    Grilled Canadian Walleye with Greek potatoes
    Dawn C.

    In Lockport for the afternoon and tried out George's because of their high Yelp review. We were not disappointed! Our waitress Nancy was wonderful and gave us the best service. We started with the saganaki, which was delicious. My husband had the walleye and I had the Greek chicken. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and very juicy. The walleye was flaky and cooked perfectly. In addition to the delicious Greek potatoes, vegetables and soup/salad, our meals included dessert! We each had pie...again delicious and a yummy surprise.

    George's never dissapoints. Always great food, good portions and a good value. We had breakfast this morning under the tent with the covid precautions. My Gypsy skillet was delicious. I love how small they chop the ham. Waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was brought out covered in disposable serving ware that doubles as your take home tray. The cups and silverware were all disposable as well. She asked about condiments and Brought out the requested flavored jellies, salt and ketchup in individual packets in a disposable servicing boat.

    Went by myself for lunch on a Tuesday 1pm. Sign when entering says "seat yourself". 1st table I…read morechose was dirty from a previous guest. Chose a 2nd table and it was very sticky on top. Tried a 3rd table....very sticky but I stayed at the 3rd table. Had the blue cheese burger. It was good; definitely hand made; not frozen. Had a very nice char on the outside. Not the best burger ever, but good. The fries were Sad. Other reviews said fries were amazing. So I was excited to try. Mine were extremely cold. I assume made maybe during busy lunch... and cold by the time I was there at 1pm? I didn't bother requesting new fries. Just left them alone and finished my burger. Good burger but mediocre experience overall.

    Gorgeous Industrial-Chic Celebration Venue in Lockport -- Absolutely Perfect!…read more Our special day at Embers (10/18/25) was absolutely magical. The staff went above and beyond -- thank you Ann, Nicole, and Maddie, especially Ann for making everything run seamlessly and stress-free. The venue's industrial-chic vibe -- exposed brick, metal beams, wood barn doors, high ceilings, and soft lights -- created such a romantic atmosphere that we barely needed to decorate. The food was incredible (our guests are still talking about the mashed potatoes!), and the chicken was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and high quality, just like every visit we've made since booking our date a year ago. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-run Lockport venue with amazing food and service, Embers is it.

    Went for the first time a couple weeks ago for the comedy night. It must be a company that does the…read morecompany part and the comedians come to town and a bar hosts them. Hands down worst bar ever to host them. I think the signs said the bar does this weekly or something??? How? Size/ atmosphere- This place is TINY. If you're going to go you better get the whole party there extremely early for a seat because you aren't really going to be able to save seats and it's the only way you will be able to see the comedian. The set up is awful at this bar. You can sit on a crumby house couch up close next to the stage, grab chairs directly in front of the front door in the aisle that everyone's purses will be hitting your head with as they walk by, attempt to grab a round table with 6-7 chairs and most have terrible views, or attempt to sit at the bar with your back to the bar. The building structure poles or beer equipment and area completely block the view so for 85% of the comedy show myself, friends, and other guests were staring out the random store front windows or looking down just listening to the show because I could not see the front / comedian. There was no where to move to since they packed the house. Until 2 people left the bar we got up and sat there and let two friends scoot over so they could maybe attempt to lean over and see. Only have 2 bathrooms which are coed but that's fine it's small. The line though for them was longggg. Drinks/ service/ show- Small options available and only local craft that were okay. Get some freaking food or apps besides over charged crappy frozen pizza. Ciders that they sold were disgusting- like not edible. The drinks are as decor on the wall and kinda confusing to know if that's on draft, only beer available, all beer they make/ sell, etc. We all had issues with the stupid QR code menu and the website was cut off on half the groups phones and wouldn't show everything. Limited selection. No cocktails or mixed drinks is what I was told and then saw people drinking cocktails. No domestic. They only had 2 tablets yet only would use one and only have 2 bartenders the whole show. The lines for drinks from before the show started to after were constant. Bartender tripped over the rug, couldn't figure out where or what drinks they had, used the wrong beer glasses each drink. One was super rude and almost avoided people. I think one or both were possibly the owner. Then after the intermission as the headliner was starting and until almost the very end of her set the couple at the bar WOULD NOT STOP TALKING. A huge problem besides the view and size of this place was that they did NOT use or know how to use their speakers or volume. The microphone might as well been off. Not a damn person could hear anything in there unless you were up front really. This couple would not stop talking and I'm not sure if it was the owner and a patron or what but listening to their convo, not by choice, they did not know each other and she was not here for the show. Everyone from the other side of the bar, in front of the bar, across the room was staring and looking back at the couple to stop talking. A man at the end of the bar asked the bartender to tell them to tone it down and he said yeah ok and then continued avoiding the situation until he weaseled his way in and they still did not stop talking. She eventually left thank god but please do NOT go to a bar with an event if you can't read the room holy shit. I did really like the mom juice box from another brewery. I had a couple of the sweet and sour beer from Nik & ivy or whatever beer and it was good. The comedians were all young and funny. Main show was pretty intense as far as her opening up for her set (suicide, cutting, eating disorders, sex, etc) but that's literally their choice and how comedy works but I know a bunch of people made comments about how deep and too much it was. There was also 2 woman that ruined basically the entire show. The comedians were even over it. They were WASTED when the show started at 730 or 8. The older woman was a local teacher, she willingly shouted to the entire room the entire show, hitting on the comedian and would yell out loud and interact the whole time. Ok first one was funny but after 50 f'ing times get it together and grow up. The comedians were getting annoyed and the bar owners should have stepped up. They were making a scene in the bathroom and holding everyone up also. I'm all for girls night and letting loose but you should have boundaries and that's a liability for a bar owner also. I won't be back.

    POPPIN' PILSNERS…read more This Lockport brewery has a decent number of rotating taps, but it's not my favorite place to grab a drink. Nik & Ivy is a small brewery on State St in downtown Lockport.  As with most places of this ilk, there's no food on-site and it can be tough to find parking.  Your best bet is a side street (and keep your visit brief). Last time here, I was disappointed they didn't have any wheat beer or amber ales on tap.  I understand that it's winter and some beers are seasonal, yet all I saw was heavier stouts, IPAs, and a few oddball brews. I got an Italian lager that tasted like a Peroni, which wasn't bad, though it was definitely a compromise.  The west coast lager was a bit better, but in retrospect, I should've gotten a pint of mead instead. My go-to - a Hefeweizen - is likely a springtime beer, so it was nowhere to be seen. They have a trio of pinball tables on your right as you walk in--their current lineup includes Star Wars, Godzilla premium, and Foo Fighters ($1/ea).  Just like with their beer taps, they cycle through pins periodically so I'll check back in a few months to see if anything got swapped out. * TL;DR * If there's a place that serves beer and has more than 1 pinball table, I'm gonna find it. Nik & Ivy is a pretty typical brewery that shares a lot in common with Orange & Brew in downtown Downers Grove, as well as Black Horizon in Willowbrook.  I've only ever seen one guy behind the counter, but he's easy to talk to. I'd recommend and will likely stop in again.
