Emil's is a ""neighborhood"" kind of place, and has been in business in Mundelein for many, many years(20+?). I think their pizza is quite good, and while I would not put it on my top 3 list, I like it a lot. Beer selections are numerous, and bartenders are open to pouring a very generous glass if you've been there for more than one drink. While I would not recommend their wine selections, I don't really perceive it as a wine kind of place. They have 3 or 4 fairly well known inexspensive wines available, but most of their customers probably drink beer. Luch menu is broad, and their 3 piece chicken plate is a great value.\r

Staff is friendly, and most everyone there has worked there for quite a number of years. I read a review by a non-white person who felt they were not well received, and while I would not argue with the critical review, I would say it seems to be out of character for this business. While I agree with the critic that the customers are predominantly white, I have seen large groups from Motorola (one mile up the street) that include a highly diverse ethnic group that seem to have done just fine.\r

As a customer of Emil's I extend my apologies to the customer who was not treated well, and encourage them to try it again.\r
