“The stuffed pizza was very good! The thin crust, IMO, was just good. The service was very good, and the restaurant atmosphere was very good - clean, bright, modern, friendly. A fun and cheerful place to eat with friends and family!Vegetarian options: You can definitely order pizza without meat. There are salads and other options that can be ordered without meat, I believe.Parking: This is located in the Arboretum shopping area so there's plenty of parking.“

“It’s a pretty neat place to come and stop by for some food and a drink. They had the fire pit going on outside this winter and thought that was cool. Staff there seemed really friendly as well. Lots of people come here from the wedding venue up the street.“

“Finally got to check out Schnell's Brauhaus the evening of Sunday 4/14, for the first time ever! Was in the mood for German food after having some fantastic German food at Kegel's Inn up in West Allis, WI this past Friday night 4/12 before the Luke Combs concert at American Family Field! My friend that recommended Kegel's also recommended Schnell's since she herself is German and grew up having her German grandma's amazing cooking from The Fatherland! Anyway, I ordered $125 of take-out from Schnell's this past evening and left a tip of over 30%! In brief, all the food tasted great (fresh, flavorful, and in large portions)! My order was accurate and ready for pick up in 20 minutes! For appetizers, I ordered the Brat Bite Basket, Curry Wurst with Fries, Bavarian Pretzel, and Cheese Curds! For entrees, I ordered the Veal Schnitzel and Sausage Platter, with sides of German Potato Salad and Buttered Green Beans! For dessert, I ordered the Apple Strudel! Like I said, all the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! I think I might be dining in next time I come in though since I saw that the restaurant had outdoor seating in front plus the inside of the restaurant looked clean, cozy and welcoming (they had tvs behind the bar plus an arcade game section). In addition, there were entire families with kids having a great time both inside and outside of the restaurant! So, looks like I won't have to make the schlep all the way to Wisconsin nor ChIraq the next time I'm craving German food!“

“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.“

“The menu and taplist are great! Something for everyone! Plenty of vegetarian and carnivore options, most beer styles well-represented. Lots of local gems on the tap list, amazing selection of bottles and top shelf whiskey wall, and superb specialty cocktails. Great service-Real good people.“

“We came for the fish fry and it was excellent! It's served how it should be with plenty of fish, french fries, coleslaw and a dinner roll, perfect midwestern comfort food!! If you go on a Friday during lent be sure to get there early for a table ?“

“I've been here a couple times, the food is always good. But I think what makes this place stand out to me is the level of service. The wait staff is always attentive and constantly come back to check on you, not in an annoying way, but they have it down to a science it seems. They are never pushy and always friendly. It's a great place for you to be able to hang out with a few friends and grab a drink and a good meal.“

“Just had a shower on Saturday April 20. Everything turned out wonderful. Our servers were the best. They did an amazing job! The staff was also nice and friendly. Thank you all so much for a great experience. This was also my second shower event here.“

“Friendly neighborhood older tavern. You can walk in a stranger and leave as a friend. I love the older woodwork and old stained glass lights. Visited a few times recently while staying in the area, and always felt at home. Friendly staff and patrons. Nice older establishment that's worth a visit.“

“Great place. Bartender made us really good food even after the kitchen had been closed. He went the extra mile and turned everything back on just for us. Food was excellent as was the service. We WILL be back for more. Thanks for Making our night!“

“Still the best I drive 45 minutes.On a good traffic day to enjoy this crispy thin crust. Make sure you take advantage of this crispy crust and order it well done. When you walk in the door, there is a service station right to the left. There's always been immediate communication and unless it's packed you never have to wait for a seat. Plenty of room I very much like the ambience Northwoods, theme, and there's something to look at everywhere you go around the room. Sometimes after placing my order, I walk around and do just that to see what's new and was changed.“

“This is a really good local establishment. It's a small bar with what looked like a decent outdoor area. It was burger night and the smash burger was excellent. The birria tacos were also very good. This isn't some highbrow place... just a small local joint that is serving up a couple of really good items along with good drinks. The bartender was friendly and I was glad we went there.“

“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.“

“We came here for breakfast and we will definitely be back. The bartender - who was also our server - was friendly, efficient and attentive.My husband ordered the corned beef hash bowl and I ordered the Southern Benedict. The bowl had corned beef hash, breakfast potatoes, cheese and eggs, and a side of toast. The Southern Benedict was an english muffin topped with bacon, perfectly poached eggs and sausage gravy, with a side of breakfast potatoes.Everything was cooked to perfection, seasoned well, and right-off-the-griddle hot. Plus, the prices were quite reasonable.We will return to try some of the other dishes on the menu, and I would urge everyone else to do the same.“

“Great casual spot for lunch on North shore of Lake Zurich (across the street, but good view of lake). Indoor and outdoor seating. Large bar with good selection of beer. Turkey club sandwich was easy with large helping of turkey. Fish and chips also very good.Kid-friendliness: Kid menuWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp“

“Stumbled across EPH doing a random Google maps search and I'm glad I did! They have an expansive menu of pub foods that surely would satisfy practically anyone. I had the Cajun chicken sandwich with goat cheese on a pretzel bun. The breast was huge and quite tasty. The goat cheese was interesting; not exactly my first choice but I didn't mind the outside my comfort zone choice. I paired it with Cajun fries for the perfect spicy combo. My wife had the Fiesta chicken, minus the bun, which she said she enjoyed. Definitely plan to go back and try more items on the menu.“

“Came out to O'Hare's Pub for their Friday Happy Hour. O'Hares is an Irish Pub adjacent to the Midway Bowling Alley. They have a ton of tv screens which was perfect for March Madness. They also have slot machines, darts, and pool tables. The happy hour specials are VERY value driven! My partner and I both got Rail Drinks and split an appetizer. The beer nuggets were simple but good and a large sharing portion. The bartender Melanie was very personable; she was hustling while still making small talk with guests and had some great menu recommendations. We loved the neighborhood locals vibe, the value driven menu, and sports bar/pub atmosphere. We will be seeing you again soon enough O'Hare's!“

“My wife and I came here to see a band on the patio. This was our first time here. Was very easy to get a drink at the bar. The bartender was very friendly. The outdoor patio was nice - not to big - not too small. We were able to find seats in the grass to sit and listen. It was a good experience and we will definitely be going back.“

“We knew that Pam was working yesterday. We stopped by and had a very nice lunch. She recommended the chicken tenders and they were awesome. We had appointments to go to and when we were done we went back and had after work drinks with one other the true “Legends” of her craft. Thanks Pam look forward to hanging out with you soon.“

“Went here on a Feiday night a few weeks ago. We didn't get any food so I can't rate that. The music was great, the drinks were amazing, the best customer service, and we loved talking to Cesar really great guy. Definitely will be going back.“

“Good experience overall! We went a little off peak so it wasn't nearly as busy but it still felt lively. Service was a little slow but the meal made up for it. Id you're thinking about upgrading to the zucchini fries do it! If you get the Jack Daniels burger, ask them to lather it in the sauce, it was completely missing it. Overall would come again“

“Our first visit to Tokio Pub was amazing. Mary did an amazing job to give us plenty of recommendations for drinks, food and desserts. I highly recommend trying the filet mignon! Very juicy and tender. We also tried the samurai fries, a bit spicy but very crispy and a lot of seasonings. The Lucky Cat drink was a bit strong and very citrusy. Not my favorite. We also tried the beef sizzling rice, highly recommend to stir the rice from bottom up to avoid it burning otherwise it’s delicious. The Tonkatsu broth with pork was delicious, served said its bone brother. The pork was super tender but had too many sesame seeds overall. Lastly, we tried the beignets, not my favorite. Dark chocolate and bit plain. Also be warn the chocolate syrup does literally squirt everywhere! I got it on my shirt and pants !!! HahaOverall loved the place, food and atmosphere!Parking: Parking is available within a short walkWheelchair accessibility: Entrance to the restaurant is available through both doors“
