“Went to Brinks the first time today. To enjoy a free Veteran's Day meal. My family came along. Everyone enjoyed their food. I really enjoyed my burger. Not just because it was free. It was cooked to perfection. Had just enough onions on it. And the sweet potato tots it came with were killer good. We will be going back. Thanks Brinks and staff.“

“Go for the best pizza stay for the fun.
Most places when you go out to dinner what do you do, you eat and you leave.

But not at Johnny's stay and watch all the games and enjoy the atmosphere, play a game of pool, throw a game of darts. You may even like to get up and dance while listening to the music.
It is also a great place to plan your parties.
And It is wheelchair accessible

So try the other restaurants but for me it's Johnny's“

“Since, we moved back last summer, this has been our favorite place to get food and drinks in the area. The two best bartenders in the area, taking care of me last night. Thanks Nick and Angelica for taking the time to talk music and life. Great food, great service, great vibes. So far WB is the winner of my burrito quest - to find the best Chicago style burrito. Also the place has good salads (according to Holly). Good wings too. Two pool tables and outdoor seating - you cant go wrong.“
