210 Restaurant and Live Music Lounge
210 Green Bay Rd, Highwood, IL 60040, USA
We believe great food is born from the best ingredients. The cooking process begins with many questions and informed decisions. Which farm? What are the farming practices? Which breed of animal? Where are the fish from and how were they caught and handled? Which variety of sea salt is best for each dish? What type of oil? Each dish should be healthy, appear simple and show respect for the ingredients. Regular menu items include oak smoked beef brisket, hickory smoked chicken, dry rub ribs done with apple and cherry wood & apple-hickory smoked pulled pork. Since no man can live on barbeque alone, we will also offer a daily menu featuring local products and world flavors. Soups, salads, fresh fish, and interesting takes on sashimi. We also have fantastic desserts for those of you with a sweet tooth. We LOVE hosting private events. Let us help you plan and host the perfect private or semi-private event to celebrate any occasion. 210 can accommodate groups of any size with an assortment of delicious homemade menu items, craft beers, interesting cocktails and a variety of entertainment options to delight your guests.
