Great meal. Started by dipping the bread in olive oil with Parmesan cheese. Worked our way onto a delish cheese pizza. Thank you by the way! Chopped salad and Brick chicken are always delish. Management and our waitress were wonderful. Thank you again. We really enjoy the atmosphere you’ve created.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. Have never had anything but great experiences here. Seemed like each time one of our party ordered; someone else at the table re-evaluated their selection and changed their order. The choices are really good, it would be hard to go wrong. Our Server was patient with the changes and did a great job. Everyones food was excellent and we had a great time catching up with old friends. Thanks

We always try to sit in the a booth in the bar area. Cathy is the best server and bartender. We like the food and atmosphere. We were happy to see they had a broth based soup today. I wish Wildfire would always have at least 1 broth based soup item. Cream soups don't agree with many many people. We recommend Wildfire in Lincolnshire IL
