You will not find another place quite like this, in any way, shape, form, color, etc.!…read more Before going, stretch out all of your senses and muscles. You will absolutely need to do this. Visually, your eyes will have no idea where to look and take in the atmosphere. Every inch in every possible axis looks different. The decor in here is something else. Imagine you were driving on a road and you came up to a three vehicle accident where an old school arcade, a van of graffiti artists and a record store collided. If you woke up precisely in the middle of this wreckage, this is what it would look like. It's awesome! Before your brain begins to scramble, it's a restaurant, with a bar, with arcade and pinball games, that sometimes hosts events on their stage. Okay? You get that? Yes, it can be confusing for some, but it's pretty simple when you think about it and/or let your Xanax kick in. The food is where we ramp up to the next gear. If the decor hasn't already clued you in, this is NOT your average Hot Dog / Burger joint. It's not. So don't complain that it's not, because, as I've said and will say again, it's NOT! Like the ambiance and, from what I hear, the owner - it's different. Read their menu and/or website for all the "house made", "locally sourced", "hand churned", "blah-bibbity-blah'd" information. Fine. Great. Local. Homemade. But is it good? I've had a couple of the Hot Dogs. I have to say, out of the gate, I'm a true blue Chicago Style Hot Dog guy. So, for me, messing with hot dogs is like renaming the Sears Tower or moving the Bears to the suburbs. It's no longer a hot dog. It's something else. And, these are something else. Read the reviews! People love these. Once you mentalize that these are not "hot dogs", as we know them, you'll understand that these are either culinary genius or disasters. Possibly a combination of both. Somehow, they work and they work well. Keep one more thing in mind - If you're a 2 or 3 hot dog guy or gal (you know who you ladies are!!!!), I wouldn't take that bet here. Pace yourself. Look at some of the food on other peoples tables. Hell, see if if they'll give you a taste or do what I do; simply ask, "you gonna finish that?" Works every time. The Burgers. Oh my (insert higher power or evil deity here)!!! Real quick.... go jump in front of a mirror and take a look at your head. You see how big you head is? Yeah, that's a Legit Burger. Again, read their menu for all the disclaimers of support, but then read the creations. Much like their wiener cousins, the burgers are also creations from another planet. I have had one and it was good. This is not your average single-hand job here. This is a two-hand job. (I am well aware of what I did there, twice.) You shan't be picking this up like a Scottish Drive Thru Value "burger". You will need a fork truck or pallet jack, a 12' x 12' tarp, 4 rolls of shop towels, a bottle of lube and one aspirin, because YOU GONNA FEEL THIS BAD BOY FROM START TO FINISH. I've never had a burger that made my arms sore for the next three days. I spent the entire next day trying to remember if I worked out or fought a Silverback. Then I remembered...... it was that gargantuan Legit Burger that I blacked out in the middle of. It was pretty fantastic. Only comment would be that, even though the bun is good, it's a lot of bread. I think I left some of the bun behind. The fries are killer. Read the menu to get the history and story on the fries, because I didn't, I won't and I don't care. The fries are good. Okay.... some other weird things. Some people comment that they're not sure if it's a seat yourself or wait to be seated. Yes, it is not entirely clear. However, there isn't a sign. No sign, not my problem. I give them 3 beats and I'm sitting wherever I want. The ordering situation - You can do it all from the QR Code inspired system you pull up on your phone or, if I remember correctly, they do have physical menu's. I can't recall if you MUST pay on the app/online or if you can pay in person. I've only done it online. The drinks - It is serve yourself. And, going with their theme of "let's not be like any other eating establishment that ever has existed or will exist in the future, it's not a big soda fountain bar that is illuminated and plastered with Big Cola marketing artwork. It does kind of look like an area that is only for workers of the establishment and not for the public. Just go get your drink already. If you're not supposed to be there, they'll tell you. The service has always been great, the few times that I've been there. Happy, helpful and really easy. Would I go back? I've been a few times now. It's tricky for me because, as I said before, I'm old school with my dogs. But, this isn't typical. So, if I want different, I've gone here a few times and have even brought colleagues who have also enjoyed it. I will be back, for sure.

The South Elgin location is located off Randall Rd. We went on a Friday night to take advantage of their Happy Hour drink specials. Beers 3.25 and Martinis 5.25. They also have a wine special. Our server (Sage) was super friendly and did not rush us even tho they were pretty busy. (And loud) We had their cheese fries as an appetizer and they were fresh and not greasy at all. My wife had the 10 inch GF Supreme pizza and I had the 12 inch Sausage Pizza. Both were loaded with cheese and had good flavor. There was more than enough for leftovers. Prices are very reasonable. With another location in St. Charles,Riverside Pizza and Pub is definitely worth a place to checkout when in the Western suburbs.

See, Grumpy Goat consists of two indoor dining areas and an outdoor seating area within a slightly larger building also that has a locker room, golf shop, and meeting room.

There's a separate dining room beyond the bar area where full dinners seem more common. Given that my 2 trips were in November and December, don't have a good sense for the outside area.

Still, based on taste alone, it was impressive, and I'd consider going back while maybe trying something different next time.

So craving their boasted chicken we go and was told at ordering no broasted chicken today Tuesday. The waiter said reason sold out THEY THINK because they sold out Monday. First the waiter did not know why (ok poor communication with the staff as to lack of availability) which to me is unacceptable for a restaurant that is a very enjoyable place to dine. If no chicken then the restaurant should place a sign on the door or let the staff know so we as a patron knows in advance. We were highly disappointed today in that respect. So let's talk goodness. We ordered potato skins they were large and filled with yumminess. I loved them so good. Then a fantastic bake French onion soup cup size. Great taste and cheesy but I really liked the breaded onion strips on top that made that soup over the top. My main dish was a grilled Rubin. Darn good with hot French fries. Like I mention a 4to5 star for food service 5 star but not pre warning costumer of a canceled dish after heavy advertising I have rated a 3. Can't wait to go back and enjoy that boasted chicken just hope it's served when on the menu. The restaurant very clean and I like the quickness of the support staff. The manager helps and goes to tables making sure everything is up to par. Maybe I am too harsh on this review but that shows how disappointed I am I was really looking forward to that delicious broasted chicken. A note to Village Squire I am happy you sold out if that was true great for business BUT the 86 communication maybe can be improved a bit more.
