Awesome place! They need something to stop the sound bounce. I've seen this in other bars. easy fix just apply padded absorbing pads on ceiling read more

Amazing place, from the huge TV to the delicious food. This is my new go to restaurant in St. Charles! We were greeted with warm smiles. We demolished the wings and couldn't stop eating the French fries. The kids menu was a kid and parent's dream come true. My kids ate everything and that never happens. Can't wait to watch some games on the big screen and try new menu ideas! read more

Pleasantly surprised. Erick introduced himself and was completely positive on opening this new restaurant. Explained some hurdles. Food was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Can't wait to checkout Friday night entertainment. Place looked like a downtown establishment. read more

Simple EJ's just opened in St Charles and the food is great! The owners Erik and Jim are super friendly and welcoming. Everything I've tried here has been delicious too. My favorite so far has been the honey chicky sandwich, the fries, smoked brisket slider, and the skillet cookie. Their wings are also amazing and the meat comes right off the bone making them super easy to eat. Although, when I ordered the honey chicken sandwich, they forgot to put the garlic aioli on it. I couldn't remember if it was supposed to have it on it, but after checking the menu, I realize it was. It's alright though because it still tastes great without it! The mac and cheese looked great in photos, but it was a bit dry and I wish it was more creamy. The pork chop is huge and great for sharing! It comes with a sweet cherry marinade, butter beans, and brussels sprouts. The location is conveniently located right next to the movie theater I always go to, so we went here before seeing a movie and it worked out perfectly. My bf was also able to watch a bit of the Sox game, which he was happy about. The people working were really helpful in changing the channel on the TVs in front of us so he could watch it more closely. The giant LED screen is going to be so much fun during football season! read more

We ventured out that way for an event and because we left right after work we were so hungry when we got there that we ordered a drink and a couple appetizers. We got the pretzel and pork sliders and the Snozzberry Blueberry Yum Yum. All of which was fantastic! The sliders had a kick (spicy), but rich in flavors. There were 3 and served with onion rings which the hubby put on his slider. The pretzel was huge, I mean huge! Big enough to share with a group of people. It was served with Dijon Mustard, Cheese and a Blueberry Cream Cheese sauces and I will tell you that blueberry cream cheese sauce was the star of the show. Perfect combo with a great flavor. My drink was delicious! Services was great and the owner "E" (Eric) stopped by to chat us and tell us the history of the restaurant. read more

So I went there with a friend yesterday for the first time the waiter was really nice. She asked us what kind of drink need. I got a dietary Coke. My friend got like different types of alcohol to try and then after that, they run out good food. It was really good. I recommend going there. I've met the owner of the place. He was really nice. Good place to eat at. It's in located in Saint Charles Illinois. and the place was cool to hang out and watch sports. We tried every portion and I got really full. read more

Great new restaurant, everything is very fresh and flavorful. The owners are extremely friendly and servers are attentive. The brisket sliders are my personal favorite. Fries are crispy as can be love that they use beef tallow! read more

This was my 1st Community Yelp event and I was not disappointed. Everything was amazing from the food to the drinks to the staff! The vibe is like a high end sports bar. And it's family friendly. The owners made sure to come out and take to time to talk to us. They are both so passionate about the restaurant and the food. You can truly tell the chef enjoys what he does. Everything is made from scratch and made with love. They even have a cute mascot named Charlie. read more

Not vegetarian, vegan, or red meat allergy friendly. They don't have separate friers from beef tallow so everything is being fried in beef tallow. I expect a newer restaurant in today's day to have dietary accommodations. To say the veggie substitute is a falafel, that is then being fried in beef tallow is rather misleading. We were offered the option of having a salad. I tried their Mac n cheese and spinach artichoke dip. The Mac n cheese lacked flavor. The spinach artichoke dip was good though. I would return for drinks only. My husband (carnivore) got the wings. He enjoyed the restaurant and said he'd go back. He'd give it a 4. We got seated pretty quickly without a reservation so they are walk in friendly. read more

I'd wait a few months or prepare to be very patient. Came here with our two kids as this was heavily advertised as a family friendly restaurant-- unfortunately our experience was anything but that. To start, it's VERY LOUD inside. Okay for a bar, but not for a family friendly dinner experience. It took nearly 25 minutes to get 4 waters -- took 45 minutes for my wife and I to get our bar drinks. Was over an hour before we got any food (appetizers lost even after we asked about them twice). Our kids wanted to just walk out and goto Fire & Wine instead, but we hung in there. The food was decent -- but their staff is not ready for a full restaurant. They discounted our meal significantly, so that was appreciated, but they are just not ready. read more

Really impressed with my first experience last night. High end bar and grill feel. Great menu, service was solid. I would give it a shot. Owner was out and about and very engaged. Great to see!! We will be back. read more

Wow! This place is great! Not only is the food amazing but service is also good! Great looking bar with huge tv's everywhere, big open doors to outside. The Smashburger was great! Wings were outstanding, looking at the menu, it was very difficult to choose! Just go! You're gonna like it. read more

Atmosphere, servers and owner who personally went around to ask how everything was. The Chili chimichurri wings were perfection. Great flavor not spicy. Mild buffalo was truly mild but tasty. Smashburger was very good. Love their sauce on it. Went with the classic fries but going to venture out next time and try the other flavors. Very kid and family friendly. Nice grass patch out front watched a bunch of kids played soccer. Can't wait to try more next time we visit. Impressive for a day after they opened. read more

First time visit, Nice open atmosphere, talked and met the owner Erik, high energy, very positive in the goals for EJ's. Pricing is good and the food was excellent. Only pet peeve for me is the Water tasted chemical and stale. All the rest was above par and great. Maybe change to a filtered water. read more

Visited last week and we were sat immediately, given menus, and brought water. We had to flag a busser after 20 minutes to ask for someone to come take our order. After another 5 minutes, someone finally came over and we placed our order and food came out about 10 minutes later. Seems like it could be a good place, just need more experienced servers. read more

We stopped here after watching a movie next door. This place is so good! They have several tv's including a very large screen so perfect for game days. Even better is the food! We had appetizers and drinks. The chicken tenders were the best in the area and the spinach artichoke dip was really good! The owner is walking around making sure everything is perfect and the servers are friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Wings were underwhelming due to the size of them, but the wing sauces saved them! Buffalo sauce and blueberry bourbon were 10/10! Truly a "fall off the bone" wings read more

As soon as I walked in the enormous TV was the first thing I noticed, I haven't seen anything like it before. Erika our server was very nice and recommended the blueberry scotch bonnet smoked wings which were amazing. We ordered the brisket sliders and Brussel sprouts 10/10. We met one of the owners Eric and he was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back here to enjoy some great food and to watch Bears games on that monster TV. read more

We came for the World Cup and it was a great time. Great food, fast service, definitely excited to have it here locally. Will be back with more friends & kids soon! Great space for all. Finally. read more

Buyer beware. $11.99 for a smashburger, period. Want lettuce, tomato? Pay extra. Just a small burger on a white circular plate. Restaurant is voluminous in height = loud. The evening we went (6/10) the front was flooding from the rain, although the hostess said they were simply cleaning the floor. The owner stopped by and I mentioned my lukewarm impression of the food. He said he'd take the burger off. I just checked my Visa and the burger WAS NOT taken off. I was charged $52.59 (for 1 drink, 2 burgers, 1 side onion rings) in stead of $39.58 - check #8282. The best part was the owner bragging about having had 30 restaurants, which - given he looked in his 50s - wouldn't be a bragging point to me, but an admission of not having successful establishments. I give this place one year, max. read more

First time visit. Good bar food and staff. Family with children are separated from sports bar area. Play area outside for the children that is easily visible by the parents. Staff seemed eager to please. Clean, with a super large TV in the sports bar. read more

This is a typical sports bar, extremely loud! And that's with the open atmosphere. I imagine when the doors and windows are all closed it would be even louder. The host took his job very seriously. I suppose he is new to the restaurant business. He was cordial. Our waitress was cheerful and attentive. I ordered the chimmichurri shrimp. It is spicy!!! Which I didn't mind. But it is fire spicy, so order with caution. My husband had the honey chicken sandwich. The brioche bun is a bit fragile for this type of sandwich and falls apart with any condiments added. Perhaps a regular burger bun would be better. We ordered two gin and tonics, but honestly, the pour was slight. I couldn't even taste the gin. Thankfully their wine pour is generous. Might try again. It's a new place in town, so I would probably give them another chance. I would give this a 3.5 if I could. read more

What a fun place to meet and eat with friends and/or family. The environment is friendly and staff were very helpful and welcoming. The food offers classic and adventurous offerings. The melty brisket sammy was delicious. The truffle Parmesan fries were so good! Bring your appetite because the portions were generous but you will get your money's worth. read more

We went (party of 4) there on opening night. We were warmly greeted at the door and promptly seated for our 6:00 PM reservation. The service was consistent, attentive and fun throughout our 2.5 hour dinner. We ordered a liquor they didn't have, so they literally sent someone next door to Jewel to buy it so that we could buy those three drinks from them...above and beyond...and smart. Nicely done. The place is LOUD, so be ready to speak louder than normal. You should treat it as a sports bar with an upgrade on traditional bar type food. It has an impressive large screen for all to enjoy and smaller screens over the bar. The ceiling is painted black to cover the electrical, HVAC ducts, joists etc., the floors are polished cement, and the entire space has partial visibility into the kitchen to watch the prep through a window. It's a fun layout with mixed type seating from high tops to regular table seating, bar stools and booths. For appetizers we ordered the "Cheesy Chips" (we added bacon) and the sprouts. The chips were very tasty in tray type presentation. They could have used more gruyere bechamel to cover more chips, but was still enjoyed by all. The sprouts - were amazing, extremely well flavored and cooked to perfection, a must have. For the main course, the "smash burgers" were not great and lacked flavor. They are currently serving their smash burgers a la carte, so unless you order one of their five (5) sides, you get a smash burger on a large white plate and that's it. It is served on a buttered brioche bun, but the meat simply lacks flavor even with the cheese, onions, pickles and their simple sauce on top. The "Mac & Cheesetopia" (we added bacon and brisket) came as a generous portion but again lacked flavor and was missing that creamier consistency and seasoning. For dessert we ordered the "Classic Skillet Cookie"...which was perfect, tasty, warm and served with a desirable presentation . . . dangerously delicious. This is going to be a great place to hang out, especially when the garage doors are open, they get their menu tweaked the way they want and they build their operational pace. Recommended. read more
