The employees that stayed on when they took over were all either fired or got fed up and left. I can't imagine it can stay open much longer.

This is a little bar/restaurant off 119th street, which is downtown Whiting. Service was very…read moreefficient & friendly even though they were terribly busy. We shared the Center Lounge Feast which was over 25 pieces of various seafood & an appetizer of fried cheese pierogi. Most of their food comes with a free salad buffet & pieces of cake but it's just some tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce & box recipe cake. More for just if you are desperate for your daily vege intake. The fried cheese perogies were excellent. Went very well with the sour cream. It's not the best seafood I've had but I did like it. It's plenty of food for 2. Maybe just stick with fried scallops & coconut shrimp. Frog legs were too dry. Fried fish was ok. But most definitely get a lot of the different perogies. The sides of mashed potatoes was good & mac & cheese okay. Good place to sit, have some beers & enjoy delicious perogies .

It's been over an hour and I'm now waiting in the car on a not so busy Tuesday night, for my husband to wait for our food, still...... it was pierogi, a sandwich and coleslaw. Not even a well done porterhouse takes this long . Not only that, the staff did not apologize, did not offer something for waiting an hour (not since our arrival, but since we ordered food). Don't come here in a hurry. We won't be back . A nice tip, pierogi shouldn't take an hour or look like they been swimming in a deep fryer that hasn't been cleaned for a month. Also put your fried foods in paper bags instead of styrofoam wrapped in cellophane to keep the oil spill from leaking out ! It Keeps things crisp, costs less, and is better for the environment.

Now that I think of it, I thought it was weird that there were several fans going all over the bar...water issues? Anyway, after eating our pizza, we left and caught the owner, Phil, on the way out. We told him the pizza was good and that maybe he needs to mention that soft drink refills are not free. I know it's not a big deal, but I just assumed at a place that presents itself as an upscale bar, with a "chef", that would be the case. Oh well, I paid over $8 for 3 ice filled pints of Diet Coke. I'm just saying it would have been nice to have been told that by the bartender. Then this guy goes on about he can't do that and that he has free music so that should be enough and he'd go broke if he gave away free refills of Coke! He was all huffy at that point and I have no idea what he was talking about. So to calm the situation I asked him about his live music and began to tell him that I am trying to rebrand the hall at our local VFW and he cuts me off to snap at me, "Good luck with that! Try to get 25 people in that place! Ha! Ha! Ha!" as he turned and was walking away from me. I was in udder shock! What?! It's the local VFW Hall and I'm trying to help out our veterans?! My entire point was before he cut me off, the hall holds way more people than his little, bitty place and I wanted to offer the hall so he can book larger acts. Oh well! His loss! Not really sure what this guy's deal is but it seems like my experience is a common one with him! Read the other reviews! Wow! In this day and age an owner shouldn't treat customers like this. Especially after they just spent good money in his place. SMH. Never again! Plenty of other options in the area to spend my money.

The selection was a bit overwhelming, but ended up being fun as we met my wife's relatives who lived nearby, for pizza and drinks on a Friday night. As it so happens, our invitees lived close by but had never been here before, so it was the first time for everyone. Some helpful patrons helped us how to optimize. My wife opened a tab and received a card, which was placed above a tap to activate it. Any pours would go on the card, and prices varied across the drinks (e.g. Miller Lite was $0.28 per ounce while a beer like Bird Law Hazy IPA from New England was $0.76). One can easily create flights as well. There were plenty of beers that interested me, but couldn't keep track, and as of this moment (one week later), have no idea what I drank (it wasn't a lot, just enough to keep up with the others). We did order bar food (going on the same tab), all shareable, and it was decent. One were Italian Meatballs ($10), five pieces of from frozen but tasty meatballs, coming with five pieces of toasted bread rounds. Also got an order of Nachos ($13) which was recommended by the same helpful patrons: good with plenty of toppings (perhaps too much). A Bavarian Pretzel ($8) was a winner, especially dipped in the beer cheese. And the sausage pizza ($13) was definitely tavern style (though cut into pie shapes), with crumbled sausage underneath a thick layer of cheese...tasted like a really good frozen pizza prepared well. Made me miss Midwest bar food, especially at these prices. I also learned that I suck at pulling a pint...all mine were way too foamy and since you pay for any beer you pull, throwing away the foam was not a good idea.

To get there from DeKalb by air, I had to dog-leg the flight over Cushing Field (to stay out of the Aurora and Lockport airspace) and then head east from there. Important note for pilots: If you are landing, try to make it to 9/27, or you'll have a long taxi up to the terminal where the restaurant is at. Once you are there (by AIR), you'll go to the far left end of the big building (you can see the beer signs in the window). Make sure you remember the CTAF (you'll need it to get back on the airport), and go through the gate, go up the elevator, and walk into the restaurant. Ambiance-wise, this place has large windows, a very large bar, a Namco Ms. Pac Man / Galaga game, bathrooms that are reasonably clean, some gambling machines, and decent food. I ordered their Pulled Pork Sandwich, which came with french fries. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Plate, which came with cole slaw, garlic toast (2 pieces) and a green bean caserole. I ordered the pulled Pork Sandwich, and I ordered it spicy. It was not spicy by any definition. The amount of barbeque sauce provided was around a 1/2 of a shot glass. It was not enough. With that said, the barbeque was dry and needed the barbeque sauce. The fries were nice and fresh. My wife had the Pulled Pork Dinner. I sampled her cole slaw (with paprika, very good) and the green bean casserole - which seemed to use canned green beans, ugh. Very soft, the mouth feel was b l a h. Service was solid. We were greeted (walk in, no sign, sit where you want), and helpful. The food just wasn't as good as other barbeque places.

Quiet out of the way spot perfect for an after work cocktail and a bite…read more Honestly, it's the ambiance that make it special. It is so relaxing to have a drink on the patio overlooking the golf course. I have rarely seen it crowded unless there is a special event. They often have live music inside and that can generate a crowd. The hours are shorter than you would expect for a watering hole. They close at 8:30. I'm told that has something to do with their relationship to the park district, but whatever the reason it's kind of nice. It attracts adults. There will be no "going for one drink" and then somehow stumbling home in the wee hours (we've all done that right? not just me??). Pop in have a couple drinks and go home. As for the food, I can say while there's nothing particularly remarkable, I have yet to have a bad bite here. The menu is appetizers, salads, sandwiches and pizza. We usually gravitate toward the apps: fried pickle spears ($8.25) with ranch are delicious but eat them fast - soggy spears are no good, Angus beef sliders (3 for $10.75) are always juicy and well seasoned - you may even want to order 2, The big Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese ($10) an absolute must. If you're looking for a low key place to catch up with a friend or unwind after the day from hell, give them a try (and you'll be home in time for the nightly news!)

I also had the Shrimp Avocado Salad with Bacon and a House Ranch Pesto Dressing!!!! Let's get into this salad, the explosion of flavor from the dressing and the seasoned shrimp is noteworthy, my only suggestion is I think a Romain lettuce will allow those flavors to truly marinate on the palate better than the bitter planty taste of the leafy mixed greens!!! Maggie gave me a to go cup with my Pesto Ranch Dressing, she gets a gold star and we will certainly be back!!!!!! Don't miss out on Willey's Grill located on Kedsie in Homewood.
