We could have stayed all afternoon. The bartender handled the rush with grace, and we never felt ignored. A truly welcoming atmosphere, though perhaps a bit too tempting to linger.
Never disappointing! Love this neighborhood restaurant/bar. The food is always so fresh and delicious! The service always makes us feel appreciated as a customer and taken care of.
Good drinks, great food, and even better staff! Love this place :D

The bar offers a variety of cocktails, including bloody marys with generous garnishes, and serves strong and delicious drinks. The bartenders are friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable, making customers feel at home. Many have described the service, food, and drinks as excellent, with customers raving about their experiences. The menu includes a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan fare, such as several salads, burger alternatives, nacho alternatives, and sides. The bar also hosts a monthly Board Game night, which customers have enjoyed. The drinks are fantastic, and the bar offers a selection of low/no alcohol fancy drinks for those who prefer them. The food is noted to be several notches better than typical bar food, with the carrot cake and iced coffee receiving special praise for their quality and taste. Prices are more than reasonable, and the staff are warm and welcoming. The crowd is more mixed than a typical gay bar, creating an inclusive atmosphere. Overall, Big Chicks is an organic, real, and charming establishment that is part of the DNA of gay culture in Chicago, making it a must-visit spot in the neighborhood.
