Anyway’s American Grill & Pub

Came here for lunch on June 9^th loved it. Food was great service was good will be going back to try the drinks.

Lunch and a movie… We ordered off the appetizer menu. We had the chicken fingers and fries and the potato skins. The potato skins were yummy. Chicken finger and fries we good too.

Fantastic Warm Apple Crisp. I really enjoyed the nachos for less than 7 dollars. I could hardly eat ¹⁄₈^th of them…

I’ve lived in the area for the majority of my life but have never gone to Anyway’s until a couple days ago. I ordered the Crusted Macaroni & Cheese while my boyfriend ordered the Anyway’s burger with Pepperjack cheese, mushrooms and bacon. The mac & cheese was alright. I finished maybe ¼ of it before I started to get tired of the flavor (my noodles did not have much sauce on them). I shared it with my boyfriend, who didn’t make much of a dent in the dish either, so I ended up packing the rest for home.
This place was alright. The server we had was nice and attentive and our bill only came out to be around $ 20, which was surprising for the both of us! I’d give this place another try, but I’ll be trying something else from the menu the next time I come in.

This is a nice atmosphere to eat dinner or watch a game. There is a wide variety of food on the menu with a decent amount of low calorie options.
My favorite thing to get is the chicken alfredo pesto pasta. Portions are generous and the pricing is fair.
The pizza is a good size and has a medium thickness. Not a bad option!

We recently moved to the area and we’re always out searching for new places to check out! This looks like a great local place to frequent!
I ordered the Meatloaf Sandwich. It’s topped with gravy, provolone cheese, and crispy onions, then served on a hoagie roll with garlic mashed potatoes. It was exactly what you would expect. It was A-​ok. ;)
The boy ordered the Anyway’s Bison Burger. He had cheddar and bacon added to it and it’s served with french fries. Again, nothing noteworthy. Just A-​ok.
I think the best part was our server. She was super nice, friendly, and always had a smile on her face. For a night that you don’t want to cook and you’d like to get out for food & drinks, this is a good, local place to hit up!

First time diner here and everything was great. Our server was awesome, I wish I could remember his name, he was younger/​tall/​dark hair… he was very friendly and even interacted with my 1 year old son, which is always a bonus in my book, very accommodating, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Food was pretty good too with a nice variety!

My work crew and I wanted to try something new for our weekly outing. We landed on this place thanks to Unilocal.The place smells amazing; grilled meat is nothing to joke about. We all had salads on our minds and then we see the special menu and went astray.
I got the turkey chili and buffalo ranch flatbread. The portions are huge. I could have just eaten the chili and would have been satisfied. I like the food and I think the warm environment pulls the experience together.

I went here for the first time with my girlfriend. We sat at the bar. Our bartender (blonde girl with tattoos and dark lipstick) was very nice and friendly. We had the nachos with pulled pork. It was VERY good. I told my husband about this place and we went the next week. We sat at the bar and our bartender was Tiffany. She was NOT nice or friendly at all! She acted like we were bothering her. I bartend myself and would never be that unfriendly! My son and his friend have been there when she was bartending and said the same thing. If you are going to bartend, act like you like people and be friendly!
I had the Anyways pasta and that was very good. Unfortunately, my husband the fish tacos and they were very fishy and smelly.
I gave you 4 stars for my first experience and my 2 food choices. I will be back and hopefully I will get a nice bartender!

Eh, this place is okay, mostly bar food and not that great. We’ve been here three times and each time we said the same thing, Eh… For the same money The Village Tavern is where I recommend.

There really ought to be an Anyway’s in every town, because they’re almost always crowded and everything about them is good.
One of my best buddies and his wife joined us this past Saturday for a night of grubbin’ and drinking here at the Bloomingdale location and I’m happy to say it was just as good (if not better) as our usual Villa Park locale.
Great, great food. We tried the seasonal crab balls as an appetizer and I got my usual meatloaf, and so did Marcus B. It’s tender, well-​seasoned and flavorful.
Taki, (that’s what it said on the receipt) our server was terrific, keeping the drinks flowing and the food coming at a steady pace. And tho the noise level was pretty high since the place was packed full, we were still able to carry on a good conversation.
Anyway’s is always good for me. AnyTIME.

Terrible service. Waiters here have really mastered the art of making tables wait for them… forever.

I’m adding stars since the last time I reviewed it. Came here for a job outing and the service was great and the food was tasty this time for lunch time.

My husband and I thought we would try this place. My sisters always say how great it is. I will say that they have a big beer menu and a large food menu. However, I don’t see what my sisters see. I got the rib and steak dinner. The ribs were great, but the steak was cold and I asked for medium rare and got rare. Maybe it’s my fault that I got steak at an American restaurant?! Don’t think will be back again.

Dined many times and never disappointed. Love the Baja fish tacos with great slaw topping. When I’ve ordered sandwiches or burgers, they’re more than happy to sub fries for veggies. I do that so I can have dessert… all to myself! They know how to prepare their meat. I asked for a rare patty melt and actually got it! Their clam chowder is outstanding: great stock with fresh herbs and not thick, plenty of clams per spoonful. The servers are great and friendly. You really should just go already.

The bar at Anyways is friendly, the food is amazing especially for the price, and the regulars are characters right out of Cheers. They’ll make you feel like your one of the gang.

3 star for the food, maybe a two — just ok.
I ordered the Meatloaf, there was hardly any gravy and a small serving of what looked like day old veggies. It was just ok. I would not recommend due to the fact the meatloaf was not fresh, you can tell it had been sliced well before serving and looked as though the slices had been warmed on a pan. Flavor was meh.
Service was very good. that I cannot complain about.
Atmosphere was very nice too. They just need to work on their food.
I will give them another shot but kind of disappointed for a first time visit.
I will update my review next time I go, I hope to increase the stars.

Love this place have been here 3 times so far great food great staff will continue coming back.
I love the ribs my husband loves the bison burger our favorites.

Boyfriend and I love this place. Great crowd, wonderful employees, quick and delicious food and super cold beers. What else could you want?!?
* try the Mac and cheese and the fajita quesadilla mmmmmm

Thought I’d give this place a second chance. This time I looked up the specials menu and when I got there, that is the exact menu I got which is already an improvement from the last time I came. I ordered:
Ribs and Skewer: (14.00): 3 rib bones, some skewers of beef, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, bbq sauce and teriyaki glaze. There were hits and misses with this one. The misses were the lumpy mashed potatoes with plenty of skin and the ribs which were generic and slightly burnt. The hits were the skewers which were juicy and well cooked and the glaze was fantastic. The cole slaw was also pretty good.(See picture)
French onion: Same as before, pretty generic. They need to put it under the salamander longer to crisp up and brown the cheese more.
The service was pretty good last time and was even better this time. This place is really on the ball when it comes to service.
Overall I’m gonna have to say its still generic tasting which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Service is outstanding.
