    **Review for The Hidden Pearl Bar** If you're looking for a hidden gem in Thornton, IL, look no further than The Quarry Thornton. Bar! This place is the perfect blend of laid-back dive bar charm with a touch of upscale vibes that makes it stand out from the crowd. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor strikes a perfect balance between cozy and chic, with dim lighting, eclectic artwork, and comfortable seating that encourages you to settle in and unwind. What truly sets The Hidden Pearl apart, though, is the staff. Every member of the team is incredibly friendly and kind, making you feel like a valued guest from the moment you arrive . The drink menu is impressive, featuring a variety of craft cocktails, local brews, and classic favorites. The food is tasty and tons of specials! Check out the private speakeasy downstairs! So freaking cool!!!!! They also have party packages

    The Quarry burger - A burger with a beef patty, lettuce, tomato, and greens, served on a toasted bun, cut in half to reveal the ingredients. The plate also contains a portion of French fries. In the background, there are additional food items, including a pizza and nachos, on a table at a restaurant setting.

    Such a fun place! The atmosphere was great! The food was delicious. Our bartender was the sweetest! 10/10!!

Not one meal i had that i didn't like! And they have a basement for private events that is a nice old school look! Overall i would recommend this place 110%

    Amazing service from the bar tenders ... the owner is great . The atmosphere is so chill ...

    A musician is performing on stage at Quarry Ballroom, seated behind a drum set with a bass drum labeled 'Quarry Ballroom.' The stage features vibrant purple and blue lighting, with a backdrop of red curtains and musical decor, including guitars on the wall. The setting appears to be a live music venue with a cozy, decorated interior.

    It's a small place, but it's an excellent music venue! All ages! outside patio with bands on Sunday afternoons (summer). Food is great, staff is supper nice. A Speakeasy downstairs. The ascetic alone is worth the visit!

    My aunt took my mother and me to lunch. She has been raving about this place for months. My mom was…read moreconvinced that I wouldn't like it because you can't make substitutions and I have lots of food allergies. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich (pepper relish and garlic aioli on the side) with sweet potato fries. The fries made the meal. They give you a lot of chicken in the sandwich which makes it a bit hard to eat but the flavor is there. My aunt got the "not your mom's meatloaf" and my mother got a cup of gumbo and a salad. My aunt loved her meal, the gumbo was a little thick and we didn't love the taste. They also tried the apple cranberry cobbler tart. I didn't have any room for dessert and that's a first. There is an upstairs area with a patio that would be a great coworking space if they served coffee. Leo was our server and Sydney was the hostess. Both were delightful.

    The Good... THE…read moreEXTERIOR & INTERIOR is thoughtfully designed for a brewery-style restaurant. THE WINGS were hot, flavorful, and well-seasoned. * While $18 for eight wings is definitely on the expensive side, I was celebrating a birthday and genuinely enjoyed them. STREET TACOS are truly street-size--very small--but the flavor was excellent. SHRIMP PO' BOY deserves special mention: it's huge, generously packed with shrimp, and fried perfectly. The Bad... THE MEATLOAF entrée, served with mashed potatoes and collard greens, was a major disappointment. * The mashed potatoes were cold, and the greens were only lukewarm. * When we notified the server, she offered to have the entire meal replaced. However, what came back to the table was the same plate my wife tasted and found cold. The plate was simply reheated under a warmer. * Hot food should be refired, not reheated, for both quality and safety reasons and for the price! MANAGER RESOLUTION: Afterward, the manager explained that we "have to pay" for food that was incorrectly served by them! He was pleasant and worked to address the issue without incident, stating that the server was unaware of a recent policy updates. He acknowledged that the server misinformed us of what could be offered for the cold entree items According to the manager, their policy is to either: * Reheat the food under a warmer, or * Allow you to order a new entrée--but still require payment for the original dish that was sent back. The manager referenced a policy printed at the bottom of the menu, which reads: "Refunds are provided for preparation errors, preferences." * If hot food is not served hot, isn't that a preparation error? *If the server does not know the policy but offers me something, whose fault is that on managing my expectations? NOTE: If the kitchen messes up your food, you still have to pay for it at this place! Read the other negative reviews. This was NOT an isolated incident. My wife was understandably disappointed and simply wanted to order a different entrée. The manager initially said the policy did not allow that, though he eventually agreed to refire the entire entrée rather than reheating it a second time. He emphasized that the policy was above his level of authority. Once the issue was escalated to management, our server did not return to the table again until we specifically asked the manager about her absence. Considering this was my daughter's birthday lunch, the experience was frustrating and disappointing, especially given how strong the food started out. Welp...I won't be back here. I really tried to support one of our businesses.

The parking lot was actually full so we had to park on the side. They had security at the door to search you before entering. It's actually a pretty large open space, with seating, slot machines, a pool table, and a dance floor. The DJ was high energy and played to the crowd. There were actually quite a few menu options and we went with the fried cauliflower bites and chicken wings and shrimp. The food was ok. It looked good - but wasn't seasoned. Overall, not a bad spot to try if you're in the area.

The bar stools we were told were recently changed-the old ones were worse- and they can use another improvement. They are still too short for the bar if you eat there. Your elbows are up to your shoulders when eating, do yourself a favor and go to a table. Other than that, the inside was nice and the music was good. The sign is off to the side so keep going past the Subway and you will find it. There was also the dreaded liquor meter. Some nights I think there is a cover. We ordered the catfish and chicken wing basket that came with fries. The fries were good and crispy. The chicken was good and was seasoned. I was not a fan of the coating but it was okay. The fish I did not get into much as the coating was not for me. They did offer sauces on the side or on the food and that was good. My friend had the garlic parmesan which he liked, i had the buffalo hot sauce.
