Great food and service, but the seating is a bit tight with tables so close to each other. The high tables make it a bit roomier. If you have peanut allergies, be aware that they are served at all tables near the bar area, with many shells on the floor.

First time of many more visits. Dogs was good. Wide variety. Great music.

Cozy, convenient, and consistent are three descriptions I’d use to describe Country House. The food is quite delicious and the menu rarely changes (for the better)... The length of time this location has served the community, it’s become a bit of a popular place, prompting reservations or a wait if you don’t plan ahead. The steaks are quite nice, fish choices are seasonal, and the regular dinners are a perfected craft of choice cooking. I’d recommend nearly anything and you will most definitely enjoy the generous portions.

Very cute place. The service has always been great. I really enjoyed the Salmon Sanwich and my husband liked the French Onion Soup.

This place was exceptional in all ways. I came here with some coworkers on the Fourth of July. When we first arrived, it was quite busy, so I was excited. Luckily, a couple seats at the bar freed up and we were able to all sit together instead of taking a table. Our bartender was incredible. She took not only a full bar, but made drinks for the rest of the restaurant and kept up conversation with us. I was recommended the Top Drawer Burger by her and it was fantastic. This may sound weird, but it didn’t even taste like a burger in the best way possible. It was like a melt-in-your-mouth rib-eye. Juicy and very tender. The price was a bit high, but in this case, it was worth it for the best burger I’ve had yet. The atmosphere was great and the other patrons were super friendly, which was just an added bonus. The 30 minute drive was well-worth it. I can’t recommend this place enough.

First here for a late lunch. I got the mini burger sliders and the beef was perfect, not overcooked and dry. My mom had the chicken dumpling soup and shrimp. She didn’t have one complaint like she usually has about a place. Waitress was quick and very pleasant. Will definitely return.

The food here is absolutely delicious. I came here on Mother's Day with my 2 boys and husband. We all ended up trying a little bit of each other's meal, and no one was disappointed. Do get the onion rings! The waitress was wearing a really fun Rock n' Roll mom t-shirt which was personable and she was really sweet! It didn't bother us because we are a small family, but the place is small, so no big gatherings.

Only have few hours until we fly out so opted to split the side. Steak fries were amazing, angus burger was cooked exactly how I asked. Atmosphere was the perfect relaxed environment I needed to end our day in Chicago. Will definitely put on my visit again list!
