Chicken tenders
Betsy N.

Amazing rice that accompanied the Angry Shrimp tacos. I would order the rice all on its own!! It has a little spiciness and cheese. The tacos were very good too. Also, the amount of food was enough for leftovers!!

We went on a Saturday evening. Our server Connie came to get our drink and app orders shortly after we had time to look at the menu. She brought our drinks and took our order and was able to answer our questions and make excellent suggestions for food choices. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Backroads is always dependable with good food and service. Thanks Connie for being an awesome server and an asset to any

Went back to Backroads recently with my daughter and grandsons and I got my favorite burger I have ever had "The Bourbon Burger" and my daughter actually got the "That's My Jam" and said it was the best thing she has ever had. We had Loaded Backroads Barrels. This has to be my favorite burger place. And Lauren was our server and she was super friendly and on top of everything. She is definitely a people person!! Loved her.

STACS burger with fries
Daniel S.

Quality sports bar located in the far SW burbs. They have a lot of burger options, I got the STACS burger, which was quite good and big. They also have a pretty good craft beer selection, including a house ale even, which I got, it was a pretty good pale ale. I always like when restaurants have that. They have plenty of TVs to watch sports game, it seemed just about every NFL game was on, so a good place for viewing games. They have a bar section and several tables, lots of space. They also have their own shared parking lot with plenty of room. Idk how many other places are nearby, but this may be your best option in that area for sports get togethers.

CHILI and ONION PETALS

This was my second time here. I enjoyed the Dublin Roundabouts more than my previous burger. However my companions who had the leid burger and another order of the Dublin Roundabouts weren't so impressed. They complained about the food being lukewarm. Also the waitress put in the wrong order twice. However it was hopping with lots of people in big groups celebrating the holidays. Christmas drinks sounded great but we just had beer and soda.

MIKE BISON with SWEET POTATO TOTS
Adam O.

Really liked the food and atmosphere here. I had the Mike Bison which I don't totally recommend, just didn't have a ton of flavor and was a little over cooked. But I also tried the Decision is Yours, Rio Bravo, and the Pickle Me Elmo and all three were awesome. I loved the Philly Rolls and sweet potato tots as well. Beer menu did not disappoint!

SAGANAKI
Jeannette A.

Great place to try some new flavor combinations. We come here every year after Apple picking with a large group and our service and food is always fantastic. We have tried so many things and keep coming back, so don't be afraid to branch out.

Lai'd chicken sandwich
Melissa W.

Today my family and I had lunch and had Taylor for a server. Taylor was amazing! She checked on us just the right amount gave food recommendations and was well informed on the menu. We ordered the spring fling, two burgers, and a big pretzel. All the food was cooked to perfection and tasted great. The restaurant was full, and Kaylee was pleasant at the hostess station. We will for sure be back!

Nottt a favourite. My sister and I pulled up last year--I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap and we…read moreshared the Smoked Chicken + Artichoke Dip and the cheese curds. It ended up being a massive bummer! For the wrap, I really do hate sounding so harsh, but I don't know how else to put it other than it was one of the worst things I've had. It was soggy, cold, and smelled--not sure about the taste since I could barely taste anything except the sauce--almost rancid! I have NEVER had Buffalo sauce taste like that before! And my lettuce was super soggy and super yellow with some browning, past the regular texture + colour for this type of lettuce. I had many more pieces, but I was so in shock from the wrap that I genuinely didn't take any photos. I genuinely felt ill and I couldn't come close to finishing it--and neither could my sister when she tried to help! The dip was OK, but again, it was cold and rather tasteless. We did end up finishing it, but it wasn't generally noteworthy. It was the best out of the three items we tried, though! The cheese curds were either barely cooked and stale or very overcooked and chilled--the cheese was hard, rubbery, and really cold! They were seasoned nicely though, so we ate enough of it--especially my sister who found some redeeming factors within them! The sauce helped! Oddly enough, we were basically the only people inside, so I'm not sure what went so wrong! There was a small post-funeral or celebration of life being hosted outside (I think???? Everyone in that area wore black/dark formal clothing and looked upset), so maybe all the care went to them?? I'm not sure how it could've really been a "bad day" since it was pretty well staffed and seemingly little stress, but I'm giving a benefit of the doubt if that's my ignorance!! The employees were so sweet and bubbly, though! Interior was cute and super lively, but EXTREMELY cold LOL. Maybe that's why our food was frigid... Redeeming points: The water tasted good!! Not much more to say, just pretty disappointed! I've heard people really like it, even people I know personally, but I really cannot think about it much without feeling ill! I wish I was joking!! Plus, my sister was returning after visiting with our father, where she ordered a Reuben which was overall OK, but not really worth the price (as she reports!). Really unfortunate! Not sure if we will be returning, but we really did appreciate the kind servers and awesome environment!

Went there for lunch on Saturday. My wife ordered fish and chips and I ordered a half slab. I knew…read moreordering ribs for lunch on Saturday meant I would probably get left overs from Friday, so this is my fault in a way. The ribs were extra dry, very small, overcooked and tasteless. My wife's fish was actually pretty good. Two nice size filets. Thankfully I was able to eat one if them or I would've left hungry. The dudes were all good. Cole slaw was decent. A little too mayonnaise for my taste so I added some malt vinegar to help them out. But the waffle fries and mashed potatoes were good. Server was pretty good as well.

First off our server (Emily R) was excellent!…read more Restaurant was pretty empty and quiet for a sports bar and maybe because it was a Wednesday night. The food was interesting..... The main food was BLAND. But the sides were flavorful - here's why I think that is I ordered Chicken tenders. Which was hand breaded and came with ranch, honey mustard, coleslaw, and a choice of wing sauce. The chicken tenders - (hand breaded and flavorless), the jar sauces and jarred coleslaw and frozen waffle fries - FLAVORFUL. My husband ordered Chicken BLT sandwich - grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, bacon, Mayo, on sourdough bread - NO FLAVOR - he had to steal my honey mustard to make his sandwich palatable. Skip this restaurant and find another Also I was so put off by the kids in the parking lot that as soon as I pulled into a parking space ran up to my door and tried to sell me a candy bar - I couldn't even open my door without hitting them - they were polite and left when I said "no thank you" but I thought it was weird - also not the restaurant's fault - but just weird - maybe common here - but I'm from out of town so I was a little surprised.

I had the hitchhiker sandwich and it was light and delicious. Im just realizing now that it was supposed to have come with chips but I didnt get them. That's ok since I was enjoying the sandwich enough to not notice haha! My niece had a sandwich as well and she loved it. Several of us had side salads and they were a really good size but not much on them. Pretty standard- iceberg, red onion, croutons, dressing. My brother for a pizza and just inhaled it. Big pieces of fresh cheese on it. My parents shared a pulled pork sandwich that was good enough they ate it all. I really liked the theme of the menu. Very metal/rock and fun. The drinks were good too? I got the comfortably numb drink and it was sweet but not too sweet. I don't drink much and I really enjoyed it. The igloo had two sets of lights and only one was working. Luckily for us it was day time so no harm no foul. The $15/person deposit went straight towards the bill so that was nice. I was a little surprised the other igloo wasnt taken for lunch on new years eve but they get more action in the evening. Overall good place to go and we all had a great time! It looks to comfortably seat at least 8 people and was heated really well!

I am pleased he responded so quickly and resolved the issue appropriately.

933 Speakeasy is located inside Embers in Downtown Lockport. I loved that getting to the bar was…read moretruly an "in the know" experience. It just so happens that I visited the night of a holiday bar crawl in lockport so the inside wasn't set up how it normally would be. For being packed, we were still able to grab a cocktail table to enjoy our drinks at. The bar was decked out in holiday decor to get everyone in christmas spirits. My group got two rounds of drinks which included the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned, Figgy Smalls, Christmas in a Cup, Happiness is a Warm Puppy, Milk & Cookies, and Maple Bacon Old Fashioned. My favorites by far were the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned and Figgy Smalls. My group also loved the Milk & Cookies. The bartenders hustled to get drinks out and still took time to smoke the old fashioneds to perfection. I'd love to come back on a normal night and re-enjoy this lockport hotspot.

Ever since I learned that there was a speakeasy in Lockport i've always wanted to check it out but…read moreI didn't want to go there by myself so I finally convinced my wife to visit the Speakeasy with me. We figured it would have been the perfect way to top off our evening. For first-timers it might be hard trying to find the speakeasy since at first I thought you had to access it from the Busy Street and walk up three flights of stairs. Actually you just walk inside of the Embers building, find the elevator that's kind of hidden and take it to the Third floor. I thought that the little trip up felt exclusive already. Once you're at the third floor you are treated to a beautiful array of scenery. Exit to your left and you were treated to the bar and some great tables with a cozy, intimate setting. I'm not sure if it was open seating since there was a little podium right off the elevator so we just sat ourselves. Some speakeasies require a certain dress code to keep up with the times. This one thankfully was casual though many people dressed business casual. We actually loved how the staff dressed as well. I have to try their Japanese sex drink and I absolutely loved every ship that I took. The drinks are fairly price. They did have a food menu but it was mainly snacks and small plates that were a bit overpriced. If we're having a large Gathering they have a big private room next door. This place does have a lot of great events going on as well with their upcoming Valentine's Day event that looks really interesting. It does get pretty busy as well after 7:00 p.m. from our experience. Overall, I was excited and enjoyed our visit coming to the 933 speakeasy!
