    Fried Chicken and fries
    Mel W.

    Delicious small little pub. The food was fresh and so good. The fried chicken was a fresh piece of chicken fried to perfection with a delicious chipotle Mayo and pickled onions. The burger was cooked just right and the cheese curds were delicious. It is very small inside, but cozy. They had some good drinks too.

    For being in the middle of nowhere, this place is surprisingly good; no jokes here. Prior to walking in and by the views around us, we thought we were going to have microwave fish sticks and stale bread. When we walked it, it was very nice, World Cup was on, and we had ourselves some super fresh and tasty chips and salsa. I ordered a salad and it was smothered with grilled bbq chicken. I'm not saying anything about the bbq, but that salad was massive and top notch. I'll have to say this is probably the best bar/gastropub in at least 5-10 miles. If you're ever stuck out there, then do yourselves a favor and eat there.

    Had to drive to Peoria for work and my guy tagged along. On drive back home we were hungry and decided to check reviews for a bite. This place had great reviews so we stopped. There really wasn't much to choose from to be honest. Definitely a local hang out spot. It's got some character, warm vibe and cozy - not your typical dive. Our waitress was really friendly. If you're a beer fanatic, they have a pretty great selection of IPA's, drafts, bottles. I'm not a big beer drinker, but ordered the Elysian Space Dust IPA - the name really called out to me and it was good!! Beer buzz! Some crafty cocktails and large wine selection too. Happy hour Tue-Fri 3-6pm. They even serve breakfast, how bout that? Menu is above average pub food. House specials like french onion soup, bluegill, sirloin steak, tuna, wings, wraps, crab cakes, fish tacos, brisket, fried chicken, salads, sandwiches, burgers. Had to try the fried avocado app. Meh. Small avocado pieces, batter was over salty. Overrated. Our server said it was great. I'd pass on this. Really wanted the Bistro truffle burger..doesn't that sound delicious? I thought so too. Black truffle, fresh ground angus short rib and chuck. Our waitress said they make it in house. So when I ordered it, she came back and said they were out and no longer serving it and they needed to update the menu. Huh? but you just said....? Wait...whaat? No truffle burger for me! I was bummed and went with the Remington burger. Cheddar and fried onion ring with their 'secret sauce'. Asked for it on the side and it was all over my burger. Had a hot kick too. It overpowered the whole damn burger. Burger itself was average. We shared Hardwood smoked wings tossed in garlic parmesan & carolina sauce. They were decent. Couldn't really detect 'smokiness'. Carolina sauce has a kick for those of you who can't handle heat...made me glisten a little too. They should state heat levels on their sauces. He had the Smokey beer brisket sandwich, sliced brisket with slaw. Not super tender and somewhat dry. With minimal choices in surrounding areas, this place isn't bad. Our server was nice, but getting our check and waiting for her to return took at least 25 min. Wasn't packed, but started to get LOUD. Lots of great reviews here, wonder if they're written by locals. OK eats and not a bad place to try if your in the area, or just want to guzzle down some beer and cocktails.

    I was here for a few hours and all I managed to take was this.

    If you're at all close by and need either a beer or food, you go here. In Malta, options are few. Sure, you can go to Dekalb or Sycamore down the road and grab whatever chain you'd like. But, this is a gem. The term gastropub has a negative connotation for me. I picture trendy, overpriced, and douchy bars. Remington's is the opposite in terms of atmosphere. Small town, low key, but clean. The service is casual and the place has maybe a dozen tables plus bar. The food is great. The smoked wings are unreal. I got mine with a dry rub and a couple sauces on the side. The beer list will satisfy anyone looking for a craft beer out here. Honestly, I drink a ton of craft beer and this place has an insane list. Beers like PseudoSue, 1Z Enuff, and more highlight the list. In summary: great food, not trendy, low key, good beer, go here.

    See all

    The wings are great! The Rachel's Butt Rub is amazing. There's a sugar and spice element that makes them warm up really well as leftovers!

    Chilaquiles Berry Basil Bliss…read more This place is cool inside and has outdoor seating which would be nice for a warm day. The service was friendly and the drink was very good. The food was pretty good but not amazing. $45 all in may be a bit pricey.

    We wanted to like this place - but disorganization and average food let us down. We saw online…read morethey were offering Lisle Restaurant week so we thought a perfect time to try a new place. We made a reservation, too. Kindred is a unique place in that it's in a strip mall and you enter part of the mall to get to the front entrance of Kindred. We walked in and there was nobody at the front desk but a sign that said Seat Yourself. We walk into the bar (b/c that was all we saw) and the bartender gives us the option of a table in the corner or a table right next to the bathroom. We noticed tables right by the window that were open, but those apparently weren't available. We took the corner. We sat and a waitress brought us menus. I asked about the Restaurant Week. She said she knew it was going on, but didn't know what the options were. She was very nice about it, but I had to prod her to find a menu for it. She came back a few minutes later for our drink order and I asked again for the Restaurant Week menu and she again alluded to not knowing what it was. I dropped it but if your restaurant is offering it - your staff should know what is on it and should promote it. Drinks...I ordered a martini - my husband said "diet coke or coke zero." She said - we don't have that. He then said "diet pepsi". She said - they have RC Cola Zero. My husband and I look at each other and we're like "ugh.". Only having RC as your pop of choice is an indicator to us of cheapness/not great food. Skip ahead - another couple comes into the bar at that point and the bartender offers the couple the table by the bathroom. The couple pointed to the tables by the window and I think the bartender said they were reserved. The couple said they had a reservation tonight. I couldn't catch the rest, but they ending up sitting at the table by the restroom. Very confusing. Then - it all made sense - a family of 5 came into the bar...(b/c still no person at the front desk and the seat yourself sign) - said they had a reservation and all of a sudden, someone appears and seats them in a completely different room. Apparently - there is a dining room that we all should have been sitting in. But - having no person at the front desk, a sign that says seat yourself, having an entrance in a strip mall side, and the bartender not explaining anything - was a problem. Skip ahead. Food - we got fried pickles (which were extremely salty) , STK Wrap (just okay), and Garlic Chicken bowl (little garlic). Nothing outstanding and nothing that would warrant us coming back.

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here last night after making reservations on OpenTable. We…read morewere warmly greeted by the host who acknowledged our event and seated us in the back overlooking the brew room, very nice. It was my first visit to your restaurant though my wife has been here before with friends. Chad was our server. He pleasantly explained the drink and dining menus and took good care of us all evening. My bride had her favorite drink, The French Martini, and you guys nailed it for her! I was very happy with the 2025 Pils. Dinner was amazing, Skirt steak for her, brisket for me with Yukon potatoes following salads for both of us. The quality and taste of the food was great and makes us want to come back and sample other dishes. We received great service and a nice complimentary glass of champagne (with Ho-Ho's) to finish our celebration. At the end of the evening we received a big surprise when Chad came over with news that we had no bill to pay as my wife's daughter and her husband had secretly called to pay the tab! So thoughtful of them to treat us and to top off a memorable meal and milestone in our lives.

    Went to Hardware in North Aurora and came away with mixed feelings…read more The good: ambiance is great and the drinks were on point. Had the Marilyn saison and a solid dark beer. Bar program is strong. The short rib pot pie was a straight up winner. Rich, comforting, and not trying to be anything other than good food done right. The bone marrow lost me. Cooked well, but buried under too many microgreens and then oddly topped with tortilla chip strips. No smokiness either. It felt more confused than cohesive. Where it really started to miss was the overall approach. A lot of "the chef intends this..." type explanations. It ends up feeling like the food insists upon itself instead of just letting you enjoy it. That's the bigger issue. This place exists in a space where I don't think most people want to meet it. Not casual enough to relax, not refined enough to justify the performance. Bottom line: good drinks, great pot pie, but the experience tries a little too hard.
