    Gyro wrap with fries
    Kimber M.

    Megan took stellar care of us! It was our 1st time, and we were there celebrating my bday. She offered great suggestions and made sure we liked what we got. It was noisy, and felt a little bit like a "hooters lite" with the way the servers were dressed and the way some of the men were ogling them, but if you can get past that - they have an expansive menu.

    Greek salad with grilled chicken
    Nancy H.

    One of the best greek salads I've had. Everything was so fresh and the grilled chicken was SO good. The portion itself is enough for 2 people. My husband got the buffalo chicken wrap with fries and he loved it. Big portion as well. 5 stars and will definitely be ordering again. Update: their buffalo parm wings are SO GOOD!

    Good sports bar with plenty of drink and tv options available. Food is mediocre in my experience. Nachos were good after a long night out and they were open late.

    Old Fashioned made with EH Taylor small batch and Luxardo cherries.

    If you live anywhere near here and haven't stopped in I have to ask why not.? The previous owners who operated at this location under a different name had issues and lacked experience. That's all been fixed and the two cannot even be compared. The menu is simple but with something for everyone, if you can't find something that sounds great you're probably a vegan. Burgers, chicken, steaks, prime rib, and so much more. Every visit has been spot on cooked the way it was ordered hot and amazingly good. The bar is well stocked with everything including allocated and hard to find bourbons. The drinks are consistent and no short pours. Management is always on site and pays attention to every detail. If you need lunch and a beer or have a family of 10 looking to get together for dinner this is a must try place. You absolutely will not be disappointed.

    See all

    This is another good place to visit in Elgin for either drinks and appetizers or a full meal.

    Great food, baby back ribs and the fresh vegetables were excellent. The French onion soup, too. Friendly service from Alyssa.

    I went there twice. Once for dinner with my wife and daughter, and we sat in the dining room. The…read moreother time was with a friend and we sat in the bar area. See, Grumpy Goat consists of two indoor dining areas and an outdoor seating area within a slightly larger building also that has a locker room, golf shop, and meeting room. The food ranges from pub food, to sandwiches, to flatbreads, to great steaks. Both times, the bar area was louder and people tend to focus on drinks and appetizers there. There's a separate dining room beyond the bar area where full dinners seem more common. Given that my 2 trips were in November and December, don't have a good sense for the outside area. I could just see that there are several tables overlooking the golf course. On certain nights, they have live music. Great variety of drinks, appetizers, sandwiches/burgers, and entrees. Can go inexpensive, or can get a filet mignon and spent a lot. Filling choices. Prices are quite reasonable.

    Grumpy Goat Tavern is a hidden gem. The first time we went there, my husband and I were seated in…read morethe dining room. Although the view of the golf course was phenomenal, it felt old, worn out. Since the food was exceptional, we gave Grumpy Goat another try and went on a Thursday. This time we sat in the bar. The atmosphere was so much better. The views were the same as the dining room. The best part was that there was live music. About once a month, my husband and I go on a Thursday for dinner and the music. In the warmer weather, the music is on the terrace. We usually have the artichoke dip appetizer. I get the chicken saltimbocca, my husband gets the Jambalaya, and our daughters get the Lobster Mac and Cheese. One of our daughters and I get the Vina do Campo Ribeiro white wine, the other daughter drinks the lemon martini, and my husband gets a beer from their extensive list. I highly recommend this restaurant!

She assisted not only with food selectio, but quantity. She made the preplanning so easy. On the day of the event the team are well prepared and set up is exactly as discussed. They are so attentive ! For the last event the items were served and they moves gracefully and silently around the table to avoid disrupting conversations. They are professional and blend into the background . At the end of the event they package leftovers , put them in the kitchen area and clean up. They do all of this effortlessly. The food is outstanding, I have had many different selections and have not been disappointed. I have used them for not only catered event, but also for work lunches . Their portions are very generous. They excel at customer service and never disapppoint.

The host seated us and brought three glasses of water for the table. What was really crappy was the table service. A fourteen top table was getting all the attention and we were solidly ignored for more than ten minutes. Not a drink order, not even an acknowledgment that they'll be with us. Nothing. When a server finally showed up we ordered everything. Drinks, salad and entrees. That's when I started a stopwatch on the phone. It took over twenty five minutes for our dinners to arrive. The food was fine. Sorry Cafe Roma. You lost us as customers. I'll never be back.
