Restaurants near Sunset Lodge of Elgin

I will be dreaming about this place for the next few WEEKS! Made a reservation in advance, definitely recommend this as usually they are reservation only or sometimes I think they do bar seating on a walk in basis if they can accommodate. And they are sticklers, if your entire party is not there, don’t expect to be sat! And sometimes you may lose a reservation if you’re too far past. Also, pro tip they have parking on the street and a small lot. My favorite accommodation is the walk up window. You can order brunch cocktails and coffees to enjoy while you wait, or your entire meal to go which is a nice add on. They have seating both indoor and outdoor as well as an indoor bar top area. Inside is super chic and modern, the staff is all very helpful and friendly. We ordered the cinnamon toast to start which was delectable. Tasted like a Cinnamon Toast Crunch bite but amplified. Was big enough to serve three of us! For mains my friends ordered the chicken and biscuit and I had the bacon sandwich (BEC). The flavors were amazing. The bacon cooked to perfection, the eggs similarly. The BEC had pimento cheese and jalapeño jam which was seriously nothing like I’ve ever tasted before. Beverage wise the salted caramel in any coffee is incredible. Not too sweet either which is hard to find. They have a mimosa pitcher for the table, or singles if you’re looking for brunch cocktails. Phenomenal food and experience. Already booked another reservation for the new year.

Great food and service. We had the ceviche, Jamaican buns, wild boar, jerk chicken, and yrs leche cake. All were great. The ceviche and jerk chicken were my favorites. Service was outstanding - very helpful. Wish this were local to us - we would go again and again.

Perfect place for family and friends! The location was easy to find, everyone was so friendly. Definitely didn’t feel like we were in Austin! Felt like we were teleported to another place without traveling somewhere else. I don’t like being rushed when you’re trying to eat, enjoy each dish and experience the ambience and this place was exceptional.

Wonderful food, atmosphere, and the server was attentive and at the same time very down to earth and did not give us a feeling of being rushed. We've been To Aba a few times and the food is always spot on. Incredible flavors and presentation

The hosts where lovely and offered us the kitchen seating over the bar - such a cool experience! I Our server was attentive and the drinks came out quickly for all being craft cocktails! This was my partners first time here and after being sat for maybe ~ 10 minutes ~ we booked another reservation for next month! We got bone marrow, caesar salad, rigattoni, yukon potato's and the porterhouse! Our server did talk us out of the tomahawk which was smart, considering we have Turkey leftovers to eat but we WILL be trying it next month! Thank yall 🤍 Also a free desert and a card signed by all the staff for my partners birthday was such a cute touch! We'll see yall soon!
