Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Palatine

The burgers are delicious and hearty. The brussel sprout side is crispy and tasty. The smokey Old Fashioned was really good. Spears is a feel good, laid back restaurant.

Really like this place. The greeter was extremely accommodating, paid close attention to our requests, and placed us at the most desirable table for our group. The server was proactive but not overbearing, and the food was terrific, as usual.

It was my first time here and I would definitely come back. The food was pretty good. I finished my bison burger and sweet potato fries. They had really good drinks. I had their lavender refresher. It wasn’t too loud or crowded. We were seated right away. Our server was great. And they didn’t kick us out even though we didn’t realize we were the last ones there after closing. Overall good experience.

Our server was excellent! Quick service, no errors in order. He took care of 11 people at our table! We saw a surcharge on the bill. We questioned it & found out it is an extra charge corporate adds on but we were able to get it removed. I did have a coupon that allowed me a free cheese pizza if I bought a 16" one topping pizza. When the bill came I was told that the manager did not approve a free pizza since we got there & did appetizer ordering at Happy Hour even though some also ordered AFTER the Happy Hour at full price. This was very disappointing.

The atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly. Our server Bianca, was personable and attentive and willing to engage with us. I was looking forward to a good corn beef sandwich and I wasn't disappointed. The food was served quickly and was hot and flavorful. And there was a lot of it. We all had leftovers to take home. It got a little noisy as the night progressed, but you'd expect that on a Saturday night at an Irish Pub. This is one of my favorite restaurants and we're sure to return.,
