Hidden Gem in the Western Suburbs

  • Breakfast Lunch and Dinner
  • Catering and Carryout
  • Private Parties

The Loon Cafe has been family owned and operated for 16 years conveniently located near the River Grove Metra station. This Wisconsin style Restaurant offers some of the best American fare in the Western Suburbs. You will always find several regulars congregating around the bar area having dinner or appetizers and enjoying a cocktail or one of the many beers The Loon Cafe has on tap. The menu consists of everything from hand made burgers to pastas and Fresh Seafood specials. Full Slabs of 'fall of the bone' Ribs are the special on Tuesdays, and the Saturday night special is the famous Bone-In Prime Rib. A new addition to the menu is our Homemade Pizza! We have a separate party room that will accomodate 25 to 90 people, and you have the option of Family Style or Buffet Style food service, perfect for any special occasion.

Wonderful, simply put... fantastic!

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...

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-...
