    6 weeks. 6 weeks is how long this establishment has been open. 6 weeks! And I happen to just bump into this restaurant on Instagram. So glad that I did! It's adorable. Truly adorable! Kim was our server and she was so kind. We had their flight of margaritas. They come in assorted flavors(frozen) From key lime pie, to coconut (my favorite), peach, watermelon, just to name a few. We started the meal with spicy cauliflower. YUMMERS! Crispy, spicy, deliciously packed with flavor! I chose for my entree a smash burger. The Charleston. Plenty of gooey cheese and grilled onions! I couldnt finish even half of it. I opted for a side salad instead of fries. My girlfriend had one of their variety of chicken sandwiches and she reports it was tasty and filling. She could only finish half of hers as well. The feel of this place is definitely seaside, nautical ish! We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful day. The drinks, the bites and the service were absolutely wonderful. If you have not stopped in, make plans to do so. Mokena is building up! Its literally right across the street from the Metra station! Salads, sandwiches, soups and starters for everyone to enjoy! Thank you Kim for answering all my questions and suggesting the coconut margarita! We will be back! They are open Tuesday-Sunday beginning at 11am:)

    We stopped by on Sunday around 5 pm on Labor Day weekend. We called ahead but they don't do reservations. They told me though that they only had a 5 minute wait which turned out to be true. We were seated and our waitress greeted us. The place is beautiful, the food was great, and the prices were not too bad. It does get very loud in there.we recommend trying it.

    BIG HUGE TURNOFF...ITS SOOOOOO LOUD IN HERE!!! We started off with a cup of the cream of chicken and rice soup: Absolutely FABULOUS!! I had the blackened grouper with asparagus and rice. It was wonderful! My husband had the honey glazed salmon and mashed potatoes and broccoli. He enjoyed his meal, too. If they can do something about the noise, it would be beneficial... Annnnnndd.. Eliminate the smoking right outside on the porch...because it comes right back into.thr restaurant from the garage doors being open...

    My grandson was very pleased chicken and hamburgers were great I had an angry pizza and loved it !!

    I think they are still working out the kinks in the business. Food was ok. Service could have been better.

    We have plenty of parking! Metra lot is across the street!

    Food: I order the cheese sticks. They were pretty good! Nothing special, but good for a snack! They…read moredid have specials for the Football Season and daily specials. 5/5 Service: I was the first one in the restaurant since I arrived when the restaurant was opening so the service was perfect! 5/5 Ambiance: I love the small space! It looked like there is a stage near the entrance so I believe they might have live music some days! The bathrooms were clean and the restaurant was orderly. They were working on decorating the restaurant for the holidays but that didn't bother me at all! 5/5 Overall: 15/15 ! The restaurant is a nice spot for sports but also for a nice date night!

    Drinks here definitely not the issue, but as far as service expect to be treated with a bad…read moreattitude by management. I attended a bingo night here where I organized a party for my aunt and it was just awful. This bar should not offer to host events as they clearly do not have the staffing or the space to do so. I was treated quite disrespectfully from start to finish simply for trying to set up a few small birthday decorations. And they're impossible to reach by phone in order to plan ahead for your group. Don't expect them to cater to any of your parties' needs or assign a dedicated server to your group. For the amount of money spent on this event and brought to their business I expected far better treatment. As for the bingo night, again awful coordination and execution. The place was jam packed and no one could hear the bingo caller. They have shitty speakers/microphone so don't bother trying to actually play bingo, you won't hear anything. Oh and they're 0% handicap friendly, don't expect them to accommodate anyone with mobility limitations. In summary, I would never host another event at this bar and I hope this review encourages others to look elsewhere. Completely disorganized and a pain to work with. Take your business elsewhere.
