First time trying shrimp tacos with a street corn salad accompaniment...amazing! Never can pass up the hot pretzel appetizer!

This was my first visit to The Lucky Monk. My wife had eaten there a couple of times but we had never gone as a family to dine. I had a mental picture of a bar/brewery establishment but was pleasantly surprised at layout and ambience. We started with appetizers and I had a beer brewed in-house. The appetizer was a sampler of the pickle fries, cheese curds and parmesan truffle fries. Each of them was perfectly cooked, crisp with out being crispy and I am not exaggerating to say they each ranked among the best of their respective category. The cheese curds were light and crisp, the fries had an ideal amount of truffle oil and had shaved parmesan versus grated and were delightfully crisp. The pickle chips were perfectly breaded. These were accompanied by a trio of sauces, that while delicious were hardly needed given the quality of each appetizer. Three of the four of us ordered burgers that were generous in size, perfectly constructed and ideally cooked. My wife and I enjoyed the Peppercorn Bleu- delicious peppercorn patty with caramelized onions, bleu cheese and served on a fresh pretzel bun. Delicious!! My son took on the Smoke Daddy IPA BBQ burger...and the burger won. It was bigger than his head and was stacked with yummy onion strings. He indicated it could have had a bit more of the BBQ sauce, but was very, very good. My daughter had the kid's Fish "n" Chips and she devoured all of it. A perfect portion for her. I also had a cup of the delicious Chicken Poblano Chili, which was another clear winner- tender chicken, white beans, sour cream and cilantro all combined to deliver exactly what a winter day called for; warm and flavorful goodness. The topper of it all was the attentive service from Colin and the entire staff. Extremely personable and knowledgeable and always right there when we needed him. The other staff supplemented as needed to insure we had what we needed at all times. Engaged the manager after dinner to extended our gratitude; he was equally great

Great food and atmosphere with friendly staff, will go again.

THE SERVICE WAS OUTSTANDING, AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND LUCKY MONK TO MY FRIENDS.

As always, outstanding service and food....

Everything was as the last time we ate there, just that the taste of the food was less than good. Wait time was reasonable, service was great! Prices were reasonable. It will be a while before we go back. Hopefully the food issue will be corrected.

The food was excellent from apps to main dishes. Their beer selection is broad, with their own beers being very tasty. Social distancing, masks, and sanitation were all good too--felt very comfortable with their practices. Will definitely be back.

had a great valentines day at lucky monk! the valentine's day menu was delicious and well worth the price. loved the champagne and chocolate strawberries! best Brussel sprouts around!

Service and food was great our waiter was on point with our food and service. We really enjoyed the ambiance of the building and of course the food was delicious and the beer was really great also.

They created an excellent Valentine's day menu and experience.

Hostess were quick to sit us.
Servers were on point.
Drinks were great and food was delicious

The staff was very friendly and lovely to talk to, socially distant for those who are cautious. An overall Vibrant experience with phenomenal food and drinks.

Experience was good food was tasty, service at times slow but still good.

Service was slow, food came out cold. Manager seemed annoyed when I told him about it. Will not return

Valentines Day. Nice special menu, attentive server. Reasonable value.

Food was good and service was quick. 2 hour time limit but we were done in 90 minutes.

Our server I think his name was James was outstanding! He gave great recommendations on the menu and checked on us several times. The one surprise was that the placed as fully occupied. I know indoor dinning has reopened, but every table was filled and didn't seem like they were following the guidance.

Great appetizers and pub fare. Even took a Growler home!! Will be back with more friends .....

Food was great. Service was excellent.

Great attitude and awesome food. Amazing place to have special occasion.

It’s was okay.

Wish some of the things that were on the menu weren’t taken away. Also, wish some of the specials on the Valentine’s Day menu were on the regular menu.

Made reservations for 7:15. We were seated by 7:17!!
They were so friendly!! Took our temperature and seated us right away. Food was awesome and so was service! Had the cheese curds-Sooo delicious. Also had the Turkey burger. It was very tasty!! Would recommend this restaurant!!

Kiley was a great bartender, would recommend again. Definitely will be back.

Great food and great service from Gabriella. Only complaint was that the entire area was not shoveled...easy for someone to slip and fall....

Food was delicious and the server was very prompt and helpful. Spacing felt very COVID safe. All and all a great evening!

We had a great time having family night. Thanks again!

Love this place. Great food, great beer, great atmosphere.

Waitress was nice... brought birthday desserts for our 2 girls and fixed an item. So good to get out!

Our waitress Gabriella was amazing! She was knowledgeable and so helpful when ordering and customizing. The food was very good! Of course everything looks different with Covid, but they did a great job of spacing and making reservations.

Thank you Lucky Monk for a fun energetic atmosphere. The Chicken Chili soup was AMAZING. Servers were very friendly and attentive. Fun music and sports playing.
It was nice to finally feel a little normalcy in this crazy world.

Great food, amazing presentation. Service was fantastic..Gabriela was our server! First time there and will definetely be coming back!

My favorite Chicago place: the best burgers, fries, and beer.

Food was great as usual, service this visit was lacking,

Great food and quick service! Would recommend and will go again. Their smash burger was excellent but I’m not sure it’s a full time menu item, should be!

I've eaten at the Lucky Monk before, but it had been several years. I dined with my girlfriend, and we had a positive experience. The giant pretzel appetizer is delicious! Make sure you share though, because it's YUUUUUUUUGE

As a vegetarian, my options were very limited for my entrée. That's okay, I knew that coming in. I tried the Vegan burger. I have to admit - it was not my cup of tea. Again, I kind of knew that going in, so no worries. My girlfriend had the swiss bacon burger. She was very satisfied. The French fries were lit, fam!

The service was excellent. Our server knew that my girlfriend didn't speak English, so he did his best to accommodate her in Spanish. Big plus! Also, he could tell that I wasn't enjoying my Vegan Burger. When he saw that I only ate a couple bites of it, he took it off the bill without me even asking. What a guy!!! It definitely earned him a big tip.

I look forward to going back to the Lucky Monk after Covid is over. It's a great location for a happy hour or drinks with friends. Just stay away from the Vegan Burger unless you're hard core.

Great food, excellent service at a great price

The wait staff was friendly and attentive. They have done a great job of creating a safe environment during this time of pandemic. Also, they have a several seating options for their guests.

Been there several times recently. Love that they are open for indoor dining through all this and just a great place.

We had a good time on the heated patio. Only thing was that it was definitely colder than the 60 degrees I was told they get it up to in there....we saw our breath! It was probably in the 40s in there. Would probably be better if they had 2 rows of ceiling heaters - one row above the one set of tables and the other row of heaters above the other set of tables instead of one row right in the middle of the rows of tables. We still enjoyed ourselves though!
