Niko's Red Mill Tavern

The food was quite good -- we had burgers and wraps.  The inside is dark and loud, but we sat outside for lunch and loved the south-facing deck.  The waitresses, uniformly young and pretty, are well-trained and attentive.  The only downside was the loud country music and the clientele, which smokes outdoors (who wants to eat next to smokers?!?) and looks pretty rough.  The Harley Davidson sign on the side of the building should have been a warning.

Hamburgers are awesome.  Wraps and salads huge and delicious.  Everything else is excellent.  I hope he brings this great concept to Niko's in Huntley.  We'd be there every night!

Not bad...but you can tell you're in Woodstock....Here's the rundown:

Food: The Cream of Broccoli soup was out of this world, The Fried Chicken was just OK (I have yet to find good fried chicken North of I-55...) My Wife's burger was WAY undercoocked (medium well practically bled) but was very tasty.

Atmosphere: Very clean, waitstaff very attentive and friendly...They had both kinds of music playing on the jukebox the entire time we were there.....Country AND Western....and the place looked like it was full of regulars....complete with camo huntin' caps, and one guy in a Cowboy Hat (I was raised to remove my hat in a building, but I recognize I'm in the minority in today's day and age).

That being said....we went there before we went to "Farm and Fleet" up the road-I guess I should have expected it.  In conclusion: Friendly, nice staff, clean place, decent food - I'd give it another try.
