    Brisket sandwich
    Shannon M.

    We could smell this place as we were walking by and knew we wanted to stop for lunch! It's a casual spot, mostly a sports bar, but with a sizeable menu. Most tables are high tops but there are some regular ones if like me you can't perch up high. My friend had the brisket sandwich and I had the pastrami sandwich, and we both enjoyed. Hers was a bit sloppy; mine was just super filling! Not a bad problem to have. The wait staff was very nice. Would come back!

    Whiskey And Soft Pretzel Sticks
    Steve A.

    Got to eat in another place in Elburn. It's not that much of a menu. Schmidt's is a pretty happening place. Looks like it's a sports bar that happens to have a little food. The beer and liquor is the best thing but if you're hungry enough you can get some barbecue or some grilled stuff. Another attraction is all the games. It has lots to play including slots. Those not wanting to play games can watch games on the many TVs. As for the booze it has lots. It's about $7 for whiskey. Food isn't as impressive. Lots of barbecue and it smelled overly smoked. Few vegetarian choices. Got some of the Soft Pretzel Sticks. It's about $10 which is kind of a lot for these. Basic looking pretzels that were probably frozen. They were good, just overpriced to be honest. For sure it's one of the happening places in town as it's always crowded. It's better to come drink than to come eat. This is one of the few places in town open all week that you can go to almost whenever.

    The wings are insane - would say they are the best in Elgin. Crispy, huge, saucy - exactly done right

    Grabbed drinks here with a couple friends while roaming around Geneva. Overall, this place is…read morejust... fine. What I liked about it was the games they have on hand to keep you entertained: NES Classic (Duck Hunt!) and darts were enjoyed throughly by us! The downside: the bartender, during our visit, was less than pleasant. And I couldn't figure out what his deal was because I went to the bar once and ordered two rounds: one (beers) for us and a second (shots?) for a friend and her friends at the end of the bar - a serendipitous meeting then and there! His mentality was one of treating me as if I'd never been to a bar before and "testing" me on my beverage orders. It was quite odd. Nonetheless, we had a good time but will probably hesitate on a return visit.

    Bad Alice absolutely lives up to the hype. The vibe is the perfect mix of cool, cozy, and a little…read moremischievous in the best way. But what really makes this place shine are the bartenders -- Mariah and Robbie. Mariah is an absolute gem: warm, welcoming, and somehow always remembers exactly what you like. She's quick, creative, and makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Robbie is just as fantastic -- funny, attentive, and clearly knows his craft. His cocktails are spot-on every time, and he brings an energy that makes the whole bar feel alive. Between the great drinks, great atmosphere, and two of the best bartenders around, Bad Alice is the kind of place you walk into for one drink and end up staying for three. Can't recommend it enough!
