“Ole ball and chain and I come here often and the service is always friendly and fun. Love the guys behind the bar. Had the monthly Soppressata and hot honey pizza and smoked wings…I’ll never be the same. It was delicious. A symphony of flavor and crunch. We are petitioning to keep it on the menu! TLDR; Everything is delicious, staff is awesome, and vibe is great. Come here or don’t, I don’t care as long as they feed me.”

“A laid back neighborhood bar offering a friendly casual atmosphere and some of the best wings in Chicago. You seat yourself which can be tricky since nights are often crowded with college students. Daily drink specials are offered. Menu selections include a variety of appetizers,salads,wraps,sandwiches,pizza and of course wings. We had to wait a little bit to find a table but as we looked around,everyone was having their wings. We ordered a pitcher of beer (Drink special of the day 12.00) and a basket of 20 wings with their own Birds Best Hot Sauce and an order of Cajun fries with cheese for dipping. Fries were not greasy but I wish the cheese sauce was warm and not cold. The wings had just the right amount of crisp and the sauce was not too hot ...just right! Good size and very meaty. They are the real deal! Plenty of street parking and an outdoor patio in the summer. If you want good wings in the city at a decent price,this is the place to go.”

“Have been going here regularly for about 5 years. I’ve been to many sushi restaurants, but this is the best restaurant in Chicagoland! The food is fresh and great quality. Sushi is delicious. Soup is delicious. Appetizers are delicious. Green tea ice cream is very good! It’s pricey, but worth it! The booth sitting is the best. Sometimes takes a long time for the waiter to come and food does take a little while, because they’re usually very busy. Definitely need to make a reservation”

“The tacos were pretty good. I had the carnitas. And the chips and salsa were excellent. But I really loved the pinto beans with bacon. The margaritas were also great. Be sure to save room for the warm butter cake. It’s delicious.”

“I love 14 Parish! Our host Taylor had such a positive spirit and energy. The drinks are amazing and they play R&B & Caribbean Music. The bartender Jakarri made amazing drinks.”

738 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60654, United States

“I just have to tell you about the most amazing dining experience I had last night in the heart of Chicago's vibrant River North neighborhood! I stumbled upon a hidden gem - a rustic, cozy, and welcoming restaurant that exudes warmth and charm. The owner, Bill, has poured his heart and soul into creating this space, and it shows in every detail. The food was simply divine, and the friendly, attentive, and professional hostesses and waitstaff made me feel right at home. But what really blew me away was the hospitality of Bill and his lovely wife - they treated me like a VIP guest in their own home. Just make sure to reserve your spot in advance - even the bar seats are in high demand here! And trust me, you won't want to miss out on the homemade desserts crafted by Bill's wife. This place is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience in the Windy City!”

“Great venue with some great beers! The outdoor beer garden looked so inviting, but I chose to sit closer to the taps. Had a great-tasting Spiteful Vienna Lager.”

3553 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60657, United States

“Stopped here on the way to a Bruce Springsteen concert at Wrigley Field. I ordered the brunch burger. The burger patty was a mixture of beef and chorizo - very tasty. I have this a 4 star review because the waitress was slow to take our order, my tots came out luke warm, and half our groups order came out 15 minutes after the others. The experience wasn't a total loss. I will give this place another chance next time I come to town.”

3937 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60613, United States

“We had dinner here during our visit to Chicago. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The server made us feel right at home and was so helpful in giving recommendations. I had the steak salad and taco soup and my husband had the carnitas sandwich, all were phenomenal. We had such a good time that we decided to stay and move over to the bar after dinner. Highly recommend and we will be visiting again!”

“Old style place however the food was average. I had the chicken parmigiana, the chicken was just a large chicken nugget, I’d avoid it. The chopped steak was alright, just a hamburger without the bun.”

34 S Main St, Mt Prospect, IL 60056, United States

“Came here with another couple on a Sunday during the Nascar event in Chicago. Our first time here and I'm looking forward to coming again. We ordered the Burger sliders which were fantastic. We also ordered the Bruschetta which was also delicious. I ordered the Spicy chicken sandwich which was great but a little too spicy for me. I'll order next time less spicy. The others ordered the Korean Short Rib tacos and the Shrimp Tacos. Great portions. Overall a great place to hangout with friends and family. Good vibes.”

322 E Illinois St STE 200, Chicago, IL 60611, United States

“Party of two arrived around 9pm on NYE. Place wasn't super crowded, we did not have to wait to play games. Good mix of games types. Great prices for game credits and costs of game play (some games as low as 3 credits). Waited about 15 minutes for food, it was good. Great wait staff behind the bar. Will come back!”

1141 Central Ave, Wilmette, IL 60091, United States

“Great family-friendly restaurant in the heart of Downtown Wilmette. We had the bbq pork sliders and the beef tenderloin sliders this time. Both were really good. They also have great sweet potato fries. I love their outdoor seating - perfect for people watching on a warm spring night. Service was great, and I love that I can pay the bill from my phone through the toast app.”

“Nice local Mexican Restaurant. Waiters were extremely kind and helpful. A+. The food was really good. I had 3 steak tacos + beans and rice plate. The horchatas were really good too! The environment is really pretty and nice. Must try!!”

“One of my favorite aspects of Bar Sótano is the service. Went in without doing much research and it went beyond my expectations. It is intimate, cozy, and even though it’s in a “basement” it did NOT feel claustrophobic. There were patrons celebrating a birthday, friends hanging out, couples being romantic, and some sitting at the bar just chatting. The food top-notch. Chef Jackie’s menu is excellent! Highly recommend the roasted bone marrow, oysters, paella, and of course either the flan or tres leches. Tequila and mezcal options are excellent. Try a flight of either on your first visit (or any visit). I lean more tequila and was happy Fortaleza is on the menu. Keep in mind that there is a mandatory 20% service charge regardless of party size. I think this is a great way to go and make sure staff isn’t “trying” for tips. Consequently making it a better experience for the patron and a better working environment for the staff. A win-win.”

“Nice bar with great food and service. They provided a complimentary FEAST for the bears game. Salad, sandwiches, and loaded nachos! It was amazing!”

1843 Glenview Rd, Glenview, IL 60025, United States

“If your from Glenview nothing is better than Glenview House; if you've not been in years it got a face-lift. A great date night option or a fantastic place to enjoy your time with your people. The drinks, apps, main dishes & desserts are an added bonus. Luke P was an absolute pleasure to have as our server. From the time I sat down Luke went out of his way to make sure our party had a pleasant time. Definitely ask for Luke & enjoy your time at Glenview House.”

“I booked the Saturday tour, and I was blown away. For $15, you'll hear about the rich history of the land, gang affiliations, prohibition, and the building itself, riddled with tunnels. Amazing! They bring you down underground and into the brewery itself. There's a phenomenal tasting at the end! I went with a group of devout Catholics that still enjoyed themselves lol. Great for everyone”
