This was a great pop in!! They have alot of restaurants in the area but this one has a rather unique menu so that drew me in. It is located in an easy to find area however the parking lot fills up pretty fast being that it's connected to a hotel. The restaurant was very clean inside and outside. All the staff was friendly from the hostess to the waitstaff was friendly. As far as s be beverages go, they definitely have something for everyone. They offer lot on tap, mixed drinks and mocktail/NA options which o always think is great. For the food, let's talk a bout the food!!!!! Those crab rangoon mozzarella sticks was a favorite for sure. They were a. Ice size, very crispy and the filling was top tier. Don't let me get started on that dipping sauce! 10/10 must try again. We also tried the loaded tater tots which were also delicious. For meals, we tried the bacon cheeseburger which was cooked to perfection but needed some seasoning. We also tried the fish tacos which were amazing. I would visit again.
The ambience is welcoming with a nice bar seating type atmosphere. Very roomy. Large bar area, and lots of booths and tables We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer. They were ok. They were really greasy which is not to my liking I ordered the steak medium well. The steak was good. It was more on the medium well side. Came with broccoli and finger potatoes. The broccoli was good and the finger potatoes were very good. The potatoes were nicely seasoned. My favorite part of the dish. Too bad the steak was only good. We had a desert special. Fried Ice Cream. It was good. It had a Smokey flavor to it. The waiter was attentive and nice.
Out at Woodfield Mall, we tried City Works based on a Google Maps suggestion. It's a large, corporate, upscale dining spot. If you're a beer drinker, they have a massive selection on tap (about 90 taps--and no, that's not a typo!). They also have a large patio that looks like a great spot when the weather is nice. Inside, there's a good mix of low-tops, high-tops, banquettes, and booths. All the tabletops feature copper tops with wood trim, and exposure to water and food over time has given each table a unique patina. We arrived right as they were switching over from the brunch menu to dinner, and the staff made us feel very welcome. What We Ordered: Smoked Brisket Reuben Eggrolls: We ordered these special eggrolls for the table. My friend has a shellfish allergy, and since many traditional eggrolls contain shrimp, he was excited to try these. He said they were the best eggrolls he's ever had (though he admitted he doesn't eat them often!). He paired it with a Guinness Zero non-alcoholic draught and was amazed by how close it tasted to the original. Fish Tacos ($19): Recommended by another reviewer, these come with three cornmeal-battered, fried Mahi-Mahi tacos topped with cilantro lime cream and fresh micro cilantro. They were crispy and very tasty. If you're usually sensitive to cilantro, you might still enjoy these--I mostly tasted a bright, lemony freshness rather than heavy cilantro. Sides (Broccoli Rabe & Asparagus): I substituted chips for a vegetable side. Due to a mix-up in the kitchen, I got to try the broccoli rabe first, though it turned out way too spicy for anyone at our table. My actual order was asparagus--my absolute favorite--but it was a bit disappointing, as the bottom half of each stalk was woody and fibrous. Fish & Chips ($21.50): My friend went with this traditional entry. At that price point, he was expecting three fillets, but he couldn't finish the two that were served and took some home. Overall, a solid entrée. Classic Breakfast ($15.50): My husband got this from the brunch menu. He was very pleased with the scrambled eggs, potatoes, thick-sliced bacon, and sausage links. Overall, a solid visit with great variety on the menu!
Our waiter Rizzo was awesome!! So kind hearted and down to earth! Please ask for his section whenever you go in and omg I can't forget about Sarah rose! Although we didn't sit in her section she was such a sweetheart and answered all of our questions! It was my first time here and my friend and I had an awesome time! The restaurant was clean and full of life as soon as they opened at 11am. Unfortunately We didn't get to try any of the beers on tap but I did have a peach chiller which was delicious! I do recommend. 10 out of 10! As far as lunch my friend ordered the mahi mahi taco which she loved and said tasted great! I ordered the spicy shrimp linguine which was actually delicious and it was a nice size portion. They have an amazing patio and beer selection! For the amount of food given, it is reasonable. This is on our coming back to list and we will be back
How many chicken sandwiches can you get out of one breast? CW has the answer! Based on the two we ordered today 4! Pound out, cut in half then filet each half. Sad the prices are up portioned size shrinkage. I'll get the Salmon or a burger next time. More a bar than a restaurant to let this happen. Please do better.
We came by for a late lunch and drinks. Parking across the street was pretty empty but completely filled by the time we left. Inside, it was mostly empty. The 3 of us got seated at a semi circle booth near the wall menu. As a cider drinker, I was happy to see more than angry orchard on the menu. Unfortunately, one option (Blake's) was not available. I ended up having a glass of the remaining two (Ace and Ebis). My wife got the nashville chicken wrap. I tasted and I admit it was spicy and fitting of the name in a good way. She only managed to get through less than half of it. The side fries were very tasty. When happy hour rolled around during our visit, I went for HH queso dip. Chips were good. Dip was decent. It had meat in it which I felt was unnecessary though. Service felt very mediocre. Server came by a handful of times but never took initiative to refill waters. Was given the check before we asked for it. Then server came back right away to run payment but we didn't have a card out yet. We had an annoying little fruit fly buzzing around us the whole time. Where there's one... Slight pet peeve: There was another party seated in the booth next to us. Their toddler accidentally flung some water(?) at us at one point. I get that kids happen but still SMH when I looked around and realized we were the only two tables in the very large, empty hall. Would have appreciated more space buffer when possible. While it looks like a great place to watch a game, I was not all that impressed with overall experience during this visit.
I did a to go order. The place had a nice ambiance and they had a nice outdoor area. Being gluten sensitive they had a good choice of food options. I opted for the salmon dish. The photo doesn't do it justice as a Togo . Very tasty and the side of vinaigrette was very tasty. Prices are average to high and there is a surcharge of 3% on credit cards but not cash or debit. Service was fantastic. Very friendly staff. I would come again if I am in town, next time I will dine in.
We wanted to get a night cap before heading to the hotel. Luckily this restaurant was nearby our hotel. Big restaurant with lots of TV hung at the bar and nice booths that can easily fit 8 people. We were greeted at the door and seated right away. They have a big selection of beer on the wall. We wanted something to munch on with our cocktails, so smoked wings it is. Delicious by the way.
Came here solo after a tiring morning at work (ended up being a late afternoon meal), and this place was exactly what I needed. The food absolutely hit the spot--I left feeling refreshed and energized! I've come here several times and have always enjoyed the food. Most recently, I tried the Grilled Lemon Salmon and loved it! It was flavorful, filling, and beautifully presented (see photo). I also enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon blanc that complemented the meal wonderfully. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, which was perfect for unwinding after a long morning. Kelsey was great. She was attentive, friendly, and personable. TL;DR: Great food, great service, and great vibes. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
I came here with a friend on a Friday night and we had a great experience. We walked in at 6:30 and the place was packed! We didn't have reservations and they said it would be a 30 minute wait. We ended up getting lucky and finding 2 spots at the bar so we spent the night there. The bartender was excellent. They have a wide variety of different beers on their beer menu. I was pleasantly surprised with how many they offered. I ordered the beer flight and they were all very good. One of them was a strawberry basil beer, so that was interesting! The food was better than I expected. I ordered the chicken tinga tacos and they were delicious! The atmosphere is great and when we left at 9:15 it was still busy. I plan on returning and trying more of their food and beer!
I stayed in Schaumburg for only three days and I ended up eating here four times, partly because of convenience, but also the food was delicious and the staff was phenomenal. I was served more than once by a delightful server named Sararose. She was attentive and friendly and part of the reason I came back so many times. If you share reviews with your staff internally, I would love for them to all know what a great job they are doing. I can only give five stars on yelp, but I give City Works Schaumburg nine thumbs up!
Came here last weekend for a nice weekend brunch/lunch date with my hubby and I loved the outdoor seating. The weather was perfect for it and those giant umbrellas came in clutch. Server was ok, he seemed a bit unenthusiastic and stoic. The food though was lovely and I would come back to try other things because their menu has that bit of a creative edge
My friend and I decided on City Works for a late night dinner. The setting was perfect for a conversation. The grilled chicken burger definitely hit the spot after a long day. The chicken was moist with visible grill marks. The burger held up well between the warm bun. The fries were crispy and cooked to perfection. Overall, I would definitely order this meal again.

Hi Matthew, thank you for taking the time to make us aware of the…
After a long day of cancelled and delayed flights, this is exactly what I needed. Very good and extensive beer selection. I had very good (not great) wings and a tasty grilled chicken sandwich. Not the best versions of either, but still very tasty and really hit the spot. It's very clear that this location caters to business travelers. I was there on consecutive nights - Thursday and Friday night. Fairly lively room good energy, but not rowdy. Big screens over the bar with lots of games on. I really like the service both nights. I was there. The crew behind the bar was super friendly and helpful. Offered a few samples of beers. I was curious about. Overall city Work checked all the boxes. Glad I came. read more

As a catholic, I was looking for a good fish and chips last Friday. I went out on a limb and decided to try City Works. I'm so happy I did! We started with the crab fondue- which being someone who isn't a fan of crab, I'm surprised I liked this as much as I did! We also got the pretzel bites which were soft and chewy and a great little snack! The fondue was very rich, so if you decide to get it, I would recommend only sticking with that unless you have a big group- because it was quite filling! It is goat cheese based, which I love, but it wasn't super tangy. So if you are someone who's not the biggest fan of goat cheese because it has a little pungent taste, I wouldn't write this appetizer off! Definitely worth the try. The star of the show was the fish and chips. The batter was light and airy, and the fish was flaky and didn't have any fishy taste. It also was not rubbery in the slightest, which I find to be the biggest issue with some fish fry. Their coleslaw was good, however, not personally a fan of the red onion in it. I did get honey mustard on the side and it was DELICIOUS. Sweet and tangy, perfect consistency for dipping! The booths are quite deep and the inside is a slightly more upscale sports bar vibe- but don't get it twisted, I still wore sweatpants and was perfectly fine! Our server was a little soft spoken and we had to wait occasionally, but I will assume it's because it was busy and the first day where it was above 50 degrees in the Chicago area for awhile. Im looking forward to returning on another Friday to fulfill my lent fish fry craving! read more
We had a good time here. We ordered a couple flights of beer that turned out to be really good. The pours are generous. We also got some of their chicken strips. Get these!! They are different than most and in a super yummy way. The staff were friendly. The place has a lot of seating and a bar. Go and have a good time. Cheers! read more

First time here. Food was amazing. My husband got the stuffed French toast, I got the breakfast flatbread, my kids got the kids bacon cheeseburger and the kid pizza. No complaints on anything. Only reason 4 stars is because the service was horrible and we were the first people there. Only came to the table if she dropped something off. Other than that we had to call her over. No excitement or anything either, maybe she was having a bad morning or something, not sure... read more

Food was tasty both times we have come here with our two kids a toddler and an 8 year old everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the tacos and they were delicious and my husband has had the burger and my kids the flat bread pizza. All of it was delicious! Only thing I would say is that I wish the tacos were made with grilled shrimp instead! The breading was pretty thick! But the flavor was great! The service was wonderful, waiters are attentive and friendly. The place is super super cute, modern decor and hip environment! I think it's suitable for everyone! read more

Hi Frankie, thank you for bringing your experience to our attention.…
Love the happy hours specials! Lots of options to choose from on the bar bites and shareable menu, plus drink specials. Service is friendly and food is quick! I overheard the bartender talking about a German beer they have on tap, being the oldest made beer still in production, 1040 AD. So I asked him about it and he gave me a sample to try. Awesome! A little banana forefront, not too bitter on the end. The sour I tried was good, but not as 'sour' as I'd like. Nashville hot popcorn chicken was really decent-- considering I like my spice and most places disappoint. This one was fried right and tossed nicely in a flavorful, spicy sauce. Cheese curds were your basic Certco or other food service but I really appreciated the tomato basil sauce that accompanied the curds. (I'm from Wisco so I'm pretty picky about my curds...) Very large and modern facility with clean restrooms. I would definitely come here again when visiting my friend from Schaumburg! Plus-- really close to ikea and the mall. FYI-- it is attached to a to a hotel, but you can hardly tell from the interior. read more

Beautiful restaurant with a lovely patio area. The food presentation is very beautiful and the quality of everything was delightful. No complaints about the food or the service or the overall atmosphere. I would definitely recommend coming here. My only very small cons are very minor... The pickles are very spicy! I wasn't prepared for that. The barbecue sauce is also a bit spicy. I don't mind a little zesty flavor, but it was a little more spicy than I expected a Classic BBQ sauce to be. The bathrooms here are also very spacious and beautiful read more

The crab rangoon mozzarella sticks and sauce, so good! Bacon, potato casserole and breakfast tacos were also good. Cheddar grits were a little dry. Speedy service and the mimosa flight is so good! The look and feel of the place is great as well. So much good lighting, colors etc I went for brunch but would definitely return to check out their dinner menu etc read more

Nice and convenient spot adjacent to Hyatt Regency hotel. Great beer variety and food options. The ordered items were tasty and what I liked the most were the fries and queso dip with chips. Visited 3 different nights, sat at the bar, and customer service was great one night as our servers were super attentive, but the one last night, not only were the servers distracted, our drinks were not prepared well. The place served its purpose while visiting the area. I'd come back for the food thou. read more
