So oily and greasy. Everywhere. Every entree. Didn’t finish a single thing nor did anyone in our party. Would not recommend bone marrow it was soaked in oil and so fatty and inedible after a bite or 2. Fries were also soaked in oil and not edible or enjoyable at all. Burger was also drenched in oil. As well as the buns drenched in oil from the burgers being cooked in so much oil. Crazy

Decent food and beer selection. Seating wasn't the best for watching sporting events. Half of the table had to turn 180° to watch the game.

I had a taste for a thick juicy burger. After much thought, I went to The Bad Apple for a late lunch. The burger I had hit the spot! It was exactly what I was craving. And bonus! The patio was open and I got to enjoy my burger outdoors! Service was great too!

Everything you could want in a burger joint. Busy, yet relaxed and casual atmosphere on a Friday night. Luckily they found a table for us immediately upon walking in. Staff was extremely accommodating for our meal.Cheese curds were excellent. The “pickled platter” is a unique appetizer to try as well. Was a hit at our table for sure.Burgers are the star of the show, and for good reason. I had “the fig is in” and it was divine. Beefy patties and quality ingredients. Definitely a burger I crave often, and one of the better ones you’ll find in town. The variety is impressive, and I’ll 100% be back to try more.

Great neighborhood bar/restaurant. Good selection of brews on tap and bottled. Burgers are awesome with an intriguing selection of salts/toppings for French fries. ? If you are in the mood for dessert, bring a friend because their ice cream cake can feed a group!

Good StuffThe BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad was a very good choice. The side order of Onion Rings was not wimpy little onion rings, but they were as big around as a baseball. My daughter had the Nada Burger with those good house cut fries. We both had more than we could eat at one setting. The service was excellent. Both waiters were courteous and pleasant to talk to.When we come back to Chicago for a Cubs/Cardinals game we will need to swing by again.Go Cardinals

I went on a Monday, idk if that makes any difference, but I was so disappointed in the flavor of the food. Taste was kind of bland and left me wanting to go eat some where else. Like my money was wasted unfortunately. Poutine was good, so i would really only recommend going there for poutine and a beer. I can’t recommend dining there.
