So if I order a cocktail “neat” with rocks on the side I am sure he would charge again for the rocks. Better yet….just include the $2 rocks charge in the drink itself ….don’t put a separate $2 charge for ICE!

Service was excellent! Great prices on good booze and very tasty food, definitely will be returning. Also, only $2 upcharge for the extra .5oz of liquor in my drink that was on the rocks?! What a steal!

The service and drinks are the best in town! They have a large selection of bourbons, amazing food, and a great view of the golf course and parts of Elgin. Definitely recommend

On the rocks is 2 ounces of booze, a regular cocktail is 1.5 ounces. Hence, the reason why bars charge more for on the rocks.

Food was very good and service was good. Problem is the so called manager who has quite an attitude. FYI….if you order a cocktail on the rocks be prepared to pay extra for the rocks even after spending $290 for beer and sandwiches. He said every place charges for rocks (ice) if you order it that way. I bartended and this is news to me. We got into it and argued. He should learn how to be a manager and calmly explain instrsd of having an attitude. He banned me from the restaurant (haha) but I will return and order a cocktail neat with rocks on the side and see how he handles that. The guy should go to a class to learn how to treat customers

I was excited when a family member suggested this restaurant for Mothers Day.. I took a few moments before arriving to look over the menu and familiarize myself. Upon arrival we were instructed to help ourselves at the buffet. No offer to order off the menu, and the buffet had a set price.The quality of the food was average for a buffet. I may have to try again, but I won't be in a hurry..

Hidden inside the clubhouse located at the Elgin Sports Complex. Very unique,and limited food menu. Slightly higher because it's located at a golf course. Plenty of alcoholic beverages.

Food was prepared very well. Good portions. Only thing is best to get beer or wine. Cocktails wern't so great. But good friendly service

I am glad it's open again, I wanted to try it before but the Cajun menu was not my cup of tea so I walked in and walked out after seeing there was nothing on the menu that I could eat. Anyways now it has regular food and great menu! The chicken quesadilla was stuffed really good unlike other places where they cheap out on the chicken and cheese. The pork chop was yummy and the crab cakes too. I want to return to try the buffalo flat bread and their wings. Great friendly service.

The food was very good and the staff pleasant and helpful. My first time back under the new management. I will return.
