Dead End Bar & Grill

Great food..get the cheesecake if its not sold out....the staff is super friendly.
Some local regulars are brain dead but most people are normal and good to talk to. Fun atmosphere to have some drinks and some food.

Pizza was awesome. Looked menu and definitely going back. So many awesome choices. Very friendly.

Pizza is always great. Placed a last-minute order for eight XL pizzas and they we so nice about it and got our order done in a perfect amount of time! Thank you!

Best thin crust pizza around! The soups are great too! Try the Mac n Cheese bites for an appetizer!

The Dead End is one of my favorite bars in the country! Every year I visit my best friend in Fox River Grove and we always go to the Dead End and have an amazing time! The drinks are good and cheap! There’s old style in tap and the gluten free pizza is amazing! You would have no idea it’s a cauliflower crust it tastes just like a usual chicago pizza and the crust is so crispy (which can be a struggle for gluten free crusts)!

We took a staycation in the area and decided to check out the place because the kitchen was open late. So glad we came in! Parking was easy. Location is right by the river. We were immediately greeted by the bartender, Laura. We told her we were visiting and she rolled out the welcome wagon. She told us about all the local fun things to do. She gave us a history of the town. We tried the special burgers, fries, macaroni salad, onion rings, chili, and cheesecake. Everything tasted amazing! I thought for being a little bar it might just be frozen pizzas or that everything would just be greasy. Instead everything was seasoned and presented well and the drinks were great! We had some fun cocktails. The other customers were friendly and engaging. Laura told us the history of the bar and it’s owners. It’s great to see a place with so much heart and history. Visit on a Friday when Laura is there she is so great. I tried to tip her a lot for her hospitality and she didn’t want to take it all (we snuck it back to her anyway 😌) the music was also fun - 80s rock. Prices were very reasonable. The kitchen staff was also really fun. Cheesecake is from a local baker and it was ridiculously good. Thanks for the great time! We will definitely be back!

Pizza was pretty darn good, and the owner's are super friendly and welcoming . Right next to the beautiful Fox River . You can place an order and pull up in your boat right off the river and park at the dock. You can do the same if you want to eat in .
They have a spacious deck outside next to the Fox River with comfortable chairs and tables.
They also have a Great selection of video gaming machines that pay out very generously.
They have hired some great new help . So stop on by , as they are located at 98 Northwest Highway Fox River Grove ,Illinois. So keep an eye out for this fabulous family owned establishment.
I wish them nothing but an amazing successful future.

The pizza is THAT good! Casual, friendly & just a good bunch of people

Wow, we tried their pizza and what a surprise, it was fantastic. We have tried different toppings and ALL are winners. They make their own crust and
Sauce with lots of Wisconsin cheese. I'm sold and hands down always going down to the Dead End for my pizza fix. Give them a try and then write a review. BTW we take out and they do a great job of it.

Best chili I've had in years.

It was creamy and chunky. Hot and smooth. A delicious meal by itself. As for Dead End, it is a great, welcoming bar on the tip of the Chain of Lakes on the westernmost tip of Fox River Grove--the place where friends are made and last forever.

Known for its pizzas, they do a ton of other from scratch food like fries, soup, chips, wings and the best chili I've had in years.

Men's bathroom was spotless as well!

Great place for pizza, bartenders and the owner are all very friendly! Go for the pizza stay for a beer. They have other items on the menu that are also very good.

My mom and brother work here and it is a very nice place. The wings are really good. Their pizza's are good too. And they were on chicago best for their pizza. I like everybody that works their they are kind. Definitely Recommend.

The pizza is incredible and the staff was very friendly. We will definitely be coming back.

A fun place to stop in and have a drink. There are two piers if you're pulling up on the boat. Wilbur pours an honest drink and his wife serves up some really great bar food. Try the pizza, you wont be disappointed! The gaming machines are fun, but a little tight. Guess that is the state of Illinois' fault though haha

Pizza twas delish! Thought there was only one piece of pepperoni but it was under the cheese! Only downfall the wind took the mozzarella sticks right off the box and spilled a little of the marinara. But not too much! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new pizza in town!

Whenever I am in the area on business I stop in at the Dead End Bar for their AMAZING PIZZA! (right up their with the best) I had seen a review on their Chile and decided to tread off the usual eaten track.. OH MY! DELICIOUS, DELLICIOUS, DELICOUS.. I'm hooked on this place.. Let me mention that the staff make you feel right at home.. This place is a gem..

Pizza was pretty darn good, and the owner's are super friendly and welcoming .

Nice retro townie bar on the river. Food and prices are great.

Busy night with just 1 bartender. Gotta say though, that Kate handled the crowd like a pro. Dead End is lucky to have her!!!

I have enjoyed everything I have ordered from their menu.
Great BBQ sauce and ranch dressing.
Great pizza too.
The place still has great food and service.
