Embers: Reviews & Ratings
Love the cauliflower bites as an appetizer! Burger and wedge salad were fresh and served quickly. Jackie did a great job with our many "on the side" or customized burger requests. Also went to a retirement party in their 3rd floor Speakeasy. Great drinks, fun atmosphere! Everyone from different burbs loved it.
Great location in downtown Lockport. Good service, and the flatbread I ordered was delicious. They make a good old fashioned too.
It was pretty average normal bar food.. I will say that I was happy that they had an impossible Burger I ordered also. The chicken tenders. I know that they said they were housemade but I don't know for $17 for four pieces that had no flavor at all and not even salt. Nothing.. I might have felt better if if they had used Frozen. But I really was surprised over the bill. I know food is expensive but we ordered a bowl of soup which was $7 two burgers. Probably they were about $17 a piece. I'm not even sure and a chicken tender with mashed potatoes and they upgrade that $2. We had three sodas full bill was $75 for three meals. I was appalled I don't mind paying money when you get a lot of food or if you leave and you can say ... Wow that was good. That's like $25 a plate... You can see the images below... I wish I could say I would go back for the food .I know they have a bar. There is an upstairs lounge. I don't discourage people from going out enjoying themselves. If I was just drinking I probably would go there but not to order food...
Embers is always a good vibe. Food is great. I noticed they update their menu a lot. Mac and cheese is good but my favorite would be the flatbreads
Embers is just excellent! Allison was our server and she took great care of us as soon as the hostess seated us. Thanks Allison! :-) We entered just after the restaurant opened on a Sunday. Our food (breakfast burgers, yum!) was served hot, tasty, & fresh. There were nice people to take care of us, the ambiance was awesome, and the burgers delish. Allison kept the coffee refills coming frequently as well. Honestly, we just could not have asked for anything more. Thanks Team Embers! :-) Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago
