    I came here with a group of co-workers for lunch. It was a neat open space with a welcoming atmosphere and a large bar. They looked like they had a pretty great beer menu, but alas we were all on the clock. Service was attentive, and everyone enjoyed the food they ordered -- salads, wraps, and sandwiches. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich, which was very messy to eat but also quite yummy. I loved their french fries. This would be a really fun spot to watch a game.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Food was excellent , however service was slow. I believe they were understaffed, which happens .. the atmosphere was attractive.

    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.

    A friend and I were shopping in Elgin and decided to get something different for lunch. We noticed…read moreCulinary Fox Cafe had the type of sandwiches we wanted. The location was on the back of a building along Randall Rd. There was a lighted sign which helped. Yelp directions got us there. The cafe was modest size with about 6 tables. Food was ordered along a counter. Ingredients were fresh and good quality. The service was good and the staff very pleasant. The wait time for the food was appropriate considering everything was made from scratch. I ordered a Cuban sandwich. It was delicious and was served with a side (I chose potato salad). There were cucumbers, tomato, and pickle as a garnish. My friend had the California Chicken Club and commented that there was fresh chicken breast not just lunch meat. We both enjoyed having lunch there and would return again. I recommend this little cafe. They also seemed to have many customers who picked up food for carry out.

    This was NOT good at all. Food tasted greasy and also tasted and smelled like fries. We ordered the…read morehaddock dinners with potato wedges. The fish and potatoes tasted the same. The greasy smell was a little over powering. If I could give them zero stars, I would. It was a total waste of our $45.90. Do NOT visit this establishment, you're better off flushing your money down the toilet.
