37 Best Bar & Grill near Thornton

“Great food and fun!“

“They have the best cheeseburger in Chicago. I went there in 2012, and 2013 on Kedzie, and omg it’s the best. I used to live in Highland Indiana and I took public transportation which it was GPTC bus to Downtown Hammond, and pace bus from Downtown Hammond Indiana to Downtown Harvey Illinois, and pace 349 from Harvey Transportation Center to 111th and Western, and CTA Route #112 bus from 111th and Western to 111th and Kedzie. Well now since I finally move to Chicago Auburn Gresham with my fiancé, and now I live 15 minutes away. I take 79th Street bus from 79th and Ashland to 79th and Kedzie, and transfer to CTA Route #52A Southbound and go all way to 111th and Kedzie. I’m even more glad you guys reopened which I had no idea where you guys relocated at Thanks to my friend Tracy for telling me where it is. I went there with my fiancé Raymon. I’m so glad you guys are amazing, and the service was great too. I’ll be back. This place is even very affordable.“

“Pretty good menu. Lots of grilled cheeses and at first I was skeptical but it really is flavorful. My favorite monthly sandwich I wish could be turned into a standard sandwich is the cubano. Loaded tots are also very good.“

“It was a fun time I had a wonderful day“

“The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, providing a classic neighborhood feel that is perfect for gathering with friends or watching a game. The menu offers a great selection of hearty options, and the food consistently arrives well-prepared with bold flavors and generous portions. I was particularly impressed by the attentive service; the staff was quick to check in and ensured that everything was handled with a friendly and professional attitude. The facility is well-maintained and clean, with a layout that balances a high-energy bar environment with comfortable dining spaces. It is a reliable spot for a relaxed and satisfying meal, as the energy of the room makes for an enjoyable experience every time. The management clearly does a great job of maintaining a consistent standard of hospitality, making it a standout choice for anyone looking for great food in a casual, upbeat setting.“

“We had a great time great place great atmosphere“

“the Food was excellent and the onwers Jim and Rosie were great host's“

“Friendly and fun atmosphere. Great band line ups many times a week. Food is tasteful and highly recommended. Interior is a nice log cabin design and exceptionally decorated.“

“The tacos are small, authentic and delicious. Good enough for me to order two to go. Except they didnt make my to-go tacos the same. It had too much cheese. The host/bartender/waitress did not speak English and most of the food on the menu didnt exist. I wanted chicken quesadillas and she shook her head no. I wasn't sure if she didn't have chicken quesadillas or no quesadillas at all. I asked about other items on the menu and she smiled and frowned at the same time. So I ordered chicken tacos to simplify things. It took a lot to get her attention. She gravitated to the guys in my party. Little did she know, they weren't paying or tipping. The classic margarita with the red margarita salt was delicious. Lastly, there was a couple dinning at a table near by filming me and my friends. I'll be fine if I don't revisit this restaurant.“

“This was my first time to Natural Law. The food is amazing and the service was top notch“

“Always great food. I love their desserts. Yummy.“

“Had an amazing dinner!! Food was 12/10 Had the steak and lobster special and the poblano pasta.. don’t forget the molten cake for dessert. Every single bite was amazing!! Our server had way too many tables in her section. She was very rushed, but also had people around helping fill our drinks so kind of made up for it. We will be going back for the steak and lobster very soon.“

“This bar is a very nice GEM that has a great decor. The beers are ice cold and the drinks very refreshing. Taco Tuesdays are very tasty and the catfish dinner is Awesome. This is a very friendly bar with colorful characters. Watch the game from any seat or select a song from touch tunes and dance your cares away. Try you luck on the gaming machines or just have a couple of drinks with your buds.

“Great burger an fries great price an atmosphere!“

“Had the pleasure of hosting my first baby shower here a few weeks back, and despite the covid issues we were still able to pull off an amazing party! With the help of the owner Jessica! Everything was wonderful, plenty of space for guests to keep a social distance, bar option available, a nice stage and Dj booth for music. Everything was very clean and modern. Jessica even helped us get decorated and set up. I couldn't have asked for a better venue! Everything turned out beautifully! Thank you City Limits! We will definitely be returning soon“

“Well, if they cook your food properly, it's not bad... however, if they don't and you need to send it back to cook it (not a fan of raw burgers 🤷‍♀️) and it comes back the same way... be prepared to not eat and pay for the meal anyway. I asked for it to be removed from our bill (over $100 total so not just a couple things) and they removed it after a small "fight" but literally charged us for a basket of fries cuz I ate a few fries off my plate, I guess. they don't take care of their mistakes nor do they care to make things right. Lost future business, everyone at the table was shocked.“

“Nice bar to go to, good people go in there. Lately I've been noticing the bartenders don't want to do their job, want to hang out with their friends and not cater to customers. Very unfriendly, act like you're a problem if you aren't a everyday customer/friend. I hate having to wave down a bartender to get my drink, this isn't your clubhouse...it's your job! smh!“

“It was a cool little spot“

“Definitely a very homey place. Love the people on both sides of the bar!!!“

“huge shout out to Brittany. thank you for the hospitality and a warm welcome she truly made me feel like I was at my home bar while visiting, beers were ice cold and she was always prompts with a smile on her face not to mention with the recommendation of the BLT which was one of the best BLT's I've ever found next time I'm in town I will definitely be stopping by once again for another round“

“shout out to jen and her “special drink” the bar and staff were super friendly , security was the nicest guy in the world. first time here and i can definitely say id come back in a heartbeat !!!! :))))))“

“It's always a pleasure to go to Old Town the white people treat you so good down there the food is great the drinks is a reasonable price it won't hurt your pocket so I try my best stay away from black owned club because black owned club black owned places are too high and too expensive they hurt black people pocket so old town is the place to go I'm keeping all this 100 💯“

“Johns is a friendly, always reliable, brunch, lunch or dinner with good food, amazing desserts….(try the skillet cookie), and great service!“

“The Tin never disappoints! Great atmosphere and the bartenders are some of the best around. Try the burgers and the pizza! Perfect spot to catch up with friends and watch a game. Great for pool players!“

“not sure but seems like they sold to someone else. service sucked Bought a 4 piece chicken wing get one free meal and 2 chicken breast meal and 2 pops. 40 dollars. The coleslaw tasted spoiled. never again..“

“sorry for mispelling Audrey YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!! Loved the layout, still some interior designing needed but GREAT JOB OVERALL. very hidden GEM in Hammond. I highly recommend the nachos & Turkey club. Draft beer and mixed drinks were to perfection. first time we went there and YES THIS SPOT IS AWESOME.!“

“catch it on a night I. the middle of the week, good food for quick bite and nice place together a drink with friends“

“Spanky’s is a solid spot overall and definitely worth a visit. I’d give it a strong 4 out of 5.
The drinks were the highlight—well made, consistent, and exactly what you want when you’re out for a good time. The atmosphere also stood out in a good way. It had a lively, comfortable vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening without feeling too crowded or overwhelming.
Service was another positive. Attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a timely manner. You could tell they were on top of things, which always makes a difference.
Food was a bit more middle-of-the-road. We tried the jalapeño poppers, and while they were decent, they didn’t quite stand out compared to everything else. Not bad by any means, just not the star of the show.
All in all, Spanky’s delivers where it counts—great drinks, good service, and a fun atmosphere. If you go in expecting a bar-first experience with solid food on the side, you’ll leave happy.“

“My family and I have been eating here for over a decade and the food has always been amazing. The hot wings are their specialty but they also offer a great variety of other foods. The people are always friendly and the food is always prepared on time.“

“Good vibes. Good blend between Retro and new age vibes. The music is lively. The service is excellent.

Parking: Lots of parking across the street - the parking lot is a bit bumpy but it's free and there is plenty of space“
