Fantastic spot. Awesome menu, food was great. Get the Steak Sandwich, you're welcome. Service for lunch was wonderful. Would love to come back for cocktails, or try the whiskey menu. Can't wait to go back and spend more time there. Awesome!

I've been to this restaurant several times now. The walleye grilled sandwich is PERFECTION! EXCELLENT SERVICE EACH TIME. Easy to get to & so glad we decided to try restaurants in the area. It's not the same since Covid as so many restaurants no longer exist, so its very refreshing to find something not far away. The town benefits from the shopping prior to and after having lunch. Yorkville is now a place we don't hesitate to stop every month or so. Highly recommend!

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night and was seated right away on the patio. All the tables seemed to be dirty, but it's probably hard to clean those patio tables! This place has a very impressive drink menu! I personally didn't get any, but I tried everyone's at the table. The flavored mule (I think it was blueberry) was AMAZING! The canned beers (donut and caramel apple, I think) were good too. The one said they could serve with a cinnamon sugar rim, but it was just a can. We inquired and they said they had copied and pasted it from somewhere else, sorry. Okay.... The cheese curds were very tasty and holy cow, there were a lot of them! My apple walnut salad was bland. I think some cheese (maybe goat or blue) would have worked wonders for it. I appreciate that there were several vegetarian options on the menu to choose from though! Overall, I'd come back !

Had a great lunch here with my wife. The service was pleasant and welcoming. The ambiance was refreshing and what I was looking for in a place like this. The waitress was kind to ask the cook if the cook can still make a dish that wasn't on menu. And so they both were able to bring it back to life and serve us. Would recommend anyone to come here. Food is fantastic. Thank you!

Stopped in with my wife to try a new place. We began our meal with a couple cocktails. Then move to food, starting with nachos, then pivoted to a brat burger (for me) sliders for her. For dessert, cheesecake with raspberry drizzle. All in all, we enjoyed the food and the ambiance of the patio. While Frank strummed his acoustic guitar, we chowed down. The serving sizes are large and you will go home with food. Give BBS in Yorkville a try.

Beautiful facility. Greeted with smiles at the door by gorgeous hostesses. Seated quickly. Nice dining room and we were able to hear each other. Party of 4 We had calamari, cheese curds Wedge salads, 2 steak salads, steak sandwich and pulled pork. The steak on the salads was tough and grisly. All others enjoyed. Our server Lou was great. Very nice evening!
