Good food & beer selection, the sante fe wrap and chicken wings were great. The enclosed patio is perfect for big groups

We came here this past weekend with a group of friends to watch some college football and relax. Great atmosphere, which started to fill up the longer we were there mostly because there was an Indiana game on the schedule for a later kickoff. Great patio area, great drink specials, and friendly staff. We really enjoyed sitting outside and hanging out together.

First time visiting this establishment and I was truly disappointed. The food was extremely distasteful. I’m a huge chicken eater and anytime I do not eat chicken your food is nasty. The staff was extremely rude as ever. They would not service me during Sunday football game due to I didn’t have a table. Mind you there was no one waiting for a table there. The guest there was friend. Another guest shared their table with me n my lady… will not revisited this establishment hopefully in the future I may reconsider revisiting this establishment but right now it’s a huge no for me.

Was here on Sunday the 20th to celebrate my bday. Made a reso for 14 people on the patio. I appreciated the reso but when we got there we got sat in the garage in the corner. While I get it was a bigger group, I wish I would’ve been told that prior. I would’ve rather sat inside or split us up in 2 tables near each other. The garage was hot, dirty, and not the patio. I always come here for the atmosphere which is why I wanted the patio, but being stuck in this garage was not good. On top of that the server was bad. She was friendly, but never came to check on us, put in the wrong food, forgot food, and brought us 4 plates and 3 menus for 15 people. I reached out to management and they emailed me with questions, I wrote them back right away, now it’s been 2 weeks and never heard back regarding my issues. I used to come here all the time.

Changed their menu and upped their prices but service is always great and the new items, while not perfected, are on their way to be delicious!

Our go to neighborhood spot, great UFC bar. Super disappointed they changed the nachos and got rid of the salmon tacos. The old nachos were way better and the main reason we’d choose this spot.

A group of three, we had a wonderful dining experience on a recent Friday evening. The chef has recently rolled out an updated menu. We really enjoyed the cauliflower bites and the roasted Brussels sprouts. The cheese curds are always good. The steak sandwich was very tasty. Extensive beer list. Tried a new cocktail, Autumn Cider Sangria, which was refreshing and tasty. Our server was friendly and provided excellent and caring service. All in all a great evening. We will be back!

I don't typically write reviews but I just want to commend the young server/staff member (I believe her name was Maddy?) who took care of my friends and I a few days ago. She was very friendly, checked in on us several times to make sure we had what we needed, and provided us with an overall great experience, as this was our first time visiting Chicago!
10/10 stars for the hospitable and welcoming service! Thanks!
