    Buffalo Chicken wrap
    Jessica G.

    Great local spot - solid pizza, good beer selection, the buffalo wrap was great! Service is always solid. A solid spot for a game and beer too

    Dead rodent in Salad. No concession.

    Since new (Corporate Management) took over - it's a totally different place. Rude, weak drinks, food not any better than fast food. New staff that have some in to make this once hometown favorite a total disaster. No room whatsoever if sitting at the bar. At a dining table, service is uncaring and unprofessional. They now charge 2.00 for a side of sauce/dressing. Use to be on point, prior to the change - all the good bartenders have left. Service 0 Food 0 Wait - far too long Beware and stay away!!!!!

    GF taco pizza

    We had an excellent experience coming here for the first time. We actually came on a Tuesday hoping there would be bad bingo (as seen on their website), but no such luck. However, they did have all you can eat pizza (one topping) which a decent amount of tables seemed to enjoy. I had their taco pizza (massive) and my table had a variety of things ranging from tots, to salads, to sandwiches. Everything was tasted great. The best part of this place was the service and ambiance. The service was like you walked into your family's home. The waiter was sooooo kind and I didn't feel rushed to order, to eat, or leave. Highly recommend this place for a good pizza, drinks, and a hometown vibe.

    Sausage and garlic deep dish pizza

    Hitz is a quality neighborhood pub and restaurant where you can get good drinks and food. I have been to Hitz a handful of times of which most were for pizza carryout and a couple of times for dine-in. On all of my visits, I have received good service. The menu pricing is reasonable. I enjoy having their thin crust and deep dish pizzas. I like their taste. They have pizza and other specials that you can check out on their website. On Mondays and Thursdays, you can get 1/2 price pizzas for dine-in only. They have a happy hour deal from Sunday to Thursday between 3 pm - 5:30 pm. In their bar area, you can catch sporting events on TV while enjoying your favorite drinks and food. Their bar area is usually busy and happening. Check out their beer selection. I recommend checking out Hitz for those who have not been here before. It's popular among the locals.

    We've ordered from here a few dozen times and it's usually in the rotation with Nino's and a few other local joints. Last night, I had the best thin crust cheese pizza of my life from here (I feel like Portnoy doing a cheese pizza review). We also had a taco pizza which was also excellent, but the purpose of the post is to laud the cheese pizza. I grabbed a pic but not before my daughter took two pieces... Everything on the pie was perfect - crispy crust all the way to the middle, perfectly balanced cheese blend, cook time and color. Whoever was working the pizza oven last night deserves the praise - amazing work and we will be back as usual!

    This is an iconic place with old school decor, and honestly has some of the best thin crust "tavern…read morestyle" pizza I've ever had. The peanuts in the shell are still a bit strange to me, but it's part of the old school ambience that gives it character while some patrons at the bar go with just drinks and peanuts. I kinda get it. Anything on the menu will be fine, but go with the pizza (or hot dog & fries if you're looking for a really good deal). The pizza is REALLY good. There's a gaming area for those who are interested, and service has always been great on many past visits especially from the awesome bartenders. Mundelein has a surprising number of really good restaurants, and Bill's is definitely one of the places you need to try. Well done!

Step inside and the slot machines are to your left before you even get to the hostess stand. The extremely dark woods gave that stuck in the middle of the woods moment where you don't think you can run faster than Jason Voorhees iykyk. Then there are the peanuts. They brings you shelled peanuts right away to your table. So if you have a peanut allergy (don't go!) as I was walked to the table the peanut shell were under my shoe making it a slight slipping hazard. Yep! This is how they take me out. The wait staff are friendly though. The offered suggestions on what to eat and what to avoid (weird) and I just stuck with the pizza. That is good because it was so dark, I used my phone as a flashlight to read the menu that had bits of peanut inside it. The sausage pizza arrived and I took a bite. I had to pause. Not because it was good. It was fine. Because I couldn't understand the taste. Is that wine in the sauce? Maybe too much fennel in the sausage? I am not sure. But I can say, for the price I was about to pay, I am going to eat it. I am sure there are other people who love it, but this place is not for me.

    Old Munich Tavern is a solid go-to for late-night food. The menu is mostly pub food and sandwiches,…read morebut it's a step above average bar fare. Everything we tried was good, satisfying, and exactly what you want late at night. The turkey club stood out--real turkey, not processed deli meat, which feels surprisingly rare these days. Overall, we liked the food and would especially recommend ordering takeout if you're craving dependable, higher-quality pub food after hours. Unfortunately, not having been in person, there is not much that we can say about the ambiance or staff, though they do accommodate substitutions on takeout, which is an indicator of good service.

Their food menu is basic American and has items like burgers, chicken wings, fried fish with fries, BLT sandwhiches, etc and THE ONLY German food option was.. the bratwurst hot dog. The sausage was fine, served with piping hot home made fries that I liked a lot, and a small cup of hot sauerkraut that was very good too. The beer menu was much better in that respect and offered a handful of German options, a few very exotic ones but majority of it was all American. I had the Dortmunder Actien-Brauerei (DAB) Original and enjoyed every drop of it. Totally recommend. Tuesday at 1AM, surprisingly the crowd started to pick up the number of people and it was getting LOUD. I did not expect that. There were 3 tables inside but most people were hanging by the bar. I checked with the bartender if it was ok to grab the table and he didn't mind and even brought my food to the table, even though he then politely mentioned that ordering is at the bar. The tavern is a very local hangout.

The first thing I noticed was that all along downtown Lake Forest were large LF flags so it must have been before the football game. There were lots of families in Duffer's, and they had the windows open and the setting seems rather spacious, with golf simulators. We ordered burgers and tots, which were decent (tots - yum!) although we were let down by Beer Nuggets, which were like pillsbury crescent rolls with red sauce and neither beer nor nuggets. The Detroit style pizza did look very promising and I saw lots of pizza being carried out. Duffer's had a fun, friendly vibe and I'd come back to try the pizza.

    Wow. I've been here multiple times, and not once have I had a good experience…read more I came here with my family for drinks and ended up having the same bartender who has caused issues in the past. First, he struggled to take five drink orders and brought out the wrong drinks. The bar wasn't even busy, yet we waited more than 20 minutes for them to arrive. When they finally did, the drinks tasted watered down. I politely mentioned this to him, and his response was, "You're f-ing with me." I told him I would rather switch to beer because I didn't want to continue drinking poorly made cocktails. He then replied, "Don't be surprised if the bucket of beers you order comes to you half empty." His behavior was incredibly rude and unprofessional, and he constantly complained about everything throughout our visit. Getting the check was an absolute nightmare. Somehow, he deleted our bill and couldn't find it. When he finally brought us a check, the total seemed way too high. It turned out he had charged us for another party's bill. When we asked for an itemized receipt, he acted annoyed and complained about the request. The issue was eventually resolved, but we were told they couldn't cancel the transaction, so the other party had to reimburse us in cash for the amount we were incorrectly charged to our bill. We asked to speak with a manager, only to find out there wasn't one on-site on a Friday night. Instead, we were given a handwritten name and phone number. As I said, I've never had a good experience here. Some members of the staff were helpful and understanding, but this particular bartender has been a recurring problem. I don't know if he was intoxicated, under the influence, or simply having a bad day, but the level of incompetence and unprofessionalism was unbelievable. This place feels like an absolute circus.
