New American Restaurants near Winthrop Harbor, IL

“Had an okay time the last visit to this lakeside bar and grill. It's got to be the most popular place to go in Winthrop Harbor because it's busy, as far as when it's summer when everyone comes out here. The Tropics has the typical beach goer type of theme. Even though it's not next to a beach, it is located next to a lake. You can even pull your boat up and get something. Basically there's a lot of lakeside bars like it. It's best known for the drinks and live music. This of course gets pretty crowded in summer. Always some event going on. This is popular for banquets and whatever. Last time we got drinks and food. They were pretty busy so we didn't order a lot. Got the Blue Lagoon cocktail. It's about $8 and made with Blue Curacao, lemonade, and Tito's. As far as the food goes, it's mostly greasy fried stuff so we tried our best. We got the Chips And Salsa. It's about $5 for a pretty good amount. The rest of the menu is fishy and meaty. Great views of the lake. It's got a lot going on. There's live music and whatever.“

“I take my family to this great restaurant many times a year! This is my favorite restaurant to pass a nice evening. I visit this place frequently. The cooking is of high quality, the crew is helpful and the prices are decent. I like eating in this restaurant for a nice lunch.“

“Burgers are good! They have just about any burger you want and you can pick items to make your own. Bonus the have free lettuce wrap for those of us with Gluten sensitivity and a gluten free bun option for an up charge. My burger was cooked medium well, had flavor and they are generous with the toppings. I had a good small basic side salad and enjoyed the Wisconsin beer cheese soup. They had many good looking drink options, beer to Bloody Mary’s but I did not partake of them. Our server was quick to greet us and get our Sodas. She was smiling and attentive, kept our drinks filled and knew the menu and had recommendations she asked. Table and booth were clean. Menus on a rack on table were a bit sticky but server wiped them down and brought us a new one. Overall good evidence.“

“Man when I say this food is beyond amazing it is. The mango habanero sauce is amazing better than any you guys will ever taste. The wings Better that than bdubs and wings stop the only bad thing is they close at night when the munchies hit. 10/10 for sure“

“Get family owned restaurant in North Chicago. 2nd time here both times great service & food! This time I ordered Steak Skillet with over easy eggs. Big portions. Great taste. Skillet definitely matches up with the "big name breakfasts spots" if not better.“

“Went for the Friday Fish, the walleye was fantastic. Next time I’m trying the fish tacos, folks at the next table raved about them. Also great staff and a great bar, though the place feels kind of like a reckroom. Subdued lighting might be nice.“
