My wife and I got hooked on Beef O'Brady's while vacationing in Florida. The neighborhood pub chain that opened in 1985 has over 225 locations in 23 states, nearly 100 of them in the company's home state. We got acquainted with this Irish-inspired restaurant with a sports bar flavor at its Sarasota location. When we learned that Beef's only location in Illinois was in Bourbonnais, located off l-57 on our way home to Chicago, we decided to make a lunch stop. Located at 547 Main Street Northwest, Beef's already has become a hangout for Chicago Bears fans who are visiting the Bears' training camp down the road. My wife chose fish and chips while I had a 12-ounce Angus burger with four slices of smoked ham, four slices of American cheese, lettuce and tomato and a bowl of Beef's homemade chili. Beef's is a popular destination for sports fans with its TVs and sports memorabilia. They seem to really enjoy Beef's hand-crafted sandwiches, including the prime rib, roast beef garlic melt, Original Reuben, California turkey melt, Cuban and Philly Cheese Steak. And Beef's offers pizza, too. We can only hope Beef's will open more locations in the Chicago area. The sooner, the better.

I needed to get out of the house for awhile. Went to the local bar but didnât feel like drinking. So, I ordered up a Diet Coke, some free popcorn, and started playing the TouchTunes. With Ms. Allison behind the bar it is always a good time. Come by and enjoy a Friday night. Good people, good drinks, great service. The bar pizza isnât bad also.

In Manhattan in 1965, there was no place where people could go out to meet friends and make new ones in an environment that was at once both relaxed and yet exciting. Then, Alan Stillman opened Fridays as a way, he said, "to meet Pan Am stewardesses." Sud

Dinner started good. We got a margarita and boneless buffalo wings. Both were very good. Dinner was a different story. My husband got the steak and parmesan crusted chicken combo. The steak was so tough in parts that he couldn't eat it. His chicken was "mushy". I got the parmesan crusted chicken and shrimp combo. My chicken was dry and the shrimp kind of soggy. Broccoli, mashed potatoes and fries were ok. We won't be back :(

Fourth of July, looking for a nice place to have dinner, came across one of our favorite restaurant's chain. The parking lot was crowded, so we expected to have to wait a while to be seated; however, we were met by a very friendly manager, who was able to get us a table with a nice view.Our server, Amanda was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. She helped me choose between two meals and I was glad she did. Next time we are in this area, we certainly be stopping by.
5. Bull's BBQ
Reviewed By BobandMaryEllen
We have been here several times and each time the food impresses us. Even a simple cheeseburger is phenomenal! It's huge piled high with your favorite toppings and if you throw in a side of fries they are fresh cut tasting just like homemade! The beef brisket and the pulled pork are excellent as well! This isn't a diet place but you can't eat on Lighter Side by getting a nice grilled chicken sandwich. Call ahead with your order so it's ready when you get there, or just dine in. They also offer catering which I have yet to use but I've seen some people that have utilized their catering and they are impressed. You have nothing to lose by trying this place!

Great taco platter. I got the one with steak , it was very good, well cooked, and tasty. Itâs also Mexican beer night. $2.75 for a 12 oz bottle. I prefer the Corona. Ken the bartender was extremely friendly and very attentive. They had a variety of beers on tap and enough tvâs so that any game you wanted to watch was available to you or your group. Recommended for all!

We stuffed ourselves at this unpretentious bar and grill. My husband had corned beef hash, eggs, and two fluffy pancakes. I had the country fried scramble. It came in a pasta bowl, with country potatoes on the bottom, then a layer grilled onions and chunks of chicken fried steak, scrambled eggs, finally topped with sausage gravy. I dug in, planning to leave half of the potatoes in the bowl, but my resistance broke down. Good gravy! The coffee was also quite good. The atmosphere is part coffee shop, part local bar.

This place has an extensive menu and if you donât see something you like, you can make your own burger. With burgers they offer fries, curly fries, tots, and chips. The burgers are amazing and come out of the kitchen quick. It is a family and kid friendly restaurant as it gets a little loud. The location isnât the best and itâs really dark in the parking lot but if those are the only gripes, Iâm okay with that :)
