Acorn Grill + Terrace

Went here for the first time recently. They have interior seating and nice patio seating that overlooks the golf course. Their prices are fair, on the medium to high range but not significantly over priced.we ordered the southwest salad, which was delicious. We also ordered the buffalo chicken wrap With their homemade chips. The wrap had a nice spice to it and it tasted good. The chips were stale and lacked flavor. Was definitely disappointed in the chips. Then we got the grilled veggie sandwich which was not good at all. Completely flavorless. It came with french fries which were pretty good. They told us the french fries come in the bag but hey, they still tasted yummy and were crispy. Service was average, a little slow for how few people there were. Would go back.

We were looking for Friday dinner options near us which brought the Acorn Grill and Terrace's Friday Fish Fry to our attention. The Acorn Grill and Terrace is located at the Northbrook Park District's golf course off of Dundee Rd. The building is brand new. The dining room is small but modern and comfortable. In the warmer months they have a patio to increase capacity. The service was friendly although it seemed like there was one Guy covering the entire restaurant. The food wasn't bad but it also wasn't good enough for us to say we'll be back for the fish fry. The meal came with 3 cod filets, fries, two hush puppies, cole slaw and tartar sauce. All for $18.I think we'll be back to try a different menu item.

Slow service but the food is good and sitting outside overlooking the course on a nice evening with a drink keeps bringing me back.

OK, the good the bad and the ugly! The good, I met a friend for happy hour drinks and they don't really have a happy hour but the cocktails were only $10 which I think is a good value. The bad, lots of people sitting outside, and some of them were smoking or vaping, which to me is disgusting. The ugly, if you're a woman and halfway attractive, there are tons of older men there that may make you feel uncomfortable. I would definitely go back because I could just ignore the men but smoking where there's food is gross and unacceptable.

I hosted a private party here and I'll gladly host future events here again! Chelsea the Event Coordinator was great to work with! She was so accommodating and available 24/7 to answer questions. The staff was super friendly and on top of everything. The catering was delicious and the food was cooked onsite. Last but not least the venue is gorgeous! My guests were so impressed! The private event space is beautifully decorated and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the 18 hole golf course is stunning!! I highly recommended Acorn Grill for your next party or private event!

Great views of the course, nice new building and good service. The food and it's presentation need help however. This place has potential if they made a few changes:1. Prices are way too high for the amount and quality of food served. It's a golf course, not a sit down restaurant.2. They serve the water in plastic cups with straws. Seriously? They don't have a dishwasher and glassware they can use? Not only is it wasteful with single use plastic but it just brings down the ambiance of the place. 3. The flavors of three of the four dishes we have had were lackluster and boring. This isn't a retirement home, it's a golf course and if you're going to have interesting sounding things on the menu they need to taste much better.4. The presentation was slipshod and messy. For $14+ for sandwiches and appetizers the plates need to be neater and appetizing looking.We ordered:* Nachos - they were supposed to have a homemade cheese sauce and be "loaded" with toppings. Not really. The cheese sauce set like glue within minutes, there was not enough toppings by any stretch of the imagination and the chips were not fresh tasting - a tad stale. Very sad and not any where near worth $14. They then charge more to add chicken or beef...* Chicken Lettuce Wraps - although the chicken pieces were freshly grilled overall the dish lacked flavor and it was clunky and looked sad on the plate. Normally lettuce wraps are served with the filling in a bowl and then lettuce pieces and sauce sides separately so that the diner can make their own wrap...not here. Pre-filled romaine lettuce leaves (3 ) on smeared and messy plate with no sauce... underwhelming until salt, pepper and Tabasco(R) were added. The chicken pieces were too large as well and pre-filling the lettuce pieces made them too soft by the time we got the flavor rescuing s/p and hot sauce from the server. * Buffalo Chicken Wrap with fries. The fries were very, very good - fresh, hot and almost perfectly seasoned. The wrap was underwhelming - too dry, not enough buffalo sauce, not enough ranch, chicken was okay. Why do they need to serve the ketchup for the fries in a plastic lidded cup? Can't they either offer bottles (less waste) or little metal cups if they fear contamination of the ketchup bottles....* Hot dog with "homemade" chips. Everything about the dog itself was fine but the chips were stale, cold, needed flavor (especially salt) and there were too many tiny pieces of chips. We were here late last summer at the opening and enjoyed the buffalo wings. $12 for 8 pieces is okay if they are large enough and they just were.Draught beer prices are too high for a place that is there to get a little more revenue out of patrons that already paid a pretty penny for a golf course that is also in need of some improvements - but that's another review.Service was professional and friendly.

Our club meets at Acorn Grill + Terrace for dinner meetings regularly. Assistant Manager Chelsea has for the past 2 years done a great job with coordinating the room set-up, managing pre-order of meals and is always friendly, welcoming and supportive of special requests every time. The Brook Room is a beautiful and functional venue and the food is consistently tasty with special dietary requests being honored and done well.

We have continuously enjoyed our time at Acorn Grill. We work with Chelsea to plan a monthly dinner meeting - she is always so attentive! Chelsea exceeds our expectations every time - we pre-order our dinners with her, sometimes we have special table set-up arrangements and thats always taken care of without issue. The food is great too.

Food was great, very good service, nice outdoor patio, definitely will come back soon!

Erik was the best, yummy food and great portions, peace and quiet and a very relaxing evening lunch! Our waiter Erik was awesome, on top of every request from ranch, to refills, to asking to take away any empty plates and kept amazing conversation felt welcomed and can't wait to come back! if you haven't tried this place I recommend it definitely a northbrook hidden gem!
