From the piper playing outside, the decor and atmosphere inside to the amazing food....flawless. Food...

Fishermen's Inn
Event venue
👍👍 Jeff and I got married on November 4th 2022. What an INCREDIBLE experience. Right when we walked into Fishermen’s Inn, we were sold on the venue just by the property and interiors of it. Little did we know the beautiful place would be paired with an AMAZING staff. Kara was assigned as our coordinato...

The Corner Grind
Cafe
🫤 It’s been so sad to see the slow and now sudden demise of our absolute favorite coffee shop in the area.
The new owners totally botched this. They raised prices and lowered the quality of the offerings.
Used to be a family tradition to go here weekend mornings for a doughnut, coffee, and breakfast...

Obscurity Brewing and Craft Mead
Brewpub
👍👍 First time at this venue, really nice and well laid out. Beer garden is huge with a bar 🍸 and stage. Plenty of room for dancing. Nice rustic setting. Very enjoyable 😉 The brewery itself is comfortable with large assortment of drinks and decent menu of BBQ items.

Island Express Restaurant
Restaurant
👍👍 This has to be some of the best Jamaican food in the entire Chicago area. What a hidden gem! Mainly a take-out operation with a few chairs, the food traveled home really well because it was carefully packaged. The flavors are incredible and the portions are SO generous. Very kind service too! We had...

Alice's Place
Takeout Restaurant
👍👍 Good, small town ice cream place. Lots of options. Takes cards. Pretty much all outside, only a few seats inside. A nostalgic summer stop!

Schmidt’s Towne Tap
Live music bar
👍👍 One of my favorite restaurants, and lucky for me, it's right here in Elburn! Your best bet is going to be this: order the smoked food!! The smoked chicken wings are to die for, the smoked roast beef and cheddar sandwich (pictured) was a gourmet version of the nasty Arby's sandwich, the smoked briske...

Eddie Gaedel Pub and Grill
Sports bar
😠 We used to come a few times a month. I literally came for the black bean burger. We used to be challenged to find a seat. Tonight, Friday night, 6:30pm, it’s a ghost town. 7 gambling machines have replaced the larger tables. No IPA my husband will drink, and curses - no black bean burger and no vege...

Rise N Dine
Diner
👍👍 Diners usually have a from freezer to microwave quality, but not here. The food was delicious and appeared to be homemade. Banter between waitresses and the kitchen was entertaining as it added to the small hometown vibe. At the end of our meal we were asked if we'd like "to-go" refills of our beve...

Peck Butterfly House

👍👍 What a beautiful place! I had no idea this existed. The Butterfly House was AMAZING! They were so active and friendly. The view from the silo was awesome. All the plants were so pretty. My girl loved walking in the water. Bring a lunch as there are plenty of places to eat. All free, however they hav...

Hickory Knolls Discovery Center
Nature preserve
👍👍 I visited this place with my kids (3-8 years old) mostly to get out of the house. The kids felt good there. We enjoyed the chance to check out some amazing animals that we get to share this planet with and this center takes care of them (pluss stuffed ones). May it assist many others in discovery...

Acquaviva Winery & Ristorante
Winery
🫤 My mom has loved her previous experiences at this restaurant so we made a res here for Mother’s Day and drove out from Chicago to join.
I’m not sure if it was due to inflation but the menu was affected by shortage of food items. The restaurant was out of mozzarella, and the waitress went back a cou...
