Milk Money Brewing - La Grange, Illinois

A great gem in the middle of Lagrange, IL. Food, service and food were all excellent.

Fantastic place! I've only been here twice so far (but will be returning again) and both times have been great! On my last visit, I had a delicious pork tenderloin sandwich, a hazy IPA, and an oatmeal stout. The service was fantastic and the entire place is just cute- velvet chairs and lemon-themed wallpaper. I didn't even realize this place had opened, and I'm so glad to have found it!

Nice place with some great beers. Beertender was cool, knowledgeable, and answered my questions. Didn't try any food there, but I'd imagine the menu had several things I would have ordered had I wanted food.
Even took something home until my next visit. Parking could be an issue, by I found something just a block away.

Milk Monday Brewing has come a long way since it first opened their doors. Their craft beers have expanded. They have a great seasonal as well as standard beers. Their food has also improved in quality and variety. If you find yourself in downtown LaGrange stop in for a great meal and some very delicious beer.

Their food menu is small, with some extra items now available Thursday through Sunday – but it's about the beer anyway, right?! 😉 Pretty much anything on their menu would pair nicely with a glass/can of beer.

𝔽𝕆𝕆𝔻 𝕄𝔼ℕ𝕌:
The spice level on the buffalo chicken sandwich is bold for not having your choice of sauces. I would call the heat level slightly above average, so if you tend to stick to mild wings, it would probably be too hot for you. It was just perfect for me, however!!!! I loved the taste of their buffalo sauce, and the chicken was covered in a generous amount of it. Very moist and saucy, just the way a buffalo chicken sandwich should be!

The beer sausage was served on plate, which surprised us because it didn't specify "no bun" on the menu. It came with aesthetically pleasing dollops of both yellow mustard and picked mustard seeds for dipping.

The wood fired oyster was perfectly served on a plate reminiscent of grandma's fine china, defining its elegance from the rest of the "bar food's." 😄

Previously, I had a carryout of the MMB Burger, which was very flavorful with the aged beef. I also enjoyed the tomato soup once.

Another night, we got a carryout of wings. They had flavorful sauce, but as a person on a mission trying wings from every place who serves them, it's important to point out that they don't cut the tips off the wings. I personally prefer them cut, even when I make my own at home, so I just wanted to mention that in case someone else has the same preference (I would still order them again though).

𝔾ℝ𝔼𝔸𝕋 𝕊𝔼ℝ𝕍𝕀ℂ𝔼:
I also want to add there is a great level of service. Our first time dining in, they were out of both the drink and food item I wanted. I am not at all complaining, nor putting them down, (it was late at night after all), and I am only bringing it up because I want to mention how wonderfully our server handled it; so kind delivering the news and helpful with detailed describing of other suggestions.

She was training a new employee and both were extremely friendly, fun, and attentive to us. In between customers, every single member of the staff was working on a project, cleaning up appliances and surfaces, etc, but that did not at all interfere with our servers checking back in with us at times.

The main server knows her menu and made sure to explain which items came with what. For example, my husband asked if he could get a side of fries with his beer sausage, as the menu made no mention to side items. She made sure he understood that particular item didn't come with fries, so they would be an extra add on. That is what he was requesting, but I thought it was good service that she took the time to make sure they were on the same page.

ℂ𝕆𝕄𝔽𝕆ℝ𝕋𝔸𝔹𝕃𝔼 𝔸𝕋𝕄𝕆𝕊ℙℍ𝔼ℝ𝔼:
The atmosphere was relaxed at 8pm on a weeknight (after they just extended hours) with an inside volume level great for conversing. The restaurant has mostly regular tables with chairs, although there are a few tables paired with a booth seat on at least one side. On nice days, you'll find the garage door open for fresh air, extending into outside seating. The bar has teal-green cushioned stools in front of two large TVs. On your way to the restroom (or backdoor), be sure to take a look at the brewing equipment!

And, don't forget to purchase one of their select 32oz beer cans to go!

The food comes out of an open kitchen. All freshly made. Burgers, appetizers, roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower, incredible. Of course the beer will bring you back. Scottish export ale is particularly good. A duo guitar and vocals rounded out the experience. Third time here, will definitely return.

I really think that they need to step it up in the service department, the wait staff is just way too slow and to top it off they seem to ignore some of their clientele.
I hope that they are able to turn it around soon, they need to start being more attentive with all of their patrons, not just some.
The beer selection is very good and I really liked their IPA's.
They are a full service bar with a limited amount of wines, whiskeys, ciders and a few cocktails.
The food menu is limited with some of the most popular bar goodies, like burgers, wings, cheese curds, sandwiches, soup and salads.
I just think that they are too pricey, the food portions don't match the prices.
If you're looking for place to have a small private party, they have a section in back for you.
They have plenty of parking in the public multi level parking garage in back of the building and for your convenience, they have a back entrance as well.

Brand new, super fresh and doing great! The beer selection is great with lots of choices for all palettes, food was super tasty. Lots of snack options and some plates. Plenty of glassware, merch and crowler options to take with you. Building is clean and organized. Open kitchen makes a great view. Bathrooms were clean as well with cool wall art. I sat at the bar and had an awesome time. Marvin talked to us about beer and the hop profiles and was super knowledgeable. He kept the bar sanitized and helped us pick out food. I'll definitely be back again.
