    The image shows a neon sign with a cartoon chicken character holding a drink, outlined in red, yellow, and blue neon lights. The chicken has a red comb and wattle, a yellow beak, and is dressed in a white shirt. The sign includes the text "Bird's Nest" in large, light-colored neon letters arched above the chicken. The sign is mounted on a plain wall, with a visible electrical outlet and wiring nearby.

    I have eaten at their Lincoln Park location and was excited they opened in downtown Arlington Heights. We went in a Monday night and were seated immediately. We asked about their Daily Specials and the server was somewhat confused and were different than what was listed on their website. Started with their 5.00 margarita which was very good. They are known for their wings so I had to have them again. They are a little pricey in my opinion but their Birds Nest Hot Sauce is the bomb. So flavorful and just the right amount of spice. Wings were tender and juicy. If you are looking for a casual eatery with good drinks and comfort foods,Birds Nest is definitely worth trying out.

    Fantastic family-friendly sports bar with friendly staff, great service, and delicious food at a reasonable price. All burgers and sandwiches come with a side and the fry options are plentiful--regular or curly, offered in a variety of flavors. The wings are big and also have a variety of flavors. We liked the honey BBQ. And the sandwiches and burgers are huge. They have the best white bean chili and chicken tortilla soup. Definitely something for everyone!

    Birds Nest has the best wings. Hands down. They are always super crispy and fresh. They have a few different sauce options to try, but I would say they have fewer sauces then most other local spots. Service has always been very nice too. They also have several games you can play- darts, pinball. Definitely a sports bar vibe!

    Went to the Birds Nest in AH for the first time after being a long time fan of the Lincoln park location and was so happy I did. I was worried the wings wouldn't live up to the OG location but they definitely did and do an overall awesome job keeping the food quality consistent with the other location. They know people who are long time fans of Birds nest might not be able to frequent the city as often so it's great they built a suburban location that is also a bit more family friendly. The service was great- our waiter constantly checked in on us and even made me a cherry coke even though they don't have it on tap. We got the wings, Cajun fries, nachos, and southwest salad. Everything was really good except for the nachos which were just meh. Will definitely be going back on the regular!

Adjacent is a plate of glazed chicken wings with celery sticks and small cups of ranch dressing. The food is arranged on a wooden table, typical of a casual dining or sports bar setting.

    I was excited that a location opened in the suburbs so that I didn't have to drive in the city but man was I disappointed... Once you walk in, there's a sign that says "please seat yourself" so its basically a free for all. No organization at all. People were fighting & arguing over tables as they opened up. Mind you the place is pretty small and its incredibly loud inside. There should really be a list hanging somewhere so there can be some sort of organization. Also staff did not acknowledge the group of ppl waiting by the door at all.. The food was very average and not worth waiting for. I was impressed the food came out in 15 min considering how busy they were. Majority of the wings were dry, hard, and with little meat on them. Wing flavors are limited too. The sides we got were good though, just very greasy. I will say this looks like a fun place to watch sports and hangout if you're lucky enough to grab a seat. The community seems to enjoy it alot but there is room for improvement.

It is served alongside a small portion of uncooked pasta and a bowl of chicken soup containing shredded chicken, vegetables, and herbs.

    I'm excited to have a new option in downtown Arlington Heights! Bird's Nest has a sports bar atmosphere, with several TVs. It was louder in there than I expected, but the food was good and so was the service. It's also open late, which is great. Because I'm not a huge sports fan, I'll probably avoid this place on game days, but will definitely return for lunch or dinner on quieter days.

    A neon sign depicts a cartoon bird character with exaggerated features, holding a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other. The bird has a mischievous expression and is outlined in bright neon colors, including red, yellow, blue, and white. The background features the text "Bird's Nest" in large, illuminated letters, creating a vibrant and playful visual. The sign is mounted on a dark wall, emphasizing the glowing neon effect.

    Our Burger Club finally made it's way to Jimmy D's back in December of 2025. It was a Monday night,…read moreand kinda cold outside. There were seven of us and we all converged from Buffalo Grove and Vernon Hills. Jimmy D's doesn't come up on your normal burger place lists in and around the area, but we saw a post somewhere and knew we had to check this place out, especially if it ended up being across from the future home of the Chicago Bears. We'd probably end up hanging out there and wanted to make sure it was a good enough place to hang and be a part of the action, whilst not paying for said action. Anyhoo, we all pulled up to find a nice parking lot next to/behind the restaurant. It's a cool place with a couple entrances (one in the lot and the other from the street). It's a nicely adorned building and has the requisite sports decor on the inside with plenty of televisions to watch many games at once. There was plenty of seating for our group as it was quite empty on a Monday night and there wasn't any game of note when we were there. We called ahead letting them know our numbers and they accommodated us with a reserved table. They were attentive and constantly refilled out waters and sodas and brought more beer when needed/requested. The service was friendly and attentive. We were there for the burgers of which there are four options: the House burger, the Fried Egg Burger, the Mac Daddy, and a Black Bean burger. However, stipulations for being in our club is that you can only order a red meat-based burger. We did order the buffalo sauced wings as an appetizer to share. They were sauced nicely, not too hot, and quite good. I would definitely recommend getting them if you visit. I also ordered the cream of chicken soup. It was a perfect option for the cold night and I rank it among one of the better cream of chicken soup options in the suburbs. While not a sommelier of cream of chicken soup, I do rank it quite well: I think it matches Jameson's Char House for quality, thickness, and flavor. Mama clearly knows what she's doing with her soup. I opted for the Mac Daddy burger. It's prepared with: black angus beef, boom boom sauce, house mac n' cheese, bacon, fried onions, sliced jalapeños, toasted brioche. I normally don't opt for the special/signature house sauces as I've been burned before by these so-called "recommended" house sauces (I'm looking at you, Lucky Burger, with your terrible "dijonnaise" sauce - ugh, don't get me started on THAT sauce). However, I was told it's a hot sauce for the burger and figured it wouldn't overpower everything else on the burger. The mac n' cheese was a tad creamy, but so what, the bacon, fried onions, jalapenos, and boom boom sauce cut into the creaminess a bit and it worked. And it didn't overpower the flavor of the burger, which I thought it would, but somehow didn't. I really liked this burger, the bun held up, the bacon stayed crispy, and jalapenos and sauce added a nice kick but not overwhelmingly so. I would get this again. The sandwiches come with housemade fries or tots, but I know that if tots are offered, you can (generally) never go wrong with tots (I'd point out Puck's Pub but they closed and did the world a favor in doing so). Everyone generally liked their burgers and would return again. In our 5 point scale, Jimmy D's District got a 4.25. They have a nice brunch menu and drinks to match and I want to try them out someday. Let me know if you're going and I'll meet ya there if available.

    If you're looking for the kind of place where the game is always on, the drinks are cold, and the…read morevibe feels like a standing invitation to stay awhile, Sports Page Bar usually delivers. This is one of those spots that doesn't try to be something it's not. It leans all the way into being a true neighborhood sports bar, and that's exactly why it works so well. Walk in and you're immediately wrapped in that familiar hum of TVs, cheers, and conversations a sports bar should have! The patio is nice, but it lacks TV's which would be great with some cover, but oh well. It's a good setup, and a huge reason folks keep coming back. Food-wise, burgers, wings, fries... nothing pretending to be fancy, just solid and satisfying. People consistently call it "good pub food" with a fun atmosphere, and that's honestly the perfect description. What really makes it stand out, though, is the atmosphere. It somehow balances being lively without being overwhelming. You can come to actually watch the game, or just hang out and soak in the energy. Regulars, first-timers, families, groups of friends, it all blends together into this easygoing, welcoming crowd. Is it flawless every single visit? No. It can get busy, things might take a little longer during peak times, and like any well-loved local spot, there are moments that aren't perfect. But none of that sticks with you. What does stick is the experience. At the end of the day, this is the kind of place you don't overthink. You just go, grab a seat, order something you know will hit the spot, and enjoy the game. Five stars, not because it's perfect, but because it nails exactly what it's supposed to be.

    second time coming to sports page since I really enjoyed the food the first time…read more I was highly disappointed especially it being father's day weekend the food was terrible. not sure if the oil wasnt changed or what the issue was but the fries were overcooked and dark and the chicken also was super dark and dry in the wrap. I mentioned about the seasoned fries being bad then got a new batch of tator tots very small amount that was even worse for 2.99 upcharge its a joke. i would think the waitress would have more common sense than to bring even worse food to the table. unfortunately I wont be going back spent almost $100 for poor quality meals and tipped too much for crappy service.

So we had out of state guests coming in and we all decided on a Friday fish dinner. We call early in the week for reservations for eight plus a child. We called again at 3 pm to confirm our 4pm reservation. They said to get in early about 4 pm because it gets wild at 430. So we arrived at 4 and the bar tender told us of the side room of the bar area. We went into the side room and nothing was set up for a table for eight plus a child. What I presumed an employee came in and set the table up. Several minutes later the bartender came in and said the server was on the way in and should arrive shortly. OK (not) the manager comes in and said you guys don't belong in here and need to leave. She asked who set up the table and the bartender is in tears. I said 1st of we did not set up the table your male employee did. She said we do not have any make employees. Ok I can't do anything about the bartender crying so why are you telling us this. So the eight of us got up only to find not one table for eight was set up in the bar area. Sad ...... So Our out of town guest one a foot surgical foot boot and me carrying my young grandchild walk out is total disbelief. (SHOCKER) We walked a quarter of a mile and had an excellent meal at Mago Grill at 115 Campell Street. The manager at Mago said thanks for coming and I said thank the manager at Eddie's. I highly suggest if you make reservations at Eddie's have a back up plan. The only reason they got a one star rating is because 0 or less was not an option.

Not sure what the bartender did to those drinks but they were completely disgusting and poorly made, coming from a former bartender. On top of having to choke down those horrible tasting drinks, they were almost $20 a drink! Completely outrageously priced. So then we go to pay for the two drinks which was $34.50, we put in two cards for the waitress to obviously split the tab down the middle. What does she do? Runs it entirely on one card. Multiple complaints about this places. Very upsetting. Do NOT come here. Save your money. I will never ever be back here
