Been several times and will return, will know what not to order! Grilled chicken was thick and dry- pretzel bun dry also. Server was great and always love the atmosphere here.

This place is the best local ‘place’.. literally a place for anyone and everyone. Been there twice and hospitality I received from the bartender/host was kind and warm. I am still exploring the menu ?, but love the ‘hot toddy’. You feel warm and fuzzy after one but 2 just makes me smile. Finally found my go-to ?

First time at Chief's Pub. I'm not really a sports fan, although I do jump on the bandwagon if there's a large event. Not sure why there were so many people in here on a Monday night, some college hoops from small schools, Daytona 500 on the big screens, until we were leaving and all the jumbo screens turned to the Hawks and the noise level noticeably increased. Decent selection of bar food offerings, sandwiches, burgers and wraps. We split the loaded tots and that was really good--it was certainly loaded with toppings--cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and bacon (maybe cilantro). I ordered the mini sliders -- there were three of these but I could only finish one -- and I would definitely split these if I came back. My friend had a black and blue salad and they said the steak was good. There's nothing fancy here and that's ok. Sports banners and memorabilia abounds, half of the room is the bar area with high tops and there's a divider and on the other side are tables and booths. The patrons were split between those congregating at the bar and families and couples at the low tops digging in. Staff, servers, host---everyone was pretty friendly and lowkey.

We happened to be near the Lake Forrest area on a Saturday afternoon. We decided to stop here for some small bites. Honestly not too many appetizer options. My daughter ordered their 3 Alarm Burger substitute with beyond patty. My wife and I shared their Nachos. And I of course have to have a Zombie Dust, probably the best beer these days. My daughter enjoyed her burger with fresh jalapeños and spicy sauce. The nachos were over powering with their cheese sauce which was too salty. I had to pass after few bites. The service was great! They checked up on is several times, the young lady who was also training was helpful and brought a great attitude.

The place looks nice, but everything else was not good. Great location plenty of parking those are the 2 good things about this place. First, our sever was not good she was not friendly at all, brought our drinks(3 waters and 1 Pepsi) with appetizer ( chips and salsa) almost 25 mins after we ordered and then our two burgers came out 5 mins after the appetizer. Second the Food was terrible we got the joes burger could’ve had a better burger at Burger King. Seriously the secret sauce is mayonnaise. Third it was very very loud, I get it’s a pub but not a nightclub. The noise didn’t bother me too much but annoying. Would not go there ever again so disappointed.

This is pub of my choice for seeing sports on TV. The drinks, food, atmosphere are the best it could be for what this is. This was a life saver watching World Cup Soccer. Thank you Chiefs for existing and for all the good times!
