    Thurs drink special says $7 on website for today 3/12 but they actually charge $8. Even discussed with the server and she said website is wrong Food is always great!

    Meatloaf Tower is awesome
    Matt M.

    Took a different way to Oakbrook and stumbled across this - decided to give it a whirl, sooooo glad I did. Our waitress was amazing and when we said it was our first time there she pulled up a chair and walked us through some of their most popular items and was patient while we worked it out. The meatloaf tower was super and had some great flavor. The Cuban did not disappoint was also very good. The sleeper was the French onion soup that was popping and not the bland disappointment some places have. Such a great little sleeper that is just enough outta the way - take the time to check it out, you'll be happy you did.

    Kids Mac & Cheese

    Wow! The food was incredible, my kids and family ate everything on their plates. I got the mile high meatloaf, my wife got the buffalo chicken wrap, kids got the kids Mac and cheese and my son got the fish and chips. Everything had flavor and was hot! The service was good the waitress was nice and attentive, the only issue we had was the guy clearing the dishes was very pushy, we had barely finished and he was reaching across us grabbing plates. That would be our only complaint. The inside had a really neat travel decor and it was really neat to look at while waiting for our food!

    We took a trip down to see family, and after searching for a place to eat, we stumbled upon Madison's Pub and Grill. It was delicious! It was in a place I grew up as a child, and my father's friend owned that property. Good memories there, for sure. I ordered the black and blue burger, and it was cooked to perfection! My husband ordered the Jalapeno burger, but requested no barbeque sauce. We both loved our burgers! We both had fries with our burger. Good food, excellent staff, and a lovely experience. However, the cheese curds that we ordered were overcooked, but the parmesan that was added, was nice touch. Don't overcook your cheese curds, coming from an opinion from Wisconsinites. We will be back there the next time we venture south.

    We had the perch and the walleye and both were excellent. The quality of the fish was higher than you would expect from a pub.

Today was a good experience. I just worked out and called to ask about the dress code. No dress code, I'll be right there! I walked in and was greeted immediately and sat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and gave me time to decide without feeling rushed even as I changed my mind a couple times. I ordered the salmon and Mad Rose to drink. The drink has a lot going on and wasn't for me. It reminded me of a cinnamon orange tea, citrus and spicy. For dinner, I waffled on a couple fish dishes, but went with the salmon. It has a nice, crunchy glaze on it with some nice citrus flavors that weren't overbearing. I wasn't sure how the risotto would taste with the orange, but it worked. I was asked several times how I was doing and how my drinks and food were. Dining solo, I get ignored at times with subpar service. Not tonight access I appreciate that. I would recommend based on service and the dish I had. I will return to try more.

    After a long final day of a conference in the Chicago suburbs, I really did not feel like dealing…read morewith traffic or going out to dine solo, so tonight called for delivery. I ordered from Entourage Downers Grove and was honestly impressed with how well everything held up for delivery. The standout for me was the lobster bisque. It arrived at the perfect temperature, which is pretty impressive for delivery. The bisque was rich and luscious without feeling overly heavy, and the basil oil added a nice brightness that balanced the creaminess beautifully. It also had a generous amount of lobster, including several large chunks, and was a very solid portion overall. The filet mignon sliders were another highlight. Each slider had a substantial piece of filet mignon topped with pickled onions, microgreens, and horseradish cream on brioche buns. The onions and horseradish added enough acidity and bite to balance the richness of the beef without overpowering it. I also tried the Vietnamese summer rolls, filled with roasted shiitake mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and rice noodles, served with both peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce. Everything tasted very fresh, and the sauces complemented the generously stuffed rolls nicely. My only small critique is that cutting them in half made for a prettier presentation, but made them a little awkward to dip and eat. Overall, this was a surprisingly strong delivery experience, and I would absolutely order from them again, or better yet, make it over to the restaurant itself next time I'm in the area.

We were absolutely blown away by the attention we received from Abby while planning and during the event. Abby responded to every planning question quickly and never made us feel as if we were a bother. We were allowed plenty of time to decorate. This was appreciated and we didn't feel rushed. During the event, Zack was equally amazing. Drinks were replenished before anyone asked. He checked in often with us to see if we needed anything. A super nice guy. Top notch service. Abby and Zack are assets to this establishment. The food was delicious - but that wasn't surprising as it is always great. The filet sliders were the star of the menu - highly recommend. The fresh fruit was cut and served beautifully. They also have an in-house pastry chef, Lori. You will be 100% satisfied if you go this route. I'm a cake snob ha ha - so consider this an "expert" cake opinion. It was absolutely delicious! We asked for a half buttercream-half whipped cream frosting with a chocolate mousse filling and everyone loved it! I wish I had a piece of that cake right now! Everyone knocked it out of the park. I would use Cadence Kitchen for any event without hesitation.
