Usually a great value. Today the corned beef and cabbage was cold and the vegetables were rock hard. I sent it back to be warmed up and it made very little difference. I told the waitress it was not fully cooked. The waitress said she told the cook and was told "Yeah it is almost raw when we put it in the steam table because it cooks all day."
That didn't help my meal. Poor service.
I've come in after work for a drink and Linda was nothing but fantastic! She was super friendly and I could tell everyone at the bar felt at home....kinda like Cheers...where everybody knows your name. The fellow bar goers all seemed to be friendly and have a great time catching up with each other. I'd definitely recommend the food and drink specials! Great people, food, and atmosphere!
Review Source:This is the second time I have been to this restaurant and I have no complaints. The first time we sat in the restaurant part as we had a big group. We ordered the pizza which was great and we had exceptional service. Tonight was the second time I went and we sat in the bar area. It was 5:00 on a Sunday, so it was a little loud as the football games were on tv, but the service and food were great. We had Ashley as our server, who kept up with our drinks, and checked up on us continually. I had the Mediterranean Wrap with Chicken which was out of this world. My parents had a pizza which they had no complaints about. The bar was very clean as well. Definitely going to bring my friends here one day!
Review Source:Not sure why I only gave 4 stars last time.
for the money this place hands down is one of the areas best values - as stated before the lunch menu is awesome - expanded in the last few months - entree, soup or salad and a drink - $7. - and on the menu is one of the best burgers and fries i have ever had .
Sarah still tops lunch time server, but Elysa is great too!
We are now here minimum of 2 times a week. Value and quality  are the best.
We used to go here awhile ago but stopped when the service started going downhill. Â After taking a long while off we decided to give it another try since it's so close to the house. Â I'm really happy we did!! Â It looks like they have finally increased their staff and quality of it.
The food is good and the specials are even better. Â Where else can you watch a Bears game and get $2.50 16oz beers! Â Thanks to Jess for the great service and for recommending the Italian beef pizza...it was delicious. Â
I'm sure we'll be back again for the next game and plenty more to come. Â Very happy to see you have turned things around!!
I try to be as fair as I can when posting negative reviews. Hopefully this is read as constructive criticism and nothing else.
I go to Pop's often for sporting events. Â Food is good. Audio/Video is great. Wait staff (Sheila) is great. Â So please listen up management/ownership. Â This is for you.
Seating yourself and your personal guests and serving them while your paying customers wait great lengths for their food is beyond comprehension. Â You have several guests standing as the there is no more tables. Â You could have easily offered to set up a table for at least one group or family. Â Instead, you set up a table for your personal use. Ridiculous!!!!
The night of any major sports event must fill your cash registers. Â Don't you think you could spend a small portion of that on some buss staff? Â Our table and every table in site is littered with empty drinks and plates. Â
Don't harass your regulars. Â They are your companies extended family. Â They bring their friends and they bring their friends...
Generally speaking, my wife and I enjoy the Pasta dishes, always got a fair deal on the nightly specials. It is close to home, fair prices and good portion sizes. Service is hit or miss, but that usually doesn't bother us - unless something is really wrong. We usually order a soda or iced tea with our meals, but tonight when we got our bill, we were both SHOCKED! All fountain drinks are now $3.25!!!! I asked the waitress if they switched to petroleum based fountain drinks, I don't know if she thought I was joking or what. Is this the new trend? I didn't think drinks would have been affected by the current drought! From now on it's water with a few slices of lemon please, of course, they may start charging for lemon slices due to poor fruit crops.
Review Source:I have to fully agree with another reviewer - HIRE ANOTHER BARTENDER/SERVER.. someone, anyone... to take care of your customers in the bar area.
The bar area/bar side of the establishment is pretty spacious - not just a large bar but many booths & tables. Â On 3 occassions (typically after work - say, 5pm), there was just one person serving the entire place. Â
"Running around like a chicken with her head cut off".. yep, that describes it perfectly.
The typical wait for a drink refill - even just some water - was probably 20 minutes - if you could flag her down. Â And this is while sitting right at the bar.
The food is hit/miss. Â Our wings were dry as a bone. Â The "fish fry" was just a small plate of ok food. Â The mini burgers are typically the safest bet & the fries were good as well. Â I had a chicken wrap that was pretty decent.
Basically, this used to be the only place to go close to home, but now that Bulldog has opened, we go there instead. Â
I did enjoy the laid back atmosphere at Pop's, the friendly bartenders - when they were around - and the little patio is nice too. Â But the bad service now keeps us away.
First of off, this "restaurant" if you want to call it that got one star, because yelp won't let you put 0 stars. I am a local of Schaumburg, the first time there mailer came to my house I thought let's try it out. Order a burger and wings to be delivered... Â when I finally got the food and open up my wings I found on the very first wing a HAIR! .. now that for one is just gross and should be a reason to get this place no stars! But it didn't stop, I decided to go back and give this place another shot and go see how the service was, when I got there I sat at the bar at lunch time. The service was awful! Â Sat there waiting for a refill of water, but didn't get one... instead we heard the server swearing and complaining about how " hard she works". After that I decided not to go back inside every again. My friend decided to order some food from there and pay with cash.. Â the delivery guy came and dropped off the food and after being given a $20.00 for a meal that was only $9.47 the delivery person started to walk away... my friend asks " do you have change for this $20.00" he reply "No, all I carry is $20.00". After opening the food it smelled like cigarettes.
End this all up. Will never be going to this place again! And I strongly recommend neither do you.
Never eaten a bad bite of food in this place. My boyfriend and i order pizza from here all the time and it's delicious! We also have a great server (Sheila). When we go in there on Tuesday nights to play darts we ask for her and she takes awesome care of us. She's the reason we go back again and again. The bathrooms are newly remodeled and very nice. The only reason Im giving 3 stars is because I wish they had better drink specials. Other than that I really like this bar!
Review Source:Been here a handful of times over the past 6 or 7 years. Every time we pass this place it's packed, and for the life of us we can't understand why. You would think they're giving the beer away sometimes. They've done some cosmetic surgery a few times over the years, but it still doesn't hide the overall nastiness of this place. It's in serious need of a real good top to bottom cleaning.
The service is beyond horrible. If they get your order correct,(They've gotten it wrong more than once) it  takes a long time to get it, and it's average at best. (The pizza is probably their best item, but with all the pizzerias in the area, why bother?) I could walk to this place in 5 minutes and still rarely go, that should tell you something. It's not that I hate the place, but when I go out I want to lean on a table I don't stick to, use a bathroom I'm not disgusted by and get a feeling that they actually spend time behind a mop & bucket.
I gave it three stars because it is, after all, only a sports bar!
For this to be a sports bar, there food is amazing. Â I've tried so many different items that I can say you won't be disappointed with anything there. Â The portion sizes are big, and the food is great the next day as left overs. Â You should try the chicken parm, the Philly chicken sandwich, and their wraps. Â
Their service could be better, but I always take my food to go anyways. Â Definitely recommend the food, but I haven't tried the pizza yet.
We had our company party in the banquet room in the back of Pops (about 115 people). Â Dave and his staff did a great job from planning the menu through the entire event. Â The staff were really awesome and helped me to set up the room (without being asked!). Â It was a huge help. Â
The food was great - we had grilled shrimp, filet and meatball appetizers, a family-style dinner with chicken, beef and veggies, and of course an open bar. Â There was plenty of room for the DJ and dancing, and we had our own restrooms. Â Everything was clean and organized. Â Our staff had a great time, and the entire event was surprisingly affordable! Â Would definitely recommend to others for events.
the overall mood is pretty good if ur a sports watcher. the food was okay (pop's pizza was good, nachos were pretty bad), service was pretty bad. we had a party of at least 27 people, got one menu per table, waitress came by so late to take our orders and when we ordered drinks, we had to remind them and wait forever for it to get to the table.
Review Source:I have been a loyal customer of Pop's for many years and so I gave it a second chance. What a huge mistake. I brought an out of town guest in to enjoy the Black Hawks game and the dinner took forever, and was ice cold. I thought alright bad night went back last night and the place was empty, and my food came out ice cold again. Not sure what the problem is getting food to the table hot. Our waitress told us there wasn't a Ruben on Special but it was still on the board from lunch. I asked what the specials were and she said there was only a shrimp basket. I saw another table come in and she handed them a whole list of specials. My Pasta didn't have any soup or salad that came with the entree and it was $9.95. A cup of split pea soup wouldn't have killed them to give to a customer when you think the pasta was cold and not very tasty. As the waitress came around she told us she had been there forever but she never once filled our waters or cleaned the table. I was a waitress for eight years and I can't believe a career waitress would make so many mistakes on a slow night. Stick to Pizza and Beer and you will be alright. This place is just that.
Review Source:Message to the MANAGER. HIRE another waiter/waitress you cheap a$$. Â Great concept but its really annoying when your food takes over an hour to come out and when it does come out its freezing cold because your short staffed. We were here for a black hawks game and the place was packed with one waitress running around like a chicken with her head cut off.
It's not the waitresses fault, its yours. Â Other than that I like the cosmetic upgrades and would be willing to re-review if you stepped up your operations and service.
Thanks
This review is for the bar. PIzza was good to me. The special came with loads of toppings, if you hate green peppers, you will hate the specialty supreme (forgot the actual name) pizza. i also tried the tilapia  which was good. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Forgot her name but she was awesome.
Only thing I dislike is the setup for the tables and TVs. Most of them aren't align with the tvs so you gotta turn side ways.
I love Pops!
Its an all in one. Want to go on a nice date night with your sweetie.. you head into the dinning room area. Looking for a fun night of drinks and YUMMY food go stright into the sports bar. Or heck do both. The best part is even if you go into the bar you can still get the full menu, which might I add is AMAZING! Its higher end food at low end cost so really how can you go wrong?!?!? They have some of the best wings and ranch (made fresh on site!!). But what keeps me coming back is the Chicken Scampi. I know it sounds crazy a bar that serves pasta dishes, but 95% I HAVE to get it!
The staff is very friendly and its fast service even when its busy. The bar is also an offical Blackhawk's bar. So you know the game is always going to be on (as well as any other ones) And they usually have some fun raffles going on through out the night.
All in all a must go to bar for a good time and a BIG bang for your BUCK!
Okay Pop's, you earned an upgrade. My girlfriend had her 50th birthday party here on a Sunday afternoon. Unlimited pizza, pop and salad for an hour and a half at $12 something per person. There was plenty of room for our large group. The pop was readily available in tappers that were setup on a table and there was plenty of salad with a variety of veggies. The pizzas were s-l-o-w. I would have expected the pizzas to fly out a bit more rapidly as there was a good half hour or so without any pizza.
Ready for the reason for the third star? Â Their ladies room was immaculate! Â I even took pictures. Don't worry, no one was in there. That would be weird. It's attached to the bar, so I expected the worst, but I didn't mind using it at all. Way to go!
I've been to Pop's on a few occasions, primarily because it's right down the street from my house. It's a pizza and sports bar as their name states...nothing more, nothing less.
I've opted to eat in both the bar and restaurant area. Either way, the food is the same. Some days are better than others, but either way it's average bar food. I've tried a little bit of everything...pizza, appetizers, salads, sammies, pasta, and wraps. There's usually decent daily specials, that's a bonus.
Service is always friendly and typically fairly fast. Prices are fair and portions are pretty large.
As for the atmosphere, this is not a place I would come to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night. As is, the bar area usually brings in some of the local drunks, which I prefer to not be around. If that's what it's like during the week, Â I'd hate to see it during amateur hours...
The restaurant is where I prefer to eat if I'm grabbing a quick bite with a friend. It's much more quiet and the service is better. I feel a little less dive-y in that section. Other than that, I stick to carryout.
Pop's isn't bad if you're looking for a sandwich, some fried bar food or greasy pizza. You won't find me hanging in the bar, or slamming back beers on Fri//Sat night, but that's just my preference...
Most of our visit was at least OK. There wasn't enough room in the dining room, so we sat in the bar. The waitress was good at first, but then forgot about us. After we ordered, she walked by us many times not even asking how we were, and we had to flag her down to get the bill.
The food quality was mixed. While I found the nachos rather tasty, the fries were plain and the pizza had too much sauce. I wouldn't call it bad, but I probably won't come back here.
Tonight was obviously amateur night at Pop's. The food was terrible and the service was even worse. I ordered an order of baked mostaccoli, fettuccini Alfredo, and mozerella sticks. The delivery guy shows up with fettuccini mostaccoli and the mozzarella sticks. Obviously I called and complained about this. They "rushed" over my actual order and by the time I got it, the food was cold and tasteless. I was also rudely interrupted from trying to get some (even if it was very little) satisfaction from my horrible food by a clueless delivery guy asking for me to sign for the other order, to which I bottled my rage and said no. There's a ton of better places around Roselle, don't waste your time here.
Review Source:I've sat in the sports bar on many occasions. Great place to watch sports. No cover for any of the MMA. The drink specials are pretty good. The food is great. Can't go wrong with their wings or thin crust pizza. The service is good too. The waitresses are friendly and the presence of the manager is seen on the floor (you don't see that too often at sports bars.) My favorite thing about this place is the half-time buffet they do during Bears games when you've purchased drinks. I've grown to enjoy this place and will continue to go there.
Review Source:This place is my favorite. Â I went there few times. Great food! Great atmosphere, friendly servers. My favorite is seafood salad, and thin crust pizza! the price is very reasonable. nice selection of wines. If you go, don't eat too much of the bread at the beginning even it's very tasty. your dinner is on the way!
Review Source:This place used to be our after work place, however as of recently it has gone down quick! Â They used to have good drink specials and good service. Â
Fast forward to present time, and the only thing worth writing about this place is that they have a GREAT lunch special. Â That's why I am giving them 2 stars!
Pop's Pizza and Sports Bar has hosted thrice the Road-Watch for the Chicago Blackhawks. Tonight would be Game 7 @ Canucks to finish up Round 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Initial reviews told me to be aware of service and that the pizza was the item to get. Knowing how previous Road-Watches are and that the Bulls would also be playing up until 30min into the Hawks game we arrived at 7:45, 15 minutes before the Bulls game. While the Bulls didn't bring about a full bar, the Road-Watch + prior patronage added up to standing room only. Inside Pop's is a clean and respectable "hole-in-the-wall" had it not been located in a shopping center on the outskirts of Shaumburg. Now don't get me wrong I love finding the obscure and sometimes questionable bar every now and then, so stepping into this place and getting the feeling that there has been the fair share of spilled beer (which I did contribute my own to the table, bench, floor, and coworker completely on accident) and lack of corporate shadowing left me feeling cozy and right at home. But don't let me scare you off this place screams hometown hero! Service was prompt at first, but with notice that we were staying through the Hawks game we were glanced over and skipped more than a few times, it did pick up as we started ordering and our actual game came on. Things to know - If you are a Coors Light drinker, like myself, look elsewhere, and they do not serve pitchers; instead, they serve 2.5L towers of beer (filled well past the mark) that actually held close to 8 full pints. The Asparagus Parmesan was ordered as just fried asparagus and was cooked well and retained a crisp texture in both the breading and the greens. The onion rings were par for the course and cooked well too. Three pizzas were ordered: a double-decker (a layer of two thin crusts twisted with toppings applied on top) Pop's Special which turned out not really worth the extra cost, a thin crust vegetarian, and another Pop's Special thin. All three pizzas were adequately topped and not too heavy on the sauce. Their reputation I would say holds if you are looking for a pizza in the traditional sense of the word. Stick to the thin crusts and you won't be disappointed. The bill was fairly priced. Bonus points are awarded for my spilled pint refill. It was not charged, and I also did not ask for it. Now if only they could have done something about that loss of game 7...
Review Source:Excuse me has anyone seen my affliction t-shirt? Ah this gentleman is wearing it, good.
While I'm at it, has anyone seen my extremely annoying top 20 CD? Good job DJ d-bag I noticed you located it and have it turned up to 11.
Now all I need is my bleach blonde girlfriend with a muffin top and tramp stamp... and... where... there she is!
Perfect, now I'd like to set the ambiance somewhere between sports bar and basement layer of a serial rapist. Good. Looks like we are set here.
Went to Pop's for drinks with some friends recently. They get a star for two things, having bartenders (at the bar) and for having functioning plumbing.
They are probably fine for a quick drink, but the wait service is lacking. I am very hesitant to ever frequent a place with so many tables and so little service. What's the point, really???
They have a lot of TVs. They have a patio where people go to smoke, but it is also the entrance and the smokers do not stand 15 feet away from the door...making the place smell like stale cigarettes because of the constant opening and closing of the door. ICK!
3 stars for a nice local sports bar. Pop's has a nice, positive ambiance... especially during Blackhawk games. The only downside of the place is the sport TV volume is a little loud... but that's just geezer talk.
I'll give Pop's an extra shiny star for the outstanding pizza! The Pop's Special is thin crust with sausage, pepperoni, green pepper, mushroom, and onion. Drool.
Here. The morning after. I can't believe I let my Dad steal the leftovers. Dop.
All hail, Pop's!
still drooling... yow, bill
A great sports bar....that I can almost walk to (or from)! Â I have gone here a few times after bowling across the street at Strike X (Ten) for some post bowl beers. Â Your typical crappy American beer list, but with Sam Adams Boston Lager (not sh*tty Summer Ale) on tap, I'm good to go. Â They also have some of the most ridiculous food specials (1/2 price pizza day, 1.50 for burger basket and fries day, 1.50 panzerotti day!) around. Â Their pizza is GREAT, nice and thin, not too greasy, great sausage. Â It's easily one of the best pizzas in the area! Â The service is good too. Â The bartender is very attentive and is always present just as you are finishing that last sip of beer to pour you a refill. Â The apparently have free UFC events here too, although I have never attended one. Â Driving by during a recent match and the parking lot was packed so it seems to be a hot spot for it.
