The brisket dishes are great. Full selection of beers. B and B fried pickles are the best. Staff is very helpful.

Hadn't been here in a while. Although past visits were average, this visit was excellent. Had a great beer selection which included an outstanding Lagunitas Willet Barrel Aged Imperial Stout which we don't see on tap very often. The Southwest Chicken Salad was loaded with charbroiled chicken and a tasty jalapeno vinaigrette dressing. The burgers and sandwiches are huge and everyone in our group was very please. Also, had a very good server...wish I could remember his name. It is a small place, but we've never had to wait long for a table. We will back again soon.

In Manhattan in 1965, there was no place where people could go out to meet friends and make new ones in an environment that was at once both relaxed and yet exciting. Then, Alan Stillman opened Fridays as a way, he said, "to meet Pan Am stewardesses." Sud

We met a friend here an hour before another friend's surprise birthday party at a nearby restaurant (across the street). We sat in the bar to order some appetizers and drinks. Our waitress took forever to bring us our drinks (soft drinks and beers) even though there were only two of us for the first 10 minutes waiting for our drinks. When our friend arrived, his beer also took a long time. I asked for the complimentary chips and salsa one gets with one's reward card...nope...never came. Refills on drinks took forever. Our food was served to us without any plates or silverware on the table. So we literally started eating our appetizers OVER OUR NAPKINS. We asked for plates and silverware, which we finally got after we were half-way through with our appetizers. Our friend asked for an extra cup of ranch dressing with his chicken wings, which he finally got...after asking three times and after he was done eating all of his wings. I've been to many TGIF restaurants and this is the absolute worst! And no, it was not busy despite it being a Saturday night, there were plenty of tables open. So what is their excuse?

This bar has little atmosphere, but great prices and service. The menu is bar food, but with lots of choices and nightly specials. They have their own label beer, which is quite good. While not a date night sort of place, it is decent quality at a very good price. We will return for the value.
5. Riverside Pizza & Pub Batavia
Reviewed By TDAuto
This restaurant is fantastic. Itâs located in the heart of downtown Batavia by the Fox River. Itâs only been open now for a little over a month & we have been there at least 10 times. That atmosphere is great & the Pizza is outstanding. Hannah & Katelynn behind the bar are outstanding. Definitely Recommend!!!

We've brought back the Neighborhood Pub! Everyone says they have the best food, but we are the real deal and Nationally recognized for it. We think you'll love it, but you be the judge. Here at Crosstown Pub we put our heart and soul into the food we make

First time here with a visiting friend from MI. Ashley was a fantastic server. She recommended food items and was simply a fun person. We ordered the breaded wings with blue cheese side, the 'pig me", the "dictator" and beers. Everything was very good. We had a fun time and will definitely go back.

Stopped at this popular location for a late lunch with friends. We were happy with the food, service and value. Seemed like a place where it's easy to find a menu item that you will like. The chicken salad on a croissant tasted homemade. The soup and salad combo was, as well. We will return.

Been coming here for years. They offer lighter fare along with amazing salads and fantastic sandwiches. No real entrees but definitely enough food to fill you up. The salads are my favorite. Along with a huge and extremely fairly priced Whiskey menu and rotating local draft selection theres something to drink for everyone. They craft seasonal cocktails using very unique flavors and ingredients. Definitely stop by and ask them what's new.Cheers!!!

GCH had a really nice beer selection, with multiple sizes for most draft beers, but I generally don't drink at dinner on weeknights. For my meal I had a chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mushroom, and mayo. It was delicious, as were the fries. Our server was wonderful. The atmosphere was nice, especially the covered porch outside (we didn't sit there as it was rainy). Prices were reasonable - Tuesday night they had $5 burgers.
