Michelle was the best waitress I’ve encountered in recent months. Super friendly, recommending everything from the menu, knowing how each dish is prepared and what it contains. I also really appreciated the way she communicated with the customers and stayed smiling the entire time. Thank you so much for the excellent service, food, and atmosphere.

Food taste great loved the atmosphere the host Julissa was awesome would love to come back again

We were hungry before we got there, but once there the scent of good food filled the air and we could not wait to dig in. It seemed pretty busy so we expected to be waiting awhile, however, we were quickly seated. We both ordered different food to try and everything delicious! Our server Samantha was on top of her game-no drink ever went below half before offered more and she was very attentive and friendly! Overall, I would say this is a great place to throw into the restaurant rotation with a great atmosphere and service.

My husband and I were in town visiting. We had dinner and drinks at Emerson’s. Our server Samantha B, gave us amazing service! She was friendly, helpful and on point w bringing everything we needed to our table. The food was great and drinks even better, we will for sure be back!

Ale’s house is a must!! I never write google reviews but I simply had to for the quality of food, the atmosphere and the love for customers. The service here was incredible, espically from our server Samantha! She was truely amazing she provided fast, thoughtful service as well as engaging with her customers.

Zara is often our server at Emerson’s and she makes every visit very enjoyable. She really adds to our visits and keeps us coming back.

This is one of my favorite spots in mount prospect. The food was very good and there were a lot of options to choose from. The service was amazing, my server's name was Zara and she did a good job taking care of me and my family. She was on her A game the whole time and did an excellent job. The atmosphere is also very nice I really like the decor and the overall vibe of the restaurant. I will definitely be coming back in the future!

i’ve NEVER had a better server in my life than ZARA. She was truly the best ever. awesome personality. spectacular charisma. all around amazing experience.

I had such a great time here. The food and atmosphere were amazing, but I was just astonished by the host. Julissa was the most friendly and welcoming host. She made sure we had the greatest experience. I hope we see her next time.

Fantastic Spot! The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, our server Alex was friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or a bit, this place delivers! Definitely coming back!

The food is always amazing. The cooks are fantastic. The atmosphere is relaxing, yet energetic when appropriate. Ive been there for live music and Bears games too. The manager always plays my home team on one of the TV's when the occasion suits it, and the draft beer selections are on point. The staff are EXTREMELY hospitable and great service. Samantha B. and Dymond are amazing and talented.

Great spot! Samantha B was our server and was lovely!

Samantha had great service!!

Samantha B was awesome, great service.. great food.

Zara was great! Definitely recommend coming in for her. She was one of the best servers I’ve ever had!

Food and drinks at Emerson's are always delicious! But what makes Emerson's even more amazing is their staff. Specifically, our server Crystal! She was very friendly and attentive, and made great recommendations on what to get. 10/10 will go back because of her!

Zara made my entire night! Will be going back to visit her again soon!

Best atmosphere, good music , and nice people! My server Zara was so friendly and made our experience so easy and special!

Stopped into Emerson’s Ale House and had a great time. Zara took care of us and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. She checked in at the right times and kept everything moving even when it got busy. Really solid service.

Julie and Kamren serve was unbelievable and the food was outstanding!!!!

Loved this place and especially Zara was an absolute sweet heart. She made the place and environment so worth it!

Zara is outstanding. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. She knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything came out exactly how we wanted it. Our drinks were never empty, timing was perfect, and she checked in just the right amount without ever hovering. Zara’s positive attitude and professionalism made the entire experience feel special. Emerson’s is lucky to have her I’ll definitely be asking for Zara again next time.

Julie is a fantastic server/bartender and the food was excellent. Will definitely come back.

I had a great experience at Emerson’s. Food was great and the atmosphere was great. I had Zara as my server and she was very helpful and considerate. I will definitely be coming back.

We love Emerson's! Food is always amazing and the staff is fabulous...in particular, Julie, Nick, and Sylvester, are so attentive and friendly to their customers. Our faves in terms of food are the prime rib sliders, the ale house chopped salad, buffalo chicken wrap, pesto chicken parm, and the short rib birria tacos. Oh, and the black bean burger too! Run, don't walk to this place ...but don't even try taking my favorite spot at the bar! 😃

I love their salads and their drinks. When I go in Julie is always so helpful and friendly!

Julie and Nick make this a go to place. Local. Great food. Reasonable prices. One of my favs.

Ate at the bar - had delicious food and yummy Bloody Marys from Julie - bartender extraordinaire!

We had an excellent experience thanks to our server, Zara. She was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. Zara handled everything with confidence and maturity, making sure our orders were correct and checking in at just the right times. Her positive attitude and genuine care really stood out and made our meal even more enjoyable. Outstanding service—we’ll definitely be back and we hope to see Zara again soon!

Good food, good people, great staff. I highly recommend the buffalo wrap, I come back for it every time! Special thank you to our server, Zara, who made our dinner experience extraordinary. Will be coming back soon.

Julie Heather Crystal Mark Nick Zara Diamond Everyone is amazing. I feel like family.

Alex was an exceptional, very prompt and gave great commendations on drinks and appetizers

Emerson's Ale House is a staple in Mount Prospect! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and lively—the perfect spot for a casual meal or to catch a game. What truly stood out on our visit was the Ale House Fish & Chips. It was, without a doubt, one of the best versions I've ever had. The fish was perfectly flaky and moist inside, encased in a light, incredibly crispy batter that wasn't greasy at all. The portion was generous, and the chips (fries) were seasoned just right. It's clear that quality ingredients and care go into every dish. The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area. We can't wait to come back! This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion

Run don't walk for the eggrolls.

One of our go to spots in Mount Prospect for “bar food”. Fantastic wraps! Service is solid.

Emerson’s Ale is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner George and manager Nick and bartender Julie is very nice. The restaurant is in great condition! This is the best fish fry I’ve ever had in my life! Must come back. 10/10.

Fish Tacos and Wheat Ale!

We were walking on Tuesday night from Des Plaines and found this place on the way. Since there were many people inside and again that was Tuesday night we decided to check it out. It turned out they have all day happy hour. We ordered an $11 burger and 2 beers. I was expecting something kinda crappy, but it was better than $17 burger with fries in some pubs in Arlington Heights. Very surprised. Didn't expect it. Definitely good place to visit at least once. Don't have pictures. It was really good

Rueben was really yummy, guy serving was cool

Top neighborhood spot. Try the fish tacos or sliders. They won’t disappoint.

Best food and atmosphere in town! My new favorite spot. My mom loved her fish and chips and the Emerson wrap is fantastic!!!

The food was delicious and the service was great.

Love this place! Bartenders are super friendly. All the staff is on point. Food is amazing. Go for happy hour!

Love theirs patio and food and beer

First time in , couldn’t have been more pleased and impressed. Julie and Kamren do a phenomenal job ! And all the food was amazing 🤩
