Full-Service Restaurant w/ Real Estate - Kane County, IL
Business Description
Located in the heart of Kane County, IL, this well-established, full-service restaurant has been a community staple for over 25 years. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, classic American menu, and full bar, the restaurant offers indoor seating for up to 160 guests across three distinct dining areas, along with a spacious outdoor patio that accommodates an additional 60 guests overlooking a scenic pond. The ±6,400 square foot free-standing building sits on a highly visible corner lot with traffic counts exceeding 55,000 cars per day and includes a large private parking lot with 109 spaces. The kitchen is fully equipped with substantial FF&E, including walk-in coolers and a freezer, and the business comes staffed with a seasoned team—many of whom have been with the company for decades.

Square Foot: 6,400
The business operates from a free-standing, approximately 6,400 square foot building situated on a highly visible corner lot in Kane County, IL. The property is well-positioned along two major roads with a combined traffic count exceeding 55,000 vehicles per day. It features a beautifully designed interior with three distinct dining areas and a full-service bar, offering seating for up to 160 guests indoors. The layout is ideal for both everyday dining and private events. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Located in a highly visible and easily accessible part of Kane County, this restaurant stands apart from nearby competitors due to a combination of history, layout, and convenience. While many dining establishments in the area are concentrated in busier downtown corridors with limited parking, this restaurant offers ample on-site parking with over 100 dedicated spaces, making it significantly more accessible for families, larger groups, and older clientele.
- Opportunities for Growth
- There are several immediate and long-term growth opportunities for a new owner to pursue. While the restaurant has built a loyal following, the concept has remained largely unchanged since the 1990s. A thoughtful refresh of the menu and interior design could help modernize the brand and attract a younger demographic without alienating the existing customer base. Cosmetic improvements—such as updated seating, lighting, and artwork—could instantly enhance the dining experience.
