Weber Grill - Chicago

This weekend, my mom & I visited some Chicago suburbs for a Halloween getaway.  Our rule for food was - nowhere that we could eat at home.  (We made 1 exception - Starbucks on Sunday.  : )  )


Friday afternoon after we checked in to our gorgeous hotel (Staybridge Suites), we ate a late lunch/early dinner at Weber Grill.  I'd wanted to eat there ever since I saw one many years ago in a different area of the City.  First of all, the outside has this awesome huge grill!  







Once inside, the atmosphere is beautiful.






And then, the food.  Oh.my.heck.  DELICIOUS!  Fancy, but still good portions.  Our waiter, Ryan, was on the ball.  We ordered water - normally we order it w/ lemon, but for some reason we didn't that day.  He actually offered it - and then brought a whole plate of lemon wedges for us!  : )  


To start, he brought out these amazing pretzel rolls, served w/ butter and cheese, and they're all made fresh on-site.  They were even more delicious than the honey rolls at Texas Roadhouse.  Really!  I know it sounds crazy, but really!!  







Mom had a BBQ sampler, which included onion rings, beer can chicken tenders, ribs, and steak.  She gave me a sample of her sampler, and it was oh so amazing!  Also, Ryan brought out hot towels for her AND a silver bowl to put in the skewers & bones.  NEAT!  








I had a chicken capressi unwrapped, which came w/ pita wedges, pesto chicken, and tomatoes & mozerella w/ basil.  Mouthwatering!  It also came w/ a side of the creamiest cole slaw.  MMM!  








And, since we filled up on pretzel rolls, we had quite enough to take back to the hotel for dinner!  Oh, also, Ryan sent us home w/ a whole bag of extra rolls (8!) and cheese spread.  He really was an above & beyond waiter, and deserves an award or a raise or something!!  


I highly recommend this restaurant, and hope that I get to go again to try something else!  : )  


Until next time - have you been to a Weber Grill?  Did you enjoy the grilled smokey flavor as much as we did?
