A strip mall Gem nothing fancy just plain good food and service I came in for the Pork Tenderloin it didn't disappoint at all.... the rest of the food was Top Notch our server was amazing she was covering it all and gave us friendly service without waiting at all.

When I walked in here, I was pleasantly surprised at how bright and nice it was. I guess I was expecting a dark and dingy dive bar. The wait staff here was welcoming and friendly. There was plenty of room for our group of 8 people. For pub food, the food was pretty good. I really liked the Poor Boy "Italian beef" quesadilla. The giardiniera gave it a really good kick. The Poor Boy pizza was also good. Great place to hangout after a round of laser tag next door at Massacre Haunted House. It was convenient to just walked right over. Prices: Large Anti-Hero mug $8.25 Poor Boy quesadilla $10 Poor Boy pizza $14 ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .

This is how the regulars get down at Poor Boy's! Das boot!!!

Remember that show "Cheers"? Now think of the theme song. What's that line? Ah yes... "...where everybody knows your name..." Oh yeah, everybody here knows each others names. Seriously, A LOT of regulars at this bar. It's good to see that a business has such good customer retention. What's even better is that a non-regular like me gets the same great service as the guys that are there ALL THE TIME. In addition to great service, they have great burgers. Nothing goes better with a few 25oz mugs of beer than a big greasy cheeseburger with fries. Well, now that I think of it, I did have quite a few of those frosty 25oz mugs of beer because they were super cheap. So, maybe the combination of hunger and mass amounts of beer may affected my perception of the actual deliciousness of said burger. Anyway, I'm A-Ok with Poor Boy's. It's a regular bar, maybe leaning towards a dive bar, with a few plasmas for viewing some television networks of the sports kind, and FREE popcorn. Yep, freshly popped popcorn from their popcorn machine compliments of the house. The regulars seemed pretty friendly, and the staff was super friendly. Great service and cheap drinks will always win me over. If you find yourself out in the sticks and near Poor Boy's, stop by, get drunk, and eat a burger. It's good if you're nearby, but it's not worth making the trek from anything further than 15min away. Holla!!!™

The wait staff service was outstanding and Adam, the bartender was excellent. Appeitzers were delicious - spinach artichoke dip and meatballs with marinara. We provided our guests with the choice of Fish&Chips, Grilled Chicken Sandwich or the Wienerschnitzel...kids were given a Chicken Tender Meal. Everyone truly enjoyed their meals. I appreciated they allowed a special meal for the MOB who is a vegetarian. The sugar donuts at the end of the meal were a hit! :) Alyssa, the party coordinator for the venue was super accomodating and super easy to work with. It does take a few days for response time - BUT, I always got a response. And she was always willing to give us everything we asked for! The venue even let us in earlier than requested to set up our decor. We would definitely recommend this venue for a bridal/baby shower or birthday party - any special event that is smaller in numbers. The venue has been advertising a new addition to the space next to building but it seems the construction has haulted. It is a shame because it is a bit of an eyesore - BUT, if they complete this addition, it will be beautiful. Hope they are able to complete it. The Gray's Mills has history with it's town so I hope locals will continue to support it. When we come back to visit our son and my new daughter-in-law, we will definitely be back for a visit - especially if the weather is nice!! They have a great outdoor patio along the Fox River just outside the restaurant on the bottom floor. Thank you Gray's Mill Estate!!

The performers - Bert's Revenge - were excellent, as always, providing the perfect vibe to the evening! It really means a lot seeing the co-owner, Mike Baum and his wife, Jan, there mingling with their customers. They put their heart into this establishment and it shows! Overall, it was a great value and I highly recommend this venue to all!

It's honestly impressive to provide service this bad in a bar that was practically empty…read more When we walked in, there were maybe two people sitting at the bar and another couple playing the gambling machines. We seated ourselves and even let the bartender know we were there, then waited about 10 minutes before anyone bothered to come over. We ordered two beers and two pizzas. We had enough time to finish both beers while watching our waitress and the bartender stand around talking at the bar. The bartender even had time to drink a White Claw, but apparently nobody had time to make sure our food was coming. Eventually, our waitress told us the pizzas were done but "weren't crispy enough," so they were put back in the oven. After already waiting so long, that excuse was hard to believe. Another 15 minutes passed with no pizzas, no updates, and no apology. We finally paid for our beers and left hungry. The most shocking part is that there are very few places like this on Aurora's west side. You would think a neighborhood bar with so little competition would value every customer who walks through the door. Instead, we were treated like an inconvenience. If this is how they handle a nearly empty bar, I'd hate to see what happens when they're actually busy. Save yourself the frustration and spend your money somewhere that acts like it wants customers.
