Reviews for The Back Door Lounge in Oglesby, IL
Service is terrific. Had the best Penne Primavera there and the fall sangria drink was amazing.
Walked in this place and was completely ignored. My friend was at the bar for 5 minutes and still no one acknowledged her. It... was at least 2 bartenders and waitstaff standing at the bar. Read more
Sat at bar and chilled with friendly staff. Manager Manuel rocked. "The place you really go when you say you are hiking."... Flourless choc dessert is awesome. House beer with eagle nice. Made by Lienies I think. Also, breakfast buffet next door a greatdeal. If u sit outside, the view is fantastic. 5 years later, Jake does great job serving. Benches at bar still hurt to sit on.Great beer. Limited menu, had read ahead online was hoping for strawberry salad. Couldn't watch my football game. Love theenvironment. Will return again. Like visiting old neighborhood. Read more
Nice atmosphere. That's it. Go somewhere else to eat. Small bar food portions. Not worth the price. Bad and slow service.... Everyone that works there seems unhappy to be there. Read more
My wife ordered the same meal as me. Fried chicken meal. She was brought Salmon. When we told the water he said I hate how... noisy it is in here but did take the price of the salmon off the bill. Anyone that knows my wife know she does not like fish! She was not happy! Read more
I ordered a salad to provide nourishment to my body the other day. With some of the best views in what otherwise is a state... flatter than a pool table, this was something I was looking forward to more than Bill looked forward to Monica visiting. Butwhat helps tie a salad together? Like the velcro on my shoes. Dressing does. When my salad came out I noticed there was littleto no dressing on it. Not a big deal so I simply asked for some. Apparently there is a dressing shortage because the response Iwas met with made it seem like I requested her to feed it to me as well. In the end she bought out a cup with what would equateto the pee on the edge of a toilet worth of dressing. Maybe I?m in the wrong for wanting (more) dressing. However eating like abrachiosaurus from oxfordian age wasn?t appealing. Read more
Stopped in to grab an appetizer and beverage after our hike. Good craft beer selection. Outdoor seating has beautiful views. ... We tried the battered cheese curds. At first we were a little leery that the curds, which are cheese, come with a beer cheesesauce. They were both amazing and went great together. Read more
Very busy place, had to wait a bit for service but food was good. It was nice to relax a bit after a long hike around Starved... Rock. Read more
