   For once in my life, I ordered something other than a Hackneyburger - decided to splurge on a steak. Very tasty, and I'll enjoy the leftovers tonight.

   Waited to get waited on. Gave beverage order. Had to flag down someone to request our drinks. Rushed us to give order when we weren’t ready. Part of two orders included soup. Got soup after entree was brought. My half sandwich was on hard bread and my side of spinach was lukewarm and bland and tasteless. Waitperson checked on us once. She did bring our checks very quickly when we said no dessert or coffee. Very disappointing. Won’t return.

    It’s an awesome family restaurant. Period. We were there with three generations. All enjoyed. We had the Ruben and the corned beef on their dark rye bread. !!! Kids love the Mac n cheese and fingers Wonderful. The onion loaf a fan favorite. Waitress was prompt and genuinely happy to be there. Can’t wait to visit again.

    The night we were there at hackneys there was a band performing downstairs. This added to the problems. We were seated in a small room with a large party. It was very noisy. We had a 630pm reservation, but didn’t get the entrees until 750pm! People all around us were leaving because of the wait. The food was just barely warm. Not a good experience despite our drinks were comped.

    They were over crowded and understaffed. We sat for over 1 hour before getting our order taken and over 2 hours before getting our food. We complained and they did not seem concerned. We did not get our whole order, and did nothing to correct it. The food was cold and all they said was they were busy. I’ve been going there for 30+ years and NEVER had this experience. Just HORRIBLE

    I responded to the advertisement to listen to listen to Liverpool Acoustic Band. I made a reservation through meetup but when we arrived we were told that we could not get seated with the band. I was very disappointed ☹️. The restaurant shouldn’t take Reservations’s then not honor the request.

    The food is so bad now compared to a few years ago. Water glasses were filthy. Out of the French Dip and Guinness. The exact two things I wanted. Will never go back.

    Everything was fantastic. The fried mushrooms appetizer were the best we have ever enjoyed ANYWHERE! My only complaint would be if someone orders raw onions with an Italian Sausage sandwich … please chop them and loose the grilled onions! Great atmosphere and excellent service.

    The menu is mostly pub type food. They have large hamburgers, but I like the buffalo Berger. The deserts are good, we had Leprchaun pie which is an excellent ice cream pie. The beer selection is good but it leans toward Irish or English beers.

    We had a fantastic time celebrating my mother’s 85th birthday at Hackney’s on Lake. We started with the gold standard traditional onion, loaf and had a selection of burgers, salads and sandwiches. As always eating at Hackney’s is like eating with a super nice family with all of the benefits of not having to do the prep cooking and cleaning. Fantastic for three generations of our family.

    Overall it was a wonderful meal! We have come to Hackney’s many, many times. I made a reservation, so I expected that there would be advanced notice for a table of 7. Unfortunately, we were initially to be seated at a table that was not large enough. The dining room wasn’t filled, so we requested a different table and it worked out well. I had put on the reservation that it was a birthday meal. Our server was a little awkward suggesting birthday sundaes. That was slightly disappointing. However for the meal overall, she was great. Thank you.

    Seating for a disabled person was requested. We were given a table in the middle of the room. Three people at 3 different tables had to move to get the wheelchair to the table. Then the wheelchair stuck out a bit so the wait staff hit the chair every time they went by. Not enjoyable.

    My husband grew up Chicago and I heard stories of trips to Hackney’s before heading to the Bears game. So any trip back we look forward to a Hackneys burger and onion loaf to bring back those memories. Christmas time didn’t disappoint! The food and the ambience and service was amazing and the key lime pie was the best ever.
