When you live in the southwest burbs of Chicago and you have a free Saturday with nothing to do,…read moreyou grab a friend saddle up and drive 1 hour and 45 minutes to the Boars Nest just outside of Darien WI. There are multiple ways to get there however I opted to take highways as much as possible, turns out that was a mistake as a overpass was blocked off and under construction but we where undetoured we had to drive around 10 miles out of our way and our persistence paid off. When we saw a replica general less sitting atop the roof we had a pretty good Idea that we had meet our destination. Walking in the front door you see a typical county pub but with a massive horse shaped bar in which all of the patrons where gathered around during the lunch hours, the reswt of the bar was strictly dukes of Hazzard themed with autographed picture of the cast on the wallthe menu was on the wall very large and in your face upon entry I browsed it thoroughly looking for their signature dish which in this case was The Boss Hog Burger 1/2 pound precooked ground beef topped off with onions bacon and ham served on a hoagie bun.... this was gonna hurt! My friend James just ordered a casual burger with fries not to be out done I added fries to my order. The drink selection was pretty good for rural bar about 5 domestic beers on tap and large selection on bottle, when our burgers where brought out there where gasps, at the bar "what the hell is that" "holy shit who ordered that" and my friend says I will be impressed if you even come close to finishing that. I accept his challenge and the game is on! 20 gut busting minutes later I have one of the best burger I have ever eaten destroyed on a few stands of onion and a couple of fries remain, I am victorious! a few patrons nod in acceptance of my accomplishment I ask for some extra napkins and promptly excuse my self to the restroom (no I did not Puke) it took a lot of beer to wash that greasy mess down and I really had to go! not to mention my hands where so greasy I could barely hold my beer! The total bill for our massive meal was $34.00 that included 5 beers and my $10.00 monstrosity of a burger. a fair deal, we walked out the door bloated messes, I serously thought about eating vegan recipes from here on out but it was so worth it, neither of us ate the rest of the day, the next time I return I will be getting something smaller I have my eye set on there garbage pita.

I came in with a friend for lunch this past week, and I was excited to see a chicken parmesan sandwich on the menu that I could get with grilled chicken instead of crispy chicken. I thought the sandwich and fries were great! Just a note about the marinara sauce: it is chunky, so if that's something you're not a fan of, I'd recommend trying a different item.

Afternoon Tea on Wednesday. Although we were the only…read morepatrons, we were placed at a small table for two rather than a more spacious table for four. The tray for the afternoon tea was so sparsely furnished with little food. The bottom tier contained one ham croissant cut in half and two small avocado toast. The middle tier was a 4 macaroons and two small dried out scones. The top tier was three one ounce glass dishes with sauces in them, maybe 1 tablespoon per dish. The tea itself was a pot of unfiltered water that tasted like well water. Overall, after paying with tip and tax $100 for two- it was outrageously overpriced, and under provided for. We traveled from Chicago for this and expected some pastries, fruit, and more finger sandwiches. Very disappointing. Oh, and I forgot to mention, Housekeeping was running a leaf blower to clean the carpets outside the guest rooms that were adjacent to the patio.

It looks like a gorgeous farm home on the outside with ample parking and the inside is stunning with brick, metal, and wood accents as well as a beautiful stained glass door. The waitress was efficient and knew the menu well. We ordered a burger with no bun to make it gluten free and a pepperoni pizza. The absolute star of the show was the amazing duck fat fries with homemade ranch. The burger was excellent as well. Will definitely come back with our little guy so he can experience the best fries around.

Let me start by saying the evening began beautifully. My family of seven and I walked right in to a…read morecozy, warmly lit atmosphere that immediately made me feel like we were in for a lovely dinner. The ambiance was giving classy, the lighting was giving romance, and I was ready to EAT. Our server was genuinely sweet, and I want to make that clear because she really did have a lovely personality. However, the attentiveness was a little inconsistent. She would take our drink orders, then we'd wait around 15 minutes before she came back to ask about appetizers. Baby, why are we ordering in separate episodes? We could've ordered our drinks and appetizers together and saved everybody some time! There were moments when she'd chat with her friends instead of checking whether our table needed anything else. I understand wanting to socialize, but when you've got seven hungry people at your table, a little more attention would go a long way. Now, let's get to the MAIN EVENT: the steak. I ordered the striploin, which happened to be the most expensive item on the menu. And honey... that steak was TOUGH. I'm talking jaw workout, chew-until-next-Tuesday tough. I genuinely struggled to eat it, and unfortunately, the rest of my family had similar experiences with their steaks. Listen, I don't expect every meal to change my life, and I'm certainly not demanding a discount just because something wasn't perfect. But when I'm paying premium prices for steak, I expect to be able to actually ENJOY eating it. If my jaw is working harder than I am, we have a problem! It's such a shame because the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, and our server was a sweetheart despite the inconsistencies in service. There was potential here for a wonderful family dinner, but the quality of the main course simply didn't meet my expectations. Unfortunately, the steaks were the dealbreaker for me. A beautiful restaurant can set the mood, and a friendly server can make you feel welcome, but neither can rescue a steak that feels like it's been training for a bodybuilding competition. For the price point, I expected much better. Two stars from me, and I truly hope the kitchen takes another look at how those steaks are being prepared.

We had drinks at the bar while waiting for a table, and the bartenders were kind, helpful, and made delicious cocktails. We closed out our tab at the bar before being seated on the front patio. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. We knew what we wanted to order right away, but after our order was taken and waters were brought out, our server essentially never returned to our table. We initially received only two of the three meals we ordered and eventually had to go inside to ask about the third. No one came by to check on our meals, refill our waters, or ask if we wanted additional drinks or dessert. We had planned to order wine and cocktails with dinner, but never had the opportunity because our server did not return. By the time we were waiting for the third meal, our waters were empty, and after we had all finished eating, we sat for quite some time before eventually having to go back inside to ask someone for boxes and the check. What was most disappointing was that there was no acknowledgment or apology for the lack of service. Instead, a staff member joked, "You should get a job here," referring to how we had stacked our own plates while waiting for someone to return to the table. The food remains excellent, and the bartenders were wonderful, which makes the experience even more disappointing. This used to be a place we looked forward to going, but the level of service has unfortunately declined significantly.
