I'm afraid I have to write an update. I don't want to leave a poor review. Not for a small business and not in my small-town area. But the woman owner/manager was AWFUL to me the last time I was in there. And I've heard she does that to folks. That my experience with her, though specific, isn't unusual. I'd been SO excited to meet her, but she thought I was making some political statement or Covid statement or something, because I was wearing a mask while having a drink and waiting for my to-go food. I was NOT making a political or Covid-statement. In fact, since I wear a mask, I'd purposely worn a goat-themed mask IN CASE I MET HER. Which I had hoped to do! But in any case, she didn't care why I was wearing it. Just went off on Covid, on vaccines, on what she does and doesn't do in terms of all kinds of things I hadn't asked about. And when I say "went off," I mean that in the middle of it, she turned to another customer and asked, "How much is she [me] going to take?" She knew what she was doing. Anyway, I got my food. I left crying. I cried all the way home. Usually, I just cry watching sappy TV/movies. The food was good. I'll never go back. It's not about the mask. I didn't bring it up, and I don't care what anyone thinks me wearing a mask. I don't comment on other people's appearances. There was no cause for her to comment on mine. Especially not for something smaller than a scarf that doesn't do anyone else any harm. No one needs to share their opinions or assumptions with me. Anyway, from 5 stars to something much two. And the two is for the quality of the food and Jim, I think, is his name. Whatever his opinions of me, he was kind, and the food was good. A real disappointment BG's turned out to be, though. I would have been there every week. Instead, I happily eat elsewhere. read more

BG's Grub & Pub - The hat and mask I was wearing. Because I was so excited to meet the owner. Who hated me on sight. - American Near Me - Bunker Hill, Illinois

Food was pretty good. The dinner special tonight was a 10 ounce New York strip for $14! Service was pretty quick but the salad was served before the appetizer and the appetizer was served before the salad was finished and then the entrée was served while the salad and the appetizer were still unfinished.. The atmosphere is nice and warm, decorated nicely! read more

We love BG's, they're a great addition to a small town. We always try to support them when we can because they deserve it! The owners and staff are great people, and hard workers. The restaurant is beautiful! The tables are done beautifully, I love the lighting and decor throughout, it gives upscale but homey vibes. The food is always fantastic and authentic, I was stuck on the BG burger for a while, and I don't even like burgers too much but that's a 10/10 burger! I got the steak sandwich, and it was very tender and delicious. The sweet potato fries were seasoned perfectly, and the dessert nachos are homemade and always a hit! That hillbilly bread is also amazing! The cheesiest bread ever BG's is a must for a destination or local dining! read more

Winner! Winner! and I didn't even have a chicken dinner. What I did have, was the BEST, Jalapeño Burger that I have ever had and I have eaten a lot of them. This little grub pub in a small country town, totally blew me away on my first visit. I can tell you now, I will be a regular at this pub and if this pub were in STL, there would easily be an hour wait for a table. My meal this evening basically consisted of my favorite thing and I can sing praises for them all. I started out with a Manhattan, I needed liquid refreshment to enjoy as I read over the menu. To my surprise, it was up to this city mans standards and I was delighted that they did not use a maraschino cherry for garnish. As I read the menu, one of their appetizers is a favorite of mine, so I ordered the, Brussels Sprouts. The first word on the menu to describe their sprouts is, Incredible! and I agree. They are loaded with crispy bacon, pecans and tossed in a balsamic glaze. As if that is not enough, they are then covered with freshly shaved parmesan cheese. I only ate about two-thirds of mine and took the other third home and made an "incredible" egg scramble the next morning. I love jalapeños so much, I'll add them to anything that I can. So it will be no surprise to know, my favorite burger is, Jalapeño. This one at BG's Grub & Pub is now my all-time favorite. What sets it high and above the others is the creative way it is prepared and presented. Not only do they use my favorite cheese, Pepper Jack, they use it in two different ways. In addition to melting it over the burger, they fry it into a disk and add it as topping. That extra flavor of the cheese and the crunch, along with a fistful of fried jalapeños on top of a perfectly grilled burger, made my taste buds dance with excitement. My taste buds had barely caught their breath from dancing a jalapeño jig, when dessert arrived. Honestly, I was stuffed, but had to see these, Cheesecake Nachos. OMG! I am so glad I overindulge. Decadent is the only word that comes to mind to describe them. How else could you describe crispy tortilla wedges coated with cinnamon sugar and topped with cheesecake cream and caramel drizzle. Next time I am adding sliced pecans for the minimal uncharge. Customer service was attentive and friendly. I was fortunate enough to chat with the owners and admire their enthusiasm even during this pandemic. 2021 is the year I turn a milestone age and as of now, I'm thinking of renting their private dining room for my celebration. When: January 7, 2021 Why: Dinner & Exploring beyond my new hood. read more

Oh... my... yumminess!! This place is a hidden treasure for the tastebuds! I was told to go for the cheesecake nachos and was not disappointed with anything! From appetizers to dessert, this is the place to take an extra stomach, or you'll leave with a lot of boxes like I did. Lol! All of my pictures are after tasting because the smell alone made our mouths water and we couldn't wait. read more

Not sure why it's taken so long for us to visit, but our first time did not disappoint! It was full, but we walked right in. Nick, our waiter arrived promptly and let us know right off the bat that he had only been there two weeks, but he did great! Attentive and so nice without being overbearing! There was a magician which I kind of thought would be cheesy but he was so good! He just entertained us for a couple minutes while waiting for our food and it was a nice touch! Food was excellent! Wing special was delicious and the ranch was on point! I had the lobster ravioli special and it was fantastic! To top it off, the cheesecake nachos were just the final touch we needed! Will definitely be back! Can't wait to try some burgers and the onion rings looked fabulous! read more

Friends have been talking about this restaurant for a while, say it's good food so one night I went there for dinner. I ordered the prime rib sandwich which came with au jus and I ordered a salad to go with it. Salad was good size, sandwich had a good helping of sliced prime rib. It was a really good sandwich. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to return. read more

Took the family to BG's for dinner tonight and it was amazing! I had the NY Strip steak special. Who gets a great, perfectly cooked and seasoned steak and baked potato for $13.95???? The cost of a fast food value meal! My family had the steak sandwich - tender, juicy, and flavorful, the BG burger, and the honey butter biscuit battered shrimp. Everything was great! The salty watermelon was the drink special with a nice slice of watermelon and a salted rim with spicy Tahin. Delicious! The service was terrific! Our server, Erica, was attentive, personable, and quick. To top it off, BG's is just 2 blocks from home. What a great addition to Bunker Hill! read more

EXCELLENT food, service and atmosphere! I even enjoyed the house wine. I heard this was worth the drive and they were right. We were waited on by Trent and he was friendly attentive and enjoyable. We started with their brussels sprouts appetizer was excellent. I had to Billygoat burger with bacon and it was juicy and the pretzel bun was great. My husband had the pork tenderloin and I loved the breading. Our friends had the kebabs and the rib eye. They were very pleased, Their meet was tender and cooked to perfection! .

The food was good but the owner was very handsy with all the husbands in our group, much to the men's dismay, and she totally ignored all of wives. She was rude and made the atmosphere very uncomfortable for all of us. None of us want to come back. read more

Everyone is incredibly friendly, from the hostess to the wait staff. I had the fish sandwich, it was very good. There aren't as many options for the lunch menu, but everything was good. read more

BG's Grub & Pub - Chicken giggles - American Near Me - Bunker Hill, Illinois

I dont know what the deal is but had dinner with the family last night at bg's grub and pub in bunker hill and had the worst waitress ever. Between her attitude filled responses and ignoring everyone at the table the hot jack u served my husband and the fact that my parents and aunt had to beg for a refill and the owner had to serve them in your absence to the pitcher of tea you left in front of me and my outrageous request of crackers with our salads that you slammed down in front of me when my salad was almost completely gone. I hope you enjoyed the 18% tip yall added for yourself to 3 individual tickets ( couples tickets ) not a single one of us would have tipped you after the way you treated everyone in my family and when i talked to the owner he ignored us completely whatever so good job ERICA A. for losing not 1 not 2 but 3 families worth of loyal business. I guess when u add the tip before they order it doesnt matter how people are treated your getting paid either way right ... sucks because we are great tipping people. read more

What a fabulous little place in the middle of no where. Rachael is awesome!! The wings are super!! Reuben was awesome!! Cheesecake nachos are the best finishing touch!!! Do yourself a favor!!! Go here !!! read more

Went there specifically for the cheesecake nachos and it was worth the drive. Nachos chips are homemade sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Had a French dip. My husband had the burger. Both were very good. Atmosphere is great, clean restaurant, helpful, friendly staff, fast service read more

Walking in the door, I knew I was in for something more than just pub grub. The decor took me back to so many things I loved as a kid. Our waitress was so attentive and personable. The food was so amazing. It is clear that this is a total labor of love. Thank you for sharing your passion with the rest of us.....it is appreciated read more

Stopped in for lunch. Had a fried walleye plate. Very good. Good service, friendly people, and very nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back to try one of the many items on the menu. read more

We enjoyed eating here when entrees (food not served on a bun) were available, but not as much now that it's all sandwiches. Still a good place to eat, however. read more

We had never eaten here before but our friends have raved about it. The service was excellent....the food was so so good (had the prime rib sandwich.... Yummmmo). The place was spotless, the owner is someone I could be friends with, the atmosphere was fun....overall I rate this a 10 out of 10. read more

We made reservations for 4:30, and were seated promptly. Our waitress asked and provided drinks quickly. Once we decided, our orders were taken. In the meantime, we were approached by several employees, offering to fill drinks. My brother ordered mushrooms, with goat sauce and ranch dressing. The goat sauce was a hit! We even asked our waitress if we could buy it. Our meals were fresh, made as ordered, and delicious. My brother and wife had the Prime Rib sandwich. Both said they were delicious. My sister-in-law had a Reuben, and could only finish half. I had the Surf and Turf, a 12 oz Sirloin and shrimp kabob. I always ask for well done. This time though, I asked for not quite well. My steak was juicy, and so tender, it cut with a butter knife. After the meal, Julie sat and talked to us for a few minutes, and then told a bit about paintings she did for the establishment. Overall, it was a great night, and we will be back (its only 3 blocks from our house), and not order out. Thanks for a good time with family, BG's. We'll be back! read more

Great food and service! My husband and I had dinner there 8/14/21. We started out with fried mushrooms and Brussels sprouts, delicious! He had the 20 oz steak and I had the jalapeño burger, delicious! Finished of with cheesecake nachos, delicious! Fast service also didn't have to wait long for the foods! We will be back! read more

Excellent restaurant. Their regular dishes and specials are outstanding. The service is as good as you can find. Restaurants like this with food being fresh, locally owned and with such great attention to detail is hard to find. read more

The food is decent. Menu options are limited to mostly sandwiches with occasional weekend entree specials. At first, I thought it was cool to see this in such a small town - they act like they're trying to be better than the average place. Unfortunately, what we witnessed was atrocious. The owner, female, introduced herself to us. Shortly thereafter, on the way to the restroom she could be heard loudly demeaning and verbally abusing her employees. A complete shift in attitude from her bubbly persona she held at our table. We tried asking our waiter what the deal was and she didn't want to say anything - we assumed she was probably afraid of getting abused further or in trouble for saying anything. It's so sad that people treat others so poorly and likely don't even realize how they impact other people. I believe in supporting places that treat humans properly and not like disposable pawns and toys to take out their personal problems on. I think everyone can understand having a business to run, but don't be abusive. The environment just felt negative overall by the end and we felt happy to leave. Hope things turn for the better and the owner has a change in heart - it'd be a shame to see this cute spot go down like I feel it could. read more

First time here I live in Brighton we never come this way but we will now. Friendly staff great food.

The food was great! The Ruben is the #1 choice! Great service and all the workers are really nice. The place itself is really clean and the way it is decorated inside looks amazing! They have quite a bit to choose from on their menu which is good. Not so many kid options but there is plenty of other things that kids may like. The owner is really nice and welcoming! I felt very welcomed and just in general had a great experience there! read more

Finally had a night free to go to Billygoat's! It did not disappoint! The service was excellent, it had a rustic atmosphere and the food was delicious. The Billygoat Bites were so tasty, definitely will have them again. I LOVED the house dressing! I had the Tuscan Pasta with grilled chicken. It was a huge portion, so I get to have it again tomorrow for lunch. It was so good! My husband had a steak and it was very good and cooked exactly how he requested. As we were walking out a group of ladies ordered martinis that looked amazing, next time I will have one. This is a great place for the family or date night. read more

This place has a great atmosphere, food, and service! Came in for grandmas birthday and got a lot of food. Everything was really good and perfect when it came out. Cocktails were as delicious as the Cheesecake Nachos that we all split. Absolutely amazing! I will definitely be back when I'm back in town! read more

We went last Sunday. We waiting until 230 thinking the church crowd would be gone and the supper club wouldn't be there yet. But they were pretty full but we got right in. The onions rings are homemade and yummy. The waitress was great. I ordered pulled pork and they ran out which turned out to be great, I took the burger and it was so large I took half home. The husband had the Ruben sandwich and it was very good as well. I was no in the mood for fries, she offered me fresh fruit. It was soooo good. We cannot wait to go back and try something else. read more

We love this restaurant. Great food! The atmosphere is very inviting. They have done an amazing job with the decor..
