McQ’s Bar & Grill

They had incredible fries but switched to steak fries which are basically frozen. Spoke to the manager about it but he didn’t seem to care. And the servers have forgotten to bring a glass of water or sauces on several occasions. Took too long to get an order from the bartender as well. I think he’s overwhelmed. The bbq is good but for the prices and the service and the less than quality fries I will just go to todd’s bbq at the recently opened mariano’s in Naperville.

I have been many times since the place opened and this is the first time I have had horrible service. My server was sitting in the off track for 20 minutes. Never came back to see if we needed anything. The bar back needed to go to the off track to find a server to have the table behind us check out. I do find it odd the manager has been sitting in the off track betting horses instead of paying attention to his clients. It is unfortunate that the manager cares about customers less than he appears to care about betting horses. After we voiced our disappointment with service, the manager went back to the off track to check his tickets. Too bad seeing this place slide as much as it has.

I do like this place but, I’ve have mixed experiences. I suppose it all has to do with A. the crowd in the place and B. Which waitress you get (the layer being of more importance) the food has always been good but wait time to get service has been a problem

Discovered this place a few weeks back. On my third visit today I was thrilled once again. This place has a great atmosphere and service. My server, Kati wa absolutely fantastic in every way. Great menu selection and perfectly prepared food.
Totally happy I found this place.

i had the rib dinner, and it was awesome! nice cold brew, and im happy! Definitely will be back! My friend had a burger and loved it – good quality. great specials!

Came here for a buddies birthday. Nothing crazy, we were pretty low-​key. I ended up hitting some golf balls and then came in for some lunch. Menu was diverse and really good. I ended up with the chicken tenders, they were the bomb. Big pieces and came with tots. Food was excellent. They needed one more person to come in to help with service though since they were quite busy. I will definitely come again for sure.

Great Chicken Wings and Mac n Cheese. Manager Colleen was very accommodating, even made me some fresh coffee for my ride home. Lots of flat screen tvs to watch your favorite sports team.

All sports bar; no casual dining; very similar to Fox & Hound. Go there if (1) you want to watch the game, drink and nibble on some bar food, or (2) want a quick bite for lunch. Do not go there if you want a sit-​down casual dinner. All the tables are bar-​height /​counter-​height (not dining table height). Lots and lots of TVs to watch all the games. Leave the kids at home (see «Ambiance» below).
Food is average. I ordered the BBQ Brisket Sandwich. BBQ sauce is good, but they hardly put any on the sandwich, so the sandwich was dry and bland. My husband order the Half-​Slab of Ribs. He enjoyed them and said they tasted very fresh. Both meals came with coleslaw and fries. The coleslaw had an off-​taste, very bland. I think they put a bit of mayo on it and forgot the salt, sugar, and vinegar. Fries were cooked thoroughly and crispy. His meal came with a cornbread muffin – standard box mix, very dry.
Waitress and service was fine and timely.
Ambiance: Noise level was fine. But we had the misfortune of sitting next to a table of 4 men, 2 of which had the nastiest, most foul language. Each sentence out of their mouths contained at least three words of profanity. So this is NOT a family-​friendly environment. In 45 minutes time, we heard about 100 curse-​words.
Food was okay, but I would not go back there solely because I do not enjoy being surrounded by ignorant, immature, angry, 40-​something-​year-​old men constantly spewing curse words because they hate their jobs, hate their lives, can’t get a date, blah, blah, blah.

Pleasantly surprising experience!
For a bar attached to an OTB and golfing dome, I wasn’t sure what to expect food-​wise. I think my mind was thinking back to the batting cages I used to go to where the food was at about carnival status (chips and nacho cheese, etc), but this food was really good!
This would be a great place to catch a game– tons of tvs and good drink specials. Service was super friendly. They have a lot of nice people there who seem to enjoy their job.
I ended up ordering their Tipsy Stout burger– a stout-​glazed (I think?) beef patty with brown sugar bacon, crispy onions, merkts cheese and on a pretzel bun. This was a perfect combination! I hadn’t had a burger in a while and this one was worth the splurge! The flavors of salty and sweet meshed so well. That was one for the books! The fries that came with it were also good, and there is the option to upgrade to tots for 50 cents more or sweet potato fries for $ 1 more. Everyone else enjoyed their food too. One thing I noticed in particular was my friend’s buffalo chicken wrap. Not only was it loaded with chicken, the lettuce in it looked dark and healthy! I’m a lettuce elitist and the less ice berg I see, the better!
We had a few issues with prices on drinks when our bill came out, but they were apologetic in trying to fix them.
I wouldn’t hesitate to return here!

This place is awesome. Great for sports. Good Blackhakws bar. I will return on a NBA night, so I. An enjoy some good beer n eats while watching my favorite sport. I think the BBQ was just ok today. The meat wasnt too tender or falling off bone. The flavors were good. The wings were good but the skin was real stretchy n tough. Id rather have smoky, melt in your mouth BBQ. Great service. I will definitely return.

Would actually give them a zero. Don’t call yourself a Chicago Blackhawks bar if you don’t play the Hawks on season opener. Bottom line for me.

Good place in the winter to hit some golf balls went her last winter had a great time. Full bar and restaurant food was great had a burger great selection of beer on tap. Good weekday specials. Get busy on Sunday’s with football. Maybe this year won’t be so bad on Sunday’s since the Bears suck! Definitely would go back.

Awesome BBQ! Had the Pig Skins tonight and they were delicious, a meal in itself. My son had a hot dog and it was huge, he couldn’t even finish it. We both came home with leftovers. My server, London, was great too!

Absolutely delicious! All employees were so friendly, fun atmosphere too. The mixed drinks were super good! I’ve never had better bar food. The pulled pork sliders are TO DIE FOR! And the burger my boyfriend ordered was incredible as well. We just stopped in for a late lunch on our way home from the Promenade. Very good choice for a quick bite. There was limited seating but we’ll definitely go back next time we’re in the area.

Roger the assistant GM was incredibly nice and engaged us in conversation. We talked football, baseball and basketball. He made us feel welcome even though we are not regulars to this place. He was extremely kind. The entire waitress and bartender staff was kind and engaged us in conversation as well. It was great having staff that talk to you even if they don’t know you. The buffalo wings were very good. The spinach artichoke dip was great, not very creamy and filled with spinach… perfect. Can’t wait to try their outdoor patio when it is completed. Might be our new place to watch NFL games!

It’s easy to drive past this place since the speed limit is 50 and it at first glance looks like an industrial building.
Definitely make the turn in!
The entrance is very nicely done.
The interior is fresh and clean.
Sports bar with great food.
Our server was so proud of the new menu items. She was so friendly!
30? Tv’s
Try the fresh breaded chicken tenders–
You must try them! A pound of juicy chicken.
Yum.

This was not my first chose of place to be, but I think my bar closed down!
I am new to town and looking for a home town bar. Stop In here a few times and I can not say that I’m really impressed. Bartenders are friendly, but not very talkative to new people. Only really came around to ask if I was ok. Tried to talk to them, but they were more interested in talking to the regulars. I understand that I’m an outsider, but they did not need to make me feel that way!!!
They could not make green beer on St. Patrick’s Day!!! What, it was the major reason that I was out!!!
Food is good!

The golf come at this facility has become a side-​show. The hours to hit golf balls are very restrictive. They have frequent leagues (softball, etc) that close the dome during peak hours. The rates to hit golf balls are overpriced and I constantly get hounded by people asking if I want drinks. Parking is always cramped because this place services more OTB than golfers. The bar area is small and food service is slow/​unattentive. However, the food is great! Great menu options and fantastic BBQ!
Overall, real golfers looking for serious practice this winter would be better served going to Links & Tees or White Pines as I feel this facility does not have golf as a very high priority.

We ordered ribs here for takeout for the family and was really impressed with the smoke flavor. It had enough flavor I didn’t bother to put any BBQ sauce on mine.
The fries were just ok but the homemade chips were a hit (fries didn’t transport well on our way home). Service was great and they had a friendly staff.

I’ve never eaten at McQ’s but I like the place for drinks as it’s never overly crowded & not difficult to get a table. Lots of TVs for games and a good selection of beers & cocktails. Moscow mules are solid. Excellent selection of sangrias, red apple is my favorite.
The service last night was poor. The servers seemed really uninterested in our group of 12. They’d check in with our table once and awhile but leave before everyone could put in a drink order. They also seemed annoyed when I’d flag them down to order something. Wasn’t a full house by any means so I’m not sure what the distraction was.
