    Fun little bar with great outdoor seating! The beer is cold and the wrap would be on my weekly rotation if I lived here! Recommend checking this place out if you are in the area

    Expresso martini

    Went here for a quick happy hour and had a good time. It was not super crowded and I was able to get in and sit right away. My friend and I enjoyed green tea shots, the expresso martini, and cheese curds. It was all good, no complaints. The customer service was excellent as well. Will definitely stop in here again for a visit.

    Newley opened. Great drink selections and make sure you take advantage of their happy hour. There's also a full menu, this spacious restaurant a solid new addition. There is plenty of comfortable seating inside, plus a charming outdoor patio out front--perfect for soaking up good weather. The service is excellent and super friendly, even during busy happy hour rushes. A great casual spot to kick back with friends and enjoy food, drinks, and company.

    I checked out this new spot in River Noeth about a week and a half ago to watch some football on a Sunday. There are a lot of bars and places to watch football in this area, but this spot seems like it's a great one. First, the food was very good. I ordered the smashburger with tots, buffalo chicken wings, an espresso martini and a cookie skillet for dessert. I've had a lot of smashburgers and this is a very good one. The espresso martini measures up to anyone that I've had in any Chicago bar. The tots were hot and crispy and the chicken wings very good. The cookie skillet is a a must order for dessert. I loved the ambiance. It's a pretty classic bar and grill with a lot of TVs, but their patio sets the place apart. It gets tons of sun and still has plate of TVs to watch the game. The service as excellent. My waitress was nice, attentive and had good suggestions. This is a must visit apart for a drink, food or to juts watch the game.

    This spot was amazing! I was very sad to see the restaurant empty. Ambiance is great, very similar to the former bar cargo but much more inviting. $5 mimosas and $10 aperol spritz on the weekend was a hit. Might be the BEST chicken Caesar wrap in the city. Also got the cheese curds which were amazing as well. 10/10.

    Ahh! This used to be Bar Cargo. Remember that! They are New Kids on the Block. I had their fries and some other items. The staff and service is very good.

    Fine service, good atmosphere, okay food. Not as good as Bar Cargo, but the happy hour makes it worth it.

    One of Chicago's most renowned Italian Beef Sandwiches, originating in 1938. A special trip to try…read moreit, and it was truly satisfying. Regular Combo: A combination of beef and sausage. The meat portion was very generous; the beef was thinly sliced ​​but juicy and not dry or hard at all; the sausage had a rich smoky flavor, not too salty, and tastes a lot like Harbin red sausage. Al's Classic Hand-Cut Fries: They were piping hot when I received them, so touching! I couldn't taste the hand-cut texture, but there was a spice powder similar to salt and pepper, and the flavor was quite good.

    3-ish stars rounded up. The roast beef was a little on the dry-stringy side but the bread was…read morespongy-soft (absorbed the beef drippings so well!). Kinda skimpy on the fixings on the Chicago dog, but still gets the job done if you're craving a Chicago dog. Fries are the type that are greasy to the touch; not my fave style of fries but I know it's a well-liked one to others. Super friendly lady at the cashier (all smiles, patient, and offered menu help)! Also fast service (got my order within a few minutes). I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was very chill here (also shoutout to the early 2000's era music playing :p it was a vibe). Overall I'd say it's not a bad food spot at all if you want a quick bite and want to be a little away from the Magnificent Mile crowds.

    Great lunch/breakfast spot with fast service and simple/fresh sandwiches…read more The oven roasted turkey sandwich was great, tasted like something my grandma would make me (in a good way). Will be back.

    I really want to like them so much more than I do. If there were a continuum from hipster deli…read more(think Mile End) to traditional deli (Manny's, 2nd Avenue, etc) Schneider would on the hipster side of center. Two of us shared a half pound pastrami on rye with a side of hash browns. The rye was pretty decent but the pastrami was sliced far too thick and the meat was lean. That is not a good thing when it comes to pastrami and I attribute the lean meat to the deli catering to its hipster-ish audience. Although the flavor was decent, the sandwich was dry and difficult to eat. We disagreed on the generously sized pickle. One of us thought the flavor was just right, the other not so much. We both agreed on the hash browns. It's a no-go. They were well fried but entirely unseasoned. I understand the lack of schmaltz but there was no onion or salt or anything else. Waffle House has nothing to worry about. (IYKYK) Service was fast and polite. The space is tiny, but it works. Prices are okay for this area but if you want traditional deli in Chicago, go to Manny's.
