“Fun times, good people, drama free.“

“Great place to gather with friends and family! I love their wings and my husband enjoys their pizza and onion rings. Definitely a local staple!“

“We stopped in for brunch on the recommendation of our son, who said he’d heard good things about the Wolfhound. He was right! Great food and atmosphere and the owner is a great guy!“

“A must see if you go to Chicago. Burgers are the best in the city. Great vibes.“

“Food was good! Super chill vibe. Love that you can substitute fries for a salad at no charge. Def will be coming back here! Great burger.

Update: second time here, server was extremely rude and kept rolling his eyes. Still tipped 20% but it was not welcoming“

“Kristi.n at Uncle John’s is the best! We love coming here., especially for Bears games!!“

“I came here today on my lunch break to grab a burger. Let’s start off by saying the gentleman behind the bar was so kind as soon as walked in the door. The vibe was great! I’ll definitely be back soon when I’m not working to grab a bite and a drink inside.

So the food was great!!!!“

“The interior of the building is gorgeous. I would gladly come in here for just a drink, but the food is worth coming in for too. Shepard's pie was delicious. Took some home, heated it up, and it was great as leftovers. I need to come back for their special events.“

“Great food, nice cozy feeling (almost like a dive bar but without the dingy shady vibes) and if you get Joseph as your server you’ll have a great night (the other servers are nice too!). He is really friendly and he was super patient helping me pick out a drink! The Amish chicken is highly recommended and one plate can easily feed two (my partner and I split it so our check was even cheaper!).“

“Fantastic food, wide assortment of drinks, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent ambience. One of my favorite places in the city.“

“This family run business is something special, the food is amazing, the atmosphere relaxed and the drinks delicious. It's The sort of place that becomes a go to for any and all occasion. Also we special-ordered a cake and it was the BEST Cake I have ever had.“

“Food was delicious, wish they would’ve offered a box for the rest of my fries though instead of tossing them. Would like to come back again to try more of their burgers“

“The Vegan Birria Tacos (hibiscus flowers, spicy dipping sauce, vegan cheese, cilantro, onion, elote salad) are excellent. There were some very interesting flavors, the tacos have amazing variances in texture and a variety of flavors in a bite sweet, sour, tangy and just a little bit of heat. Great rotating draft beer options. The decor is very interesting with a huge dragon artwork on the ceiling in the bar area. I can wait to come back.“

“We loved the place & the food. Wish I had felt like a drink😊Welcoming!“

“We had a wonderful time going for the first time for a friend’s birthday. Our server Micky was so friendly and accommodating! The owner generously comped some drinks for us as first time customers. The plantains with the onion-forward dipping sauce were phenomenal. The Brussels sprouts had a lovely balsamic glaze topped with creamy goat cheese. Several of us ordered burgers with side salads, and the greens were of high quality. The standard vinaigrette offered was a wonderful blend of tangy and subtlety sweet. The smash burger patties were cooked well with crisp edges while maintaining a juicy interior. The garlic parm fries had a crisp exterior and fluffy texture. Everything was phenomenal, and Micky even helped us with the cake our friend made and brought. Do yourself a favor and come check this spot out!“

“The people were the BEST!! We are truck drivers hanging around town going to a Chicago Cubs game the next day. We were watching the 2nd game on TV and the lady serving us was sooooo nice and and helpful. We chatted while my husband watched the game. Such a cute friendly hang out ind of place. I hope to be back to visit again! I highly recommend this place to chill and watch sports and grab a bite.“

“Caraway’s Bar & Grill is such a hidden gem! It’s a family-owned bar and grill and you can truly feel that warm, welcoming energy the moment you walk in. The owners are incredibly inviting and friendly!
The atmosphere is great. The food was amazing. The hot honey flatbread was our favorite we almost ordered two! And the poutine? So good. The brown gravy they put on the fries was delish.
We went on Monday they had drink specials so we had gotten $9 margarita, I tried the cucumber jalapeño margarita and it was SO good, the perfect mix of refreshing and spicy.
It was also such a nice touch that the chef came out and introduced himself. You can tell they genuinely care about their food and their guests.
Highly recommend checking this place out, we’ll definitely be back, especially in the summer when they open up the large windows for that perfect warm vibe!“

“We really enjoy the food plus the prices are very reasniable . We have tried almost everything on the menu and have enjoyed it all. Blake is an excellent bartender and host who makes you feel at home. He has a friendly personality and always has a smile on his face. Megan is a wonderful waitress who is friendly and outgoing. Best of all she makes us feel special because she always remembers what we like best. The owner (Roger) is a great person and always greets us with a big smile. He makes us feel like we are always welcome. We highly recommend BJ's for a nice evening out I'd you are in the Oak Lawn area. joel/Roy“

“great tacos! awesome beer listing. terrific ahi tuna bahn mi sandwich! wonderful owners and servers.“

“I attended a Private Retirement party here and it was amazing from beginning to end! This neighborhood gem had plenty of seating, great food, great service and the drinks were top shelf!

The DJ was AMAZING and the sound quality was spot on. There were board games, Jenga and everyone had an amazing time. The host put her spin on it with the decorations and photo booth but the owners really made you feel WELCOME!“

“We held a celebration of life for my brother here today. About 50 in attendance in the stylish, comfortable upstairs area. Despite the fact that I planned this from 400 miles away and without having ever seen the venue, it went off without a hitch due to Mr. David Candiotti and his staff. No surprises. Everything was as promised. The venue is extremely stylish and rustic. Food was delicious and plentiful as were the drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly thanks to Mona, Alberto and Olena. I highly recommend.“

“Had a great time here celebrating my 50th bday!“

“My band just played there. Great place for music food and drinks. Super friendly staff. 💯 recommended, add it to your list of watering holes 🍻“

“Social Junkie is one the top 3 best bars in the dunning area. I’ve been coming here since they rebranded and it’s always been a fun time! Great drink selections and their food is outstanding. I’ve tried a couple of different items from their menu over the years and I recently got their Parma burger and fries. They were both delightful and it’s one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. I can’t explain it, but the taste was so unique and also very affordable compared to other bar and grills in the city. It’s a worth a visit when you are in the dunning area!“

“Visiting from out of state and was googling places nearby that we could eat after we landed, and stumbled upon this place. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and unique, and our server was incredible. The music swaps between 80's, 2000's, all sorts of genres, which was greatly appreciated. Almost wished I lived here just so I could make this spot a regular of mine!“

“A big thank you to both our waitresses/bartenders and the chef cooking up the most amazing Friday fish Fry and oysters Rockefeller. Everything from food, drinks, and service were above and beyond. We will definitely return to check out the rest of the menu.“

“Great local spot. Good atmosphere and great staff 👍“

“A great addition to Oak Lawn. Chill weekend spot with live music and great tasting mixed drinks. Vibe is good for middle age people like me and hubby. But I have yet to try their food“

“Excellent authentic food and service! We hosted a small party recently and I cannot express enough gratitude for the amazing service and food quality. We will definitely be returning!“

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“I came from San Francisco to visit a friend and was interested in trying out a cozy neighborhood pub. This place gave me 'Cheers' vibes (loved the banter between the patrons and the proprietor) we got the BLT which was super tasty. Non-pretentious, good food-drinks + relaxed ambiance…just what we were searching for!“

“My wife and I ate here on a whim and had the best time! Zero complaints about the service or food. Whenever we're back in town, they'll be high on our list to revisit.“

“I LOVE this place cuz it my neighborhood bar but the new hires are charging tooooo much for one drink in a lil PLASTIC cup . It’s not busy like before & I think that’s why. When I started going both sides were jumping the drinks were on point and affordable but now it’s that one side and it’s a lil dead & a lot of times closed! 😒 I don’t know want this place to die out like every other place . Fix it ? ❤️ $38 for 2 drinks ,plastic cups & not even half way full . I got money but that’s ridiculous ! Js.“
