Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Palatine

The burgers are delicious and hearty. The brussel sprout side is crispy and tasty. The smokey Old Fashioned was really good. Spears is a feel good, laid back restaurant.

Wanted a place to grab a decent meal before heading out for the rest of our Valentine's Day evening. They had a dinner for 2 deal that included appetizer, soup or salad, entree and dessert for 69.00. We had the shrimp app, an amazing cheese soup, both had the sirloin (cooked to perfection!!) that came with garlic potatoes and fantastic green beans almondine. Truly it was as good of a meal as we usually expect from an 'upscale' restaurant. Our server was on point as well! Dessert was an over the top bread pudding AND a type of chocolate lava cake that was filled with chocolate mousse. Everything was perfection - except to find out that the desserts are not on the regular menu haha! Would definitely be getting those next time we come back.

Everything was fantastic! We were seated in the party room. No one rushed us. Food came just as we had ordered and hot. Service was great!

Our server was excellent! Quick service, no errors in order. He took care of 11 people at our table! We saw a surcharge on the bill. We questioned it & found out it is an extra charge corporate adds on but we were able to get it removed. I did have a coupon that allowed me a free cheese pizza if I bought a 16" one topping pizza. When the bill came I was told that the manager did not approve a free pizza since we got there & did appetizer ordering at Happy Hour even though some also ordered AFTER the Happy Hour at full price. This was very disappointing.

The atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly. Our server Bianca, was personable and attentive and willing to engage with us. I was looking forward to a good corn beef sandwich and I wasn't disappointed. The food was served quickly and was hot and flavorful. And there was a lot of it. We all had leftovers to take home. It got a little noisy as the night progressed, but you'd expect that on a Saturday night at an Irish Pub. This is one of my favorite restaurants and we're sure to return.,
