Old Republic [Kitchen + Bar]

We attended an after Christmas party in January. Live bands, NFL playoff games on 100s of tvs, crowded dining room, bar and party area. This place is hoppin! Service was very good and so was the food. If you want a quiet dinner on Saturday night, this ain't the place!

Food is delicious and staff is great. Gives you more of a homey vibe not just a restaurant setting. I'd definitely take advantage of there rib fest. Get it while the gettings good.

Absolutely awesome place. The outside has definitely a Seaside vibe and the indoors has some great choices for TVs. The food was awesome. The staff was awesome. The owner was awesome. Very welcoming place I've never been to and I'm glad I found it. I read the reviews especially over the one star ones and they didn't seem right of what was going on. I'm glad I didn't trust them and I chose to go this place. Any questions on the food I had the California chicken grilled. Season perfectly. Love the oversized shoestring fries. Can't wait to come back and bring my kids

Atmosphere was very good, engaged crowd. Food was delicious, took a very long time to be served. Waitress was extremely nice, restaurant was super busy.

I recently went on a Thursday night to see Kevin Willison of Anthem perform acoustic versions of Classic Rock songs. It was a beautiful night and their outdoor space is amazing. We arrived around 545pm and were seated immediately. By 700pm there was a line to get in OR offers Daily Specials as well as Happy Hour deals from 2-5pm. Thursday was half price pizza and 9.00 mini pitchers of beer..bonus! We each had our own 12 inch pizza. My wife had a gluten free mushroom which was only 9.25. I had a regular sausage for 10.00. The pizza sauce was amazing but the crust at the ends was way too crunchy . OR has many servers so I'm not sure why we had to ask 2-3 times for more napkins,take home containers or our check? I would definitely go back again to hear live music and have one of their Daily Specials.

Old Republic [Kitchen + Bar] definitely deserves 5 stars! The ribs were absolutely fantastic—tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was great as well; friendly, attentive, and fast. Highly recommend this place if you want delicious food and a great experience!

We had a party of approx 40 people there this weekend. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The management staff was great to work with and patient with questions and concerns. The package was soo affordable and the guests enjoyed the food. The staff was patient as well when, not realizing there was a game on the tvs at the same time so we decided to move the party to the outdoor area, they switched setup very quickly. I was skeptical about being on the patio even tho its covered for the winter as the ground is still concrete and I thought we would be cold but I was wrong. They have huge heaters which kept everyone comfortable. We had the patio area to ourselves with a bartender Jules or Julia?. She was great, very attentive, patient wirh my qs and friendly. I was able to take the leftovers from our buffet home which was nice and they were taken to the homeless shelter. The mother of the owner was attentive and checked on us a couple of times which was so nice. I could not have asked for a better experience than yesterday! Nothing went wrong! I highly highly recommend Old Republic for your next get together.

OMG...Geeze Lueeze. I just scanned into Nick's friends and learned a whole other world exists. I am a person who is not much interested in being cell phone technical. Keep it simple. QR codes never caught my attention or interested me.....until now. I first learned from a Co-worker about Old Republic Kitchen*Bar. He was trying to show me pictures on his cellphone. "This is a cool place. It has a patio constructed with shipping containers. They have live bands. The entertainment is great. The food is delicious. It is a good time. I should go and check it out. The owner wrote, directed, and produced the movie Munger Road. Had I heard of it? Did I see it? YAS! I saw the movie when it premiered in ST. Charles. I don't have my own car, so I paid little attention to what this Co-worker said about a restaurant located some distance from where I live. Then, I rented a car...and go I did! I called my friend Colleen. Colleen knows every, store, restaurant, bar, and gas station up and down Randall Road. She wasn't familiar with this place. She was skeptical that it existed and that I knew what I was talking about. I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant but I used to work up in that area off of Randall Road. It's not that complicated. We could find it. I have a car. Let's Goooooooo. Colleen was up for a joy ride, so away we went. The Restaurant is called Old Republic Kitchen*Bar. Old Republic shares a parking lot with Marcus Cinemas, Aldi, the U.S. Post Office... Old Republic is not on Randall Road, it is behind a medical office that is located on Randall Road. Technically, Old Republic is located at the corner of Randall Lake Crossing and Weld Road. This location used to be a corporate restaurant steak house. I can't remember the name. Sometimes I ate there. The food was good. Greeting us, as I parked the car, was a sign board of a 1970's Clint Eastwood holding out "a fist full of dollars". He was asking me, did I feel lucky? Well did I? Huh? Did I? My Colleen was raised North of here. I was raised South of here. We have worked in restaurants all over the area. We met 40 years ago working at a Bohemian restaurant. Remember Poplar Creek. Colleen worked there. Colleen graduated from culinary school and is a trained chef. Colleen has cooked, bartended, served, worked banquets, managed kitchens, managed bars, managed front of house, managed restaurants. Colleen opened her own Steak house. If it is food industry related, Colleen has probably been involved in it. Colleen is the type of bartender that people love, love, love. Quick, snappy, witty, attractive. Although Colleen has vava voom to her, it is her personality that grabs a person. Colleen has a light to her. A cheer. A brightness that people gravitate toward. A vibe that makes people feel good. When patrons notice her car parked in the parking lot, they stop in to sit a spell and absorb her company. When Colleen closed her steak house, she moved to Coco Beach and reinvented herself. For years she cooked for 500 to 700 at a convention center in Florida. Not only is Colleen fun, but her knowledge of the culinary is something special. She now is back from Florida and I am loving her reaction to Old Republic Kitchen*Bar. Her eyes fell everywhere and caught everything. From the decor, to the atmosphere, to the menu, to the food, to the building and it's lay out, to the 20 something bar lines running along the ceiling. She tried to get a better look at the kitchen, but one can only see so much from the door way. We stopped in on a thursday, late afternoon to early evening.there were patrons but not a crowd. The weather was gorgeous. A beautiful day. Perfect for outdoor seating. Colorful flags were fluttering in the breeze from where they hang overhead. Colleen loved the patio atmosphere. It was reminisce of the Florida vibe. So much to look at and see on a first time visit. Nostalgic pieces and edifices were placed throughout the restaurant. Double tiered seating on the patio.
