“Fun time with friends , drinks and food during happy hour is best“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“One of our favorite places to eat when we’re in Chicago. Love the atmosphere, food and cocktails. Will be back soon.“

“How could a bar cure my aversion to celery?!? I’m not sure, but it happened. I met a friend here, and after a fun couple of hours sampling the epic novel of a beer list, we went for the moule frites. I was mainly interested in the frites, especially when I saw the celery on the mussels. But I did try them, and their broth. The broth!! It was otherworldly. After a few bites, I realized the magic ingredient had to be the celery. And the rosemary, thyme, onion, and probably a beer brewed by the Belgian monks. Go here, people.“

“dope as food fire beer🔥🔥🔥“

“Nice place, wonderful burger and good bar selection. Totally disagree with the credit card surcharge, though - no restaurant with $20 burgers should charge guests the comission!“

“The best food !!!Thank you guy.“

“We rented the top part and watched it snow ... we were all there after our uncles funeral... This was his favorite restaurant...Wonderful food and our waiter was awesome ... Definitely will return“

“Phenomenal food. LOVE literally all their house made sauces, I tend to order extra sides of their sauces just because they are so good on a variety of things. Their southwest salad with the habanero ranch is godly ... Expensive as heck if you add chicken, but like .. everything is expensive right now so no qualms there. Service. .. hit or miss. Ive dined in 3 times and twice I got a female bartender who ... As a 14 year industry vet, I can tell she's checked out and doesn't care. Would never stop me from keep going back though. Good vibes (everyone except the female bartender Ive ran into twice), great food, and a great place to watch the games. If you're in Avondale and haven't checked this place out, YOU'RE missing out!! Sincerely, one of the best kitchens (non-high-end) in the city!“

“Fabulous as always A Chicago go to for me“

“Had the surf and turf and let me tell y'all, it was delicious. I feel bad, because I feel like I was kind of standoffish to the bartender (I had just woke up from a nap before I got there), because he was really nice and the service was top tier. Definitely going to stop here again.“

“Cozy neighbor bar experience. A very nice draft beer selection. Wednesday’s are 1/2 off wine bottles.“

“Very friendly atmosphere from the moment we walked in. Great local hangout in Roscoe Village. And amazing Wisco Cheese Curds!!“

“Food was awesome, service... Ehhh“

“Such a great experience having dinner and drinks this evening. They absolutely nailed GREAT customer service. The food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend.“

“I stopped by on a walk and decided to check this out prior to selecting a dinner spot for my trip in Chicago. Greeted with charm as I requested to just take a glance at the space. We ended up coming back around 7 pm for dinner and I have to say… it was a stellar choice. Willow was a delightful human to serve us. We picked a seat in the window, it was a romantic and cozy vibe. Low lighting, just perfect for a dinner with a friend. Shepards Nachos are a MUST. Beef Tips…a must. Get the cheesecake… Shoutout to Willow for being a wonderful person to be around during our trip. Excellent service. 👌👌👌 We will be back. 💚“

“First visit at Jackman & Co. and we will be back! The atmosphere and vibes of this place were great for a Friday night date night. Started with a couple Peachy Heat Margs at their iconic bar...would highly recommend arriving early to sit and enjoy the people and views here.

Dined outside on their dimly lit patio and started with the Lobster & Shrimp Ceviche which was fresh and delicious. Although there were a lot of other higher end dinner choices, I went with the Beer Battered Fish & Chips based on reviews. Easily the best fish & chips I've had, accompanied by an amazing dill dipping sauce.

The service from the host, bartender and ultimately our server was very accommodating and friendly. Check this place out!“

“Love it here! jade was an amazing server she was so outgoing and really brought the light to the room. She made the whole atmosphere of the bar better along with the rest of the staff. I highly recommend coming here if you’re in the area.“

“Absolutely amazing Korean food. The owner and the atmosphere are great. I had driven by this place countless times and had no idea that it was anything special -- it is.“

“Great burger! Good food!“

“Good ambience. Good food. Good service. My husband and I went there with another couple and were amazed with everything. We want to go again.“

“Stopped by for the Guinness but decided to have dinner as well. The shepherds pie and the castleisland baked onion soup were both delicious. The Guinness was great too. Our bartender was very friendly and service was excellent. We'll be back!“

“Some of the best food in the area! Great customer service, sometimes slow, but their friendliness and beyond delicious food make up for it.“

“The sign says established in 1932, and every time I've driven by, I think I need to stop in. I finally did, and am kicking myself for wasted time. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The large bar and restaurant seating is comfortable and spacious. There is a variety of beers on tap, served in well-frosted glasses. We sat at the bar and I had one of the best burgers I've ever had, served with homemade chips. It was so good that I almost returned with another companion the next day!“

“Try their chili! It is the best. Great atmosphere.“

“Please see our note to management:

To whom it may concern -

We live half a block away from your beautiful new restaurant and just wrapped up our first meal there. The food, the ambiance, and the service were impeccable. However, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge that our server made our entire night the most memorable dining experience we have ever had.

Lindsay E was prompt, knowledgeable, and, more importantly, extraordinarily personable. We were astounded at her aptitude for dealing with food allergies seamlessly, her timeliness to service and to our endless asks and needs, and her overall hospitality.

Thank you all for being so welcoming and for the incredible evening we had with you.

If you haven’t already considered, we feel Lindsay has a high potential in you restaurant group and we take a recommendation like that quite seriously.

We cannot wait for all of our future meals at your amazing establishment. Cheers to a long future for Foxtail Glenview House.

Most sincerely,
Colleen & Meghan Coleman“

“The perfect trifecta of amazing food, uncompromising service, and great value for an upscale and intimate restaurant in the North Shore area (Kenilworth, IL). Ask for Chick Evans and Rob when you arrive. Enjoy!“

“We held an 80 person event here and the coordinator Caryn was detailed, communicative and so nice! The waitstaff and bartenders, the food runners, and managers all helped to run a smooth luncheon, the busboy was attentive and kind! Everyone loved the event and the food and we already want to book again!“

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

“Service was a bit slow, but food was great!“

“Service 10/10. Loved Kerry’s energy! Kerry also had great tips on what to add to our Mac and cheese that definitely elevated it. Food was alright - not bad but not exceptional but it’s was what we needed after a long day out“

“I had an amazing time at FTW Arcade Bar! The atmosphere is perfect for a fun night out with friends. The arcade games are a blast, and the vibe is electric.

What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service from our bartender, Luke. He was not only super friendly but also knew how to make some killer cocktails! Luke was attentive, quick, and always had a great recommendation ready when we were unsure of what to try next. His energy added to the overall fun of the night, making our experience unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a great place to unwind with games, drinks, and top-notch service, FTW is the spot to be. Huge shoutout to Luke..he made our night! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Fun atmosphere & bar! Great food. Lots of tv’s…“

“Warm vibe with fast service“

“This is a fantastic new spot located at the Wilmette Public Golf Course ⛳️✨ The place has been completely renovated and looks fresh and modern, which really adds to the overall vibe 😍 The menu is thoughtfully put together by an experienced manager named John, and you can tell there’s a lot of care behind it 👍 The food is great, and they also offer an impressive selection of top-shelf spirits 🍸

It’s exciting that the menu is still evolving, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it develops over the summer ☀️ They’re planning an open-wall concept that will blend the indoor and outdoor spaces, along with a spacious patio where you can relax and enjoy drinks with friends 🍹 Definitely a place worth checking out!“
