JJ's On The Bend posts frequently in a local restaurant social media group I'm in, so I've known of…read morethem since they opened a couple years ago in the location that used to belong to The Wedge. They're a little farther out than I usually go for a fish fry, but I had time on this particular day and wanted to give them a shot. I ordered the Baja breaded fish with homemade chips and mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. The fish fry comes with a side of mac and cheese too. The mozzarella sticks are an incredibly good value. Not too many places sell the awesome wonton wrapped kind that's also battered and it was surprisingly six sticks for only $8. I hope for every customer's sake they don't realize the mozzarella sticks are undervalued and raise the price or change what kind of sticks they serve. When I called to place my order I asked what the Baja breading was and was told that it wasn't spicy, but it added some flavor. You could have fooled me cause both the breading and seasoning had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Additionally, the fish was DRY. It's not often that I choose to not eat the fish I order, but this was one of those rare instances. The homemade chips were good. A couple pieces stuck together when they were fried so not every piece was super crunchy, but close to it. The cheese sauce for the mac and cheese was flavorless, yellowish-orange paste that weirdly had more heat due to specks of pepper than the Baja seasoning on the fish had. I was excited that my meal came with mac and cheese, but ate only a couple bites before giving up like I did with the fish. JJ's is cash only. I don't know if they have an ATM on site as I had cash with me and didn't need to look for or ask about an ATM. Though the mozzarella sticks were great, the fish being so bad is why I'm leaving a 3 out of 5 for my review.

This may not be Ireland but it damn good a small Wisconsin town in the U.S. They have a menu of about six sandwiches, a pasta, salad, garlic bread and one dessert. I don't know if this is the menu all the time or just late night. I had the Reuben and a Guinness draught, it was a solid sandwich with kettle chips and a pickle spear. The draught was a good solid pour. The service is nice and quick. The Kilkenny cream ale is also a good pour. The chocolate mascarpone cheesecake has a chocolate crumb crust, it's a nice light chocolate mouse like pie, its a bit sweet for me, but fine for a restaurant grade bulk dessert. It's a nice place, lots of room to move, good for large and small groups. I'll keep this on my short list for when I'm in the area again.

My issue is with anything that characterizes them as a "restaurant". They're not. They have an electric frying pan on the back bar and you should expect a 30 minute wait on a simple sandwich. If you go with 2 or 3 other people, don't expect your meals to arrive at the same time. This is not a restaurant. They should just give up on the food thing and become a better bar.

I was at work over the weekend when I randomly started craving wings. Not just any wings either. I…read morewanted some top notch wings. I started thinking about places nearby, and Sports Page came to mind. I hadn't been there since around 2024, but I remembered how good their wings were. It was only about 20 minutes away, so I figured it was time to go back. Now I just needed someone to go with me. I call my cousin. He tends to be busy, so I didn't know what answer I was going to get. He tells me he has a meeting but will let me know. Most of my other cousins were working, so I called the one cousin I knew was almost always down. Sure enough, he was in. Then, to my surprise, my other cousin texted saying his meeting fell through. Just like that, what started as me trying to find someone to grab wings with turned into lunch with both of them. We get to Sports Page, and obviously I'm getting the wings. My cousins considered them, but one went with the chicken sandwich and the other got the Southwest burger. They both enjoyed what they ordered. When the wings came out, they looked exactly how I remembered them. Medium sized, completely covered in buffalo sauce, and looking fresh out of the kitchen. From the first bite, you get that crisp exterior before getting to the juicy and tender chicken underneath. Even with the sauce covering them, that texture held up from the first wing to the last. The buffalo sauce is really what separates these wings for me. Sports Page only has one wing flavor, and when you make buffalo this well, I understand why. It's rich, buttery, and savory with just the right amount of spice. Some places go too heavy on the butter, and it takes away from what buffalo is supposed to taste like. Others lean too heavily into the vinegar and acidity. Sports Page finds that perfect spot in the middle. The richness and spice complement each other without overpowering the wing. Now, I know I love wings. I go out of my way to try some of the best wing places I can find, so you might think I'm biased. Luckily, I had two people sitting across from me who helped prove my point. Neither cousin ordered wings, but as I was enjoying mine, both reached across the table and grabbed one. I didn't tell them to try one or try to convince them. They just helped themselves. Then they came back for more. What makes this even better is that one of these cousins is basically a wing hater. Not because he dislikes wings, but because he knows how much I love them and thinks I hype them up too much. He's been with me to some of the other top wing places I've tried, so he's heard me talk about wings plenty. That's why watching him reach across the table again and again might have been the best review Sports Page could've gotten from him. He didn't need to tell me they were good. Coming back three times said enough. I ordered 20 wings and somehow only ended up eating around 13. I eventually told both of my cousins they should've just ordered the wings themselves. By the end, they agreed the wings were better than what they had chosen. To me, that's when you know you're not just dealing with good wings. You're dealing with good food. The service was good too. Our waiter was very nice and stayed on top of things. The wings took around 15 to 20 minutes to come out, which I don't mind when they taste fresh and cooked to order. While looking through the menu, I noticed Sports Page says they've won Wing Fest in Chicago. After having these wings again, I believe it. The more of the best wings in Illinois I try, the harder it becomes for a place to stand out. Sports Page still manages to do it. I hadn't been there since around 2024, and the wings tasted just like I remembered, maybe even better. Everything works together, but that buffalo sauce is what pushes them to another level. These wings can compete with some of the best I've had in Illinois and around the country. I waited about two years to come back. After this visit, I don't think I'll be waiting another two. Wings: 9.115/10
