BBQ slab was ridiculously tender - loved it May be a tad sweet for some palates, not for me. Do Not Leave without getting the fried pickles - killer crust. Mac ‘n Cheese left something to be desired. Definitely a Go Back next time I am in Chicago thanks

Meh. Service was slow, but the waiter seemed pretty busy so maybe not his fault. Food was okay. My husband's ribs were fatty with very little meat so he didn't finish them. Pulled pork was good but it's a small portion for the price. Took forever to get our bill and leave. Wouldn't go back.

The wings are delicious and big - I love it! ❤️ I do recommend to check their website for updates to the menu and alcohol - they have wings of the month of burgers of the month. 😊 Thank you for almost 10 years of delicious food!

The food was bland with no flavor (burger, turkey burger, and fries). The server was seen sneezing while having his coffee and he did not wash his hands afterwards. The wings were good, but overall everything was overpriced. This was our 2nd time visiting this restaurant and we will not be going back.

My boyfriend and I dined here on 05/27/23 for a late lunch. We shared the Buffalo cauliflower, I had the Buffalo chicken perfect size salad, and he had the Brisket plate. The cauliflower was lightly breaded and had a good amount of heat although it was the lowest heat level, I added the cauliflower we didn’t finish to my salad and it complemented it well. My salad had plenty of crunchy veggies, nicely seasoned chicken, and a good amount of dressing. I would have preferred the dressing on the side, but I forgot to ask. My boyfriend liked his brisket as well. We would come back again - next time for the chicken wings! :-)

Great ambience sitting by the fireplace on a cold night. Wings were good, Buffalo cauliflower was fantastic. Prices were decent. Services was just ok. Long wait for server to greet table. No silverware brought with food (another 5 min wait, I got them myself) Waited for water for 10 min (it's a wing joint, never enough water/napkins). Server never checked back after meal served, she was just not attentive. Overall, give it a try. I would not say these are the best wings I ever had, but they are a solid B.

Food was great as always Unfortunately we were attending to watch college basketball national championship and while I can understand closing kitchen early, closing the bar at halftime of the game is inexcusable- especially for a place advertising March madness the last several weeks. Also took a long time to put the game on and sound on. Will reconsider dining in here in future for a big game

Rough service experience but she worked to recover. Appreciated her substituting another beer after the saison was more like a sour. Two of us could have shared a half order of ribs instead of a full one.
