"Our dinner here was absolutely wonderful. My wife enjoyed the Wild Western burger while I tried the sliders and both were perfectly cooked with top-notch meat. The sides, from fries to tots, were equally tasty. Jen, our server, was friendly, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It was our first visit, but we’ll definitely be returning soon."

"I love this place. I always get the same thing; bowl of French onion soup and a side salad. It’s always wonderful. The side salad today was super fresh and included fresh onions and mushrooms. The soup was excellent very hot and fresh. I wish that it had 2-3 more pieces of bread and some more onions but was very good. They use special French onion soup bowls and the cheese and broth they use is perfect."

"Food and service were good. Not many fries but food was good. We had turkey club and BBQ sliders. Not the easiest place to get into on Algonquin RD but manageable. Plenty of parking."

"The weather was gorgeous so we dined outside. There's a nice sized patio behind the restaurant. Our server was phenomenal. She really did an excellent job taking care of us. The nachos were tasty and everything was reasonably priced."

"1/2 price pizza Mondays are not bad. Went there for the $5.00 burger with a choice of sides. Burgers are decent, but they don’t give you any fries! The fry portions are very skimpy. Food is decent, beverages are ice cold and service is ok. They have awesome breakfast specials and the a good sampler appetizer. Ribs are not bad. Chopped steak is ok. A real nice place to enjoy a sporting event (Go Cubs!) with a beautiful bar that is nice to see in a newer building. The location is nice, food is decent and reasonably priced."

"We had a fantastic dinner here. Husband had the Wild Western burger and I had the sliders. Meat quality was awesome, cooked perfect. Fries and chips and tots were great. Our server Jen was super nice, attentive, and just overall took good care of us. It was our first time here and we will be back!"

"My son and I went to The Donkey Inn Bar & Grill located in Algonquin. He went with the Flat Bread Caprese w/Chicken and, I chose the Hot Roast Beef. The description for my meal does say "sliced" roast beef but, it seemed more like Italian Beef. Roast beef is a totally different cut of meat, yeah!? Because of that, I give it a "2." My son liked his flat bread. They do have other items on the menu that sound good. I would probably give it another shot and try something different."
