At Work Sports Bar — Restaurant in Elk Grove Township

Came to At Work on a Bears-Packers Sunday matinee. I was very delighted to find ample seating without any wait. One thing I did note, the entire restaurant was attended by one waitress. She was super nice and accomodating, but she could've used some help. Loads of TVs here and even as I excused myself to visit the washroom, there was a TV waiting for me in there too. Considering that it was gameday, the order was obviously going to be wings and pizza. These wings are absolutely fantastic. Described as "beer brined and fried". Very meaty and large. We had Mango Habanero and standard Buffalo. Mango was the preferred flavor of the table but buffalo held its own as well. These are 5 star wings and left no doubt that I'll return for them. The pizza (pictured below) was just average maybe even a little below average. 1 topping 12 inch thin crust for 10 bucks, fair enough. Kind of an dense crust without much crunch. The taste of mozzarella was actually overpowering and took away from the pizza itself. They didnt charge extra for chicken. Big plus for me, even though I likely won't order it again. The Cobb salad (pictured) was ordered in our group and looked surprisingly fresh and loaded up. I don't remember what the third picture is except the sweet potato fries unfortunately. Our waitress brought several pitchers of water to the table for us. Another big plus for me. Even though the Bears lost, a good time was had and a new wing destination was established We'll...

Today 7/19/23 I would give zero stars. Last week was not any better. The ONLY reason I go is for trivia on Wednesday. Over the past three years I have noticed a steady decline in food quality and waitstaff attentiveness. Food is inconsistent. The same dish on one day may be excellent and on another day be awful. Not only is the waitstaff understaffed but they spend all their time behind the bar and ignore customers seated at tables, especially if they do not order alcohol. Today they even forgot napkins. They also need to wear some sort of uniform, even if it's just a T-shirt with the bar's name. They used to have them years ago and even gave them away as prizes for trivia. The manager Mike needs to be a manager and supervise and direct the staff; in particular to make sure they circulate through the dining room to check on all customer. Members of our trivia group arrive at different times but after the first ones are served the staff does not notice that others have joined. It appears that they seem to think that because they have attended our table once that they do not need to return. I have read many of the reviews that were written 4 - 5 years ago that were positive. Today At Work does not come close to matching those old reviews. Poor service, inconsistent food and an ineffective manager are going to ruin this...

Don't judge by the outside!

My buddy and I were looking for a place to eat on a Saturday night and this place popped up on Google maps so we took a ride over there. From the outside, it looked like a bar attached to a liquor store, not a place we would enjoy eating at.

I judged it immediately and wanted to find somewhere else, but my buddy thought we should at least look inside. Boy, am I glad we did! It was the perfect blend of a nice sports bar combined with a restaurant. Plenty of seats at a very nice bar, and plenty of tables.

This place is bigger than it looks from the outside. And it was much nicer than expected. Pool tables, dartboard, stage for live music (most Saturdays), and great food! We had the Patty Melt and Reuben. Both were toasted perfectly and were delicious. Our waitress suggested the fries as our choice for our included side and she was right. The fries were fantastic. Price was great too, Around $9 for many sandwiches including a fresh pickle wedge and fries (or other choice).

And last but not least, the wait staff and management were very friendly and attentive. We put this on our list of places we will be sure to come back to. As I mentioned, don't judge it by the outside. Take a chance and go in. You'll be...
