    Southern Fried Catfish
    BreNae S.

    First time at Chug-A-Lug and my experience matched all the good things I have heard about this place. I was skeptical about a rooftop being in Glenwood but my expectations were exceeded. The 3- level concept gives you the opportunity to decide how intimate you would like your night to be. Main level allows for booth seating, rooftop provides a good opportunity to enjoy the weather while enjoying your food, drinks and music. The basement was my favorite part. It was the perfect place for ADULT fun. Each level has a bar offering more options based on which level you sit at. My service was great! The young lady was very honest with our food selections. I originally wanted a salmon burger but she was honest about the many reviews so I went with the southern fried catfish that comes with two sides. I chose the rice pilaf and asparagus. The sides were a little salty but overall meal 8/10. I paired my food with a 1800 reposado mule which definitely was delicious. Right amount of spirit and other ingredients. Overall I would be returning to experience the arcade set up in the basement as well as try more food/drink options

    Pasta, veggies and salmon
    Tamara J.

    We went on a Thursday night when it wasn't crowded. Easy parking. The space is really nice with multiple floors - the main dining area, lower level and rooftop. The service was good. The food was pretty good, but I will say the sauce on the salmon was too thick and sticky. Sounds like they are known for their appetizers, but we ordered entrees. Would definitely return.

    Bourbon chicken wings
    Scott L.

    Found this place on a fluke. Was going to a gas station nearby and heard some nice music coming from their upstairs patio. Went to check it out and was truly amazed. Large monitors to watch sports and a robust menu selection. Had the cheese stick and bourbon wings. Soooo good. You can actually see the seasonings on them. Not like those you get when they just drop the stick in oil from a frozen bag. This wings really hit the spot. Nice tangy bourbon sauce coated every bit of the wing and did not leave a huge grease stain. Did I mention the service was great?

    Philly Sandwich
    Jackie R.

    Worth every calorie. The Philly cheesesteak is so good and the onion rings too. I love their selection of cocktails including seasonal drinks. The service was very good, it was just myself and my daughter. The ambiance was what you'd expect for a sports bar but I can't wait to visit once it's officially rooftop season as they have a rooftop.

    I've visited this establishment a couple of times now (9/14/2022 & 8/19/2024) and still feel the same as the first visit. The food is just ok, to me. And is served cold at times (a fresh hot dish was provided after informing our server, who wasn't surprised it was cold to begin with). The other guests with me really enjoyed their food. The servers have good intentions, but the service could be better. Repeatedly asking for water or to have used dishes removed from the table isn't my favorite thing to do. If you ask for the 18% service charge to be removed, you'll be told no, at least we were. And said service charge is not considered automatic gratuity. Definitely, sounded like a lie to me because whenever I've asked for these erroneous charges/fees to be removed at other places (including downtown-as the server was quick to say "they don't remove them downtown either.") I've never been told no. Then we were asked to give our tip as cash. Otherwise, it'll be divided up between the kitchen, server, and table bussers, according to our server. If I could give an actual star review, I'd give 2.5. The positive 2.5 would be for: good portion sizes with a variety of food items to choose from, spacious interior, great for large groups, for watching sports, they have a rooftop, which is non-existent in the south suburbs, and they have an area with recreation options downstairs (bowling, billiards, arcade style games), as well as the now trendy gaming machines if that's your thing. The other 2.5 stars that need work are: the service (being more attentive and prompt) and safety-although there's security, during my last visit a guy presented to our table as if he worked there asking how everything was then solicited his personal business. Our server informed us he's always there and isn't a worker. Which lets me know they're clearly ok with his presence. My first time visiting an upset worker said they were leaving and coming back to shoot someone. So yeah. Housekeeping items: Parking is tight and shared with other businesses within the strip plaza. If you park across the street, don't walk alone. It's dark and secluded. The bathroom is clean. They take more than one payment if needed.

    Caesar salad with grilled chicken
    Monique P.

    Service was slow... took almost 45 minutes to be waited on.... Placed our order....mango habanero wings, Cobb salad, Caesar salad with grilled chicken and spinach, artichoke dip... once the food came the presentation of the food was really nice. The spinach artichoke dip had a very thick layer of cheese on top of it as I dug into it. I ended up having to pull the whole piece of cheese back.It had a good taste, but it had a gritty pasty texture in my mouth so I started mixed it up but all of that didn't help so I just pushed it to the side, proceeded to start with my Cobb salad which had grilled chicken in it. The grilled chicken was chard, which had a burnt taste to it and so was the chicken in the Caesar salad.... the habanero mango wings were pretty good, I had a bill over $100 and I was completely dissatisfied with the whole meal. I asked the waitress to have the spinach artichoke dip taken off because she saw I really didn't eat it. She said management said once it comes to your table they can't take it off your tab so I doubt if I will revisit this location or this establishment and patronize them for their food....

    Dry tasteless chicken Philly
    Quetta N.

    I didn't like anything about this place! Maybe because I went at night but the food was subpar and we had the worst waitress ever! Not a lick of customer service skills! The fact that I had to be patted down like I was at a night club or something was crazy to me just to eat some chicken wings and celery sticks

The ambiance, the service, the cocktails and the food! Every attention to detail was valued and appreciated. The 17th floor view of beautiful Downtown....(wait for it)...Gary, was inspiring. Seriously, you can see the Sears Tower on a clear day and it looked like Oz! This restaurant is one to visit! One to value! One to appreciate! The smoked Old Fashioned was the first clue that this was going to be a good experience. Wood smoked in a decanter and served over a single cube with Rosemary sprig. Perfection! Delicious! I wish I could had the perfect t cigar with it. Appetizers of Ousters Rockefeller were superb. Great sized. Generous toppings. The Waygu meatballs, sauce and perfectly toasted bread almost had me stepping away from my table to "slap the cook" but I composed myself as the perfect gentleman that I am and silently clapped for him. My ribeye was cooked to perfection. Mom had the lamb chops and she said aloud that she was in heaven. I did not want to hear that kind of talk, so I ordered her a prosecco. Ha. She relaxed. We had a few sides, the creamed spinach and the Mac n Cheese and each one did not disappoint. There was no room for dessert, but side note...(this place is located at the Wind Creek Casino just next to a Portillo's and IYKYK- that Chocolate Cake is fire! So make a detour and got ma home. I recommend for dates, special occasions or just a damn good meal in the Southland without the hassle of driving downtown! 5 Star experience. Make your reservation now!

This is a great option for those who don't like the hecticness of the city. Parking is free and the ambiance of the restaurant is top tier. It was decorated beautifully, and they did not miss any details when decorating this space. The service was great. Our waiter was great, and he gave great suggestions for us. He checked in with us constantly and made sure that we were all very comfortable and accommodated. The food was so good here. They had a quality comparable to downtown Chicago steakhouses. I got the Delmonico steak, and it was amazing. It was seasoned to perfection. I like how the blue cheese crust and the bearnaise sauce was complimentary. We also had the bread service, creamed spinach, macaroni and cheese, parmesan potatoes, beef fat fries, and crab cakes. Everything was exceptional! For dessert, I had the carrot cake cheesecake, and I was impressed at how delicious it was. Overall, this experience was a 10/10, and I highly recommend going here for any occasion.

Never heard of this place and I am beyond past any bar, lounge or club type situation but again we were invited for a birthday party and had no idea what to expect. We ordered food and drinks and were in the VIP section which had a huge tv and was streaming the game. The music was very tame and if you like that type of music very non lethal, very old school. Folks dressed normal and acted like they had sense! Plenty of parking and no issues

That means the world to me! I do look forward to my next visit. I went here Saturday with my girls, and the vibe was on point, but the service from one of the bartenders left a bad taste. I want to extend some grace because it was extremely crowded and only a few bartenders were working, so one would expect a longer wait. However, when trying to order a 2nd round of drinks after tipping 20% our requests were repeatedly dismissed while others that came behind us were being served. When we finally did get served, I didn't realize my friend had paid for my drink and I put $15 on the bar for it. Once my girl told me she had already paid for my drink, I asked the bartender for my money back. She told me I only put $10 and despite my witnesses correcting her, she took it upon herself to STEAL $5 from me. In the future, I will not request service from this particular bartender. Other than that, it was a great time, and I look forward to my next visit!
