The Food Mafia’s Lets Roll With It Rolled Ice Cream

Travelers beware!!! Upon arriving the red flags to leave were there, but it was late night and we were all very hungry after a long day. It was 86 degrees today, still 74 degrees after midnight when we went in but they had a heater fan ON in the entrance which was just odd.
The radio music was so loud (night club volumn) we couldn't hear our server or each-other talk. We stuck it out because it was late, and like I said, we were very hungry.
The server was taking quite some time to get back to our table after bringing our drinks (not sure why she didnt grab our food order when drinks were brought) so we asked a different server if we could switch tables in hopes that the music was less obnoxious at a different table. It was literally a tiny bit less obnoxious in the corner not enough to be enjoyable.
The second server ended up taking our order. At first she was very polite until our food came out and suddenly acted like we were inconveniencing her when we asked for some extra sauces and an extra plate that she should have brought out with the shareable plates we ordered. She rolled her eyes but did bring the sauces and plates quickly. Then brought 2 other sauces that were not requested but we still got charged for them.
The bill came, we had a group of 4. 2 couples that i guess she assumed was paying all together… because the bill was not 2 seperate checks as it should have been. When asked to seperate she said they dont allow that. She said they could split the bill in half and just take 2 cards which was crazy considering our bill was much different in price then our friends. So we paid cash, they paid card after we itemized it ourselves. The other and most disturbing thing was the owners include an odd fee on the bill. “Employee healthcare” its an extra gratuity (on top of the automatic 20% they added without an option) that was added on to pay for their employees healthcare i guess. Very tacky to say the least. This bar was a dive. Food was mediocre. Accept the handcut fries, those were delicious. The cuban has an odd sliced discolored meat on it instead of pork that was very off putting and tasted awful. No where near an actual cuban sandwich. Do not go here unless you like low class, overpriced food and sub-par service!

J Tapp is a local gem. The food is consistently delish and their menu changes seasonally but always keep our faves around. The service is professional and quick and they’re always open to suggestions. The bar menu is creative and seasonal keeping us on our toes. We order anything from a craft beer during the week to an espresso martini on the weekends. It gets quite crowded during sporting events so come early to get seating for a bears/blackhawks/bulls game.

3.5% Employee Health Fee snuck on the bill. Was also severed a beer that was “fresh off the truck” which is a key term for I’m getting a beer that was half foam as they changed the keg. Lowered the price on the one when I mentioned it but really shady business practice in my opinion. Won’t be back, encourage others if you are just in the area for drinks (because that’s all I was) there’s better places.

This place has a relaxed neighborhood vibe with plenty of space to hang out with friends. The menu has a good mix of pub favorites, and the food comes out hot and satisfying. It’s also a solid spot for catching a game, with plenty of TVs and a lively atmosphere.

Food was great, service was great and the vibes were great! I will have to return to this place because it was excellent all around. I had the smash burger with fries and it was probably the best burger I’ve had in awhile. Definitely recommend!

Perfect place to grab a beer + some food after hanging on the Chicago River. Such a vibe. Walking distance from Kenzie bridge if you’re on the water for the day.

Such a cool place to hangout and chat! Servers are friendly. I tried the lavender cocktail and veggie pizza which was one of the best I have had.

The GM Mara and her outstanding crew did an absolutely wonderful event. Their communication was outstanding, food was very good, and attention to detail was spot on. Highly recommend anyone with a party up to 125 to book here. Mara, thank you so much for making our Friday night event unforgettable.

Three servers on rotation, extensive menu, 10/10 food. My boyfriend and I had cleared our plates before I could take a picture. Great space to watch the game upstairs and an amazing Lemonade! It’s a week later and we’re still talking about their Chicken Philly sandwich how this is a must visit the next time we come back.
