Great burgers, too bad about the Cubs Bar deisgnation

by wallychambers at Citysearch

I've been here for burgers after golf probably 5 times over the past 10 years. Recently we had a youth baseball game out that way and decided to stop after the game. There were probably 10 kids and 8 adults. All ordered burgers and we had pitchers of root beer and real beer. The large man who cooked and set up our tables was extremely nice and had a good time talking and kidding with us. Even though the handwritten sign says, "no children," they were very happy to accommodate our large party. We didn't bother other patrons and they didn't bother us.

Waiting for this excellent burger gives you a chance to have a cold beer or two and is well worth the wait. If you want charming service and fast food, go to Ed Debevics. This is a must stop when you are out southwest near Sugar Grove, Yorkville, area!

• Pros: Truly great burgers, plenty of elbow room, small town charm,
• Cons: Out of the way, have to make the stop when in the area

Excellent burger, can't beat the price

by Giants84 at Citysearch

If you want to be pampered this is not the place for you. The staff is busy and does not spend a lot of time with customer service, but the burger is excellent, the beer is good and best of all the price is right. If you are looking for different food options, go elswhere. So my advice if you decide to go; order your burger as soon as you can, and have a few beers while you wait.

Skip This Joke

by JoeAssaultsElderlyWomen at Citysearch

Good burger, but I was appalled at the behavior that I saw a month or so ago by a few members of staff. Went in here with a few buddies after work and sat at the bar. Saw the owner grab some elderly woman and shake her by the arm. I'm sorry, the woman may have been a bit worked up but you never lay your hands on someone. And come on, a huge man grabbing a woman 1/2 his size. I've lost all respect for this place and that is too bad because we've been going here for about 3 years. I can't stomach that kind of treatment. We walked out as soon as we finished our drinks. There are much more friendly establishments in the area. Next time, pick on someone your own size!! And ignore the other "Fake" reviews that pop up on here, its just people that work there trying to do damage control from this evening in question. As you can see there haven't been many reviews posted about this place. The people involved know what they did and knew they would have to post fake reviews to cover up their inexcusable behavior.

• Pros: None after what I saw

No Small Town Hospitality Here

by KarmaBaby at Citysearch

Burgers are good, but bad service!! Please make sure you don't complain if your order comes up wrong. Agree with anything they say and eat what they give you. Please, trust me!!!! As long as you sit and eat and not talk to the staff you will be okay. There are other places in this area that remembers the slogan, "The Customer Is Always Right". Instead they are argumentative and aggressive. Please for safety reasons, eat your burger even if they bring you out a hot dog. Replace the cracked out waitress who works Saturday evenings. I mean come on already!!! Its not the customers fault if she is hung over and unpleasant.

• Pros: Good Burgers
• Cons: No Customer Service Skills, Aggressive & Argumentative Staff

HORRIBLE WAITRESS, TOO BAD!!! GOOD BURGER

by JoeBT at Citysearch

HORRIBLE WAITRESS ON STAFF!!! Asked for a Miller Lite and was brought the wrong beer. Told the waitress and she insisted I ordered the beer wrong. I will give props to the bartender Dave though. He always has a smile!! The burgers aren't worth it here if they can't treat the customer with respect. Go elsewhere!!!! Plus, my friend went there a few weeks ago and saw someone drop a burger on the floor and throw it back on the grill!! Yuck!!!!! Thought they were sly and no one saw.

• Pros: Good Burger
• Cons: 1 Bad Waitress, Staff likes to argue with the customer

great

The BRISTOL TAP is very well maintained, CLEAN.

All the employees actually seem to enjoy their jobs and it is shown in the prompt friendly service. Don't expect to place your order for a cheese burger and get it within 15 to 20 minutes, it just won't happen. The burgers are cooked slow. I would personally recommend a cheese burger with everything. This includes fresh lettuce, a large slice of tomato and large slice of raw onion. Very few options are available but the burger is very tasty without any additional, ' fixens'.

• Pros: small town atmosphere, excellant value, near golf course
• Cons: , not many children, to comfortable
