Emmett's Brewing Co

Me and a friend chose this place on a whim. We were seated by a very nice host immediately and our server was super friendly and checked on us often to make sure we were doing ok.

You can sit on the bar side or the dining room side and we chose a booth in the dining room. Was very happy about that after going to the restroom later and learned how loud the bar side was.

The menu had several different salad and sandwich options as well as several different sharables and entrees. They also had a small list of specials for St Patrick's Day.

We started with a couple of glasses of wine, a merlot and a rose. We loved both wines and the pours were decent sized. The merlot was a Sycamore Lane merlot and now I need to find where to buy it.

For entrees, we chose the corned beef and cabbage and the fried cod dish. The corned beef dish looked very fresh, filling and appetizing. My cod was a couple of medium sized pieces with large chunks of fresh whitefish, with crispy breading. The cole slaw was very creamy and sweet and the sweet potatoes were long, thin and crispy. Both meals were very delicious.

We ended our night with a slice of their carrot cake, which was large and the middle of it was very good, but the top of it tasted slightly freezer burnt. It had a thick cream cheese frosting covered in walnuts. The cake was very good.

All in all, for 2 glasses of wine, an entree and dessert it was about $50 each.
I would definitely go back again.

I met some friends from California for dinner and they chose Emmett's. Those chose wisely. We had a great time and the food was just fantastic. We started with the Brussels sprouts & brie crostini and the woodland flatbread. The sprouts were the best I've ever had. They were chopped and served with bacon and a balsamic glaze over a crostini with brie. It was almost like a Brussels sprouts tapenade and totally delicious. The flatbread was really good but could be improved with just a simple balsamic drizzle. Nitpicking here because otherwise it was really good.

For mains I had the Cedar Plank Whitefish which is a Lake Superior Whitefish with a lemon beurblanc with mashed potatoes and haricot vertes. It was served very hot and it was simply delicious. My friends had the filet mignon and the beef tip risotto respectively. They both thought the dishes were great.

My ONLY significant issue was the taste of the water and the diet Coke that I had. To the restaurant...get a good water filter. That water tastes a bit funky and it even carried over to the soft drink. Maybe it was just the ice in the diet Coke causing it but that was not at all enjoyable.

Other than that, Emmett's was fantastic. If I ever find myself in West Dundee again I would probably go back.

We have been so impressed with this location for several years now - tonight 4/20/24 was exceptional! Our waiter, Ben, was friendly, attentive and all-around excellent! The food and atmosphere are our favorite date-night destination, and we are happy to recommend for a wonderful dining experience!

Fabulous dinner. Cannot think of one bad thing. Service was exceptional. I would never expect a top notch steak there but this one was outstanding. A filet. Perfectly cooked potato. Then apple struedel for desert was off the charts. What a great little gem.

Brought my two young kids (5 and 2) on Valentines night by myself after my husband unexpectedly had to work late and Shelley G was our server...truly one of the best experiences I've had eating out with my kids thanks to her! She was engaging with us and brought the kids' meals out quickly and once my meal came out (Brussels sprout salad, absolutely delicious!) she brought them valentines cards and stickers to keep them entertained so I could enjoy my meal in peace. She helped make for a truly memorable and wonderful night after my plans had changed and it will be a long time before I forget her kindness to us.

Nice pub with a classic feel, Emmett's has an extensive line of their beers as well as some classic pub grub. Prices are fair, and I enjoyed a prime rib dinner for under $30. Nothing fancy, but it was well prepared and I would order it again. Place gets busy, but we were able to grab a couple of seats at the bar on a Friday night. Went with a friend from the Netherlands, and he also liked the brewery Merch as well. Overall, a nice place for a meal and drinks.

We stopped in with some friends and our kids for an early dinner here a while back and I never got around to writing a review. But I need to do it for one reason. Did you ever watch Hell's Kitchen? Gordon Ramsey would always make Beef Wellington in his restaurant and I never had it before. I always wanted to try it.

Well I got to try it one other time and it was a fantastic dish. And they had it as a special the evening we stopped in, and for a much cheaper price than what I paid at another establishment. So I gave it a try and it was a slam dunk. I am sometimes hesitant to let my daughter try my food, because it can quickly become half hers... This one became half hers. Try it if you get a chance, and try the beer too. It is a good microbrewery,

The St. Patrick's Day "brunch" was awful. We've gotten better food for free from hotels we've stayed. The server never asked us about the food. The beer was good.

Came for a large private party. The steak and salmon were fantastic. The portion size was good and the mixed veggies was great. For the steak I would have liked a little more brown gravy. The server was great and she worked very hard for all of us. We didn't see a helper until the entrees came out so for the 30+ people great job. The brownie dish for dessert was very rich in chocolate.

The beers were all pretty easy drinking. But we were burping almost immediately. I'm thinking the CO2 in the tap system was a little higher than normal.

Great beer which changes throughout the year. Very clean and appointed facility. The staff is friendly and the menu is expansive and reasonably priced. Emmett's offers more than beer so no one should go home thirsty. Emmett's offers banquet and meeting services so they can handle groups. Only negative is a marginal patio service,
