“Had the pleasure of hosting my first baby shower here a few weeks back, and despite the covid issues we were still able to pull off an amazing party! With the help of the owner Jessica! Everything was wonderful, plenty of space for guests to keep a social distance, bar option available, a nice stage and Dj booth for music. Everything was very clean and modern. Jessica even helped us get decorated and set up. I couldn't have asked for a better venue! Everything turned out beautifully! Thank you City Limits! We will definitely be returning soon“

“Another Local Gem with Great Vibes and Delicious Eats! I recently visited Double Play Saloon and couldn't have been more impressed with the overall experience. This local bar exudes a fantastic atmosphere that captures the essence of a community gathering spot. From the moment I stepped in, the lively vibes and friendly ambiance set the stage for a memorable evening. Diving into the culinary experience at Double Play Saloon, the spotlight falls on the exquisite Italian sausage sandwich I had the pleasure of indulging in. This culinary masterpiece showcased a symphony of flavors that left an indelible mark on my taste buds. The Italian sausage, meticulously cooked to perfection, showcased the chef's culinary expertise. Each bite revealed a burst of rich, savory goodness that spoke volumes about the quality of ingredients and the artistry in the kitchen. The marriage of gooey mozzarella and the tantalizing red sauce was nothing short of a flavor revelation. The cheese, with its luxurious melt-in-your-mouth texture, complemented the robustness of the sausage impeccably. Meanwhile, the savory red sauce added a layer of depth and complexity, turning a simple sandwich into a gastronomic delight. This amalgamation of well-balanced elements elevated the Italian sausage sandwich to a whole new echelon of deliciousness. It wasn't just a meal; it was a culinary journey that tantalized the senses and left a lasting impression. Kudos to the team at Double Play for crafting a dish that transcends expectations and adds a delectable chapter to the overall dining experience.This Saloon exceeded my expectations with its fantastic atmosphere, welcoming vibes, and mouthwatering Italian sausage sandwich. I'll definitely be back for more, and I highly recommend this local gem to anyone looking for a great time and delicious food. Cheers to Double Play Saloon for making my visit a memorable one! I'll be coming back for more and try the rest of the menu!“

“Great food and fun!“

“It was a fun time I had a wonderful day“

“They have the best cheeseburger in Chicago. I went there in 2012, and 2013 on Kedzie, and omg it’s the best. I used to live in Highland Indiana and I took public transportation which it was GPTC bus to Downtown Hammond, and pace bus from Downtown Hammond Indiana to Downtown Harvey Illinois, and pace 349 from Harvey Transportation Center to 111th and Western, and CTA Route #112 bus from 111th and Western to 111th and Kedzie. Well now since I finally move to Chicago Auburn Gresham with my fiancé, and now I live 15 minutes away. I take 79th Street bus from 79th and Ashland to 79th and Kedzie, and transfer to CTA Route #52A Southbound and go all way to 111th and Kedzie. I’m even more glad you guys reopened which I had no idea where you guys relocated at Thanks to my friend Tracy for telling me where it is. I went there with my fiancé Raymon. I’m so glad you guys are amazing, and the service was great too. I’ll be back. This place is even very affordable.“

“Food was great very nice inside great party room also!!!“

“We really enjoy the food plus the prices are very reasniable . We have tried almost everything on the menu and have enjoyed it all. Blake is an excellent bartender and host who makes you feel at home. He has a friendly personality and always has a smile on his face. Megan is a wonderful waitress who is friendly and outgoing. Best of all she makes us feel special because she always remembers what we like best. The owner (Roger) is a great person and always greets us with a big smile. He makes us feel like we are always welcome. We highly recommend BJ's for a nice evening out I'd you are in the Oak Lawn area. joel/Roy“

“Well, if they cook your food properly, it's not bad... however, if they don't and you need to send it back to cook it (not a fan of raw burgers 🤷‍♀️) and it comes back the same way... be prepared to not eat and pay for the meal anyway. I asked for it to be removed from our bill (over $100 total so not just a couple things) and they removed it after a small "fight" but literally charged us for a basket of fries cuz I ate a few fries off my plate, I guess. they don't take care of their mistakes nor do they care to make things right. Lost future business, everyone at the table was shocked.“

“Absolutely love this place!! I had been bragging to my daughters about the food and service for months. When I finally got them together we went and the girls were very happy with this choice. The food was excellent and the service was wonderful! We’ve decided this was our go to place to eat!“

“love coming here when I'm home! beers, bears games and friends“

“Food and Service outstanding We are glad we hire you guys for my retirement party“

“Every time I go to Smoke Filled Room, it's a GREAT time. The food, the service, the drinks, and the music are always on point. The atmosphere is grown and chill. And it's so nice to see people having a good time vibin' and enjoying themselves. It doesn't matter what day or when I go, it's always good vibes. The owners are a beautiful couple, and they walk around mixing and mingling with everyone. You gotta check it out!!!“

“We loved the place & the food. Wish I had felt like a drink😊Welcoming!“

“great bar. great owner. good food. plus there's a guy there that pretty good at darts“

“Stopped by Loncar Chico for dinner—solid neighborhood spot. Had the burger with grilled onions, side of fries, and a couple cold beers. Burger was juicy, fries were crispy, and the vibe was chill. Crowd was mixed, mostly regulars, felt real local. Service was friendly but kinda slow once it got busy. Nothing fancy, just good bar food done right. Would def slide back.“

“Amazing Place . Maiya is the best .“

“This bar is a very nice GEM that has a great decor. The beers are ice cold and the drinks very refreshing. Taco Tuesdays are very tasty and the catfish dinner is Awesome. This is a very friendly bar with colorful characters. Watch the game from any seat or select a song from touch tunes and dance your cares away. Try you luck on the gaming machines or just have a couple of drinks with your buds.

“I've been going to Tuesday Bar bingo for about 2 years. I don't win often but enjoy a good group get together. Recently I won three games in one day. On Memorial Day, my husband and I stopped for lunch wanting to use the certificates. On the certificate, it states for use "only" on Monday, Wednesday & Thursday. No mention of holiday exclusion. Before ordering, we asked about using all of our certificates and found that it was one per table. Ok. We ordered. The manager said we couldn't use it on a holiday. We debated that and she allowed us to use one. I gave my other two to two couples at other tables. Come to find out from the manager that her decision to allow "us consideration for use of the certificate on a holiday" only applied to us. I had to go back and take back those I gifted. How embarrassing. To me, Rooftop Tap makes it very hard to use their prize certificates. I've spent on average $30 + tip every time I go to bingo and this is how they treat customers. I suggest that you "clearly state" on the certificate your terms. They lost my business and possibly that of a few friends that normally meet for that Tuesday bingo.“

“Rachael Marcotte, whoever you are…you are by far my favorite Marcotte!!! Keep on bringing down the house, thanks for an epic night!!! ?“

“very nice atmosphere. friendly staff but the food meh deuces sports bar is way better food“

“One of the only bars in Oak Lawn that I frequent. This place is like going to a cousin's house, the atmosphere is always cool and chill, the DJ plays good music, you can usually run into the owner inside and she is a beautiful person and really down to earth. Drinks are great and my favorite food on the menu is the salmon bites (fried salmon strips). This is the new Cheers actually. Everybody here is very friendly and welcoming, again it's like being at a cousin's house so you basically just speak to everybody inside and bond. Thank you Geneva, love this place.“

“Clean sports complex and equipments are newer.“

“The Tin never disappoints! Great atmosphere and the bartenders are some of the best around. Try the burgers and the pizza! Perfect spot to catch up with friends and watch a game. Great for pool players!“

“Daytime bartender was an older ignorant woman. We got there just before shift change so that was good. New bartender/server asked us what we wanted right away when she saw us. Old lady wouldn't give the time of day. There were 4 of us and I said F this place let's go, but wife saw the new girl and said we have a waitress so we don't have to deal with her. I said fine. She was the tender/server which she handled great. Food was good services was good, but when we come back and if old broad is working, nope, we're leaving.“

“Best carryout pizza in town. Hot, delicious and very reasonable price for quality and size. Also excellent staff.“

“I went to the comedy show Sunday it was really nice the drinks was drinking da food was very good our waitress and waiter was good I recommend this place.“

“chicken was amazing. catfish was great. I will be back. the staff was very friendly.“

“My first visit here. I did not get to try any food. That's because lunch hours are 12:00 to 3:00 pm, and the kitchen opens back up at 5:00 p.m. I picked up my order today. I called it in. Please make sure when you call in your order to check to see what the specials are and how much they cost. According to the post, the special on Wednesday is a patty melt with fries for $6. When I got there they told me there was no special on patty melts. So I paid the regular price of $10.50 each. It's not a bad price but I was expecting to pay $12 in tax for two. I did go over the post with the cashier to make sure of any other specials going on during the week and of course the other specials were legit but not the one today. So I don't understand why the patty melt was not a special today.

Okay, let's get to the food. The patty melt was delicious. It was seasoned perfectly. The onions were grilled perfectly. The food was nice and hot.

I will come back again but I'm going to double-check to make sure about the prices before I do.

It's a great spot to hang out for lunch and dinner. There are less than 20 items on the menu but they are nicely priced. Also, if you're a drinker there's plenty of that too. And the prices are great.“

“My family and I have been eating here for over a decade and the food has always been amazing. The hot wings are their specialty but they also offer a great variety of other foods. The people are always friendly and the food is always prepared on time.“

“Best Lil Dive on the Southside!“

“Good people and great service!!!“

“It was a cool little spot“

“Came for one thing, and that was the egg rolls. Not disappointed at all I got the three for 15. Philly salmon, Philly cheesesteak and Philly cheese chicken out of the three the salmon is my favorite. Yet, all of them are hot, fresh roll and delicious. They are filling and crispy. The Philly steak could use a little bit more cheese, but overall very good. Would definitely recommend. Lastly, the lady that waited on me she was very pleasant and good customer service.“

“Place not so big but the music selection is up 2 date, the food is good & the drinks are exceptional! I don’t recommend you go during tax season because you won’t be able to get in because of the crowds! Other than that this is a great place to go for drinks and wings“
