Redstone American Grill: American Buffets and New Meeting Space in Oakbrook

Jenny Berg
January 9, 2012

Open in Oakbrook Terrace since 2004, Redstone American Grill opened a private dining room on December 15. Equipped with a patio and a 70-inch flat-screen TV for PowerPoint presentations, videos, slide shows, and sports games, the room seats 50 and can hold receptions for 60.

True to its name, the restaurant serves hearty American fare. Breakfast buffets offer apple-smoked bacon and cream cheese scrambled eggs, and for meeting breaks, energy bars, fresh fruit, and mixed nuts are on hand. Three lunch menus are available, with options such as prime rib sandwiches, and dinner buffets contain grilled salmon and key lime pie.

Though not available for buyout, the restaurant has semiprivate areas for as many as 30 guests. A terrace with a fire pit has a capacity of 95 and is available for select private events.
