Paul's Place

I saw Courtney C.s review and yes they let you go behind the bar to scope out the bottled beer. They only have six taps but who give's a rat's ass when you've got what I'm guessing is upwards of 120 different beers & hard ciders with only a small fraction of them being macro brews. When I asked Paula (Paul considerately married her for numbskulls like me who have problems remembering names) who was behind the bar about a beer list she said it was impractical because they rotate them so frequently.
  I had a Flying Dog Woody Creek Belgian White, which is not only a mouthful it's a mouthful of pretty crisp ale, before breakfast, and a Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA after. And no I didn't break with tradition. I had a double Bloody Mary at Uncle Richie's in Lockport on the way down.
  I wanted something filling and when I check a new place out I order something simple because if you can get the simple stuff down pat then you're probably good to go for the rest. Biscuits and gravy is about as simple and filling as you're going to get. Two very light biscuits came promptly and with a nice sausage gravy that wasn't over-salted.
  A very satisfying plate that with two beers came to $11.78 with tax. I usually don't pay that specific attention to my tab but was curious this time because of the sizeable beer list that they had. After Googling away too much time trying to find Flying Dog prices I did find the 90 Minute IPA for $6 a bottle at Hopleaf in Chicago. I payed less for the two beers and a meal than I would've payed for the two beers elsewhere.
  A nice room that has a country feel surrounds two levels of low tables with off white painted paneled walls and dark wood trim and sills around the curtained windows. The high cieling is sectioned off by deep wide dividers that keep the sound level in check. The floors are black and white tile and the bar is a deep red formica top wth hardwood arm rests.
  The bar has an island for their hard liquor and wine selections and the reach in glass cooler behind it is three sections chock full of beer. Paula is Paul's attractive other half (I don't want to say his better half and get in Dutch with someone I just met) and was outgoing. Paul was outgoing to a bunch of tables and really didn't have time to stop on a busy Sunday A.M. to jackjaw.
  I'm looking forward to finding some new places down this way and I'd recommend Paul's Place as a good spot to start your day.

MANY years ago this was a great place to go for lunch. They had great homemade soups and fantastic sandwiches at a very reasonable price. Then they closed, re-opened, closed under suspicious circumstances and re-opened again. Ever since, the food is low quality, high priced. Thanks, I'll pass and go somewhere else.

I used to drink here a lot in my good ol' days. I never once tried their food until I saw all the stellar reviews on Yelp and knew I was missing out. I've been here a few times now and I've tried: Paul's burger, teriyaki and mild battered wings, queso poppers, creamy chicken noodle soup, and the fish and chips.

So far, everything has been really delicious. I think my favorite was the burger. It was really juicy and despite the fact that it seems like there's far too many ingredients on it, everything blended really well and tasted good together. I like with the dinners you get a choice of your potato and veggies. When I ordered my fish, I was able to also get fries and steamed broccoli with it. Not bad for $7.

They also have an out of this world beer menu that could rival any bar in Chicago. They'll even let you go behind the counter to inspect their giant selection. AND we discovered the last time that we came that they have Revolution's Iron Fist on tap.

We sat at the bar on Saturday night and were served by Chris (I believe that was his name.) He was so accommodating and a really cool guy. He even made sure to say "bye" and "thanks for coming in tonight" which was an added bonus. OF COURSE, I'll be back.. probably this weekend.
