    Best Buffalo Wings
    Jason P.

    Made my night! Much more than a dive bar. I've driven past the Road House over the past year and always thought it was a dump, but never went inside. Aesthetically it is a bit of a dump, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good bar. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and invited even though I was on my own. The bartender Amanda is much more than a bartender... She has an infectiously awesome personality that makes you feel she is sitting next to you joining you and helping you to have a good time. This is the first time in my life I've sat at a bar and the bartender shook my hand and asked my name. That alone made me want to stay and have fun. Amanda recommended the hot buffalo wings as the best food and I was highly impressed. Honestly some of the best wings I've had.... Very good. It is small inside, but has a large personality. The music was cranked up loud and people were dancing and singing along. There are a lot of regulars that go there, but they all started talking to me. If you don't care about it being an old and dark bar, this is a great place to have some fun and feel like you are at a bar where "Everyone knows your name"!!!!

    Friendly neighborhood bar where you can grab a quick bite and watch games all at reasonable prices. Though the menu isn't huge and the restaurant is a bit on the small size, they maximize their use of space with a reasonably large parking lot, good layout inside, and maximizing their wall space. The small size also makes it easy to interact with other patrons and the staff.

We got sliders, chicken tenders, and fries. They all were very filling and decent portion sizes. I'm not much of a drinker, so I was excited to see a nice n/a menu. I tried a peach Moscow Mule. They have some other fruity flavors as well. The service was very quick, and we were seated quickly despite it being busy. While it is loud and busy in there, it wasn't hard to hold a conversation. The location is also perfect for anyone taking the train. There is also plenty of street parking.

Establishment was clean. While it was very busy, even the noise level was at a normal volume (acoustics of the bar?). Server was Nicole, and she was attentive and cordial. The food was great! We decided to share a few apps: chicken tenders, fries, and bacon burger sliders. My friend got a non-alcoholic peach Moscow mule, and I had Slow Melt Pale Ale from Half Acre Brewing. My beer was awesome, and the chicken tenders were my fave out of the 3! However, they were all very good. Go check it out when you're in the Mt. Prospect area - great beer list and lots of menu options.

    I really liked the Whiskey Hill Brewery & Kitchen in Mount Prospect…read more They have a bunch of tables and a big bar you can sit at. They also have their own beer selection that they brew - I got to try some of them - pretty tasty! I enjoyed the Hush Money IPA- pretty good, not too heavy or bitter , a very easy drinking IPA. The other good one was their pilsner - Gotti Gold - very light beer that's refreshing. I also tried their double burger - it was good, the food is kind of pricey but it was tasty, and they do have some daily specials. Overall, I'd recommend a visit if you're in Mount Prospect and want to try a new bar/restaurant.

    The food was actually pretty good. HOWEVER.... There was a…read moredoor with a note marked not to use it (Because it was very cold and windy). After a waitress went in and out 2x each, we asked her not to use it - and she argued with us. In the mean time, my gf ordered a spicy margarita which was supposed to come with a Tajin rim. It came with salt instead. The bartender didn't want to re-make the drink, so he poured it in another glass, making it very salty. When he had to remake it, he still didn't put the Tajin rim on it. Lastly, the manager/owner walked in the door that staff isn't supposed to use. We asked him about it and he said 'yeah, they don't listen to me when I tell them not to use it' - well - you're setting the example there.

Established (as the wall told me) in 1936, I expected "Polish" to be in menu alone...and I was wrong. The gal behind the bar had an accent. Halfway through the Bears game, I started hearing folks concerning and cheering in Polish. I felt like I had slipped into a cool little club to which I would never have otherwise been invited. Loud (but not too loud) and boisterous. I read some other reviews talking about rude regulars: rubbish. Chicago is loud and direct. If you don't like that vibe, the shoulders in this city may just be a little too broad for you. The pierogi and the pyzy were great, both served with sour cream. The beers, while not draft, had a wide, Euro-leaning selection but still respected some local favorites (Old Style). Good food. Good folks. Confusingly brilliant ambiance. You're missing out if you skip The Log Cabin.
