As usual the ambience is nice as the restaurant is located in Historic Roscoe Village. The hostess seemed flustered and never brought the kids menu like she said. The menu prominently states 1/2 apps in the afternoon, but haha. Not *all* apps are included, and you don't realize it until the bill comes. They revamped the menu and took away the Tenderloin sandwich. Instead you get an overpriced $19 burger that would be better at Wendy's. Plus the waitress was overworked, a management fail.

We got jalapeño poppers, pretzel bites, turkey club sandwich, chicken tenders and fries, fried pickles, cheeseburger quesadilla, loaded baked potato with pulled pork, and a salad. If this place wasn't two hours from us, we'd visit more often. Halfway into our trip it started raining and didn't let up so our hopes of eating outside along the riverfront were a wash. But the food was great! I'd highly recommend the Boathouse Tavern and we will be back!
