It was okay, not sure I would go back considering the other choices available to me. Mike M.

Slow service/ not attentive Food quality and assortment not as good as previous visits

We went for the lawless brunch - it was amazingly fun! We had the famous and fabulous bloody Mary’s. Then headed over to the buffet which had a great selection but not too large that quality was missing. Everything was fresh and hot. The prime rib was done with succulent moist center and salty exterior crust. Potatoes were mashed or hash brown - heck it’s Brunch so both. Eggs Benedict or Omelets made to order just for you too. Enjoyed the buffalo mac and cheese!! Staff was super friendly and our server was also the bartender but was super attentive to our table as well as mixing mimosas. If you want a tasty brunch option that is priced right and not in hotel sett job with super food and great service - stop by and grab a Bloody Mary with a side car that was brewed there. Yum!!!

Relaxed environment with no pressure to vacate the table immediately after eating. Food variety supports most pallets and craft brew flights enhance the experience.

Like everywhere, service was light because of staffing shortage. It took a while for our first greeting and our drinks but overall not that bad. I got the Asian salad which was really tasty and good portion. My boys got burgers which they said were really good and kids got pizza & quesadilla which were ok, I did like the prices and fruit options for the sides. Overall, it was better than expected and I would go back for lunch or dinner.

Our server Nadia was great! Poor girl had 7 tables so it took her a bit to get back to us because she was busy, but we didn’t mind. We got the Idaho Nachos which were mediocre at best. The “Granite City” sauce was gross. Not worth the $1.99. Thank you Nadia for taking care of that. Oddly enough Chef Alonso (Alfonso), walked by and I asked him about the nachos. He admitted there wasn’t enough cheese and made us a fresh one which had more of everything! It was great. We asked for a side of BBQ sauce and it came out super hot like it had been under the heat lamp forever. It wasn’t good so we didn’t eat it. Overall, our visit wasn’t that great. No FOH manager came by to check on us after the dislike of the sauce and nachos, but they were too busy cutting servers and talking to the hosts. If it wasn’t for Nadia and Chef A, our experience would’ve tanked. Thank you both! You made our entire experience!

Our favorite eating place and good for Friday hangout

Friday evening early dinner. Our waitress was nice. Shrimp tacos has 2 small shrimps and a huge piece of avacado. Very disappointed for the price. Chicken sandwich was 3 chicken tenders with wing sauce poured over the top. BBQ flatbread was just ok. We won’t be back. Too many options for the same type of food around Woodfield.

Excellent food and service.

It was very slow hardly any people for a Sunday. We had three waitress's, it seemed like nobody knew what they were doing. The fries were cold when we got them. Had to ask for fresh ones. Had to keep asking for things and hardly came to table at all. Then it was a big confusion for the check because we had a discount. It took forever.
