welcome to the squire restaurants

A Good Place to Be

The Karas family legacy inspires every detail of our hospitality. When brothers Paul and George Karas opened The Village Squire in West Dundee in 1974, their passion was to create more than a dining spot—they envisioned an inviting environment where every guest felt truly welcome. Over time, several generations of the Karas family, alongside a devoted staff with long-standing dedication, have continued this tradition, crafting memorable experiences and authentic care into each moment.

Lovely outdoor seating that's cute and cozy! Server was fabulous and attentive! They have live music and I really like their berry nut salad and mushroom appetizer. We came late on a Sunday and were seated right away.
