Nobel House — Restaurant in Geneva Township

Edit #2: The restaurant atmosphere has completely changed. They moved into a new (larger) space next door to the old one and in doing so seemingly has lost a lot of its neighborhood pub feeling. Now instead of just a few TVs with various sporting events over the comfortable bar, it's loud cavernous and is more a sports bar feeling than a lovely neighborhood bar. The food is pretty good, but there's definitely been a decline in quality since opening a second location and the Geneva location move. Also, they don't have as interesting of a manu. I know it's not fair to compare a place to how it used to be, but it has been a long time since I was there and now frequent the many other options I have.

This has become my regular go-to place to hang out and enjoy a drink and a meal. I cannot tell you how many times I have been here (although I'm sure Google can tell me) and I have tried almost everything on the menu and I love it all! Some stand outs are the burnt ends (delicious meat candy) and the lamb burger (something different they do really well!) and the North Carolina sauce. I also love their sides. Their veg sides are amaze-balls and I eat so many Brussels sprouts from here. The fun part is that this place made me like beer. The bad part is that I've had too much and have to stop drinking it. So much to recommend here!

Original 4☆ Review: I like the large selection of beers on tap plus their food is consistently good. Service slows down during the busy times, but it's generally a good...

lactose intolerance ((cheating)) review

Went here for a bite after a long day of home remodeling. I am lactose intolerant and this place is one of my favorite spots prior to me developing intolerance. So after so much work that day I needed a treat and I wasn't going to let my intolerance stop me from getting a reward from a day of work. Taking a pill or two makes eating lactose tolerable for me.

We ordered the smoked poutine as a starter. It comes with cheese curds, fries, and smoked pulled pork. It's amazingly savory and salty. We all really loved it. I took a pill before eating this and picked out the cheese.

For my meal I got my favorite Nashville hot chicken. It was amazing. The chicken breading, sauce, and bread all have dairy in the mix. I took a second pill before eating this. This Nashville hot chicken is amazing. This is early one of my favorite sandwiches in all of the Fox River area. It tastes tangy, sweet, smokey, it has a kick, it's great.

I also had one seasonal beer.

The place has been remodeled since I've been there last and I was amazed by how nice it looked. They've done a great job. The dramatic portrait of Alfred Nobel in the front is amazing.

In all the food was great and so was the decor. The place was packed, for good reason, and my stomach felt fine.

Everyone is different when it comes to lactose intolerance so take caution if you are. For me, I was okay with 2...

I have loved Noble House for a long time. I was looking forward to supporting a local restaurant for a carry out order. My family and I are looking to order from curbside restaurants only, and since on Google Noble House says this option is available, we were excited to eat their food again.

My husband and I pulled up to the restaurant, and there was no place for pick up orders. We had to walk into the restaurant, which made me uncomfortable. When we walked inside, it was crowded, the only people wearing masks were the staff. There were no empty tables, no single patron was wearing a mask, not even those waiting for a table.

We had to stand there and wait and try to get the bartenders attention in this extremely crowded bar. I understand that restaurants are in a tough spot, but to see Noble House make absolutely no effort to adhere to any sort of Covid Restrictions was extremely disappointing. Obviously you don’t need my business to survive as your restaurant was packed to the gills, but I’m sad to say I don’t think I’ll ever be coming back. 4,000 Americans died of Covid yesterday, and while I get that restaurants are in a tough spot, the fact that you couldn’t make space for your patrons who would rather support you through carry out than inside your restaurant, says to me you don’t want my business anyway.

So for anyone trying not to catch Covid, maybe dine...
