Looking for a little more as far as craft beer selection and prices. Definitely good food. Nice location. We'll stop back again.

Spent the day at Santaâs vintage. Stayed at holiday inn so we figured weâd stay close for dinner. We havenât ate at a bennigans in years as our local one close 10 years ago. I have to say we thought it was mediocre at best. We both had the (spicy chipotle burgers). Over cooked after being ordered med rare, and basically flavorless. Wish they would have been more flavorful. Fries were ok. Plus side was that each kid ate free for every $12 entire which wasnât hard to do as most meals were at least that. We would try again if we were in the area. Service was good and waitress was tentative.Thank you for your feedback. we are sharing your comments with our staff and working hard on retraining our grill cooks on proper cooking procedures to meet our guest requests. We loved serving you and want to thank you for being our guests.

It was my husband's 60th birthday, and this is one of our favorite restaurants, so I booked the third floor for a buffet. Chef Maria helped me plan a buffet so that there was food that people with 6 different food sensitivities could have- vegetarian, extreme Celiac's, migraines, and three different food allergies. It was PERFECTLY adapted so that everyone had more than one option that they could eat in appetizers, main courses, AND desserts. My husband's and my favorites- the braised short ribs with feta spinach ravioli and the corn chowder- were delicious as always and made new fans out of the guests that could try them. I found the price VERY reasonable- with an open bar it was about $40 per person when we added the wonderful empanadas at the last minute (they come in regular with beef and gluten-free with chicken). Our bartender/server, Niko, was outstanding and all of the other staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. The third floor is vintage and has good views, plus a back balcony over the river. We had 22 people for sit-down dinner and it was rather loud at each table- although it's rated for at least twice that, I think it would be REALLY loud.We so loved being a part of your celebration! Thank you for thinking of us and for being patrons of our restaurant. We were happy to accommodate your needs and those of your guests. If you ever have a need for an event again in the future, please think of us! We would love to host you again.

I love this quaint pub/restaurant. There's stone and wood, a tin ceiling, stained glass, Celtic crossed, Irish maps...and Cubs memorabilia. There's a long bar, high top tables, a private dining area by a stone fireplace, and an outdoor patio with a river view that welcomes dogs. And the food is delicious, generous, and high quality. My husband had the McNee burger---over a pound of black angus with a fried egg, Cheese, and bacon not to mention the normal garnish. And no, he couldn't finish it. I had a normal burger with Swiss cheese and home cut fries...just delicious and yes, I finished my burger. With two beers and two Cokes (in real Guinness pint glasses) out total bill was just over$30. There's so much on the menu from wraps to sandwiches to ribs to Friday Fish Frys...there's brisket and steaks for dinner...we just have to go back!
6. River Street Tavern

We had bicycled by the River Street Tavern earlier that day while on the Fox River Trail from Elgin to Algonquin. Contemporary feel and newly refurbished (early 2017), We were greeted warmly by their hostess and offered a seat in the spacious dining room or a table in the bar. We chose the bar and were seated promptly. Many large flat screens carried the games. THe interesting selections of local and national microbrews was great.The menu is full of familiar sounding bar eats, BUT the quality and freshness of the ingredients was spectacular, The preparations and recipes were imaginative and wonderfully executed. We started with Chicken wings for our App. WOW!! they were clearly fresh never frozen, Smoked in house then finished in ther Broiler/over with your choice of sauces. We went with River Street Heat, a medium hot wing sauce, perfect. Our entrees were prepared from fresh ingredients also with their creative twist. Grilled chicken with Pineapple Mango Salsa was delicious. My shrimp tacos were as good as I have eaten anywhere. The gracious owner stopped by and introduced herself. Very hands on. This is not typical bar fast food, but great food prepared to order from scratch, Our patience with the kitchen was well rewarded. We look forward to returning soon!!

Went for dinner and was one of only a few tables. Had the small filet which was good but too expensive. Everything was good, not great. Wish them luck on staying open.

Lots of space, attentive staff, great outdoor area but the food is not worth returning for. 2 out of 4 orders had to be redone, plus the tasty ribs were served lukewarm, and flat bread was soggy. The special Mai Tai's were great and offered 2 extra for the inconvenience of the food issues we had. Dog friendly.

Have visited a couple times a year over the years. Usually good food and service and sometimes good prices. Gotta give points for anyone that serves tots as an alternative to fries.Recent visit was for Friday fish fry, nice outdoor seating. Fish was a bit disappointing - thin, dry, breading not good. OK, not great. I admit it may be partly personal preference on the breading, but I've had much better fish fries in the area. Probably wouldn't have written this somewhat negative review, but service was also disappointed. Dropped off check and didn't pick up for another half hour. They were somewhat busy, but other servers were zipping by and moving fast, ours was mostly talking to friends at the bar. Again, we've enjoyed eating here before, or I would have given a lower rating. Will stop back in again sometime and give them another chance, but not for fish fry.

We stopped at this Squire in Dundee. We prefer it to the one in Crystal Lake. First of all, the menu includes pizza and many more choices that were removed from Crystal Lakeâs menu.. Secondly the food is better tasting. And finally, the location is scenicâ-the Fox River flows by and thereâs plenty of outdoor patio. Thereâs daily specialsâlike todayâs half-price burgersâmy husband is enjoying their Parmesan garlic hamburger right now. My BBQ cheddar bacon chicken sandwich is generous and delicious! Extensive menu and great appetizersâ-wonderful flaming saganaki!!! Great fireplace, free popcorn, bar, and off street parking lot.

We stayed on the sandwiches side of the menu, so canât really comment on the entrées here. However, all of our sandwich-type meals were excellent. The âBeyond the Burgerâ veggie burger was enjoyed by the vegetarian in our group. The kids both had grilled cheese sandwiches and fries, and were happy with their food as well (and with the crayons and kids menus for coloring). One of our party had the Southwest Chicken Salad, which was ample and very tasty. I had the Shrimp Poâ Boy with blackened popcorn shrimp and fries. The ban was overstuffed, as Poâ Boys often are, so I ate a few of the popcorn shrimp tp better close the bun. The Creole Sauce made this sandwich very tasty!
