On a layover, and had already given up on another spot. Was glad to have Ralph here to act like a…read moreprofessional and at least try. He gets it. Went the extra mile to get me a Goose Island brew from their sister spot across the way. Beer was good, but it does seem odd for an Irish pub themed joint in Chicago not to serve any drafts that are Chicago craft. Food? Meh. Exceptionally meh. I know it's an airport and it's gonna be greedily overpriced and gouged, but it was no better than a ballpark concession stand. Clearly sat for a while before coming out. Nothing in an airport is going to get a Michelin star, but goddamn try to differentiate yourself if you're a sit down spot vs the food court counter options. Most of those looked better on people's trays. But thanks to Ralph being professional and welcoming, it was not to be judged on food alone.

Reviews on the food are accurate. I got fish and chips…read more The seating is just sit anywhere, it would be nice if there was a little more space. Server was friendly, mentioned the wait on food was 25 minutes. It showed up in about 8 minutes Some fries were cold. The size of the cod pieces are generous, but not cooked enough. One was extremely water, the other piece had bites that didn't seperate from the piece, sort of like a steak instead of fish. Drinks are served in plastic cups, takes away a bit from the experience. Would not recommend for eating

I have long been curious about this watering hole, assuming it's a blue color / trades / locals joint. I finally dropped in, just to see what condition my condition was in. In short order upon walking in, I spied an unironic t-shirt celebrating 45's inauguration on the wall, a MAGA hat perched prominently upon a shelf, from the Winner's Circle corner of the bar a question is posed regarding whether if Trump was impeached could he still be elected to TWO more terms (!), predictable scoffing about "global warming" due to the recent cold snap, and the "fact" that there are more homes with house chickens than viewers of CNN. Oh, and the colorful term "shines" was freely used regarding the pre-eminent ranking of Michael Jordan. Right here in Chicago. Draw your own conclusions, but this is where The Deplorables feel right at home and among their own kind. The Old Style is $2.50 a bottle and was cold.

The slider appetizer here is to die for. The quality of the slider portions and the flavor is…read moreamazing. I get it without the bacon because I don't eat pork, but it is amazing still. They have Italian beef eggrolls that are one in 1 million. The outer dough is always crispy and the Italian beef inside is always flavorful and tender. It comes with a side of aus ju and you top it off with a little Tabasco and it is a 10 out of 10. The wings here are not the skimpy meatless wings. They are thiiick! The ranch is solid and they don't charge extra for it if you need more. Great for those ranch "drinkers" lol. That's ask have a Mangonaso cocktail that's perfect. My wife is picky when it comes to mixed drinks and it was perfect and she couldn't stop ordering them. This place is great for groups or even a date night. They have trivia at night and other events that are really cool and can be found on their website. It's a nice local old school/new school bar that brings a city vibe to a quiet suburb. They even have an outdoor patio section that is amazing during the summer and fall time. They have crème brûlée that was done perfectly, which is hard to find in the Berwyn area.

We came for brunch for the 1st time. Better flavors overall…read more The avocado toast is confusing. My opinion is there is too much corn. I think if it was charred & maybe a little less lime juice it might be a more satisfying bite. In its current form, i couldn't taste the avocado at all. I knocked off all the corn & tried the avocados that way; they were just ripe & creamy. Bread is great quality. Eggs were perfectly cooked. Husband got the American breakfast. All components were cooked & seasoned well, & i liked the added peppers & spinach to the breakfast potatoes; nice touch. $4.30 up charge for subbing out impossible patty for breakfast meat. Beautiful patio experience. Effective service.

Service was spot on and the server was friendly and attentive. Started with the homemade fried…read morepickle appetizer which was very good, not greasy and made in "clean" oil. Sandwiches were the single smashed cheesie and the tenderizer. Both were served hot and with the seasoned fries which were also very good. This is a nice place to stop in for a quick lunch - beers and food are reasonably priced. The toilet in the women's bathroom is loose - be careful. Cleanliness is pretty good, although they could hit the corners and baseboards a little bit better

I give this is 4 stars overall, but 5 for the Garfield Ridge area, as there just aren't a whole lot…read moreof nicer sit down spots in the area. Not to say it's fancy or anything, but it's a very good newer option for Archer Avenue, with lots of food and drink options. I imagine it's the same menu as the other Cheesie's locations. I got the Melt sandwich, it tasted on par with the food from the North side location. Service was pretty fast, and they have a good amount of seating options. Again, nothing crazy, but it's just good to see Garfield Ridge get a nicer option like this, as a lot of the bars just have drinks and no food, or are just food places. I have friends who live down here, so they often go out on Archer for bdays or events, so I'm glad to see this as a new option, and would definitely vote to stop here for any future events in the area.

Jim-may, my man! Nice place ya got here buddy…read more I was seeking a bar that was roughly halfway between Oak Park & Orland Park (meeting someone, heh heh), and I happened to stumble upon this über-divey treasure. Miller Lite was the only beer they had on tap, but you could get a bucket of it for like a nickel. Hyperbole? Maybe. A 60oz pitcher of the classic domestic swill cost only $5, which is pretty damn tough to beat if you ask me. Liz behind the bar was super friendly and introduced herself not long after I sat down. Once my +1 arrived, Liz was nice enough to make a bag of popcorn that she gave us to munch on. Talk about being given a warm reception! They don't accept Discover and have a $10 minimum on credit card purchases, but for a small operation like this it's to be expected, so I can't fault them for that. Some of the barstools are a teensy bit ripped-up, although in a dive bar setting like this, I find that they truly 'complete the look'. Great homey feel and a jukebox loaded with tons of tunes for 50¢ or a dollar per song. They've got billiards tables and a few slot machines that I imagine get a lot of play from their 'regulars'. They also feature Karaoke on select nights of the week. There's a very tasteful piece of nude art behind the bar, which I'm told is a painted portrait of someone who works there. Being a big fan of all things naked people, I found this to be a nice touch amidst the cans of Old Style and half-empty Smirnoff bottles. ....and unless I'm mistaken, I definitely met/talked to/received free shots from *the* Jimmy of said namesake bar. His taste in Huey Lewis & The News (along with his great taste in hats) didn't go unnoticed. He was hilarious and insisted that I stick around for a while [keep in mind this was at 11pm on a Wednesday], but I had to decline. Lyons is generally off my radar, but for the way I was greeted and taken care of at this establishment, I'd not hesitate for a second to stop back in, if I were to be in the area again.
