Service was top notch. Nice, clean establishment. Great lunch and happy hour specials throughout the weekdays. Our food came out quickly and served checked on us a couple of times throughout. I like that fries are included in burgers. Plus they have lunch specials for $10+. read more

I thought I hated smash burgers. Harts has changed my mind. I swear the Lou (without pickles) but add sautéed onions is the absolute best burger in the suburbs. It is flavorful, juicy and slightly crispy edges. A perfectly soft bun. This is how a smash burger should taste. We also love the vibe, salads and tacos but I keep coming back for Lou. Only downside, no onion rings but the sweet potato fries are good here also. read more

Wow! So glad we stopped here for lunch. I ordered the Garage Burger which has sautéed onions, bacon and cheddar and bbq sauce. My wife had the their famous "Lou Burger" The smash burgers are still juicy but crispy on the edges. Paid a couple of extra dollars and upgraded to the Parmesan truffle fries. Probably won't do that again. If you get a chance to try this place out make sure you do! read more

We were looking for a new place to try. We were greeted immediately upon arrival walking in. Service was very friendly. It's a quaint little sports style restaurant/bar. We ordered the mozzarella wedges, and the Italian egg rolls. Both were over cooked. We were extremely hungry so we ate a bit of it instead of sending it back. Nice place for a cold beer. read more

The new owners took over last summer or fall, they have really put their hearts and souls into Hart's. There are so many fun happenings taking place now at Hart's: paint and sips, speed dating, all types fun sporting contests, holiday theme meals, etc, and the new owners are always present. If you have little kids, be sure to take them around holidays; the decor is out of this world. Christmas time was insanely fun, inside and out, but even now for Easter, you will not be disappointed. There are some new menu items too. I love the new tacos, chicken tinga is my favorite, but people rave about the birria tacos as well. Follow their specials for great deals too, for example, Mondays Kids Eat Free with an adult meal, on Thursdays they sell their Lou Burger with fries for $12 (I think) and Fridays are $10 apps. Support local and head to the now independently owned Hart's Garage. read more

I pulled up to Harts in Pingree Grove only because they sent a free birthday meal via the mail. This panned out to be one of the best decisions I made that month. If bad service can take away stars, well then good service can add stars. The food was way better than I expected and the vibe was chill. I haven't seen a jukebox in years, but this one was digital and the guy that was using it had a pretty good selection going. The cheese pizza with mushrooms I ordered had a good flavor. Enough to come back and eat another one some day in the near future. The matcha lemonade was nice and refreshing with a kick of lemon. I had to add a little simple syrup to sweeten it up a bit. Last, the fried dough bites were sweet and buttery. Not a big fan of chocolate, so they were good without the sauce. Service was exceptional. Juanita made us feel very much welcomed and at home. This made for a happy day and a 5 star worthy experience. read more

I'm so embarrassed to have lived in the area for almost the last 6 years and JUST NOW tried this hidden gem. Color me impressed! The ambience, the decor, the staff, and most importantly THE FOOD are all sensational! I had the BFM Burger and the cheese curds. Absolutely delicious! Perfectly cooked, prepared and very well seasoned, the pizza is also very VERY good, so good in fact I ordered a kid's and ate it before I got to snap a picture... (oops) I will definitely be back and trying hard to make up for lost time. Run don't walk to Hart's Garage. You'll be so glad you did. Sadie is also an awesome waitress and took very good care of us. Ask for her. 5/5! read more

No stars!!! Not our cup of tea! Pizza was terrible, Italian beef egg rolls--with sour kraut--just odd. Quesadilla paper thin. No flavor. Won't be ordering again. $74 for really awful food. Such a shame. read more

There's been a noticeable uptick in quality, service, and experience since the new ownership took the place over last Fall. We've been here a bunch of times since living in the area and it's turned into a reliable go-to gem tucked away in an area that you wouldn't expect. Highly recommend to check this place out and start with the smash burgers - they're pretty killing. read more

Love Harts. I'm not going to knock a star down because they always fix the issue - but if you get anything hot in one of those small condiment cups make sure you check it. It always melts though and then ruins the entire meal. But the servers are always wonder and kind, food is always spectacular. It's our go to when we want to stay local. Highly recommend! read more

We stopped in for lunch waiting for some RV repairs taking place in Huntley. We found this place by accident but what a great find. We all found the vibe to be awesome and service was great! The best part was the brand marks on the bun for some fantastic smash burgers. My grandson got the kiddie smash burger and i got the adult. If i could give this place 10 stars I would. They were very accommodating to my picky eating grandkids. Overall most excellent! read more

Calm, relaxing, makes you want to come back! read more

We stopped here on a trip to Wisconsin and we are so glad we did! The food was amazing. We got the big shot burgers and they are the big shot! They come between two full grilled cheese sandwich's as their bun. The burgers were cooked to perfection! Cheese curds were the best we've had. They were crispy battered on the outside & creamy goodness on the inside. Thanks for making a long trip stop so special. I definately would make the trip here again just for the food & welcoming atmosphere. Wish I had taken pics. read more

Garages are a good place to hang out, and this is no exception. Hart's Garage is one of the few places to go in Pingree Grove. It shares a plaza with another bar, Niko's. Basic stuff for a bar, but also some good finds out in these parts you wouldn't think would be here. The prices are okay for some great drinks, and for some of the food too. After a drive it was time for a drink. I wasn't expecting much from here. There's of course the beer and basic liquors. Forget it though, and get one of their cocktails. The one I got was the Garage Paloma. It's about $11 for most cocktails. This one is made with El Jimador Reposado, Fever Tree Grapefruit Soda, and Giffard Pamplemousse. Kind of like a pop almost. This was fizzy and sweet. Might as well get something to eat. They have some good bites including the Pretzel Sticks. It's $12 for a few that are big ass. They're good with the Lagunitas IPA cheese or basic mustard, big and fluffy. Could come back if over here again. It makes a pretty good hangout. The drinks are the best things, but you can also get food including pizzas. read more

We got a pizza on a Monday delivered and it was fresh and hot but the highlight were the bacon wrapped jalapeños stuffed with chorizo and cheese...... just one word "amazing". Not something you can do a bunch of but one or two will put a smile on your face. Paired with cold wheat beer and call it a meal. And yes the pizza was delicious also. read more

New owners! Could be the new neighbor bar, give it a chance. Good food, sports, trivia, patio and a refreshing vibe.

A true gem in the Hampshire/Pingree Grove area! - Not just a "bar food" menu - variety expands to "secret menu" and specials. - Salads are fresh and crisp. - Food is very tasty and what is advertised, is what you get. - Very happy to see VEGETARIAN and GLUTEN-FREE options. I had an impossible burger on a gluten free bun . - Atmosphere trendy, comfortable, clean and inviting. Can tell the thought and care that went into the design. - Good service. - Didn't try the cocktails, but look great. - Nice indoor and outdoor area. - Not too loud. Only reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars - not as bustling with customers as you'd expect, a bit empty feeling for my taste. Hoping this review will help change that! read more

Honestly the quality of food was great. The fries were perfect and had the perfect amount of crunch and softness. However, my order was wrong three times in a row! I understand these things happen and the server was kind enough to just cut the burger off of the bill since i basically had to eat when everyone else already finished their meal. At the end I ate a burger that I didn't order and it was ok. The build your own burger that my girlfriend got was delicious though. The menu is pretty vast to cover all taste palettes and i recommend this place to anyone wanting to grab a bite or a family looking to grab lunch. The ambiance is good, but the seating is kind of tight. read more

Hangover might honestly be the best burger I've ever had, and it was already ready in a timely matter

New to the area and the food was amazing as well the service. Ordered a Italian beef and was really good w a side of loaded fries as well.

They penalize for paying cash! When our server brought our bill we were informed that it is their policy to "round UP" because they don't give coins. So, they took eighty cents more than the total of our bill because we were paying with cash. I'm not concerned about the amount of change, but I am concerned with how they take more money than they are owed. Other establishments will give the "opportunity to round up for charity" instead of change. This place does not have that option, they just take it. They call it policy, I call it something else. read more

As much as I hate writing bad reviews for new businesses, especially in the current environment, I have to say I had a pretty bad meal here. I got nachos because they're usually safe with pulled pork and what I got was really bad tortilla chips, gas station grade nacho cheese, no beans (which I knew going into it it would not have any) and a few little amount of pork. It was overflowing with the nacho cheese so that's pretty much all you could taste. The kicker was it was $16! I had one craft beer that was $7. Look, I get things are expensive, especially for a new business, but you gotta figure out how to do more with what you got because I've had better nachos for less at soldier field and that's pretty grim. Left feeling robbed. Also, I had some of my buddy's pizza and it was ok but pretty bland and a little undercooked. read more

Great food but pricey drinks. Love the atmosphere and workers, however $8 for a cucumber water. Very small amount of pours. Really I should have taken a pic of the wine I was served. Laughing. read more

My wife and I went there on a Saturday night to grab a bit to eat. First time we have ever been there. Easy to find and quite nice inside, clean and we were promptly seated. Excellent service and very good food. We just had a couple of the burgers. I had the one with fried egg and my wife had the one with grilled cheese. All around very tasty. Also upgraded to some curds. We will be back to try something different next time. I would highly recommend giving Hart's a try, it's well worth it. read more

Amazing food get the hangover burger it is amazing the service at the restaurant was really good to they were all very nice

Burnt chicken sandwich and burgers fell thru the bun. No wings, service was lacking for such a small place. Drinks, sides and order was send to the table twice. read more

Ordered delivery (which was surprisingly fast). We got a kids pizza (which was much bigger than I expected it to be). I tried a bite and I personally didn't care for it. I thought my burger overall was ok, I expected more flavor in the meat though. Ordered delivery (which was surprisingly fast). We got a kids pizza (which was much bigger than I expected it to be).

My husband and I found Hart's Garage as we were in the Saint Charles area heading back to Wisconsin and hungry. Following a recommendation fora beer selection, we enjoyed a delicious Kolsch named Lu from Solemn Oath brewery. My husband chose the pulled pork sandwich from the Secret menu, and I picked a make your own smash burger and we shared a bowl of potato soup. The potato soup had great flavor and we even took another order home with us for dinner. My husband's pulled pork was probably the best we have ever eaten. The sauce was sweet and savory, and the brioche bun was filled with super tender meat. My burger was juicy and delicious with Swiss cheese, raw onions and roasted red peppers. The brioche bun was even branded! And their fries had a flavorful seasoning. The staff was great; friendly and attentive. Hope we get down that way again soon. read more

We had really good service here. In times when service seems to have gone down the tube... this was a welcome change and much appreciated. The food was good, too. Looking forward to going back again and trying some more things off the menu. read more

Decided to try a new place, other than our favorite Nikos. One of those 'should have known' when we realized hardly anyone is in there at 12 noon on a Saturday. But we wanted to give it a chance. After sitting for a bit, a guy came around to give us menus and waters. We started to notice there was no one else there except a younger teenager greeting people and running food. We put in our drink orders after grabbing the one single employee - he was very kind and honest, stating he really is not a bartender. I can't blame him for the red wine being refrigerator cold, and the old fashioned that tasted 'dirty'. People had come in the meantime, and everyone was just looking at each other. We decided to just leave, as there was no way wonderful Chris could handle all these new people coming in, being bartender, server, etc. We asked him where are the other employees, and he mentioned no one was scheduled until 4 pm!! How insane is that. We left, without drinking our bad drinks and gave Chris a good tip - though we should not have paid $29 for 3 bad drinks to Harts for this experience. Nikos is THE place to go to (I reached out to Harts on Facebook to give them a chance to respond, but they did not....) read more

Our Waitress Katie (I think that's her name) was super sweet and made good recommendations:) I really enjoyed the elote wrap and their fried pickles are probably in the top three fried pickle chips I've ever had. We went when it was very slow so the atmosphere was nice and calm for lunch. Will definitely come back! read more
