I got off from work today and decided to have dinner at the Driftwood Grille with one of my best friends from high school. The restaurant has a cozy log cabin ambiance with plenty of tv screens and open spacious concept. The customer service was extremely friendly, welcoming and efficient. We ordered the following items for dinner: Buffalo Chicken Dip Badger Burger w/ Sweet Potato Fries - Five Cheese Mac & Cheese w/ Chicken Side of Sweet Potato Fries - Belle’s Cheesecake Honestly everything we ordered was great but the Buffalo Chicken Dip was my absolute favorite! This restaurant is definitely worth visiting with your family and friends!!
Been there twice. First time tried to finish the 96er... almost finished. For such a monster of a burger the flavor was better than anticipated. Second time had the Paul Bunyon burger. Very good high quality burger. Will dine here again. Also had a nice selection of beer available.
Even though she was very busy, our server took the time to answer our questions with a smile. They were switching some of their drink choices to their spring menu and she brought me a sample of the strawberry sangria which was refreshing. We had the giant pretzel and the bruschetta which were really good. My daughter in law had the pot roast which we all tried. It was so moist and flavorful. My husband had the pot pie and loved it. I had the slider trio and all three were excellent but next time I might just get all three pot roast. My son and I loved the homemade chips with their slight vinegar tang. They were not too salty either. They had a corned beef and cabbage special which my daughter enjoyed very much. We all took home leftovers! We all agreed there are other items we want to try so hoping to return in the near future.
Burger was insane. Wait staff checked in very frequently so none of that "Where did my server go? Did we have a server? We're ready to order something here!" Oh my god was the food was unexpectedly great. The menu wasn't terribly large. I got the walleye but the burger was definitely the move. Probably top 5 burgers I've had of all time. Anyway, definitely stop by there. The atmosphere isn't super uppity and the food is out of the world. Great job, team.
First time guests and we will be back. Hands down the best sweet potato fries I have ever had. I was so full off the appetizer, I didn’t have room for my meal. We went on game day so they had game day specials. Our appetizer had Cheese Curds, Fried Mac & Cheese, Wings, and Pretzel Bites. We shared a Badger Burger with sweet potato fries, cooked medium. Everything we had gets a well-deserved 5. Service was off the charts. Are you looking for great food, good prices, and even better service - and of course, football is always a win - make this your next stop!
First time here. The Cheese Curds were amazing. Half price during happy hour. Crisp putter shell, gooey on the inside. The come back sauce was a little spicy (just right) The Juicy Lucy's came out perfectly cooked. I am a big dumb carnivore so I skipped the bun and added bacon. And the bacon was thick and tasty . The chili was good, but not amazing. Our bartender Mike was very engaging and entertaining. Told us the back story of the restaurant and kept our drinks full.
We had a wonderful meal at Driftwood Grille for our date night. The food was fresh and delicious. The pretzel bread is next level amazing. I love the decor of the restaurant and the service was outstanding. Max was a great and attentive server. We loved everything from the appetizers to the entrees. This has to be the best restaurant in the Oakbrook Area! Skip the chain places and give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed. Cannot wait to go back and until then will be dreaming of the walleye fingers and pretzel bread!
I drove by many times, only noticed the off-track betting, not the Driftwood Grille. So I'm happy I stopped in. The food was great and there were plenty of specials the service was great and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. There is a good choice of cocktails and a very good list of beers to choose from. The food was delicious. Desserts were also good. You should definitely try this place
