We both ordered the 7 layer salad ( highly unusual ordering the same thing) on our first visit to Sheets Creek. Delicious. The Wait Staff were friendly and courteous, deserving of a Good tip. We had a big group, everyone was pleased and we'll be going back to try more options from their menu read more

Great spot to eat on the patio on the water. Weather kinda windy. Thought patio closed or we have gone out. Had us seat ourselves. Shoulda asked. Tables seemed close together. Not much privacy. Will definitely stop in when we are in the area if there's live music too. Weren't super hungry. Ordered the pretzel with jalepeno cheese. Pretzels perfectly done. Cheese had pleasant hint of jalepeno but I hate nacho cheese sauce so skipped the sauce. Hubby got the crispy chicken sandwich. He liked it. Was fine. Wouldn't crave it. Would order again. read more

Absolutely the most fun place to go!! great food, amazing waitresses, and waiters It never disappoints!! 5 stars for Callie & Riley!!! Can't wait to go back read more

We loved the food options and the location! Would love to go back and sit on their patio! Inside was quite cool and service was a bit slower than you would expect. read more

The scalloped potatoes were delicious!! Would go back just for them! French onion soup was just okay.

We have been visiting from out of state and could not have had a better experience. Great atmosphere. Super clean space. Beautiful view. Fantastic food. And the best service we have received anywhere. We feel like we are leaving friends behind. If we ever come back to this area, it will be a must to stop back by! read more

I went for lunch the second week of April for lunch! I had the hand breaded tenderloin and homemade chips. It was really good and the staff was great! Recently went there again for dinner. The chicken was ok, very small pieces, the cole slaw was homemade and delicious! I want to go back to try the catfish and onion straws, after 4 on Friday, Saturday nights. Beautiful building and the deck overlooking the water is beautiful! Very nice bar but since I don't drink anymore, I don't have an opinion on drinks. Stop in, it's a bit pricey, but isn't everything these days! read more

Can't say enough good about this place. The owner walks around and great everyone. They were packed but service and food was great! Prices are Reasonable with expansive menu. Would go every night. read more

We've been here multiple times and it's always good. Love the fish that they serve starting on Thursdays for the weekend. Can't get walleye many places and it's great! Wing flavors are all good, love the Korean BBQ. Tonight decided I wanted a single creek burger. Yum! Just hit the spot. There French fries are nice with the skin on. So many great options so far! read more

First, the place is beautiful! Located in a small residential area of Spring Bay, Illinois along the Illinois River. There is a small waiting area inside along with a gaming room. The bar is fashioned in a U shape in the main room (no draft beers here) and posters of old western clips line the walls. On a busy Saturday night, we waited about 10 minutes for a table. Our waitress came right away and took our orders. We ordered fried mushrooms as an appetizer (these are your normal frozen deep fried mushrooms). I ordered two piece fried chicken with augratin potatoes and corn fritters my only complaint was the corn fritters were very chewy and cooked in the same oil as onion rings perhaps. The chicken here is good, but would benefit from a salt brine. Potatoes were really good. My husband has the ribeye sandwich with augratins. The ribeye was a nice size thin cut ribeye steak, which he truly enjoyed. Our plan was to have desert, but after our meal that wasn't even an option for us! We will for sure be back and probably soon. May try during the week with our kids and grandkids so they can enjoy those river views. read more

Great food , great service, great place, highly recommend this location..everything I've had was amazing

So good and very welcoming. Great folks. We had the burger and French onion soup. Would definitely recommend

Was first time there. With the name & by the water, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a dive bar. But no. It's a good sized place that is newly built or completely redone. Big bar. Table seating inside & outside on a nice patio. We had a smash burger & green beans for a side (cuz I do love my beans!) & some garlic parm wings. 2 beers & tried 2 of their seasonal cocktails. Was super happy with all! Several employees checking in always so service was good. I did see shirts for sale. Got carrot cake to go cuz....why wouldn't I. read more

We've been to this place several times and always had good food and service. This past weekend things changed. Big crowd due to the band playing outside. Friend & I ordered the steak sandwich and 7 layer salad to share. The steak was inedible! Full of gristle! I had trouble cutting it to share, due to all the fat. I kept biting into it and finding no lean meat, so gave up. My friend was also spitting out bites of fat. We told the waitress and she said she'd ask the manager about it. No offer to replace it. She came back a while later and said he'd take off half the price from the bill. It was so busy so I didn't push the issue. We didn't see the owner this time. He is usually helping, but someone said he was sitting at the bar. Don't know if we'll go back.... read more

Good ambiance but haven't stayed for music yet. Food and service was good! Would recommend and is somewhat of a hidden gem.

First time here at Sheets Creek and the selections are plentiful. I had the Creek burger which was very good. My wife had the ribeye sandwich which she said had very good flavor and not fatty. Our waitress was friendly, courteous and came back to see if we needed anything during our dinner. The restaurant sits on a lake so the view was great. We will return for another selection for our next meal. Oh yes, the manager/owner? also came out and asked if we were satisfied with meal and service, always appreciated when this occurs. read more

The burger was thin but ok. My biggest gripe was the side of fries. The fries were the dried out nasty crumbs at the bottom of the batch, and to add insult to injury they were cold. I do not recommend this place. read more

Great atmosphere, beautiful day to sit outside. Had a small band playing which was nice. Had the burger, didn't much care for the seasoning , just a little overwhelming, but overall enjoyed the relaxing time spent there read more

First time here. Saturday at 5 and no waiting. When we left 6:15 it was packed. People were lined up and put on a waitlist. It is very cute inside. Posters of western actors. I loved the ones of Beth and Rip. We had 3 beers, cheese curds which were great. For entrees my husband had a tenderloin which was thick with meat and bigger than the bun. I had fried chicken which was good too. They have a lot of sides. I chose mashed potatoes and corn fritters which I loved. With cheesecake dessert our bill was $63. We will go back. The waitstaff were friendly and extremely efficient. We didn't have to eat dessert with dirty plates in front of us. I appreciate a great waitstaff very much! read more

We stopped in for a Saturday evening dinner. This place was hopping! It was busy with very little parking available, but we were able to get seated with a fairly large group in about 10 minutes (outside). Overall, the food was pretty good. The only downfall was that someone in our group ordered walleye, but our waitress returned quite a bit later after ordering to tell him that the fish was already gone. So, he promptly ordered something else (chicken). However, when everyone else's meals were brought out, he still had to wait about 10-15 minutes for his food while everyone else was served. I had the tenderloin and it was very good, but the side of fries were not very warm at all -- definitely seemed like they had been sitting for a bit. Nonetheless, we had a good time and despite the wait, the food was overall very good. There was also entertainment in the outside area while we were there. Would definitely recommend! read more
