Got some greats beers from this brewery in Algonquin. It probably is the best thing about this…read moretown, or, it's what people know most about it. Scorched Earth is one of the main hangouts on weekends. A good amount of beers to choose from. There's a pretty big variety on tap. Coming here early in the afternoon, and it was already busy. It's a brewery that's also family friendly. That means it's okay to bring kids, which is getting increasingly common for breweries it seems. A lot of interesting sounding ones on the list. It's about $7 a pint. Pretty okay for locally owned and produced. Best of the ones we had was the Wunderpilz, a German style pilsner that was light. It's got no food in here except $5 tubs of Von Hanson's Pretzels. Has more when food trucks are here. There's usually one on site. Has a pretty hidden location off Algonquin Road on Berg. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's food trucks on weekends.

Bullseye Pub keeps things simple -- a solid place to grab a beer, throw a few darts, and unwind…read more The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, leaning into the kind of no-frills bar experience that knows exactly what it is. Beyond that, it doesn't try to be much more -- but the fun karaoke nights add a welcome boost of energy. It's a straightforward spot that delivers on a good time without overcomplicating things.

We stopped in on a Tuesday for tacos. We ordered appetizers as well. Our server, Jordan, was super…read morefriendly and quick. It was taco Tuesday and they were out of steak and we settled for beef. Our tacos came out and we were told that there were about limes and they were also out of salsa. I asked for a lemon, and they were out of those as well. Whoever is in charge or ordering is definitely slacking. A bar that is out of limes and lemons? No salsa on Taco Tuesday? This should be a. 2 star, but I gave it a 3 because our bartender/server was great.

We were excited to check out the only self-pour concept in our area…read more Darts were awesome, but make sure you eat before you start darts because you will spend that valuable (and expensive) time eating when you want to play. The host was flexible with start times so we could order which was a major plus! Wings were great, beer selection is solid, but overall a high ticket price for a basic experience.

My family comes here for lunch often now, so it's time to update my review…read more This place officially has the best wraps. The chicken bacon ranch wrap and the Caesar salad wrap are very good. Them all paired up with a cold beer and I'm a happy guy. Service is always good here, the people are great. They have a loyalty program that gives you points for dollars spent, I recommend getting it as it will help offset the stupid "technology fee" they tack on for using cards to pay.

Best cheese curds ever!!! This restaurant/bar is just off the beating path of Randall Road shopping…read morestores. We were out shopping and needed to refuel. What we ordered: * cheese curds- delicious * Cheesebuger with all the fixings-and fries * Hangover Buger The burgers were cooked perfectly to our liking, and flavorful. The French fries were crispy and yummy! Our server, Ashley was personable, friendly, prompt and on the ball with service. We didn't need to ask for refills, she brought them as she saw our drinks were getting low.

Jen, our server, was great! Friendly and attentive. Food was awesome, burgers had a lot of flavor…read more Next time I'd ask for regular onions instead of grilled on my sliders... but otherwise amazing! Parking was plentiful, we didn't have to wait to sit (we did seat ourselves), it was a friendly atmosphere. Clean inside, as well. Will definitely be back!

Conversations with the staff and occasionally the customers seems to just flow naturally. Has a Cheers feel where familiar faces meets welcoming atmosphere. Sydney, server and bartender, recently introduced a new set of cocktails. Adventurous as I am, I had to try the Campfire (I think that's what it's called). Made with Scotch and a hand toasted marshmallow (see pic), it was smooth and smoky (though no smoke is involved), capturing the essence of a campfire and S'mores. Easily a new favorite. Awesome Sydney!!!!!! My wife wasn't too hungry, but I ordered the Chicago Chopped Cheese from the specials menu (see pic). Surprisingly good and didn't expected the style. Chef Mark is on a role lately, as I have tried all but one of the specials. Keep it going. Be back soon!
