Large appetizer selection which is fitting for the bowling folks, other offerings are several burger and chicken sandwiches plus pizza. Several tv's mostly on the small size around the bar with a couple larger in the dining area. Burger and pizza on this visit was just okay. Food was served hot but was nothing special. The bartender was very pleasant and we enjoyed her company. They have a huge pool table room which was holding a weekend tournament that was fun to watch along with about forty bowling lanes. Two stars for the bar/restaurant.

Good for fun with a focus on value, Mount Prospect Public house serves a fairly standard food menu…read moreof appetizers, wings, hot dogs, salads, and sandwiches at a very reasonable price with plenty of specials available. Drink prices are also priced fairly low, even without specials though you can enjoy an evening for less than 20 a person if you order the daily specials. I went here for trivia night and the dining room was fairly spacious and well setup for this. The crowd was lively and service was friendly though not extremely fast. The food was alright for me -- the BBQ pulled pork sliders being my favorite with slightly toasted buns and a fairly sweet sauce. The chicago style hot dog looked good, but was too pickle heavy for me and a bit sloppy to eat. The maxwell street polish was quite flavorful and the grilled onion flavor came out well. The brat was alright as well but there wasn't much that was too memorable about it. The fries were alright for me, but the onion rings were a bit overcooked and too thin for me. Overall, the food is alright but the bar setup and value prices make this a good spot to spend an fun evening with friends. Like everywhere else in this area of Mount Prospect, you may have to park a bit further away from your restaurant and walk if you're going around dinner time.

There are certain Wednesday nights when the universe cracks open just enough to remind you that God…read morehas a twisted sense of humor. This was one of them. I walked into Public House expecting beer and bar food. Instead, I encountered Amanda. Ladies and gentlemen, we need to discuss the P.O.A. Index, an entirely unscientific scale developed after decades of rigorous field research conducted in bars, restaurants, airports, and regrettable weddings. Amanda is an 11-and-a-half out of 10. This is statistically impossible. She has one of those smiles that causes otherwise intelligent men to momentarily forget their own last name. A smile so radiant it could probably qualify as renewable energy. Unfortunately... she failed the Ring Check. Her left hand glimmered like the cruel punchline to an otherwise flawless joke. I briefly considered challenging her fiancé to trial by combat. Pistols at dawn. Sabers. Bare-knuckle boxing. Maybe a chili cook-off. Whatever the law allows these days. I would've won... and history remembers the brave. Now, on to Lauren. Lauren is the bartender. Lauren also committed the unforgivable crime of not swiping right on me on Facebook Dating. I wish her well, but I hope she knows she has created a permanent emotional scar that may never heal. Every time she poured a beer, I could hear Celine Dion playing faintly in the distance. My heart remains broken. The food arrived before I could spiral completely into despair. The onion rings were... objectively terrible. Hard enough to qualify as building materials. If Home Depot started selling battered masonry, these would be aisle seven. And yet... We could not stop eating them. Every ring was another terrible decision. "This one's awful." Crunch. "God, these are terrible." Crunch. "I think they're getting worse." Crunch. I've seen this same behavioral pattern in casinos. The Maxwell Street Polish was magnificent. Greasy. Covered in grilled onions. Exactly the sort of sandwich that reminds you Chicago understands things the rest of the country never will. The Chicago-style hot dog? Exactly what a Chicago dog should be. No unnecessary innovation. No avocado aioli. No artisanal truffle ketchup invented by a man named Brayden. Just an honest Chicago dog doing honest Chicago dog things. The pulled pork sliders were solid, disappearing quickly enough that nobody bothered pretending to be polite. Then came the brat... on the menu, the main topping was listed as sauerkraut. F&$@ that! Absolutely insulting. Keep your fermented cabbage and your Wisconsin propaganda. Give me onions, peppers, mustard, and enough cholesterol to make my physician visibly uncomfortable. Amanda smiled with the effortless confidence of someone who had no idea she was quietly dismantling civilization. I watched one man forget his wife's birthday, another walk into the hostess stand, and a third begin Googling engagement ring financing before she'd even asked if he wanted another Coors Light. Professional. Friendly. Catastrophically attractive. Seven stars... out of five. Lauren still owes me emotional damages. Amanda deserves hazard pay. The onion rings should probably be classified as geological formations. And I'd return tomorrow without hesitation.

They also don't have fountain drinks, only cans, so no refills. The place was pretty empty when I went. Overall, just an okay spot. Nothing terrible, but nothing special or memorable either.

It's inside a bowling Alley. The folks are really friendly and nice. The food is decent. The burger's are 5 oz. and made fresh. You get a nice brioche bun with fresh lettuce and tomatoes and cheese. The drink options aren't huge. It's not a place you linger or have a conversation. The onion rings are nice and crispy but for me I don't like the huge batter centric rings. I like a light batter with crunch so you can taste the onion. The fires are just okay. Most were a bit soggy for me.

Now this dude is serious about fresh food like, if it ain't fresh, he ain't touching it. So I took him to Emerson's in Mt. Prospect, because if you know me, you know I don't miss when it comes to food. Chicago raised me, my pops was a chef, and my three brothers all cook like they're auditioning for a TV show. We walk in, and the first thing my guy says is, "Bro... this place is CLEAN." Off to a good start. We grab a beer, and 30 seconds later he already knows what he wants -- Peach Bourbon Burger, medium. I hit 'em with the Cajun Chicken Philly. He takes one bite and instantly goes, This is EXACTLY medium... and damn, that flavor! My turn - that Cajun Chicken Philly? Listen... the regular version is cool, but add Cajun and it becomes a whole different situation. I'm all about a kick, but this wasn't a kick... this was a full‑on SLAP. Fresh chicken, fresh peppers, fresh everything. FOEGETTABOUTIT. If you ever find yourself in Mt. Prospect, do your mouth a favor and slide into Emerson's. You'll thank me when you see me.
