Brandt's Of Palatine

If you havent been here lately, you're missing out! Best cheese curds I've ever eaten. Firecracker shrimp and burgers are just top notch! Cant wait to visit again soon!

First time here , My friend was in from AZ so we decided to try it , It was referred to me from my Cousin , Why I waited so long I will never know!! We Both ordered mushroom Burgers and that was the best one I have had in years , The Fries were great and the coleslaw hands down the best , It was busy but had great service the whole experience was fabulous.

Brandt's offers a great place to enjoy fantastic burgers, excellent chili, amazing cheese curds, and I'm sure a number of other great items that I have yet to try. All in a homey friendly atmosphere. Top notch service also included.

Let me tell you first off I'm not a coleslaw guy but I'm really not a big beans guy so I ordered the coleslaw for a side. there's a reason why I'm telling you this before I say anything about the meal. this is what coleslaw is supposed to taste like. this place is well over a 2-hour drive to my house but I'm coming here every time I want coleslaw. I've never had coleslaw like this. it's supposed to taste like this. it's not watery or too spicy or to blend it has the right amount of crunch and I just don't understand why I can't order just the bowl of coleslaw if I can order a bowl of soup! okay now on to the meals, this place was recommended to Us by a retired chef who sold me his car that same day. I asked if there was anything in the area and this is where he pointed us to. I have the quesadilla burger which was not served on bread, I guess everybody else does it wrong! it had a lot of guacamole on it, didn't skimp on anything. there was a nice variety for my side selection they had homemade chips or crinkle fries or something or regular fries or steak fries. I got the steak fries and she got regular fries. we ended up switching because we like each other's better. she had a burger I think it was called the black and bleu, red blue cheese on it. she doesn't eat bread so she was missing out. the bread looks fantastic. you might think it's a little pricey but getting a burger and fries and McDonald's is 10 bucks these days. these burgers I believe were $13.99. They have a nice holiday drink list but we didn't try anything. prices were listed on everything except for the wine and beer list which I assume changes all the time with the ridiculous Illinois alcohol taxes. great place, we'll probably be back soon.

The food was pretty good...a bit above average. The service was really good. It was busy when we went, but overall I'd say it was worth the wait. The cheese curds as an appetizer were amazing, and same with the firecracker shrimp.
