey barque sauce? Hell to the naw, naw naw!!! We called our waiter over explained our dissatisfaction with a request to remove the wings off our bill. We still tipped him, because hey, he's not the wing assassin. since he only served the food and it was the kitchen that prepared that saucy dressed up trash plated up real pretty. What a let down Miller's. We noticed your price increase for six wings cut in half sold as 12 pieces. If you expect customers to pay more for less than you should be serving your best, that is cooked fresh not food that is precooked sitting for hours then reheated. I did check your reviews which were not the best and gave you the benefit of a doubt despite low ratings. Would I recommend Miller's? Sure, if you enjoy eating dry wings and wondering if they'll crawl off your plate. However, to each their own, your money, your call. This economy has got me rethinking the whole 'strike three and you're out' deal. Paying more for less, subpar service, unnecessary waiting time, honey it is now, strike one, you're on out as my time and coins are valuable and restaurants are hurting so I will search for one where I can get the love I deserve.

    This review is based on my recent visit for the Lost 80s Live concert. The concert started late…read more(more than 30 min) and between each band, there was at least a 15 min break - this led to a later night than expected (as was early seen as the crowds started to thin past the halfway point). I understand the breaks are meant to drive bar revenue; however, there was limited bar staff. Unfortunately for an indoor concert, the acoustics weren't all that great. Folks around me noted the same and partially attributed this to the quality of the sound system. They noted that the sound was much better when there was an outdoor concert this past summer. There are some definite positives to this venue- location, lots of parking, pizza available throughout the show. All in all, the venue was a good host to 6! bands/performers and it looks this might be worth a visit for an outdoor concert!

I ordered one cocktail and one coke and when I got my bill was surprised at how inexpensive it was. I tried to check the bill but they didn't provide an itemized bill, only the final charge. I chalked it up to suburban pricing so I tipped well. Much to my surprise they charged my card more than what I had put on the receipt (like $10 more). I contacted them via their website and haven't gotten a response. Will not order anything from here again.

    "Sips, Ribs, and VAI-ful Vibes"…read more Came to VAI for a double date with my husband's best friend, and this place was definitely buzzing. It was packed and pretty noisy, so not the best spot if you're looking for a quiet dinner, but the energy made it feel fun and lively. The drink menu had a lot to choose from--wine, handcrafted beer, cocktails, and mocktails. I ordered the "It's Pink and It's Bubbly" mocktail, which was refreshing and cute without being too sweet. My husband went with a beer and was happy with his pick. We started with the crispy arancini and whipped ricotta with honeycomb. The arancini had that golden, crunchy outside and a warm, comforting center. The whipped ricotta was probably my favorite appetizer--creamy, light, a little sweet from the honeycomb, and easy to keep going back for. For entrees, we had the short rib rigatoni fresh pasta and the prosciutto with wild mushroom white pizza. The short rib was tender and rich, and the rigatoni held up well with the sauce. The prosciutto and wild mushroom pizza had a nice savory flavor and felt a little lighter, but still filling. I can say that VAI is a solid choice for date night, a group dinner, or when you want good Italian-inspired food with drinks and a lively crowd. Just be ready for the noise if you go during a busy time.

From the moment we walked in, the aroma and energy let us know we were in for something special. Ordering was harder than expected not because of the menu, but because I kept eyeing everyone else's plates being served. Everything looked so good. After some back and forth, we finally settled on the baked chicken, shrimp, and smothered pork chops, each with two sides. Every single bite was flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with love. The baked chicken was tender, the shrimp perfectly seasoned, and the pork chops, Fall-off-the-bone and packed with rich, savory goodness. The sides were just as satisfying classic, soulful, and cooked just right. The service was warm and welcoming, and our waitress was incredibly friendly. The ambience ties it all together relaxed, inviting, and filled with the kind of vibe that makes you want to stay a while. The Soul Spot is more than just a meal, it's an experience. One I'll definitely be coming back for.
