Bulldog Ale House

Visited on a Sunday evening shortly before a Chicago Bears Sunday Night Football game. For a Sunday evening, this bar was very close to empty. We ordered the mushroom tacos which were average and we also ordered two cheese pizzas. The pizzas were really good and I would recommend them. Ordered a few rounds of Bulldog Amber Ales and Bulldog IPAs. Both the cheese pizzas and Bulldog drafts were the Sunday special and at discounted prices compared to other days. The TVs around this bar definitely need an upgrade - Some of them have constant black horizontal bars that appear every few seconds and some of them have discoloration issues. The bad quality of the TVs are noticeable because they are super outdated and need a major upgrade around this bar.

I had to walk out of the playoffs last Sunday it's going to meet a friend of mine to watch the Bears game there but the stench of the place was just so god-awful I had to leave the smell in the stench around the bar area and it permeated the rest of the restaurant I had to leave!! The TV's need to be updated it is almost impossible to watch a game in a color TV that has the actual colors of the grass and the actual colors of the team.. I was there a couple of weeks ago and the food was good and there was no awful smell.It is a very nice place however they need to fix a few things before I go back. One get rid of the to fix the or get new TVs there's a Sam's club in at Costco not too far away

Food is great. Bar specials and food specials are awesome! Wish all the tv’s worked though. Half of them are either broken or the color on them are all messed up.

ONLY ONE WAITRESS! ON A SATURDAY!! Wait for food was long. Don't bother if there is a TEAM of kids in the house. No discipline. Chaotic! This used to be our favorite place. Not anymore for sure.

Saturday the 16th we came in around 6:30 and not crowded in dining area. A young man sat us in a booth and we waited over 15 minutes with no luck not one person acknowledged us! We got up and left and when we approached the Hostess station, I told the young male Host we were leaving and that not one server approached us. He said ok and let us walk out the door!!! Who trained this young man?? We Will NEVER go to Bulldogs again!!

Quick and easy lunch spot and sports bar. Lots of their TVs are losing their picture which was annoying to watch on. I’m not talking about just 2 or 3, seemed like almost all of them were starting to fade and die. Service at the bar was friendly and quick.

Not crowded at all and it took a long time to get a drink. I suppose sitting at the bar might be a better option. Very disappointing.

Work for a cleaning company. Took our break at Bella's pizza next door. 12 p.m. on a Friday. No one was outside in the seating area. We sat down to eat since Bella's had no seating inside.My employee had just tried to place an order at bulldogs and was told to wait "one second" on three different occasions so she didn't get anything.Within 5 minutes the manager came out and had us leave. If it was busy I would 100% understand. But in this situation it was just unnecessary.

Very slow wait staff. NO air conditioning...was 83 degrees inside. Table next to us was complaining about the heat as well. Awful that you make your staff work in those conditions.

Total joke. Management needs to learn how to manage. Very short on staff so wait times are even longer. Only thing positive about this place is the bartenders are good. Everything else, food, service and mgmt. is a joke. Try some other

management is horrible, Frankie specifically, reily and tracy are blessings and deserve a raise. Frankie is disrespectful, doesnt care about his employees and does not take their needs into account. he fired 3 of his employees unrightfully, and borderline illegally. lemme explain, on a girls third day serving ever frankie overworked her gave her 5 tables including a table of over 13 people. with barely any help he fired the employee for crying in a bathroom overwhelmed after stating he would give her easier hours starting off since she was new to serving over all. fresh out of highschool, freshly 18 he fired a hostess for being unable to come into work for minor medical reasoning and missing ONE DAY due to feminine issues that did not require a doctor visit. he also lied about the way the 3rd employee closed the store and claimed he did a horrible job and left the store in pieces when the poor kid wasnt even the one who closed. it was a closing manager. frankie then proceeded to tell the closing manager she did a great job but fired the other worker. clearly this workplace is biased, and something needs to be done about the way this mans running the store.- replying to your statement i had a table of 15 along with tables of 2-4 with multiple staff members claiming frankie had zero right to put that much on someone with no prior work experience in the industry on their 3rd day. so twisting a story to make your business look better when all employees bad mouth your manager really says something.
