This is our to go place when we come and staycation in Chicago. Food and drinks are always on par. Despite the numerous Vikings fans, the atmosphere was enjoyable. Wait staff are the best!

I work remote so I needed a place that would impress my team from the home office when I went to visit. This was EXACTLY what I was looking/hoping for!! We all found something that we liked on the menu - WIN! Some were able to take home leftovers for a second meal - WIN!! We were on a time crunch and got in and out in plenty of time - SUPER WIN!! And we all left knowing each other a little better. Ahhhhh! The sweetest win of them all.

Very, very loud. We were fortunate that we were seated in a private dining area with a few others. Despite the fact that we did have a reservation, there was no room in the main dining room apparently. Turned out that was good if we wanted to talk. Service was excellent, friendly and prompt!! Very tasty, but very greasy burger for one diner. In my opinion too much spicy food, including the fries.
