  Good, friendly old-timers type of bar.
  Super thin crust pizza at a good price.
  Has a familiar neighborhood feel, BUT someone should call the health department!
  The amount of dust CAKED onto the fan blades above the bar and tables is disgusting.  The ceiling tiles may have been white at some point, but they are covered in thick, black dust/grease.   This place would benefit from closing its doors for two days and a good scrubbing.   Would hate to see this establishment close, but the owners really need to clean it up before I will return again.

  The people that work there have never been very friendly, but I always over looked that because it was the best pizza in town!   I gave it two tries recently and unfortunately the pizza was terrible, very greasy.  I was told that is is under new management.  Off my list.

  Just an average suburban strip mall bar. This is a sports bar and there is enough seating in here. I guess. The pizza is nothing special and this just seems like a boring place. the better bars in palatine are obviously downtown Palatine.

  We are fans of this place because it is comfortable.  Nothing fancy, good pizza, fair prices, lots of TVs, etc.  Definitely worth a try to see if it your style.

  Why do I come here? To eat cheap thin pizza and play electronic darts and possible catch a game or two. If this isn't a local watering hole, I'm not sure what is. Don't let its strip mall location fool you, inside it looks just like a little hole in the wall out in the middle of nowhere. The pizza is decent but also can take quite a long time. The dart games are fun but tend to fill up fairly quickly and from my last experience, they don't really have a waiting list. The prices are reasonable and the everyone is generally pretty friendly. A lot of Corner Pocket folks make their way over here for some grub in between pool games.

  Pizza is great, but most of the staff behind the bar should be replaced. Some of the worst service we have ever seen. The older gentleman was very nice. If he is working you might be ok.

  Went to the bar before the Bears game.
  
  Barkeeper, a blond woman, very cold and unfriendly. Patrons were locals and did not seem very receptive to outsiders.
  
  No comment on food, did not try it.

  Pizza is great-the best thin crust around.  Oak chips with ranch dressing is addictive.  Lots of locals, very chill--beer is sooo cold, just the way it should be.  Bartenders could use some personality, but what they are lacking the pizza more than makes up for.

  Limited menu but the pizza is all they need.  The service is good and the prices are right.

  Pizza is still good; staff still sucks.

  When my wife and I lived in Palatine, this was the place to go to watch baseball games, and get drunk.  We loved it because we could walk home from here.  The ambience was awesome, just some blue collar folks looking to wallow in their beer mugs and forget about their mortgages.
