“Jay and his team are fantastic! This is absolutely one of the nicest bars in the neighborhood, and deserves recognition. We have had our company party here since they opened, and we have not changed venues as it is the best place to book your party!“
“I have been here a few times and always had great, friendly service. They have a huge menu that the variety to suit early anyone, including my vegetarian daughter. It all sounds delicious. I haven't had a bad order yet. And their beer selection is pretty broad as well and very competitively priced.“

Here, in this haven on Waukegan Road, you will find more than just a meal or a drink—you will find a piece of home.“
“Got a drink here on Saturday night and there was more than enough space for us! I liked how we got to decide if we wanted to sit on the quiet side or the bar side. The signature mule was amazing and my partners drink was made exactly to his liking.“
“Do yourself a favor and grab some friends for karaoke and Korean food at AGIT. A group of us went on a Saturday night and we had a karaoke room for 2hrs. Depending on the size of your group they may add a few chairs in so everyone can fit. Once you're in your room you can start with the karaoke session and in the corner of the TV tells you how much time you have left of your session. They also have instructions on the wall for how to use the remote to choose songs and how to use the control. You can press a button and a staff member will come and wait on you. We ordered a handful of stuff to share family style. We had the bulgogi, fried chicken, seafood pancake, tteokbokk. There was plenty of food to go around and everything I ate was enjoyable. It was so much fun being in a private room and eating delicious food. I wish they would have had plates instead of the paper boats because you can't fit much in the boat and maybe some serving untensils for the dishes. But minor things I could look past. They are located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking avaliable.“
“A Chicago-style 'beer before' and 'beer and a shot' after work drinking establishment. Wonderfully unpretentious with excellent bartenders. We spent most of our time drinking, so no complaints on the price. Washrooms could use a little more attention, but not a deal breaker.“
“After driving home from a long day, I stopped by for a beer after work. I’ve never been there before and I was just frustrated from traffic. So I stepped inside for an hour. Music was great, sports on TV, drinks were affordable. I would definitely go back!!“
“Great bar! Like a REAL bar, where you can grab a beer and a shot, talk Chicago sports and neighborhood with Regulars, helmed by a great bartender, Ken. Bonus Points... having an incredible name (Bringer Inn, love that) and being right next door to, arguably, Chicago's BEST Deep Dish pizza.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gotti's Cucina Bar and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The service provided by the staff was top-notch, they were attentive, friendly, and made me feel very welcomed.Now, let's talk about the wings - they were absolutely fire! The flavors were bursting in every bite and the perfect balance of spice and tanginess left me wanting more. I can confidently say that Gotti's Cucina Bar serves some of the best wings I have ever tasted.The atmosphere of the restaurant was also amazing. The ambiance was cozy yet vibrant, and it created the perfect setting for a great meal with friends or family. The overall vibe was energetic and inviting, making it a place you would want to visit again and again.I highly recommend Gotti's Cucina Bar to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. The service, wings, and atmosphere all exceeded my expectations. You won't be disappointed!!!!“
“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.“
“Tasty flavorful burger and some of the best fries I've had. Homemade, hot and crunchy right out of the fryer. Dinner with several drinks for two was like $50, so very affordable. I will be back and can't wait for warm weather to try out the beer garden.“
“My OG go to. It's not a great place for a beer selection, so don't come here for that, but the food is good, and the staff are great, very attentive and very friendly. There are some good deals like the 20 taco tray. I love the Birilla de Borrego. Latin music is lit, and it's a very comfortable vibe.“
“Hubby and I loved this place! Ashlee is a great bartender and makes your experience most memorable! The food is great and the drinks are superb! Had a great time with the regular patrons, they made us feel very welcome and glad we stopped by. Cheers!?“
“Wanted something different for lunch and went to Tommy’s and was pleasantly surprised. When you walk in the bar is right there and the dinning area was in the back along with gaming.Darlene was the server/bartender and was pleasant and helpful with the menu making food suggestions.Pizza was half off! Philly steak was very good. Fries were mushy and oily.Beer selection was decent and wall decor was entertaining!Great place for a burger and brew!“
“I had had a day and decided to stop into this bar to have a drink under some sun. Wasn’t sure what exactly I wanted and told the bartender Hannah to give me something fruity. She said I got you and made me an absolutely delicious vodka with other mixes drink. It was exactly what I needed. The drink was just as refreshing as being able to walk into a place distraught and be immediately met with comfort and a kind engaging personality. She definitely makes this bar what it is and I will be returning on her next shift.“
“Frankie was the absolute best. She was so funny and kept the drinks coming. It is so hard to find someone so charming and caring now a days. Filoneks really hit the jackpot with her. Did not hurt she was so beautiful as well. Definitely will be back“
“Vegetarian options: Just ask for some vegetarian options and they can make items without ingredients with most dishes.Parking: Parking in lot on street and also have parking across the lot believe it's 4 hours during day and no problem at night. IWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and one floor level no stairs.“
“Such great food! What a great atmosphere! They are very simple and they let you customize what you like. I got a burger and some fries and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. I got a root beer in a bottle and that was good too. I'll definitely be coming back.“
“Traveling for work and I found a diamond! Shay has amazing customer service, a friendly smile and a sparkling personality! The food was delicious, one of the best cheese& bacon pizzas I've had ! Drinks were flavorful and cheesecake dessert with strawberry topping hit the spot! Ill be back on my next trip <3 thank you!“
“Today is Feb. 19th. 2021. 4 of us went to Eddie's for the famous fish fry. It was truly excellent. And the tartar sauce is brilliantly different. What impressed me the most is the social distancing that's happening inside at the tables. I was concerned however they did a great job and kept well within the state's/towns guidelines. This was my first time eating in a restaurant since the pandemic started almost a year ago. It was a special occasion and I'll stay home again/carry out for the time being but I was satisfied with everything tonight. Service 5/5 Fish 5/5 Shrimp Dinner 5/5 Social distancing 5/5“
“Basic sports bar. It's located in Norridge not close to anything interesting. Newbe's actually is pretty good to be honest, much better than expected for sure. Has the basic drinks and food. There's also gaming. A few way to keep entertained. It has video poker and slots. There was one woman who never moved from the one slot machine the entire time. As for the rest of the stuff, it has pretty average drinks and food. It's about $6 for wells. Basic liquor selection. The food is mostly fried and greasy things. About $3 for fried appetizers. The rest of the menu is meaty stuff. Good stuff as far as entertainment. It has slots. There's not that much else interesting but it's a nice neighborhood hangout if you're around it though.“
“I cannot believe that no reviews or comments have been made about this business! They have great servers/bartenders! They have beanbag tournaments during nice weather months. Their food is outstanding! I had one of THE BEST corned beef sandwich on St Patrick's Day I've ever had! They have video gambling, which is fine if that's your thing. Outdoor bar is nice during warmer weather! Parking is enough for their size. It's unique inside with authentic plane parts, including helicopter landing gear for the bars kick plate. Jimmy the owner is very friendly and will buy you a drink/shot when he's there and his son, Chase, is a fabulous cook! Conveniently located minutes from O'Hare airport!“
“Me and my friends were looking for a last min place! When I tell you we found a freaking gem! Gabby was amazing she sent us shots called chocolate cake!!!!! She literally told us it would be a science experience in our mouth … when I tell you it didn’t disappoint at all!!! We will be back everytime …. A gem I tell you :) thank you for welcoming us with open arms and taking care of me and my friends… forever customers on this Thursdays night“
“Friendly Bartenders and amazing drinks is why we come back. Our 3rd visit was welcoming and friendly. The hot honey wings is our favorite as as the sweet hot chili flavor. Bartender went and checked on the guests out in the patio. Felt taken care of. Good job guys!“
“Love this place, the food is A+. Everything is fresh, bathroom very clean, Sophia, Brad, and Leo make an awesome team. Always at there best and so attentive to us customers. Definitely would recommend visiting Caps for lunch, dinner and drink!!!“
“I didn't read the reviews beforehand, probably wouldn't have tried it. We walked in, the A/C was out so we decided to eat outside (also because the place had that carpet soaked whiskey aroma). There was only another couple in the place too. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and paired it with a Dos Equis. I started to read the reviews and then got nervous with all the 1 stars. The sandwich arrived and all the bad reviews went out the window. This was a really good Cuban! No deli sliced ham, it was a good chunk of ham in a delicious well pressed bread. The fries were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and light and fluffy inside. 5 stars for the food, 3 stars for the atmosphere.“
“I dined here for the first time tonight and had a bartender named Kerry serve me. Kerry was a beautiful perfect princess and the most wonderful angel that ever lived. I had the sliders with chipotle ranch dipping sauce and several beers. It was a truly perfect experience. Kerry should be given a raise and receive lots and lots of unending praise. Thank you TWood!“
“I was so pleased with the Local Bar and Grill. To see it when you first come in, it looks like a big bar. And it is with so much more. Their dining area became filled with people also enjoying the evening. I was with a party of six and we each ordered different entrees and appetizers. I had a piece of a margarita pizza and cauliflower in a lovely breading with a delicious sauce for appetizer and a prime rib sandwich with superb au jus for dipping. Others had the Greek chicken, also scrumptious, the salads were crispy and plentiful. All and all our dinner and evening at the Local Bar and Grill was delightful. This was on a Saturday night so we also enjoyed live music, Sam Savage and Michelle. I look forward to going back and trying some others of their menu. The wait staff was knowledgeable and very friendly, giving us suggestions from the menu. Their mixologists, bar tenders are very professional as well. Go and enjoy!Parking: Parking is free and it's all around the restaurant“
“Great atmosphere, the staff are friendly, welcoming and engaging. I'll go back just for the customer service. I had their wings and they were very good. I'm definitely trying something different next time. Can't wait to come back.“
“Stopped in for lunch, though me and a coworker were the only guests we felt very comfortable and the bartender/waitress was very friendly. While the menu is not very large I asked if they had lengua, they did not. But the bartender offered a dish that was made for the staff, she called it Trumpbo? Translates to mouth of pig? Im sure im butchering this.. but my GOD.. it was some of the most delicious tender pork I have ever had. Not gamey/barnyard at all. Prepared just excellent.. can't describe it well enough do it justice. Their chef is a master.. if your lucky enough ask for it next time your in, they dont have it all the time but hopefully you can get lucky and enjoy what the cook/staff enjoy.. i felt very fortunate to be able to enjoy this treat from the kitchen. Thank you Dos Diablos! I will definitely be back when in the area.“
“Went to see Duck and Cover. Phenomenal band, they honor and acknowledge veterans. The lead singer comes down to the dance floor with people 5 and used audience members in his songs. We had a great time and will look to see them again. Of course, the broasted chicken is just the best.“
“In the age of “trendy dive bars”, Social Junkie still holds on to the old school of a bar:Good drinks, good food, good music and some bar games. Everything is very well priced, in fact it might even be cheap by city prices.Staff are friendly and engaging.Parking: Parking right outside the venue. No charge.Wheelchair accessibility: Venue offers wheelchair access throughout.“
“Went there for my 60th birthday and 3 days later for a blue cheese burger. Fantastic service and food. Only issue is they need to add some lower tables to bar area for people with disabilities that can't get onto bar stools. Will definitely be going back.Wheelchair accessibility: Hard to get through bar area with a walker because so many people are standing around visiting each other.“
“My husband and I have been coming here for years. The owners, Chris and Nikki and the bartender, Monica are always welcoming and take good care of us. Nice atmosphere, good company, lots of tvs if you want to watch the game, great music playing in the background. The food is always very good and freshly made. Some of our favorites are the chicken kabobs, the Jerry's Special, and the burgers, which are excellent! Half price martinis on Wednesdays with a long list of options to choose from. We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday there and they were very accommodating and everyone had a great time!“
