    The Tables
    J P P.

    Rudy's is actually nothing more than a triple BBB, better known as a "Bad Basement Bar". The configuration of the actual oak bar itself is unique and probably doesn't get enough credit being overshadowed by Diamond pool tables, knotty pine paneling from floor to ceiling and double DD bartenders. The only thing missing from someones "Wet Dream" of a Man Cave is a trophy sized Black Bear on display and vintage taxidermy Muskies on the wall. Other than that, the exterior is a series of combined structures that resemble barns, sheds and garages that form a multiplex of shit hole buildings that just might scare you away forever. My Take: If your a pool enthusiast, none of this shit matters at all!

    It's okay for pool. A little dingy generally. Our bartender Lisa was way awesome and friendly, made us feel at home.

    Been there multiple times. Kind of a hole in the wall but staff is nice, free pool on Sundays and drinks are cheap.

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!

We have always had great experiences at the Westmont location and were thrilled to find out they are the same owners! Went here with another couple for a casual Sunday lunch. Each dish was outstanding! Burgers were juicy and large. Tuscan Chicken sandwich was delicious. The Porboy sandwich was great and the Brussel Sprouts and chicken Salad excellent! Add in the great service of Reese and it was all perfect. We will be back and will recommend to our friends!

A happy hour always helps. The food can get pricy but there's a few things at okay prices. Coming here was actually kind of hard because of where it actually is. It's kind of hidden from the main road. There's only one way to get in here and you have to make the correct turns. Has a bar with a good amount of seats at it. Rest of the inside has plenty of tables. It's $7 for cocktail specials at happy hour. The best one of these we got was the Caramel Harvest Spritz. Has a sweetness to it. This is made with apple cider, soda, and Wheatley vodka. It's $14 for the B.Y.O.B. Burger. We added $1 more to get the veggie patty. Looks a lot like a typical burger. These come with a side such as fries. Have to say it turned out pretty good actually. It's closed Mondays. There's another location in Westmont.

Inside, the building is very beautiful but very similar to all the other Coopers Hawk location. For lunch, we had the Tuna Sashimi, and I got the Trio Medallions which came with Mashed Potatoes and I got Bettys Potatoes instead of Asparagus. My meal was very delicious. Our server was amazing. She was friendly and attentive. She was amazing! The only slight negative during this visit was the wait. We showed up at 12 and there didn't seem to be anyone in the restaurant besides me and like 3 other people (maybe I was wrong), but it took a long time for my food to arrive... over an hour. If it was busy or maybe they were... but 1.5+ hours was a little long. I wish I could only dock 1/2 a star though because the service and food was amazing and I would be back for those two alone. Overall, I would be back in the future.

Our server, Umberto, was attentive and pleasant and took good care of us; he was the best part of our evening. However, this is the first and last time I'll ever eat at Entourage. They promise "a dining experience" on their website, but I could get the same experience at your average Chili's or TGIFriday's without the pretense. Why do I say that? It's the noise...oh, the noise. There were a few tables with large parties, so it was pretty loud. Even leaning in closely, it was hard for my friend and me to hear each other talk. And the screaming kids were something else, emitting ear-piercing screams that get your attention, for all the wrong reasons. I didn't see any staff ask the large parties to keep it down or ask the parents to manage their children, which I guess I can understand. Large parties = more revenue than a two-top. But we did not - could not - linger after we ate our meals, or order coffee, dessert, and/or an after-dinner drink, because it was just too loud in there.

    Craft beer, tasty bites and Bill Murray on the BIG screen in the middle of a brewery…read more.. In the immortal words of Liz Lemon, "I want to go to there." So I did. Because I'm a big girl and I can do these kinds of things if I so choose. Plus, I was meeting an old friend up here, for the monthly Brew & View series showing Wes Anderson's 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.' Let the record show that I was early and my friend was late. It's important that you know that because he's a manager at a job I used to work at, and I'd actually gotten suspended from that job for a single day for being late all the time. It's also important to note that the day I was suspended from working was, serendipitously, Bill Murray's 61st birthday. I know it was meant to teach me a lesson, but it really just gave me a chance to go out and par-tay. When I returned from my suspension, my manager friend (not the one who suspended me) jokingly asked if I'd learned my lesson. Ha! Me? Learn a lesson? Pffft. Not on my watch. So anyway, he suggested we give the monthly (sometimes twice a month) event a shot since it had been a while since we'd seen each other and because beer and Bill Murray, duh. So I get there early because I wanted to snag a decent seat in the movie room, which has not only the very large screen (about a quarter of the size of a regular movie theater screen), a stage, a full bar, a few banquette booths facing the screen, rows of high-boys and a second level where you can watch from above if you really want to be a jerk to your server. I was surprised it wasn't more packed, since the movie showing is free, though you can happily spend your dough on some of Two Brothers' hand-crafted brews and delicioso food from the Chefs here. I think that because it wasn't busy that my friend and we made it a little awkward with our talking and laughing and such, but I think that it's intended to be a more casual showing where you can whisper amongst friends and quote lines and such. The only neg on that is the kitchen is sooo far from where the movie room is, that it's near impossible for your food to stay hot after the trek to the further ends of the building. I ordered a Bare Tree to drink and about a zillion menu items including the grilled octopus, mussels, vegan tacos, and a side of my favorite fries. It was a little difficult to eat in the dark of the cinema, but I managed. Also lost my spoon in the bowl of mussels and broth, but whatever. My friend fished it out and all was good. Our server was really great. I felt for him running around in the dark, taking beer and food orders, and getting ignored by customers who were too busy watching the flick to reply when he inquired about them perhaps wanting another beer. That dude had patience and I hope people tipped him well. You can follow their movie schedules through the Two Brothers Roundhouse Facebook page. They usually pick some pretty awesome flicks... lots of great stuff with Bill Murray, Rick Moranis, Jeff Goldblum, Jeff Bridges, and more. I believe the next showing is March 13th with Pulp Fiction and I'm pretty sure there's a mini Lebowski Fest in the works as well. See you there!
