My fiancé and I were trying to find something nice to do for a date night and it came down to choosing between either the last showtime at the movies or a late yet lively dinner. Based on the review we obviously chose dinner, and we also obviously regret that decision. It was 11pm on a Friday night and the restaurant’s website seemed promising, upon arrival not only was it quite slow for a Friday night It was also unappealing. We were greeted by a mute and expressionless bouncer who checked our I.D’s. We assumed we were to seat ourselves and we had no problem doing so since every single table was vacant, which was a red flag but we proceed with date night. We were greeted by a friendly bartender who turned out to be our waitress and she was great from beginning to end (even though all of our food did not come to the table at the same time) and I find it unfortunate our great service was masked by the smell of moth balls, cheap and outdated decor, music too loud for the amount of empty space, and overpriced disgusting food. Can’t imagine ordering anything more than an appetizer and a glass of water. I apologized to my fiancé for choosing the place and we went home to relieve our babysitter an hour after our arrival to this place. Literally prayed I didn’t get sick due to the food quality. Never again and not a recommendation in the least. Read Less

Ok so I had a great bartender the one with the long hair and nice smile. She convinced me to stay and have a drink and eat after I wanted to leave, I should've went with my right mind. This place is really a joke ! It's a hole in the wall literally. The ceiling is falling down. The drinks are over priced and they have duck tape holding up the tables ! I guess it's somewhere to go when there's nowhere to go . Oh well ! Read Less

The place has a nice and mature atmosphere, the music is great not to loud. I had crab leggs and they tasted great!!! The drinks were worth the money, and the waitress serviced us right away, the owner was presented and greeted us when we walked in the door and offered us the seat of our choice. Me and my wife had a really good time. I would recommend that you give them a try, the food really taste great!!!!! Read Less

The ambiance is fine but customer service was horrible. When asked how many shrimp come with the jumbo shrimp and the waitresses reply is I don't know I don't eat shrimp you clearly have chosen the wrong place. There were four customers dining i total, we had a 10 minute wait for water then another 10 for her to come over and actually take our order. Of course we drank our water and politely cancelled the order. This is more than a reflection of an off night but more so a good indicator that no real training is happening in thisbut I guess as long as the people are playing video poker who cares if thw money keeps rolling in. Highly Disappointed. Read Less

Great casual and laid back spot to kick back. There's carpet throughout the club paired with comfy couches. The food and drink options are nice too but my favorite addition to this spot is the dance/karaoke floor. Definitely coming here again. Had a great time and the people that come are lively too.

First and last time customers all in one day. Friendly bartender, nice decor, mediocre food, but they seem to make up their prices as they go along as they sure didn't match what the menu said. When we questioned why we were being charged more than what the menu stated the owner decided to talk to the bartender about our bill in front of us instead of to us. He told her to tell us "I know what the menu says, but this is what I charge." Last time I checked, your menus are a reflection of you and your establishment. Never made eye contact with his customer. Drinks were watered down. I definitely won't be back. Thought this Bar had been "Rescued". Half a star if I could. Read Less

Ok so let first apologize because I didn't take my phone and I couldn't yelp while I was in the moment. But I will try my best to give it to you as I experienced it.First of all. BR Bar is not an old white mans bar as one might first think based on its location and design. However it is modern and an environment for those of us 40 and over. If you're a young cat with an old soul you'll enjoy this spot.Also, don't be deceived though it is called a bar it is so much more. A steppers brunch on Sundays. Karaoke at least once a week. Friday's are set for parties and celebrations. This place is definitely under utilized if I can say that. The wait staff is wonderful. The owner is on site and is a pleasure to engage with. Thanks Brad and Deyza for an awesome night.This place has steak, crab legs, salmon and gumbo with veggies like asparagus, salad and mixed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots...and a full bar with a DJ. I'm no spring chicken and I recognized most of the songs played by the DJ. I went home singing until I went to bed. When I say I was pleasantly surprised, I tell you I wanted to bring all of my family and friends but I was already there.Prices were were reasonable, the food was good, service was pleasant and the environment was casually sporty and romantic all at the same time. Brad has his finger on the pulse of things he is just waiting for us to arrive. I think this place is worthy of a yelp take over. If you have never been to BR Bar in Country Club Hills today is your day to stop by. It's open seven days a week and closing is at 3 am nightly.Next time I'll have picks of the environment and the menu. I will be back FOR SURE!!!BR Bar! BR Bar! BR Bar! Read Less

Went to a bday party and the food was salty, dry, and overpriced (can I get more than 2 asparagus spears with trimmed ends, and non-lumpy mashed potatoes).  It was not very crowded, but the service was slow.  It seems like more attention is shown to male patrons by the servers, with some behavior being inappropriate (I guess you learn from your superiors, which was also observed).  The music was whack with horrible transitions into the next song. I should NOT hear Marvin Gaye or the Isley Brothers, and then you transition into a raunchy and profane song while STEPPING.  I guess it's back to the city for a nice time :-( Read Less

So apparently this place was on bar rescue a few years back. Is it possible for another rescue. Ok it's not that bad. I came for a cousins birthday so my experience is from the after hours aspect.  With that being said something's just need improvement. It was raining cats and dogs and there was a leak in the bar area. Leaks happen, how long it's been there im not sure but by the looks of it, it's not a new or one time occurrence. The men's bathroom well looked like it's only serviced weekly instead of daily. The actual dining room is quite nice, especially for a sports bar. Yea it's more bar than steakhouse. Service: the staff there is super pleasant. Like all smiles and courteous. The kicker, they're a bit slow. Probably waited 20 min to get a drink. But being nice does go a long way these days. We were served a party platter, salad, wings,mostaccioli. Not bad. All the food that came from the kitchen looked good. I'm sure this place is a hot spot but when coming just set you expectations for bar vs a true fine dining establishment Read Less

On a business trip to the Chicago area, we stumbled across this place on our way to Cook County Forest preserves on our free day and decided to stop in rather than hitting the usual fast food.The place is very classy but comfortable and the food was excellent. I ordered my usual Tom Collins and it was perfect, my business partner and his wife ordered some fruity cocktails and enjoyed them. It's definitely a place we would frequent if we lived in the area and will be back if and when we're back. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out medium BUT it was tasty enough that is ate it anyway! Recommended. Read Less

I've been either a waiter or in food service for most of my adult life. I was literally offended by the quality of food, service, and the fact that they asked for money at the conclusion of such a horrid experience. I guess they were recently on bar rescue?  I question whether they learned any lessons. Save your time. Save your money. Go somewhere that takes pride in their product.----Just watched the Bar Rescue episode.  Above post remains the same, but wish them the best, and hope they find more pride in what they do and make the restaurant a success.

The first rule of a steakhouse is make sure that if nothing else is perfect, the steaks are.  Somehow, I think that rule escapes the chef here.  But I will at least start with the positives.The wait staff:  Pleasant enough.  I had some issues with dinner and they were quick, albeit a touch reluctant, to correct the problems.  No argument when I had to send something back, and an issue with my drink was subsequently comped.The food:  the steak was seasoned well and the salad was okay.  I think it would have been better if the lettuce were dry so that the dressing could actually stick to it.  Unfortunately, those were the high points. The bad:Atmosphere:  this place is small,  so there is no reason to have the music so loud that it is distorted coming from the speakers. The music also needs to have clean content  Especially at brunch.  They should have installed small speakers throughout the space so that everyone can hear the music without the people sitting closest to the dance floor getting blasted out.  Drinks:  really?  No refills on soft drinks? Let me describe how bad that is.  Soda syrup comes in what is known as a "bib".  At worst, a 5 gallon bib will cost $50.  A short bit of math later, we find that for a 12 ounce highball glass with ice, it equates to roughly a 320% profit as with ice, you only really get about 8oz.  So it wouldn't kill them to offer at least 1 refill to diners.  Or if you don't offer refills, then at least make sure that your CO2 is working.  Oh, and our water glasses were not refilled either.Food:  How does a steakhouse not get steak temps right?  I'll tell you. Thin steaks. Mid-rare steaks will continue cooking well past the intended temp when they are resting when they are thin.  They need to focus on thick-cut steaks so that even if they are slightly over, then the customer still gets what they want.  The other entrees were just as bad - Loaded mashed potatoes tasted like they come from a box of instant mashed.  They were gritty and did not hold any form.  The fettucine was the same - tasted like it was instant noodles and sauce.  And that's a travesty, because with a bit more attention to detail and a push for standards and fresh food, this place could really be something.  The catfish looked good -- I admittedly didn't try it, but I was disappointed that we got one small fillet for $13.  Overall: There are a LOT of issues, including the bathrooms which were in such a state of disrepair that I felt dirtier leaving the bathroom than I did entering it.  (FYI:  You should not smell the bathrooms out in the main dining room.  That is just bad for business.)   Perhaps the business would just be better off as a bar instead of trying to be a bar and steakhouse.  No second chances for this place unless there are drastic changes.

Beware this is not a restaurant, it's a bar lounge that serves food, and I didn't see one steak every one was eating fried chicken! We bought a groupon to eat here and when we arrived they asked for ID I'm thinking you need ID to enter a steakhouse? Once we entered you have to seat yourself the place was filled with an older crowd 50yrs and up. Every one was dancing to old school music and there were limited tables to sit at. This establishment uses the word "steakhouse " loosely it's a old ppl lounge if we ever step foot in here again we'll get here early to get a table. Read Less
