Nueva Babylon: Old Time Religion Burger with portobello mushroom is THE Best Burger I've ever had - in addition, it's an awesome veg option (and I'm not even a vegetarian). Garlic Parm fries is a must to try, too!
Mike: Wow! Awesome beer selection, garlic parm and belly fries were fantastic, and the Gallows and Amazing Grace burgers were outstanding. And Keith (who I assume is the owner) is such a nice, friendly guy
Sabrina Recendez: I love ALL the burgers, the Polish and garlic parm fries, and spiked shakes!

Umair Hussain: Buffalo Chicken Wrap, Garlic Parmesan Fries, drinks including the Kale smoothie

Nathan Cooper: Kale banana smoothie. Unfried chicken
Sue Cowley: Excellent garlic Parmesan fries!
Josemiguel Davila: Awesome joint. Cool ambiance, a traditional Chicago pub with great music, awesome drinks and excellent ambiance.
Cole Kennedy: Saying that a sports bar has great nachos has to be the most abused superlative in restaurant history, but in this case, it's true. Get the chili nachos and be happy.

Kim Hedstrom: Absolutely fabulous...we did a lunch cruise and the food was awesome, salmon with garlic cheese mashed potatoes and vegetable, prepared so elegantly and the desserts were wonderful. Staff was awesome!
AskMen: Pro tip: The deck offers great views of the downtown fireworks that go off all summer on Wednesday nights. Read more.
David Benjamin: Service pretty terrible. Paid for an open bar, took them an hour to get the first drink to the table. Others around us looked like they were having a good time, so might have just been our bad luck.
Sara Spevack: We came on a Saturday and it was incredibly loud when he was playing all is instruments and the service was slow BUT the food is fantastic, the staff is delightful, and it was a fun time
Chicago magazine: When the urge for a few steins, a heaping platter of sausages, and crispy-skinned roast duck strikes, this Teutonic stalwart and its oompah band await. Read more.
Therese Kono: Simply the BEST! PROST!
Roslyn Redmond: The ribs, steaks, calamari. The dinner menu offers great choices. Lunch menu needs improvements. Very pleasant environment.
Carina Navarro: Very good food with good size portions that won't hurt your wallet. The desserts are awesome. I suggest the Captain Jacks Buried Treasure. It's big enough to share!
Bob DeGraff: Good fries and good service. The blackened chicken sandwich was a little mild on the flavor.
Amanda Cooper: Get the bacon, you'll thank me later! The shrimp are impressively large and my petite filet was perfectly cooked! Power lunch and date night dining!
Diego Reynoso: Great food everything from the steaks to the incredible smores desert (a must do)
Redeye Chicago: A steakhouse’s reason for being is typically the beef. But what you really want is the fried chicken. The crust glinted with salt and was adorned with candied orange zest and flecks of rosemary. Read more.
