Again, don't fall asleep on this place and drive past it to hit some fast food burger chain. Buddy's is the real deal. Great, family owned joint with friendly and quick service. Deliciously prepared food... at a very affordable price-point. I went with the turkey burger, while my counterpart ordered a full-blown burger with a ton of toppings. We both got sweet potato fries and they were also delicious. The turkey burger was really good. I can't say it was as good as their regular burger, but it was definitely one of the best turkey burgers I've ever eaten!!

I had all the options! We ordered the Death Grip IPA and Briéekraut Oktoberfest, which we both loved. We started our meal with an order of nachos to start, and they were covered in a delicious nacho "cheese" and a a chili. My meal was the loaded Mac n Cheezy Bowl - which was so incredible (especially when you don't need to worry about the amount of dairy in it!!). My husband got the Grilled Cheeze Steak Tacos and really enjoyed them! The taco is made with a mini quesadilla as the shell with a delicious filling. Our server was extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great experience. The restaurant definitely feels like a classic brewery with fun decorations and exposed brewing equipment, which is always awesome to see. Added plus is they have free Tesla charging for customers! (Possibly other electric car charging, but I didn't check) We will definitely be back!

Thank you to the owner for responding and updating us with the new hours. We stopped in again…read moretonight to give it another try and it was GREAT!! The service was amazing, but we forgot the name of the server. She was helpful, gave recommendations and assisted in decisions between items. We ordered an appetizer of shrimp and it was AMAZING! Great portion size and great taste. We had the Mac and Cheese and the Philly Cheesesteak Wrap. Both items were delicious and more than enough food to fill us up and have leftovers. The best part of the restaurant is the draft wall. You can choose from multiple types of beer, mixed drinks, or straight liquor for mixing yourself. It added fun to the experience pouring your own beverages. The bar is very spacious and allows for multiple seating scenarios from high tops to regular chairs, to couches. You can watch teams play sports below or play pool and darts. I am very glad we gave them a second chance, it was worth the trip back. Thank you for a great evening.

The location was very clean with a unique atmosphere. The bar offered an excellent selection of beer and bourbon, including higher-end bottles. Ryan was our server and did a fantastic job--he was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations since it was our first visit. We ordered two regular cheeseburgers, a Beef and Blue burger, kids' mac and cheese, Parmesan bacon tots, and sweet potato fries. The food came out quickly, the portions were generous, and the mac and cheese was real and homemade--not processed. We would definitely return the next time we're headed to a game.

That proclamation is no longer accurate! Buona opens up here and changes the Italian beef landscape overnight! Intense Italian seasoning, paper thin slices stacked high, gravy (au jus) with even more seasoning floating in it, and a great roll all combine to make an excellent and unparalleled (as of 10-9-24) Italian beef sandwich experience. Bonus: excellent rigatoni served perfectly al dente. The sauce (gravy) was as good as anything I've ever eaten. Try it! Great service. Comfortable chairs. Has an ice cream place attached to it, Rainbow Cone.

Note: More information is available on my Yelp profile…read more The Mill is a bar and grill style restaurant that opened in May 2023, and at time of review it had been open nearly a year. Pros: + One of the more curious questions about the Mill I ask myself was, is it more of a restaurant or bar? I've deemed it more the former. The stronger restaurant vibe makes it more family friendly, helps with the food quality,and just gives it a better atmosphere + Speaking of atmosphere, the building itself had gone under a lot of renovation and its cleara lot of effort went into the design of the bar and dining area. Very well crafted and very clean. Feels up to date with the times. + This makes it a good spot for group events. It could easily handle 30+ people, and the Mill has a crazy amount of TV's which come in great for sporting events + early 2024 added gaming machines if playing slots is your thing + One final note on the atmosphere I really like their outdoor patio and they have wonderful potential for summer outdoor seating if they became so inclined. + The food throughout my visits have maintained an exceptional level of quality that I find unusual for a bar and grill. Most of the time, I simply tolerate food at a sports bar style establishment. The food here is actually consistently good, and could compete with many sit down corporate chains out there. + Patrons will not go hungry except for maybe the heartiest of teenagers + The Mill has steadily simplified the menu which is probably a good call. My personal favorites tend to be the burgers, and the soups. + There are menu items that I will also get from here that I would "almost never" try at a bar. The Mill is surprisingly great at salads, veggies, and sandwiches. The Turkey BLT being a personal favorite. This place really dispels the notion that I would have to stick to fried food + One of the most unique things about the Mill is the owner's tendency to allow their staff to experiment. I've seen it with entrees, drinks and especially soups. In my opinion this keeps their menu fresh and the offerings interesting. Cons: -Speaking of unusual this brings me to my first con. It's easy to pass and miss this place from the road due to their geographical location. It's only accessible via service road on IL 251, and hides the place and messes with GPS a little - I love the soups, but it is a complete roulette wheel as to what will be available on a given day. -Finally an element that is common in any business (especially with sports bars) post COVID is the realities of staffing. As I've done more travelling in recent years, I've noticed that many places especially restaurants may be subject to a service level drop due to staffing. It has forced me to re-evaluate how much emphasis I place on service speed. Therefore I no longer consider it to be a realible rating tool Bottom Line: ***It's clear to me that the ownership and staff at The Mill have great passion and drive. They are a great local business. I am usually careful about giving the 5 star, but in this case I feel it is warranted. Their food quality and consistency is easily a cut abovemost "bar businesses" in the immediate area.

I was also on the phone with my bank wanting to stop in for one drink. after about 15 minutes of nonsense and the bartender screenshot in a pic off my phone showing that in fact, my money was taken off my credit card, I said can I at least get a beer for all the hassle she said let me ask my manager. This manager ACTUALLY SAID NO!!! as if I was trying to pull some sort of con! This is CUSTOMER SERVICE 101!!! My advice to anybody that visits this establishment is to pay cash! What is that old saying about people that had a great experience ?? they tell two or three friends! And if you've had a bad experience, you tell like 50 people! Unreal! It's actually a joke to me! I will run my mouth to everything I know! In fact, I already have and they were like oh my God that's totally pathetic that they wouldn't give you a beer! So I'm playing a machine drinking water! Real classy Trop Club! Now, I would like to add that the bartender gave the manager or owner my phone number and she was supposed to call me the next day. That never happened.! so I left them a message on their messenger FB and still nothing the day after that! I don't know if it's the manager or the owner that gives zero fuqs , but all I have to say is good luck in your future endeavors! When I ran retail establishments in the past I would do anything to make that customer happy in the realm of my authority! I'm more than sure one measly beer wouldn't have put them out of business!
