Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Carol Stream

The food is incredible every time I’ve been. We were celebrating a birthday and a bit disappointed when our server brought our check before asking if we wanted anything else. It wasn’t busy so we were a bit confused.

It was a fun luncheon! I highly recommend the Barrel Reserve. Yummy! Our group had gnocchi, Dana Chicken, Chicken Piccata and Grouper. All were delicious. We have been to several different Cooper’s Hawk restaurants. The food is consistently delicious!

Christmas day- they were slammed! We arrived early, had an additional wait due to the crowd. We met Jamie the bartender had some excellent drinks, great service- even tho she was also slammed super efficient. Got to our table and met Paul our server- who had already put in a 9 hour day (same story on Christmas Eve), who was super pleasant. He handled our table cheerfully and efficiently. Everyone was hustling in the restaurant but we were not made to feel unwelcome in ANY way. The staff was exceptional, I know how exhausted I was after our Christmas eve with the family and it was lovely to be waited on and cared for! We make a point of spending Christmas day with family at the Bloomingdale Jamesons yearly and are so GRATEFUL they are willing to share Christmas with us. The manager is to be commended- it's not 2 days it's a marathon! Bless you!

We had a group of four, one gluten free… our server immediately brought a gf menu and gf bread along with their delicious warm pretzel bread. Our appetizer of lettuce wraps was delicious and our meals were all hot and prepared perfectly.

We had never been here before. We were very happy with everything. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The waiter was friendly and efficient. We liked the way the window completely opened to the outside and we could see trees and the trains behind them. The trains were not too loud. The wooden seats were a little uncomfortable after a while. We enjoyed the ambience.
