EXCELLENT SERVICE! FRIENDLY SERVERS!
Chicken parma was from a frozen meal. Not homemade.
Service was mediocre and uninspired. Food was not exciting. Fish fry was soggy. Shepherd's pie was ok, but portion was small for the price. Salad was great!
Our Server was so Attentive and helpful. Her recommendations were right on.
Good attentive service from Brandy. 3 of us had burgers, and they were delicious!
First visit to this establishment. Loved the atmosphere, selection of beers, quality of food and friendly staff. We will definitely be back!

Waitress Brandy was fun. A bit overprice, but good value with discount.
Excellent customer service but the food was awful. My $17 shrimp dish was dry and tasted like it was microwaved. It literally came out a few minutes after ordering.... no way they cooked it in that time. Just very generic/okay food.

Disappointed that they changed French fries. Pleased that they use eco friendly take-out containers.
My salmon was overcooked....a little burnt and dry on the edges. Good flavor, though. My husband’s shepherds pie arrived cold....actually cold and such a tiny portion.
We were seated in the bar and the service was a bit slow.

Delicious foods and beers! Hard to decide what to order and enjoy!
I love the fish and chips, especially with tater tots instead of french fries.
We always sit in the bar area which is cozy and comfortable. Not a big fan of the restaurant area.
We had drinks and ate at the bar. Drinks were good, but the service was not that good.
Food was not what it used to be very disappointed with it.
Yea to paper straws. When are to-go containers going to be eco friendly?
Our server was great, she suggested items that were delicious!

We were told we couldn’t have caramelized onions on our sandwich but bless we wanted sautéed peppers mixed in with it. Odd for a pub named the onion brewery.
Birthday celebration with friends. Server was great and brought out birthday cake at end.
Waitress did a great job on this busy Father's Day.

Food good and good value with resterant.com. Waitress seemed like she did want to be there. Did her job, but not friendly until bill came.

Excellent waitress. Interacted with our kids and they were very happy with it. Good food and drinks.
Burger great, French fries really good, southwest salmon different but good. No salad with entree. Came with rice and carrots.

Menu has changed since we were last here. They don't offer bread with dinner or choice of sides when we ordered the steak dinner. Had to take what came with it. If I didn't have the Restaurant.com certificate, I would have been very disappointed with me meal.
The bar tender and drinks were great, but less than satisfied with the food. Fish taco's had what appeared to be fish sticks, and the prime rib dip did not have much flavor

Waitress was great, very accomodating, personable. Nice atmosphere, quiet, food was good.
Service was a bit slow. Wrong side served with meal which was corrected, but ten minutes later. Steak in menu was not available but replaced by a daily special steak which was not special.
My husband and I ended up being seated at a tiny table right next to the bar. The bar was crowed and I had wished we were seated somewhere more private, but the waitstaff was very attentive and the food was delicious.
we waited a longer time than normal for our food to be delivered

My husband got the Lobster Patty but it was a very small sandwich and he said he would consider that more of an appetizer, not a full size sandwich.
Good food, good atmosphere to connect with friends.

Wonderful food, great drinks, terrific and knowledgeable wait staff
We were waited upon by the bartender and he did a fantastic job.
Food and drinks were great and so was the service - as always. Beautiful place.
We had such an excellent lunch, watched the Bears game. Our waitress was very attentive.
The server was excellent. Thanks for participating in Restaurant.com
Our server Ken was awesome. Friendly & listened to us talk.
The food was amazing and the service was equally as wonderful.
Our server was extremely slow and did not appear to be happy to serve our table. We waited a very long time to order and she was not very attentive. The restaurant was very cold and loud. Tables were way to close to each other. The party behind us bumped my chair three different times.
Great service, great food. Nice dining experience.
They were very nice and accommodating we added people when we were at the table
Been coming here often over the last few years and noticed the food wasn't as good last time. Last night the food was awful! Veggies overcooked, potatoes undercooked, and the chicken was like rubber! Will give them another chance but not for quite a while.
The food was very good and the staff was friendly and attentive.
Waitress didn't really spend much time making us feel welcome.
Nice atmosphere, wide selection of home brews, and good food.
We sat at a table in the bar area; wasn't crowded to in right away
Haven't been in years, food went down hill. Pleasantly surprised food was awesome. Ordered special of the day.
Beautiful restaurant, dry burger, food just ok. Music loud for a families with kids.
Sat in the bar area. Noisier than sitting in the actual dining room. Tried some new menu items. Some were better than others. Prices reasonable. Good amount of variety on their menu. Good portion sizes.
Cheerful service. Good food. Everyone enjoyed their meal.
The food is delicious, the atmosphere is friendly, and the staff is pleasant.
Our server was just great. The food was very very good. no wait time.
Frequent visitor Reuben "Sandwich very poor compared to prior experiences Bread hard on one side and too soft on other. Meat dry. Service was very poor. Had to look for waiter several times to get drinks and or food order.
we had a great server ... but the place is not kept as clean as expected
Everything was good but the salads were very average at best.I would stick with the sandwiches,dinners and apps.
The service was wonderful, the food was excellent, everything great!!

Nice atmosphere and specials looked good. Staff a little slow, but over-all enjoyed our dinner
good food, good value, waitress was average - not very attentive. never offered refills or a second drink. rushed a bit to order.
Great food and server. I think his name was Ken. He's always perfect!
Great food great service from greeting to waitress Shannon, very upbeat and attentive. Food was delicious !! PLUS and this is huge for me, the French Fries were great too, cooked crispy and hot!!!!
Food was alright, but service was terrible. The server never checked on us. Never asked if we wanted more water, never asked how the food was. She also messed up our appetizer. When we got the correct one it was cold. Also took a long time to get the bull when she clearly saw we were ready. We noticed other people were having the same trouble.
Hate to complain but the rice served with the shrimp kabob was cold. Did not say as to ruin,
The burgers were good,the sheppards pie was kinda soupy and small for the price,i think a bigger portion or maybe a saiad with it.The place was rustic and cosy.
Very delicious food and wonderful environment.
We love this place.... good food, good service... nice people~
Waitress was awesome and service was really good.
GREAT BARTENDERS
Great place and good food
Our server, Ken, was very attentive without being intrusive. Food is always good. Thanks for participating in R.com.
We both had the salmon and it was delicious! Our waitress, Shannon, did a fabulous job! Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience!
Awesome food and service! Can’t wait to go back!
Better food that in the past. Very good service.
The wings are excellent. The barbque sandwich had very little meat on it. It was mostly cole slaw and the bun.
servicelacking
Food is Large Portions and High quality Items very tasty enjoyed my meal and will return. Staff is very attentive Many choices on Menu and all look good.
Great waitress, Brittany, great food and great service.
The food we selected was very good. Our server was excellent. The manager came to our table and welcomed us.
We both enjoyed our meals with the exception of the undercooked asparagus and the waitress was wonderful, attentive and very accommodating !
The serving size on the Hummus appetizer was smaller, & my chicken sandwich was so salty, they had to make me another one!
The menu variety was average. I expected a few more expensive menu options but it was casual items. The service was good and the food was excellent.
My husband was amazed how much meat was on his Rueben sandwich. My Southwest Salad is one of my favorites. The pulled pork was delicious and generous. Shared a new dessert tonight. Triple chocolate mousse cake with fresh strawberry slices, whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate. Yum! While it doesn't appear very large, 3 of us shared it and were satisfied.
Food was good. I liked the old menu better. Very casual. Service was excellent.
Attentive service, excellent information regarding questions of items on menu. Honored our seating request, and happily accepted our coupon. This coupon is hard to come by, as it is continuously sold out.
Very polite and courteous. Food was very hot and everything we ate was delicious
Great service. Great food.
My friend didn't really like his margarita

We had the best server. His name is Devon. He anticipated our every need and he had a great personality.

Menu had gone through changes since our last visit and two of our favorite items were gone and the changes weren't as appealing to us.
Fish and Chips were our favorites.
The waitress was friendly, informative and helpful. The wine and entrees were wonderful.
great service, great food
nice selection of different dishes. Not just burgers
The waitress was friendly and helpful. Everytime we asked her for water she would gesture to the one she set nect to us while we were talking.
Great service our waitress was fun, attentive, timely & extremely accommodating!!!!
We were seated immediately upon arrival. Our server told us the specials and took our drink orders. When she returned with our drinks, asked if we had any questions. Offered to take our order. Our food was cooked exactly as ordered. We have several diet restrictions, so it is very important that our orders are correct.
Food is great and the service is always good
Great food and drinks. It's not a quiet place, though. Sitting at the bar is a little better for conversation.
The salmon was excellent
Service great. Food hot.
LOVE this place!
great food and service
Nice feeling & server was great!
The fried calamari appetizer had fried onions and green and not much calamari .....
Nice clean place /decoration. Very pleasant server. Typical pub food menu. Portions good size. Good taste.
Has lost the special menu items that made it stand out. Now just a neighborhood pub for the Barrington set.
Staff friendly, service great
Server was awesome
Our waitress was super!! Can back lots of times to make sure our meal was satisfactory!
We always enjoy the friendliness of the staff as well as the good food. The hostess opened the door as soon as she saw that one of our party was in a wheelchair - both as we entered and as we left.
Nice environment; diversified variety menu; great bar selections too.
Not happy with menu changes
Good service and food. Bar area very noisy.
The new menu was disappointing. Food quality has gone down.
restaurant staff were all very attentive food came quickly
Food was excellent and waitress was extreme pleasant.
Great time
Always love this place
The food was very good, we like the atmosphere and we had a very friendly and likable waitress.
not crowded where we were seated so it was rather private dining
Excellent food at resonable prices. Awesome Reuben sandwich
Excelent service, and ambiance!
Food and service was excellent.
The food and drink at the Onion Pub is outstanding! You have to try the French Onion Soup!
Onion Pub could consistently delivers great food and exceptional service! I've been there close to 100 times and have never had a bad experience.
Great ace for food and drinks
Our server was knowledgeable about gluten free and very attentive to our needs.
Our server couldn't have been better, she kept her eye on our glasses making sure they were never empty, brought boxes to our table prior to our asking and boxed them for us. A real pleasant treat tonight.
A diamond in the rough. Service is very, very good and food (PRime Rib) was cooked to perfection.
The food was good BUT later in the evening I way VERY thirsty which tells me that there was a lot of salt!
The food was so good and the people were so friendly. Their French onion crock was the best I have had
Food was good, atmosphere casual & server pleasant and efficient
Big storm came. Took food to go home.
Bread for sandwiches was very mediocre. Multigrain option would make it far more interesting. Or something fresher rather than out of a package.
Did not like the beers on tap.
Everything was great but it got very buggy near the end of our meal. Citronella candles might have been helpful to keep the mosquitoes away.
The food was delicious w/a bit of variance in the selection. My blackbean burger w/avocado was excellent along w/the coleslaw which had to be made in house. Server was extremely pleasant as well!!
Family visit from out of town. Good variety of food choices, very good service and appropriate infant and toddler seating was provided.
Good food and good service
Prime Rib sandwich and onion rings were great !
Brad our server was Exceptional. Fish and chips the best!
fOOD IS Always good. Missed the speciality menu.
Food was superb! 4 had the fish/fries/coleslaw. All agreed one of the best they have had. 1 Ruben, very happy with her choice! 1 had nachos, plenty on the platter & delicious. 1 salad, I'm a fussy eater, waitress was great and took some things off and added what I requested, I really liked my salad & I was so happy that the waitress was so upbeat & didn't mind changing anything. Wish we had gotten her name. We sat outside on the patio overlooking the water. We all will return & pass the word on!!!! (We came from Mc Henry & Hoffman Estates)
Small crowd but too long of a wait for order to be taken..
Great place for outdoor dining!!
Always great service. Food very good. Brew selection huge with over 15 available and great tasting.
Great food and atmosphere. Steve was a great server. Fish and chips mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Atlantic cod was excellent. Prime rib tacos was marginal. Meat tasted old. Service was great. Craft beers very enjoyable.
The food is very good, and the price is reasonable. Staff is personable and efficient. Atmosphere is casual and welcoming providing a pleasant dining experience.
Food is always Fantatsic! Alex our server was GREAT!
Loud. Undesirable music.
My husband loves the fish and chips. The southwest chicken salad was excellent. The chicken was delicious. Our friend had the pork barbecue sliders which he said he really enjoyed. It was also a environment which was easy for conversation. My husband is hard of hearing and the noise level was comfortable even though the restaurant was quite full.
The prime rib was not up to par. Not tender as usual. AuJus tastes like watered down beef broth. No flavor.You are the only restaurant in the area that serves COLD corn muffins. Yuk. Veggies & potatoes great
Service was great...food was delicious.
Excellent food and service
We all loved the changes to the menu. The food was excellent.
Terrific fish entrees
Waiter was outstanding and the food was great!
always a good experience, friendly staff, never to pushy to get us in and out, the food was good, and a fair price, But i missed the lamb shanks, but look forward to going back soon
ordered chicken wings large order and bonelles came out. they replaced correctly very promptly. server was great
FOUND PRICES VERY REASONABLE FOOD GREAT SERVICE THE SAME
Nice atmosphere. Excellent service.
My pasta dish was way too salty. I have had it in the past, but this time not so good.
Enjoyed the atmosphere. My friend and I each ordered the fish and chips. She had 4 pieces and I had 3. Fish was fried too long. Good slaw and fries.
Food is delicious, service is great, and the value is fantastic.
Bar area was too crowded with workers..
Server was very nice and accommodating to a special food order
GREAT COZY ATMOSPHEREWILL BE BACK AGAIN TO TRY THE TRIVIA WED
Friendly Staff
Awesome reubens and love the pumkin ale!
Love the place
My wife ordered a white wine that unfortunately came with bright red lipstick on the lip of the glass.I don't know how the bartender and the server missed that. Then.the one steak item on the menu they did not have.:(
The wait staff is always friendly and very assertive to our needs.
Great server, pretty good food, mega quantities
It was much better, something has changed for worst, quality of food does not compare to before , selections for dinner poor,not as good.
The panning was excellentOur friends ordered the fish and chips, which were great with generous portion.
We always enjoy going there although there is almost always a banquet or wedding reception going which can make it tough to park.
Great staff. Shout out to Karen at bar
Really great seasonal beers to go with any taste and compliments menu items well.
I had asked for a mid burger I received well done nothing was done to our check. Second the watiress agreed and said can I get you another burger I said no I don't want my husband to wait till I get my food and his food gets cold.
good service in the bar. helpful, all food and drink came out in a timely manner,both our dishes were excellent,
The outside patio is just great
waitress was very pleasant and food was quite good
Food was out of this world!
Shannon was AWESOME!
We sat on the outdoor patio. It was very nice! Had very good waitress and good food!
Great people serving you and happy customers everywhere.
Food and service was very good
The French fries were very salty.
Good food
Steve was our server and was excellent, Helpfull, friendly. Could not ask for anyone nicer. Really recommend this restaurant. Am planning to look into planning for our neighborhood luncheon at this restaurant.
Generous portions, friendly servers, beautiful building, both in & out. I'd suggest that they serve fresh "wild" salmon instead of frozen "farm raised".
Atlantic Salmon was moist & tender with lots of flavor. My wife ordered the Pecan Chicken which was also a great meal. Small by very tantilizing menu of great tasting dishes.
Always great Reuben sandwiches. Great nachos and as usual lots of food! Service was great and specials 20 ounce beers very good.
Great atmosphere, service and food!
the dining area was very noisy
food very good, service excellent
Everything was served hot and crisp! Loved the Cole slaw! Large portions! Drinks were filled without asking.
Good food, good servive, but over an hour wait!
Atmosphere is nice. Waitresses shouldn't be wearing black t-shirts. There was a wedding going on and the staff helping had on black t-shirts, some of the guys had on button up shirts, that would look nice for the ladies too. If that were my wedding I wouldn't have been happy. Also our waitress wasn't the friendliest either. Food was excellent! The man who brought out the food was very nice! Would've rather had him as a server. Over all good.
Heather was really nice waitress
Wonderful Super Burritos!
Atmosphere great. Arrived at 7 on a Friday night and only waited 5 min for a table. Large portions.
Free valet parking was a nice touch because the parking lot was crowded and it was below zero. Excellent atmosphere inside--warm and cozy. The service was excellent, friendly, and attentive. And, the food was delicious!
french onion soup has always been delicious!
Great service..great food...great ambiance
food is excellent & good portions every time we go! wait staff attentive.
Our server was especially friendly and efficient. She check often to be sure we had what we needed and that everything was to our satisfaction. The food was delicious and plentiful.
Great service and food!
Great place.
The food is bar food, but very good
Great food, Great service, Great value, what else could you ask for. I haven't had everything on the menu but I've never had a bad meal. I recommend the French Onion soup and any burger or fish & chips.
food was good and hot. Burger and fries were great.Music was way too loud. Hard to carry on a conversation with my table
attentive waitstaff, great food
We got there early and got our favorite corner booth...they HAD Begger's Brown tonight (they were out the last two times)...had a very attentive waiter Zack, and the chef made me broiled salmon which wasn't officially on the menu
Ate at the bar! Service was great!!
Love the food just a little loud for us.
Fish&chips,very good
great brews... "zambone" :)
Medium rare prime rib dinner always a good choice. Very friendly service.
They redecorated, removing all booths and had only tables with uncomfortable hard back chairs - not good for me with my back problem. Then, the menu is woefully short of entrée items, with a definite emphasis on casual and burger like items. I did not care for the flavor of my "special" margarita. Finally, the fish on my fish and chips entrée was overcooked and very dry. It also was very bland, necessitating the use of salt from a plugged up salt shaker,
Very friendly and great atmosphere
Thank you very much for being part of the Restaurant.com program. Much appreciated!
Food was good. Waitress was very good. I made an error in the total on the bill, after the tip. The waitress advised me that I had overstated the total. I gave her the extra $10 in the tip for being honest!The restaurant was a little noisy. Speakers in the bar area carried over into the eating area.
The food was decent and the prices were actually very reasonable!
Very crowded they don't take reservations. Wait staff were swamped and a bit slow
Great.service ,food was great.
Excellent service. Nice atmosphere.
The food was excellent. The service and ambience was good.
The waitress was a little dippy forgot our drinks and several other requests we asked for but in all fairness it did get quite busy.
Great service, great food , clean, comfortable atmosphere
Waitress provide very good service. Food was very good.
Food was not the greatest for two of us, actually disappointed , waitress was very good.
The food and service is always very good. The bar is great.
always have a great time here, great service, food is yummy and fresh, site is clean and organized, love love love the Onion
Everything excellent but Reuben Sandwich had a slightly old cooking oil taste. Still ate it but was not up to your usual quality.
Seemed to be short in staff
Prime Rib tuff
We went for Dinner not sandwich. Wish for more items for full dinner.
we arrived right before kitchen closing time and they were very kind in accommodating us without rushing us out the door.
waitress was fast and attentive, food was great as always, restaurant was busy with wedding reception but we were happy
Waitress very good at here job.
always great food, great service!
Nice atmosphere, good crowd.
A good meeting place location-wise for meeting friends from that live more northeast of us.
very good wait person who took time to explain different beers and made us feel welcome.
We ordered the large size caesar salad, more than enough for 2 people. To our surprise, they put one pretzel roll on the plate. when we asked the waitress why there was only one roll for 2 or more people she said it is their policy. We told her how ridculous that was we expected her to come back with another roll. when she didn't we again expressed our disbelief and told her we wanted her to relate it to her manager. Apparently either she did not, or the manager could have cared less, because he/she never appeared at our table. NEITHER DID ANOTHER ROLL That was our second time here, we will not be back
large portions, fresh ingredients, service great as usual, even with large garden party going on, we were well attended.
It took a while to be approached for the first time table touch for drinks
Schelleene's. Service was SUPERIOR. COULD NOT HAVE BEEN. FOOD WAS CERY GOOD FOR ALL FOUR.
good food, good service
service was great
Great food. It is always a good place to go. Interesting menu
atmosphere was great! sat outside on the patio overlooking the lake and waterfall. mosquitos were somewhat bothersome, but worth the inconvenience for a while. onion ring appetizer proved to be a solid choice and the standard onion pub burger was the best I've had in a while - simple and great. will definitely go back.
Good food with excellent selection of ipa's on tap.
our waitress was excellent. She was attentive without being over attentive. Food is always good.
menu was more limited, since our last visit, less dinner type menus.
Our waitress..Patricia D..was especially awesome. Prompt, courteous, accommodating, patient, and kind. We have had her 3 or 4 times now and she is always the best and should be commended!
Poor service.
We were a group of 7 women meeting for lunch.Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and the portions were very generous.Our waitress was excellent, very attentive.Five stars.
waitress a little slow, she must have been busy.
1/2 price brew on Thursday is a nice feature. Always a nice atmosphere. Can't wait for the al fresco dining to become available!
Consistently great service and food!
Fun place with good sandwiches and home brews.
Food and waitress were wonderful. We were seated in the bar area and it was noisy making conversation difficult.
Onion soup is so good. And their panini sandwich is amazing!!!
Food and service were very good!
Waiter was friendly and food was timely.
This was our first visit and believe me it will not be our last! The food and the sevice was outstanding!! We can't wait to go back. Our waitress Patty was such a gem!!
When their back patio opens, it's a nicevenue.
Brandy our waitress was great..:)
food was good, but service was not
We have never been disappointed in a meal at the Onion Pub. We would eat there more often if we had a better dining out budget. Our waitress actually remembered my daughter from a visit quite some time ago.
Food was good, but server was excellent!
Food was good, but server was excellent!
Burger very salty
I was a little disappointed that the pecan chicken was different. I liked the old recipe much better. Everything else was delicious. The chocolate cake....out of this world!
The food was verry good and the service was excellent.
Food was good, service was mediocre.
great food at a great price and some great tasting brews
waited for 1/2 hr but worth it
Bartender was great. Service with a smile. Can't say the same for the host and hostess. They were more interested in talking to each other than helping the customers.
The med rare burger i ordered was cooked more well done and the bun was dry. the sweet potato fries had pepper or something with a hot spice on them. i asked the waitress for a box for the leftover food (for the dog )and it took her quite awhile to return with one, so i sat with the plate of food in front of me. We were also seated in front of a drafty window, for which we had to leave our coats while we were there and close the drapes..and needless to say left there with the chills and a stuffy nose and am now down with a cold..
Fries were reheated and still room temperature. Onion Pub Burger OK, have had better. Beef barley soup very good. Service on the slow side.So loud in bar area you had to yell at each other to be heard!!! Table close to bar - every time waitress went by crashed into one or two people at our table! NOT Acceptable!This was our second visit. Next time would elect to be seated in dining room like first visit.
waitress did not visit our table very offen. My husband waited till the bill was delivered to get a beverage refill.
the server was great
Excellent service, delicious food, nice place
service was excellent, food delicious. Had prime rib and it was exceptional.
great food, great service
Food was very yummy and reasonably priced. Good waiter and nice atmosphere with fireplace.
Need a more exciting menu, food was very bland and boring.
The Onion Pub is always a good choice - usually great service (his time wasn't the best), and good quality food. Great atmosphere too. I love Restaurant.com however I have a gift card that I tried to use on line and couldn't figure out where to enter the number so was unable to use it much to my disappointment.
Our server, Heather, was excellent. She was cheerful, prompt & the food was delicious.
Everything was great. The food was excellent and the service was excellent as well.
waiter was efficient and non-intrusive
The grilled chicken sandwich could have been the best I've ever had! My son liked the pulled pork sliders too. And my daughter loved the macaroni and cheese.
Food was great, service was great!
OUR WAITRESS WAS JUST ON TOP OF EVERYTHING..SERVICE SUPERB....... THE FOOD WASWELL PREPARED AND ADDED SUCH A FLAIR TO OUR TASTE BUDS....
Great food, atmosphere and service! We will for sure return here again, just sorry we haven't visited here sooner!
Great food, great service!
Our waitress was very accommodating and the restaurant was very busy.
We enjoy the ambiance which is why we purchased the certificate.
Nice atmopshere. The food was excellent.
Great place, would like to see more steak choices.
our waitress was very pleasant & attentive without being in the way
Our waiter was great! The service was fast and efficient. The place was quiet and the ambience great.

ALWAYS a pleasant experience !!
Portions were hugs at a reasonable price and very tasty.
AWESOME server ....food was EXCELLENT as usual @!
Good experience, except for the the sandwich. The corn beef was very dry.
good food and service was great
Pleasantly surprised at how good the mussels were. My husband dug right in and ate mine as well. There were plenty! I and he too would go back just for them.
Since the remodel and re-staffing the food has been exceptional and abundant. Always a very satisfying experience
Great atmosphere, service and food.
Good food. Great service. Great atmosphere.
some confusion by wait staff about combining bar tab with meal tab to reach required spending for coupon. Bartender said we should just order more deserts and forget about the $15 tab we had at the bar. Our table waitress straightened it our but having the s was embarrasing.,
My wife ordered the pork tenderloin (one of the specials) and was extreemly overcooked, unable to eat. Explained to the waitress and stated she will let the cook know and hopes we will come back and try somthing different next time.
Food was good service was bad. Server Brandi took our order but after that never came around to check on us or offer refills of drinks .When we were done eating we sat there waiting for her or anyone to clear plates but no one approached had to ask busboy cleaning table to go get They should have someone checking on their guests
Bruschetta was great!!
great atmosphere, service and food
The service was exceptional, as was the food.I would highly recommend Marcello's to those who want good, and plentiful food at a moderate price.
Ford was excellent, service was very friendly.
Good service. Very good food.
There was a wedding that had just finished when we arrived and many if the guests were still in attendance in the bar, which was where we were seated, so it was more noisy than we would have liked for an intimate dinner for two. The hostess should have considered that before seating us. My dinner (prime rib) was a little tough for that cut of meat and arrived cooler than I would have liked. The pepper/rub of the meat was a little overpowering, and was also present in the au jus, which detracted from the meat itself. The garlic mashed potatoes were very good. My mixed drink was a little sparce on the alcohol (amaretto).
Great menu, waiter and food!
The fall menu specials were terrific - very tasty.
Both the food & the service were great. We had to sit at the bar & both asley & the other woman were very attentive.
The staff and chef are very friendly and accomodating..which make the whole experience that much more positive. I had swordfish tonight which was a tad tough (overcooked) but I didn't complain because we love the restaurant as a whole so much!
Everything was good but steak ordered medium was overcooked.
Prices are right, food is great
Food was very good. When we first got there we were the only ones sitting on the outdoor patio. Quite a hike for the waitress but she was very gracious and pleasant throughout the entire meal.

The food was terrific. The service wonderful and a very nice place.
Excellent food, large portions
Very accommodating..I ordered something that wasn't on the current menu but has been in the past (grilled salmon) and they were happy to prepare it. The food was excellent, the waitress was excellent..awesome overall experience.
The menu is too limited and the appetizer we had (calamari) was very disappointing but the main courses we both had were excellent.
Service was great. Accommodated our special request. Food was very tasty! Very enjoyable.
This is one of the finest "boutique" brewries in the country. Totally complimented by a wonderful and carefully thought out selection of food, prepared by an exceptional craftsman in the kitchen. We enjoy every trip we make to the ONION. Highly recommended to people who enjoy a casual dining experience with exceptional food and craft beers.
Service was a little slow
Food was very good. We had the sausage appetizer - was very tasty - definitely different than the usual appetizers. I had BBQ pork shank for the entree - never had that before - vary interesting and very good
Prime Rib special always a very good choice.Service also very good.
Very good waitress
I love this restaurant I love the ambience I just love everything about it the food good drinks it is just a wonderful place to go out to eat
service was very slow and poorfood was mediocre at best
Everything was wonderful, from the time we arrived to the time we left! We were greeted, promptly seated and instantly waited on. Our server got everything right the first time! She checked on us regularly and did not rush us at all. The food was delicious and plentiful. Excellent value for the price! We will definitely return!! And Frequently!
My husband had the Reuben which he loved (and hasn't had much luck finding a good Reuben, so good job). I on the other hand had the tilapia with artichokes which was just OK. The artichokes were nothing special and just overwhelming...could hardly find the fish underneath them. Would not order again.
Liked the restaurant's look, but the food we ordered was only fair. Next time I will order a sandwich; they looked good.
A bit hot where we were seated against a wall
The noise level was very distracting
The food was excellent. Our server was attentive but not overpowering.
Unique setting..was seated right away. The service was attentive and the food came out in stages to allow for actual dining. The rueben sandwich was one of the best I have ever eaten.Great selection of craft and seasonal beers.
excellent service, beverage selections and food except for a rather tough and grisly prime rib.We will be back but will not order prime rib again.
This pub is always good and the crafted beers are good as well.
The Onion Pub & Brewery has everything you could want .......good food, drinks especially the variety of beers - Safe GLUTEN FREE food, outside seating near the waterfall, and places for big groups - the room next to us was set up for a wedding.
great service and server recommended nice menu suggestions
Server (Patrick B) was great. Food good too.
Excellent service,great menu and delicious food.Fish was prepared with a perfect sauce and vegetables were fresh. Look forward to returning.
Waitress and staff were awesome!
Our waitress was a pleasure. I believe her name is Heather.
Very noisy.
Very noisy.
Had a couple of the brewed beers and they were really good. Food was outstanding. Service was excellent and friendly. We will go back.
although very busy, timely service anad pleasant staff
Waiter was excellent, very attentive and efficient.
Great local microbrews and very good food in a cozy rustic atmosphere
Good value, prices were not unreaso a le, and excellent, friendly service. Having few restrictio s is a big plus also
Waitress was awesome. Food was excellent. Drinks were great
Menu has changed since we have been there...food was good
Had a great meal, service was excellent
Had a great meal, service was excellent
Nice pub to get together with friends!
Our server was wonderful and very attentive the food was amazing, I had the burger and it was perfect. our group tried a few different beers and all of them were amazing!
a little to busy for the amount of staff
Everything was great, but I thought my food (the pork shanks) were a little bit over priced.
Visited restaurant a month ago good experience returned again ordered the steak which was good last time this time the worst steak I have ever had wife enjoyed the mussels
The wait staff was very nice.
We always enjoy the Onion. We don't get there as often as we'd like, it's a bit out of the way location wise.
My daughter is on special diet for her epilepsy - you are always so accommodating to her needs!
Great pub food
Service was outstanding as well as the food.
This was great! I'd never been there before but will definately be back, thanks!
The menu had a range of food choices from delicious burgers, to sliders to full dinner meals. Everything was delicious, service was perfect and the atmosphere was charming.
Server was very knowledgable about the menu and super friendly.
The wait was pretty long but was not really a issue as it was good people watching. The host and hostess were training a new girl and I sure hope this new one learns to smile because as far as a first impression, this young lady did nothing for the restaurant! Our daughter is a hostess at a restUrNt in the area so I do know somewhat what I'm talking about.
smoked pork chop was the best ever
Food was great and the service was good.
My son had the polish sausage sandwich; a large piece of sausage cooked perfectly.
Our server was wonderful.
Our grandson requires gluten free options and the waitress (Patricia D) was extremely helpful and kind to him and very attentive to our table in general
Menu changed. Steak was very tough.
WE always enjoyed dining at the Onion but this time it seemed that the food was pretty bland and thrown together without much thought (salmon, red cabbage and potato pancakes)? No salad or bread before dinner, I guess everyone is cutting back.
this visit, the food quality seemed to have gone down. The sausages were greasy, as was the crusted mac and cheese. The sandwich bread was hard. the calamari not grilled. No flatbread/muffins for the table, veggie burger was dry. Excelllent service and excellent entertainment made it a good experience, but not the food this time.
It would have been excellent, but we were seated right by the kitchen in the back at a small table and the workers were collaborating there.
Food was excellent! Server was attentive, not overbearing. Nice atmosphere too!
Waitress, decor, food were all great. Howeverwe sat in the bar area at a table and many ofus were annoyed by someone loud and obnoxiousat the bar. The manager tried to quiet himdown.
Fish and chips very good, drinks okay, atmosphere too noisy.
The nachos were very good and there were plenty of them
Our server, Monica, was excellent. Very attentive and very friendly and made our dining experience a wonderful one.
Mashed potato and broccoli were not hot but still tasted great. That would be our only complaint
door guy texting, young ladies/hostess chatting forgot to tell our server (Monica, who was very nice)she had a table, dinner took 2hrs, food was good just greasy, the pub itself is beautiful!
The service was very lacking! The actual server only saw us twice, once to take the order and the second time to give us the bill. The manager is who brought the food and cleared the table.
Tables were a little close the waitress had some trouble getting through. The lighting was a bit bright but the food was good.
Service was excellent, food delicious.
The food at the Onion Pub is generally good, but a bit overpriced. The Restaurant.com certificates help make it more reasonable.
Friendly service and good food. Causal atmosphere.
Great food, great prices!
The food was not very good.
I do not think it should take 25 minutes to get a bill and have it processed after a customer has asked for the bill and is clearly ready to leave.
Chedder Bear Soup was excellent
The dining room was much too cold! The food choices were not very good, 1 fish, 1 steak and lots of chicken.
We ate outside and enjoyed the ambiance. As it became dark, the lights went on and it was beautiful and relaxing.The servers were very friendly. I love going, but would love additional items to the menu that were a bit healthier and original.
Food was excellent! Portions were very generous. Service was excellent!
all was good, except we wished we were seated away from the bar. People at the bar were so loud we couldn't hear each speak at our table. We will try the restaurant again but request to be seated somewhere else. Alejandro was a great server too!
Terrific server, great menu selection
Food is amazing and the micro brew is awesome!
fish fry is excellent and plentiful. Service and all staff pleasant and efficient.
the food was phenomenal as was the service. I highly recommend it. also they had a band which was great as well. Great time all around.
The parking lot was full so we appreciated the valet parking right off the bat.
The chipotle bean burger was one of the best I've ever had!
Wish you had a better entree menu. Larger full meal selections instead of mainly sandwiches.
Desserts very similar and heavy. Need some innvative entrees.
We enjoyed a very pleasant meal. The food was very good and plentiful. The service was excellent.
love the patio and we like to go there to sit on the patio, which means we need to go during the week because of parties being held and the patio not being available.
Good food, service and atmosphere. Beautiful restaurant. Would have liked to sit on patio but too hot outside.
Great food and if you like beer a fantastic variety to choose from all brewed in house.
Love the remodel they have done, the place is so open and spacious now!
Corn crab soup was bland, tasteless. Fish fry was good. Server told us the cash register might not include the wine toward our minimum of $35.00, which is not as advertised. They did count the wine.
the hamburgers were great, but the rueben could've used less kraut
Great atmosphere...excellent food (huge portion) friendly staff.
please bring back the oyster slider .Great beer..
Kind of a small menu selection. Great beers & soups to try...
Our server was very cheery and attentive. The decor is beautiful in the restaurant. The menu has been changing and so we have not been there in awhile. I would like to come back, though.
drove by when they opened
Do not like that soup or salad is not part of there meals!
Food was cold, steak was ordered rare, but was close to well done. Tilapia was the strangest looking ever
Attended several birthday parties there and also came on a tour of Sanfilippo.
way too expensive for what you get. 8.00 for 4 onion rings is crazy.
very pleasant, Server Shelleen was attentive and friendly, made our dining experience very nice.
2 of the 3 meals were very good. The steak entree though, was absolutely gastly!It was the sauce/brew it was basted in. It was not touched.
very happy with verything
Food good. Priced a little high
Food wasn't as good as remembered. Also seemed odd meals didn't come with salad or bread.
New menu since we visted last. Everyone liked what they ordered. Last time we were there, we were placed in the banquet area, it felt like a cafeteria, and the service was poor. Huge improvement since last vist. WIll visit again.
food was great we all really enjoyed our dinner see you again THANKS
Don't care for their new menu. Alot less choices and nothing special. Most of it was stuff that I would make at home.
did not like that they included the gratuity with only having 2 people in the party and they put 20 guest. did not ready anywhere that they add the tip for you. Felt that was wrong
Dawn the bartender went out of her way to accomodate me and get me set up with a table outside.
the menu on restaurant.com was not updated, the restaurant has a new menu and many items were discontinued
We have been to the Onion Pub on different occasions. Location is close to us.
excellent food and atmosphere. will go again.
exceptionally good food this time! Patti was very nice.
This a really great place to dine and drink.
Burgers were excellent. Our server was very kind, but appeared new to his job. Love the new menu. Looking forward to summer months and sitting outside!
Food delicious. Steak done to perfection.
Too noisy; food too greasy and salty;
The service was very very slow
Great Service Great Beer Decent food!
Haven't been in awhile. The menu seems very small, and not a lot to really choose from....:( We ate outside, that was nice...
This was a very enjoyable evening sitting outside, enjoying a bottle of wine and eating delicious food with a very attentive staff.
not a huge menu
Better than ever
They've changed the menu...took off the breaded pork chop, which was the best thing on the menu!!
Great service!
We were very disappointed in the menu choices for dinner. We were looking for a nice dinner, not a sandwich.
Wait staff added 18% gratuity to our bill, perhaps in anticipation of us not tipping on the original amount prior to the gift certificate amount being removed. Too bad, as they did not tell us ahead of time and we had to figure it out for ourselves. We had intended to tip 20% plus, but left with only the 18% pre-added gratuity.
Our server-his name was Alex was excellent. Very thorough and attentive to my husband and I while we had dinner. We look forward to coming back when you will have your full menu. i had the fish and chips and the breading was perfect-not too much!! The tarter sauce was delish; My husband had the paddy melt and stated the meat was very good! Thank you for a nice meal out after a long week of work!
The food was good, but our server was very slow and there was only 1 other table there. This is also the 2nd time they didn't tell us gratuity was included in the bill
used too much salt on some of the items when cooking
Limited menu for now during renovations but same great beer. Going back when the new menu is out.
Limited menu due go renovations.
The Onion was undergoing renovations so there was a limited menu. We plan to go back when they are fully open.
Very limited menu they were closed due to remolding and have not reopened completely, had we known that we would of saved our coupon for another time, it was too far of a drive to turn around and leave.
called ahead to make sure they were open, and was told only the bar area was open. was not told there was only a very limited menu though. was disappointed there was only about 5 items on the menu.
They are in the middle of remodeling and it is looking beautiful. The middle of March they will be done and we will be going then so we can eat from the entire menu. At this time they only had burgers and sandwhiches. But it was really good. My husband liked the beer selection. It was great! The wait staff are also freindly.
I enjoy the onion Pub and LOVE their beer. I can't believe they still had some solstice joe on tap. . .the best beer i have had since the first day of summer. . :-)
Fun time with friends. We want to get together again at The Onion Pub and are looking forward to your full menu.
We had a wonderful meal...thank you!
The entrees are excellent and the service is equally good. However, your appetizers are very weak. We had the bruschetta last night and it had no flavor. You need to add either some basil and or olive oil for some flavor intensity. Also, we previously had your guac and chips and it was by far the worst guac I have ever tasted. It was worse than being from a can. I don't even think it had avocadoes. So, in summary the entrees are good, really good but the appetizers need some serious work.
The asiago gnocchi was so rich I could only take 3 bites, and had to order something else. The humus. That was good. Myy guest enjoyed his burger.
We were mildly disappointed when we were not informed by waitstaff there was an up-charge for caesar salad ordered with our sandwiches and did not get potato/side offered with our sandwich.
Nice atmosphere, love the patio in the warm weather. Will possibly look at their facilities if we ever have an occasion for a banquest hall.
We had a wonderful server
We had been before, but not for a while. None of the three of us were thrilled with our meals. Everything was just ok.
The calamari was overcooked, but the breading was good. The burgers are awesome and the side salad was delicious.
The Onion Pub has a very nice atmosphere, and the food was good. Kathy, our server, made us feel very welcome. I enjoyed her easy going personality.
Was comcerned when first arrived as there was not place to park. The parking lot was full because of a wedding and not that the restaraunt was overcrowed. It ended up being great. Nice quite meal with great service, good food, and never rushed.
Not so much the server but how long it took to get our meal. This is 2 times that we had to wait over 45 minutes.
Very nice atmosphere/
Disappointed they have raised the ante on gift certificates...may not be going as often as we have in the past.
Ribs were not hot, baked potato crunchy in spots, and service very slow at an hour that was not busy! Had to ask for rolls. May consider returning since my experiences before had been good.
Best cheese soup I EVER had!
Very good experience & service.
Great Atomsphere and good food.
The food and the service was excellent. We had a relaxing and enjoyable time with our friends at the Onion Pub.
kobe beef sliders tasted awful. Chicken on nachos was awful tasting as well although the rest of topping was good. Fish and fries were greasy. Service was slow. will not patronize again.
Always a great time and meal at the Onion. Our server Erin was terrific and of course the beer is very good. We go maybe 6 times a year. Well worth the visit.
When we pulled up there was a sign stating valet parking.We waited and noone was there.We just parked the car ourselves.Long wait for the food and a longer wait for the drinks.The waitress had to bus the table.I thought this strange in a large restaurant.The waitress was very good and very nice.She must be use to this.
Entree selections were all pretty heavy. Two of us had pork chops described as lightly breaded. They were heavily breaded, deep fried and smoothered with gravy. Please have a few lighter selections and describe accurately what you order. Loved the red cabbage and beer we ordered. Would prefer to see beer prices on menu. We will be back.
We visited the pub originally due to meeting Brendon a local beer tasting. We really enjoy the food and the atmosphere!
Excellent Reuben Avg. Pulled pork Waiter's offer to taste new beers was very helpful. Exterior of rest does not reflect the quality of the establishment.
The food seemed better than it has in the past, a pleasant surprise. I would take my family again, Pumpkin Ale was delicious.
great beer
I will definitely go back...I had been there twice before last year, but forgotten it until I got my certificate....
beer is great! food is good but i havn't found anything on the menu that i couldn't get better some where else.
We like that we can use our certificate, and only have to order $35. to use it especially if there is only 2 of us that night.
Food was good and enjoyed the beers
The Onion Pub & Brewery has excellent on Tap beer that they brewed themselves. Food was also excellent. Great for kids also. Thank you.
For our family, we feel the menu is lacking & it's always difficult for us to find something that looks good to us.
Great restaurant,we'll be back!! great pumkin beer.
The food, ambience, waitress were great. Very enjoyable experience. Parking was tight - need to expand. When I walked inside and said hello the hostess just stared at me, as if she was expecting me to do something - odd.
great place to hang with friends, good food
My husband enjoyed his salmon dinner. My salad, with steak, however, was less than memorable. I've ordered this item off a variety of menus and this was the worst I've ever had. The caesar dressing was wimpy and the tiny pieces of steak were hard to distinquish from the croutons in the salad. I can't even tell you what the steak tasted like.
The Onion has a great atmosphere and fairly consistant food. Service is unfortunately lacking. It seems to me that they don't have enough staff to accommodate. Our server was good, but seemed to have just WAY too much going on. I don't fault the server, but more so the management.
great patio
This is probably the nicest restaurant in Barrington. Great food at reasonable prices. The servers are just the best. We will be eating there for a long time to come.
Food was very good overall, rueben was great. Restaurant looks great. Will be back.
I am a regular at the Onion, so even if the coupon was not available I would still go. But, I go more often due to the coupona nd choose the Onion over other restaurants if I do have a coupon.
The service was very slow, painfully slow but the food was very good. We had to keep asking the waitress for the same items several times before she remembered. It was busy but we got there before it was hectic and the staff had time to put out candles on the tables and yet the service was still slow.
The service was very very slow.
Pricing is getting too high for the food delivered and beverages served. Quality of the food is decreasing. They need to bring quality up or lower prcing. There are far better restaurants in the area. We have been visiting this restaurant since they opened and see a very identifiable difference in food and service.
great atmosphere, good food, good service, we will definitely be going back!
It was an excellent dining experience and we will definitely go back to The Onion Pub & Brewery.
Great place for outdoor dining. Elegant patio. Feels like Italy.
Dinner choices were a bit limited, and the food was brought before we had eaten our soup and bread. Otherwise it was excellent.
Lovely patio area.
Very clean, friendly staff. Drinks were great
We dined with 2 small children at 5 pm and didn't leave until 7. Food service took a very long time. We needed to get in and out and that did not happen.
Great server!
The food was very good and the waitress was excellent
Nice bar service - was doubly pleasant experience as we happened to arrive on a night when there was a PAWS benefit.
I was given a gift certificate for restaurant.com and selected Onion Pub. We had never been there but it was close to home and in our price range. We liked the restaurant and plan to return in the future.
Our server, Patty, was great. My wife and I both ordered specials. They were very good. I was very impressed the prices.
we don't remember the servers name, but she was a gem. keeping us informed on when the food was coming, refilling our water constantly and just being very upbeat and sweet. i think her name started with a P, like Patty.
Great new chet. The food was even better.
We like the food and atmosphere of the restaurant very much but the location is far so we don't get there very often.
