Came for dinner on a Saturday night. Goat cheese appetizer - bubbling hot and very tasty. Chicken Saltimbocca sandwich with Cajun fries - delish. Blue Horse Burger - just great. Good servcie and fun pub/bar atmosphere. Enjoyed having such good food at a non-chain restaurant. We will be back.

Food was cold, took a long time to come out, sevice was ok. It's just your average comfort food and pub bar. Dime a dozen, better places to eat right in town. Will not be back...

My wife had never tasted Corned Beef & Cabbage before, and since eating this delicious, hearty meal has always been a long-standing St Patrick's Day tradition within my family I decided to introduce it to her. I figured Elgin Public House would have a special for St Patrick's Day and they indeed put together a separate 7-8 item menu specifically... More

EPH has fabulous food, offering steaks, fish,the most amazing mac&cheese along with gourmet burgers. Large bar menu. They offer daily specials, including half price burgers on Monday.

We were on a business trip to Elgin and as Trip Advisor is my travel bible, I found this restaurant to be near our meeting site. From the outside it looks like a little bar, don't be fooled, inside is a large, casual restaurant. We had burgers made to order and also tried the bean burger and they were all... More

The staff here is pleasant and very helpful. I decided to come here last min with some family. They staff is very knowledgable about their daily specials. I tried their BLT sandwich along with a very tasty strawberry cannoli for dessert. And the dessert is $1! How awesome is that? VERY AWESOME! This place is awesome for groups to chill... More

On any regular day, the menu food and daily specials are delicious. But Greg, the owner - chef, always outdoes himself at the monthly pairings. The pairings are 5-6 courses paired with either beer, wine or a spirit (depending on the month). The schedule is available on their website and you only need to pay a $ deposit per person... More

We love Elgin Public House! We've been there as just a couple and with large groups. Both times the service was friendly and attentive. The rooms are dark, but it goes along with being a bar. They have live music at times, so it might be a little loud. I recommend their chicken sandwich on a pretzel roll or their... More
