Third time here, and another great experience. Was packed, because 1) Cubs in NLCS, 2) wife had…read moreanother class reunion, and 3) the bar was hosting a "dog rescue" event. Oh, and the Leinenkugel girls were there too. Given the crowd, it was amazing how well the staff handled requests. They even had, on top of their usual menu, an extra Oktoberfest menu. Da wife had the brat and fries, and I had the grilled chicken sandwich. We also, once again, did the pita with spinach artichoke dip. Everything was tops, it all came out in a reasonable time, and again, the service was great, so I was sure to take extra good care of our young lady. Their beer selection is really good, especially in bottles. You usually think of a neighborhood sports bar as Tombstone pizza and nachos. This place is actually a destination for us for FOOD. Parking's fun, cuz it's in the middle of a working class neighborhood, and last night was a MONSOON. But overall a superior experience. Friendly crowd, too. The owner's a great guy, very involved with his joint, which is a major plus. Big thumbs up.

Initially, I was optimistic about JC Catchers Tap in Crest Hill, Illinois, due to its local appeal,…read morebut it failed to meet my expectations. The fryer oil requires cleaning, the breading is separating, and the flavor is absent. I would rate it 4 out of 10.

The prices are kind of high for a place like this. It has some cheap good drinks. Most kinds of things one would expect. They have mostly typical mass produced beer in bottles it seems.

A place for some betting entertainment. The slots provide the rest of the excitement behind the watching of sports events by active and not so active individuals. Beer and cheap cocktails are the main source of fun here. It also has places nearby to deliver pizza. There's also slots.

We arrived around 8pm on a Thursday. We were greeted by the bartender, who ended up being our…read morewaiter. He was friendly and did a splendid job checking in and making sure all was good. The atmosphere is pleasant, with background music. The building has old charm, but at the same time seemed new and fresh. We started with fried calamari, which V said was the best he had in a while. I suspect it should have been taken out of the fryer a few seconds sooner, as I detected a hint that the breading was slightly burnt. I ordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken. It was quite tasty and had generous portions of blue cheese and bacon, yummy. V had a Lamb Chop which came with mashed potatoes. He enjoyed his meal, it the lamb was cooked well done, just like he ordered. We shared a slice of Blueberry Cheesecake, and it was the perfect finish to the meal. We would definitely come back again, from hospitality, to atmospher and food, it's a very good experience.

Had to go to Joliet for work and stayed near Heroes West. A coworker from the area referred to the…read morerestaurant as a "higher end" version of Applebees. I can see why he said that. Inside this location resembles an industrial sports bar with concrete floors and iron accompaniments throughout the establishment. Service was good, the waitress was really friendly, kind, and accommodating. The ticket times were fine, not super get out of here fast, but also not you're stuck in the booth slow. Coworker ordered a patty melt and waffle fries with Italian spring rolls. I ordered basically a custom blackened salmon sandwich with only avocado on it and a side of waffle fries. I had a pretzel too. The pretzel was a bit weird for me; felt and tasted like a brioche bun which overall the idea seems amazing, but I want my pretzels exceptionally salty. The salmon was acceptable but realistically overcooked. The fries were amazing, quite possibly the best version of waffle fries I've ever had. Think of Arby's seasoned curly fries but in a waffle shape. Overall not a bad meal but not an exceptional one. I'd return if I had to revisit this area for work again.

Nottt a favourite. My sister and I pulled up last year--I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap and we…read moreshared the Smoked Chicken + Artichoke Dip and the cheese curds. It ended up being a massive bummer! For the wrap, I really do hate sounding so harsh, but I don't know how else to put it other than it was one of the worst things I've had. It was soggy, cold, and smelled--not sure about the taste since I could barely taste anything except the sauce--almost rancid! I have NEVER had Buffalo sauce taste like that before! And my lettuce was super soggy and super yellow with some browning, past the regular texture + colour for this type of lettuce. I had many more pieces, but I was so in shock from the wrap that I genuinely didn't take any photos. I genuinely felt ill and I couldn't come close to finishing it--and neither could my sister when she tried to help! The dip was OK, but again, it was cold and rather tasteless. We did end up finishing it, but it wasn't generally noteworthy. It was the best out of the three items we tried, though! The cheese curds were either barely cooked and stale or very overcooked and chilled--the cheese was hard, rubbery, and really cold! They were seasoned nicely though, so we ate enough of it--especially my sister who found some redeeming factors within them! The sauce helped! Oddly enough, we were basically the only people inside, so I'm not sure what went so wrong! There was a small post-funeral or celebration of life being hosted outside (I think???? Everyone in that area wore black/dark formal clothing and looked upset), so maybe all the care went to them?? I'm not sure how it could've really been a "bad day" since it was pretty well staffed and seemingly little stress, but I'm giving a benefit of the doubt if that's my ignorance!! The employees were so sweet and bubbly, though! Interior was cute and super lively, but EXTREMELY cold LOL. Maybe that's why our food was frigid... Redeeming points: The water tasted good!! Not much more to say, just pretty disappointed! I've heard people really like it, even people I know personally, but I really cannot think about it much without feeling ill! I wish I was joking!! Plus, my sister was returning after visiting with our father, where she ordered a Reuben which was overall OK, but not really worth the price (as she reports!). Really unfortunate! Not sure if we will be returning, but we really did appreciate the kind servers and awesome environment!
