Hannah DanielsSeptember 25, 2013Really enjoyed my visit to The Lucky Monk. I will definitely be coming back! Food was great, waiter was very helpful, and they sell their beer mugs!
Dana WegenerSeptember 26, 2014MN foodie says: excellent beer and food! The portion sizes are large, so split something, unless you are a college student and have a lg. appetite. Wish we had one in MN. Took a growler home with me.Upvoted 1 week ago
Derek HofferOctober 22, 2014The pizza was pretty delicious. $8.95 flight nice to check out their beers. Not a lot of strong beers, Belgians are their forte'. They also several rotating taps
Maegan SmithJanuary 10, 2015Been going here for about two years and have never had an issue with anything! Our faves are the crispy eggs, the beet and goat chz.salad, patty melt, along with other burgers, pretzels and doughnuts.
Great food and custom beer. Get the Trappist Trio and you'll get three of their best sides for really good price. Burgers are excellent as well as their chicken Parmesan & Twisted Chicken sandwich.
Spicy ketchup is actually spicy. Also try the Caesar salad... I know not typical for a burger joint but it's very good. Also if your looking for a beer look no further than the fallen angel.
Chris HerbertMarch 14, 2014Amazed at how good everything is here. The grilled cheese burger is a definite must. It is a little expensive but you definitely get what you paid for. Serving sizes are huge
Bill LewisDecember 7, 2018Loved the Chocolate Shake beer. LOVED the Mac Attack! The meat was seasoned so well and the mac bun was very crispy. Not a hand burger though. Needs a fork!
Max MossOctober 29, 2014Great food. I've had the Hot Head burger and the Santa Fe Chicken Salad. Both great. Haven't tried the beer yet though. There was a disappointing lack of real monks.
Robert SimmsJanuary 7, 2012Great food, peppercorn ranch burger delicious, don't screw it up with medium well stay medium. fried pickles super and cheap. Very much enjoyed this place, but also try onion pub in lake barrington.
Straight-forward brewpub. Good food. Best appetizer Trappist Trio - truffled fries, fried pickle slices & onion straws. Burgers, chicken all good. Beers are great! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Chicago TribuneJanuary 23, 2015Beer may be king at this suburban brewery, but the Cafe Monk — combining Fireball Cinnamon whiskey, coffee, Kahlua and Frangelico — shouldn't be ignored. Read more
I got engaged here! ! It was the location of our first date, and a year later. .. he proposed! ! Excellent service, staff and food!
Donna SmolakSeptember 15, 2016Excellent with cheese, sweet potato fries could almost be a dessert, also bloody Maria and Malbec wine what more can one ask- Pretzel trio is fantastic. Burgers are consistently great. Their beers are good, too. Very nice outside seating, especially if you're under the pergola.
Kathleen LeMaireMay 7, 2017If your a party of 2 (over 21) you can avoid the wait if you sit at the bar. You can order from the full menu too.
So disappointed. Tried the chicken Alfredo last time I was here about a month ago and it was awesome. Was looking forward to getting it again and it's no longer on the menu.
Brigette K.February 25, 2016The herb chicken sandwich is the best meal. Otherwise stick to apps and get the Bloody Mary! Yum
Always expect great beer and amazing food .. Burgers are great , the out door seating has a great view many don't know about.
Michael CantelonApril 18, 2014Burgers are large and tasty, but expensive. I did not try the brew but I'm told it is very good. Worth a try for a beer or burger connoisseur.
The food is great. Either make a reservation or know someone who works here / work here yourself to get a table.
The food is so good, we keep coming back, even though the service is always unbelievably bad. Every time. Not sure why we keep doing this to ourselves.
CaitlinFebruary 14, 2016Highly recommend their burgers. And their southwest salad is one of my absolute favs
Patricia Holland-OttSeptember 26, 2013After 6:30 they get really busy and its hard to find parking...so come early or make a reservation online
Anastasia AthansAugust 7, 2016Starters are incredible! Great staff, very accommodating and excellent service!
Great patio and fire pit to enjoy the oh-so-brief Chicagoland summer.
Try the spinach & goat cheese burger. To die for !! And don't forget a nice pint of beer!!
Bhairavi Tanna ThakkarApril 28, 2013Margherita Pizza is delicious! A Vegetarian delight! Add jalapeños for that extra kick ;)
Matthew GesseJanuary 18, 2015Tritica House Brew ...smooth and amazing....great place to hang ... these monks know their beer ;-) #luckymonks
Brittany SittigOctober 23, 2013Cheese curds amazing! White truffle fries amazing! Pretzels are huge!!!- missreccamaykOctober 8, 2011Great burgers and skirt steak! Ask for medium. Absolutely aaaamazing!! Parmesan truffle fries are to die for!
The New Year's Eve balloon drop & meal for kids was a success and a great value.
Shannon FreeSeptember 11, 2013Best damn burger I've had in a while. Of course the beer was delicious as well
Chris MarchandAugust 26, 2014Pickle chips are awesome! Rest of the menu needs work. Burgers are pretty good.
They give you a lot of trouble if you have an out-of-state ID and demand additional identification.
Aly KellyJanuary 5, 2013Monk burger is delicious. Chocolate Covered Raspberry Martini left a lot to be desired. It tastes like watered-down chocolate milk with a hint of vodka.
Jennifer DrinkaMarch 6, 2010The BEST place to go before/ after a movie @ AMC South Barrington 30. Try the Tritica ale (like Blue Moon, only better) and the triple mushroom pizza. Read more
Matt KennedyApril 12, 2014Screw the table seating, hit the bar and get their sampler, it will be the best decision you made that day, after deciding to brush your teeth.
Pickup a growler of any of their fantastic beers. The Tritica and Confessional IPA are my personal favorites!
