25 Best Bar & Grill near Barrington

“As always our meal was great and the service exemplary. Thomas was our waiter and he is great at explaining the specials and helping us choose the perfect wine. My only complaint about Region is that is is not bigger and thus hard to get into for a spontaneous meal.“

“Fun tiki like atmosphere inside, but you don’t really get good views of the water from inside restaurant. I got the bbq bacon burger and it was great! The fries were a seasoned kind, they were good but not my fave. The mister got the all you eat fish fry. They bring out two fried cod pieces at a time. The beer battered fish was great and so was tartar sauce, especially the spicy one was fantastic! Only complaint is we waited awhile for another serving of fish - but when it came out it was hot and fresh! We asked for side of blue cheese and some hot sauce - be aware they charge you for 75 cent for every sauce without letting you know.“

“Great service. I love their fish fry and I'm a big fan of the potato pancakes.“

“Stopped in quick for some pizza and to watch the game. Staff was friendly and helpful. Loved their tater tots. Pizza wasn't our style, but hit the spot after a long drive. Great place to watch the game.Parking: Lot is pretty small and a little difficult to get in and out of, but there was parking available.“

“I haven’t been here in 35 yrs! Stopped for lunch before doctor appointment. Nothings changed! It’s all still delicious and service is great! I sat at the bar where Viktor cooked me a beautiful cheeseburger! I’m so happy I stopped! Lots of fun memories there from back in the day!“

“Well, been passing by this place forever and this time we decided to stop in. Very sparse parking so we asked where to park and immediately the female bartender came outside and pointed to a few locations. She must have been an owner because it is rare and doubtful an employee would be so accommodating. Moving on..... We were seated, by the very nice and conscientious female bartender. She asked for our drink order and gave us menus........ So far so good......The food..... Corn Beef and Cabbage Dinner-Outstanding Monster Burger-Incredible Ruben-Great Patty Melt- Delicious Absolutely excellent all around. Not a single negative comment from anyone in our party. Oh, yeah! There was a gentleman talking to some people at the bar and was showing the coolest DUCK model to his friends. Said his buddy made them and was selling them for $5. My buddy immediately jumped up and bought it and asked for another one. Well the gentleman left the bar. Damn... no duck for me....... Hold on...... He returned with another duck in hand. I snapped it up and thanked him. That doesn't happen nowadays. How cool is that. The entire experience of that bar/grille was that of a typical Chicago old neighborhood tavern. Great people. Great food. special nod to the female bartender. Awesome lady who "gets it." We'll be back.....again and again.“

“All Inn is a must try! This hidden gem has the most attentive and welcoming staff. The pork tenderloin and homemade chips are delicious. The Bloody Mary and burger were very good too. The bar area is large and there are tables for all size parties. We will definitely be back.“

“This place is awesome as staff and customers are very friendly and food is always good. If you want something light the vegetable soup is great and comes with a warm dinner roll. Bar service is great and there are daily food and drink specials. Pizza is also excellent!!!“

“The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing will be back for sure. I met the owner super cool guy and the bartender remembered my name! They are starting to have more music events which I'm very excited about.“

“Throw away your low expectations of "Bar Food" because this place has the BEST Food! Creative ideas that really pay off. Add in the fun bar activities like Karaoke and of course bowling and you have a great evening out. Bar Down and Popular Creek Bowl provides an exceptional and memorable night out. It's a place where you can enjoy top-notch bowling, belt out your favorite tunes during karaoke, and indulge in gourmet-quality food and drinks. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I'll definitely be returning for another night of fun at this amazing establishment.“

“This was my first visit, and it was fantastic! The bar staff was super personable and attentive, and the karaoke was really fun! The owner even took time to chat with me for a few minutes. River Street will definitely be a regular destination for me!“

“Very nice decor and the food is very tasty with lots of flavorings. Def recommend for those who want a good quality meal without the hassle. Staff is very nice and make sure you are enjoying your meal. Go try it out!“

“I had a chance to swing in last week and it's a nice, comfortable setting. The food was excellent if you are interested in Austrian/German bites. The people working here were super nice compared to similar tyes of places in the area. They even had a 50% off beer special going on! I will be returning for sure.“

“Possibly the most reasonably priced and chill sports bar on the east side of Rockford. Music isn’t too loud, staff is friendly, it’s not dead but it’s not too crowded. If for some reason you find yourself trapped on the east side of town, this is the place to go when you’re looking for a normal, non-pretentious atmosphere.“

“First time random choice visiting the area from Chicago. Obviously very popular (the best sign) with the locals and the food (and price) was great! So was service from busser to server to manager who checked in with us. Perfect casual spot!“

“Stopped in with a friend for dinner randomly a couple of weeks ago and the server Angela F was amazing & I just wanted to show my appreciation for the wonderful service. Its been a while since I've experienced the type of service you remember weeks later and she definitely deserves the mention. This was my first time at this location and will definitely be back because of her. The food was great as well - the Jack Daniels barbeque sauce was to die for.“

“My 1st time here, I did enjoy the atmosphere, but the food was average. I was surprised that I couldn't request how I wanted my beef cooked. I always want it well done, but my server said that all meat has to be cooked medium, so I took a chance at it. I saw too much pink, and had to pick through my patty melt. Was disappointed, but the seasoned fries were very good! The Kenosha curds were good, but over fried. They seemed like they're not battered in house, but pre frozen. So I won't order those again. Our server was not very friendly, just average. I did like my razzmatazz margarita, but had too much h ice in it. I definitely enjoyed the Live Band that was performing!“
