Really cute place and good drinks but food is not good and the waitress couldn’t care less about us. Will not be coming back mainly because of the service.

Disappointing Night at The Monkey's Paw
Had a bit of a letdown at The Monkey's Paw last night. The service was far from attentive - it felt like we were forgotten about at times.
The food itself was just okay, bordering on underwhelming. It seemed like a lot of it might have been pre-made or pre-packaged.
We tried a variety of dishes - the wedge salad, Brussels sprouts, fried pickles, and meatballs. None of them were bad, but none were particularly good either. Nothing really stood out or felt fresh-made.
Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it definitely wasn't worth returning for. There are so many other great restaurants in Chicago with better service and more exciting food options. I'd skip The Monkey's Paw and try somewhere else.
This was my first time here. Came with my family, hubby and kids. They have really great appetizers (imo) and our server made me an xtra dirty martini w/xtra olives and I was so happy they did that!
I hope to come back soon. I did enjoy myself very much. The atmosphere is chill, the servers are attentive, specific and open to giving the best experience possible.
I wish I could be there every weekend, but I’m busy. OH!!! And did I mention it’s called, The Monkey’s Paw! ?

Delicious food served by friendly staff. The signature meatball sub is phenomenal. Played great throwback songs as well. Great place for casual dinner with family or friends

We've lived about a quarter mile away from here for 5 years and finally decided to try it out. First off- super cute inside! We were in the back in a cozy little area. The ambiance was good (at least where we were sitting). My fiancé and I shared the Mac n cheese. It was a little too "panko-y" for us but otherwise really good. We both had the chicken sandwich and fries too and the sandwich was one of the best I've had in Chicago! The coleslaw was a spicy mayo base which isn't for my taste buds but otherwise- really good! Service was great too. Definitely check them out. We look forward to coming back for brunch

Pet friendly on the outdoor patio. The server could not have been more kind. The staff all came out to great our dog. The food was really good. The manager was also really kind. We will go back!
