Cheesie's Pub & Grub - Lakeview

Love both locations I've visited: Lakeview and Wicker Park. Do wish they'd bring back the grilled cheese with ham and bacon. Only problem I've had is the extremely loud music. I visit at least once a month, and the music is always too loud to have a conversation. Stopped meeting up with friends because we can't hear each other.

I've been coming to Cheesie's since the early 2010's. Always exceptional service with exceptional Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Do yourself a favor and try the monthly grilled cheese. You'll find something amazing to taste!

CHECK YOUR FINAL BILL AT THIS PLACE, MAKE SURE ITS RIGHT.
I've had such a... mixed experience here. Every time I've gone to this location something was bad.
The first time we had a bartender who just didn't care, he didn't greet us, didn't acknowledge us at all even though he passed us many times helping others. Eventually he basically tossed a menu at us and came back when he was ready. In all it was not a great first impression. We later spoke to a different bartender who said she usually works on Wednesdays and she was super lovely, I wish she would have taken care of us instead.

Unfortunately the website for cheesies apparently isn't updated regularly cause the next 4 Wednesdays consecutively I've tried to go to participate in their Game Night. The first time I find out it's every other week, even though the website says every week. The second time it was canceled, but they say they might do it the next week. Third time I come in and I'm told it's every other week so I must have been given bad information.
Finally the 4th week I come in and it's canceled again.
The young lady who is typically there on Wednesday took such great care of us though. She has seen us try to participate in game nights for all this time and she took great care of us, I cannot compliment her enough.

Next we come back, because even though all this was annoying, the happy hour deals are great, and we like the people who have taken care of us since that first man. But the only happy hour beer us out. And remains to be out for at least a week, I'm assuming longer. At this point it's difficult to justify going because the deals were good and now they're not avalible.

Finally the worst experience, I try to pay online and the bill presented online is completely different than the paper one, both of them have wrong information on them! The subtotal is different, the tax added is different, the prices for some of the items are different!
When we show this to the manager, he seemed genuinely suprised but his reaction was "oh that is crazy I don't know why that's happening, are you paying with card or cash?"
I was pretty disappointed in that lack of customer service.

I cannot stress enough CHECK YOUR FINAL BILL AT THIS PLACE, you never know if it's right or wrong.

I had a birthday reward for dine in, and the server was super kind and attentive. The food came out fast and was tasty. They even give you what is leftover from your milkshake. The server is really what made it a good dining experience. I truly appreciate it and recommend this place for a quick and easy lunch or dinner!

Caprese sandwich with a side cup of tomato soup! Perfect on those chilly or cloudy days where the world seems to turn a bit slower. Even better when you’re feeling under the weather & in need of something light but comforting.

I ordered the Nov special sandwich "The Gobbler" today. IT WAS SO DELICIOUS I NEEDED TO LEAVE A REVIEW!

It's essentially Thanksgiving in a sandwich. It comes with cranberry aiola. It's big. I could only eat half. But I'm looking forward to the leftovers..mmmm.

If you get the opportunity & you love Thanksgiving food in a big sandwich form?
Eat this. 100+/10.

Their other sandwiches are delicious too.

Staff is also always pleasant, fast, & accommodating. Don't skip the wonderful experience of Cheesies.

Can’t even seem to get a sauce order right. They charge extra but it’s always wrong or missing. This place has really gone down hill the last few years
