Nobel House is a regular go-to restaurant for us with their awesome smoked pork and brisket offerings. Tonight we changed things up and got the blackened salmon Caesar salad and pulled chicken rice bowl. Both were wonderful. Serving sizes allowed for leftovers and another meal later on! We also got the Dynamite Shrimp to start. Highly recommend!! Great flavor with a slight kick and LOTS of shrimp. Eating indoors is always nice, but on a summer evening, their patio was the way to go! The staff was very attentive, with two managers stopping by personally to see how we were enjoying our meal. Beer selection also vast and delicious. read more

The "adult mac n cheese" entree was incredible. It was so creamy, cheesy, flavorful, and had a nice subtle crunch from the little breadcrumbs. I would 100% get it again and highly recommend it as an entree or at least as a side. Our service was good, the place was nice and clean, and everyone else in my group also enjoyed their food. read more

Came here to meet up with friends and once I heard they had burnt ends I knew what I was getting. Came as an appetizer over BBQ chips. A little different than other burnt ends I've had. Other than cutting off the ends of the brisket to get the crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. These were cut into chunks and probably cooked a little bit longer so you had burnt end cubes. Tasty but I've had better. Nice selection of menu items and drinks. Service was good and location in downtown. Glen Ellyn is good. read more

We went during the Christmas rush, and the poor server was trying her best to keep up! Everything was really festive... They definitely love their Christmas decor. As for the food, it's nothing to write home about. I got one of the salads, and I felt like it didn't have too much flavor. I think my husband liked his tater tots and beef sandwich though! read more

This place is a place I often forget about but when I do remember it I remember why I enjoy it. Great beer list. Solid BBQ. Had the brisket last night with coleslaw and bread/butter pickles and sweet potatoes fries. Very good. Service was excellent. Went on. Tuesday night for trivia and had fun. read more

We love this place. Being in downtown Glen Ellyn, food can be a bit pricey. My husband and I discovered a little hack. Get the NOBEL HOUSE PRIZE PLATTER and share it! Honestly, it'll feed a family of 4. I can confirm that it does because we had enough to bring home to our 2 teenagers and they were satisfied. It's 60 dollars, you get a half smoked chicken, smoked turkey (my only complaint was the turkey was a salt bomb, could have been an off night) pulled pork, burnt ends AND brisket! This includes 3 sides and 2 corn muffins. For a healthy sampling of ALL of their delicious meats on a massive platter... You can't beat this deal anywhere. This is the 2nd time we've been there and will probably make this joint as our "go to" for local BBQ. read more

We are STILL dreaming of the weekend brunch we had last month while visiting Glen Ellyn thanks to Nobel House. Service was amazing (my server really understood when I said to keep the unsweet tea coming- glass was never empty, and a fresh lemon each time!) Ordered a side of onion rings for the table, an excellent choice. I got the healthy option and didn't regret it for a second, even that was flavorful and delicious! Loved the music so much I wondered if I had made the playlist myself. Casual and lovely, great location. read more

The food was incredible! Service was great out waitress was so nice and on top of things. Great experience will definitely be going back!

Good burgers and service was pretty fast too. It was national burger day and this place was very accommodating on a busy eating out night for lots of burger lovers: read more

We had dinner here a few weeks ago - and it is definitely a place we will be back to. For starters - my husband got the Burnt Ends. I am not a burnt ends fan b/c I usually find them fatty. OMG - these were the best. It was like eating candy - they were so good. Huge portion - especially with the chips that come with it. We ended up bringing some of them home and they reheated just fine the next day. For entrees - we got the Black and Blue Burger and Blackened Shrimp Tacos. Both entrees were really good and the burger reheated very nicely the next day, but compared to the "candy" burnt ends - nothing can really compare! We will be back and look forward to it! read more

The residents in the apartments above the restaurant smoke lots of weed. The smell fills the dining room. Got a contact high sitting there. Food might have tasted better as a result, but would prefer not getting stoned. Lots of young families with little kids in there. They need to figure something out. read more

I had an amazing time here at Nobel House. The food was just super tasty and very comforting. The service was just very professional but still very friendly. The ambiance was just very chill and pleasant. 5 stars. read more

This place has Great food and cool atmosphere. Love the burnt ends. Never disappointed

The five stars is for their french toast. Holy moly that french toast was amazing. Do you know that after my husband and I shared a regular order of french toast, I ordered a kids portion at the end just because of how good it was. But everyone enjoyed their food when we went. Husband said the burger was very good and my wings were really tasty too. They have this deep Smokey taste to them which was great. Definitely will be returning, more than likely on the weekend because I think they only open at 4pm during the week. read more

Update 1/25. Sat in the dining area for the first time , received the same excellent service that I'm used to while sitting at the bar. Our server (Lisa?) was exceptional and very attentive. And much like my favorite bartender on top of our needs before we needed to ask. I'm glad it turned out to be the same level of service during the dinner hour as it is during off hours, I know this can be am issue for some places. The banter and back and forth isn't as plentiful, but it's not really why we're there so that's a non issue as she had many other customers to tend to. The food is always consistent and excellent. Thank you Nobel House! read more

Lisa was our server and she was absolutely wonderful -- everything during our visit was great thanks to her! She was attentive, kind, and made sure we had a really pleasant experience. During our time there, an unauthorized vendor came in with his child to sell light-up wand toys. I completely understand that vendors aren't allowed to sell items inside the restaurant. However, the way the manager/boss addressed the situation was disappointing. The tone used, especially toward the child, came across as very harsh and unnecessary. Lisa, on the other hand, handled the situation with kindness and professionalism. She spoke gently to the child and remained respectful throughout, even when told not to engage. She truly managed the moment with grace. We really appreciated Lisa and her service. She represents the kind of hospitality that keeps customers coming back. The situation itself could have been handled much better from a management standpoint, but Lisa did an excellent job. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place out and glad we did! We ordered nachos, which aren't pictured. They had pulled pork, cheese, jalapeños, baked beans, cabbage slaw, bbq sauce and sour cream. It was really good and the portion was fair. For our entrées, my husband went with the brisket sandwich with fries and I got the Cuban with a side of Mac n cheese. The brisket was really good. The sauce was not very good. The fries were hot and tasty. I liked my Cuban but didn't care for the mustard they use. The mac n cheese was just average and small. Overall, the prices are okay and the food was pretty good. Our server was really fast but there weren't many people in and we were surprised by that being it was Sunday afternoon. read more

Came here on a Friday night for dinner, the restaurant was packed. They do not take reservation so keep that in mind. We were able to get a table after a few minutes of waiting they also have a bar so you can order drinks for a longer wait. We ordered the wings with a variety of sauces the Alabama white sauce was my personal favorite. We also order a prime rib sandwich and Nashville hot chicken sandwich with onion rings. All the food was very good. The only item I would not recommend was the jalapeño mango margarita which is a go to drink of mine, theirs had really no jalapeño or mango flavor at all. Overall the service was okay. Cost of the meal plus tip including 3% credit card charge was around $100. read more

Enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. It was interesting to see families, including kids in the sport bar restaurant. The area is very safe and vibrant. The food was good and prices were reasonable. we ordered nachos and it was very loaded and tasty. The drink was also good. They have good choices for draft beers. One of our drink was too spicy for us so we asked and the waiter changed it. The staff were very nice and friendly. It was a little loud but not too loud so we liked it actually. read more

We had an excellent meal at Nobel House in Glen Ellyn! We both ordered the Cowboy Reuben and it was fantastic. They were very accommodating to my mom's gluten allergy, and made the sandwich on a gluten free bun. The Reuben was very unique, and if I didn't live in Milwaukee, I'd probably be eating it weekly if not more! The service was wonderful, the restaurant was clean and spacious, and it just had a great vibe. We will definitely be back when we are in town! read more

At happy hour recently we checked out this nice but expensive bar and grill. It was pretty nice except for the high prices and the lack of affordable vegetarian items. Nobel House has a couple locations with this one being in Glen Ellyn around where most stuff in town is going on. Gets busy but it's never been anything crazy. They have pretty expensive food but it feels more like a casual sports bar than anything fancy. First up were the drinks. It had some pretty good sounding ones except for prices. They have a limited happy hour and not that many things are on special. Getting a look at the menu we chose the cheapest stuff that sounded good. There was limited choices for sure. I had a Bourbon Mule. It's $10 for a typical copper mug, which was kind of a lot for not all that much but it was so good I sipped on in a long time. This is made with Old Forrester, and has ginger beer and lime like a typical version. It hit the spot in my opinion. She had some kind of wine. For the food I suggested getting the Brussels Sprouts appetizer. It's $5 for a few. These are roasted and tossed in balsamic glaze. Fairly good except there could have been more of course. They also have veggie burgers but veganness is questionable and they're also expensive so we passed on these. Good things to drink and eat. It's fine on an occasional visit but not a regular place with these kind of high prices. There's another location in Geneva so go there if you're out west or wherever. read more

Nobel House - Bourbon Mule And Brussels Sprouts - New American Near Me - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

This is a noisy sports bar with an emphasis on barbecue. We're vegetarian, and we were here because the place we'd intended to go was closed. Veg options are limited: there are no vegetarian appetizers (you can get the mushroom flatbread, hold the chicken) They had a burrata insalata special which sold out before we arrived; the online menu says they have a rice bowl which I must have missed; what we did see was a veggie burger and the mac and cheese. So we got one of each. Service was fine: we were seated quickly. We asked about our "free appetizer, limit $16" coupon since only one app n usider $16 (they'll take $16 off your bill); asked for broccoli in the mac and cheese; and asked for a revised receipt since the restaurant assumes you're paying by credit card and charges you 3% for that. Server stayed cool even though we were grumpy and I appreciate that. The veggie burger is house-made and comes with pepper jack, pico de gallo, and a zesty dipping sauce for your onion rings or fries; onion rings were good enough to finish but room temperature and overly salty. The mac and cheese was pretty good: the sauce had recognizable cheddar flavor and shaved parmesan; the added broccoli was a bit skimpy, but I was adding a side with no upcharge so I'm not complaining. Two entrees plus a soda: $52 with tip. In summary: food is fine, but vegetarians should go elsewhere unless you're with someone who insists on this place. read more

I've been here a couple of times now and never wrote a review! Let's fix that... This place has it going on- good food, service and atmosphere. They have a great array of cocktails and other drink options. Their bbq options are also great! Smoky, tender and good portion sizes! On my last visit I got their smoked poutine. There was so much meat on it, I could barely even finish a third of the dish! But it was a hearty indulgence for sure. The only thing I wasn't overly impressed with was their regular Mac and cheese. It was pretty lackluster for the price. But this is great meet up spot/date night location! read more

I usually like coming here but this one experience bothered me. We sat outside and I went inside to ask the server if I could grab a water while she was filling drinks at the bar to bring out, it was busy but nothing out of control. She wouldn't look at me and just laughed to her self and kept shaking her head like I asked her something completely crazy. I said I can bring it out, she still wouldn't look or respond just kept shaking her head to herself with a weird smirk. I continued to stand there and she huffed and finally grabbed a water that was filled already and handed it to me with a straight arm and head forward, still not looking at me. I said thank you...sorry, and she sharply said, it's fine! I walked away really confused. I waitressed for several years and would never treat a customer like that. It just kind of put me in a not great mood after that. read more

Great service, lots of good options on the menu - my favorite was the burnt ends appetizer. I live in Los Angeles and Nobel House was recommended by a Glenn Ellyn resident. I'm glad I listened to them! read more

I loooooove this place! Bob is the coolest bartender ever. Drinks are good but Ive never had their food lol

Disappointed this time. Brisket sandwich overly fatty, pulled pork sandwich was dry and the tots were crunchy even in the middle. The server was great. I will skip Nobel House in the future and go to Steamboat BBQ or The Patio for great food, more food at a lower price point. read more

Always a great time at Nobel. We sat at the bar and had great service as always. Been here a number of times and have had very good food and drinks. The Menu has nice options. We will be back again!!! read more

Brisket enchilada soup - delicious. Brisket was so tender with all the right seasonings. A dallop of sour cream would have made it even better. Dynamite shrimp - must try. Be ready for a kick....but then again im a wimp with spice. Burger of the day....Shroom burger was very good. Lobster roll - so disappointed. Very chewy and had quite a bit of shell on it. Not ok. read more

Great bbq spot in the burbs. Decided to try Nobel house in Glen Ellyn last Sunday night for dinner. No reservation required and not wait time which was great! We had they Noho House Prize Platter and Lobster roll to share. Didn't realize till now that the platter was missing sausage link. But anyways my top two on the platter were Ribs and brisket.The smoked ham and turkey were dry unfortunately. The platter is big and easily can feed 2-4 people. There is 2 bbq sauces that are with the platter one is a very loose vinegary tasting and the second one a thicker sauce and sweet. The lobster roll was good too, but without they sauce that accompanied it on the side it would be just okay. I loved the roasted Brussels sprouts side it full of flavor and caramelized sweetness. Definitely worth coming back again. read more

5 stars for great location, excellent service, value, mouth watering food, and awesome renditions of their menu. I had the pleasure of having lunch here and was please with every order we had. I had the jalapeño pork belly burger with a side of Brussels sprouts. That was packed with flavor and filling. The burger itself was a bit over cooked so next time, I will make sure to order the patties medium to medium rare. The Brussels sprouts were sweet and crispy on the outside. Smacked! The wings were perfectly cooked and juicy. But hands down the best order was the dessert-- campfire skillet-- chocolate chip cookie skillet topped with marshmallows and ice cream. Slam dunk!!! Will definitely be back to try out their bbq offerings next time. And definitely their bread pudding! You gots me, NoHo! read more

Great BBQ and sides. Brisket - outside bits are a bit dry, but put it in the sauce and it's perfect. The inside parts are so insanely juicy and flavorful. Sausage - it's a large sausage, more like a brat. It was savory, juicy, and tender. Perfect on it's own Tots - Tater Tots, crispy perfection with a fluffy inside and some sea salt to give it even more flavor and texture, you actually get quite a large amount of them Mac & Cheese - super legit mac and cheese, the sauce just made me close my eyes and savor the flavor and feeling on my tongue. I ended up using the random piece of toast to sop up the left over sauce Except for the ends of the brisket, I ended up not needing the sauce at all. One is thicker and a bit sweet, the other is thinner and a bit tart. I preferred the thicker one. Oh I also got a pile of pickles that were very cucumbery in taste. Staff was super friendly and made great recommendations. My friend also enjoyed his pulled pork and ribs with dry rub. read more

Another great spot for morning meals around Glen Ellyn. Enjoyed sitting outside. The workers were really nice and quick! They were hurrying to make sure everyone got seated fast. Eggs Benedict and waffles tasted really good. Coffee was nice too, which isn't usual for breakfast places. The outdoor seating area is also pleasant. I suggest checking it out! read more

I hate to say it but I think I'n done with Nobel House. To be fair the waiter warned me about the cilantro in the Cubano sandwich and I ignored her. Wrong move. It was one of the worst sandwiches I've had in recent memory. I should have known better. I've been miffed that some time ago they significantly reduced the size of their brisket sandwich, which is disappointing. However, the brisket was not only a small offering but was somewhat without taste and a little dry. Not worth the price. Finally, while not their fault, this seems to be the place where GE residents bring their kids to eat. That's fine, but not what my wife and I are looking for. I think the sound proofing isn't that great so it amplifies the children's voices. Disappointing. read more
