The menu has many traditional English pub dishes. The four varieties of meat pies flight is a must.

We love Elephant & Castle! It's a great English pub, good selection, food was great, as well as the service!
Amy
The server was nice. Drinks were standard. Whatever olive juice they were using wasn't very tasty but it was alright. The food was just okay, overpriced. We had to send back the chicken strips without even bothering to try them as they were over fried burnt little bits... overall just an off putting experience.

Reservations went smoothly. Service was excellent and the food was great. It was a walking distance from the Chicago Theater and we did not feel rushed at all. Glad we used OpenTable .
Christopher
Food was decent. Got the fish and chips. Tartar sauce was a bit watery. Service was very polite and fast but very little personal interaction. Seemed more concerned with moving people through. Yes I would go again as food was very good but not great and prices were reasonable.
Opentable Diner
We had a 615 pm reservation but received a text at 559 pm that our table was ready. We arrived early but then got seated in a booth by the kitchen instead of a high top that we requested. Drinks were very good, food was good but portions were a bit on the smaller size. Atmosphere was lively, service was friendly and attentive once we had a waiter. Took a bit after we were seated but that improved.

Love the cozy ambience here. Great beer and cocktail options. The butter chicken and salmon dishes we had were excellent! Friendly staff and great service ☺️

First and only time I will visit this establishment, the server was nice and honestly the best part of the experience. The hostess was rude and rushed me and my wife to leave because they needed our table for a reservation. The food took a long time to be brought to us, only to be served cold. Do not recommend.

Food was average at best. Was disappointed in the amount of corned beef on my Reuben. Literally 3 slices of meat. As if mom made my sandwich for school in grammar school. The location on Adams delivered a Reuben that made me feel slighted or ripped off. $16 really.

Great place! My wife & I are from out of state and trying to figure out where to eat as we were walking and decided to stop here and so glad we did. Very comfortable atmosphere. Quick & friendly service. My wife ordered the chicken pot pie and I ordered the shepherds pie. Both delicious & homey, like you’re eating at grandmas house. Very reasonable prices as well. Excellent drinks. Was very happy here and would definitely come back next time we’re in town.

We always stop here every time in Chicago. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and amazing staff. Said the manager made sure we were welcome and Mei the bartender made sure we had everything we needed. Get the pies!!! Fast service and a must stop any time you're in Chicago.

Was told the wait would be 30 minutes on a Friday. Ok, no big deal - we walk around, do some sightseeing and come back after 30. Then are told it would just a few minutes.
Over an hour later, we still haven’t been seated. I ask the hostess about a table, and she rudely responds it would be another 10 mins. Doesn’t even apologize for the wait so we just leave.
It’s simple - don’t lie about wait times!

We really enjoyed the whole experience before going to Drunk Shakespeare. Great food, drinks, service, and clientele.
