Flatlander's Restaurant

Do NOT waste your hard earned money at this place. I mean just look below at all of these reviews!! The place is the pits!! Service sucks, food sucks, and the manager has the IQ of a flea, Not to mention the place stinks of stale beer. I eat out with the wife every Friday night, and this place has got to be the worst resturant we have ever experienced in Chicagoland. I only gave it a 1 star, since a 0 star is not available. more

Calamari was salty and rubbery. My daughters drink glass was dirty. The jambalaya was tasteless. No need to go here again. more

I recently had the misfortune of dining at Flatlanders. From the minute we walked in, the service was entirely indifferent. Even though the restaurant was almost empty, there were no waiters or anyone else for that matter in sight. I was dining with a vegetarian and ordered some potato skins as an appetizer. I very clearly and specifically made mention of this to our server and asked that the skins NOT have bacon on them. So what did we end up getting? Potato skins with bacon! Totally ridiculous! When our server wasn?t too busy ignoring us, he did make mention that the cheese used on our food was ?processed yellow matter.? No big surprise. The food I had was completely tasteless and uninspired. Granted the manager did come over and offer a free appetizer but at that point, I had enough. The food completely sucked and they apparently were unable to follow simple instructions. Why would I want free garbage? Pros: leaving without heaving Cons: food, service, ambience more

I'd like to consider myself to be a person with first-class taste. Myself and family attended Flatlander's for their New Year Event. We made reservations for 7:30, and were seated promptly. The ambiance was festooned for the holidays and a roaring stone fireplace made for a picturesque evening. We ordered the surf and turf for the adults and hamburgers for our little one. The food was impressive (to temperature), the service was great and we even got a brief tour of the micro brewery. I will without doubt endorse this restaurant to contacts. Pros: Beer fresh from the Brewery Cons: n/a more

A group of 6 of us took the hotel shuttle over to Flatlanders because it sounded cool. Upon arriving, the restaurant was virtually empty, which was surprising for a dinner hour at a brewhouse. We should have turned around then, but we kept with the original game plan. Pros: Beer Cons: Service, Food, Atmosphere more

This was a disaster. Few diners on a holiday weekend and we gathered with a family group of 15. Initial contact was pleasant, however at the time of our reservation the proprietor was surly. Lack of staff apparently complicated the ability to serve a group of 15. Food really was overpriced and poor. We spent over $400. Never again for this place. Pros: spacious Cons: no privacy, poor quality food, Menu was much too amb more
