The restaurant that I am referring to is Village Tavern and Grill in Schaumburg.

I visited Village Tavern on a Friday night. The time was around 5:30 in the evening. The parking lot was so busy

I thought to myself, I can only imagine what it looks like inside.

The restaurant was completely packed. It looked like Elvis had come back from the dead for his final performance. I looked at my wife and said there was no way we were going to be able to get a table, but much to my surprise, I asked the host if she, in fact, had a table and she said right this way.

I would say that most of the people look to be regulars. I was over their menu which seems to have a lot of homestyle favorites, such as burgers, chicken, and other sandwiches.

I also noticed that they put the scene best in the world on a lot of their items. The one item, though that I have heard so much talk about what is their unique chicken tenders That money does you claim to be the best I’ve ever had.

I started my meal with their best-in-the-world chili. They also offered the chicken tenders as an appetizer option. I assumed it was not as big as a full order, so I decided to go with the appetizer portion. I also want to add that everyone talks about their honey mustard, and dipping sauce, and how good it is so, of course, I chose that as the sauce for my chicken tenders.

The chili came to the table. I am not one who normally likes beans in my chili. I am more of a Texas chili fan. I took a spoonful of the chili and it was extremely flavorful. I still could not get over the beans, so I had my wife finish it.

The chicken tenders came next and they were massive. The most unique thing about the chicken tender was the batter. The batter was very close to a tempura batter or a batter that she would find on a fish and chips. The batter was something someone didn't like, but still crispy. I dipped my chicken tender into the honey mustard sauce and took my first bite. I will say it is a really good chicken tender. The honey mustard was actually delicious and made the bites complete. It was like no other chicken tender I’ve ever had. The chicken itself is very juicy and cooked thoroughly, they were very addictive and I could not stop eating them after my first tender. I will say definitely stop by and try these chicken tenders. They are worth the hype. I had for my main dish a Patty melt and my wife had their Rueben. They just told me they make one of the best she’s ever had.

The patty melt was delicious, but I had to save most of it to bring home my wife loved her Rueben. I was so full from the chicken tenders. I will also say with how busy this restaurant was and I mean it was ridiculously busy service was never lacking. Everyone seemed extremely friendly. It will definitely be on my list of places to go eat with my wife from now on.

I would suggest possibly going on a weekday in the middle of the day if possible just to escape some of the crowds, like I stated before this place is extremely popular.

I also will say you must try the chicken tenders. They are unique and delicious.

I give a rating of 8.5
