Redemption Burger
Caitlin T.

Food: 8/10 The menu is small, but the food was good. My friend's cup of water was not washed properly, it had residues of syrup in it from someone's past meal. The cheese curds were ok, some crispy and warm, while others were a bit cold. We were a little skeptical at this point, but when the burgers came out, it redeemed for all the past mishaps. My redemption burger was absolutely the bomb. It had a nice garlic aioli sauce on the brioche bun, along with onions, bacon, American cheese, and 2 juicy patties. The fries combined well with the burger to create an explosion of flavor. Service: 9/10 The waiter was very kind, he conversed with my friend and they related to each other because they had the same cultural background. It took about 20-30 minutes for the burgers to arrive. Ambiance: 8/10 The restaurant looks a bit old, and a bit dark inside, so you don't think it's open or has a lot of customers, but it is actually nice and clean inside. It has the feel of a wooden cabin to it, sort of like Great Wolf Lodge.

Short Ribs
Edward M.

It was pretty quiet on NYE which is exactly what I was looking for. 5 of us showed up for dinner and our waiter was extremely nice and effective. They did mess up on one of the steaks and it took the kitchen forever to replace it but they did end up comping us that steak to make up for it. I had the short ribs, which had no bones. I was quite surprised. It was really flavorful and tender. It came with perfectly cooked asparagus and gently sweet sweet potatoes, it even had some really nice chunks inside the mash and it was so yummy. I highly recommend the short ribs.

Blackened Mahi Mahi
Ilona K.

We used to leave 2 minutes away from Birch River Grill. I just found a picture from last year. My boyfriend took me to Birch for our small anniversary. Atmosphere was okay. Staff is very friendly. I don't know if I was super hungry or what. But OMG! This Ahi Tuna is just one of the best dishes I've ever tried. That was definitely the best ahi Tuna called "Blackened Mahi Mahi". Highly recommend it. Even though we moved, I would love to come back there for another date.

Bone in Grilled Pork Chop
Paul L.

In town for business decided to eat at the quant restaurant attached to a double tree Hotel. I had the Pork chop bone in, it was outstanding with green beans and mashed potatoes. The service was on point and the atmosphere is great for groups or just a couple as it's very spacious.

Lies to bring you in then plan changes
Niko N.

This is bs they stat this to come in happy hours is a lie , turn it around when in there it's only Monday to Thursday also a rip off food cold like there customers service , place is not only expensive for crumbs and bad food but they rip you off penny pinchers just terrible hotel service and zero personality and respect go to motel 6 , manager is bad with customer service to over charge and you have to fight to get your money back

Pasta entree.... pretty bland , unless you ask for more cheese or just need to add salt .

First visit here, won't be my last. Loved the beers on tap. I had a delicious French dip sandwich,…read morebut ended up envying my friends' choice, the eggplant Parmesan salad. It looked delicious and they were delighted. Will definitely order it next time. Service was attentive, but not annoying, and very informative.

If you haven't discovered Fox & Turtle yet, you're missing one of the best hidden gems in the area…read more I was genuinely surprised to learn it's open to the public because it feels every bit like an upscale private country club. The outdoor patio overlooking the golf course is absolutely beautiful--relaxing, scenic, and the kind of place that makes you feel like you're on vacation. Even on a busy Thursday evening, the atmosphere was lively without ever feeling hectic. Our server, Jordyn, was outstanding. She looked young, but don't let that fool you--she was completely on top of everything. We were a party of six that couldn't decide what we wanted, laughed way too loudly, and probably tested her patience more than once. She handled us with grace, humor, and a smile the entire time. Somewhere along the way we started calling her "Wednesday" from The Addams Family, and she rolled with it perfectly. Great sense of humor and fantastic service. The food was excellent. The Crispy Eggplant Salad was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and easily large enough to share between two people. The burger was cooked perfectly, the cocktails were outstanding, and everything arrived promptly. The bar staff also deserve a shout-out. They were welcoming from the moment we arrived, made great eye contact, acknowledged everyone immediately, and had drinks in our hands in no time. That's the kind of hospitality that makes people want to come back. Fox & Turtle has the rare combination of great food, attentive service, excellent drinks, and a beautiful setting. It's the kind of place you expect to find inside an exclusive club, yet thankfully it's open for everyone to enjoy. We'll definitely be back.

I loved the atmosphere and the wine selection was great. I had the Cooper's hawk red blend and it was fantastic. Food was perfect. We started with appetizers, the calamari did not look like your traditional calamari but was amazing in the sweet chili sauce, the lettuce wraps were difficult as you had to create your own so it didn't go well at the table, potstickers are always a hit. I had the braised short rib risotto, aside from the mushrooms, probably my fault, it was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Overall good choice for my first visit and would visit again

CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD BILL TO MAKE SURE IT MATCHES YOUR RECEIPT…read more My credit card was charged $158.25 when the actual receipt shows $148.25. My credit card was overcharged by $10 because the server entered the tip as $32 when I actually tipped $22. I called and spoke with a manager by the name of Anthony. When I said to Anthony that I wonder how many times this happens, he replied., " you wouldn't believe how often it happens". He attributed it to the buttons on his POS system and agreed to refund my $10 within 3 to 5 business days.

The room was set up beautifully and the linen color choice/option added a personal touch. The buffet brunch was delicious and the guests had positive comments on the variety that was offered. I also posted photos on social media of the event and received compliments on the room, linens and set up. The sales and banquet staff were top tier. They were excellent and attentive to all of our needs. On the day of the event, the staff was efficient and professional. We were allowed to bring personalized desserts for the event (limitations are indicated on the contract) and the price point for the event was about the going rate like other venues. But, the room was beautifully set up and the staff was wonderful. We had a spectacular event!

The bartender seemed a bit distracted and took a while to take our order which was frustrating, however she made up for it by continuing to check on us throughout our meal. We got the nachos, steak and eggs, and a thai salad with the cornbread being the standout. The sushi rolls looked very good so i'll have to try that out next time!

We wanted ribs and after a long day, long drive and lots of activity we didn't want to drive back to Chicago to go to our usual place. We were staying in Schaumburg so Villiage Tavern and Grill seemed like a good choice. Monday night football was ready to begin and it was fairly busy. We were seated quickly and surprised at the excellent service we received. We both ordered full slabs knowing that all the leftovers would be tomorrow's dinner when we get back home. I also had a bowl of crème chicken rice soup that was excellent. The ribs were what we remembered. Meaty and flavorful slathered with a great sauce. Too many times you return to a place you once enjoyed and it disappoints. Not this time! You don't have to drive into the city to get great ribs!

We've eaten here at least 20 times, get the gift cards during Christmas for a discount and I would get the chicken fingers because they're so meaty and juicy...my favorite is the coconut batter with the apricot and hot sauce...so satisfying, along with thee Pecan salad... There's a big loyal following here, but you'll always manage to find a table and parking is not a problem at all with their huge parking lot...
