Was a great experience we had for a night out. Parent date night with no kids. Trying a new place. Had a great server that had some very good recommendations. Ordered some drinks. Came quick. Were very well made and tasty. Apps came out and the French onion soup was amazing. Ordered 2 dinners out of our norm to try and were not disappointed. Very good. And had a side of onion rings.....probably the best in the area we have had. Finished dinner with another round of drinks as well. Were not rushed out or check forced on us. Will definitely be back.

The food was good, we ordered the blackened chicken pasta, some zingers, wings and kids Mac n cheese. We left there just before 5:30 and there were only about 5 people in the entire restaurant so it was quiet with the kids The pasta had a good flavor but too much sauce! As you got down towards the end it was more like soup. My daughter ordered the mild wings and said they were delicious. They were surprisingly bigger than I thought they would be. In my opinion for 6 wings they were a little pricey at $12. You're better off getting the Zingers on Monday nights for only $9.99. you get 6 and they are huge compared to the wings. All in all it was good and worth the visit.

Came here with my husband while getting my car serviced. To my great surprise, this is a nice cozy little spot to hang out. Manager greeted us at the door and welcomed us in as it is our first time here. Our waitress Zena was super friendly and patient as we took our time to decide on the menu choices. Food was delicious. Especially the pork osso buco (shank). Tender and full of favor. Definitely spot on. My full slab of ribs (tues special) was just okay unfortunately (a bit dry for my taste and the taste of BBQ sauce was a bit off). Overall, very satisfied with this dining experience. Would definitely come back again soon.

Very nice bar and Grill located right on route 59 just south of Highway 88 in Naperville. Great place to come to watch a game with many televisions all around the restaurant. We decided on the classic cheeseburger, chicken tenders with fries and potstickers. Each were very delicious. Lots of great seating outside also on a nice day.

Been to this location a couple times now, and each time we were not impressed. Other locations seem to have their act together. The food was ok, nothing better than bar food (the chicken nachos apps were actually better than their main dishes). What really has thrown us off is the service. The times we have come in, we were not greeted by anyone at the front, and a server had to actually show us to a table (after several minutes of waiting). It's one thing if there was a wait for a table, but totally different when no one was at the front! The place was only slightly full, a few booths filled and the bar about half way full. This last time there, our server definitely didn't want to be there and it showed. She didn't want to answer questions and was snippy when taking orders. One of the orders at the table was also wrong, and she refused to even acknowledge it was wrong (the zingers platter didn't come with any sauce when we asked for a specific sauce). The sauce was later brought out as "an extra, just because". The order was wrong, please just admit fault or say something about getting it right instead of saying the order was right when it truly wasn't! Again, we could tell the waitress did not want to be there! The other thing I will say is the salad I got was brown and slimy underneath, and the veggies were so overcooked they were mushy. I didn't dare ask for a replacement after the zingers complaint. So all in all, not all the food was terrible (I'd say typical bar food), but the service has been bad at this location, or at least when we go during the weeknights.

We had an amazing experience thanks to our server, Rich! He was friendly, attentive, and made great menu recommendations. Despite the busy atmosphere, he ensured our drinks were full and our food was perfect. His positive attitude made our visit even better. If you’re dining here, ask for Rich! He’ll make sure you have a fantastic time!
