    Sweet Potato Fries
    Jan M.

    Yesterday was our first in person dinner at MP. We have always ordered carryout in the past. We love the food and the staff and ambiance are welcoming. My Protein Cobb salad with Balsamic dressing and Sweet Potato Fries were both excellent! MP's Ribs and Mac and Cheese are a favorite of my husband. I am also a big fan of the Fig'n Awesome burger and house made chips. Cocktails, beer and wine are offered in the restaurant and they have an extensive catering menu.

    Funny I wrote a review here before when they first opened . We decided to come here because the synergy movie theater didn't have anything that looked very appealing for the weekday and the other restaurant was closed. I'm glad I came here. We got it on their happy hour, and I tried a pot roast slider and had big pieces of caramelized onion, and the pot roast it was a little dry so I asked the girl for some Ajou. It really made a difference I ordered the happy hour. Mediterranean dip was fantastic. My boyfriend had the Patti out, which was also really good and we got it with the cutest little metal basket of sweet potato fries, I would come back here and try a lot more food that has a really good rating. I didn't remember it being that exceptional when I came before but I will definitely put this on my rotation. The service was OK. The girl was by herself she gave OK service,

    Kids Mac n Cheese

    This is a great add to this cool new area in Wheeling! My family if 5 was seated immediately at 5pm on a Friday. The kids menu is excellent - grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, cheeseburger, pasta, and chicken tenders - all things that my kids will actually eat (it's a miracle!). The Mac and cheese was a little bland, but I added some pepper and it was good. The Kick my Angus Burger was SO. SPICY. My husband quite enjoyed it. I love spicy food, so I tried it and omg! I could not believe how spicy the fresh jalapeños were! But this is not a "little spice" burger.... Woah. Homemade chips were really good and sweet potato fries were on point. We will definitely be going back! It's so hard to find something that works for us with the kids and this really nailed it.

    Nacho Platter
    Cristel M.

    I've been to Meat and Potato before, but it had been awhile and I was looking forward to going back. I was STARVING when we arrived for a late lunch, and eager to try some new items on the menu. We started with the nacho platter appetizer because I had a coupon for a free appetizer. The nacho platter was enormous and delicious -- definitely the best nachos I've had in many years. Three of us shared the nachos, and honestly, they could have sufficed for lunch, but we went on to order lunch. I ordered the caprese chicken wrap with a side of homemade chips. The two had great potential, but it was assembled in chunks of ingredients, so I had several bites that were solely tortilla and thick basil, and then other bites with just chicken. If the ingredients had been mingled better inside the wrap, it would have been great. I really liked the homemade chips, but when I tried another person's sweet potato fries, the chips just couldn't compare. Note to self - stick with the sweet potato fries next time! Because we'd filled up on nachos, we all had leftovers. Not complaining. This place has a nice menu and I'll be back to try more -- or maybe just to split some great nachos and call it a meal.

    Oven Roasted Chicken

    From the outside and from their takeout menu, this place seems like it'd be a fast casual place similar to McAllister's, Potbelly, or Cafe Zupas. However, this is actually more of a very reasonably priced sit-in restaurant with serious food and plenty of TVs to watch sports on. As Kesha mentioned, the Spud Nachos and Burgers are great items to try here. The spud nachos come in an enormous portion and are surprisingly tasty with the cheese sauce and bacon bits. The burger is cooked well, though I wish there was more seasoning on the meat. The slightly grilled brioche bun with a light crisp provides a nice texture to go with the other elements. Overall, a nice place to grab a bite with better flavors, food options, and atmosphere than what you'd expect from a sports bar.

    What a WONDERFUL dinner we had! The atmosphere was welcoming, waitress and other staff were friendly and efficient. We enjoyed cheese curds for an appetizer. That and the rest of the food was popping hot and DELICIOUS!! Portions were HUGE!! I was going to have a milkshake ( the next table bought some and they looked wonderful)...but sadly, I didn't have room left... Maybe next visit I'll start with one! There were lots of other options I would have liked to try...I don't think you'll go wrong. There's even a social media photo location!

    This place is always an easy and good meal. The restaurant has plenty of seating both indoor and out. My husband is obsessed with the grain bowl which keeps him coming back time and time again. I don't think he's tried anything else on the menu for fear that it won't be as good I love that their gluten free bread is genuinely delicious and doesn't taste like a dried disc of dirt like most places. I'm so grateful to traditional restaurants like this that actual try for us gluten free peeps. They will always have my business for that!

    Side salad $5
    Lindsay J.

    Beautiful restaurant! Love the decor and our waitress was really friendly. We popped in for lunch before a baseball game at the Heritage Park fields next door. We wanted a light lunch. The side salads were standard: lettuce, tomato, onion and cucumbers, but they came w/a garlic butter roll on the side. That was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the lettuce tasted like it needed another round of rinsing. Next came the Avocado Flatbread to share. The pickled onions were my favorite part of this dish, but the bacon was a close second. There was a lot of arugula atop the avocado, be warned if you aren't a fan of the flavor of arugula, there is so much it cuts through the other toppings. We liked, not loved, it. There is a lot on the menu! Lots of burgers, wraps and mains...and tons of drinks. If you live in the area or are at the fields, check them out.

We had about a 15 minute wait for a table but it gave us time to peruse the menu in the car. They offer many classic tiki cocktails, a page full of seasonal drinks, a page of "Designated Driver" mocktails (nice to have an option for something other than just a Shirley Temple!), Polynesian appetizers and entrees, and then Lola's Pizza. For drinks, I got the seasonal Gingerbread Painkiller and my husband got a Green Flash mocktail. (Pro tip on the seasonal drinks: check the regular cocktail menu to see how many skull and crossbones are listed under the regular version of your drink, if applicable, to see if it's a super strong one!) Mine was creamy and spicy but quite powerful. Props to our waitress, Makayla, who checked if anyone at the table was epileptic, because normally the "flash" part of my husband's drink is a strobing LED ice cube; I actually am photosensitive, so it came in the drink in non-strobe mode and just glowed an alien green. She said this was the first time it had actually paid off to ask, but I'm glad she did! The food was tasty: I ordered rumaki, an old-school appetizer of bacon-wrapped water chestnuts that you don't see very often these days, and he got loaded fries. We also got a small Lola's Pizza, which was very good, with a crisp but also chewy crust. The atmosphere here is pure tiki, with a fountain, swag lamps, bamboo, and Hawaiian-influenced Christmas music playing for the season. Lots of big groups here; everyone seemed to be having as good a time as we were! What a laid-back gem in Arlington Heights! We'll be back. Mahalo!

The cod was tasty and came with mixed veggies, coleslaw and a choice of fries, tater tots or red potatoes. I chose the potatoes and really enjoyed them. We arrived at 4:30 and snagged the last table in the very small dining area. The bar was pretty full, too. As we ate, a line began to form at the door for people waiting for tables. We probably would have stayed longer and eaten a little more fish if not for the number of people standing basically right behind us waiting to eat. All-you-can-eat is a great offer, but with only a handful of tables inside, it's probably not the best business strategy. And honestly, the plate had a good amount of food on it, so we didn't *need* more anyway. Kilcoyne's is tiny and has a better menu than I'd expect for what seems like a dive bar. I'd try the fish fry again, or maybe something else from the menu. However, I would not be willing to stand in the crowded doorway waiting for a table.

On a weekday evening, as expected, the restaurant was not busy.  We were promptly seated at a 4-top table (2 × 2-top) against the right wall, with some other 2-tops on both sides.  Like many reviewers had mentioned, the venue was beautiful, modern and chic. There were 7 tables occupied, including us.  The music that they had was not too loud, just that customers' conversations were amplified by the box shape open dining area.  If we focused enough, we could hear every conversation if we wanted to.  This was obvious when a table of about 6 women got seated at a table near the front door, some of them laughed and talked very loudly.  My husband and I just found it funny and didn't let that bother us.  However, when the restaurant is filled on busier days, it might be a different story. Our server, Patrick, was very nice and attentive.  Since they did not list drinks on their menu except those with alcohol, I asked him about non-alcoholic drinks.  After a brief "discussion", he asked me to leave it to him to make me a drink with mango.  He came up with a beautiful drink that was good and refreshing, with some mango flavor.  It was Virgin Paloma on our receipt for $8, which was reasonable.  He was very polite and checked in on us several times at appropriate times during our dinner.  The pace of the dinner was good, we spent a total of an hour and 15 minutes in the restaurant. Patrick might be the only waiter serving all the tables that evening, though. I also ordered Grilled Octopus ($22) which was very good, tender and flavorful, but was a little too salty to my taste.  The small pita bread wedges were warm and fluffy with some crispy edges, the beet hummus was creamy, and everything was delicious and tasted fresh.  I generously shared 2 little bites of octopus with my husband and I finished the entire plate, it was so good!  My husband really liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) and I shared a bite of that too.  He also had a House Salad for $6, that was a very good value.  He enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Crossing ($12) too.  We also shared an order of Crème Brulee ($8), that was creamy and cooked perfectly.  We ordered a takeout order of Rigatoni with Sausage ($23), that was a good portion, and was still delicious and al dente the next day after being microwaved. I am so happy that we found Social Inn - a hidden gem in Plaza del Prado, it's not far from home, with comfortable and beautiful ambiance, excellent service (from Patrick), an attractive menu with enticing food (fresh ingredients and appealing plating), and reasonable prices, we will definitely be back!
