They're known for their incredible burgers, but I love that they have a seasonal menu with great food and drink specials. There's always something new to try alongside the rotating craft beer selection. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. I recently stopped in for brunch after the Saturday Farmers Market, and it was excellent! It's the perfect way to start the weekend. The atmosphere is the best of both worlds--family-friendly while still being lively and energetic, especially if you're there to catch a game. They also have a beautiful private dining room that's perfect for hosting large parties, celebrations, showers, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, or other special occasions.

Would have loved to see happy hour or day time specials especially during the summer to bring in peeps. Very empty for Monday 2/3p during World Cup. Definitely has the potential to be a fun place. Food: Cheese Curds and spicy shrimp apps were tasty and great - 5/5. "Smashed" burger was not smashed at all lol no crispy edges and too thick for a smash burger. More like a normal double cheeseburger in my book. Added a Charred jalapeño - was awesome Onion bun also not the right vehicle for smash burger - top bun was burned and rock hard - so ate it open style with.knife and fork as a soft Potato Bun is what you ideally need for a smash burger. Really disappointing that the chef put out food with a burnt bun when the place is only 10% occupied. Burger was 4/5 but 2/5 as a "smashburger." spicy buffalo chicken wrap - 4/5 Grilled Chicken salad - 4/5 Mac and cheese -4/5 Fries were like the battered type and not crinkle or skinny. 4/5.

I could tell that people truly enjoyed. There's even a small dancing area up front. The food and drink are decent. The servers work hard when it's busy - yet manage to keep friendly. The only downside is that there is a section where you can't really see the stage (about 1/4 of the inside area).

Thought I might never leave! We cancelled our dinner plans to eat here instead. The smash burger was legit the best Smashy B. I've had in all of Illinois. Garlic aioli on the side brought a tear to my eye. Best part is that we met some tubular folks who struck up a great conversation and even shared their pizza with us so we could try it, too. "Birds of a feather flock together!" and all that, but when the foods good, the atmosphere is good, the vibes are good, and other people are there, having a good time? That's what brings a place from "good" to "great". We will be back soon!

From the time I walked in, I was greeted by the hostess, who was very nice and same with the bartender Cary. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and is a great date place! There is some great views of the water too and this would be a great place in the summertime! The wedge salad was very good with their homemade dressing and same with the short rib pasta which was more than ample for two people. They only serve gelato, but the salted caramel gelato was hands down the best I've ever had! Cary made a fantastic French martini too! What also impressed me was the locals that were very friendly and made the evening even more enjoyable. If you are in the area, I would definitely stop by and have a fantastic meal, cocktail gelato like I did. This restaurant definitely earned their five stars!
