   Drove all the way out there for my “reservation” only for it to be closed. I understand things are different during this time, but they should keep on top of reservations/reservation websites like this one.

   I would consider this restaurant a gem in Elmhurst downtown. This was a nice date night for my husband and I since we are big fans of the self-pour option. If you are a beer lover, plenty of options to choose from. You can easily make this into your own "beer-tasting" experience and try out several interesting flavors. I wish they had more cocktail options (which are somewhat on the pricier side), however, the margarita was delicious! The ambience was super chill, not too loud, which I prefer. The food was good-- loved the shrimp tacos and especially the cookie dough eggrolls (ORDER THEM!) I would definitely be back at again.

   You get a card when you walk in and the hostess rattled off some directions. You have to order yourself on an iPad at the table. There were many beer choices as expected, but only 4 mixed drink choices. I started to pour myself some blue vodka drink from the tap and was shocked when I looked down for a moment to fill my glass and looked back up. The price was already at $15! I had to stop short of filling my glass. We ordered the pulled pork, brisket with Mac n cheese meal. The meat was rather dry and tough. The Mac n cheese was ok, but spicy because it had jalapeño in it. The cole slaw was inedible, the worst we’ve ever tried. I would not recommend this place at all. The neighborhood has many other restaurants nearby and I’m really sorry that we didn’t choose another one. Any other one.

   Took a long time for drinks, but they made up for with with complimentary drinks. The tablet is hard to read from and takes up space on the tables.

   Had the brisket tacos - they were great. Had a table outside, so it was nice and quiet. Good selection of beer and wine for my wife to drink. Was our 3rd time here.

   Very accommodating during COVID-19! Gave us an outdoor table, food was good, and it was a nice night outside.

    I've been to Red Arrow 3 times now and have always been impressed, but this last visit topped them all. It was their first day having indoor seating open again and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They have protocols put in place to keep everything clean and adhere to social distancing. The food was excellent and the self-pour is always fun. The General Manager stopped by to chat with our table a few times and was lovely to talk to. We will definitely be returning and I recommend this place to everyone.
