It seems to be a family friendly space with a kids section towards the front. Probably a good space to have a bday party if you live in the area. I got a mango smoothie and a waffle ice cream with Oreos and strawberry sauce. Was delicious! I recommend if your wanting something sweet!

I had the strawberries and cream french toast with bacon. I did not care for the bacon, it was too smoky for my taste. I would definitely come again.

Charlie's is a restaurant located in a busy touristy area in Galena, IL…read more We enjoyed our breakfast and it came with plenty of food! I had the country fried steak with hash browns and couldn't finish it. But I tried! Loved the Sourdough Toast. My wife had the Irish Benedict which was okay, but the eggs were a little over done. Looking at (others) French Toast, we both kind of wished we tried that. Looked amazing!

We met family here today for a Birthday lunch for my sister in law…read more I LOVE the interior here - high ceilings, all the polished wood- absolutely gorgeous. Now, my sister in law complained that it's very loud and echoey- but she had her earplugs and that helped. Service was attentive too. Most of us ordered salads- my husband and I had the chicken chipotle. It was creative and tasty. It's pricey here- $18 for a salad - ouch- but it was for a birthday and she was happy for the celebration.

While in town for a college visit with our son, we walked from our hotel down to The Vault for…read moredinner. We have a restaurant locally (in Southern Illinois) with the same concept and name. It's also located inside of an old bank, so we wanted to check this one out. We were seated immediately and received great service. The waitress was new, but already familiar with the menu. She made recommendations and was very attentive. We started with the pretzel and I can't wait for you to see the photo of how huge this thing is! We all three ate some of it, and there was enough for two people left once we were all done. It's massive! For the entree, I had the chicken quesadillas, my husband had the salmon bowl, and my son had the French dip. The food was all very good and if he chooses Dubuque for college, we will definitely be back!

I found out from our server that many of their items are made in house, which is great to hear in a restaurant landscape where everything is frozen and reheated! It might have a silly name and the decor might be "rundown chic", but the food and service is spectacular.

It may be kind of dumpy inside but the place is also full of crazy personality. A lot of the basics along with a few fancier items. The prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. Basically if you're a group it will probably be waiting for a table so go early. It's one of the popular places to go around here. The last time coming here we got seats at the bar and there wasn't any waiting. Has a lot of cool memorabilia to look at. There's a bunch of funny signs on the walls. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel is one of the classics you can get. It's about $13 for a burger and fries. They have a veggie burger that can substitute. We each got one of these. I got it with the toppings of the Basic Burger. These come with the usual toppings like lettuce, mayonnaise which I left off, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. She got it with the toppings of the Olive Burger. These come with cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise, olives, onions, Swiss, and tomatoes. For sure it gets busy. It's located on Main at Franklin. They're closed Wednesdays.

Not sure why they have a big sign that says Family friendly dining! Completely opposite of that and…read moreI will also disagree with the bloody Mary's. Not the best in town either. Family and I decided to check out galena for the first time and decided to check this place out since the galena brewing company was closed. Not sure why because the sign said open and it was 11:15 am. The food here was alright, wings didn't come out with the celery and we felt rushed. We asked for menus and he said we needed to wait till after 11 am! It was 11:15 am lol. Food is nothing to brag about, but it did the job after a 3 hour drive. I should've read the reviews before going into this place. Not a top choice if we go back. Be aware this place only takes cash and checks. No credit card payments. Found that out at the bar when I had to go pay my bill because the waiter didn't mention anything! Lady at the bar said the ATM is at the front. Terrible way to start a Galena visit. Here are some pictures of our food and hopefully this place has better management and nicer staff.

With this restaurant being located in such a charming little town such as Galena, IL, I was a…read morelittle disappointed in the service. From the get go, the lady taking our order was in a bit of a rush. My family was with me and we had a couple questions regarding the menu. I felt that our server's response was abrupt and felt like she was brushing us off to get to the next customer. The food was meh. I mean it wasn't terrible but it was pretty basic. The hubby got a cheeseburger, my daughter got the grilled cheese meal, and I got the buffalo wings. The menu said that celery and carrot sticks came with my order but I just got the wings. When I was able to finally flag down our server to inquire about my veggie sticks and dressing, she said "oh we're out of those" and was about to walk off until I quickly asked her what about the ranch? She then quickly pointed to the little square ranch container that was in the middle of the table. I mean maybe offer other things to accommodate for what's missing or at least tell me that off the bat would have been nice. We pretty much just ate our food and was ready to go right after. The name Paradise Bar & Grill is an oxymoron as we did not feel like we were in paradise.

Exceptionally slow greens and bunker maintenance was lacking. Waited for grounds crew instead of them waiting for us..first time I experienced that at a resort! Left there thinking it was a grade below for the price. Would not recommend for the avid player.
