Goodfellas Bar & Grill

We stopped by because of the location and we were driving on rt 41. Stand up comedy on Wed — which was a little loud for me. Patio seating was nice. Very nice waitress. The food was REALLY good. Fresh salad with hearty vegetables. Mad props for the seasoned fries and coleslaw. I rarely like restaurant fries but I might just come back for fries and coleslaw. Great place!

Stopped by late on a Thursday night after finishing some meetings at a nearby retreat center. Not a lot open in the area at 11pm, so it was nice to find some chicken wings that we could snack on. There were $ 2 bottles for Thirsty Thursday, which was a great deal. And the chicken wings were meaty. Hot sauce was served on the side along with blue cheese dressing, which I like because I appreciate being able to control how much sauce I get on eat bite. Celery sticks on the side too. I wish I found this place sooner because I would’ve been there every night this week to eat some wings. Service was good, and we paid around $ 14 for a plate of 18 wings — a pretty good deal!

too small– i feel like the employees have attitude. theres this one really nice girl who works there though. ive been here several times. some else usually order my drinks for me. and i havent eaten here before. the seating to the left is nice bc its booth. there is also a stripper pole and its fun. live bands are soo loud when near the stage. outdoor seating.

We (a small group) went there on a Sunday afternoon, the place was packed, and the server was waaaay in over her head. 1^st round of drink orders came out quick. 2dn round, my drink was forgotten. Food took forever to arrive and came in multiple trips. The pizza was very good and generous with the toppings. When it came time for the bill, the server decided to lump my bill with someone else’s, she charged the wrong food to the wrong family. Was kind of a mess.

Love their food and the vibe there is awsome. Love the style and best italian in the area. They have good drinks too and they have apecials for everyday. Fun place to hangout at.

I’ve eaten here three times. Pizza is decent but their sandwiches are tasteless and dry. It’s like they’ve never tried their own food. Well, that’s the last time I’ll eat there. Too many other bar/​restaurants out there…

Awesome pretzel burgers and fries
Fun comedy hour on Wednesdays
Staff is alittle slow but worth the visit

Good food and great comedy show on Wednesday nights… great price for the generous food portions. Mixed drinks not so great. They have a beautiful large outdoor patio to enjoy.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!
Either the manager or waitress added $ 4 to my mom’s tip that she didn’t leave or authorize. It wasn’t enough for my mom to challenge so she just let it go with the understanding that NONE of us would be back.
The food was also greasy and the drinks tasted watered down.

Update: The ribs are great. Fall off the bones great. Only 10.95 for a full slab, you can’t buy them at the grocery store for that. Sauce is really good too. (Wednesday special price) My prior review got deleted somehow. They have one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Sauce is just right. Can’t beat the price either especially on Tuesdays. I love this place !

This was my first visit to Goodfellas. I was really disappointed in the food, service, and atmosphere that’s why I’m giving it a one star rating. Myself, my bf and his son went in for a late dinner around 8:30 PM tonight (Friday). The waitress informed us that they did not have PBR or serve soup during summer months. She also took down the wrong drink order which had to be set back. The food selection was limited to a lot of fried and greasy food. It wasn’t that tasty –and ontop of that — they had a DJ come in start playing music (loudly) — and turned down all the lights and put on strobe, laser, and party lights even though there were families still dining. It was bad business and management decision making I think. Especially because they had a band playing outside. People that wanted to party could just went out there! Disappointing!

This was my first visit to Goodfellas and really wanted to like it since it’s close to where I’m staying.
The food was decent. We had a pizza and a burger with salads. My burger was tasty and cooked well done but not over done.
The pizza had a good flavored sauce and toppings. I would have liked a crispier thin crust but overall was good and ½ price!
My complaint was the jukebox was overly loud for 5:30 pm. When family is there with kids they should tone it down until 7−8pm.
Try the patio weather permitting.

It’s ok nothing special. They have a lot of «bar food». It’s good if you’re there already and you need to. I would never go out of my way to eat there. I haven’t had the pizza yet (it’ssuppose to be really good) so I can’t comment on that. They have a good full bar… they make awesome bloody Marys on the weekend. They have a cool outside patio with a big fire pit. They have live music all the time and it’s a fun place to people watch at night.

5÷30÷2014 good food waitress Trisha gave excellent service I’ll go back…

We had the Pauly steak sandwich. The sandwich, homemade chips and onion rings were phenomenal and our waitress Tricia was the BEST! The prices are great for the quality and quantity of food. We will definitely go back. Thank you Tricia for such a great experience!

We have gone there several times when debating where to go on a Friday for beer after work and possibly a quick bite. The specials never change and they are called specials for a reason. The consistency of the food is not there. The waitress staff is usually really efficient until they get really busy, as to be expected. The bartenders aren’t overly friendly unless you are a regular that sits at the bar. But I guess that’s everywhere you go. They need to step up their game if they want all the business that Zuni’s used to get that is now closed. Don’t post pics on facebook on your food that doesn’t look at all like the pictures when it is served! They do have an awesome beer garden area with a firepit.

This review is based on tonight. It is Wednesday and comedy night as it states on the website. Sadly no comic tonight but I was told there would be one next week. It was not overly crowded but it did take forever to get a drink. There are drink specials on Wednesdays. 3.00 Long Island and 3.00 for Vegas bombs… And according to the website 3.50 for frozen mixed drinks. My Long Island was decent, my friend had a mudslide that was not and it cost 6.00. It was just made with ice and mix… Normally it is creamier and made with ice cream well at least where we normally go.
We all got food and it was pretty good. My friend had a pulled pork with coleslaw. She liked it. Some of our other friends just had an appetizer platter. My brother got a huge basket of cheese fries that were covered with Bacon. I had a Philly beef sandwich that was put on top of garlic bread. It was pretty tasty though not what I am used to. They had chunks of beef instead of slices. I also had coleslaw and it was very good.
We were there about 8:30 on a weeknight, not looking to get plastered but speed on getting drinks is important. We came for the comedy but no comedy. Slow service but the food was good so this time I can only give them 3 stars but I will check it out again.

Have stopped in a few times. Drinks can be over priced for a cedar lake bar. Food is ok. Had the wings (1^st time I had them they were awesome next time I went they weren’t the same) tater skins (exactly what you’d expect) & pizza (I enjoyed it).
If they could get the stink out of there and adjust their drink prices I’d give them another star.

I disagree with the other reviews! This place rocks! Awesome food, great atmosphere, and seriously how can you go wrong with a gangster theme?! Rockin music regularly and a fire pit outside where you can hang out and have a drink! I love this place!

«Fuh getta bout it!» This bar and grill in such an unlikely place of Cedar Lake intriguing me to stop in with it’s 20’s and 30’s gangster theme. It’s a great looking restaurant with a huge outdoor seating area. The inside is peppered with pictures of gangsters, but I was instantly put off by the tvs showing either sportcenter or spike tv, Why not some videos of gangsters as well?
The food was average. I had the Dutchman. The burger on a pretzel roll was ok, nothing I’d get again. The chips were tasty but greasy.
The place is definitely not smoke free and I can see when this place is busy at night this could be an annoyance for some. They have a good size stage inside and probably have some good shows to put on, but once again being in Cedar Lake, who could they get to come out down here?
