“Worth the wait and must try! Beautiful and unique venue in the unassuming town of Des Plaines. Our server was kind and welcoming, food was delicious, drinks were fun and tasty. The only two items that were less than ideal, the horrible acoustics (incredibly loud) and although it was too on my list to try, the chicken shawarma rolls were underwhelming. Even with those two items, the great service and food quality it's still worth the 5 star review. We sat upstairs, which very much appreciated, being out of the hustle and bustle of the downstairs. Looking forward to trying the brunch and the outside patio... overlooking the water.“

“It was one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. Everything we ate was seasoned perfectly, and the sausage and bacon were delicious. They have huge breakfast sausage links that are incredible. The hash browns and pancakes were served in small portions. Wish they were served with larger portions on the plate. Service was on point, fast and different people kept checking on us. I'm definitely coming back.“

“This place has special fish Fry during lent. This is a cute irsh brunch spot normally. They had a lot of st paddy's day themed things but I passed. The good. Coffee with actual cream not the pre package junk. Great coffee service as well though it would be nice to add this to the waiting area. The staff was great aaa all the way. The omelets was good, fairly fluffy and a good balance of fillings. The average The pancakes were good not great. I may try some specialty cakes next time. The bad Well good place equals wait time on the weekend. Not sure if that was real maple syrup, if it was it was not the best. The side of potatoes while generous, had little to no flavor. Had to salt and pepper the heck out of them, and just left them in the end.“

“Their gentleman’s spud was fantastic. A coating of crunchy shredded hash browns covers the omelet, giving it a distinctive look. The omelet has freshly cut onions, green peppers, and mushrooms along with well-seasoned steak. There is flavorful, gooey cheese in every bite because the cheese is well distributed.“

A fun late 40s-50s look. Bar prices are great, you'll never see this prices at a night club or the local sports bar.Do yourself a favor and visit. You maybe the only ones their untill you start sharing ?.“

“Got seated immediately which was nice. Waitress was nice also. Ordered the Parmesan Chicken & 1/2 slab ribs with sauce on the side and the loaded sweet potato and Caesar salad. I would recommend ordering the ribs with sauce on the meat instead of on the side. Food arrived promptly, was warm and tasty as it should be. Parmesan chicken was good however I do enjoy the Parmesan encrusted chicken at Cheesecake factory more. Ribs were fall off the bone and tasty. Sweet potato was more like a delicious dessert than a potato as it was covered with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. What could be bad? Overall it was a delicious meal and I would recommend that you give them a try. You won't be sorry. Enjoy!“

“Every bar has a gimmick. Nowadays a lot of them getting too gimmicky. Not this place no gimmick. Hard to find in Chicago.Tried to drink all of their $4 tall boy PBR. The chicken quesadilla, how I got me and my coworker home. If I wasn’t in town on business I would’ve drank all their $4 tall boy PBR.In all seriousness, was told they were under new management. Obviously it’s working. Staff was entertaining, locals were non stop entertainment, food was crème de la crème of bar food.“

“A great BIG Thank you to the staff at Club Casa. We had a funeral luncheon for my Mom there on 3/4/24. This was my second function upstairs in the banquet hall and this place never disappoints. It was obviously a difficult time for our family and booking the party with Olga and Kyle was so easy. On the day of the luncheon, the servers Dylan and Natalie and the bartender Don never missed a beat. They were friendly, there if anyone needed anything and always professional.Thank you again,The family of Delia Spizzirri“

“Evan's was our first order using GrubHub+ and it went well.I ordered the Greek chicken and it was very good. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Best Greek chicken I've had in a long time. Fries were plentiful and crispy. Coleslaw was good but way too much mayo.She loved her chicken souvlaki plate. I was hoping for a taste but it disappeared before I could get a bite.She didn't really care for the baklava cheesecake but I really enjoyed it. Nice combination of two great deserts, especially when you bite into the flaky phyllo dough.Prices aren't bad. I can't speak for the atmosphere or staff, but I will be checking them out in the future.Thumbs up for the GrubHub driver though. We tried Evan's again and she stuck with the chicken souvlaki. I tried the pork version and it was even better than the Greek chicken.“

“Food was very good. I had the lemon chicken as a take-out order. I ordered by phone and it was ready in ten minutes. The new owner, Jimmy's son, is getting acquainted with the menu so wasn't super helpful with my questions but that's to be expected. He also wasn't as readily available as his dad was when I arrived but that too may come in time. I hope the family keeps it open as it's a staple in Des Plaines. Rest in peace Jimmy.“

Their outdoor patio (during warmer months) is also pet friendly! That's a huge plus because there's not a lot of establishments that allow pets. If you haven't already, definitely check this place out!“
