   We are very familiar with Glen Prairie, but had not previously tried their Happy Hour menu. We will be back! Same GP quality and a great value.

   So hard to find a restaurant with even a few Gluten Free options, Glen Prairie has a menu full of them. This place is wonderful, the food is great and we’ll be back

   After a week of travel for this Mom, the last thing I wanted to do was to make dinner. This isn't the first time we've been to Glen Prairie and I knew it was just the place I wanted to go. The atmosphere is warm, but quiet. Perfect for a good family catchup. The food is comforting without being too heavy and the wine, beer and cocktail selection is the perfect pairing. We've had the pleasure of being served by Anna a few times now and she does a great job. She is attentive and watchful, without being overbearing which is a difficult skill to master for a lot of servers. Aside from that, I love that it is a safe place for folks with food allergies and I feel very well taken care of in respect to that issue. I can tell that everyone from the hosts to the servers to the bartenders to the kitchen staff are very well trained in creating a safe and welcoming experience for each guest. Glen Prairie is quickly becoming one of our go to family favorite restaurants and we will definitely be back!

   The short- The appetizers were good, the entrees flavor and temperature was inconsistent, and the service was awful. The long- While the server said she would give us space, before we ordered, it was very difficult to flag her down because she didn't come by anymore. After ordering, I would have thought she would have checked on us more frequently. This would have been especially helpful after we received our meals and my daughter's food was cold. It never happened. Our party of 6 had a 20% gratuity added automatically at the end. The percentage is not an issue, but there was zero notification on the menu, or by the server, of such a fee (as I have seen in many other restaurants). The server debated with us about this being the standard and had the nerve later to say it is an Illinois standard. This is patently false in regards to party size and percentage (it varies by location). We asked to see a manager and the server came back saying they weren't around and mush be on break. Upon her return from removing the applied fee, she loudly apologized that we were not happy with the service (the loudest she spoke all night) and now said she informed the manager of all of our concerns and the manager would be available by the reception desk upon departure. Not only was the manager not there, but I am curious why the manager wouldn't come by and check on us personally. Was the server being truthful? With lackluster service, and food that was hit or miss, I would think twice about returning. I definitely cannot recommend Glen Prairie to others.

   We had the usual outstanding Glen Prairie experience. Our server, Anna, provided superb service. The food was incredibly delicious. The new chocolate cheesecake desert was so fantastic it defies description. Highly recommend this restaurant!

   Overall not a great experience, waitress was disinterested, food was bland, tables were too close together, we felt like we were part of the conversations on either side of us.

   Filet and Ribeye were good, but both were not cooked to our preference. Riley was supposed to be medium rare, and the filet was supposed to be medium. Riley was more medium, and the filet was more well. Prices were good if the steaks were cooked to our preference. Waitress wasn't rude, but she definitely seemed tired and ready to go home. Tables were spaced nicely, and the place wasn't very crowded. My wife got the love potion drink and enjoyed it very much. Gf onion rings held together nicely when biting, and the rice flour used combined with the onion gave it a nice but overwhelmingly rich and greasy flavor.

   Wonderful food. I love the menu. Service was great and the ambiance beautiful. We dined before theater and it took nearly an hour to get our meal forcing a rushed meal and late to theater. I’d gladly dine again with more lead time.

   Food was good, nothing spectacular. The best item was the beet bruschetta.

    Went here for dinner with four friends. Great service, good food and wine options. Modern but comfortable atmosphere, ideal for conversation. One friend has celiac disease and this restaurant takes GF requests seriously. Many GF options. My friend dines here frequently and has never had an issue.
