    I had the Al pastor tacos here, they were super tasty. I would get them again. They come with chips and salsa but I appreciate that they let you order a small side of queso if you want. That made it the perfect meal for me! To drink I enjoyed their strawberry mule which was made perfectly. I also had a sip of my friend's frozen lavender lemonade. It was delicious and surprisingly not overly sweet or syrupy. My son enjoyed his cheese pizza kids meal which was a great size for many ages. We had tons of leftovers since he is only 4. I will definitely be back!

    Philly cheese steak

    Food awful, pressed meat, poor boy dry to the bone, forgot mayo on it. Waitress took our order and we never saw her again. Friend had Philly cheese steak sandwich dry !

    The food is just freezer food that gets dressed up pretty. Not worth the price tag. Good live music and cute bar. The staff is really NOT accommodating at all. Bartender snapped at me for buying a drink from him not my waitress. Then my waitress took OVER 20 mins to get a diet coke when it was not very busy. I decided to not get entree since I got checked on twice in one hour and the appetizers were just not good. Just decided to not waste my money on entrees.

    New Year's Eve party at Uptown

    My husband and I spent NYE evening at Uptown and we had a blast! Great food and drinks, friendly service, fun music, and they added a complimentary Photo Booth. Uptown is conveniently located in downtown Plainfield, and it's one of those easy, familiar places for a quick bite to eat or for meeting up with local friends. I highly recommend!

    Fish tacos.. they're good.  Get 'em.

When my friend was going through one of the hardest battles of their life with cancer, this incredible team stepped up without hesitation and donated food to help during such a difficult time. Their kindness went far beyond a meal -- it brought comfort, relief, and a reminder that compassion still exists. In a world where small acts of generosity can mean everything, what they did will never be forgotten. Not only is the food amazing, but the people behind this restaurant have hearts just as incredible as their menu. Supporting businesses like this matters. Thank you for treating my friend with dignity, care, and kindness when they needed it most. We are forever grateful.

I got angel hair with Alfredo sauce and shrimp, which was very good. My wife got linguine, Del Mare with Alfredo sauce, which also was very good. The cavatelli with vodka and tomato sauce with crumble sausage was excellent. We also tried the Alla piccata with chicken, which was also excellent. We got a piece of tiramisu for dessert which also was very good. It was pretty busy there and the service was pretty good sorry about the pictures. I forgot to get pictures of some of the dishes and the ones I do have we already started eating lol I would definitely return here.

Getting a couple spots to sit was also easy. Getting and keeping anyone's attention was not as easy. It was a busy-ish Trivia Tuesday and they seemed to be well staffed but both people behind the bar that we tried to make contact with breezed past us a lot. Despite that, we did eventually try the $5 margaritas which packed a nice punch. We also went with a pepperoni wrapped and deep fried cheese stick. Clearly not a premade product from somewhere else...the sauce was great while the cheese stick lacked pepperoni flavor even though we clearly saw some in there. It was more boring flavor wise than expected but a really great concept! Our Foo pizza was ordered without the cilantro but also arrived without the jalapeños. Again, another great concept but this one lacked on the execution side of things. Not enough BBQ sauce at all (I'm not a huge sauce girl, but this was way too light), soooo many fried onion strings clumped together (and I love fried onions...soooo), missing the spicy component in error.... But the crust was great and cooked nicely, the pulled pork was delicious when you found a bite, the bacon cooked perfectly and the pineapple portion was good. Why four stars instead of three? Clearly they're using quality ingredients. This is huge to me! Restaurant felt, looked and smelled clean. Conceptually they've got some awesome menu items that make me want to come back and we already mentioned to friends of ours. And the drinks were solid. We will take a different approach next time and hopefully add this one to the rotation.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out apps were 25% off- which meant we had to try the pretzel. I think it may have been the biggest pretzel I've ever seen in my life. The outside was a melt-in-your-mouth fried texture with the inside being soft and doughy in the best way. Paired with any of the 3 dips, it made for the most delicious appetizer that essentially filled up our entire table itself. Special shoutout to the arse sauce & their honey mustard- sooo good. The table also tried the buffalo chicken wrap (YUM), caprese sandwich (good!), and penne alla vodka (somewhat mid but better as leftovers). Sweet potato tots were the perfect side. This was my third time here and they honestly never disappoint. Service & food always hit. My go to spot when visiting Plainfield!

Luckily, this visit was much better We arrived right after they opened on Saturday afternoon. The location was easy to find and there was a decent amount of parking. For lunch, we shared the 1.5lb pretzel which was more than enough for our group of 5 1/2 people. As for my burger, I got their Blue Cheeseburger. Overall, it was a decent burger. Good flavor, cooked a nice medium rare which I wanted. Our waitress was nice and friendly and the price was reasonable for 2 adults and 1 kid

Came in on a busy Saturday night after attending another event in the area. The bar was hopping and we snagged the last 2 available seats. At first, it appeared they had 4 bartenders, a manager, and a barback behind the bar. However, other than the barback consistently washing/unloading dishes I am not sure what was going on with the service. Manager was not providing any assistance to his staff. However, he was filling his own water bottle. Other staff were taking selfies with guests. It took awhile to order a second round as well as pay our tab. This was a one and done visit for me.
