“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

Also had a pulled pork sandwich which was scrumptious, chicken Alfredo pasta quickly devoured by our daughter. Curly fries and sweet potato fries also 🔥! Our server, Rachel was great, too!“

“We have discovered this place 3 years ago when we are searching for an outdoor casual dining. What we found was a great place that had outdoor seating on a deck patio with umbrellas and a TV set to watch sporting events. The service was friendly, and the food was great. The drinks were very reasonable. The menu was large having everything from sandwiches to dinners. We never had a bad experience there and brought family and friends to enjoy the evening sitting outside. We always come back.“

“We were in Chicago from the Puyallup Wa area. We are always on the lookout for a great neighborhood bar, and this is it! We arrived at a bit of a lull and got a seat at the bar.
The waitress was great. She took care of us and the other guests were very friendly, even sharing their Trader Joe’s popcorn, and even bought us shots.
If you are in the area this bar is a must visit for a good hometown feel even when you are across the country!“

“Old school, shot and a beer, long time mainstay Bensenville tavern.“

“Cheers. This is a quintessential dive bar where everybody eventually knows your name. A good place to be alone or regale with friends. I’ve visited at least a half dozen times and the experience has been fine. Trish and the other bartenders have been attentive and quite friendly. I’ll be back time and time again.“

“Maria is a great bartender and never disappoints when it comes to drinks and prices“

“This dive bar is a breath of fresh air in a world of overpriced, trendy spots. Here, the beer is cold, the conversation flows easily, and the atmosphere is pure, unadulterated dive bar. No fancy cocktails to be found, just a solid selection of beers, including the newly added Yuengling on tap, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay all night. They also offer a few liquors for basic mixed drinks or for those who like to drink their liquor neat.“

“Uber eats messed up our order and Adam made good on it. Even gave us coupons!“

“The Cheeseburger on a Pretzel bun was very good and I would recommend it. I like their selection of German & Craft beers. I will be back at the Old Munich Tavern next Friday.“

“Absolutely love this place especially when Rosario is working, she is very friendly and very helpful. She is always making sure you have a drink or need anything. I really enjoy my time being there when she is there . She makes this place feel so much fun!“

“Wonderful place to have a meal. The Dunkley Burgers is awesome!“

“Stopped by for some drinks and I didn't want to leave. I wanted to start trying some of the fancy drinks that were being talked about. Needs a nice cocktail menu to showcase the specialties. Also the decor seemed interesting, but it was a little too dark to see what the bar looked like inside. Will return out of PURE curiosity and to either make it 5 stars or not.“

“Fun place to be very friendly and good music.“

“Great place to come and have conversation. Customers, drinks and food very enjoyable. Christine, makes you feel so welcome and makes you feel like family, always a hug coming and going. The people who work here, work hard. That’s the reason I shall Return Soon!!!!!!“
