We went to Raelyn's on a whim. I had heard that it was a nicer bar in the area with good food. I was hoping for some wine and an appetizer. My husband was wanting a good burger. I was a little disappointed in the wine selection. They only had Barefoot. It was ok for a cheap glass I guess but not what I had in mind. I ordered the combination appetizer platter. They were very accodomating in substituting more mozzarella sticks for the jalapeño poppers. My husband ordered a Hawaiian burger with home made BBQ chips. He said that the burger was really good. He ordered it medium well and it was still very juicy. He was not a fan of the BBQ seasoning on the chips. He thought that they would have been better plain. My appetizer was good but nothing special. As we sat there, we saw quite a few pizzas go by. The looked really great. The Rubens also looked good. They seemed to have a better beer selection. I think we will come back and try some pizza and a beer. Other reviewers commented that the service was very slow. We didn't think that the service was bad at all. It was pretty busy too. The main complaint that we had was the noise. It was very loud.

Great atmosphere, good service, good beer on tap. Have had a few meals I didn't love, but I have had a few I did. Love the new area outside, can't wait for Summer again to sit out there and enjoy a beer. SO glad to have this place in town!

What a great addition to Geneseo! There is a wide variety of items on the menu, and daily specials. The Grinder sandwich was excellent. The pizza and calzones are top notch as well! The staff is very friendly and helpful. It can get a little loud. There is a nice outdoor patio as well!

Honestly, the best of 3 different restaurants I went to while in town. Bar and grill food but excellent! Generous portions, great pricing, service and food. There were 7 of us at lunch and we all had great food. The chicken tenders looked great. My patty melt was fantastic. The homemade chips are excellent. Cant go wrong. I only gave it 4 stars because I wasn't able to have dinner here and try the dinner side of the menu. I can only imagine it would only reflect the lunch menu in quality.

Went here when visiting my grandmother. We usually got to the Cellar but was looking for a change. Best reuben sandwich I've ever had!!!!

I have eaten at Raelyn's pub a couple of times. Located in Geneseo IL, this restaurant didn't disappoint. The building itself was located in the downtown portion of the town in a historical area. I loved the exposed brick and chic lighting. Very inviting space. The FOOD was really good. I had the pleasure of trying different items on the menu, all which were good. My favorite was the bbq burger! The menu had some unique items on it for a pub which I liked and showed charisma. I gave it four stars because the service, to me, was lacking consistency. The first time we were there we weren't seated for a very long time (about 30 minutes) and were ignored at our table for another 15 minutes. I'm a die hard "foodie" so we stuck it out because we heard this place was good! We went back for the food plain and simple hoping that it was just an error with the staff. The next time after that was fine, but the third time the waitress was rude. So I don't know. Maybe they have new wait staff by now.. Overall, good food!

I like this place a lot ... wish the menu was about 25% larger, and for some reason the service seems better when it's packed. If you haven't been yet, give it a try.

Nice enough bar and the food is decent enough however the staff is extremely lacking. I have amazingly low standards in what I expect out of my servers and with that being said I was shocked. If you don't know how to make an Arnold Palmer just ask. Soup should not be served cold because you're busy talking to other workers. Hamburgers are not cheeseburgers so when a hamburger is ordered do not automatically put cheese on it. Instead of reasonably listening to complaints the owners initial reaction was to ask us to leave, which is fine. Barney's korner tap is just across the street and continues to be the best bar/bar food in town.

Decent food, but for me the crappy service I've gotten on the few times I've visited, will keep me from returning.

Okay, I've been back since my last review and I must say...MUCH BETTER. The service was a hundred times better now. Every dish I've had is better than the previous. I've tried the Shrimp Po Boi, Voodo Burger and Mozzarella sticks. I have to say, if you get anything here, get the Voodo Burger....it's spicy and DELICIOUS!

This place is amazing. They have great drinks on draft as well as amazing food. I recommend the steak wraps or the crispy chicken spinach wrap.

This place was awesome, the four of us all had different dinners and we all loved them. Probably the best onion rings I've ever had. Would have given 5 stars if they had regular fries also.
