First time visiting last night to have their Friday night fish fry and we're not disappointed!…read more The place as hopping busy so there was alittle wait, but a spot opened at the bar and we grabbed it. My husband and I both had the ayce combo and added a cup of clam chowder soup. DELICIOUS! Serving size is large, and we're happily stuffed without additional servings. Definitely a no frills kind of place...kinda makes you feel like you're on a vacation! ALL the servers, bartenders and the host were super friendly and hard working, even when they were packed and pressured. Forgot to mention we drove 1 hour to get there, and an hour home in the pouring rain, but it was worth it. Loved Cullom Knoll, we will be back!

First timers on Sunday at the Round Lake location! We were really excited to try this place because…read morethe food looks phenomenal, the reviews are great, and it was in a perfect location. It's a corner store and it was so cool because it was an old bank and they even had the vault door and door open for the safe and you can look inside. We walked in and it was extremely thick and smoky in there so the first comment I made was that they def need a different ventilation system. There was only a few workers and they were working their tail off. Couple in the back (which is behind cashier and small and you can see all the fresh food being made so that's nice) and one cashier who was also running the to go orders and ice cream side. We had to wait a little because he was hustling but we didn't mind. There was an order kiosk that we walked past and didn't even notice but I watched everyone else do the same the whole time we were there. The cashier from the second we walked in until we left never had his smile leave his face and he was offering to clear dishes and check on people the whole time while still working cash register, ice cream, and to go orders. Great customer service and very clean inside. But the layout is so small and crammed. After we ordered they had a line out the door and a LOT of to go orders in and out. They could use a larger location and more employees if that's how popular they are! My bf and I just got basic cheeseburgers and my daughter got a chicken Cesar salad and we shared a snickers milkshake. The burgers were huge and we had 2 big orders of homemade fries that were delicious. We weren't impressed by the burgers unfortunately. The quality of burgers for me was not something I would really eat. I am picky on ground beef and burgers and it was closer to a fast food burger than a good bar or restaurant burger. Everyone's around us looked so good and even though we got basic burgers they still looked good but the flavor & quality really really lacked. It wasn't a char grilled burger and it didn't have that juicy ground beef flavor. It didn't even have salt and pepper let alone any seasoning on it. If we're being technical I hate shredded lettuce and it tasted cheap and the pickles were different than normal. The shake tasted like an old fashioned malty chocolate shake to me but my daughter and bf said they could taste the snickers. It was expensive for a small shake. Cesar salad was as good as it could be for a Cesar salad. The chicken quality was good and not cheap. I think I spent $60 or so with tip. Overall it was edible and expensive but not worth going back for us personally.

Dive bar vibes and a solid menu, what's not to like?…read more On a recommendation, we came in strictly for the wings. Of course we accompanied them with some beers and fries! The fries, however, were the only saving grace... the beers (draft) were cool (NOT cold) and the wings were nothing special and WAY over-sauced. They were SWIMMING in the buffalo sauce. The dry-rub ones were okay but, now that I think of it, I actually think it was more so that they were not sauced than the rub (which I'm not certain they remembered to include...). The patronage seems to be a steady stream of regulars, which is cool, but I suspect that is what's keeping this place afloat. But hey, our bartender was nice! The place itself, while divey, is pretty big, with lots of booths, a few pool tables, darts, etc. They have a lot to offer they just have to make some adjustments to their food provisions. I'll be looking for alternatives before making a return visit in the future.

When I think of Franks For The Memories, I think of some of the best wings I've ever had. This was…read morethe first place where I truly experienced top tier wings, and funny enough, it all started with one random wing back in high school. I remember being at lunch one day when I ran into one of my friend's sisters and some of her friends. They had wings, and since the last time I checked our school definitely didn't sell wings, I jokingly asked what they were eating. They told me where they were from and let me try one. After I finished that wing, I immediately wanted another. I couldn't just ask for one, so instead I basically interrogated them. What's the name of the place? Where is it? How far away? To my surprise, Franks was only about 10 minutes away. The funny part is I didn't actually get to truly experience Franks until after high school. I had been a fan of wings for years, but I didn't really know what a great wing was yet. Looking back, I didn't realize how lucky I was that Franks was one of my first introductions to genuinely great wings. Fast forward about 15 years and I'm still eating them. I usually get Franks every two or three months, and recently I realized it had been a while. My order almost never changes. Two pounds of mild and two pounds of medium. I always order them to go, and even after the ride home, they still taste fresh and juicy. I usually start with the medium, and that first bite always reminds me why I keep coming back. You bite into tender, juicy meat followed by that crisp exterior and Buffalo sauce. Everything complements each other perfectly. You have tender chicken, crunch on the outside and sauce covering the entire wing. These aren't wings where you get one great bite followed by a section with barely any sauce. They are saucy, and I mean saucy. The medium sauce is probably my favorite. It has that peppery Buffalo flavor with a noticeable acidic tang and enough heat to make itself known. The acidity gives it a sharp Buffalo bite while the pepper and heat follow right behind it. Mix that with the juicy chicken and crispy exterior and it's a beautiful combination. Then you have the mild. The mild has a similar flavor, but the buttery taste comes through more. It's smoother and richer without losing what makes the sauce good. Sometimes the mild and medium sauces mix together, and those might be some of the best bites. You get the buttery richness from the mild mixed with the peppery, acidic kick and heat from the medium. It just works. That's what I love about these wings. They look simple. You might look at them and think you know exactly what you're about to get. Then you bite into one and realize there is nothing simple about the flavor. When I eat these wings, I'm genuinely at peace. I'll go out with cousins or friends, talk, joke around and enjoy the food together. With Franks, it doesn't matter. Eating these wings is an experience on its own. Once I start, I'm in my own little world enjoying every bite. The only bad part is knowing eventually I'm going to run out. I always make sure I have some left for the next day. If something tastes this good, why experience it only once when I can wake up knowing I still have Franks waiting for me? What might impress me most is the consistency. I've been eating these wings for around 15 years, and whether I think back five years, 10 years or 15 years, I know what I'm getting when I order Franks. I honestly can't remember a time when I finished their wings and walked away disappointed. After all these years, they still stand tall. They're juicy, tender, crispy, loaded with sauce and packed with flavor. The medium brings that peppery heat and acidic tang, while the mild brings that buttery richness. Are they the best wings I've ever had? They might be. These wings don't kid around.
