They let people smoke weed inside, makes people that dont smoke uncomfortable. Service is bad and the pizza is partially raw dough. Went here last year for new years and paid for the buffet and they tell me I only get one serving lol.

Visited for the bears vs rams game. Pizza and wings where fantastic. Great place to watch sporting events.

It was our first time here yesterday to watch the bears game. It was busy and the service was just excellent. They were on top of making sure we had what we needed, and the food was great! We will be back.

Food was mid at best. Event was packed for Bears/Rams. Kitchen was probably overwhelmed but not an excuse
Atmosphere was good. TV/audio equipment was very good.

I’ve been coming for years for sporting events and live music. It’s an old movie theater converted into a bar so it has plenty of room and seating. The food is good and the staff has always been friendly. Our server for the bears game was Angelica and she is very sweet and attentive. A staple bar in the Chicagoland area.

Packed because of Bear game but service and food were great. Highly recommend

Great place to watch a game, but the food is brutal. Pizza dough is never fully cooked, top layer is always raw. When I complained server claims it is just “soft” from the grease from the toppings…..nope….top layer is grey because it is not fully cooked. Experienced it twice. Recently had a burger and chips, greasiest burger I ever had. Chips were also soggy. Will still go to watch a game, but will not order food.

*Good place to see live music *Always a fun crowd *Service was the only reason I didn't give 5 ⭐. It's not bad, but it's not 5 ⭐
If you enjoy lack of service and a smoke filled bar of the 90s this is the place for you. What a disappointment. I’m not sure how they are getting around smoking laws. People everywhere were vaping at their seats and the “smoking rooms” had door wide open to let smoke into the entire place. Also, the pizza which took over an hour to get was like eating cardboard. I can’t believe it’s Salernos. At least the Bears won.

If it would let me do a 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND I would…. But 1 star will have to do. Where do I even start? This place smells awful, yet somehow still manages to attract washed-up rappers and bands as entertainment. This establishment should have closed the moment The Foundry shut down. Instead, they’ve chosen to live in the past, displaying Foundry mugs everywhere as a reminder of what a better venue once existed.
A group of eight of us came to watch the Bears game, and calling the experience “horrible” would be sugarcoating it. There were roughly 60–70 people upstairs (15–20 tables) and only two servers assigned to the entire area. When I asked one of the servers if she could make it over to our table, she flat-out told me, “Honestly, I’m not going to be able to make it over there.”
All we wanted was some food and a few buckets of beer. Instead, we were forced to go downstairs repeatedly because the upstairs bartender—who seemed completely overwhelmed and clueless—had a line every single time we needed drinks.
We eventually ordered food from that same bartender: one pizza, a few wraps, and a couple of cheeseburgers. This was during the second quarter of the Bears game. The pizza finally arrived in the fourth quarter, and none of the other food ever showed up.
This place is an epic failure of a bar and venue. Jon Taffer seriously needs to pay this place a visit—though I’m not sure even he could save it.

Terrible service.. our server was nowhere to be found. We had to place our order at the upstairs bar. The male bartender upstairs was extremely rude. You can tell he hates his job. The other female bartender working with him (Alyssa) was super sweet. I can tell she was overwhelmed but she did the best she should. We appreciated her services. Don’t come here unless you like cold food. Food literally tasted like it came out of the refrigerator. This place needs new management and staff and a better customer service system.

Terrible service. Some workers are v rude. Was at a table for hours without a server and when we asked for one we got a lot of attitude. The place as a whole is great but the workers and service ruined it.

Would not recommend you come here. Coming from someone’s who’s worked in customer service my entire working life; The service and food are absolutely awful. We came in to watch the bears game we were here for an hour and a half before a server came up to us and got us drinks. No food menu, we asked for one but ended up having to get ourselves. Our server didn’t even take our food order so we placed it ourselves at the bar upstairs. God awful service the guy up there was so rude and treated us like an inconvenience even though his job is to take our order and get us drinks. The girl (Alissa) ((absolutely nothing bad to say about her)) running around doing everything was so sweet and amazing this is not towards her she was carrying this whole show by herself so grace to her. But somehow when we got the food after over an hour of waiting it was cold, wrong, and didn’t taste the best. There’s more to say but I’m not trying to make this too long. I would save yourself from eating or drinking here especially with having to deal with the staff.
