We checked it out for a bachelor party dinner because we were looking for something different. We ordered the smoked antelope leg with sides and Frontier did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Most of us said we like to go back to try other items on the menu.

“10/10 experience.”

10/10 experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our large group of 25 guys, and the food came out incredible. We ordered the XL pig roast with additional sides, and that was way more food than expected. The presentation of the pig is awesome. It comes with three of their own bbq sauces that each are unique and tasty. The honey mustard based bbq sauce was my favorite of the three. The sides are massive as well. The Mac n cheese is so dense and cheesy. I think one would’ve been enough to feed us but we ordered three of them. Overall this was a fantastic experience. Thank you to the staff and the ownership. You guys made our trip to Chicago that much better.

Fun experience! We got a pig roast for a birthday party in the upstairs area. It was cool to see! The area is cozy with fun decor. Very enjoyable. Also, the cocktails are very tasty here.

So I brought 11 of my guys here for lunch for my bachelor party and Frontier did not disappoint. The service was incredible from bringing out the boar, live carving next to our table, all the sides, and the cocktails were great. Set the bar high for the rest of the day with my friends.

“Amazing menu with a ton of different southern options, perfect spot for brunch with a large group.”

Amazing menu with a ton of different southern options, perfect spot for brunch with a large group. We came on a Saturday for brunch and it wasn't busy at all so the service was super quick. They had great bloody Marys with the perfect amount of spice. For appetizers we would recommend the: -Grilled oysters 5/5 - So nice and garlicy and we usually just do fresh oysters -Mushroom Fritters 5/5 - They were so good and had an amazing spicy sauce For meal: - Lamb Skillet 5/5 - The garlic potatoes on the side were amazing and the lamb was cooked perfectly Drinks: - Bloody Marys were good - Mex-Presso Martini was very, very sweet - Can't go wrong with the old fashioned options! They also do entire gators or pigs, an entire group of 12 had one when we were there and it looked awesome!

Great food. Fresh and nice quality. Flavors were balanced and it was not too salty. Service was good as well. Took my mother for her 64th birthday. They don't do anything extra or special unless you pay for it. The restaurant has an Indian Jones theme going on. I guess to go with the name Frontier. Got the smoked carrot salad, mushroom fritters, Asian vegetables, and cedar plank salmon. We shared a glass of white wine. The price was not that bad for me and my mother. Glad I checked it out.

We started with the cocktail called Swamp Water, it was sweet and minty, and it paired with this charred octopus that muffaletta olives, and romesco sauce. The second cocktail was more tart and was my favorite one of the evening. Now it was time for the gator, which there were two that were gonna be served. the gators were stuffed with chicken, and served buffet style with Caesar salad, Mac & cheese, jambalaya, and skillet veggies. It literally felt like a Thanksgiving Dinner, but at a restaurant. I fixed up a a plate that was loaded with all of the goodies. The Caesar was solid, the Jambalaya had just a tad bit of heat, but you guys have no idea how good that Mac & cheese was. It was so milky, I could’ve had even more if it wasn’t gone. As for the gator, it was smokey and the texture was a combination of chicken and veal in my opinion. I was so happy to finally try smoked gator, but we didn’t stop there. the dessert cocktail was a pumpkin whiskey coffee smash, and a very pronounced flavor of cinnamon. It was with this gooey and warm blood red velvet molten cake.

“Great atmosphere, fantastic flavors, and excellent service for large groups.”

Great atmosphere, fantastic flavors, and excellent service for large groups. Came with a large party and got the whole animal service. Was a fun experience to have it carved table side. Definitely worth your time to go, especially if you book ahead for a large 8+ person sized group.

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at a place that redefined what it means to experience...”

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a place that redefined what it means to experience southern cuisine, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of celestial. The dishes were a masterful blend of time-honored traditions and elevated culinary flair, each plate exuding an elegant charm that spoke of the heart and soul of the South. From the first bite, the flavors danced across my palate like a symphony, melt-in-your-mouth bourbon-glazed chicken that tasted like it had been slow-cooked by angels themselves. These oysters were the epitome of fresh—like they had been plucked from the ocean just moments before landing on my plate. Each one had that perfect briny snap, with a flavor so crisp and clean it was like tasting the sea itself. No doubt about it, these oysters were as fresh as it gets, leaving me craving another dozen! And the drinks? Pure magic in a glass. Edgar the mixologist had clearly made a pact with the spirits of southern comfort to craft cocktails that were nothing less than divine. My “skrewball peanut butter and espresso martini” was a mesmerizing blend of peanut butter, sweetness, and just the right amount of southern sass. The ambiance, service, and stunning presentation of every dish and drink came together in a way that transported me to a world where hospitality reigns supreme and every flavor tells a story. If you’re in search of a true southern feast fit for royalty (or space travelers seeking a taste of Earth’s finest), this is your next destination. An out-of-this-world experience through and through!

“Maaaan, This place is phenomenal.”

Maaaan, This place is phenomenal! Some good friends decided to take me here for my birthday; and let me tell you. They didn't disappoint. They primarily have a bourbon bar, nothing wrong with that ..just had to mention it. First drink I started out with was "Sorel Sling" X 2. Very good... extremely smooth. For the appetizers we ordered the "Beef Brisket Empanadas", "Fried Gator Bites", "Raw Oysters", & "Mushroom Fritters". The empanadas were good, fried gator bites were good as well..but a little salty. It was most of the groups first time trying raw oysters....not bad at all. For the entrees we ended up getting the "Wagyu Ribs ' , " Beef Ribeye" & the "Crab Stuffed Branzino" For the sides we had the "Burnt End Mac & Cheese" & " Summer Corn Friscasse".  Those Wagyu Ribs are delicious! Definitely Flinstone portions. Lol The Branzino was nice and fluffy, and Beef Ribeye was cooked to perfection. Corn was good but the star of the show for the sides; was the Burnt End Mac & Cheese. We almost ordered 2 more of those to go!  For dessert we had the shareable  "Chocolate Layer Cake" which was yummy...but be warned it's chocolatey as heck. A scoop of ice cream would have been welcome to break that up...but all in all a phenomenal dinner, atmosphere, and all around vibe. We will definitely be back whether it's for the sessions they have with guest chefs every month or gather up a group to really try that full gator spread.  Frontier....I rocks with ya! Thanks Rissie & Tay for the dope B-Day Gift! ♥️

“Been staking out this restaurant for some time.”

Been staking out this restaurant for some time. Finally was able to carve out a bit of time to experience their brunch. As far as ambience goes, you definitely want to sit outside or the enclosed back porch. These areas allow you to appreciate the full effect of cozy, yet comfy dining. Gyanni, introduced himself and offered me a drink. I knew that I would be dining off the special Labor Day Brunch Menu which included a mimosa or cowboy punch, an entree and a pasty. I chose the pineapple mimosa with shrimp and grits. My bowl was loaded. I received a very generous portion that included sautéed shrimp, stone ground grits with a spicy broth and green onions. Very good. I just had to try the bacon pancakes; cornmeal in the batter, hibiscus syrup, maple glazed pork belly and crackling. Best pancakes l've ever eaten!!
