Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery

What a joke our table was not cleared off the whole time we where there (while hawks game 3 hours)! Over priced 4.50 for Miller lite blah. Food is bad. Also forgot about the bathroom water/​piss all over the floor. Garbage can full paper towels all over the floor. Bring your galoshes! This place will be closed within year. Stay clear

Pros: They have a good selection of craft beers on tap. I think it was around 20 beers. The place looked nice and it was clean. Craft beers were $ 6.50 nothing had a price. They have a big bar. Cons: waitress took forever for everything, we had to keep flagging her down! Wings were bad, they had a frozen after taste. The burger was ok, nothing special.

Lame game day with NFL ticket. The Bears fans would rather watch replays of their loss. Been trying to get other games on and no one is paying attention. Worst Tilted Kilt ever!

Just walked out of this place after 20 min of no service. Pathetic. Short skirts don’t go a long way.

Horrible service. I went there the other day with a buddy. It took about 10min to be seated. Even though the place was 80% empty. Then sat there expecting for someone to. oh I don’t know come see if we needed anything, maybe bring water tell us what the specials are. 15min passed and nothing. Waitresses where busy with their friends I guess. So we left they probably didn’t notice. Went to hooters instead and got great service.

The worst experience ever… The server was busy talking to a group of people and didn’t even respond to us … The service is awful I wouldn’t say all the servers are that way but the server I got was awful no work ethics … Don’t know how to treat customers… Hello we are here waiting for her to respond but she is busy chatting … And then she was racist … Worst experience

First and foremost I would like to state that my rating is not based on the service or quality of food I received! My server Kara was fantastic and the food was great and the manager Joe was very sympathetic and apologetic, but I’m giving 1 star because I am a mother. A mother to a 10 month old. I understand that Tilted Kilt does not particularly cater to women; however, your servers are women… capable of bearing children. Because you don’t have an infant friendly restroom, I was forced to change my daughter on a tiny chair without being able to strap her in and provide her security and for that reason, I will not be returning to this establishment. What restaurant in today’s age doesn’t have a changing table!!!

Don’t order a tall drink. They will charge you double the price for just adding a little more soda.

We used to go here for lunch from work quite often. Also for after work drinks.
Today a group of five of us went for lunch. We waited 1 hour 30 mins for our food. Yes, ONE HOUR THIRTY MINUTES. The poor waitress was very polite and kept updating us, but it was simply unacceptable. Apparently they had no bus boy, no host and were down on wait staff. They should not have accepted tables in these circumstances. To top it off, their turkey burger which used to be delicious has been changed to a cheap old patty and was just fair. One of our beers was completely dead. I will never set foot in here again.

First time there tonight with hubby for a Friday night dinner. 2 stars for the pretty girls and great food but the service was NOT good at all!
For a Friday night this place was dead. We were there from 7pm-​9pm and no one was there. We were seated right away but no sign of our waitress for about 10 minutes. They were folding settings and polishing forks but no one waited on us until I started looking around. After we placed our orders, it took literally 45 minutes for us to get our food. We can see our burgers sitting on the counter but she just won’t bring it to us. After waiting for another 5 minutes after the food came out, I had to ask another waitress if she can kindly bring us our food because otherwise, I’m just going to get it myself. I told her we waited 45 minutes and the place is anything but busy. So another waitress brought our food to our table. Still no sign of our waitress.
Food was great I gotta say. The wings were delicious. My cheddar burger with bacon and egg rocked. Their garlic fries were amazing. And my hubby enjoyed his fish & chips burger with sriracha mayo which gave that extra kick. Still no sign of our waitress…
The place was freezing! Luckily I brought a cardigan with me on a hot summer day just in case of something like this where it is freezing cold in the restaurant. Otherwise… I would be shaking it was so cold.
Other than the food being great… finally our waitress came with our check. She did ask us how our food was and I must admit… I wasn’t really happy with her so I said fine and that’s it.
Would I go back to this tilted kilt? Probably not. Would I go to another tilted kilt for their great food? Probably… just hopefully I get a better waitress or a more organized franchise because this experience was not a pleasant one. Too bad because their food was actually pretty good.

Wow… where do I begin here? First of all, I’ll explain how I ended up here.
I came into town for work, and it was 11 at night. Everything was pretty much closed besides bars and chains such as this. I told myself «hmm, Scottish/​Irish food? Why not!»
I walk in and the place was empty (no judgement yet, after all, it was 11pm)
I look over the menu which reads like an American Grill more than anything Celtic. They had burgers, pizzas, philly cheese steak and things like that. Yes, they had an Irish stew and Fish and Chips (not really scottish or irish) but for the most part it was American cuisine. Disappointment.
The server comes to my table and that is when the night began to slide off track. I could not believe the conversation (if you call it that) I was having with her. I’ll put it this way, it is a damn good thing she was very pretty because otherwise she would struggle in life. I asked for the special of the day and she told me Goose Island Shandy… I told her that I meant food and she said «oh! that would be our hamburger»…I need to showcase this conversation to have you get a better handle on what I dealt with.
«Ok, but first of all, Goose Island does not make a shandy, and what kind of special of the day is „Hamburger“? Does it have anything special on it?» I asked.
She said «Oh yeah, like bacon, and uh jalapenos, and stuff»
«What kind of stuff» I asked her.
«I’m not really sure» she replied.
«Alright, no big deal I guess. How about your shandy, you mentioned Goose Island… are you sure that is what it is? I do love shandy and I’ll try anything but Leinenkugel as I’m not a fan of their shandy»
She said, «Yeah, I’m pretty sure, let me go check»
She came back and told me she was wrong, and it wasn’t Goose Island but it was another beer she couldn’t pronounce. I asked, almost defeated from this conversation at this point, if she could spell it. She looked around for a moment, took a drink menu from another table, and pointed at it. Anyone else playing along at home right now has probably guessed it. Leinenkugel. Sigh.
I passed on the beer, ordered the burger special, and quickly ran for the hills after paying for the check.
PS: The second star is for the burger. It was cooked a perfect medium and was delicious. I would say they use fresh chuck versus frozen if I had to guess because the burger was very fresh.

Great place to see a game, lots of TVs and they turn the sound on whatever is popular. Service is good, they kind of take the H place to an Irish theme. What I ordered was not really bar food, more of a restaurant dish and it was overcooked. I bet their wings are good, will have to try something like that the next time.
Place is fairly loud.

This is not my first visit to tilted kilt, I have visited the Schaumburg and Roselle locations and have had a great experience. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had. My friend and I came in last Saturday right after the Hawks game and the place was just empty. We were seated but then no one showed up to our table for the next 20 minutes, we were not even served water. Then i had to raise my hand and call someone, after which we were asked if we need anything, SERIOUSLY!!!
My friend wanted to have some beers and relax but he just lost it and we just asked for water. We were offered water after 10 minutes. So we were in there for 30 minutes and all we had was water.
Also when you check in on Unilocal it shows a coupon saying you get free Irish nachos, but when we asked for it, we were told that we need to like them in Facebook to get that. At that point all we wanted was to get some food and get out. We ordered a burger and Gaelic chicken and paid the bill and just walked out. Will never again visit this location.

Great Irish nachos and Irish stew (odd for a Scottish themed place). Pleasant atmosphere lovely nice waitresses.

I like the food here. Honest!
We were going to get sandwiches for lunch, but the Which Wich had «technical difficulties» and closed right as we were rolling in at 11:00a. Which was inconvenient for them, and as we had a very hungry 3-​year old in the backseat, left me with only one option.
I got a California burger with sweet potato fries, my wife got a bacon-​chicken burger with garlic fries, and my kid wanted a grilled cheese with regular french fries.
The first thing I need to remember for the next time is that I should stop ordering California burgers. It was good burger, don’t get me wrong; the guacamole was the right texture and (partially) seasoned, the turkey was well cooked and browned. But there wasn’t any cheese or further seasoning. This is par for the course for a California burger (really, and sadly), though, so I can’t fault them too much for this.
All the fries, though — sweet potato, garlic and plain — were great. Excellent crunch and texture. My sweet potato fries were seasoned and salted very well, too.
Service was… meh. I’m going to chalk it up to being 11:00 in the morning on a Saturday? Wasn’t terrible but I thought it should have been better, especially since the price level is above average ($ 42 including tax and tip for 2 adults and a toddler).
But anyway. The food was pretty good, so I’d come back.

Food wasn’t that good, below average bar appetizers
My co-​workers and I had corned beef and cabbage spring rolls — ehhh /​boneless wings — decent /​cheese bites — too much dough /​and the whiskey beef — tasted like a TV dinner. The mustard dipping sauce had a funky taste too
The beer was alright, can’t mess that up. Long Island iced teas were too sweet…
We went after work, it was all business men at 5pm. I’m sure everyone goes to Tilted Kilt for the women, not the food. The ladies were cute, thin, and ditzy. Our waitress messed up a few things with our order
We won’t be returning even though I was with male co-​workers. Maybe this joint is the «Irish» version of Hooters? I prefer Hooters

This place continues to register an average rating for me. The food is probably deserving of 4 stars for this type of place, but the staff has continued to disappoint.
I am 90% sure our waitress this past Friday afternoon was smoking the wacky tabacky somewhere… otherwise she was extremely out of it or clueless. I’d like to think they wouldn’t hire someone who is normally like this. Anyhow, besides this most recent experience, I have never left here saying I had an awesome time… At the same time have never been utterly disappointed either. I’m sure I’ll be back… Meh.

I’ve been here numerous times, my friend Nick likes to hit on the waitresses or bartenders, and we enjoy the beer and bar food. I’m a huge fan of fried anything, because I’m fat at heart, so bar food is always a win for me. Boyfriend had chicken quesadillas and hot wings, I had the chicken tenders and some mozzarella sticks. Yum. We were not disappointed. To make a great place Better, One of my awesome friends recently changed locations and now works at this location. She’s made the atmosphere that much hotter, so you should go too!

Of all the Kilts we’ve been to with a patio, this one is depressing. There are only 4 tables fenced in on a narrow sidewalk. There’s no tv, music or lamp warmers (it’s been an unpredictable summer), just the sound of traffic on Rt 22 and a view of a strip mall parking lot. For these reasons, we didn’t sit outside.
Although most of the parking spots were available, we unfortunately picked the one and only space with an oil slick which went unnoticed until the kickstand slipped from under Jason. If I hadn’t gotten off the motorcycle first… whoa!
It was the first time I tried their Grilled Chicken Quesadillas. Grilled chicken, peppers and onions with melted cheddar and jack cheeses, stacked in between jalapeño cheese tortilla. Served with a scoop of guacamole, sour cream, salsa and garnished with an abundance of shredded lettuce. I will order this again. Next time, I’ll ask for more guacamole and less sour cream.

Hooters + Irish pub = Tilted Kilt
Maybe it was the location, or the company I was with, but my experience at this TK was significantly better than the few others I’ve been to in the past. My buddy and I had two different servers – the first one was forgettable, but the second girl, Heather, was much more attentive. A tall Coors Light (shut up), was $ 4.50, which for a Wednesday night is not a terrific value.
I was impressed with their «Inferno» burger, as far as taste is concerned. However, I told our waitress to tell the chef to ‘kick it up a few notches’, and I couldn’t help but feel a tad let down. When I see a menu item with a little red pepper icon next to it, I like to call the cook’s bluff on how much they can ramp up the heat… especially when I give them special instructions to do so. Tilted Kilt’s Inferno burger barely even registered on my heat scale, which brings us to the very first edition of…
~The Sticky Fingers Challenge~
Competitor: Oak Brook Terrace Tilted Kilt
Menu Item: ‘Inferno’ Burger
Highlights: sliced jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, spicy mayo, red pepper flakes
Verdict: 1 out of 4 screaming skulls
Bottom Line: excellent flavor, weak heat
The chips were great, and for $ 11, I wasn’t totally disappointed with my order. My friend enjoyed his fish & fries, as well as the ahem, ‘scenery’ that’s guaranteed at any TK location. We also played trivia and won $ 15 bucks, so we’re obviously returning to cash in on that.
