This translates to the towns most popular watering hole as well. Their food is pretty standard bar food, but it's always cooked well and tastes great. Their Corn nuggets are one of my favorite options and their pizza's are always good. My wife always gets their fish fry of which they have several fish options and she seems to enjoy it every time. The prices for their food is also well below most of the places We've been to that are similar on the IL side. Their drinks are also priced well and they have a decent selection but don't expect to have mixologist level drinks. Fridays they offer something called double bubble which is essentially a BOGO when ordering drinks and they offer raffle tickets when ordering drinks for their Friday Meat Raffles which is always such a fun experience. They offer live music and have open mic comedians at times too. I absolutely recommend giving Boxcar a try.

This place is an hour away, but the scenic route to Lake Geneva makes it worth the drive. In contrast, city traffic can take an hour and a half, even longer during peak hours. We visited twice, and during our second reservation, we couldn't resist making a third reservation for next month! As you can see in the pictures on their website, the food is beautifully presented, and each dish is unique and incredibly delicious. The prices are also very reasonable, which is a huge plus for us. We're talking amazing food at a reasonable price! Highly recommended! 5 stars!!

From the start, the minimal yet well appointed decor was perfect for this venue. Front of the house waitstaff was incredibly knowledgeable of the exquisite menu and its preparation. This matched the waitresses depth of understand the wine offering. Now to the back of the house which highlighted a sparkling white open kitchen directed by Chef Eric. His 5 course menu could match any Chicago or Milwaukee fine dining restaurant. Each plate was artistically created pairing color, texture and taste. 5 Stars..... this is a gem of a fine dining experience just a few minutes west of Lake Geneva. Did my best to take a photo of the menu as well as the dishes. You will not be dissatisfied. The pacing it's prefect to get us to the next door Belfry Music Theater just in time.

We ordered way too much food, but it was all so good. We ordered the large nachos which is no joke it is served on a pizza tray, and is huge. I was also excited about this fried potato appetizer; it was good but honestly did not live up to the hype in my mind. We ended up taking most of everything home to eat the next day, and it was all still delicious. The chipotle chicken and mushroom burger was delicious. The food was freshly prepared, and our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. We already plan to return to this place, as there was other items on the menu that we wanted to try.

Attentive and friendly service as well. My hubs and I stopped for lunch and shared the "Farmer Turkey Club" and "Hub Salad". Check out the menu in the pic. Everything was super fresh, tasty and very reasonably priced. The salad was huge, as pictured, with a fresh made pear vinaigrette and the sandwich was stacked high as well. The club had a garlicky toasted bread which elevated the sandwich perfectly along with the thick sliced herbed Turkey! Will definitely be back to check out the dinner experience! Side note, great place to make a stop for charging your e-car right across the street or gas stations on all corners as well.

It is so cute inside and they have an outdoor seating area with a stage and another bar. I love the global options on their menu and they have an extensive drink menu as well. I got the thai chicken peanut curry dish which was excellent, and my fiance got the Bingg Burger. He said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had and he couldn't even finish it all, it was huge. Our server was amazing. He said that his mom was the cook. He was very attentive and so friendly. Prices were a little higher but that is because the food and drinks are absolutely worth it! We loved everything about this restaurant and will definitely be back.

After talking to our wonderful waitress and telling her it's our first time here, she suggested to us the Ribeye Philly Sandwich and the Aloha Burger and the Cheese Curds for an appetizer. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, I chose the Ribeye Philly Sandwich and Jr chose the Junction burger. We both subbed fries for the chips and also ordered a 1/2 order of onion rings and the Cheese Curds. The Cheese Curds were amazing. I've never had such great tasting cheese curds before. The onion rings were cooked perfectly. Both our sandwiches were outstanding. We both said "were coming back here again". Gotta try more stuff here! Thank you!

I gave the waitress $100.00 (5 twenties) on a $69.00 dollar check and requested change for the tip. Unfortunately she returned with $11.00 and some small change and when i pointed out she was 20 short she seemed confused and went back to the bar to check. After another short exchange between me and her she went again to the bar and returned with my 20 so I'm okay. I just hope she didn't get stiffed by the guy behind the bar who rang up the bill and they figured out the mistake. P.S. She ended up with the 20 cause i still didn't have change for the tip.

It looks like a gorgeous farm home on the outside with ample parking and the inside is stunning with brick, metal, and wood accents as well as a beautiful stained glass door.

The absolute star of the show was the amazing duck fat fries with homemade ranch. The burger was excellent as well.

The salmon was good but not something I'd go back and get. The staff members are friendly! I've noticed sometimes service can be really slow.

The tray for the afternoon tea was so sparsely furnished with little food. The bottom tier contained one ham croissant cut in half and two small avocado toast. The middle tier was a 4 macaroons and two small dried out scones. The top tier was three one ounce glass dishes with sauces in them, maybe 1 tablespoon per dish. The tea itself was a pot of unfiltered water that tasted like well water. Overall, after paying with tip and tax $100 for two- it was outrageously overpriced, and under provided for. We traveled from Chicago for this and expected some pastries, fruit, and more finger sandwiches. Very disappointing. Oh, and I forgot to mention, Housekeeping was running a leaf blower to clean the carpets outside the guest rooms that were adjacent to the patio.
