My group of 4 went to the Shanty this past Saturday. We had a small wait but was WELL worth waiting for! We were in the horse room. The atmosphere was great and they had live great music and the volume was just right where we were still able to have great conversation. Our server Diane was WONDERFUL! Very knowledgeable on the menu and drink suggestions. Diana was very friendly and professional and provided us with great service! The appetizers were great we had the alligator tails, goat cheese wontons and crab cakes. Everyone's dinner was amazing. I had the honey glazed salmon. It was cooked perfect and came to the table still very hot. I will definitely come again when I am in the area. A MUST go to restaurant!!

I've lived in the northern Illinois area since I was very young. The Shanty has always been a regular stop for my father and uncle. I have always loved this restaurant but in recent years the new owners have expanded and made my childhood eatery even better!!
