“Best place to eat in Chicago! I started going there when the owner became a client of the company I was working for in the mid-90s, setting up cash registers in the restaurant he opened for his nephew. I no longer live in Chicago, but make it a point to stop there and speak with the owner every chance I get. Always great food and exceptional service! You may have to wait in line, though. Understandably, it's a very popular place!“

Pizza is fantastic (think cheese-pull) and their selection of beers seltzers and ciders is impressive for a place this size! Our server, Shawn, was so attentive and covered all the menus for us! Even recommended adding chorizo to their poblano corn dip, which was a total game changer. 100% worth a stop in if you haven’t been yet! Sit by their fireplace!“

“Amazing place! I’m gonna say I’m a picky eater and usually fried fish isn’t something I would order because I’ve actually tried Fish and Chips in Ireland and wasn’t impressed due to it being too greasy and salty. But OMG how glad I am that I gave Fish and Chips another go at Fado. They completely changed my perspective on this dish! The fish was not overcooked at all, it was so flaky and tender and the batter was sliding off the fish - it didn’t feel greasy or heavy at all. I could actually taste the fish! The potatoes were thick and perfectly cooked also. Another thing I’d never usually order would be the Irish coffee since I just don’t like whiskey or cream or something too sweet lol. But it came recommended and I wanted something to top off my meal with. I communicated my preferences to the bartender and she made some modifications to create what I would call a perfect beverage for me. I really appreciated it because her patience and attention really changed my perspective on Irish food. I would absolutely have Fish and Chips and Irish coffee here again! Plus, overall it’s a very cozy homey place. Thank you for a great experience !“

“I stopped by on a walk and decided to check this out prior to selecting a dinner spot for my trip in Chicago. Greeted with charm as I requested to just take a glance at the space. We ended up coming back around 7 pm for dinner and I have to say… it was a stellar choice. Willow was a delightful human to serve us. We picked a seat in the window, it was a romantic and cozy vibe. Low lighting, just perfect for a dinner with a friend. Shepards Nachos are a MUST. Beef Tips…a must. Get the cheesecake… Shoutout to Willow for being a wonderful person to be around during our trip. Excellent service. 👌👌👌 We will be back. 💚“

It’s like walking on a mix of Velcro and mystery syrup, holding you in place just long enough to question every life choice that led you here. You don’t leave Irish Eyes, the carpet releases you when it’s good and ready.“

“My dad and I came in for food and drinks before the sox vs. dodgers game, we had such an awesome experience. He had the grilled cheese cheeseburger while I had the Latino burger. The fries here are arguably the best type of fries which just added more awesomeness to my opinion of the place. The mac and cheese was great and super cheesy, the burger was FANTASTIC. The blend of flavors were so good.

Was also awesome to be there while they had representatives there for Super Lyte which was a plus.

Overall amazing and we will be back for sure. Photo is of the Latino burger“
