The smashburger here is one of the best burgers in Chicago!! I love coming here with my in-laws and enjoying a drink and meal in a cozy bar.

Some of the food is very good,BBQ sandwiches especially. Service can be appalling at times , slow, disinterested and bordering on rude which really affects the experience. read more

Stopped in for the first time on a Wednesday after a long day at work. The hostess immediately greeted us and we were told we can sit wherever we like. Even though it was a 75 degree day I was craving soup, so I put in an order for the chicken tortilla soup and a half chicken ceasar salad. My husband ordered the jerk chicken sandwich and the brisket eggrolls. The soup was great, I would absolutely order it again and this will become a soup place for me! We enjoyed every dish that we got. We also ordered some cocktails, a whiskey neat and a spicy margarita. Everything was delicious. Editing my review to remove one star. Upon receiving my bill I noticed that I was charged for a premium tequila (casamigos) in the spicy margarita even though I did not ask for this. I asked the waitress why this was, and she asked me "oh, you wanted the well tequila?"... idk I just wanted what was on the menu lol Either way, I will still return! read more

Located right near the Metra station and boy what a find. It's just a cool, well run place and would be my go to bar if I lived in the area. Wish I could have stayed longer! Good beer list, great service, and what appears to be a great menu! read more

My family and I stopped in tonight. I think it was our second time. We had a very attentive and kind server named, Quinn. She was fast and kept her eye on our drink and did all the right things to check on upscale options. Kudos. We had good food, including the brisket and chicken tacos, which were good, but could use a bit more salt possibly for flavor. And I had a brisket sandwich, tender and delicious but I added a little salt for my taste. I enjoyed the vinegar with my fries, a sauce option on the table. And I put bbq mustard on my sandwich with the pickles. I added the vinegar to my slaw as well, and everything was pretty good. My kids enjoyed their cheezburger and chicken strip kids meals as well. I could see some college basketball and the blackhawks playing on screens around the room. 54.90 total plus tip. Worth a try. read more

City's Edge Chicago - Lots of TVs and great service!! - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My buddies and I came here Friday night for some drinks and a quick bite before Jackass Forever. We had a great time as it's filled with locals and their families. They have a nice selection of beers and some liquor as drinking options available. After a few Jai Alai's, I ordered their burger which was good accompanied with fries cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed they so packaged goods so bringing in some Coors Light was helpful for Jackass. You can park along Devon with ease. I wished they checked for vaccination cards but they did not. read more

City's Edge Chicago - Brisket burger with Brussel Sprouts - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's a friendly neighborhood joint, nothing fancy or pretentious. Had lunch here a few months ago and enjoyed a very good brisket sandwich. The Missus and I finally returned here for dinner over the weekend. Acoustic baffles on the ceiling do little to mitigate the noise level, which was earsplitting. Service was friendly but unpolished. Beginning with setups, we had to request a few items that should have been brought to the table automatically. At 7 PM on a Saturday, the kitchen was already out of brisket and pulled pork. That's okay, we wanted to try their BBQ ribs. From a run-of-the-mill list of beers on draught, they were out of the only beer that piqued my interest, a Sketchbook IPA. Our meal began with wedge salads. At $4.95 for the small version, these were generously sized and the dressing was excellent. Turns out the salads were the best part of our meal. The ribs, dry rub and not fall-off-the-bone (our preference), were no threat to Smoque or Une Année partly because the meat was rather dry. Squirting on BBQ sauce helped. We were not given steak knives and the butter knives shredded the meat. My side of baked beans was fairly standard but my Missus' sweet potato fries were pretty good. Their coleslaw is crunchy but I am not a fan of their sweet creamy dressing. Not to be nitpicky, but our server brought our check without asking if we wanted to order anything else. read more

After reading some reviews, I picked City's Edge for a dinner with an old friend. Here is the rundown of my orders: KAMIKAZE - I was puzzled when it arrived in a martini glass. Sensed my confusion, the waitress offered me a glass of ice. I took a sip... yup, all good. BRISKET EGG ROLL - They were delicious! Succulent brisket wrapped in egg roll wrap and deep-fried. What's not to love? The only issue I had was the price they charge for the size of the egg rolls. BURNT ENDS APPETIZER - My goodness! The meat was fork-tender and seasoned perfectly. It's a shame they don't offer it as an entree. HALF SLAB OF RIBS WITH SWEET POTATO FIRES - The ribs were packed with flavor and finger-licking good. Can I just talk about the sauce a little bit? There were 6 different sauces available on the table: BBQ, spicy BBQ, vinegar, ketchup, mustard, and BBQ mustard. I love the spicy BBQ which had a little kick to it but the BBQ mustard? Oh my. I would drink that from a shot glass! The mood is lively since there is a bar and music. The patrons ranging from young people who want to have a couple of drinks to a family with kids enjoying a meal. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a delightful experience. PS. Parking lot adjacent to the restaurant is only available after 6:00 p.m. There is street parking in front and nearby. read more

We've continued to come here regularly, and it's quickly become one of our usual spots to stop in a grab a meal, especially on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I especially love their egg rolls filled with things like beef brisket and, if I time it right and they still have some available, reuben and other fun fillings. This has become one of their house specialties, and they're really good! Their burgers are great, not to big and not to small, and always nicely juicy, and I love that I can get them with slaw or tots (among other choices) as alternates to fries. Their Popcorn Chicken appetizer is good, too. When I have this (as my entrée), I usually pair it with a cup of their Corn Bacon Chowder, which is OUTSTANDING! This soup alone makes it worth the visit, especially on a chilly fall or winter day! I've kind of gotten hooked on some of their seasonal drinks, such that I keep asking for them even when they're off-menu, and they always happily oblige. We come frequently enough now that they usually remember my latest drink of choice, and ask me right away if that's what I'd like. I love this, as it makes me feel at home and valued here! read more

Great Neighborhood bar & food specials! Owner operated. BBQ, brisket Family menu. Latest Beer & Wine selection! read more

Can not beat the food, staff are great, the restaurant has a great atmosphere & the prices are great

Very overpriced. Pay 2$ a wing for the worst wings you've ever had in your life. Way overcooked

My family was looking for a new go-to restaurant after a different favorite of ours closed down. I wanted to find a place that had good beer, good cocktails, good food (BBQ, specifically!), good service, and a good vibe. Oh, and good prices, too! It turns out we found ALL of these things at City's Edge! In fact, I'd say it's all great, and not just good. The brisket sandwich is delicious and generous. Their cocktails definitely have alcohol in them. The Guinness is poured perfectly. I think all of these reasons and more are why we've been there 5 or 6 times in the last 6 weeks. We've also brought my parents and my in-laws. Suffice to say, we think it deserves 5 stars. Check it out! read more

Love this place! Allison is the best Mixologist in the business! City's Edge should bottle the Vinegarette - it is Great! read more

Parking challenging however Colleen was able to guide me to the church parking area. Very clean, family friendly and smoked meat odor captivates your nose immediately. Sat at the bar to order a to-go order. Colleen brought me a water and took my order immediately. Very personable and polite staff. read more

Where can I start! The service is amazing! The food is awesome and I would personally recommend the brisket burger and fried chicken with sauce! Ambiance is great with large TVS available! read more

A very comfortable neighborhood place for cocktails, burgers, and and BBQ. Busy but not too crowded; active but not noisy.

City's Edge is a great neighborhood hangout. The food is great. The service is terrific and the people are always friendly. I've sampled numerous items on the menu and I've never been disappointed. We also rented out the whole place for a party and they did a terrific job with everything. We are CE customers for life. read more

Great neighborhood spot! BBQ is really good and the mac and cheese is addicting. Go to meet friends or watch a game and have a glass or 2.

I guess another update for this place is on order! This restaurant has surprised me as it has gotten much better over the years. They finally settled on the menu and it's all good! My family's personal favorites are the corn soup, French onion soup, wings, BBQ chips, steak sandwich, and burgers. Not sure about right now, but they run some pretty sweet specials during to week, especially for their burgers and wings. It's good to support local businesses and this is one that has turned it around to make it worth your time! read more

Hamburger with brisket was unique and delicious. French fries complimented the burger very well.. .. very flavorful meal

This is a friendly neighborhood bar and I always have a good time when I'm here! All of the ladies that have been my servers or bartenders provided good service. I love their nachos! If you go during the day, people bring their kids and it's a total family friendly restaurant. The manager seems to care about his patrons, which is a plus. If you're in the neighborhood, I say go for it. If you're not and think about driving a far distance to get here, it's not worth it. read more

Cute place that's easy to pass up on the street if you're not looking for it! The food was great, lots of BBQ options which is sometimes hard to find in the area. Service was friendly and timely. read more

Excellent food and staff, a beautiful place. The food is terrific. This is where local Catholics day drink while they sugar up their kids. It's Edgebrook's pro-alcohol playground. During my visit I know the staff talked to the parents twice. Five stars for Colleen and Shannon. They are great servers and were empathetic to my concerns. End tax deductions for breeders. Parents are responsible for all of society's issues. Teach your children to be respectful of others in public places. Go after dinner time. Or take your kids and drink and drive. read more

Trying to call this place for ribs And they don't have ribs ready and won't know what's the time wait and this is supposedly a specialist for ribs first and last time trying to order for pick up or ever walk in this type of restaurants that has chaos and no understanding of what they advertise sorry owner/manager Should be more professional with your employees and train them well read more

I have been going there since they opened and have never had a bad meal. Since the pandemic we haven't really gone out much but have been following their FB page. We saw they have started selling Detroit style pizza which we never have tried except from Jetts pizza. We thought we would give it a try. We ordered the sausage for pickup Sunday. Brought it home and ate it while we watched that great Bears game. It was one of the best Pizzas we have ever had. My wife and I grew up in Chicago and had every type of pizza Lous Barnabys Etc. I would put this right up there If your in the area give it a try. read more

Laid back place with solid food. Pulled pork, brussels sprouts, fries, and brisket tacos all get thumbs up. They serve a pretty big plate of food for a good value. The barbecue platters come with pickles and cole slaw to boot; the tacos come with corn chips, guacamole, and two salsas. I appreciate that they serve corn chowder every day; it's one of my favorite soups but relatively rare. Their version is a bit salty but otherwise tasty, and garnished decadently with two thick half-strips of bacon and a couple of french fries. Both times that I've visited there was only one bartender/server working. On a quiet spring Sunday it was no big deal, but on a busy October Saturday it led to some harried service. Kudos to the lady for getting it all done for about a dozen tables, but the management should have scheduled a second person. It's kid-friendly too, with about five options on the children's menu, for $4.95 or $5.95 each. Their beer list is weak on drafts but includes a lot of bottles and cans. Plus: a small adjacent parking lot, various sports on TV, and either neo-country (barf) or 90s alternative (yes please) tunes spinning overhead (it probably depends on the staff that day). read more

Really great beer and the food is awesome!! They have a ton of different beers in stock which I love!! It definitely is a fun time in here!! The service is exceptional too!! My favorite bartender is Shannon! She is the best!!! She is so friendly and gives great recommendations always!! Keep up the good work City's Edge!!! read more

Attended a private party here. Very nice atmosphere and an amazing aroma of smoked meats when you walk in the door. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the delicious pulled pork and fantastic mac and cheese. We'll be back for sure! read more

Seriously? I haven't left a review? This is a great spot for comfort food. Their BBQ is award winning. There's so much love in the kitchen. A great neighborhood bar giving into friendly conversation throughout. Great spot to watch your favorite sports too. Look for their sandwich of the week and scratch made soups and gumbo on Facebook. I really need to stop by more often. There just might be some weekend brunch items coming up. I'll definitely make the trip for their biscuits and gravy. read more

My first experience was this past week, I haven't had time to check them out since they became City's Edge. The previous bar, Moher, I'd been in a bunch of times. Quite a place for awhile there. Their ceiling was custom painted & it was quite a sight too. Picture a Celtic Trinity Knot expanded across a large ceiling with vivid coloring. Beautiful. There's a second beauty when you think of what the trinity stands for. But, with the change of ownership and new bar, the ceiling was painted over and covered with sound dampeners. There is new HVAC venting running across it now. It's definitely different looking. Based on their menu and surroundings, they are trying to suit those seeking a good drink and comfort foods. Not quite a gastro but with a sports pub feel. So about my food. I called in an order for wings. Had hoped for some smoked but they were already sold out. I think it was about 8 pm on a weeknight. They said I could have their regular kind and it comes in an order of 6. There aren't different sizes. If needing more, another order should be placed. They quoted ten minutes and a cost of $9.87, costly for a meager six wings. I was there in less time and home quickly thereafter. The place was loud and busy. An a-frame chalk sign at the front was indicating specials of the night; burgers for a paltry $4.. psshaw, wish I knew about that. The wings were fried frozen. How can I tell? When the meat sticks to the bone. These were overcooked to boot, so the meat was hard and frankly, fucking terrible. The wings themselves were small variety. If not for the carrot and celery sticks I would have still been hungry. I doubt those wings were prepared fresh. For all I know they were sitting under heat lamps the last hour. If takeout sucked, what's eating in like? read more

We recently visited City Edge and was extremely impressed. The service and more importantly the food were outstanding. Looking forward to going back. It has that neighborhood feeling. Where everyone knows your name. read more

For dinner this weekend we wanted something nearby, chill and not overly pricey. This place was perfect! A hidden gem that recently opened up in Forest Glen! First off, they have their own parking lot which is nice. The interior is well lit, spacious and clean. The wait staff SUPER friendly and attentive. Drinks were nice and strong and the food was excellent! It's nothing fancy, just bar food but they did add a few twists such as brisket egg rolls and smoked wings. Everything was tasty! If you are looking for a chill night with some good bar food with plenty of TVs to watch sports, this is the place to go! read more

Good food and good sized portions. This food is comfort food! When it's busy it can be hard to move around in the room but once you are seated it's easier than it first appears to get comfortable. If you live in the neighborhood you'll meet high school and college folks serving and cleaning up. This joint serves epic virgin-bloody-Mary drinks, nice at any time of the day. Great bread and potatoes that go well with the substantial main dish. Meat, fish or other proteins, all are delicious. Service is friendly and fast but not hurried. Sometimes the noise in the room is high energy and parents bring their kids for the great food at the early seatings, which adds to the neighborhood vibe. This is a nice neighborhood joint. read more

City's edge is a local Edgebrook gem. Great bbq, wonderful staff and just a cool place to enjoy.
