No-nonsense joint offering pit-smoked BBQ, classic sides & desserts, plus a bar with local brews.

👍👍 Region Restaurant is always a treat. Their seasonal menu offers an exciting take on what's fresh during a particular season. Their bang bang cauliflower is a must-try! It's the best cauliflower appetizer in the northwest suburbs! Recently, we tried the crabcake appetizer, and it was very good. When...

BBQ ribs are the specialty of this chill, old-school bar & grill also serving burgers & steaks.

🫤 My family and I love Spanky's but our last few visits have been been great. On 10/6/23 I placed a phone order just after 5 pm. I was told it would be 30 minutes. At 5:45 pm the food was still not ready and was told it was only ordered a few minutes previously, which was not true. At about 6:15 pm th...

Laid-back local tavern serving burgers, bar bites & beer in compact quarters with big-screen TVs.

👍👍 We arrived on a very busy Friday so things took a little longer but it was worth the wait. The staff never missed a beat.

🫤 June 2023: I was initially delighted by the quality of the brats, served in a pretzel bun! August 2023: Despite our great first experience, our second visit with a group of friends left a lot to be desired. One of our friends ordered a plain cheeseburger without garnish, but it was served with all...

👍👍 It's been many of many years since I stopped at this place by boat on the fox river. The food is dynamite! They have great specials and reasonable prices. Couple things that drew my attention.
