    We unfortunately didn't get the opportunity to eat here. We stopped in at 10pm to enjoy the live music and drink. Loved that we were able to walk back to our hotel at the end. The long island I has was $14 without tip. You could go to the bar but we had a waitress. She was very attentive and fast. They do not offer pitchers of water but she made sure our glasses were never empty. I appreciate that since we were up and dancing to the music. The establishment is two floors with table and booth seating. Very well laid out to enjoy entertainment. A few blind spots from sitting in the booth with the pillars but you should be up and dancing anyway. Bathroom was clean and well marked. There were ramps to get down to the dance floor so I appreciated that especially in heels. Highly recommend to stop in and check out.

    This was our second and third time dining at this restaurant. The restaurant is short staffed which was evident with the service and how long it took to take our orders, not only food but drinks. We went on Christmas Day and the day after. Food was alright. My biscuit with the chicken was extremely dry. Calamari was not crispy but rather soggy. Drinks were good but again, took a while to get them. We stayed at the Four Winds Hotel for two nights and made reservations here because the food is relatively good for the price. We will come back but hope some of the issues work themselves out.

    Had dinner at Kankakee before see a concert at Silver Creek Event Center. Had a short wait. We were greeted by our server pretty quickly. Two of us ordered beers. It was several minutes to get them. Ordered appetizers, pretzel bites w/beer cheese and fried green beans. The beans could use some seasoning. My husband ordered the black and bleu burger w/fries. I had the meatloaf. Husband liked his burger but it wasn't the best he's had. The meatloaf came with mashed potatoes and green beans. Mashed potatoes were barely warm, green beans were bland. The only flavor was in the balsamic drizzle over them. The meatloaf was dense. It had good flavor but could have benefited with some veggies mixed it. I couldn't finish it because it was just too heavy. The server wasn't having the best night either. My daughter ordered the Mac and cheese with chicken. Server didn't put on the chicken. She didn't know that today was Friday and forgot to give the 20% off for the appetizers. I would recommend Kankakee Grille . I do NOT recommend the meatloaf

    Shrimp cocktail

    Been visiting the casino many years but this was our first time eating in this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. Wonderful service. Drink menu is on a touch screen pad which was helpful in locating a drink. Husband was minimally hungry and enjoyed the shrimp cocktail. I tried the salmon. It was hot, nice exterior char and perfectly cooked inside. It was slightly fishy but the large lemon was appreciated. Mashed potatoes were seasoned well yet cold in comparison to the fish. Seasonal veg was green beans - undercooked but a large portion. We'll return.

    Service was pretty bad from the beginning. We had a reservation, and when we walked in there was a sign that said to wait to be seated....several employees saw us waiting, but did not acknowledge us. They had trivia going on but they weren't busy so I don't know what the hold up was. Our server got to our table and my partner ordered a beer and I said I wasn't quite ready. So she walks away and comes back about 5 minutes later to see if I was ready. I was but where was the beer that was ordered 5 minutes ago? I had gotten the lobster roll and it was alright but my fries were so over done that they were super crunchy. My partner ordered the bison ribeye and he seemed to enjoy it so that's good. Honestly the coconut ice cream that we got as a dessert was my favorite part. She dropped off the check with dessert but never returned... I had to walk up to the bar and have it cashed out.

    Our third visit to this Kankakee Grill location was not as positive as our prior visits. The live music was great as usual, but service at the bar was only mediocre as our bartender just didn't seem to have his heart into his job. It might've been related to when we asked him for his personal dinner favorites on the menu to which he had very little to offer. He mentioned that employees are not offered complimentary opportunities by management to try menu items, unless they want to come in on their days off and pay full price to try the menu options. I don't know if that's true, but the server on our prior visit mentioned something similar when we asked her for her menu favorites / recommendations. If this information is accurate, that's a real gap in both management and customer service. We can't be the only customers who ask for menu suggestions from their servers.

    The two new Severs (Erica & Kali) are a breath of fresh air. Friendly and very efficient -- they even clear away dirty plates! Love these two new servers. Good job to whoever hired them!

    Valentine's Day desert

    We had a reservation for 6:15 pm and we are driving in from Illinois and did not realize there is a time change to Eastern time zone. We called on our way there and let them know we are going to be late. They said they are completely booked and need to move our reservation to 9:45 pm. We kept the reservation and gambled for 2 hours before our reservation. We got to the restaurant around 9:30 pm and they sat us right away- restaurant did not appear to be too busy. The hostess told us there would be a band starting at 10:00 pm and we were seated very close to the stage. Not ideal for a romantic quiet dinner for Valentine's Day. Our server was ok and brought us our soup and salad before we received our drinks from the bar. Drinks were ordered before we ordered our dinner. We ordered the Valentines Day special which was $85 per couple. We finally received our drinks after I prompted the server. After the band started it got way too loud in the restaurant and thankfully we were almost done. Food special was lobster tail and a filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The food was great and steak was cooked to perfection but the temp toothpicks were still in our steak when brought out which are supposed to be removed prior to serving. Desert was good but no chocolate which I think is good for Valentine's Day.

    Very nice, laid-back outdoor patio dining experience. Food and service were great. Plenty of seating and areas were clean.

    Old fries we were served

    Got the filet... it was gross and not worth the money. All of the food in this casino tastes like it came from speedway.
