Checked out this countryish Yorkville bar and grill. It has surprisingly great drinks and food, and…read morenot just greasy junk. Roadhouse 47 has plenty of that, as well. Good if bringing people with varying food preferences. The prices are okay on most things. Big area around the bar, with plenty of seating inside. It's pretty clean, and not scuzzy like a country bar typically would be like. The menu has lots of meats, but that's not everything thankfully. Has many things to drink. It's about $9 for a mule. There's a choice of whiskey. It's about $11 for appetizers. We got the Fried Cauliflower, which is probably the healthiest thing. Comes with a choice of chili sauce or ranch, so you can make it not as healthy. The burgers are popular with the make your own topping choices, and so is the macaroni and cheese topped with meaty proteins. Easy to find, because the name of street is in the name of the restaurant of course. It's got a happy hour. There's a few bucks off some cocktails, as well as a few appetizers so that's cool stuff.

The two baristas deanne (training) and Dina were so confused and not aware of the promotion until we pulled up the facebook post. They still honored it and gave amazing service!

Dina and Deanne were truly amazing!!! 5 stars only for those two girls!!

We were hoping to try the wings that we heard were so good however by that time the kitchen was closed. The bartenders were killin it behind the bar. We were well taken care of by the bartender at the far end with the long straight black hair. I wish I remembered her name but she was a gem :) One thing is that I did not feel like it was worth paying $15 to enter considering it's a pub in Aurora not a "nightclub".

It was my first visit on a chilly Thursday night, but clearly a lot of regular patrons in here. I was there for an after work social and the appetizers I tasted were all delicious. I loved that the chicken wings were plain for dipping and not heavily breaded. Exactly how I prefer mine. If you are a first timer, like I was, be cautious of the one way parking flow. I will be back after "Dry January!"

The staff has always been knowledgeable on cocktail and dining recommendations. When the weather is warm, they have large glass garage doors that open to give an open air/dining experience. In our six years plus of patronage I've only ordered their excellent Salmon. Today I broke with tradition and ordered the Lamb Lollipops topped with a rosemary demi-glacé served with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. My lovely bride had the Spartan Steak Marinated Kabobs, with red onions, peppers, Mediterranean rice and topped with feta cheese. Both were excellent! I'm hoping that it's not another six years before I sample something else from their extensive menu selection.

Perfect for my party of 35 friends. Kyle and Carlos did a great job taking care of all of us. We wanted for nothing.

Sal you have great employees and great place for a party or cheering on our local teams.

I mean the food was just okay - like the cake was more soufflé ish than cake and the cauliflower wings were partially undercooked and the buffalo sauce could be more. Thought when I went to pick up the food the ambiance seemed nice and fun so not sure if going in person we would eat other things would be nicer. But so far based on my experience - it's been pretty okay! Nothing wow!

Had okay time at this bar and pizza place in Yorkville with great drinks and okay food. It has some…read moregood things about it. Mike & Denise's is one of several restaurants the owners have around town it seems. For certain this location is the best known. The prices can be kind of high on some things, okay for others. A kind of haphazard setup once you get inside. It's got the entrance where you can choose two ways to go, whether it's eating inside or for pickup. The inside dining area is also kind of hard to get through. Has a patio. There's a good amount of seating. Most people seem to get beers. Pretty expected with these going great with pizzas. It's about $9 for one of their seasonal cocktails. We got a couple including the Lucky Charm. A classic. This is made with coconut, Malibu coconut rum, orange juice, and pineapple juice. It's about $12 to get a personal pizza with a few toppings of your choosing. We got the build your own option. A great option is giardiniera because it's like a few toppings in one to be honest. The pizza has a pretty crispy crust and is great for sharing. Crazy busy because it's one of the best known places in town to go. It's located on Veterans Parkway in the one plaza. They have half off pizzas on Tuesdays.

I'm back, more than a decade later, to update, and its great news!…read more5 stars, for sure. The pizza here is the best in town. The other food options they have are tasty as well (try the Philly quesadilla, seriously). LOTS of beer to choose from, and creative cocktails that match the season or holiday. My favorite thing about it though is the atmosphere - it's always a party, but family friendly. The owners are great, they hire lots of local students and support local sports and organizations, and when the Bears pulled off that win over the Packers in the wild card, they were out of town but bought a round for the whole bar! Highly recommend giving this place a try, for a family dinner, a quick drink, a work gathering, anything - and try their other businesses, too! (The Vault and Bristol Tap).

If you plan to eat here, it's ok, but I can't say anything is great. Yelp didn't have a ton of recent reviews so I looked at google and it seemed like the best reviewed items were the burgers and more specifically the mushroom n Swiss. So I tried it. And it was fine, just not a ton of flavor. The tots were probably the best thing I ate. The $5 Modelo drafts were a plus as well. As for the rest of the food I tried: the Saganaki was a little thin and runny, the guac didn't have a ton of flavor, the boneless wings were too thick, the traditional wings needed a little more flavor. Like I said, probably a great place to watch games and drink but I'd eat somewhere else.

It may seem like a local hangout with lots of drinks and basic food. Rowdy's is one of a few bars in this part of town. For sure it's nothing fancy of course. They're known for big ass burgers, and fries covered in stuff. Bar has a couple entrances, only one of which we were able to enter. It's got the rear one, which takes you through the gaming area before the main part. The front entrance was for some reason locked, even though the bar was open at that time. Anyway, they have about what's expected. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail, like with whiskey. Food is a pretty meaty thing with the burgers. They have shit tons of these. It's about $10 for their fries, which come loaded with toppings in baskets. We got a basket of the Sriracha Fries, which are topped with garlic Parmesan which we left off, along with hoisin sauce, jalapeños, onions, red pepper, and sriracha. Filling. These were enough to make a meal to be honest. Got to say it was better than expected. It's located on Bridge Street, amongst the older buildings around here. Those wanting meaty things can get burgers, while those not can get fries or whatever.

Of course it's not really an appetizer if someone has a whole bunch of these watching a game. There's also a meatless version for those looking for plant based hotness. A big place along with a chaotic feeling. It's got options if not wanting to stay. There's a separate entrance for takeout. Of course many come here to watch games. There's tons of TVs on the walls. Also beers. It's $9 for the Anchor Bar Lager. This comes in a big ass glass though. A lot of levels of spiciness for the wings allowing for all preferences. It's about $15 to get the Meatless Wings. Kind of small but there's a good amount. Then choose how hot to get these. Famous brand that has a few locations across the country. It's got plenty of extreme spiciness. They even have versions okay for vegetarians.
