The Silo - Lake Bluff

Pasta with meatballs brings me a lot of joy, and I’m feeling quite content after this dinner. I kicked off the meal with some fried mushrooms and wrapped it up with the pasta—now it's time for a nap. My wife ordered the half slab of ribs, and she said they were incredibly tender and cooked to perfection. The pictures below don’t truly capture how delicious the food was. I’ll definitely be back; I have my eye on some pizza!

I’ve been visiting this iconic restaurant for over 20 years, and it never gets old. It’s not only a favorite in Lake Bluff, but also beloved throughout the county and even recognized as a gem in the Chicagoland area. The menu is outstanding, featuring a great selection of beer, cocktails, and wine. This place excels not only because of its exceptional customer service but also due to the delicious food it offers, especially the pizza, along with a vibrant sports bar atmosphere. The SILO is consistently busy, often bustling with takeout orders during lunchtime on weekdays from employees of nearby businesses like Abbott, AbbVie, car dealerships, and more, as well as a steady stream of patrons for lunch and dinner. I’m always happy to support a local business and wish the owner(s) continued success and prosperity.

The last time I was here, I was still in College. My parents came here all the time before they moved away. We came back because of a wedding and after driving all day, Pizza sounded pretty good. My dad suggested we go here and it was pretty good overall. I think the largest surprise for me was the thin buffalo chicken pizza. It was so great! Just the right amount of everything! Just need to find an excuse to visit family again now.

We arrived here near the end of the evening and they appeared to be a bit rushed/ behind. Tried the grinder but personally didn't care for it. Would like to come back and give the pizza a chance next time I'm in town. Seems to have a family feel so a good place to bring your kids after a baseball game.

We started off with the big appetizer with fried mushrooms, fried chicken strip and fried mozzarella sticks. Very good with the ranch sauce but the tomato sauce was ok. We ordered the Supreme pizza thin crust and it was delicious but a little on the salter side! But for the price, you can't beat the great deal!
