    Pizza was pretty darn good, and the owner's are super friendly and welcoming . Right next to the beautiful Fox River . You can place an order and pull up in your boat right off the river and park at the dock. You can do the same if you want to eat in . They have a spacious deck outside next to the Fox River with comfortable chairs and tables. They also have a Great selection of video gaming machines that pay out very generously. They have hired some great new help . So stop on by , as they are located at 98 Northwest Highway Fox River Grove ,Illinois. So keep an eye out for this fabulous family owned establishment. I wish them nothing but an amazing successful future.

    Has to be the best pizza in the area. Laura was terrific bartending and Wilbur was always helpful and taking great care of everyone. It's a small place but fun and very friendly

    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.

    Best thin crust pizza around! The soups are great too! Try the Mac n Cheese bites for an appetizer!

    We took a staycation in the area and decided to check out the place because the kitchen was open late. So glad we came in! Parking was easy. Location is right by the river. We were immediately greeted by the bartender, Laura. We told her we were visiting and she rolled out the welcome wagon. She told us about all the local fun things to do. She gave us a history of the town. We tried the special burgers, fries, macaroni salad, onion rings, chili, and cheesecake. Everything tasted amazing! I thought for being a little bar it might just be frozen pizzas or that everything would just be greasy. Instead everything was seasoned and presented well and the drinks were great! We had some fun cocktails. The other customers were friendly and engaging. Laura told us the history of the bar and it’s owners. It’s great to see a place with so much heart and history. Visit on a Friday when Laura is there she is so great. I tried to tip her a lot for her hospitality and she didn’t want to take it all (we snuck it back to her anyway 😌) the music was also fun - 80s rock. Prices were very reasonable. The kitchen staff was also really fun. Cheesecake is from a local baker and it was ridiculously good. Thanks for the great time! We will definitely be back!

    This place isn't bad, Italian beef was good, wings are good but I had ordered a hot dog and that was just gross. I tried picking it up and the bun fell apart. It looked like the hot dog had been in the microwave too long and it was all crispy burnt. No hot dog should ever look like this however the service was great, she seemed sympathetic and gave us some money back so we can't be too upset about it.

    I celebrated my nomination earlier this evening in this excellent restaurant. Well we had a terrific evening and the venue was definitely one of the reasons for the outstanding celebration.

    Pizza twas delish! Thought there was only one piece of pepperoni but it was under the cheese! Only downfall the wind took the mozzarella sticks right off the box and spilled a little of the marinara. But not too much! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new pizza in town!

    The Dead End is one of my favorite bars in the country! Every year I visit my best friend in Fox River Grove and we always go to the Dead End and have an amazing time! The drinks are good and cheap! There’s old style in tap and the gluten free pizza is amazing! You would have no idea it’s a cauliflower crust it tastes just like a usual chicago pizza and the crust is so crispy (which can be a struggle for gluten free crusts)!

    if i could give zero stars i would. the amount of racism in this bar is insane, it’s 2023??!? I waited over an hour for an 18in pizza while i saw multiple to-go pizza orders taken out and two dine in pizza orders given while i’m waiting for mine. i felt the RACISM & DISCRIMINATION as soon as i walked in. DONT GO HERE, it’s literally a dead end with nothing but white trash sitting on their bar stools.

  • 5/5 Eric F. 3 years ago on Google
    Best chili I've had in years. It was creamy and chunky. Hot and smooth. A delicious meal by itself. As for Dead End, it is a great, welcoming bar on the tip of the Chain of Lakes on the westernmost tip of Fox River Grove--the place where friends are made and last forever. Known for its pizzas, they do a ton of other from scratch food like fries, soup, chips, wings and the best chili I've had in years. Men's bathroom was spotless as well!
