“ I have to admit this was pretty fire! My girlfriend and chose here because it was close to our hotel. It didn't disappoint. We were greeted by the host very quickly upon arrival. They asked if we wanted a high or low top. We opted for low because highs are hard on my body. I wish we would have had a high. It felt like this little 2 top was squeezed onto the platform with 3, 4 top tables and there was very little room. My friend ordered a chocolate martini. It tasted like watered down chocolate syrup with straight vodka. Would NOT recommend. Our waitress was Patti, she was very quiet but efficient and good. My friend she ordered the burger. It was huge and Ashe kept saying how good it was and that she couldn't stop eating it. I opted for a crispy chicken sandwich, which is typically has a teriyaki slaw on it. I asked for mine without, but with pickles, mayo and onions. They did not skimp! I ordered the tater tots with my meal. We also had to take dessert with us. We ordered the turtle brownie and carrot cake. We took them to go. By the time we made it back to the hotel we were ready for dessert. They even boxed up ice cream and whipped cream. Both desserts were fantastic! Highly recommend. ”

“ Stopped for dinner before a Christmas service at Willow Creek and enjoyed a decent experience overall. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I opted for the Jack Daniels burger with tater tots. The burger was cooked perfectly and had great flavor--definitely a highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the tater tots didn't measure up and were a bit of a disappointment. To drink, I had a Hacker-Pschorr beer, which was excellent and paired well with the meal. Overall, a solid pre-service dinner with a few highs and lows! ”

“ We've been meaning to try The Assembly for many years and finally made it! What a fun place to visit at the holidays especially. The decor was so warm and inviting, and the service was great. It seemed that they might be a bit understaffed but everyone including the manager was helping out so everything ran smoothly. The potato skin appetizer was loaded with cheese and so delicious. The burgers, while not the "best I've ever had" as some reviews have said, were decent. I was honestly more impressed with the sides personally. The cole slaw was amazing. The potato salad was great. The french fries and tots were top notch. They have a small video poker/gambling room near the entrance, and the bar is a fun place to watch them cook the burgers. Whether it's a date night or family outing, I would recommend The Assembly! ”

“ It's the Assembly, a South Barrington watering hole and burger spot. It's been there for as long as I can remember. There are other menu items, but You can watch the bartender grill your burger right in front of You. This is a cool somewhat legendary spot. Stop n for a brew and bite. But remember this is the old school Assembly - dark for a reason, but always fun. ”

“ The serving size is substantial, and the cost is appropriate. My burger was cooked to perfection by the chef. I delight in every taste of it. ”

“ I've been a few times now. It's a really fun spot to meet up with folks at since it's right off the highway. I always prefer going in during the week when it's kind of dead so I can sit at the bar and watch them make burgers. The burgers which, of course, they're known for. I've had a few of them now, but I personally think the BBQ one with onion straws is my favorite. It's simple, it's laid back, and it's good vibes all around. It's really easy to feel stuffed after a meal here, so be prepared for a food coma. ”

“ My husband and I came here the other day and we really enjoyed our experience. For a long time, we saw this place was recommended on Facebook and other social media sites, so we needed to try it for ourselves and were not disappointed. Upon walking in, the place was pretty busy, but we were able to be seated right away. The dining room was a lot bigger than I expected, and because of that, we were able to sit in a more secluded area away from the bar. I can't say enough great things about the service that we had at this restaurant, especially because nowadays, good service is hard to come by. Our waitress was so friendly and was consistently ready to get us anything that we needed. While we were eating, the manager and/or owner also came by and asked us how everything was and just seemed to be professional and proud of his business. Foodwise, everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. We ordered the soft pretzels ($11.79) for the appetizer; these were incredibly soft and came with three different dipping sauces: beer cheese, cinnamon butter, and German mustard. Now, I'm normally not a hamburger or cheeseburger person, but I did end up ordering the El Paso Burger ($18.47), which had spicy bacon, sautéed jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, and guac on it. It was AMAZING and so juicy. My husband also enjoyed his burger, which was The Original Char Burger ($18.77). Then, both of us ordered the tots for our sides, and these were perfectly seasoned and crispy. Ultimately, we both would come here again, and we can see why it's rated so highly by many locals. The owners also have a touching fundraiser dedicated to their nephew Adam, who went through a life-changing shallow water diving accident. His story around the restaurant in different places so that if patrons are willing, they can donate to him and his family. ”

“ We were staying at the hotel across the street (very convenient) and decided to walk over. The ambience was very cozy and everyone was so nice. The parking lot was pretty spacious. We are not from Illinois so it always feels funny walking into local restaurants where everyone knows each other but we were quite comfortable. The food was AMAZING! Which I was just expecting regular bar food but they really put their hearts and minds into that menu. The parm burger was juicy and unexpectedly delicious. If we are ever in that area again, we will be back. 1113. Zero. Thank you ”

“ Visited The Assembly for the first time and had a great time! Experienced good service and enjoyed the chill ambiance inside. Sat in a general seating area but you can sit at the bar and watch them grill your burgers! Ordered a Texas bbq burger and a bionic burger and was impressed with the size, quality, and flavor the burgers. Normally not a huge fan of coleslaw but was pleasantly surprised after trying and enjoying theirs. The cucumber margarita was refreshing and the Long Island was $5 on Fridays. UPDATED: Went back to see what thirsty Thursdays are about and ordered the sampler platter w/ cheese curds, tenders, and stuffed potatoes skins. Super good deal considering the price to quantity of food ratio. Cheese curds were definitely my favorite w/ stuffed potatoes in close second. ”
