Worth

About the restaurant

Krapil's the Great Steak, a Worth, Illinois staple, serves sumptuous steaks and other classic American fare. It is simply a suburban oasis. An unexpected serene outpost that transports you away from the city hustle and bustle to an old school Northwoods supper club surrounded by giant pine trees. The food is classic supper club fare with some modern twists. The Prime Rib dinner and The Fish fry are staples that will not disappoint. The menu is rounded out with steakhouse specialties and is supplemented by a hospitality level you more commonly found in a downtown restaurant

Krapil's also has the premier patio n the south side with live music on the weekends. There are plenty of private event opportunities available both inside and outside and Krapils has menus to accommodate every occasion and budget.

We were immediately seated, and a server arrived promptly. There was no rush to order and we needed a little time to decide. We both ordered a flight of wine, one white and the other red. All of the wines were very tasty. Our catch of the day tacos, a Mahi fish, were good. The turkey meatballs and mashed potatoes were also good. The sliders were also good. We finished with a glass of wine.

I enjoyed the Lemon chicken with spinach and capers. Also the holiday drink menu was fun and delicious! Others, at my table enjoyed their pasta dishes and fun cocktails. Was a bit loud and hard to talk but enjoyed the evening. Food is always good here!
