Rand Road House is the kind of spot that makes you feel like a regular the first time you walk in. It has that classic Midwest tavern charm—dim lighting, neon beer signs, and a friendly buzz of conversation that tells you people don’t just come here to eat, they come to relax. The menu is full of hearty comfort food, and my burger came out perfectly charred on the outside and juicy inside, piled high with fresh toppings. The fries were crispy, the kind you can’t stop picking at even when you’re full. What really stood out was the atmosphere—music playing just loud enough to set the tone, TVs with the game on, and staff who greet you like they’ve known you for years. It’s the type of place where you can grab a drink, enjoy a great meal, and unwind without any pretense. Rand Road House isn’t trying to be fancy—it’s just real, welcoming, and consistently good.

Rand Road House delivers fresh hot food and ice cold brews. Stopped in for lunch while waiting for my vehicle to finish across the street. I came just in time for 1/2 Price Burger Tuesday. Ordered a 1/2 pound burger with lettuce, tomato, onions and cheese and boy was it delicious, The patty was cooked exactly as requested medium rare and-just fabulous. Nothing could be better than an ice cold beer and the bottled Old Style was great! Bar staff was attentive and friendly... Rand Road House is a bar without much fanfare and looking forward to a return to try out the ribs with fries.

Very chill & comfortable atmosphere. Great service.
Great bar atmosphere, really good food, the pizza is good too. Friendly bartenders. I've been told the building is over 100 years old. It doesn't look that way on the inside though. Lots of tv's and music too.
Pour a good drink there. Good bar food. Fun staff.

Got burger and a beer. $24. Fries were just regular krinkle fries and nothing special, they did give you a lot though. The burger was decent, but I asked if they had cheddar and she said yes, but came with American. Yuk. The bartender was nice and attentive though.

Every bar has a gimmick. Nowadays a lot of them getting too gimmicky. Not this place no gimmick. Hard to find in Chicago.Tried to drink all of their $4 tall boy PBR. The chicken quesadilla, how I got me and my coworker home. If I wasn’t in town on business I would’ve drank all their $4 tall boy PBR.In all seriousness, was told they were under new management. Obviously it’s working. Staff was entertaining, locals were non stop entertainment, food was crème de la crème of bar food.

First. I happened to be lucky enough to have the rare (as i was told at least) rib special. The fact that those ribs were the best i ever had blows my mind. Our bartender was extremely nice to a fault. Carded ok. Do your due diligence. I ordered a beer and 2 well tequila shots. I was served a shot while my wife got her id from the car. She was served a fireball shot by mistake then a shot of tequila. After me having one shot and a freshly cracked beer and the wife a shot of weak fireball and 1 tequila she refused to give us more drinks untill after our food. I do understand the responsibility of a bartender but this was just too much. We had realistically 1 shot each because how can you count fireball. It made us very uncomfortable and judged and as a result were weary of ordering any more alcohol. While i appreciate the responsibility of the barkeep that was just too much. I felt trapped in a youtube video of "that vegan teacher" it was weird
Good place !
