    Custom made burgers and view of the river. New remodeled place near Seneca-nice setting. Sports on the televisions.

    We heard about this new burger joint along the river and decided to try it out. The food was good, perfect for a boating day where you come in off the water to get a bite to eat. The menu is very limited but sufficient enough for something fast while boating or just stopping in for a bite. The staff was super friendly as well and not to mention they take very good care of veterans with a discount which was completely appreciated!!

    This place is great atmosphere ambiance is perfect. Went on a Saturday acoustic band playing on the river Smash burger was excellent fries perfect crab Rangoon appetizer was spot on We will be back on a weakly basis looks like finally springbrook marina has the bar restaurant we've wanted for years

    Delicious food! Had the patty melt, and a chicken salad! Fries were great too. Easy to order, right off the river. Can't wait to go back!

    The view was great from the deck, overlooking the river, especially this time of year (summer).

    Barista Tara is a rockstar!! I visited CoCo & Blu the other day and inquired about latte art. I was…read moretold that the amazing artist who'd once made my drink had moved out of state, but that everyone else there could make hearts and flowers. Enter Tara, who said she'd try her best to make something special. She delivered an adorable bear on my drink! She said she might be able to do better, but I loved her effort and enthusiasm. My friend and I headed outside to enjoy our drinks on the patio. Several minutes later, Tara came outside carrying another latte. She had PERFECTED the latte bear and gave it to us for free! She made my entire day. Thank you to Tara for the amazing art and for going above and beyond in your customer service!! I can't wait to go back for my next coffee and hope she's working when I do.

    Came here for the first time on a Saturday. Was fortunate enough to walk into town and walk in…read morehere. On a Saturday morning at not even 9 AM. Expect a line as there was a long line when we arrive. Unfortunately there's only one person at the cashier register and I think there's only one register and there's only that one person who's taking the orders. While I understand that this is a small run shop I will say that standing in line and waiting on a Saturday morning really is discouraging. The food however, a super delicious and came out very timely. So absolutely no complaints for me and they also have a water station set up so you can help yourself to water which is fantastic. After sitting around for about an hour to an hour and a half this place got super packed with families's children and strollers which made it even harder to move around. The ambience is fantastic so definitely worth it for your social media. I would come back here again, however I'm not really someone to order alcohol here at this time but for breakfast I think it's great.

    Such a coolly decorated place!…read more Had a work dinner event and happy hour place and was blown away when I walked in. The design is very in your face, with bright colors and large fixtures. Super cool. Staff was amazing, both the bartenders and servers. Very attentive and out of their way to accommodate. We had a coursed dinner. Apps were good. Shrimp ceviche was not my fav, but the smoked mushroom croquettes were flavorful and good. Carnivale Salad was great with little cheese bites and great dressing. I got the filet. Didn't ask for temp, but the crust was flavorful. Not a cake person, but the chocolate dulce de leche cake was one of my favorite things. Would come back for a drink, salad and dessert.

    Stopped by Carnivale on my last trip to Chicago. When you arrive parking can be a bit difficult as…read morethis restaurant is located in the West Loop. You'll need to either street park or find your taking in a nearby garage. When you walk in you'll feel like your transported to a festival like, bright, and colorful atmosphere. Several people had mentioned that you need to stop by Carnivale if you ever visit Chicago. It felt like there were different themes in each room with different people murals/themes and a great spot for taking instagram photos. I ordered the Gaucho Steak (12 oz. 45-Day Dry-Aged Creekstone Farms Ribeye, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Chimichurri) which was excellent and packed with flavor. The restaurant is so beautiful, definitely recommend exploring the different rooms if you stop in.

    "Where do the locals eat?" is something I typically ask when I'm in uncharted waters. "The…read moreHideout" is aptly named because it's hidden behind the façade of an American Legion Post and flies beneath the radar of folks from out-of-town. But the public is welcome, and it's high time to share this local treasure on Yelp! Oh, this joint is nuttin' fancy. The Post decided to increase its visibility by putting a small sign on the outside of the building. Period. There is a large front room with a bar, and a few steps up is a spacious meeting hall suitable for groups and private parties. Gaming is between the two rooms. The décor (what décor?) is plain-plain but the vibe is friendly and festive. The recently-expanded menu features diner fare and pub grub with a smattering of Mexican and Cajun items. We dined with a group of friends and passed around a few apps. The crawfish soup earned thumbs-up, ditto the colossal batter-dipped onion rings and piquant fried pickles. I had a BBQ brisket wrap; it was bursting with possibly more than 8 oz. of tender and juicy smoked brisket. A red smoke ring was visible and the sauce was just right. My Missus said her burger, served on a rich brioche bun, was exceptional. Portions are huge and the down-to-earth prices include one side. There are several sides to pick from. I had the tangy but overdressed coleslaw. There are two pasta entrées on the menu - "Cajun" and "Alfredo." The "Cajun" turned out to be Alfredo pasta topped with diced tomatoes. Apart from that one dud, which was sent back to the kitchen, the food, service and value exceeded our expectations. Of note, dessert and coffee are not served here (but there's a Dunkin nearby). We gotta return for a Friday fish fry.
