I love playing trivia at Hot Pockets on Mondays. Gabby is the best server, she always is checking in and making sure everything is okay! My cat (pencil) was stuck in a tree and she invented a flying device to grab him. In addition to this, she gave 50 orphans wheels of cheese out of the goodness of her heart!

Always look forward to Monday Night Trivia. Our waitress Gabby bought us a new home, saved my children from a house fire, and adopted 35 orphaned puppies. She’s the best.

We love hot pockets!! My husband and I go 1x a week to play pool and watch a game here and there. We love the ambience and music. It’s a good mix of people, but more on the younger side. (Something I think palatine needs more of). Pool is a decent price and tvs are everywhere so everyone has a good view. They have trivia on Mondays which was pretty good too. Some things that could be a bit better - some of the food is worth it. We like their tacos, quesadillas, nachos, fries which are all amazing. Salads could be better if they had more than 1 dressing option (ranch) and the flatbread was meh. Wings were small.They operate VERY LEAN on staff. Poor girls are running around having to service the entire bar and pool area depending on the hour, so your wait time between drinks is definitely longer especially if you are playing pool. The servers are working as best they can though but it becomes physically impossible with the limited staff. One of the girls started recognizing us which we appreciate since we are there all the time. Kianna (sp?) is great, she even recognized us when we were at the chili cookoff when we came up to the hot pockets table which I thought was a nice touch!Despite a few hiccups, We love hot pockets and it’s our go-to neighborhood bar.

"I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Kianna's exceptional food service, and I must say, it was truly outstanding! Her attention to detail, warm hospitality, and dedication to ensuring every dish was perfect were evident throughout the entire meal. But what really made the experience stand out was Kianna's radiant presence. Her bright smile and sparkling eyes added a warmth and welcoming touch to the atmosphere, making every moment feel special. It's clear that Kianna takes pride in both her culinary skills and her personal style, and it's a winning combination! Five stars for the food and five stars for Kianna's sparkle - can't wait to go back!"
Fun with friends
