Ya been here for decades so they are doing something right!! We had drinks which were great, will have to try their food next time!

They also have a great selection of drinks, which makes it even more enjoyable. I came here based on a recommendation from a friend who is a regular and absolutely loves their pizza. I have to say, the pizza was just okay for me--not bad, but nothing special. However, all the drinks we ordered were excellent! Our servers were very friendly, attentive, and helpful. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and had a great experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

It took a while to give the server our food and drink order and were were never told about their Daily Specials or offered any water. We ordered the potatoe skins as an appetizer and I wanted to try their chicken wings since they were on the menu as a Wednesday Special for .99 each Unfortunately our appetizer came out almost at the same time as our entrees. The skins were huge but overcooked. The wings were good in size but I should have gotten the sauce on the side as they were super soggy. It came with ranch dressing which I didn't care for at all. Our server never followed up with us after he brought us our meal as I would have asked for blue cheese dressing instead. If you are going to meet up with friends or watch a game,Draft Picks is an ok Sports Bar but certainly lacking in food quality.

Aesthetically it is a bit of a dump, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good bar. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and invited even though I was on my own. The bartender Amanda is much more than a bartender... She has an infectiously awesome personality that makes you feel she is sitting next to you joining you and helping you to have a good time. This is the first time in my life I've sat at a bar and the bartender shook my hand and asked my name. That alone made me want to stay and have fun. Amanda recommended the hot buffalo wings as the best food and I was highly impressed. Honestly some of the best wings I've had.... Very good. It is small inside, but has a large personality. The music was cranked up loud and people were dancing and singing along. There are a lot of regulars that go there, but they all started talking to me. If you don't care about it being an old and dark bar, this is a great place to have some fun and feel like you are at a bar where "Everyone knows your name"!!!!

I just recently started popping in here with a little bit of Saturday night regularity. Why? Well,…read moregive me karaoke on a Saturday night, near my house, and I'm not going to complain! Now, the first time I stopped in here was in the 1990's, to watch a game and eat some burgers... and I didn't go back again until the mid-2000's, just once, for karaoke. I had little kids and didn't get out much, met up with some friends and made it a quick stop for the evening, since I had to work in the morning. Here we are, 2026, and I've been in a few times in the last few months. I've got to imagine you're wondering why I'm only giving it three stars, it's the ambiance, to be honest... there's something that isn't for everyone here. I like the place, a little dive bar and a bunch of regulars, but it's not super inviting and I guess that's the issue. The crowd is also a bit on the older side and it's generally pretty dead on the weekends. The food, though... the only thing I have had and wasn't all-in on was the Caesar Wrap, because it was an oil based dressing rather than creamy and it was very messy - everything else I've had (wings, burger, fries) have been quite tasty! Yes, I'll be back, I like the Saturday-Night karaoke, the bartenders and the food.

Ok, it's Ceaser back at it again, dropping the Eats in yo Mouth!…read more Last week my best friend from the Military rolled into town. Now this dude is serious about fresh food like, if it ain't fresh, he ain't touching it. So I took him to Emerson's in Mt. Prospect, because if you know me, you know I don't miss when it comes to food. Chicago raised me, my pops was a chef, and my three brothers all cook like they're auditioning for a TV show. We walk in, and the first thing my guy says is, "Bro... this place is CLEAN." Off to a good start. We grab a beer, and 30 seconds later he already knows what he wants -- Peach Bourbon Burger, medium. I hit 'em with the Cajun Chicken Philly. He takes one bite and instantly goes, This is EXACTLY medium... and damn, that flavor! My turn - that Cajun Chicken Philly? Listen... the regular version is cool, but add Cajun and it becomes a whole different situation. I'm all about a kick, but this wasn't a kick... this was a full‑on SLAP. Fresh chicken, fresh peppers, fresh everything. FOEGETTABOUTIT. If you ever find yourself in Mt. Prospect, do your mouth a favor and slide into Emerson's. You'll thank me when you see me.

It was a pretty cool seat to be behind the band actually. Food wise, we had a chopped salad which I thought was honestly amazing - 10/10. Whenever I come here, I always get the detroit style pizza simply because that's what they're know for to a degree. It's *okay* - I would give it like a 7.2/10. Visually it always is great, but then actually eating it it can be a bit of a let down - very bready. But it's not bad by any means, but it won't be your favorite pizza in the world. Overall though for a local restaurant with reasonable prices, pretty solid place.

Bouncer told me it was not his no cash policy and just leave if I don't like it. Went to see a band only to find out the entire band area was reserved. Less than enjoyable experience. Update: whiskey river responded with an interesting answer. The reserved area was for a bday party. Nothing at all that night indicated that it was for St Jude. I arrived an hour before showtime and all the tables/seats anywhere close to the band were reserved. I reached out to one of the band members who I know (and the reason I was there) to confirm and nothing about the explanation I received below seems to be true. My best guess is that maybe just maybe the establishment mixed up what evening I was talking about.
