The company receptionist sent me over to this place to test it out for some big-wigs who were planning a dinner meeting next week. The ambiance is very "Meh, I've seen better." It was pretty much a...

I wanted to like this place. When I walked in it had a rustic, north-woodsy feel. I liked that. Unfortunately, that is all I liked. I ordered a Filet, er, tried to order a Filet, but was told they...

They used to be good, very good. They are nowhere near good these days. When you're greeted by a dirty, greasy menu it's kind of a turn off. Things only get worse from there. A server would have been...

I've been here about five times in the last couple of months (was just introduced to it) and I have to say I'm impressed. The prices are pretty reasonable and the food is quite tasty. I've only had a...

What a place! The Northwoods ambiance is relaxing and interesting. I went in expecting the menu to reflect the decor, and man was I wrong! Fish, Steaks, Pasta, Great Daily Specials. There was not a meal...

We used to enjoy the Loon many moons ago. They used to have a great food and service. I don't know what happened. The last two visits were horrible and we will not be returning. Our last meal...

The Loon is located in River Grove, just down the road from my far Northwest Side Chicago neighborhood. I've been coming here for years. Nothing fancy or stellar, just always solid. Nobody on the NW...

We went there for breakfast and at 11 on a Sunday the waitstaff was still moving a little slow. Their menu for breakfast is not large by any means. I was going to get the breakfast burrito and they...

First time and last time impression. Food was not good. Burgers are frozen! Lasagna was just ok. Drinks came quick and the rest took a long, long time. Over 45 minutes for an appetizer (potato...

As soon as you walk into the Loon Cafe you are reminded of a North Woods bar. Tucked away near the River Grove Metra Station and surrounded by cemetaries, the dark wood paneling gives it a cozy, Wisconsin-...

My grandmother-in-law's favorite restaurant, I find the food at The Loon consistently overpriced and terrible. Steer clear of the seafood -- it's not fresh and tends to be on the rubbery side, though...

I usually try to check into the "Loon Cafe" about once a week or so, after all I am considered to be a regular there. This last time I went to the Loon I ordered the "usual", a buffalo chicken wrap on...

An okay cafe. It has basically anything an ordinary cafe has. The prices are pretty reasonable. The food here isnt the best in the world, but not bad either.
