The Happ Inn Bar & Grill

The blackened tuna sandwich was cooked perfectly and was tasty with heavy seasoning. Fish and chips was good with very flaky fish that could have been a bit crisper. Service was attentive and kind and food came out very quickly. It is popular and the dining room can be fairly noisy. Very worth a visit.

Nice restaurant, pretty good food. (Some) gluten free food marked on the menu. The server was very nice to confirm gluten free options. I believe there are some options (like the salads) that can be gluten free that are not marked. I got the chicken tinga tacos, which were decent (good in kinda a white person sense- my grand parents would love them and I think that is the clientele here).

The Happ Inn has quickly become one of our favorite spots in the North Shore! The Willow Road Salad is hands down my favorite entree salad anywhere: vibrant, flavorful, and perfectly dressed, with amazing cornbread croutons that take it over the top. It’s also wonderfully family friendly. The kids' meals are generous and even include ice cream, which our little ones absolutely love. It makes dining out with the family feel easy and fun. The service is consistently excellent. On our last visit, the general manager stopped by, not just to check a box, but to genuinely engage and make sure we were having a great experience. That personal touch goes a long way. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance—elevated yet approachable. It’s an ideal place to take visiting friends or family when you want something nicer than your average bar and grill, but still warm and relaxed. Also worth calling out: the fish and chips are fantastic. Crispy, fresh, and satisfying every time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, welcoming spot with great food and atmosphere!

Enjoyed a delicious lunch, I ordered crab cakes my husband had trio of filet with 3 sauces, both were super delicious 😋There are lots of new items on the menu.

I was lucky enough to be here for a company event! The service is amazing! We had a set menu and you have a choice of London Broil or salmon for your entree! I picked London Broil and it was very tender and delicious (a really large portion too). We had the chocolate cake for dessert, it was a bit dry but the frosting in between the cake was yummy! We had the function in the private room so the noise level was not too loud!

I wanted to share some feedback regarding a recent retirement party we hosted at Happ Inn. We had high hopes for this event, especially given the glowing recommendations we had received about your venue. While there were aspects of the evening that we truly appreciated, the planning process and overall experience left us disappointed. Our initial contact with your former private event manager was warm, responsive, and accommodating. We had a clear verbal agreement and were in the process of finalizing a contract when our emails suddenly went unanswered. After several attempts to reconnect, we learned that the manager was no longer with the restaurant and were directed to a new contact. Unfortunately, our experience with the new private event manager was markedly different. From our first interaction, we found her demeanor to be unfriendly and abrasive. It quickly became clear that our event date had not been reserved, and we were forced to restart the process under much less accommodating terms. The pricing we were quoted was significantly higher than what we had initially agreed upon—both the per-person cost and the event minimum. Our original plan, based on the initial verbal agreement, included heavy appetizers priced per dozen, non-alcoholic drinks, and a bartender to open drink tabs for guests. None of these elements were honored as expected. Despite our efforts to work collaboratively and respectfully to find a resolution, our interactions with both the event manager and GM remained frustrating. While they eventually agreed to meet our maximum budget, the final package was disappointing. For our group of 35, we were offered 8 dozen appetizers and one oversized platter serving 20 people—barely enough food for the number of guests, and at a rate that worked out to approximately $58 per dozen. Additionally, the event included an open bar with very limited beer and wine selections, which we did not want, and were not given the option to remove. On the day of the party, the event manager greeted us in a similarly cold manner. Thankfully, the rest of the staff was professional and welcoming, and we appreciated their efforts throughout the evening. The space was beautifully set up and the food, while limited, was delicious. That said, many guests left the party hungry—something that should never happen at a catered event. We truly believe that the person planning private events for your restaurant should reflect the warm and welcoming atmosphere you hope to offer your guests. Unfortunately, the current event manager does not possess these qualities, and her demeanor and handling of our event have left a lasting negative impression. While we understand that businesses face economic challenges, treating potential customers with respect and consideration should remain a priority. Given our experience, I will not be returning to Happ Inn nor recommending it to others—despite the great things I had heard prior.

Awsome The green salsa was perfect Pizza hit the spot Carrot cake was the icing on top No pun intended

Great customer service from host to the wait staff we were greeted very politely at the entrance by two younger ladies. Seated very quickly on a mildly busy night. Our waiter had some great drink recommendations which we went with and enjoyed. All of the food came out hot and accurate to our liking. As the night progressed we usually don’t stick around restaurants for desert but since the night was going so well we decided we had to try the bread pudding. We did not regret our decision. Overall great meal 10/10 would come again. Special thank you to Mia who helped make the visit extra memorable.

Good food. Nice service. Great casual dining and family friendly. Unfortunately they have a 3.5% surcharge. Another restaurant pulling bait and switch pricing. It's a good restaurant so just be honest with your prices to start.

My visit to Chicago continues with a birthday dinner at The Happ Inn. My family had been before, and recommended the Willow Salad. I was a little surprised, as the menu is extensive with many different dishes. As we were being seated, I noticed a large number of patrons with large salads and wondered if it was The Willow Road. It was, and I ordered it. We also ordered Not Your Grandma's Meatloaf and pizza and chicken fingers for the kids. We started with the Guacamole-it was fresh, with a nice balance of flavors and great texture! I had to stop myself as we got 2 orders for just 3 of us, and I wanted to wait for the main dish. The Salad came - it was epic. It's a beautiful looking dish - above a mix of spring greens, romaine and iceberg lettuce, was an incredible array of toppings! There were large slices of avocado, charred corn which had a unique grilled flavor, goat cheese, heirloom tomatoes and several other garnishes like dried dates and cornbread croutons! It came with a delicious Champagne Vinaigrette, which perfectly complimented this very special dish. We also got Not Your Mamas Meatloaf! The meatloaf actually could have been like your mama's - it was tender and moist, with a rich meaty taste, and a savory gravy loaded with mushrooms that smothers it! Now for the Kids Menu items - the chicken fingers were tender, crispy and tasty....but skip the cheese pizza. It was chewy, the cheese was too thick and also chewy, and very little sauce. It was a very worthwhile visit for me, as I rarely order salads as a main course for dinner. Especially when I see chicken pot pie on the menu! The next time, I may make an exception! I almost forgot the deserts! It was a birthday dinner and we ordered the Chocolate Decadence Cake which was incredible-a triple layered cake with, Dutch cocoa, 60% dark chocolate and a silky chocolate buttercream frosting. I was in chocolate heaven (I have OCD - obsessive chocolate disorder)! The Inn surprised us with the Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie - topped with a great vanilla bean ice cream and a rich whipped cream on top. When you combine those 3 ingredients, you can't go wrong. I would also like to mention the gracious and very friendly staff at the Happ Inn, it made the birthday dinner a delightful one!

I have been a weekly regular for about five years now (started with the tent in the parking lot during Covid!), and have always tipped generously at a minimum of 30%. Historically have loved the food, the ambiance and the staff. The staff were all so hard working. They always had smiles on their faces and worked well together. As of recent (approximately the end of year/holidays) that has changed. There was a sudden overturn of waitstaff and managers. So glad that some of the original waitstaff are still there. They are the only reason I keep coming back (shout out to Jose and Alejandro, but seriously missing Antonio and Nick). The new management has made some subtle changes that are now (in my opinion) making me reconsider how often I frequent this establishment. I always sit in the bar. Love the casual atmosphere and fun music. Now the music is irritating jazz with occasional opera. When I inquired as to if it could be changed back to what it was, I was told that new management is trying to make the restaurant more of a fine dining experience. The menu does not say "fine dining", which is fine with me, because I loved it the way it WAS. Please save the money for the little table candles in the bar area, and put that money toward turning the heat up a degree or two (I know it's winter, but it is definitely cooler in the bar area than it has been previously. And I come layered with a sweater.). And PLEASE, PLEASE, change the music back to the casual/soft rock that it previously was. That doesn't cost a thing. Does it really matter if the drink menu is standing up by the salt and pepper shakers, as opposed to laying down at the edge of the table now? Or to put a water glass at every seat just to make the waitstaff have to come and take away the ones where no one is sitting? Isn't that a waste of their time? Just let them bring the water and water glasses after we are seated. As I mentioned early in my review, the ONLY reason I keep coming back is because of the regular staff that I love. (Not saying that the new staff are bad at all, I just don't know them yet.). If the regular staff leave, I'm leaving too. Please don't add unnecessary change and work to these very hard working employees. Things were just fine the way they were. Perhaps adjust what the new managers are trying to push. Thanks for listening. I hope to see a change... back to the way it was.

My office ordered lunch from here. I had the beet and quinoa salad. It was very big and flavorful. The cornbread was also very good.

We arrived for a group dinner and was sat immediately. Being the first to arrive we asked for separate checks. The waiter immediately launched into a story about how they don't do separate checks because "people move around and change seats" and its hard for them to serve the food properly. Apparently this is a defcon level 4 event at The Hap Inn and they could only break up the table in groups of three or four on a separate check. That was fine with us. Weird. But fine. We ordered drinks and the server was quick to refill our cups as soon as they were empty. The rest of our party arrived and asked about separate checks and got the same bizarre story. Eventually, the server came over and told us that there would be separate checks as it was arranged ahead of time. And truth be told. At the end of the meal, all the separate checks were kind of messed up and had the server running here and there trying to fix them. I ordered the bison burger with lettuce, mustard, pickles (an additional $0.50) and crispy onions (also $0.50 extra) and horseradish sauce. I ordered the fries as my side and got ranch for dipping. I also ordered a cup of their chicken tortilla soup. The soup came first. It was okay. No spice to it. at all. It was borderline a creamy tomato soup with diced chicken bits and chopped up tortilla strips. Iy was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. The bison burger arrived and it was cooked to perfection. The horseradish sauce was not added to the sandwich and did not cost extra, so I didn't care. The pickles and the crispy onions were served on the side of the burger, so it was a little DIY which I also thought weird. The fries were nicely seasoned and crispy outside and soft inside and the ranch had really good flavor. I used this on my sandwich a little. The burger was so juicy, the bottom bun eventually fell apart and I finished with fork and knife. It was a great burger, but they up-charge for silly add-ons put a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). They added gratuity to all our checks which was nice. There is a 3% surcharge that you can have removed from your check upon request. You can pay by cash, card, or QR code off the Toast app. That makes it much easier. Overall, the meal was good, the space was nice, and the server was very good except for the story about people moving around. Worth going back and trying other dishes.

Ate here last night for a friend's birthday. Made a reservation and included it was for a birthday, but the waiter never mentioned it. Waiter Miguel O. had an attitude from the very beginning. He took our order, got our drinks and food, he never came back to ask how everything was or if we needed anything,never got any water refills and never asked us if we wanted another drink. We had to ask for the bill- Regarding the SURCHARGE- tell them you want it removed and they have to remove it. We did. We had eaten here many times in the past and it was great- which is why we suggested it for our friend's birthday. Instead we kept apologizing the entire way home. Very disappointing......

Great lunch! The server was attentive and the food was delivered quickly! We will be back!

I was lucky enough to be here for a company event! The service is amazing! We had a set menu and you have a choice of London Broil or salmon for your entree! I picked London Broil and it was very tender and delicious (a really large portion too). We had the chocolate cake for dessert, it was a bit dry but the frosting in between the cake was yummy! We had the function in the private room so the noise level was not too loud!

This has never happened to any of us. We have been there twice. Both times we tried to eat there, they were not busy. Mostly empty tables with a few sitting at the bar. After sitting for 1/2 hour... I ordered by walking up to the bar and requesting service. After food was brought to the table, We were ignored. No refills on soda. No asking if everything was good... Didn't just happen once, but twice. Two girls at the hostess area, but zero wait staff. Thumbs down.

The food here is just ok. It's not horrendous, but it's not great. I feel like you could make similar or better food at home. The crispy ribs, build your own burger, and the sweet potato fries were enjoyable. However, my turkey sandwich was incredibly salty and dry. In my opinion, the price point is over the top for the experience you get. Additionally, service was a bit below par for me. I think some of the servers need additional training. Several times throughout my meal, a waitress would interrupt conversation to ask if a plate needed to be removed. If the plate sitting there doesn't seem to bother the customer, just wait till we're done talking OR remove it quietly.... also, when we ordered coffee and the waiter didn't bring it out, instead of apologizing, he blamed us. He actually went back and forth with us instead of just bringing out a coffee... I came here at a friend's invite, but I don't think I would come again on my own.

As always, great food and great staff. That is consistent. My husband and I are longtime regular customers who always enjoyed the casual vibe and Mexican (plus other) dishes with an upscale flair. There seems to be an effort to make the place look more like a supper club--white tablecloths and all. I don't think this is necessary. This neighborhood place had had a Mexican vibe, wooden table tops and a casual atmosphere--be HAPPy. No need for the dressy touches. These are the suburbs. Let's just chill. Also, bigger font is needed on the menus.

I ordered the chicken wings and they came out perfectly. Fairly priced and food comes out rather quickly compared to most restaurants. So, service is definitely a big boost. I love the energetic setting of the place. Highly recommend.

What a perfect afternoon to grab some lunch and watch a little golf and the Cubbies , even though they lost. I was up north and decided to grab a seat at the bar at Happ Inn in Northfield. Great friendly atmosphere. Clean bar, clean everything in a great suburb. I ordered the wings, look at that picture; now those are what wings should be. Plump, tossed in an amazing bbq sauce served with bleu cheese or ranch dressing and a little garden to go along. Plenty to fill up on and they were delicious. Next I set my sights on the brisket grilled cheese. Now first let me say that the wings came out first and then the sandwich about 5 minutes after I finished the wings. Happ Inn knows how it's done. Bravo gentlemen (and women) Brisket was flavorful, slightly dry for me but complimented the grilled cheese perfectly. Their slaw, my choice for a side, was really yummy. Not to sweet and more than ample. If you're looking for a great place to watch a game, NCAAW tournament perchance, then get out of the city and get real food at a great price. All this and a pint draft for $45.00.

The Happ Inn is a staple in our family, and it's delicious! I love the comforting yet fun vibe here, it's super large so you can enjoy yourself at the bar with bit TVs, or have a large group dinner with family and friends in the dining area. Definitely feels like a Chicago/North Shore staple spot. The night we visited the place wasn't too busy, so service was nice and quick. All of the employees we encountered were helpful and kind. For dinner, I ordered the Willow Road salad with Grilled Chicken and it was fantastic. It's the perfect blend of flavors, I love the sweetness from the dates and croutons plus the creamy avocado and goat cheese. My grilled chicken was also moist and flavorful. Highly recommend this spot in Northfield!

We went here for our last meal in Glenview before we flew home. Incidentally I grew up in this town which was awesome to see how much things have changed over the years. Joes Mom moved into this incredible place that is definitely "country club" living, I'll get to that review next. This place is over in Northbrook very close to where we were staying, it was incredible. The decor, the food, the staff was all top notch! Joe ordered the clam chowder and it was delicious. I always love the club so I got the BLT. It was excellent, the bacon was cooked perfectly and the French fries were cooked all the way through! Love that! A undercooked fry is just not worth it to me, I'll pass or send it back. Joe ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and he just loved it. Joes Mom got the hamburger with Swiss and sweet potato fries, I'm pleased to say both types of French fries were excellent! We arrived there at 11 when they opened and it was very crowded. Myra our server was just excellent and very attentive. The bus boy was always near to clear away the dishes, get rid of the evidence I always say :) I will definitely return to this amazing place! Loved it!

This place could be so good and it just is always mediocre. The best aspects are the large pleasant dining spaces, the varied menu and location. The worst aspects is it is pricey, service can be spotty and the food is ordinary at best. Last night I had enchiladas, they were ok but the rice was so dry and was like old and had been sitting around. It looked forlorn in the plate and was just so tired tasting. I also had tortilla soup which is really over-seasoned and extra tomato-saucy. It gave me terrible heartburn. I can't recommend it. Our group also ordered a flatbread which was a 6 piece teensy pizza that was oily and definitely not worth it. We also had wings and they were ok. Lackluster is the defining characteristic of all these dishes. Happ Inn is lucky they don't have much competition so the place fills up each night but truly it could be way better than it is.

Located in a small strip mall The Happ Inn is good place for a quick bite. Although it wasn't very crowded when we dined there it was loud. The food arrived quick and my quoina and beet salad was tasty .

Food is okay. Spaghetti is a bit sweet and the meal has a sweet and tangy taste/ Wings are good and service is great

The host was uncooperative and would not give us a booth, claiming it was for those who had "reservations." It was just too loud in the main restaurant, so we asked to sit in the bar, which was noticeably colder than the rest of the restaurant. Our server did not check on us after we were served or refill our drinks. The Southwest Salad and chicken tortilla soup were mediocre in taste and presentation. To top it off, we got whacked with an additional 3% charge. The restaurant may be a convenient place to eat, but that's about all it has going for it.

Stopped In for a quick dinner with my family and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. I was really hungry and looking forward to enjoying my meal. When the sandwich showed up I was shocked at how SMALL it was. Size of a slider. $16.00 BYW. I thought perhaps their was a mistake and I got something off the appetizer menu. I mentioned my shock to the nice waitress who brought over the young manager who smirked and thanked me for bringing it to his attention and he said he would speak to the kitchen. LOL SMALLEST GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH EVER. and a 3% service charge to top it off. REALLY feel taken advantage of.

What a meal! I went for dinner tonight after hearing Happ Inn just got new menus. Surprise...the actual menus were not not many new menu items so I ordered my usual, enchiladas and a dirty martini. Unfortunately, enchiladas were cold and my martini was warm and not filthy at all. After I brought this to my were cold

We had a great night at Happ Inn! They were really busy on this Saturday night, but the owner was there creating patrons and making sure everyone was taken care of. They had a fun drink menu and they even brought my mom a sample of the wine she wanted before she ordered a glass! Our waiter was quick and handled all of our customizations graciously - he had a device to put the order in so all of our customizations were correct! It was a little loud when we walked in, but we requested a booth on our reservation which they were happy to accommodate. It was much quieter in a booth, so if you think it will be busy, definitely request a booth! I had a burger and I customized it with sautéed onions and pickles - it was fantastic!! The brioche bun is incredible and the fries were so good too!!

Went here for dinner this week. The location is great. Super clean. And very nice but we had horrible service. The waiter took our order only came back. I asked for my check and he went and was talking with another table and after a long time he finally came and brought it to me. I asked him for a copy of my receipt he made it seem like it was a hassle for him because he made me pay digitally.

Corn Chowder soup was great. Nice place, 80's tunes, friendly service. Will return for another meal.

Food was good service was good place was empty, unimpressive ambiance. Left grateful to go

Service was good and speedy (I saw reviews that service was very slow, that wasn't the case for us) Food was good (we had the salmon and the pasta) Skip the dessert

Great drinks, great food, great service, nice patio and very dog friendly. We ordered the "Man-happin" which were very delicious and we had some wings. Everything from begging to end was great.

Had grilled squid lacking flavor, ordered the duck was awful very dry. Fish tacos were excellent . Truffle fries had great flavor . Cute atmosphere.

Food is always good, as is the atmosphere! I've only been here for work functions. Service for larger groups can be inconsistent.

Could this place BE any worse?? It started with the entrance being blocked by a huge bus apparently there to drop off a big dinner crowd.So, parking lot which was jammed was even worse. Place was packed and super noisy. Waited a long time for server. Took our drink order. After a while I reminded him I never got mine. He said, he would get it " the next time he went to the bar"! Ordered grilled calamari. Very spicy and mostly arugula not much calamari. Had the dinner Cobb salad which was slightly larger than the side salad. One in our party had a soft drink and asked for limes but got lemons! One person ordered quesadillas which were way over cooked and dried out and hard to chew. We ordered carrot cake for dessert. The server brought it and put it on the table for the four of us to share. As we picked up our forks, he swooped in and literally took the cake away from us with no explanation and put it onthe table of four next to us! When I was finally able to get ahold of him, he said he had inadvertently given us banana pudding by mistake which the other table had ordered. Had to repeatedly ask for more drinks. We got no bread with our food. Then after a long while he finally came over and asked if there would be anything else. I asked him for coffee which he brought but, again, no refills (@ $4.50 a cup). Finally we got the check and I saw a 3.5% surcharge. I asked why and he said to ask the owner. Then he hovered over me the whole time I was using that little device to pay the bill. The service was awful but I left a 15% tip. As soon as he saw that, he literally complained to me why so small? He said did you not get good service? I told him no and he said he was sorry but the place was very busy tonight!!! WOW. Will NOT be returning.

Great food, good portion size. Reasonable prices. Nice, cozy ambiance. Good service. Would go again!

Pretty solid spot for the area. Also considering Northfield has almost no places to eat. Martinis are good. Wine list is solid. Menu has something for everyone. I just wish they had like a New York strip, ribeye, or filet mignon or some shit. I'm not crazy about skirt steak. But it's fine. 7/10

Terrible. I will NEVER go back. My family went here for brunch on Mother's Day. The waiter was AWFUL--- forgot our apps, forgot what most of us ordered (table of 6 when we were 1 of 2 tables he had bc they had just opened) brought half of us the wrong order and/or didn't listen to any special requests (including allergy restrictions). The food was terrible. After the second time trying to get My food right, I gave up and just drank my pear martini. Which are excellent. That is the only reason I can even give this one star. If not for the pear martinis, don't bother going. It's just a waste of money. For real. Gross to think about.

My pick up order was not registered properly, and instead of 2 orders only one waited for me. The manager was quite rude, trying to argue with me that I only ordered one portion, and said "if you want to wait I will cook another one for you". No apology at all. After 13 years of being a customer he thought I am an UBER driver! Good Bye Happless

The three stars would be me being nice. Also because the food that my kids and I have tried here were okay, not horrible. The service was pleasant but I cannot say that it was efficient. We came here for a Wednesday dinner reservation through Open Table. I highly suggest making one because the place was super busy and packed, both inside and on their outdoor dining area. We were seated on a booth right away but it took almost 10 minutes for someone to come to our table. The server was in charge of the whole area where we were seated, so it was very obvious that there were also other customers waiting patiently for service. Once we put our orders in, the wait time for the food was reasonable. The only dish that stood out was the FRIED CALAMARI ($14.95). The marinara sauce that came with the calamari had great heat and made the appetizer delicious. My QUINOA & BEET SALAD ($18.95) was okay and it was a big serving size so I took home half of it. The FRENCH DIP ($17.95) was very average, same goes with the MEDITERRANEAN PASTA W/ CHICKEN ADDED ($24.00). Like what the other yelpers have written, the quality and portion sizes did not justify the high prices of their dishes. On top of the unsatisfying dishes, the service was very disappointing as well. We made a unanimous vote not to come back.

The food was great! My boyfriend and I got the special chocolate lava cake as the desert and we both have never had a lava cake that beats this one. It tasted so rich and the ice cream was super good as well. It is a really cute restaurant really like environment as well. Very clean and the staff was super nice. Definitely would come here again if I am around the area.

The reason I give Happ Inn 4 stars is because of their service. I wanted to wait until my 3rd visit to write this review. I have been there 3 times within 6 months. The food is 5 stars! This is what my different group of friends and that have ordered and are consistently excellent! Chicken enchiladas Skirt Steak Guacamole And I have had their Fried Chicken, tacos and salads which have all been delicious too! Drinks always come promptly and cold. The atmosphere is very nice. I love that it's not super fancy. Also it's easy to get too. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall so there's a large parking lot too. My only problem is the service. Every time I have been there the male host in front seems always annoyed. (Poor first impression) Also, every waiter or waitress I have gotten is new or just poor skills. I don't understand why we have to ask for everything little thing all the time... No matter if it's with a group of women or couples or just my husband and I. I'm not an unreasonable customer. Maybe I just sit at the bar- everyone is always smiling in there. However, this inferior service should stop anyone from going to this gem! Hopefully they can finally work their kinks out sooner than later.

To start off, if you're looking for a place to eat on a budget, this probably isn't it. On average most of the entrees are $15 and plus. For some people that might not be much for a college kid or someone in high-school that might be another story. Anyways went in on a weekday with one of my buddies and it was fairly busy. Everyone dressed up pretty casual, some families, some work groups, some people on dates, the usual you'd see at a sit down restaurant. Service was great, from the person that greets you and brings you to the table, to the waiters at your table, they all were fantastic. The waiters gave some great recommendations on what to get and I was impressed with some, with others ehh it was ok. I don't remember exactly what drinks my buddy and I got (maybe mojitos?) but what I remember most is that the drinks tasted great and they definitely don't skimp on the liquor here. The drinks are worth what they charge. Now when it comes to food. The calamari was top notch, was some of the best I've had in a very long time and something I'd definitely get again. The shrimp dish my buddy got you can tell was fresh, grilled perfectly and tasted great as well. My french dip though I honestly thought something was missing. I think maybe if some cheese was added onto it it'd add some flavor to it. I just didn't seem to taste much flavor in the meat. Definitely relied a lot on that Au Jus if i didn't have that don't think I'd be able to finish that sandwich. Overall though, great experience, great drinks, great seafood from what I've experienced and overall just great chill vibes. I'll definitely be back!!!!

Emerging from the pandemic lockdown, this Northfield watering hole has added full-service outdoor dining to their carryout service. A large tent in the parking lot accommodates several socially-distanced tables, and 2-tops on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant and adjoining stores accommodate the overflow. The Missus and I were seated at one of the latter tables. Dining under the tent is by reservation only, but it was a gorgeous day and we reveled under the bright blue sky watching an endless string of luxury SUVs parade through the carryout line. Happ Inn's summer dinner menu is ambitious, featuring most of the items from their pre-lockdown menu. I ordered a Caesar salad and fish & chips. My Missus ordered a garden salad and Carlos' [named for owner Carlos Nieto] Skirt Steak Frites. Note: Appetizer-size salads do not appear on the menu but you can request a "half-size" salad or share a full-size one. Evidently the staff was still learning the new modus operandi, and it was also a busy night. Our salads and entrees arrived together because our server "didn't know" we wanted the salads first. The potatoes arrived lukewarm. The steak, served in a carryout-type container with high walls and a ridged bottom, was very awkward to cut. But in spite of these and other hiccups, the food was delicious, the portions were generous, and we loved the outdoor ambience.

My two gfriends and I had dinner here last week..it was a Wednesday nite and we really didn't need reservations...but had them just in case I was EXTREMELY disappointed in our food..we ordered a chopped salad....I ordered the tossed Cobb salad for $18.95...it stared on the menu romaine/iceberg mix...there was NO romaine...the plate was filled with cheap iceberg lettuce..there were a few bits of Swiss cheese and very little of the egg..cheese..tomatoes..most of the time I'd return it immediately..my gfriends and I were very involved in our conversation and overlooked it...I just felt TOTALLY ripped off

Wow a shower for 50 women 2 servers that were so rude! Food horrible family style literally one sandwich per person sides one per person. Everything about the place not good. Manager or he said he was was so rude. . Hostess didn't didn't help with anything didn't show people where to go and didn't even help a women in a walker with her gift. I would not recommend for anything if I could give it 0 stars I would. We will NEVER come back. Shame on you

Went to the Happ Inn last night to celebrate my granddaughters graduation from high school. Was welcomed and seated on time which is unusual for a restaurant. We were greeted by a lovely girl named Jane, who said that she would be our waitress. We ordered our food, which we all had different things, and all was exceptional! Service was great. Jane came by often to see if we needed anything and if we did, it was promptly found and put on our table. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're ever in the area stop and give them your business, they're worth it!

We ate there Monday night at 5:30pm. We had a reservation I ordered a salad with salmon added. I asked for the salmon to be cooked well done-not raw inside. When my salad was served, there was no salmon The salmon was brought to table 10 minutes later. The inside was raw. I sent it back and finished my salad The same piece was brought to me having been microwaved after i had finished my salad. I told the server i would not be eating the salmon . I was charged for the salmon Salad was tasty Guacamole was tasty Turkey burger was tasty My brother was paying bill. He paid for the uneaten salmon This was very disappointing

A local favorite, and appropriately so. Diverse if not staggering menu, decent selection of drinks and wines, and attentive service in a local upscale tavern/bistro sort of setting. Wife had the enchiladas, I had the fish and chips; we've had virtually everything on the menu at one point or another and never been disappointed. Great bar, too -- nice place to meet and chat or to watch sports and have a snack. Nothing fancy...but predictably terrific.

Came here for a casual dinner with some friends. The atmosphere is nice they have a plethora of drink options and Monday night football was on. I got the French dip sandwich. I thought it was really mediocre. The meat was very bland didn't taste any seasonings or salt and the jous was excessively salty. The roll didn't taste fresh either, they could've at least toasted it. If I came back I definitely wouldn't order that again. My friend ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, it looked much better I'd recommend getting that instead. On the bright side the fires that came with were good.

I love their Willow Salad which I order anytime I am remotely near The Happ Inn. The service is a bit spotty at times, and other ordered items are not always correct (onions when no onions on a burger were ordered, no Mayo when ordered) but overall a really good choice for meals. Always friendly front desk and comfortable seating.

Had a very rude bartender. Food was mediocre. Atmosphere is boring. With so many great options on the north shore, I wouldn't visit again.

Unsafe for Celiac. We had heard good things about their Gluten Free offerings, and that probably caused us to lower our guard more than we should have. We came for Mother's Day brunch, mentioned our 5 year-old's allergy specifically... We were assured the tortilla chips and fries were GF, and we ordered the GF cheese pizza off the kid's menu. 3 hours later (typical gluten allergic reaction time) she's complaining of stomach pain, and then we're off on the side of the road watching her throw it all up. Reached out to the manager after the fact to try and determine what happened, never received a call back. I'm not sure what all they've done to earn a good GF reputation, but we certainly won't be back. If you've got a true gluten allergy and find yourself here, I would stick with the water.

It's still a great casual restaurant and I frequented this summer because I liked the tent they provided and their summer menu was light and many sandwiches served for my husband but I especially liked the tuna tartare that I had as a meal even though it was their appetizer. I really didn't like the seared Tuna because they overcooked the tuna medium well which I thought weird. But I don't know where the regular waitresses went but each time I came it was one of the Hispanic waiters and they aren't very good. They never check on the table to see if you need anything, they never look your way. I have to ask for refills on my non-alcoholic drinks from someone else and they're very unfriendly so I know this was a Covid summer so I did tip appropriately but didn't want to. I hope the management actually reads this and take back the other waitress staff.
