Whiskey And Pizza
Steve A.

Checked out this bar and pizza place in Elgin. Danny's On Douglas is probably the best place to get pizza in the city around here. It especially is true Mondays. A lot of good value if coming at the right time of course. They also have the required beers and cocktails, to go along with pizza and other Italian-American classics and favorites. Basically it has a bar type of atmosphere. It's got the long bar to sit at along with some tables inside and on a patio. They weren't crowded the last time here thankfully. A pretty basic drink menu with lots of beers. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. They have a few whiskeys. It's about $18 for a medium pizza. They add a bit for each topping. Go Mondays. Pizzas will be half off. Our pizzas came out crispy. They have typical toppings along with local favorites such as giardiniera. Great stuff as far as pizza along with everything else. It's of course located on Douglas, at Kimball. The drinks are as popular as the eats, while there's a lot more to munch on than just pizza.

Dudes, whaaat happened??? Gone is the oooy gooey thin crust sausage and caramelized onion deliciousness that is Danny's on Douglas. Great crust, great sauce, good sausage per usual...but way more onions than sausage or cheese...and the onions are not caramelized at all (just steam cooked)????? Used to love you guys to death and go out of our way to come here. Really hoped that tonight was another one "off" (strike 2 in the past 2 months), and not a trend, or unfortunate result of rising ingredient costs. Most importantly...service, what the heck happened to the best bartender Nick?? Girls behind the bar are pleasant, but not good. Not gonna lie, y'all are NOT the same and maybe not worth the drive...signed, former rewards member

Giant pretzle

I was in town for a dance contest with my daughter and decided this would be a great place to go for dinner. it is close to the performance venue with ample parking. I was surprised how big it is inside. We were there on Saturday night and it wasnt too busy inside. We ended up with a party of 12. I reviewed the menu and saw that the variety of fried veggies looked like a great starter. The price was very reasonable. My friend ordered the epically huge pretzel with cheese sauce. I ordered a large cheese pizza which my daughter and the other dancers wanted. My friend also ordered a large philly cheesesteak pizza. The apps came out fairly quickly and the fried veggie assortment was pretty good. The breading was crunchy. The fried zucchini was awesome as were the mushrooms. it comes with two dipping sauces ranch and tomato sauce. Next was the cheese pizza. It was nice and hot. It is cur in squares which is similar to a place in Indiana called pizza king. They use a lot of cheese and it tasted great. It was pretty good. The crust is dry and thin I call it more like a cracker. The cheesesteak pizza was great too. Had cheese wizz around the perimeter and regular cheese in the middle. Note there is no red sauce on this pizza. Service during the visit was attentive and reasonably fast. I thought the value was excellent. Also I had a bite of the giant pretzel it is a real winner wish I had ordered a few beers to wash it down.

Burnt pizza cheese is fake salty and greasy!

Ordered from Danny's pizza today, pizza is not the same! Cheese is fake and pizza is burnt. Did my research, it figures ownership change! Will never order from there again!

I had written a review for this establishment before but for whatever reason, the review is no longer there. It wasn't a negative or bad review by any means. So, I am not sure why it is not there. But in any case, I have been to Danny's a few times and it was for having their delicious pizzas. On my most recent visit, I had their cheese thin crust pizza and garlic & mushrooms stuffed pizza. I also ordered a side salad and a pint of Hacker Pschorr Weiss. The thin crust pizza was very tasty especially because of the crispy crust. The pizza sauce was good too. The stuffed pizza was perfectly baked. It not only had proper amount sauce but it also had ton of cheese and a good amount of fresh garlic. Each bite of it was flavorful. Both the pizzas were delicious. Danny's has other items on their food menu as well which I haven't tried. They have a good beer selection, especially on tap. They have occasional live bands playing and they have gaming machines as well. I go here with my buddies and we have received good, friendly service in all of our visits. Their pizza pricing is reasonably. The atmosphere is friendly. Check Danny's out, especially for their pizzas.

Great food service and ambience. Saw at least three large families here enjoying the heck out of birthday events. Heather's service was great. The pizza was fantastic. Didn't even think about leaving anything to bring home. It was too good to leave.

I came to Danny's on Douglas with low expectations after seeing their low reviews, but I was really hoping to be pleasantly surprised. The location is fantastic--right in downtown Elgin, near the casino, with the added bonus of live music and a huge indoor seating area. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. We sat ourselves, and it took about 15 minutes before anyone even welcomed us. A lady came by, looking confused, asking if we had been helped or given menus. We told her we hadn't been. She explained that it wasn't her section (it was her first night working there) but said she'd get us water and menus and let our waitress know we needed attention. She was lovely--super prompt with the waters and menus--but sadly, this was the best part of the service. It took another 15 minutes for our actual waitress to come over. By this point, we were hungry, so we gave her our drink and food orders immediately. We ordered a beer, curly fries, and pizza. The fries came out about 20 minutes later and were decent, but the beer never arrived. At that point, we were too frustrated to remind her about it. The pizza came out shortly after. It wasn't bad, but it was overly cheesy for my taste. That said, the cheese pull was great, so if that's your thing, you might enjoy it more. The real letdown was the lack of basic service. We weren't checked on once after our food arrived. No drink refills, no napkins until we signaled for them, and no follow-up until we had to flag her down again for a box and the check. The waitress showed no compassion or sense of urgency, which really rubbed us the wrong way. I won't be coming back. I wanted to give this place a chance and prove the other reviews wrong, but the experience was disappointing. It's a shame because the location and live music setup have so much potential. Hopefully, they can turn things around in the future.

Terrible delivery

Paid $50 for shriveled up wings and pizza with the cheese slid over all. Just terrible.

Danny's is going downhill. Been coming for years but last night was not good. The place was nearly empty. Understaffed, the service at the bar was bad. Ordered a pizza to go and a couple of beers while we waited. The small uncomplicated pizza took about a half hour to cook. The bill for two beers and the carryout pizza was nearly forty dollars.

Italian food is our most favorite cuisine. Many Italian restaurants are fancy high price place restaurants. We were excited to find a casual Italian restaurant where the emphasis is on serving delicious food rather than having a fancy setting. The fried zucchini with homemade ranch dressing was very good. Be sure to ask for additional parmesan cheese to sprinkle on it. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was very good. I had the Buratta salad with red pepper strips and balsamic glaze. I would order this again. One minor point. The salad greens were about 50% spinach leaves and then the other 50% was mixed lettuce. For me, that was too much spinach. Their balsamic dressing was perfect for this salad. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant. I would come here very.often.

Woodfire: Where Simplicity, Good Food, and Good People Still Mean Something…read more There's something beautiful about a restaurant that doesn't feel the need to reinvent the wheel. No unnecessary theatrics. No pretentious bullshit. Just honest food, made by people who clearly give a damn about what they're putting on your plate. Another lunch at Woodfire. Another reminder of why we keep coming back. We started with the Tuscan Fries. Potatoes cooked in beef tallow, finished with garlic, herbs, and Parmesan, with a side of garlic aioli. Crispy, rich, unapologetically garlicky. The kind of thing you tell yourself you'll only have a few of before realizing you've damn near polished off the entire plate. I love them. My wife, however, tends to lean in the opposite direction whenever I attempt to kiss her afterward. A small price to pay for greatness. Next came the Rosemary Sausage Pizza. No sauce? No problem. Dough. Mozzarella. Rosemary. Sausage. That's it. Four ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Nothing hiding behind a gallon of tomato sauce or an avalanche of unnecessary toppings. Just a beautiful marriage of flavors, each one knowing its place. Sometimes the most impressive thing a kitchen can do is know when to leave something the hell alone. This remains one of my favorites here. Then came something I wasn't quite prepared for. The Chef's Special: "Ronald Mac Donald." A name that sounds suspiciously like someone forgot to replace the placeholder text before sending the menu to the printer. But don't let the name fool you. This was, without exaggeration, arguably one of the finest chili macs I've had the pleasure of shoveling into my face. Let's start with the pasta. Made fresh, in-house. And the cook on these noodles? Jesus Christ. Absolutely beautiful. That perfect al dente bite. Firm enough to remind you that you're eating real pasta, tender enough to make you immediately reach for another forkful. Whoever was responsible for cooking those noodles deserves a handshake and a cold beer. And the beef chili? Rich, hearty, deeply satisfying. The kind of flavor that doesn't happen by accident. You can taste the time, the patience, the care that went into its preparation. This wasn't some half-assed pot of ground beef and canned tomatoes thrown together to fill a menu slot. This was comfort food with a soul. Now, what good is a meal like this without a beer? Fortunately, Woodfire has that covered, too. As if making their own pizza dough, fresh pasta, and damn near everything else in-house wasn't enough, they've gone a step further with their own beer, produced through Carlyle Brewing in Rockford, Illinois. I went with the Honey Jar. Light. Refreshing. A subtle touch of sweetness. Nothing overpowering, nothing complicated. Just a damn good beer that knows exactly what it is. Sitting there on an unusually warm fall afternoon, enjoying good food and even better company, it was exactly what the occasion called for. And finally, there's Kevin, the bartender. Food might get people through the door, but people like Kevin are what bring them back. There's a difference between someone who simply serves you and someone who genuinely makes you feel welcome. Kevin understands that difference. His attention to detail, his hospitality, and his seemingly endless positivity are something you don't encounter nearly enough in this industry. The man remembers you like you've been neighbors for fifty years. Not because he's working an angle or fishing for a bigger tip, but because he seems to genuinely enjoy the people sitting across from him. And in a world where hospitality is increasingly treated like a transaction, that's worth a hell of a lot. Woodfire isn't trying to be something it isn't. It doesn't need to. Good ingredients. Honest cooking. Cold beer. Genuine hospitality. Sometimes that's all you need. And sometimes, when it's done this well, it's everything.

Woodfire fits naturally into the heart of Dundee -- relaxed, welcoming, and easy to enjoy. The…read morepizza is the highlight, bringing a fun, flavorful approach that works well for both casual nights out and group dinners. The pasta and appetizers are solid across the board, and the drinks round out the experience nicely. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that may not try to overreach, but consistently delivers a good time and a satisfying meal.

However, listening carefully to customers is just as important as serving great food! I recently called to make a simple change to a catering order, requesting that the potatoes be replaced with green beans. I specifically repeated, "No potatoes, please. Replace the potatoes with green beans." Unfortunately, my request was not handled correctly, and I was charged an additional $30 for a tray of green beans instead of having the original side substituted. As a result, my students ended up eating the same sides they had the previous day, and I incurred an additional $30 charge that I never requested or authorized. This situation could have easily been avoided if the employee had taken the time to listen carefully and repeat the updated order back to me for confirmation. My suggestion to the White Cottage team is simple: Please listen carefully, repeat orders back to customers, and confirm any additional charges before processing changes. I truly enjoy your food and appreciate your affordable pricing, but customer service and clear communication are essential, especially when handling catering orders. I hope this feedback helps improve the ordering experience moving forward.

When I called I was very disappointed to hear they discontinued my staple, The Grinder on garlic toast. Oh well...I am flexible... I was exited about the chicken parmesan sandwich in garlic toast, we also ordered a chicken Alfredo, Italian beef and fries. To start with my chicken parmesan WAS NOT on garlic toast (which I paid extra for) the chicken was overcooked, dry and strips. Ate about three bites. The fries we under cooked and soggy and the chicken parmesan had NO flavor. Italian beef was neither good nor bad... Well, anyone can have an off day so I decided I would just stick to their pizza which historically had been delicious. Fast forward to today, I was returning for a 2.5 hour drive and thought I'd treat myself to a delicious pizza for today and preparing for tomorrows incoming snow storm. I picked the pizza up and headed home. Sadly, I should have checked it there before leaving...the bacon was all burnt (tasted burnt not just looked burnt). Yes, I did pick off most of the burnt bacon, but got $30+ for a picked up pizza that is not really ok with me ... beyond that the crust was soggy and I couldn't really pick up the pieces to eat them. It will be an extremely long time before I order or go there again. Makes me very sad as this used to be a staple of mine and it is SOOOO close to home. Good luck if you choose to give them a try...
