    Social House 227 - Chicken Caesar Wrap

    My fiancee are in the area for work and wanted to try a local spot for dinner instead of eating our…read moremeal prep... We stopped into the social house and got some .75 cent wings to share..our waitress told us that their fry seasoning was the best around. That it was so good, people used to ask for the wings "naked" and then get it dry rubbed with the fry seasoning... so we decided to check those out. The timing was a bit off, because we got our entree salads first, and the entree came out with the wings. But whatever. The wings were cooked well. The honey bbq sauce i had on the side was nice. The fry seasoning was very salty. I found myself dipping every bite in the honey bbq to cut the salt flavor down. My entree was the chicken marsala. We were told that the potato of the day was mashed... which goes great with marsala... so, i ordered that with my chicken marsala, but got it loaded (bacon/cheese/butter/sour cream). Then the waitress asked me what side, I wanted.. so i found the sides menu and picked mac and cheese. Cool. Ready to rock. A handful of minutes later she came back and clarified that i wanted the mac and cheese, and i said yeah, absolutely. She laughed and said ok i thought you said potatoes. To which i said yes. We kind of looked at each other and she told me i only get one side and she put in the mac and cheese, and i asked about the potatoes, etc... i ultimately ended up paying to have potatoes too which was 3 or 4 dollars more. Then to get it loaded was an additional $2. I wanted both, so it is what it is... but i was mildly annoyed. The mac and cheese was very watery and lackluster. The potatoes didnt come with butter or sour cream. The marsala was tasty, but the chicken was a bit overcooked. I initally wanted to throw this rating a 2 star. But, my other half, had the smothered pork special... She said that it was very tasty, had a lot of flavor, creamy, and was overall good. She had it served over the mashed potatoes...and enjoyed it. She said it was a bit tough, but that she would give it a higher rating than 2.... so i settled on 3. We may be back to try some pizza or a sandwich...

Its a fun atmosphere and the service staff is upbeat and happy. I love the way its decorated, with the string lights and it just gives a great comfy vibe. We started with the spinach and artichoke appetizer which hit the spot from the get go. I ordered a chicken sandwich, my husband a burger and we both got the famous fries. I asked what makes them so famous and our waitress said she didn't know but she knew they were good. I need the recipe! I totally could not stop eating them. Whatever their secret is, please share!! We definitely will be back when in the area!

    Bakers & Hale is a family favorite and an absolute must whenever I am in IL seeing family. The vibe…read moreis incredibly relaxed and very family friendly, ample space so you never feel crowded. The food is consistently good with generous portions, and the friendly service always makes the experience enjoyable. if your there during the live music, it's a really nice touch. Even though I come here all the time, for some reason I always forget the actual name and just refer to it as "Bangers and Mash." Luckily, my family always knows exactly whatI mean!

    Bakers & Hale is probably one of the if not the most popular restaurants in the Riverbend area…read more They are know for their amazing bands on the patio, which is year round and a pretty decent Happy Hour. The other day I meet up with some of my cousins for Happy Hour. I cannot go wrong with one of the HH pizzas. Three of the six cousins, ordered pizza with different toppings. I went with the HH Taco's. I enjoyed Two Shrimp Taco's for only $7. The HH pizzas are $10. Three cousins went with the regular menu and enjoyed salads, chicken wings and chicken strips/tenders. Everyone was pleased with their food. The only thing keeping B&H from getting 5 Stars is the service. It's never consistent. One time it's over the top and the next time it's the bare minimum. It really depends on who you get as a server. The seasoned ones who have been for a long time, know how to work a table. The newer and younger ones, just don't get it. They don't hustle and as their station fills up, they get overwhelmed and everything goes downhill. When: January 7, 2026 Why: Happy Hour with the cousins
