Mecca of booze…read more.. Prices are about same as any other liquor store, but they have a HUGE wine selection. Not only other countries & states, but many of the IL wine makers are featured here as well. They offer wine tastings on Saturday afternoon (call to confirm time) and are very generous with tasting (wink, wink). I also like the mix-N-match feature for beer. They offer many, many different beers that I would normally never try if I had to buy 6 at a time. But with the mix-N-match pack I can try 6 different beers to see if I like them. Love it! Friar Tuck's has a wide selection of all liquors too. So if you can't find what you're looking for somewhere else, give Friar Tuck's a try. And if you're considering making beer or wine at home, they carry all the materials you'll need to get you started too.

We ordered drinks and two special appetizers, shrimp in a spicy cream sauce and pork belly bits with diced mango. Both were delicious. For our mains, we chose: Sassy Chicken Thighs and Brown Sugar Brined Pork Chop. The chicken thighs melted in my mouth. We spoke at length with the manager after our dinner and tried to guess the ingredients in the outstanding sauces. The sassy sauce had in addition to the honey and Dijon, some cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Not too spicy, just enough zip to make it interesting. The pork chop was also amazing. Tender and juicy with a cherry balsamic glaze. We would definitely recommend a visit and plan to return the next time we're in town.

The menu was several pages but only one page with food, drinks were the remainder. We got the dipper appetizer and I had the Sassy Chicken Thighs. Both were good and the thigh was boneless. My wife had the loaded potato salad, asparagus, and broccoli which she enjoyed. My son had the Steak Sliders with the potato salad which he really enjoyed. I suppose when the chef can master a menu there's no need for multiple pages. I misjudged and would definitely come back if I'm in town again.

We decided to sit outside on the patio, because it was a beautiful evening. We started with drinks and the cheese bread with marinara for the appetizer. We later placed a food order and decided to try a variety of things since it was our first time. We ordered pepperoni rolls, a thin crust create your own pizza with pepperoni, onion, and bell peppers, and a hand tossed Italian beef pizza. After a significant amount of time the waitress returned to check on us and let us know the pizzas would be out soon, so we asked her about the appetizer. She admitted that she forgot to put it in. She asked if we still wanted it, which we did, and so she said it would be 8 minutes in the oven. The food all came out within the next 10 minutes or so (minus the appetizer), and we dove in. It was all very good and we were happy with the options we chose. The waitress returned once we were finished eating and we asked for boxes and the check. The appetizer still hadn't came out. She apologized again and asked if we just wanted it boxed up to go, to which we said yes. Several minutes later a manager showed up and told us again, that there was a miscommunication and the appetizer was never made and yet to be placed in the oven. At this point, we asked it to be canceled and just asked for boxes and the check. Things happen, and the way they responded to the mistake is the reason I am still giving them 4 stars. They reduced our bill significantly and offered us a coupon for a free pizza on the next visit as a way to make things right. The waitress was great and the manager was very professional. We will give them another try next time we are in town.

We went on a Friday afternoon, and there were people in there, but still quiet, which was nice. We sat at the bar, and our server was helpful and checked us without being overbearing. The menu selection is great - not too small, not too big. Wines from different US locations, but also France, Italy, etc., so a nice option for everyone. They also had a board with special limited releases. We each had our own glass of wine and shared a third to try 3 different wines. Their prices are super reasonable, and they have quality selections. We also ordered some cheese to snack on. Delicious charcuterie options, as well as some other items like The Rock's hummus - yum! This is such a gem for the area. You can also take items home and shop from their storefront. Nice staff and a thoughtful menu. We will be back next time we are in town!

So we called on Tuesday, May 25th to order (nothing special, something they usually carry in kegs) and were told they couldn't take an order that far in advance; call next week. So we called today at 12:13pm and was rudely told he was busy and to call back later. Twenty minutes later we called again and were told they couldn't get us a keg for Thursday bc their stock was completely out due to Memorial Day weekend. Seriously? We tried to put in an order well in advance so you could have all the notice you needed to order enough stock and you shut us down every step of the way. RUDLEY. Now we're two days out, left high and dry by a business we've tried to support. DISAPPOINTED! DO BETTER.

The liquor store of choice for this functioning alcoholic. Ok, that may be an exaggeration, I…read moredon't exactly function, but the fact remains that Budget Liquors is a fantastic store. Their selection of microbrews and imports is amazing, it's probably the only place I've ever seen Schafly's and Great Lakes in the same store. I absolutely love it. The selection of spirits isn't quite up to "Binny's" level proportions, but it is good. You can't stay mad at a liquor store that stocked Mt. Gay Rum. Now the staff, that's something else. The staff is great, being a regular, they know me, and often create an atmosphere akin to "Cheers," except they don't witness my egregious sins fueled by alcohol, they just witness the purchase, even at 12:45am on a June Sunday. That's good hours. It may not be a superstore like Binny's up north, but it's close, local, well stocked and the prices are pretty decent. My advice: get drinks from these folks.
