In Short
Soft green and yellow walls and colorful Midwestern art add to the airy charm of this comfortable, lofty space. The moderately priced menu gathers favorites from all over the country: Texas sliced sirloin, Mackinac whitefish, crawfish etouffee and more. Calamari dusted with Parmesan cheese and sprinkled with tomato-basil relish, or barbecued chicken wings sweetened with ancho-cherry sauce are favorite appetizers. Family-sized plate of good-and-crispy fried chicken comes with mashed potatoes and chicken gravy.

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to in Evanston, hands down. My friend and I were walking in the downtown area headed towards Tommy Nevin's when we stumbled upon Prairie Moon. From the outside, it looks as if it will be rather small and cozy. However, once you enter the restaurant, you realize that it's actually pretty huge! They have a really cool front bar area, with a bar they call "McCormick's Bar". When you continue towards the back of the restaurant, there are two dining rooms- one small and one large. They are very spacious, and have big, beautiful windows that they open during nice weather-it really creates a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere and helped create a soothing environment where we could sit, relax, and eat some lunch. They also have a gorgeous fenced in patio that I will definitely be back to check out. Everyone was super friendly and all smiles when we walked in as well, and our server was very good. And as for the food...TO DIE FOR. My friend Alison got an awesome salmon salad that I snuck a couple bites of, and I got the blackened fish tacos which were amazing. They also had other items ranging from gourmet burgers to delicious appetizers like chips and guac and calamari (if you are lookin to get some bar food). If you're a beer lover-this place is for you. Their extensive beer list was really well put together, and had a beer for everyone. We loved lunch so much, we came back for drinks later that night! We discovered "The Roadhouse" which is a bar in the back. It had pool tables, darts, and cool lights everywhere that made it a really enjoyable place to be. Also, we discovered they have a party room back there where people can schedule and host private events. I was talking to the bartender and apparently they have done everything from a bar/bat mitzvah to a wedding reception/rehearsal dinner. I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out!!!!!

I went for lunch on a weekend and all the food was very greasy. They are good for appetizers and drinks at night, though. Drink specials are original and not like anything else you see in Evanston. They have a nice atmosphere and a lot of space. The prices were not outrageous, and I felt I got what I paid for.

Service was not the best at the Prairie Moon. The restaurant was not very busy. We were sitted promptly, however had to wait awhile before our server came over to take our drink order. It also took a long time for us to get our bill. The table next to us was noticable upset with the service as well. The food was very good. They had an interesting twist on American classics. The portions are large, however I still felt that the prices were a bit steep for the quality of food and service.
