Last Chance Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Illinois

Friendly staff. I asked for a very well done burger and it was. I appreciate that very much. The burger was good. The bacon on it was not crispy which was my fault for not specifying. The bacon was done just not the way I prefer. The hand-cut fries were good but very greasy. The bottom of the hamburger and some fries were sopping wet from juice from the pickles. Not good. The rest of the bun was nicely toasted. Prices were very good. $8-10 for a burger and fries. The biggest problem was that the place needed to be much cleaner. I touched the menu and had to wash my hands. The salt and pepper shakers, sugar container, menus, ketchup bottle, and caddy were gross. These things all needed to be picked up with napkins and needed badly to be cleaned. Whenever common areas are that filthy, I assume the kitchen that can't be seen is worse. This is too bad because the food was good and staff friendly. A.super-clean Last Chance would have received four stars. There was a descent crowd there for it being an off time of the day. There is an outside patio as well and two...

We had burgers and beers. I was disappointed at the beer and seltzer selection but didn't let it affect my rating. When we went in it was late for lunch and early for dinner. Majority of the tables were still dirty. The server said she was working alone and got behind. She quickly cleaned a few tables outside which is where we were going to sit but then changed our minds. I didn't want to fight the numerous flies for me food. She cleaned a few tables inside so we sat inside. The places was a bit frigid inside. We enjoyed our burgers they had great flavor and the portions of the sides served made the prices worth it. They are proud of their beers at $4.50 for domestic and $6 for canned seltzers. The kids menu is small with 3 options so we ended up ordering an $11 burger for our child. Guess we take half home. Overall good food and decent place. I'd go back but not a top...

Updated rating: arrived and seated at 11:40, by 12:55 our food had not yet arrived. We asked the wait staff 3 times when our food would be ready. Finally decided to leave and just pay for the sodas. The cashier was apologetic and said that the order was placed in the kitchen at 12:05, but the waitresses should have told us that it be an hour wait. Less that half the tables were occupied, so I'm guessing there was a problem in the kitchen. Eggs, toast, bacon, and pancakes shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Another family had not received their food for a long time too. Normally the service and food is good... but it sounded like they had not even started cooking because she made no incentives if we waited and said that we did not need to pay for the drinks. I might give them a chance but it'll...
