Birch River Grill – An American Kitchen

Always love to go here. the food is good, the restaurant is quiet (very nice for business meetings held over lunch) and the lunch service is always amazing!

Our Host, Waiter, Bartender, was beyond excellent! Great experience for Christmas Day!

I always enjoy my meals at Birch River Grilll. Unfortunately the chicken was forgotten from my BRG mac and cheese which is creamy and delicious. My husband liked his club sandwich. The soups, fish and seafood are always good as is the reuben. The ambiance is nice and the restaurant is well-decorated. There is a bar and lounge area. It is adjacent to the Hilton property on Algonquin at Arlington Hts. Road.

Fabulous food and extremely professional service. They even made me fish tacos with chicken instead upon request.

Bad experience overall started with nobody at the host stand. After 10 mins we got someone at the bar to seat us. Server was pleasant, but just an order taker. We were a transaction, not a table of guests to be taken care of. The food was at best bad. No seasoning. No care. Over cooked all around. Chicken. Steak. Salmon. All dry and subpar. Apparently there are no dessert options, as we were given our check without dessert being offered. Bottom line, we won’t be back.
