Hmmm.. where do I begin.
We live in the neighborhood and  have been to Mrs P and Me several times. Always found the food to be "average" and the service "OK". But after last night's experience, we won't be back.
Let's start with the soup... My husband, kids and I ordered the cheddar broccoli soup. It was pure white, pasty and barely warm. The texture was that of Elmer's paste -- no exaggeration. It was inedible and sat untouched.
Our meals came out next. My 7-year-old son ordered the kids' cheeseburger. Not until he was almost finished did we notice that the inside was red and raw. Definitely not safe for a child to consume. We had asked for it to be cooked well done when ordering (yes, as his parents it was our job to check for doneness and we feel awful for not doing so). Their kitchen should know about food safety -- especially for items on the kids' menu. We brought this to the attention of the "manager" who had a smirk on his face and an "I could care less" attitude.
My husband and I ordered the chicken salad on avocado. The chicken salad was totally bland and the avocado was stringy and woody (not ripe/inedible).
My daughter ordered the kids spaghetti which came with sauce resembling 100% tomato paste.
To add to our dissapointment, the waitress was never around. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our check after talking the manager.
Lastly, the bathroom not clean and the hallway leading to the patio smelled like disinfectant and urine.
We won't EVER be back.
I was here tonight with a few girls from a meet up group. Â We just so happened to walk by after the fest and wanted to try it based on the cute look and feel of the place. Â I have to say we were all pleasantly surprised b/c we didn't know what to expect. Â The waitress was really nice and helpful. Â A friend and I tried the reuban and wow it was great. Â I had mine with coleslaw instead of the Sauerkraut that it comes with. Â Extremely fresh and delish corned beef. Â Portion sizes were great as well. Â Definitely liked the atmosphere and can see us going back for the food.
Review Source:This place is a cute, old bar. Â They have really good food too. Â We got the BBQ chicken sandwich and the cheesestake hoagie. Â Both were really good. Â We also got the french onion soup which was very tasty. Â Service was good and they have a good selection of beer. Â We went earlier and there weren't too many people there but as we were leaving it was starting to fill up. Â Good place for a quick dinner, drink and watch some sports.
Review Source:They have a "Lite" menu! I ordered the Burger "without the bun" It came with a hamburger pattie, tomatoes, cucumbers, a pickle and a side of cottage cheese. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Overall, the atmosphere was very nice and pretty rustic feeling. There were tvs and a long bar to order cocktails and beers. They had a wide selection of beers.
Review Source:This review is for the ONE drink, and the trivia I was at last night!!
So we heard this place had trivia from 8-10. Â After eating elsewhere, we decided to check it out! Â What a fun little place!
I was actually sad I had eaten elsewhere because there were a lot of things I wanted to try on the menu. Â Next time for sure, then! :)
I ordered a margarita, and that was delicious. Â The trivia was run by a lovely lady named Lara, and she was quite good at it! Â I really liked her style!
They also had a really neat outdoor patio area that looked fun. Â There were a lot of people out there this particular night, and I don't blame them--it was a gorgeous night for it!
I will definitely be back again to try the food and to order some more drinks!
very good food + very very sub par service = 2.5/3 stars.
A girlfriend and I have a weekly standing dinner date and have recently decided to start using up all of the groupons I've purchased (seriously, it's an addiction.) Â She takes the train from Mt. Prospect into the loop daily, so Mrs. P & Me looked like a great place to meet for dinner.
The groupon was 2 beers or mixed drinks, 2 entrees, and a hot fudge brownie dessert.
Beer = Blue Moon on tap. Â Thumbs up. Â Would've expected from a "neighborhood bar" that they might have a few more locally sourced beers (Two Brothers, Goose Island, etc.)
Food = The menu boasted a wide variety of bar options and entrees. Â Everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. Â We decided to split the Ambassador Burger (bacon & cheddar) and the Thursday night fish fry (cod). Â The burger was huge, we could've split it without the fish fry. Â The french fries were also very good, and the coleslaw as well. Â The fish fry was a little bit too salty for my taste.
Dessert = this hot fudge brownie thing was really REALLY good, but the whipped cream they put on it was weird... almost tasted like cool whip? Â Not a fan of that.
Service = So unfortunate. Â So disorganized. Â So slow. Â There were two servers on in the restaurant area, but it seemed that there was no rhyme or reason to their table sections. Â The restaurant has two "rooms" and all of the patrons were crammed into one, I felt like the woman at the next table was sitting on top of me.
If I return, I would probably sit in the bar area only, burger and a beer at a high-top would work just fine with me.
We came here Friday night because they were hosting a Blackhawks Roadwatch party. Got to meet a couple of the Ice Crew girls and had a chance to win some cool Hawks prizes (better luck next time). We've been to these Roadwatches before so we knew to get here early and sure enough, shortly after we arrived the place was packed, but still comfortable. I had the Crab Cakes which were on special and they were terrific. My husband once again enjoyed their Ribs, he absolutely loves them. Service was outstanding, very friendly from the minute we walked in. Great place to catch the Hawks or any game for that matter.
Review Source:Mrs.P and Me is your pretty typical grill pub. The have an okay, but not great selection of beer. At least they have more than the normal American macro brew swill on tap. The food has a kind of family barbeque feel to it. Nothing fancy, but tastes pretty good. They have an outdoor beer garden in the back that is nice to visit in the summertime. At night the music in the bar is overly loud. Don't go here expecting to hold a conversation. Even if you get away from the main bar they have speakers setup throughout the establishment. I can't say I'd ever go here expressly for the food or the atmosphere, but its good enough to drop in if I'm already in the area.
Review Source:Great, charming, historical building. Yes if you go later it is bar-like however I've brought my family here numerous times. They also built a nice outdoor patio a summer or two ago which is also great for kids b/c you don't feel so bad if there's a mess on the floor. Favorites are the Lemon Chicken Focaccia Sandwich, Pork Roast, and the Cabbage Soup when it's in the rotation. We occasionally get it to go for the office and the guys love the buffalo chicken. Â Prices are decent, usually not a wait to sit, food is good.
Review Source:Good local pub with a beer garden during the summer. Food was decent, service was spotty. Sat forever to get a menu and then the food look forever (burger and club). Lots of local people, so a friendly crowd. Lot of commuters from the NW train as well. In my opinion, that is what it has going for it ----- close to the train so a quick stop on your way home.
Review Source:The food here is not that good. You can get better burgers at Burger King or Burger World. However, this place adds some charm to the mundane new construction condo buildings that have appeared all over Mt Prospect in the past decade. This along with the other little stretch of buildings is about the only historical charming thing left. The bartender just talked to her friends the time I was there and so yes the service sucks
Review Source:My bf and I came here as we had a buy 1 get one coupon for meals and thought there was no harm in trying it. It was close as we live in Des Plaines and I sometimes even get off at the Mt Prospect metra stop anyway.
We came in with no expectations.
I was initially a little put off by the distinctly bar-like atmosphere and might think twice about bringing young children here in the future but I reconsidered my thought process from restuarant to something more bar like for a place to go to for a sports game and meal in the future. Â Still good.
The service was a tad slow in getting to us but nothing I can't deal with. Once out waitress did get to us she was nothing but pleasent and attentive. Ok great.
I wasn't expecting much from the food at this point but what we got was surprisingly tasty with fare you wouldnt nescessarily expect at a place like this. Both us got some sort of chicken sandwich and both were tender and juicy with great flavor. We both really enjoyed it and will probably be back soon
I think the building itself adds a little character to downtown Mount Prospect but it is really more bar than restaurant so leave the kids at home. Â They are known for their burgers but I had the turkey club and it was good. Â Nothing special by any means but nice enough neighborhood place to have a beer and sandwich at affordable prices.
Review Source:Burgers are big and juicy here, the homemade soups are tasty and so is their pulled pork sandwich. Just stay away from their salads and you'll be okay. Service each time has not been consistent, yesterday when I went it was slow, and the waitress seemed overwhelmed. Heard some dishes drop in the kitchen so maybe there was something going behind the scene that we didn't know about. I feel limited to stick with burgers and soups. I have tried their turkey club and a couple different salads and the lettuce is not that fresh and washed off good.
Friendly atmosphere and a fun night out with friends, parking is on the street of this corner establishment.
We just went there last night. Â My hubby was craving a juicy burger, fries and cold tap beer. Â The burger was huge! Â Their food menu has a pretty good selection and so was the beer menu. Â When you walk in, you're greeted by friendly people. Â When most places close early in the burbs, Mrs. P & Me is opened til 2am on Fridays & Saturdays, 1am on M-Thurs & Sundays. Â The outside patio was really nice too!
Review Source:Food's great in the restaurant, drinks are great in both the restaurant and the bar, and service is great whether you're dining or drinking. With a fun and often crowded atmosphere, this big old farmhouse on the south side of the tracks in downtown Mount Prospect welcomes hungry and thirsty people of all ages. The downstairs is a good place for a special-occasion party.
