The Friday Food Critic: Tailgater's Sports Bar & Grill

When it comes to restaurants, Bolingbrook has it covered.

We have some great local places that many would consider community gems; we have some restaurants that aren't exactly mom-and-pop but are unique to the area; and we certainly—for better or for worse—have plenty of chains lining our main streets.

But what we don't have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not. 

That's where you come in.

We're not egotistical enough to tell you what restaurants you do and don't like. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark.

That's why we run , where each week, we put a different restaurant on the chopping block. You tell us how you feel about it, what dishes are good, who has the best drink specials and so forth.

This week we ask your opinion on one of the best places in town to grab a beer and watch the big game. It's also a great place to catch great live music each and every weekend.

has dozens of flat-screen TVs, which makes it an ideal place to watch any of your favorite Chicago sports teams. Sure, there are other sports bars in town, but none that have the distinct local flavor that Tailgater's offers.

And if entertainment is more your bag, is the place to be. Some of Chicagoland's most sought-after bands play there each weekend.

One of best kept secrets? Their pizza—try it, you won't be sorry.
