    World Cup on the big screens
    Annette M.

    This is a fun, loud, family friendly sports bar with a menu that specializes in wings, and smash burgers but has some elevated food options as well. We walked in with a party of seven during a World Cup match but we were seated pretty quickly considering how packed it was. Our server greeted us right away and we asked for water (96 degrees outside) while we looked over the menu. The water tasted like how a dishwasher smells so we thought it was the plastic tumblers but the server said it's because it's St Charles water. Everything is ala carte except for the kids menu items that come with a choice of two sides. We had two happy kids with us. I love that they have a huge gluten free menu. The fried rice came with an egg on top and sauce on the side and my daughter ordered it with brisket which was a surprisingly good combo. I would suggest that they include the fries with the burgers. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal and we are glad to have this new eatery nearby.

    Recently opened in Spring 2026, this family friendly sports bar in located in the new Fox Haven Square in St. Charles. We had out of town guests so we went on a Thursday night. It was very crowded due to the soccer World Cup but we were seated in about 10 minutes. It was very loud and even our server Marina had a hard time hearing us to take our order. They have a Main,Gluten Free and Kids menu which was perfect for our party of 7. Everything is ala carte..even the sandwiches which was annoying except for the kids meals which come with 2 sides and a drink. I had the Chicken Tenders (12.99)and paid additional to try their Blueberry Scotch Bonnet sauce. I am so glad I did,it was amazing. My wife had the Melty Brisket Sandwich (19.99) which was very flavorful but somewhat messy and was ala carte. Other dishes we tried were the Simple Fried Rice with Brisket(22.99),a double Smash Burger (20.96)and Mac & Cheesetopia(12.99). Portions were good. We also ordered their Beef Fat Fries with BBQ rub and Simply seasoning...both were very bland. I would recommend going when there is not a major sporting event going on as it gets very loud and order the shareable plates as the sandwiches are expensive considering they are ala carte.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    My daughter and I went on a Saturday afternoon. Was able to get a table right away. Benjamin was our server and was very helpful. We just ordered a few appetizers. Everything was very tasty; we enjoyed the sprouts, truffle fries, and spinach and artichoke. They have TVs so you could enjoy sports while dining. Really liked the laid-back atmosphere. Erik, the owner, stopped by our table and let us know about the new brunch menu. He was very friendly and made sure everything was great. We really enjoyed the restaurant and liked how different the menu was compared to other restaurants. We wish them the best.

    We have wanted to come here forever. We ended up here on a Friday not knowing that it's a good day…read moreto come. Let's start with that we got here during happy hour and our Pretzel bites were on special, Score! Not sure we can ever come back and not get them, they are the best version I have ever had, Hot, Crisp and the warm beer cheese that I could eat with a spoon, and they're huge! Great start! Friday Fish Fry is on special as were old fashions, Double Score! You can choose from I think cod or walleye, we both got walleye and they come with fries (really really good fresh cut fries) and coleslaw plus soup or salad for under $20. They have a few versions of old fashions, we got the classic wisconsin with korbel brandy and sweet. They were a bit booze forward and not real sweet but still good. One was enough and we switched to beer from their impressive beer list. The Fish was 2 large pieces perfectly cooked with great fries and good slaw, huge portions and very very good. The salads were a good size for a side salad and also very good. Great portions, great service, and very nice place...we may be regulars

    Bartenders were prompt, polite, and friendly. The waitress in the front section (short blonde mid…read more20s) was brusk, unfriendly, and rude. Unless you're going for an "Ed Debevic's" vibe, that chick needs a new line of work, maybe a tow truck driver, or corrections officer. #mid

The waitress/hostess was super friendly to us and our dog. She brought her a bowl of water to drink. The food was okay. My mom liked the nachos. The mac and cheese bites were average.

But the star is the large wonderful patio, nicely spaced out, and not too crowded. The menu is pretty typical bar centric fare, but big enough to have something for everyone. Being lunch we wanted something smaller/lighter and both got the turkey bacon grinder. For drinks I got an excellent hazy pale ale that I never had before from Penrose Brewing called Goofy Boots and my wife had a bloody mary that was on special. Great Drinks.... check. For sides I got fries as they listed fresh cut fries and my wife got chips. The fries were awesome, they know how to cook fries, perfectly cooked, great crisp and well browned/done. The sandwitches were very good and abit unique, turkey, melted provolone and what they call grinder salad which was like a coleslaw made with lettuce. A perfect lunch, good sandwich and amazing fries...I'd go back and just eat fries and be perfectly happy.
