Such great food! What a great atmosphere! They are very simple and they let you customize what you like. I got a burger and some fries and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. I got a root beer in a bottle and that was good too. I'll definitely be coming back.

Food was good. We had a bacon cheeseburger and a pot roast sandwich. The bacon was fried to ashes, so not good. The fries were a little off as well, maybe they sat too long partially fried. Just not the right texture and flavor somehow. Bartender Mike was our server, and he was very attentive and friendly. Nice local bar vibe.

The owner, TED, takes a lot of pride, and what he puts on his menu. The food is consistently great. The service is outstanding. Mike is a wonderful bartender, and all around good guy. In fact, all the staff are really fabulous. This is a local joint that appreciates its patrons, people are encouraged to talk and share stories. The regulars are friendly and open. The place is a great place to catch a Bears game or Blackhawks or Bulls. They pour a proper Guinness reasonably priced drinks and beers is also always appreciated.

A Cordon Bleu chef made magical tasting cheeseburgers in a small friendly bar. Well treated even though we obviously were not "from those parts"

They are racist in there towards black people I went in and the bartender was watching me the whole time with a mean look like he was going to have to turn into an action hero to save everyone from me I even tried small talk with him and he had no interest and I had a woman with me that noticed all this it was so awkward
