Went here for lunch, great sports bar food. Every type of sport you can imagine was show and under 30 plus TV sets. Free popcorn to help wash the beer down. I will definitely be back.

Parkside Pub

Reviewed By Allen21096

When we had been last at the Parkside Pub, we learned about the upcoming 36th Annual Turkey Testicle Festival that is held in downtown Huntley on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The festival is outside and the Parkside has the setup pretty much down. The festival starts at 1100 hrs. and is held in a large tent behind the Parkside Pub. There is a stage inside where there are bands - mostly country - play during the day. We arrived a bit after 1100 hrs. and found a close parking spot. You enter through the patio for the Parkside Pub and you buy sheets of tickets for beer and drinks. As you walk in the patio, you’ll also see souvenir t-shirts and sweatshirts for sale, as well. There are a number of port-a-potties around the tent and inside. There is no seating, only the high tables where you can stand. There are a couple of different beer stands and you pay for the beer with the tickets. You can also get cans of soda there, as well. We found only one stand for food which seemed a bit surprising. Sure enough on the menu board, were “turkey nuts” for $5.00. For that you get about a pint-sized styrofoam cup of deep-fried turkey testicles. There was hot sauce, mustard and catsup as well. The turkey testicles had the consistency of hot dog, but though a cliche, they did taste a bit like chicken. To be perfectly honest, “not bad!” The band that we heard was excellent. The entire staff was very efficient, friendly and helpful. I spoke with the food stand’s operator. I had to find out the answer to two questions. The first being, are there only two testicles per turkey. The answer was yes. The second question was how many pounds of turkey testicles are sold during the day. The answer - 1,200 lbs. Or a lot of turkeys! Hey, if you’ve never been, it was fun to go and to try the specialty at least once in your life!

Jameson's Char House

Open To Public -- Part Of A Small Chain Of Restaurants And Tripadvisor Lists Some Of The Others -- This One Has Been Here For 1 Year.

Reviewed By Deaconessk

Jameson’s has good food and atmosphere is scenic looking out the window. The have specials. Their chicken artichoke is very good and their burgers, prime rib sandwich and Phillip sandwiches are good. Even thought the Huntley one is within Del Webb perimeter, don’t be fooled it’s open to the public. Pricing is ok altho I wish they would come down a bit in cost cause there’s a lot of seniors who frequent and lots of families.

Nikko's Tavern

Reviewed By Calmac3

Headed home after a trip downstate, we stopped here for lunch. Extensive menu and generous portions. Reasonable prices, country western motif, booths, high and low top tables, lots of tvs. Friendly wait staff. We got the pretzel stick appetizer with bacon sprinkled cheese dipping sauce, cheeseburger sliders, and my husband also had the chopped steak entree. He also had clam chowder, loaded with clams! Popular place with off street parking.

Art & Alma's Dining

Reviewed By Greg D

Four of us went to A and A's last night (sat) night. We arrived shortly after 5:00 and were told there would be an hour and 20 minute wait. The bar was full, so we went to Motts where we could all sit down. An hour and ten minutes later, we were called that our table was ready. We were there in a few minutes and seated. We waited about ten minutes for our waitress who came and took our drink order, and gave us salad bar plates. A few minutes later we ordered three filets and a ribeye. We then waited an hour and fifteen minutes for the steaks to arrive. We watched five tables come in after us, order, get their food, and leave and still we had no steaks. Finally, the food arrived, and all four steaks were luke warm. We thought about sending them back, but did not want to sit there any longer. The flavor and tenderness were good, but cold steak is cold steak. It appeared the steaks had sat for an unusually long period of time and they lost their heat. Very disappointing for what we paid. We will probably try this place again, but will go when they open at 4:00 or at 7:00 when the rush dies down. People around us were raving about the prime rib. No idea how a place that small can have cold food unless the waitress just dropped the ball.

Reviewed By oceanside-Mary

We were two couples going to this fairly new restaurant for the first time. The restaurant was immaculately clean, spacious, nice furniture and very friendly service. Food was delious. We had the artichoke dip, lasagna, brisket and fish fry and everything was wonderful. Soups were homemade. Specials change from time to time. Our server Katlin was very accommodating. Highly recommend and we will be back.

I had a plain lettuce salad at home and wanted more for dinner. Stopping by to pick up chicken strips really made my dinner complete.I've since tried the broasted chicken too.

What a gem! Super friendly staff (Hi Dana!), awesome eggs & sides, quaint setting, and you end up chatting with other tables...even customers are so friendly! Breakfast & lunch only and cash only. On an interesting curve on Rt 20 & easily can miss - cuz it looks like a gas station. But don't blink... it's a gem of a diner & we've started going regularly. About 10 minutes door to door from our home in Del Webb.
