A few families came for the post St. Patrick's Parade festivities last weekend. My first time visiting and it was a nice experience. Lots of families there and free games/events for the kids which was very nice. We had a large booth good enough for 2 families. The place was very busy, but still had sufficient room to get around. I thought they had a terrific beer selection, really good food, and a nice atmosphere. Lots of parking for big crowds, and good service. We would come back! I am sure a fun place to watch a game too. I recommend the homemade pretzel, which is not a normal sized pretzel and the breaded buffalo cauliflower. Very tasty!

First time visit. Three of us ordered the Wednesday taco specials. Our $14+ entrees were only $8.99. Tacos came with white rice and black beans. Paid extra for avocado. 4th diner had the lobster Mac’Cheese. Amber was attentive with refills.

Station One Smokehouse

Reviewed By SAS707

The food was very good, albeit a bit too spicy for some tastes. I particularly enjoyed the pastrami which was homemade and very tender and lean. The pulled pork was also very tender and flavorful. The macaroni and cheese was dry but had a delicious flavor. The coleslaw was a bit different-it had a nice flavor but was a bit too spicy. Everything was cut to order and very fresh. Overall I would have to say the food was very good to excellent. The thing I didn’t care for was the fact that everything was ala carte which I thought was very unusual for a restaurant of this caliber where you order at a window and carry your food to very crowded tables. The meats were priced by the pound and they had 3 different sizes on the sides. I think the food was quite overpriced for this type of establishment. We spent over $100 for our family and did not leave “full.”The location in downtown Plainfield is good and they do have a parking lot. I might return specifically for the pastrami.

Uptown Tap & Eatery

Reviewed By petlovr67

Came here for lunch for the first time. Thought the place was pretty cool with the music decor and rock memorabilia places around. Food was very good here. Good portions. Got the fish sandwich and fresh veggies. Food was hot and fresh, didnt have to wait long with 4 people. Prices were very reasonable. Service was good and pleasant. Would definitely go back again if in the area.

Opera House Steak and Seafood

Reviewed By Johnz85

This place is such a good find. We started off with complimentary bread and seasoned olive oil and a couple cocktails. Had an appetizer of oyster Rockefeller, they were good. We had the fillet and a ribeye. They both were cooked to our liking along with double baked and veggies. As I said the steaks were absolutely one of the best I’ve had. We will be going back for sure

What a great place! Fresh great ingredients carefully thought out prepared to perfection! Love this place, great atmosphere!! Service wonderful!! They have a bar area, seating thru out and casual. Music fun, and staff makes sure you are enjoying your time there. We ordered meatballs and wings. Let me say... not your average wings they were Smokey, tasted and you will never find another place that makes them this way! It’s not the Buffalo style it’s their style and trust me you will love them. Now I am Italian do meatballs are in my blood and this was awesome, two nice large meatballs with sauce and crustini to sop up that tasty sauce. We also ordered the pizza with BBQ chicken and red onion so good!! The names of the pizzas are rock bands how cool and the wine list is great!! Found a wine for a vineyard we visited in Williamette Valley Oregon so that seal the deal!!!

Southern Belle's Pancake House

Reviewed By rgo1968

Typical Breakfast/Lunch place. Went on a Tuesday mid-morning so not too busy. Seated and got drinks quickly. However, most everything (pancakes, eggs, grits, etc. were lukewarm at best (given it was not that busy would have expected it to be piping hot.We've gone many times to Juicy O's in Naperville (same owner) and have done better. Interestingly enough, the Biscuits at Juicy O's are better than here (a disappointment given the "Southern .." name).

We’ve gone twice on Sunday for lunch. Both times there’s been light crowds but very slow food service. I’ve had two different Poboys and both were average. The crab cake was probably pre-frozen. This past time my husband and son both asked for burgers medium rare. Both came out well done after a 40 minute wait. Cute place but not worth the time and effort to get here.

HopScotch & Vine

Reviewed By cyndi011

Met a friend for dinner and was pleasantly surprised at the food and wine selection. Lots of different spins on traditional sandwiches, salads and flatbreads. Portions are very generous and food was made with fresh ingredients. The hummus appetizer is HUGE and good for 2-3 people. the pear salad looked fabulous. I had the chicken caprese sandwich without the bread and it was very good. Service attentive. Prices reasonable. Too chilly to sit outside but I bet in the summer it's a perfect spot.

We went here at 11:30 for Brunch on Sunday. Restaurant was already getting busy but we were seated immediately upon arrival. We ordered their Sangria which was Excellent! I ordered the Tangled up in Bleu Salad with great candied pecans and apples with roasted shallot vinaigrette dressing which was a bit spicy for me. My friend ordered the Grilled Romaine Salad with soft boiled egg, Parmesan, pickled onion and Caesar dressing which was good. Service was good and attentive.
