Emerson’s Ale House - Mount Prospect

Amazing food lineup. All the sandwich items that I've tried have been over the top. The owner, George, makes sure your experience is 2nd to none. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed!

Geat food, great drinks and a cool place to have a good time! Highly recommended!!

The first time I came here was with a few friends as our wives had a ladies night. None of us had been here and it was a Wednesday night and it was busy. So we sat at the bar and got some drinks. While waiting for a couple guys to arrive we ordered some appetizers. We asked the bartender for her recommendations and she suggested either the fried pickles or the Italian beef egg rolls. My buddy said he hates fried pickles (and pickles in general heathen! and he was not interested in the egg rolls. So he got cheese curds and we got the egg rolls. Holy cow! The Italian Beef Egg Rolls were awesome. Even my buddy was pleasantly surprised. Next we got dinner. I got the Pretzel Prime Rib Dip Sandwich. Juicy, flavorful, crisp bun, aioli with a slight kick...all hallmarks of a very good sandwich...which it was. My buddy (who doesn't like pickles the heathen! got a burger which he said was one of the best burgers he's ever had and that our Burger Club will have to revisit just for everyone to review. Another got the Buffalo Salad and another got the Ale House Fish Chips. We all loved our food and vowed to return. And return we did! We went back a second time and got the Italian Beef Egg Rolls again (because awesome and also got their wings: BBQ and Hot Honey. Both are good sauces and worth the trip to Emerson just for them. Our Burger Club has been as well and we rank their burgers as some of the best we've had and we've been to over 30 places all over the North Shore, Northwest Suburbs up to Kenosha, WI. I highly recommend visiting Emerson Ale House and trying whatever they recommend (or what I recommended as everything is great ther. Oh, and I have tried the fried pickles and they are really, really, good.

Food and service is great. There are certain group of people who go there are disrespectful, despite a chair that was taken with a coat on the chair they insisted on trying to claim the spot. Very rude and disrespectful crowd. Very unrespectable people crowd. We love the place but don't like the crowd that are there.

My wife and I visited this place, today, June 1st at around 6:30pm. Kamren, Heather and this host kid are not professional and have no customer service skills, at all. kamren and Heather yelled at me for trying to move a table. Heather was behind the bar while yelling. Both were extremely rude. It was a really bad experience.
