The chicken sandwich is a favorite!! Mary is a great cook. Don't sleep on the food here. If Mary's cooking - get it! Also, she does some great game day specials - nachos, etc. Good snacks. Good beefs, good sausages, and the best chicken mozzarella bacon sandwich on a hoagie.

Best bar on the NW side by far. Food is above average, especially considering the price, and the beer list is better than 99% of bars in Chicago. If you want a dive bar feel with a specialty beer bar tap list (over 20 taps!), this place is the best.

My love and I were exploring the Forest Glen area on a lazy Saturday to check out a neighborhood rummage sale, and we were getting hungry. We had been to Rabbits Bar and Grill (located on Foster near Elston) before with friends, and we were looking to revisit for lunch and a beer. We arrived around 1:30 PM to a practically deserted place, though a trickle of peeps eventually found their way there. Rabbits has an outdoor patio and indoor tables, but we chose to belly up to the bar. The woman behind the bar was a one-woman-band during our visit, serving our drinks and ice water, and taking care of our food orders. Our food took a few minutes to prepare on the grill, but it was worth the wait. I ordered the Texas Burger and it was enormous, messy and satisfying with bacon, cheese, grilled onion, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and BBQ sauce. The burger comes with fries or tots, and I went with tots that were perfectly crunchy. Many items on the menu come with fries or tots, or you can get either side for a measly $1 upcharge if you order a beef sandwich. Overall, the pricing of the food seems very reasonable, as the most expensive item is the Texas Burger ($10.45). My love enjoyed her mini fish sandwiches, an order of two cod sliders and a side of fries. Previously I have enjoyed the Joe's beef and onion, which is sort of like a Philly cheesesteak with grilled onions, sweet peppers and cheese on garlic bread. They have an extensive beer list with interesting craft beers. I tried The Claddagh Irish Stout by Phase Three Brewing, and if you are into trying a beer you've never heard of before, you might just be in luck here at Rabbits.

My friend and I were in the area for the weekend and stopped by here on a Saturday night. We were a bit nervous because we’d never been before but let me tell you… Best service ever!!! We felt instantly welcomed, both bartenders were super nice and talked to us like human beings, instead of just customers. He even let us choose the music! The atmosphere was perfect. If I lived in Chicago I’d be there every weekend. Definitely recommend.

I used to frequent Rabbits but it is so understaffed. They have two sizable rooms and there was often one server who also served as the fry cook. During the evening of a big game the main room was crowded, but the TV in the other room was turned off. It is high up and a ladder is needed. When I asked if it could be turned on I received a nasty response. She told me she was too busy. And she was, but could she have said it nicely? Knowing there would be a game that evening, could she have had some foresight and turned it on earlier in the afternoon? Could she have at least given me a positive sympathetic look or apology? Could her boss by a remote control?And speaking of the boss, I never met him. But I see quite a few reviews here saying he and his wife are racist. I don't doubt that. The guy has a memorial to Guantanamo Bay, where Muslim men were captured without evidence and without a fair trial and waterboarded and tortured in myriad other ways. The food, the drinks, the prices, the atmosphere are all fine, but I go to a dive bar to be around humanity, but to proudly display a memorial to a stain on American history, there are plenty other dive bars around. Go to the Cabin, or the shock Shop, or Paddy Macs or plenty of dive bars closer. Don't taint your evening by stuffing the pockets of a Trumper.
