Great local pub. Food and beers are excellent.

Heather is amazing we have been coming here since we moved here a few years ago and we love this place and keep our fingers crossed she is there everyone else is awesome as well but she is our favorite

This place never disappoints. I have never had a bad meal here. Especially love their crispy Buffalo chicken sandwich, short rib sandwich, and club sandwich. Their cheese curds and crispy cauliflower are great appetizers as well!

Great place for a beer. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere for drinks.

Friendly people and the place has a nice atmosphere for a relaxing drink. Parking: Free parking after 6pm

This is the 2nd time we have been here and it’s amazing! The food is excellent and I mean all food is excellent! The service very friendly! Beer was cold.

Great late night eats. Perfect service broader menu than expected.

Good food, great service and nice outdoor seating ! An awesome neighborhood spot

Great food selections all around here with great drink choices too. The fish tacos I had were spectacular and the street corn was unexpectedly amazing.

It’s a good comfort food bar. Short rib burger was actually very good. And I was very happy and surprised to see Meomi pino noir on their red wine list.

First time going there. Ana was a great waitress, the food was great, and the beer was perfect. Highly recommend!

Ana was great!!

A beautiful experience for an anniversary lunch !

Jeanine is the best ever she is so nice to my daughter and I

There was nice but very noisy. Food pretty good but not amazing. I had a good espresso martini.

I have no complaints whatsoever. I got the Mac n’ cheese with bacon and mushrooms, and I enjoyed every last bite of it. Let me tell you; they do not mess around with their toppings on the Mac and cheese, they absolutely loaded mine with the bacon and mushrooms. No doubt you get your money’s worth on the toppings here. The sauce was nice and creamy, the way cheese sauce should be, and it was a pretty large portion. I also got fries, and those were nice and crispy, a little salty, and good all around.

This place had a big variety of food options. The restaurant is finished really nicely. I was surprised it wasn’t too crowded for a Saturday night. My short rib tacos were very good. They came with Elotes which I’ve never had and I thought it was pretty good.

Great food and atmosphere

Great service. Love the burgers here. I got a salad in the past as well and it was fresh and the portion was big. I've sat at the bar and the bartenders are always friendly and the drinks solid. Great local spot tucked away in the "downtown" Mt Prospect area. Parking: Nearby parking lots and street parking

Good food and great beer list. Parking: Street or old Chase Bank lot Parking: Street or old Chase Bank lot

A little loud tonight due to a pub crawl. Food was excellent

Enjoyed my experience here. Service great 👍 Food was excellent, and every item was hot and delicious. Was a little busy, and the kitchen was a bit behind. But at the end of the day, it was well worth the quality 👌 👏 👍

I really like Emerson’s. Their drinks and food are fair price and pretty decent quality

I haven’t had great bar food in awhile, but let me tell you, this place does it right! Fish and chips are off the charts and the beer selection is phenomenal. Kudos to the chef for whatever the team has got going on there. Staff is friendly as well!

Great burgers, chicken sandwich, great great chili

This is my second time coming here and both times have been great! Very busy on a Tuesday afternoon is always a good time. Come here for good vibes and good food

Inary was very welcoming. She made my anniversary with my husband very memorable. She checked in on us, I really liked the service.

Inary made my experience very pleasant, the restaurant was busy yet she cleaned off a table and sat us there, it was best table in the house. She got my 2 year old a high chair without me even asking.

Love the food! Inary the hostess was super sweet and patient as taking my order over the phone. Would recommend this place.

Consistently good

Inary is A very good host she took my order over the phone and answered all my questions.

AMAZING food, drinks & service! Great variety on the menu for both food and beer! 3 words ITALIAN BEEF EGG-ROLLS-try them!

Drinks = good Food = good Service = great! Always a good time here with or without kids! Kid-friendliness: Had high top and low high chairs- which is the first time I’ve seen that! Amazing! Parking: Parked right in front! No walking!

Zach was awesome and very attentive! Our first time here. Food was great, staff was friendly. Can’t wait to come back

The food at Emerson’s is always great- we eat here quite a bit! Our server Zach was attentive and did a great job!

It was our first visit to this restaurant. We were seated right away. Great atmosphere, Great beer selection. Food was excellent, Emerson wrap was delicious. Appetizers were great too. Outstanding service by Mark. Whole staff was very attentive! Definitely coming back.

Best place to eat if you’re ever in downtown mount prospect. Great food and great service from the staff.

First time coming to Emerson’s and you have to go! It’s a great spot with amazing food. The Italian Beef Egg Rolls are to die for.

Really great👍

Emersons was one of the greatest experiences i’ve had dining in a long time. The food was incredible and the staff was very hardworking. I recommend this establishment for anyone who wants to have a great meal and a drink.

Food and service is great. The certain group of people who go there are disrespectful, despite a chair that was taken with a coat on the chair they insisted on trying to claim the spot. Very rude and disrespectful crowd. Very unrespectable people crowd. We love the place but don't the crowd that are there.

Love this place! Short Rib grilled cheese was amazing.

Super chill spot for good service, drinks and food!

Food was amazing and our bartender Julie is the absolute best! I recommend checking out this hot spot. Kid-friendliness: Extremely Kid friendly Parking: Tons of parking

Love this local place for Sunday football. Great patty melts, drinks, and service (thanks Julie!)

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options! Gluten free bunzzz for the win!

My family and I received the best service by Alyssa. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and had speedy service. The food was amazing and will refer all my friends and rest of my family to this restaurant and to be served by Alyssa.

Where to start! Emerson’s is by far the BEST bar food I have ever had in my life! The owner is so friendly and service is great. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

I liked the food and the service, the bartender (Alyssa) made sure I always had a cod beer! Thumbs up for that!

Peps the bartender is amazing energy!

Alyssa Rocks!!!!!

Peps is a great person, he treats us well. He’s always so positive, it rubs off.

Alyssa is an amazing bartender always so nice!

Alyssa is fantastic and is always accommodating to my special requests!!!

I love the food here, Inary has always been a good hostess even though the phone I know who I’m speaking too. She keeps a conversation going with you.

Great selection of beer

I’m shocked I haven’t reviewed Emerson’s yet, as I frequent this place. The food never disappoint and there are ample options. The prime rib sliders and crispy chicken sandwich are two of my favorite standouts. Also love the classic cheeseburger and you can never go wrong with some fresh fries! They do have a fun list of cocktails with rotating seasonal items, and they always have a great selection of beers. Definitely recommend.

Very pleasant experience! Great food and service! 🙂

It was very busy while we were there because of October fest but they seated us outdoors right away instead of having to wait for a table to open up. The food is absolutely delicious and they have a good selection of beer on tap. All the staff were accommodating and friendly. Also it wasn't hard go find parking even with the festivities nearby. I would love to eat here again if I have the chance.

Always good food. Was great to sit outside this afternoon.

Great staff, solid menu terrific beer selection.

Food was delicious and reasonably priced. They had a really good beer choices too

Great food Great service. Nice place to chill for a night out.

I was here for lunch with my husband. Our server was really nice and friendly girl. We ordered nachos and fish and chips, food was delicious.

Good beer, friendly service and I could eat those pretzel bites all day. Great place to visit with some outdoor seating. Will stop by again when I'm in the area.

Great sandwiches and burgers at a decent price. Good beer selection as well.

We loved the food. Highly recommend!
