    Lucky Scottie - Chicken Bacon Wrap

    Lucky Scottie

    (20 reviews)

    First time here. I ordered a Lucky burger and my company ordered the chicken bacon wrap and…read morecalamari. If I would have seen the wrap prior I would have ordered that. Not that my burger was bad, that wrap looked delicious and I was told it is. This wrap was served with fries. My burger was cooked as requested, medium well, tender and juicy. This burger was served with fries as well. The calamari was good as well. Slightly battered. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is nice. Our server waa nice and very attentive.

    What a pleasant surprise - we loved it! We came up to Waukegan for a show at the Genesee Theater…read moreand had time for dinner beforehand but hadn't made any reservations anywhere. We stopped in to Lucky Scottie in for a pre-show dinner and we were greeted quickly and seated soon thereafter. The service was amazing and the food was terrific. The calamari was absolutely delicious. LOVE that they have a pre-show menu so we were in and out quickly. We both got the burger special and it was delicious. I had a chocolate martini and my husband had a Manhattan - both drinks were perfect. The owner, David, is amazing. He's everywhere and never stops moving. His team is so professional and quick. The must all be exhausted at the end of the day. My husband and I were talking about how we don't come up to Waukegan for show because the drive from home (1+ hour) is such a drag, but we both agreed we'd come more often just to have dinner at Lucky Scottie beforehand. Five stars - definitely recommend for a bite before the Genesee Theater.

    Win Win Restaurant and Bar - Calamari appetizer $12

    I'm not familiar with this area but I happened to be in town so I searched "cocktails near me" on…read moregoogle, and this place had 4.5 star rating. It also appeared to have several vegetarian/pescatarian options so I checked it out. It's 5:00 pm on a Wednesday and there's only one other customer in here. I ordered the calamari appetizer and it appears to be breaded and fried frozen calamari - the onion ring type. The liquor and beer selection is very limited. Nothing too great here except a couple of halfway decent bottles of scotch, surprisingly. The Yelp reviews star rating is much lower than the google reviews for whatever reason. I didn't see that until after I got here and sat down. There is Mexican music playing and the bartender is having a conversation in Spanish with the only other customer here. They seem to know each other. I was expecting a bit more from the google reviews and photos but as I said, I'm not familiar with the area. The calamari was served with a bland creamy orange colored sauce. Maybe I should have ordered the shrimp. No paper towels in the men's room but there is soap at least. The service was good but I was the only one there after a short time. It was $35 for 2 servings of cheap cabernet and a frozen calamari appetizer. I still tipped 20%. I probably would not come back.

    There's a reason your restaurant is suffering. Turning away regulars for your half filled "private…read moreparty" is one of them...

The gyro meat has lots of flavor I loved it! Our server Ivan was attentive & service was top notch. The place is huge with lots of space for groups. Plenty of TVs to watch sports & even some slot machines in back room.

    If you need a lively sports bar experience with copious beverage and food choices while staying in…read morethe Lakehurst/Fountain Square commercial area, Anastasia's is your place! While I consider myself a foodie, I had little interest in driving around the Waukegan area the night I visited Anastasia's. At first it appeared to be a great choice--myriad people in the bar area talking, eating, and reacting to the televised game. I ordered a glass of wine to start; the pour was rather skimpy. Tempted to order another, I realized a single glass was on the border of my daily alcohol per diem?! I decided to forgo the pizza special for wings and cheese curds. The resulting dishes provided a healthy amount (see picture), however, taste (as other Yelpers note) was average. When you rack up $55 for cheese curds, wings, and a glass of wine, AND you leave feeling 'meh'--for me, Anastasia's is an easy, "Well, I tried it..." experience. I think my next two visits for work will be branching out to the surrounding area for alternative dinner options.
