Sadly was here for a funeral luncheon. Food was delicious. Room was set up nicely. Service was great. If you need a catered event or a banquet event definitely give them a try. Good polish food. read more

Service was terrible, we were served a family style portion and staff never returned to table to replenish food. They instead went to serve a party in the next room. The food roast beef and green beans were good but the pasta sauce tasted like ketchup. Also a language barrier. read more

Sad to say, Food was terrible, Although the Room was Beautiful and had parking. Three Events happening on a Sunday night..they did not have enough Staff to serve our cold Food (Chicken taste like rubber) (Beef taste like it was from a can) we could not get staff to bring out additional sodas on and on. I will say one of the ladies that we worked with was Awesome (Helena) Great Hospitality and very accommodating. I would rent again for Cocktail party only. NO FOOD.

This place was renovated since the last time I was here 5 years ago. It looks great! The dance floor is huge, there's a stage with a screen, and the bat can serve two lines. I would consider having a party here in the future. Elegant looking place. read more

Want to recommend this Banquet as I had my sons event here in August 2025! Anna was amazing and worked with us even after we had changes.. accommodated us with everything we requested! The hall was beautiful and service team was fantastic! Very difficult to find service and quality now a days! Loved it! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! I was a little bit skeptical reading all the reviews found here, but then realized they were written many years ago! Now is completely different story. First, let me start with customer service. One word- impeccable! Ivana, with who we worked is wonderful! Very polite, kind, negotiable, patient, you can't hear - no, we can't do it, there is- we will find a way! She is extremely helpful. Helped us with suggestions for food, with decoration and with everything! Had patience for us ( because we did everything last minute) and never showed she was bothered (but probably was :-D how unorganized we were). Also, the staff was extremely polite. Whatever you ask they are ok and listen. So- customer service 10/10. Ambience: perfect! We rented the smallest room. It was clean, modern, and nice. Their center pieces, bouquet of white flowers (photo attached). Looks gorgeous! We brought our decoration for photos and everything looks really beautiful. Many interesting details included. Everything on the photos. Third: food! Mmmmm! Food was DELICIOUS! Ivana can give great suggestions! We took chicken kiev, some pork that looks like steak rolled with bacon and beaf in sauce of mushroom (family style). People- it is yumi! All other things we ordered were delicious! Our guests were full, happy, satisfied as we were too! Prices are affordable compared to some other similar places. Definitely worth checking. All in all- I am so happy we found this place! Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to everyone! I am full of impressions and if I have any event in the future, i know where am I gonna celebrate it! Thank you everyone from Lone tree read more

I am excited to recommend Lone Tree Manor for absolutely any event! My new husband and I had our wedding here in June 2025 and I was blown away by this venue and the incredible staff and owners. From the tasting prior to our big day, to the reception itself, to all of the little details behind the scenes, Anna and Tomasz are complete pros and have really created something special here. We were able to drop off some items we had made for the reception in advance, and I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived on the day that Anna had even put the cake topper on our wedding cake for us! I had also forgotten to seat our vendors but Anna and Tomasz were quick to save the day and set up some extra tables and chairs to seat everyone. The reception halls are gorgeous, with beautiful chandeliers and a huge dance floor for everyone to showcase their best moves. However, what really sets this venue apart from the rest is the FOOD! Not only was the Lone Tree team able to accommodate our vegetarian, gluten-free, and Halal guests, but everyone's meal was so, so delicious! Our guests keep telling us how tasty the appetizers, main course, desserts, and even the salads were weeks after our wedding! I cannot stop singing my praises for Lone Tree Manor and am already looking forward to celebrating all of our future milestones at this venue! read more

No stars! Worst polish food I've ever had in my life! Water pitchers on table tasted like it came from the toilet bowl and they floated a lemon in it! (Well water maybe?) Soda tasted bad too! ( coulda been the ice) Coffee was bad but hid the taste of the water Sauerkraut was terrible Kielbasa not good Chicken was pink Beef was passable Mashed potato's passable Service not very good either Hit a drive thru on the way home! read more

We hosted a memorial service and luncheon here and were so impressed with the attentiveness of the staff. Anna was so cooperative adjusting the timing of things for us. The hall was beautiful and our guests had nothing but nice things to say about the food, service, and cleanliness. read more

Never disappointed when we end up at Lone Tree Manor Banquet Hall & Catering. Food, Drinks, Service is always good and have been coming to this location for various Weddings, Anniversaries, Baptism's & Funeral Luncheons. If something is amiss, they (staff) go out of the way to make it right; The way it should be. Small parties or very large get togethers (200 or more) Staff is always hustling and trying to please all...tough order with all personalities we know. LOL!!! Looking forward to returning back, never any issue. Cheers! read more

Lone Tree can really throw a party! Thank You to everyone for making our wedding day amazing! We could not be any happier and are still getting rave reviews from our guests about the venue, food and service. The banquet hall is classy and has been recently renovated: new white marble dance floor, modern decor, and the bridal suite is a huge bonus! Lone Tree went above and beyond with the appetizer and dessert stations, and the dinner was phenomenal. The bar was stocked and the staff kept the drinks coming all night. Planning a wedding can be stressful but Anna and Tom made it much easier with their guidance, suggestions, quick responses, and attention to detail so that everything went smoothly and stress free. We would recommend Lone Tree Manor to anyone searching for a venue for any special event or occasion! read more

The banquet itself is very nice and clean. We came here for the Holiday Party 2021 and have a good time but the food was not up to part. I am sorry to say it was below an average banquet food. The bar was packed but the 2 bartenders were fast and efficient. read more

Very nice banquet hall. Food was delicious. Staff was very attentive Would definitely host an event there in the future. read more

Great place with parking lot right outside. Food is good and so is the service. Not 5 star ? Some guy(I think he was trying to do some paper work) kept telling the DJ to lower the music volume like 5 times ... well move your office some else then. Since that room is next it. Never had that issue,I've rented like 3-4 times By the way Anna and Halina are great.and so was Maria. read more

I had my daughter's bridal shower at Lone Tree Manor. The room has been newly renovated. The set-up of the tables and decorations were beautiful. We had a traditional polish menu. Food was delicious. The theme of the shower was "lunch and punch". The vodka fruit punch was really good. One bowl of bunch was enough for a party of 34 women. We also had the mimosa punch which was 2 bottles of champagne and orange juice for the guest to prepare. The table set up for the punch was gorgeous. I received a lot of comments that the shower was beautiful with great food. My daughter loved her wedding shower. read more

We had our 40th wedding anniversary party here . The food was top notch, very good and everyone was very satisfied. They cater to people who may have special dietary needs. Their service staff was very attentive. I definitely would have another party there. if you want an event that has good food, good service, at a very reasonable price , this is the place to go. read more

We recently had our wedding at the Lone Tree Manor and loved it ! The place looked beautiful- very nice centerpieces and floral arrangements. Other reviews have mentioned that the place was redone recently , and it shows ! Everything looked great. I loved the stylish chairs. The food was delicious and the prices very reasonable, too. And the staff (I believe their names were Anna and Helena ?) were pleasant, professional, and very accommodating. I would definitely have another event here! read more

We had our family Christmas party there yesterday and the food was fantastic! Barbara and her crew were very attentive! Yvonne make sure we had everything we needed!! The room was decorated just beautifully! Nothing to complain about at all we just can't wait till next year! Thank you thank you thank you read more

I came here for a baby's baptismal reception and the banquet area was pretty presentable and the perfect size for the amount of guests that showed up. The caterers weren't too fluent in english and so making requests weren't so easy. The food was okay overall, but I'd have to give them props on their friend chicken and mashed potatoes! I was expecting to have a bad experience, but it exceeded my expectations. read more

I feel the need to write a review about Lone Tree Manor as my experience with them was nothing like any of the reviews on here. I had my wedding reception held here last summer in June (2013). The staff was extremely friendly and helpful from start to finish. The food was just as I requested (no mix ups of any sort) and it all tasted delicious. All of the silverware was clean and we definitely did not have any fruit flies anywhere. I had no complaints and was really happy with how everything turned out. I included few of the pictures that I have from the reception. read more

Very disappointed with the lack of courtesy and professionalism by Anna W. We submitted an inquiry for our wedding reception and got a response from her indicating there was a minimum requirement, and she invited us to stop in as they offered various packages. We did stop in and we liked the venue. I sent 2 follow up emails advising that we were interested and though we fall short of the minimum, we were more than willing to add on services/amenities to make up for that difference. I asked if they could work with us. No response. I also called the hall, was told Anna was with a client. I asked if someone else could help me and was told no. I left a message and was promised a call back; never got one. It literally takes 2 minutes to give a quick call back or send a simple email letting us know you can't accommodate. These are important events in peoples' lives and wedding planning is time sensitive. You don't just blow people off like that. So very discourteous and unprofessional. read more

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT-AWESOME now. Just hosted my daughters communion. Everyone was very happy. Under new management: new menu, remodeled, wonderful customer service. Will upload pictures once available from photographer. Large menu selection of great quality Polish food, but also accommodating and palatable to other cultures (our functions are Polish & America/Italian). Beautiful silver wooden chairs and various table decor included in pricing. Clean. Very friendly owner and staff. Event progressed smoothly and efficiently (no waiting for dinner or courses). I believe a few guests were impressed and will be hosting their events at the new Lone Tree as well. Can't go wrong. read more

We had our bridal shower and catered a few times. We also just catered food for Easter --which was amazing! Everyone complimented the food, and asked where we ordered the food from. I've been recently to White Eagle--and it sucked. I'm glad this place has not dropped the ball with switching owners. And by the way, I just met the owner, and he was very kind, welcoming, and very helpful. He even helped load my car up in his suit, after picking the food up. Not sure what is up with all the bad reviews?? Because I find it very hard to believe in them. Take it from a person who knew the previous owners ( from catering all the time) and now the new owner (from catering as well). I will continue to come back to this place, and order more food. The place is very clean looking, I actually loved the updates they did (especially in the entrance). I would actually cater food and check the place out yourself before believing some of these negative reviews. read more

Awesome experience!!! We had our wedding here and let me tell you I'm going to recommend this place to everyone. Anna was absolutely perfect. She was very accommodating and pleasent to work with. We had a blast! Food was incredible and the room was beautifully decorated. The reviews here don't do this place justice. We will definitely come back again for another event. read more

Using a fog machine on a party to enhance my lights and laser effect at the beginning of a party, when this female manager came storm raging with a loud voice in front of everybody, that I cant use fog machine for some reason.,well most fog are water base in will not cause to trigger alarm., floor is made of wood then apply a protectant to the wood floors., bottomline the female manager is , will humiliate you in front of your crowd, will not come to DJ in this place no more, incident took place 7/5/2019 ,dinner party. read more

Nice venue and very spacious. The staff was very attentive and the chicken was delicious.

New owners Anna and Tom are a fantastic couple that worked with us every step of the way. They gave us multiple options for decoration, food, alcohol and even recommend other vendors as needed. We had an approximately 300 person Polish/Irish/American Wedding. We all fit in very comfortably within the space. The dance floor is one of the biggest I've ever seen and they had plenty of room for our DJ, five person band, photo booth, sweet table, deli hut and midnight food table. All of our guests raved about the delicious food and the amount of it. Dinner service only took about an hour and was served family style. When people asked for anything extra the wait staff was more than happy to take care of all of their needs and wants. Thank you for a fantastic wedding reception!!! You exceed our expectations! read more

Amazing place! Awesome food! Both my mom and dad had their birthdays here 2 years apart and can I say consistency? Great service, super polite staff, very accommodating. Overall 10/10, can't think of a negative thing to say. Thank you for amazing time! read more

This place had the worse Polish food I've ever tasted. Another person mentioned Jolly Inn and White Eagle and I agree they are the best. Lone Tree Manor is cheaper per person than White Eagle but the service was pretty bad. First of all we waited a long time to be served. It was a Sunday Lunch Birthday Celebration and everyone was starving. When they did bring out the food they rushed us and didn't bring us more food unless we asked for it. One person came late and I did think it was nice they brought her food but they also rushed her. They brought out the ice cream before they cut the cake so the Ice cream was pretty soft by the time they served it with the cake. The lady that runs the place seems very nice. Staff and Food very bad. read more

I had an exceptional experience hosting my son's first birthday party at Lone Tree Manor. This is a first class banquet hall and the staff here goes above and beyond all expectations to provide a 5 star experience. I signed up on Yelp specifically to create this review and tell you all the story of my amazing experience at Lone Tree. I was looking for a place to host my event and after many disappointing visits to other venues, I decided to check out Lone Tree. I did not have an appointment, but from the moment I walked in, Halina welcomed me with a smile and the warmest, kindest demeanor I have ever experienced being a customer at a business. She listened to all my needs, and took detailed notes. She then proceeded to tell me about their party packages and the decorations and arrangements they could create for my party. I was stunned with how much effort Halina put into helping me make my event be exactly as I envisioned. I returned to Lone Manor a couple of weeks later to finalize the plans for my event. Halina once again greeted me with the same wonderful demeanor as the first time I met her. On the day of my event (which was scheduled for the late afternoon), I stopped at Lone Tree in the morning, and found a large staff of people cleaning and preparing our banquet hall. I looked on as they made the space look absolutely stunning with beautiful decorations, perfect linens, and the most perfect bows on each of their beautiful silver chairs. The banquet hall looked even more beautiful than I could have ever envisioned. I was in tears! At the actual party that afternoon, the service and the food were exceptional, and the two ladies who were our servers were extremely courteous and professional. Our guests were delighted with the beauty of the banquet hall, the beautiful linens and décor, the amazing food and most of all, the exceptional service. People truly make a difference and I have found that Halina and her staff will go above and beyond for their customers and guests. I cannot thank them enough for making my son's birthday such a beautiful and memorable experience for us and our guests. Thank you, Halina and Lone Tree Manor staff! I will be returning for future events! read more

Lone Tree Manor Banquet Hall & Catering - Thank you to Lone Tree Manor staff for making our party look absolutely stunning. - Caterers Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Still P.O'd at these people. We recently hosted a luncheon here after my dad's funeral; it was one of the places suggested by the funeral home. The food was fine, but the service was awful. When you walk in, you see separate rooms - one on the right labeled "Restaurant". We assumed we were in the other, the banquet hall. There is no hostess stand. There is no one at all to greet you. So we stood and waited. And waited. No one came. With 14 hungry people in our party, I sent my husband to get someone so we could be seated. Alas, this set the tone for the entire lunch. Waited a long time before they began bringing food out (again my husband had to hunt someone down). When they did, we put in our drink orders (there was a carafe of wine on the table, and water); it took awhile before soft drinks and my daughter's milk arrived. I had no real issue with the quality of the food; the smoked sausages were especially tasty. But at the end, we had a fair amount of food leftover; there was an untouched plate of roast chicken at my table. You pay for lunch by the person; we paid for 14 people ($11.95/each). But when we asked if we could have some of the food boxed up for us, we were told no - not unless we paid for five more people. So you won't let us have the food THAT WE PAID FOR, unless we pay you another $60? My husband said no and off the food went - to the garbage, or perhaps for a busboy to take home. I don't know what makes me madder: that perfectly good food (OUR food) went to waste, or their attempt at extortion. It is appalling. The set-up of the room also became an issue for us. The banquet hall is separated into two by a dance floor. Another funeral luncheon occupied the full section on the other side from us. It wasn't a problem until people in the other party decided to get up and give toasts and tell stories about the deceased. As we were within earshot of them, we felt uncomfortable keeping up our normal volume of conversation. Basically we were at the whim of this other group. Couldn't Lone Tree put up a partition or something? At this point, we were near the end of the meal. (They never brought out tea or coffee after lunch, either. Which we paid for). So we waited endlessly - yet again - for them to bring the bill. They didn't. I suggested we all start walking towards the door. Guess what: a pissed-off woman came running then. My husband told her, "I thought you forgot about us." Beware of this place. Go to White Eagle, go to Riggio's for an Italian meal - just avoid this place at all costs. Never again. read more

So gross. I'm here, right now, and the food is terrible. Glasses and silverware dirty and I'm currently watching some kind of insect/fruit fly dance on my flat soda. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. You start out with some stale bread. Then a bowl of chickenish noodle soup that appears to be Mrs Grass without all the annoying "flavor." My salad came out and I had wilted, brown lettuce. Gross. For the entrees, we had polish sausage (ok), breaded pork patties (ok), Silesian dumplings (mushy), some kind of beef medallion thing, instant mashed potatoes (no joke) and sourkraut that was not sour and was plain disgusting. I should've trusted the previous reviews but I'm here for a birthday party. We asked the waitress for straws and she brought out three straws wrapped in her shirt. Wrapped in her shirt! There are so many better Polish buffets to visit---Jolly Inn, White Eagle, etc. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. read more

This place was terrible. Bad food, not great service, and waaaaay over priced. They charged us for pitchers of soda, when refills are free and they only gave us the pitchers so they wouldn't have to serve us as often. Ended up being $20 a head. Also, the mashed potatoes were clearly from a box. Lame. read more

Salty food. Stale dessert. Service below mediocre. Runny salad dressing. Smushy pieroggis. Felt like an extra in that movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding with the ambience of the ballroom. Bright, obnoxious, décor way over the top, mirrored walls outdated. CLEAN BATHROOMS!!!! That's it???? Yes! I may as well stay at home. read more

I bought a raffle ticket at an community event and won 2 free dinners to this place, so my husband and I decided to take advantage of it. It is just your typical banquet hall in need of updating. The buffet attracts an older crowd, so we felt a bit out of place. The food was really nothing special. read more

Lone tree manor is an overall an affordable and good place to have an event. I recent had my 18th birthday cotillion there and they did a good job of accommodating us. I recommend the cream of chicken and wild rice soup, roast beef, breaded chicken. As dessert we did get ice cream and it wasn't melted at all. Overall it was a good place to hold an affordable event! read more

Dinner service was incredibly late. Food was not tasty, served cold, looked like it was microwaved and sitting on the counter for a while-- but we ate it because we were sooo hungry. Waitstaff wasn't friendly at all, hurriedly throwing plates on the table. They served ice cream for dessert and it was melted mush! (See photo) they also served cake on hot plates which therefore melted the icing right off. I've been here a few times years ago and service was never this bad. If they want to stay in business they should really consider making some changes soon! read more
