We thought the name of this place was quite clever and it was attached to the Best Western hotel we were staying in but we left disappointed for sure. Service was lackluster. Menu was limited, uncreative and very expensive for what you get. Pasta dish was $12 plus another $3 or $4 if you wanted meat added. Â My taco salad at $9 was awful. Â Meat was lukewarm, there was hardly any lettuce in it at all, and the shell was small, puffy and hard to bite into because it was soggy. Â Server wore black top and apron spotted with food stains. Â We won't return to this place again.
Review Source:Heard some bad reviews about this place and almost didn't stop because of them, but glad I did. Service was top notch, food was good. Menu could have been more complete, but there was plenty of selection. Have to say though, that as one yelper said, the tables did feel kind of sticky. Didn't ruin my night though!
Review Source:Stopped here on way back from Minnesota and was pleasantly surprised after reading many poor reviews on here. The food is your basic Americana and it does it very well. Picture a independently owned Applebee's, it's that kind of food. Burgers, sandwiches, steaks, pasta, etc.... Â I had a great experience, clean and tidy everywhere inside. And food was cooked perfectly and was delicious after 10 hours of driving. Great buffalo wings too!
Review Source:This place is attached to the Best Western Arrowhead, which is a slum and I rated as terrible. Â The Orange Moose was no better.
The Orange Moose is a bar and grill, but just barely. Â The bar portion was small and smelled funny. Â The alcohol selection was decent, and there were decent beers on tap. Â Unfortunately, someone else before me got the beer that I wanted, and they were out when I wanted my beer. Â This showed poor inventory control, or just laziness from them not wanting to change a keg.
I sat down with several friends at a table in the dining area. Â The bartender knew we were there. Â After 10 minutes, someone came over to take our order. Â It took just shy of 30 minutes before our food finally came out. Â Keep in mind that we were the only ones in there. Â Standard target time for food at a place like this should be 12 minutes from the time of order. Â When the food was delivered, we ordered more drinks.
The food was lukewarm, and obviously had been sitting around on a counter for a while. Â The food consisted of typical greasy-spoon fare of sandwiches and burgers with fries and such. Â The sandwiches and other foods were literally dripping with grease. Â The burgers were all made from frozen patties and were cooked until over-done and dry. Â The burgers were very chewy and disgusting. Â The fries were soggy and somewhat stale tasting. Â It was obvious that everything they cooked was frozen or multiple days old.
I finished my meal and was sitting around for 5-10 minutes before the server reappeared. Â We actually went looking for her, but never found her. Â She asked if we wanted our bills, to which we reminded her that we had all ordered drinks about 20+ minutes earlier. Â She gave a half-hearted apology and offered to get them. Â We told her to cancel the order and bring us our checks. Â 5 minutes went by and still nothing. Â One guy in my party saw her and flagged her down and advised her that we needed to leave and needed our bills ASAP. Â She had forgotten. Â So several minutes later, we finally got our bills. After getting our change or receipts, we left without tipping. Â I rarely do not tip, so it has to be bad for me to not leave one. Â There was no manager, terrible service, and horrible food. Â This place is exactly like the hotel it's connected to-a rat hole.
If you want decent food, go downtown to the Brickhouse.
I'm starting to feel like all of my Yelp reviews are negative. This is mainly because I think to write a review when I have a particularly bad experience. I should write some more positive ones as well though.
Unfortunately, this is not one of those.
We were on a long drive home from Ontario to Chicago and stopped at the Orange Moose to stay in the hotel over night. After checking in we went to the Orange Moose bar and grill for some beer and something to eat.
I'll keep this review short - but this was one of the craziest experiences I have had in a foodservice establishment EVER.
The beer selection was good, the food selection was good, the atmosphere was good, but the management and service was AWFUL.
Two reasons I say this:
1) The bartender was downright hostile and seemed like every order we placed was a HUGE chore.
2) While at the bar, an elderly man choked on his food. Luckily, someone sitting with him quickly performed the Hiemlich  maneuver on him and the obstruction was cleared. However, it was cleared all over the floor and his chair (as in, he horked up whatever he was choking on all over everything). The poor, coughing, sputtering man was embarrassed and left his food sitting there as he excused himself, paid his tab, and went to his room. We waited for the expected response: housekeeping to come clean the bodily fluids up and a manager to make sure everything was alright. We saw neither. After 30 minutes, nothing had been cleaned and no manager ever materialized. Eventually, new people showed up and sat right where the old man was sitting (blissfully unaware of what they were sitting in).
After seeing that, we closed our tab and ordered a pizza for delivery instead.
Good hotel, scary management.
If you find yourself in need of a non-McDonalds/Subway/Culver's break while driving between Chicago and Minneapolis, stop at the Orange Moose! Â They grab your attention with the giant orange moose in front, and then trap you in with their Orange Moose Ale (local brew). Â It was a homey-looking restaurant, with a log cabin feel to it. Â Prices were good and they keep the beer flowing. Â I went with a group of 6 during our road trip and every single one of us got cheese curds and the fish fry. Â Those were some excellent curds (a must-eat in Wisconsin) and the fish was really good and a good portion. Â Even if your not hungry, take a break on your road trip and take a pic with the giant orange moose!!!
Review Source:Perfect roadside food I happened upon while doing a trip between Chicago and Minneapolis (this place is right off of I94). I got the cod sandwich (lightly battered & lovely) with soup/salad bar and my wife got a huge taco salad, and the bill was a whopping $10.55! Â The food was great, server was super friendly and it was a nice relaxing atmosphere to take a breather during a drive during a not-so-fun winter storm. I give props to the salad bar in particular -- while small, everything it it was super fresh and delicious with particularly great dressing. Â And the entire place had a nice homey charm to it.
