A group of us decided to go to "caddy" after a poker game because it was close by and we used to frequent this place back in the day. What a mistake! This place has gone down hill. Upon arriving on 7/14/2013 at 145am, the parking lot was practically empty and the place was dead. We found it odd that the kid scanning IDs at the door said it was a boring night. We asked why and he replied, "we havent thrown anyone out yet." The winner of the poker game bought all of us a round of shots and a beer. After taking the shots, we take our beers outside to the deck area where you could smoke. Let me note that its now 2am and last call isnt till 230am because they now close at 3. We go out to the deck, light up a smoke and talk about the card game. Now comes a overzealous little chubby bouncer who just left a group of employees that was sitting at a table together, to state that we needed to leave the deck area because theyre closing down. We mentioned it was only 2 am and last call was at 230. Mind you we were respectful, not drunk, older late 20s white folk just looking for a drink after a fun poker game. Little chubby napoleon pushed out his chest and screamed to get off the deck and got in our face. Being sober, we laughed and said calm down. We killed our cigs and moved inside. HE continued to taunt us as we walked away when his fellow co-workers outside told him to stop. Like a swat team, comes other bouncers with cameras filming what they think is going to be a fight. The only person freaking out was the little chubby bouncer. As we walked back inside he said " Im from chi-town and I will F all you up. We finished our beers and were forced to leave. You cant help but laugh at the whole situation. You have the doorman saying hes bored because they didnt throw anyone out. You have overzealous bouncers that are power hunger and instigate situations. To the manager whose name we didnt get (guy in blue polo shirt), you know we were not trouble and you know we werent drunk. You know you lost business and I could see it on your face when I mentioned that your bouncers will cost you money. Goodbye caddy ranch it was nice to know you.

Honestly, I was having an amazing time here with all of my friends. It was my first time so I did not know what to expect. The atmosphere was great and I had a lot of fun. That is until I was approached by a very unfriendly bouncer. The entire night I had three drinks spread out. I mostly spent the night dancing with my friends and talking to new people. I was talking to a few new people when I was approached by a bouncer and asked to leave. This shocked me as I was simply minding my own business talking to friends. He claimed that I was falling asleep and should leave. This was ridiculous as the people I was with were there to attest that I had been talking to them the whole time. The bouncer did not care and just kept telling me to call it a night. I was very upset as I didnt even have a drink in my hand and was basically completely sober at that point. He wouldnt even let me retrieve my friends that I came with, so I had to take an Uber back by myself. I understand it is the job of bouncers to ensure safety of the patrons, but I was not doing anything to provoke concern of my safety or others. Completely uncalled for.

This is the best line-dancing joint Ive been to. Large dance floor, a DJ to call which dance to do for each song, 50/50 mix of couples/lines, full bar, and great pizza. The service is Terrible, but you dont go to a country bar to be treated like a superstar. Lessons 1-2 days a week, half price pizza 1 day/wk, beer pong table, outdoor patio, restaurant attached. Dance club music after midnight on Saturday, at which point the quality of dancing and clientele quickly deteriorate.

Horrible place, I had to call the police to get my drivers license and debit card back because they claimed it was fake along with me having all my identification in my wallet, when I was calling the police and giving them my information they decided to give me back my license, realizing I was the identified person on the id...?and told me I was not allowed inside. Management is not appropriate

Expirence was horrible. Absolutely horrible. The only thing this place has going for them is the dance floor and extremely polite shot girl. The servers are rude and dont even know the menu nor drinks. The bartenders on top of that cant even poor a drink. Youre better off buying just a beer. Besides that, this place is horrible and they wonder why the place is dead.

Website says country western music and dancing all night every Friday night. Not even close. My wife and I went there to dance and they played possibly 4 country songs all night. If youre looking for a night out for country dancing this isnt a country bar they just pretend to be.

During the "line dance scare" of the 80s there were 10 plus Chicago Country Dance venues. Only Cadillac has stood the test of time. And its not all line dance. Caddy is the only club in Chicagoland to provide quality country couples dance lessons for some 20 years. I love it.

love the new dancefloor. love the lessons with all the teachers except for Janet. food great at Morettis been a regular for 20+ years and gonna keep going til they close and hope they never do. Their dj Dave is the best country dj anround !

Egh, country bar that seems on its way out. The time I got dragged there it was a theme of prom night, which seemed desperate for a country bar. Two stars because the mechanical bull was free.

The ranch is awesome. Nothing in this area beats the Cadillac Ranch. You would probably have to go to Texas to find something as cool as this place.

Only serve pizza, wasnt to busy for a Saturday night but the DJ played great music and the bartenders were on their game. Id try it again.

I know Cadillac Ranch (now, Lucky Star) since 1998 and its an excellent live music bar to have fun with your friends.

Loved the live music. They have a mechanical bull, a beer pong set, and bags in the outdoor area.

This place is great to hang out at on a Saturday night. Food is really good here as well.
