Hoffman Estates-based eatery The Assembly Bar & Café is expanding to a second location in West Dundee, located at 901 W. Main St.
The new location will move into the former home of Chili’s Restaurant sometime in 2023. Owners Gary and Jeanne Taylor are still working on the deal for the new location along Route 72, according to the Daily Herald. Although the original Hoffman Estates location first opened in 1978, the Taylor family purchased it from the original owner in 1995 and committed to maintaining the heritage of The Assembly. Today, the restaurant is known for its award-winning burgers made from fresh ground beef.
The most popular burger by far is the Bionic Burger. These mouth-watering burgers aren’t the only things served at this restaurant. The Assembly has also maintained the quality BBQ Ribs, winning 1st Place at Arlington Park Ribfest. The ribs are still purchased from the same purveyor used in 1978, while the recipe for homemade BBQ Sauce has not changed. Guests can also expect various American starts such as fried pickles and stuffed potato skins, as well as homemade soups, chili, sandwiches, salads, and seafood entrees.
“When The Assembly Bar & Café was established in 1978, there were cornfields all around the restaurant,” according to their website. “Many things have changed over the years except for The Assembly’s commitment to fresh quality food and excellent friendly service. Most of the same recipes have been used since its establishment. It is estimated that over 2,500,000 burgers have been sold since opening.”
