Only grabbed food and one of my buddies had a couple drinks. Waitress we had was very good and attentive, not that it was crazy busy to begin with. Maybe about 3-4 tables and a handful of people at the bar. I ended up getting the daily special, double smash burger with fries. Burger was decent, fries were better than expected. Then the bill came. One of the things I can't stand is when these restaurants have these extra "fees". Granted only 3% but the principle behind it makes me not want to go back. They could have easily charged me $11.95 for the special instead of the $9.95 and I would be here with a 5 star review. Unfortunately they want to charge less, and then when the bill comes tack on the percentage fee. Again, it was only $.30 for this visit as we all split the bills up, and not worth bringing a manager over. However, these little hidden fees could be completely avoided and would leave a better experience if you'd just charged more upfront. They could have made an additional $1.70+ off the meal along with a raving review. There's been other local spots between Grayslake and Libertyville that I've stopped going to for all these extra charges. Hopefully the small businesses that I want to support learn that simple method sooner than later.

The bartender." Falon." Was super friendly and just a genuinely nice person. What's lacking in this location is beer on tap. they only serve bottles. They do claim to sell pizza as they're only food item but they were out the night that I was there. I will be back and hopefully can upgrade my review as I really need a local place and this would be perfect.

We have tried it twice, the last time was about a year ago and don't recall what we ate so it must have been okay (if we had loved it we'd have gone back again, and if we had not liked it, we would have rememebered that too) so that fact that we would go again says a lot. I like staying local so we will try it again. We might be a bit too sober for the evening crowd so maybe we will stop in for lunch. I will say that the people in the outdoor area seem to be having the time of their lives. Give it a try!

I've actually been coming here for a while. I was first introduced to the Mundelein location years ago, so when I started working in the area, I figured, why not give the Grayslake location a try too? It ended up being a great decision. I went with the buffalo wings, all flats. One thing I really appreciate is that they'll actually accommodate all flats or all drums, which surprisingly isn't as common as it should be. The wings are meaty, juicy, and cooked with a nice crisp that holds up even after being coated in sauce. The buffalo has that classic buttery flavor with just enough kick to keep each bite interesting without overpowering the wing itself. They're not trying to reinvent buffalo wings. They're just executing them really well. The biggest compliment I can give them is the consistency. Every visit tastes like the last. The recipe doesn't change because it doesn't need to. When you find something that works, you stick with it, and Emil's has. This place also always seems to be packed, and after coming here multiple times, I completely understand why. Even when I don't order the wings, everything else I've had has been just as impressive. It's the kind of place where you can confidently try something different and know you're going to leave happy. One thing that makes Emil's even more interesting is that there are two locations. I've been to both Emil's Tavern on Center and Emil's Sports Bar & Pizzeria. The menus are very similar, but the wings definitely aren't. I actually asked about it once, and they confirmed they use different recipes. Wing Rating: 8.55/10 So now I'm curious. What's the verdict? And while we're at it... flats or drums?

There was music playing which made it easier to relax in a strange place. First Time there. Our beer had ice in it so it definitely was cold- that was a first I've seen that! I ordered the brisket sandwich, my wife ordered the pulled pork, mac & cheese, my coworker friend ordered the chicken sandwich, and his wife ordered the Reuben sandwich, which all of this was done well served with presentation and was enjoyed by all at the table! My friend spoke highly of the place, although other people have not on Yelp, but I would have to say this is one of the better experiences I've had in this area of restaurants in a long time!
