MEET YOUR CULINARY REBELS
Chef Tim's One Rule: If It Comes From a Factory, It Doesn't Belong on Your Plate.
You'll never find a reheated "Hot Pocket" or "Pizza Roll" here - just innovative, made-from-scratch creations that'll have you planning your next visit before you finish your first bite.
Chef Tim and his team - co-chefs Jim, Tyler, and Sandy - pride themselves on weekly "Chef Specials" that keep our regulars guessing and our newcomers amazed.
From experimental flavor combinations to music-inspired burger creations, we're not afraid to push boundaries. After all, we're in an aircraft hangar distillery - playing it safe isn't in our DNA.
THE BRASSERIE + BARNSTORMER EXPERIENCE
Food Meets Spirits in an Aircraft Hangar
The Brasserie isn't just a restaurant - it's part of the complete Barnstormer experience.
Start with a tasting flight of our handcrafted spirits. Explore our innovative vodkas made with farm-grown cucumbers and horseradish. Discover whiskeys finished in maple syrup barrels and Belgian beer barrels.
Then pair your spirits with Chef Tim's creations - each dish designed to complement specific cocktails.
This isn't just dinner. This is a culinary and spirits journey you can't get anywhere else in Illinois.
