"Pierce Tavern has quickly become a staple in Downers Grove. It’s prime, corner lot location in downtown Downers makes it easily accessible by both train and car. I’ve had multiple dishes on the menu and each is as good as the next. I’m honestly a pretty tough critic, but have to say this place is always at top of mind when planning dinner and drinks. The bartenders are quick, friendly, and efficient. Management seems present and attentive to operations as well."

The two ladies working door should really watch what they say and keep their prejudices comments to themselves

Great staff and atmosphere. Food was delicious, but have to agree with some people's comments food was over hyped. Will come back again.

Food came out of the kitchen quickly and was delicious! The maple bacon brussel sprouts are absolutely killer!!! My steak sandwich was cooked perfectly and so we're the cauliflower bites. The bar tender that served us was on point and the atmosphere is unique and homey. I will definitely be back. 5 out of 5 all day. Super solid place. View menu

This is a decent spot! Food and service are good and the menu is definitely unique and interesting. I personally love the animal fries and would highly recommend upgrading to them if possible. The vibe of the place is very relaxed and loud, so I wouldn’t recommend coming here if you have any hearing problems or aren’t a fan of loud places.

Pierce Tavern is such a hidden gem! The ambience is super relaxed and cozy. Everything was clean. The cocktails are absolutely amazing. The food is delicious. And the service was fantastic. Rose was wonderful — such a great personality, had great recommendations, and timed out all the food we ordered perfectly, which we really appreciated. Definitely can't wait to go back!

"Made reservations for my husbands 80th Birthday, which we mentions upon making the reservations. We arrived, the hostess said table is ready, stated 80th. birthday, she said someone hit the wrong key 89. The 4 of us were seated, and there was a used wine glass on our table. Ordered 4 cocktails from the bar. Bread brought to the table, I asked once again for the glass to be removed, the man removed it. We ordered appetizers, the 4th person wanted shrimp cocktail, he did not hear her. Our appetizers arrived first, no drinks. We were half was through our appetizers when the drinks arrived. We ordered soup, shrimp lobster bisque, it was okay. We placed orders for the entrees. My husband ordered swordfish, it was dry and the side vegetable was hard not cooked enough. One of our party asked for steaksauce, they did not have that. I had Lambchops, they were good, but the vegetable was hard not cooked enough. My husband had a taste for a Brandy Alexander, no blender. We shared ice cream and brandy on top. Bill was $480.50. No mention of birthday, no special dish! Our waiter, mention that they had 75 people cancel and they were sending staff home early. Also, he mentioned he was a bartender. I mentioned to the hostess what happened about the special occasion, she said oh I can call the manager. I said no because we will not be returning. We live 5 minutes from Indiana, that is quite a distance to travel."

"I had a fantastic meal last weekend at this supper club restaurant that we brought my mom to. It was the first time at Carnivore The Queen. From the outside the restaurant is nothing special as it’s in a small strip mall and there’s not a lot of parking. Don’t let that fool you. Once inside, it’s decorated very nicely with black walls ceilings, beautiful lighting and artwork. There’s a bar in each dining area as well. There’s a small front and side, outdoor patio with umbrella tables, too.Our server was Zane, who was very personable and engaging. He gave us the history of the name of the restaurant, when I inquired and explained the menu. He made the dining experience that much better.My husband and I started out with cocktails. I requested a mezcal paloma and my husband had one of the old fashioneds, the Minocqua which was amazing. Next time I’m getting that cocktail.We started with a relish tray that we shared comprised of beer cheese dip, ham salad, housemade crackers, crudités, olives and cornichons. The relish tray is definitely a throwback to the supper clubs of the past. It’s good for two to share. I I asked for bread, which was served warm with salted butter topped with fried basil and salt. I was surprised there was a charge for the bread. With the high prices at this restaurant, it would be a nice touch for their customers to provide complimentary bread and charge for the second loaf, if requested.My mom and husband had the beef wellington, which was the Saturday night special. It was fantastic. Perfectly flaky crust, and the fillet was cooked as requested, medium rare, I had the seared scallops, which were perfectly grilled and tender and fresh.This restaurant is pricey, but worth it. There is a five-course signature supper for 66, which would include the relish tray, wedge salad. shrimp crab Louie, roasted chicken, and dessert. You can swap out the roasted chicken for another entrée with an upcharge. I think that is the way to go so you can have a little bit of everything from the menu and control the price.I can’t think of one negative about our dining experience except the charge for bread. I’d like to come back for a burger and cocktails at the bar Their way burgers look fabulous! I definitely recommend this restaurant, but be prepared for sticker shock. We don’t mind paying for great service and food, but others may not. FYI"
