Loved the ambience. Service was on point. I had the smash burger and my friend had the perch. She said it was phenomenal. . I'd definitely go back and try something else read more

This was our first time checking out this place. We were seated right away outside, which was perfect since the weather was great. Our drink orders were taken promptly, followed by our appetizers. For starters, we had the pretzel bites and cheese curds. The cheese curds were delicious -- and served in cube form, which was a fun and unique touch. The pretzel bites were decent, though a bit dry in some spots; thankfully, the cheese sauce helped. We also tried the popcorn, which was just okay -- some pieces tasted a little stale. As for the main dishes, everything we tried was pretty good! We ordered the Boom Boom Shrimp Tacos, the Avocado Wrap, the Chicken Caprese Sandwich, and the Pesto Grilled Cheese. Each dish was flavorful, and I especially enjoyed the orzo and the combination of flavors with the Boom Boom Shrimp -- it all worked really well together. Overall, it was a solid first visit and I'd come back to try more! read more

We came here about two weeks ago and had an awesome time. The patio is a great size and good vibes with loudish music. The patio is dog friendly and we were able to dock, hop off the boat, bring the dog and meet up with friends. Drinks were delicious, and we all ordered different types of fish tacos (fried, grilled, and raw ahi). Everyone loved them and it was great to be able to try them all. The tacos were huge! We will be back all summer long. read more

I'm glad we came with friends. 1st timers & it won't be anymore z Food is okay. I ordered Fish fry came in on Friday . Fish could have more flavor. But the Service is excellent by Gina(Bartender) ambiance is phenomenal. You will see the sunset & the beauty of the lake. Highly recommended family, friends or even a a date get together. Just FYI they do get busy & a long line on Friday late evening. I'll be back again to try the rest of the food. But I'll be sitting out the patio lol. Thank you for the lovely visit read more

Great food and a great atmosphere. I have been here a few times now and have enjoyed it both times. The first time I went I sat inside and had a gorgeous view of the lake. The second time I went we sat outside on the patio, again with a nice view of the lake but also with live music. Our server was great and we had a really nice afternoon meal. I would highly recommend. Food recommendations: The chicken caprese sandwich and chopped salad have been my favorite. read more

We love this place, especially in the summer months outside seating watching the sunsets. Love Friday fish baked with the best dill sauce. Drinks and service has always been wonderful...they do their best to make you happy. Parking...well that's a bit tough in the lot even with handicapped. Boat parking looks good though! Can't wait to see your special deco for the holidays. read more

Horrible service!!! Don't go on mother's day for sure unless you want to wait 2 and half hours for your food that wasn't right!!! Owner didn't care! read more

Always good service and Great food. Always comforting being by the Water. Friday fish fry is always a good option. The dill sauce is to die for. Chopped salad is perfect with the raspberry vinaigrette. Their trout special was to die for. Keep up the good work! read more

Food was and always has been good. Atmosphere is great. Right on the lake with amazing sunset views. Indoor and outdoor seating with entertainment. Manage Ent and staff are lacking a lot of skills. Waitresses do the very best they can with very limited bar support. Other staff seem.like they dont know or care about what is going on with seating and entertainment. Management needs to be .ore involved and see what's going on. read more

Great place. Festively decorated (when we went, on 11/20). Good food. Great seevice.

We would have given this 5 stars but the hostess Lily was rude. When I asked for a different table she said no because there were only 2 of us. Ok I understand but 5 minutes later she sat both tables with 2 people. The third and fourth tables remained EMPTY for the rest of our meal. Sad. The food was great and our server was fantastic. It's a shame that our first employee to encounter was so rude. Btw I did mention my disappointment to Lily who shrugged her shoulders and said "sorry" That made it even worse...maybe find another person to be the first touch point of your awesome establishment. The music was also fantastic! read more

So fun place music on outside patio By far the best smoked wings around I am vegetarian and there plant base burger probably best I have ever had Plus popcorn read more

I've been coming to Sunset Grill for many years. I live across the channel and am here once a week on average. Thr food is excellent, the sevice is outstanding and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. Today I was met by the worst hostess I have ever spoken to. I came here with my daughter and her family for dinner and to listen to the music. The hostess told me there would be an hour and a half wait, at least. There were 6 tables open inside so I said one of those tables would be fine, we could still here the music and understand the outside wait. She said no there was nothing available. I said okay we will wait. My grandkids went outside by the water and were dancing and being active when a very nice waitress, Madelyn, approached my daughter. My daughter explained we were waiting for table. Madelyn asked if we would be ok inside and we said of course so she seated us inside. Our waitress greeted us immediatley and was kind and efficient. Please get a new hostess. read more

Great little spot to enjoy the outdoors, view of the lake, and live music. People of many ages were hanging out. Service was quick and drinks refilled often despite the crowd. Lots of people but we still managed to find a seat outside. I got the boom boom tacos and they were awesome! Not as spicy as I was thinking but the avocado was fresh and the pico de gallo topping was good as well. read more

The service was outstanding, waitress Jennifer a Rock Star. Husbands fish fry with potato pancakes top rated, amazing. The baked cod without adding the dill sauce (not gluten free) was sadly disappointing. First serving they spilled dill sauce on and fish was mushy. Replacement was not better the cod had no texture, cole slaw was bland. The broccoli was great and the rice pilaf a C. Atmosphere and staff A+ read more

We had Such an awesome time celebrating with family and friends during the holiday season. Dinner was delicious. Decorations beautiful

We've lived in the area for 35+ years and never been there. But we will make it a favorite from now on. Our waitress went out of her way to make sure we were satisfied - and we were! We went at Christmas time and they went above and beyond with inside decorations - great place to get holiday cheer. We had fish fry and it was perfect - large pieces and light crispy coating. Baked was also delicious. We will be back! read more

Food was just ok, service was iffy, view was nice. My poor kids waited more than half the meal for crayons. We got milk instead of chocolate milk. No parm for chicken alfredo. Place was pretty dirty. read more

This is a place we frequent often during the summer when we're out on our boat, and we've honestly never had an issue then -- which is why this experience was so disappointing. We decided to try the Tipsy Elf bar during the winter, and unfortunately the entire experience was ruined by the hostess staff. We attempted to communicate our needs in advance and were met with condescension, rudeness, and zero effort to listen or comprehend what we were saying. Instead of engaging in a conversation, the head hostess repeatedly barked responses back without processing a word we said. At one point, she snapped -- in an incredibly rude tone -- "I don't think you understand how busy it gets." It felt dismissive, unnecessary, and frankly unprofessional. The hostesses came across as young college kids on a power trip over seating tables, rather than people interested in customer service. We followed the rules that were clearly communicated to us regarding the waitlist. However, when we went to check in, there was suddenly a completely new set of rules that had never been mentioned -- even though we had tried to explain our situation earlier. When we attempted to clarify, we were shut down again. I did ask to speak with a manager, and to be fair, the manager was much more pleasant, patient, and easy to work with**. She actually listened and understood our needs. Unfortunately, by that point, the damage was done. The hostesses' attitudes and need for control completely ruined the experience, and we chose to leave. It's frustrating because we genuinely enjoy this place in the summer, but this visit left a bad taste. Management may want to take a closer look at how the hostess staff is trained -- especially in the off-season -- because one interaction at the door can absolutely determine whether customers stay or walk out. Editing to respond- I 100% agree with you, I was out of character and could have provided more kindness and understanding. Frustration took over after engaging with them multiple times and not being heard or understood/ everyone's demeanor (to include my own). Communication could have been handle better all around. read more

We went for the amazing Bloody Mary's, and this place is awesome! Clean, friendly and great views. The Bloody Mary's were a meal in themself and all the fixings so tasty! We also had the cheese curds, yummy. Our server Jessica super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive just great! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back! read more

Has become a regular place for us. Easy boat access. Awesome Tiki deck overlooking the water at sunset. Great food, 2 steps above other Chain bar food. Hard working staff and approachable management. Great little bands on the weekends. Improvements could include expanded hours and peel 'n eat shrimp on the menu. read more

We used to go when it was Ricki & Suzi's place and have many fun friends and family memories together there. Went to Sunset and the service food and ambiance is amazing. Highly recommended especially after a boat ride for sunset dinner. Arrive by boat or car! read more

I'm only rating the service which if I could would be zero stars. I call around 4:30 on a Friday. Person that answers says they don't take reservations for two and she's not the hostess anyways. Proceeds to tell me plenty of tables open inside and outside. We head over and girl in Ole Miss t-shirt tells us there's a 20 minute wait for the outside because the staff hasn't shown up yet. Mind you this is 5PM on a Friday. We point out two open tables and get the same no staff explanation. We decide to wait at the outside tiki bar and get a drink while waiting for a table. The one bartender comes and goes, serves others, never makes eye contact with us. 20 minutes goes by. No drinks. Broiling in the sun. We go inside and I ask for the manager. Alex- about 25 yrs old - apologizes, says he just came on duty, and offers drinks. It's now 5:45. Really? Your manager comes on duty at 5:45 on a Friday? Epic failure. Unless you are a regular or the DJ who seemed to be able to get food for himself and his girlfriend, you will be ignored. Take your money elsewhere for a fish fry, dinner, or drinks. UPDATE 6/23/25 Jennifer, shall I post the screen shots of your check-in and table ready notifications that shows nearly 20 minutes? Proof talks, lies/defensiveness makes people walk. read more

It's one of the "nicer" waterfront options on the chain. Decent drinks, decent food and they give you popcorn. Never had a bad time there, the service has always been pretty good, and it's got less of the hi-fivin' dudebro 50-somethings than a lot of the other places around here. read more

We walked in just as they opened at 3, were greeted with a big smile and we were seated outside with the amazing view... with a big bowl of fresh hot popcorn! Our server was awesome, she didn't miss a beat! We ordered the calamari, bang bang shrimp and the steak trio! Yum! The steak trio was perfectly cooked and the sauce on it was perfect, the bang bang shrimp is probably one of my favorite foods ever! The calamari was really good too but we ate too much of the bang bang shrimp to finish the calamari! We will be back, it feels like a little vacation! read more

Sunset Grill - Our view from our table! - Burgers Near Me - Antioch, Illinois

Patio seating has a beautiful view. The live music is really talented and the burger, soup and salad we ordered were delicious. The only con was that we had to wait a while around 45 minutes to get our food. Service is a bit slow But if youre vibing w the atmosphere it's not too bad. read more

Sunset Grill has a nice layout and great views of the river. There's plenty of outside seating and even live music outdoors. However our orders are consistently incorrect. Unfortunately I wasn't able to eat my meal as I had requested no bacon or mayo and yet they had seemingly doubled the bacon. Other members of our group also had various issues with their orders as well. I would come back because of the atmosphere but maybe just for drinks! read more

The shrimp tacos are my absolute favorite!!! The outside view is incredible and it's nice that we can go by boat or by land! Super great service every time! read more

Nice place. Food is really good. They have the best avgolemono soup I have ever had. My girl and I drive about 20 miles to eat it lol. Great smoked chicken wings with really chunky blue cheese dressing. Burgers are great. Everything I've eaten has been top notch. read more

Excellent food, nice variety in menu choices & terrific wait staff. Very loud-maybe need to add sound absorbing tiles. View of the lake is just awesome. Friday fish fry is the best around. Will stop here again & again! read more

Unfortunately there was a hair in my son's food. Waitress didn't apologize, brought us another dish. We all were done eating by the time new dish came out. No compensation on anything (ie soda, appetizer). Paid Full price and no gift card for the inconvenience. This place needs to work on management skills and having cooks wear proper wear in the kitchen. read more

I don't like that this place smells like a sewer. Even in the dead of winter it smells like a sewer. Water tastes like a sewer too. Food and service are both hit or miss. Drinks are good, but special holiday drinks were a little pricey and weren't all that great. read more

This steak is raw. I took it "to go" so this is a big problem. It's raw as fuck. The place was empty for some supposed chef to Fuck it up is embarrassing. read more

Perfection. I had the Mushroom Swiss burger and my husband had the Reuben. Both plates were just the best ever. Wonderful service and a terrific view made for a delightful Friday dinner. There were people waiting for tables as we were leaving at 6, so plan to get there early or have a beverage while you wait. read more

We came here for dinner on a Wednesday night. We were seated outside and the view was very nice. The menu is diverse and should have something for just about everyone. The four of us at my table got the Buffalo chicken flatbread, the boom boom tacos, the chicken finger dinner and I got the wedge salad and the chicken and rice soup. Our server was friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Everyone enjoyed their food and from my viewpoint, it looked good. My wedge salad looked good from when it was sat down but as I cut it up I realized it had way too much dressing. After getting it all cut up it more resembled soup. I would get the wedge again but I would request the dressing on the side so I could control the amount. All in all good experience. Will be back for certain. read more

Delicious food! Would recommend this establishment to anybody looking for a quick bite to eat. Nothing but good things to say about it

Good lakeside restaurant serving good American fare. Views awesome from outside or in. Service outstanding. Bonus great docks and help to tie the boat off. Best place on the chain read more
