Hawthorne's Backyard - West Chicago

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant. A few years ago, we visited this restaurant with my mother-in-law when she came to town. Her favorite dish is the 7-layered carrot cake, while I enjoy the ribs and sauces. The rest of the family enjoyed everything on the menu. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Seven years ago, we held our wedding at this restaurant. We enjoyed a wonderful time on the back terrace before the dance floor was set up. Our guests all praised the food and service. I didn't even need to worry about mingling with the tables as the staff took care of everything, including serving the cake. It was a truly unforgettable experience for us. The restaurant offered a wide variety of eating options and a large open bar. Our party particularly enjoyed updating their drinks, thanks to the bartender. I was grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the terrace in my lace dress. Despite the uncertainty of rain, the staff planned everything in advance. With great prices and a memorable experience, this restaurant is perfect for any event or celebration.

Great eating and fun relaxing atmosphere. we had a party here in one of the outside tents that celebrated a birthday and the staff went beyond and beyond. thank you for getting our curse balloons and keeping all drinks orders! I was not even home after hosting this party on hawthorne’s, and I had lyrics on my handy of friends and family say how fun the party was there!

Nice outside seating with small fire pit, sand volleyball and bags. Live entertainment on Friday nights. Prime Rib Sandwich, Pot Roast and Ruben are favorites. Prices are fair and service is good.

Great service, the bartender was a sweetheart. The kitchen wasn’t open yet and she made us some wings and cheese curds . Had a Long Island ice tea and it was very good. Would definitely recommend.
