However I came in recently and was informed that these changes were not by choice but because the previous owner did not play nice.

Hi neighbors. My wife and I had dinner at Elgin Public House downtown on Friday, October 23, and…read morepaid part of the bill with their $50 Groupon. I wanted to share what happened so nobody else gets surprised. The service was cold and rude from the moment we sat down. Not sure where their hostility was coming from. I still tried to enjoy myself since this was literally my birthday dinner. When I presented the Groupon, the server kept telling me there was a restriction "in the terms somewhere," even though the $50 voucher has none. It literally says you can use it any day. They eventually accepted it. Our card was run before we could review the check. Afterward, we found a $13.38 charge labeled "8+ Gratuity (20%)" on a receipt that says "Guest Count: 2." Staff told us the owner requires 20% gratuity on all Groupon orders. That isn't mentioned anywhere in the Groupon terms or on the menu. I'm happy to tip, and I want it to be my choice. Retaliatory or deceptive business practices are not cool.

First time at Chicago Street Pour in Elgin, and I ordered to go…read more The painted words outside on the glass advertising the chicken pita is actually what made me stop in, but when I ordered it, the bartender said they don't offer it and it wasn't on the menu either. I ended up ordering the $9 lunch specials: a cheeseburger with scoop fries and chicken fingers. My husband said the cheeseburger was okay, and the customer service was friendly. One thing to note: the other lunch specials come with scoop fries, but the chicken fingers do not, they only come with dipping sauces. So I ordered an extra side of fries. The fries were actually good, but unfortunately, the chicken fingers were not. They were very, very greasy and not crunchy at all. Maybe the cooking oil wasn't hot enough, or the frying technique was off. I ended up removing all the beer batter breading, ate two of them, and tossed the rest. Overall, friendly service, but the food was just okay for our first visit. I'd probably try something different IF I return.

Short answer: Yes! Would recommend!…read more Long answer: Came to celebrate 2 birthdays and was sat at "the chefs table" which is a high-top table right in front of the kitchen. It was just too hot sitting there and also noisy from the kitchen and orders being called out, etc. Asked (I think) the manager, Amanda, if there's any way we can move to another table cause we are just sweating and wouldn't be able to survive through dinner, haha! We also had our 83 year old grandma there so we were even more concerned for her well being. Amanda was accomadating with offering us a different table as long as we could finish in 90 minutes. I told her I'll take it! She felt bad for the time limit also, but I told her I appreciate her accommodation even more. The food and drinks turned out great and the service was superb along with a unique ambiance! Definitely recommend!

It's definitely diner style vibes with a lunch counter and decor. Felt very bright and homey. Now for the food - the grilled chicken sandwich was SOOOOOO good! The chicken was juicy and flavorful. One of my favs I've had at a restaurant, honestly. Combined with the mushrooms avocado and melted cheese - it was amazing. My BF got the Willy's skillet and I tried a couple bites and it was definitely good. Fluffy eggs, perfect temp - loved it. The pancakes were fluffy and not too greasy (as some can be when cooked on a flat top with all the other things). The prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity. We will definitely come back!

In the past we have tried burgers and the crab cake sliders which are favorites, but today we took it easy with a couple of cocktails and some candied bacon. He ordered the Stag Sour which is similar to a blackberry sour but with fresh blackberry puree which elevates the drink and mellows the whisky taste. I ordered the Bloody Mary with the RST skewer- amazing! Pro tip: you can order the skewer for $1.50 which would be a nice addition to any beer too! The candied bacon is peppery thick cut bacon slices with a sticky sweet glaze that is a perfect snack. And you can't beat the price at $7 for four of these big slices! Service was quick, the atmosphere seems busy but is quite chill, and we loved that they had sport on the tv to go with our drinks. This place is reliably great and so conveniently located so you are still in the Dundee atmosphere without feeling like you are in the middle of the "party zone". They have daily specials and we are looking forward to coming in on Wednesday for a $5 wine bottle with two entree purchase soon!

Family friendly too with offerings for kids. The place gets pretty busy weekends as there's events and live music. A surprisingly nice looking bar considering it's also pretty casual. It's clean and looks kept up pretty well to be honest. There's the main area with the bar, lots of tables, along with another room with more tables. Has lots of drink specials to look at. It's about $10 for some of the fancier cocktails, the ones that take a little more effort to put together. Best one of these we had was the Black Cherry Mule. This has black cherry vodka, good stuff. It's about $11 for appetizers. We got the Pretzel Bites, which are good for sharing. Entrees here are pretty meaty. There's burgers, fish, and that kind of stuff. For sure we could come here again. It's located on Galligan at Higgins. They have live music and other fun things.
