I came in expecting a typical sports bar experience, but things went wrong in several ways throughout the evening. I rarely give one-star reviews, but Crust Brewing earned it. To skip to the end, 2-3 of our party of ten spent the night with upset stomachs or vomiting, and not from drinking to excess. The staff seemed overwhelmed and behind even though the restaurant was not full. We waited 20 min after seating for drink orders to be taken. Several of the drinks lagged long behind the others. There was not enough water for everyone to have a glass, and then the empty pitchers were collected without being refilled. Requests for refills brought one refilled pitchers when 3-4 were needed. Half of the food ordered arrived in a reasonable time. But the other items were delivered to the table around 25 minutes later, making for an awkward time while half of us watched the others eat. Those who got their food first were completely done eating by the time the rest of our food arrived. The regular pizzas and boneless wings were actually pretty good! But when the two tavern pizzas were delivered, they were so overcooked and dry they were basically inedible. (See my uploaded photos.) There was no acknowledgement by the waitstaff or attempts to correct the order. We had somewhere to be after dinner, so we opted to just choke them down rather than wait another 45 min for replacement pizzas. It was difficult to get waitstaff attention to get our checks and to go boxes. And when they came, they brought fewer boxes than we asked for. I walked up to the bar and asked for a to-go box, and was met with an eyeroll and a huff, and the box slammed on the bar with a curt "anything else?" Like I mentioned before, I was up part of the night with a sour stomach. And I found out the next morning that our friends were camped out on the bathroom floor with food poisoning. We will ne'er darken the door of this establishment again, and I suggest you don't either. read more

A little something about me: If you have a mahi sandwich on your menu, I'm ordering it! It's a done deal. And blackened mahi? Fugitaboudit. There are a few select items in life which, if offered to me, I'd eat every single day. That tasty list is short, but mahi is definitely on there. Served on a brioche bun with lettuce, pickle, tomato, red onion and something called fat boy sauce (Hey! I resemble that remark!). This sandwich was an excellent pair to my hazy, Belgian wheat beer (I know Joe. I mean, I DO know a Joe, but that's the name of the beverage if you also like unfiltered wheat ales, like me). Crust is a solid offering for a night out, especially if you just got into O'Hare, and you're looking for something to eat that's close, quick and better than most. A pretty chill place to sit and relax. It was busy that evening, being a weekend night, but still felt approachable and a nice refuge. Was this is best mahi sandwich I've had? Of course not. Was it the best mahi I've had that's 1,000 miles from the nearest salt water? Yes, I'd say it was. Pro tip: Spend the extra $2 and spring for the sweet potato tots as your side. Many of the dishes come with Parmesan ranch fries. Sound delicious, don't they? Well, you'll be sorely disappointed. This advice came straight from our server who I genuinely believe was not trying to upscale me to get the extra $0.20 tip. He literally brought out a comparison plate to help me decide. (Great server!) Go look at my photos. It's not even close. Would I go back to Crust for the mahi? Maybe. Would I return solely for the sweet potato tots. Fo' sure! I also had the opportunity to taste the fish tacos. Solid. Crust Brewing has a nice selection of beers, as you'd expect from a brewing company. I also appreciated how the menu is short and to the point, offering solid American fare, but not overwhelming to the senses. They have a couple taco options, salads, sandwiches and wings. They also have pizza. I actually think they are known for their pizza, but I can't speak to that because, well, mahi! Seriously, once I get a taste for something, I need to put it in my mouth any chance I can get. read more

Made Crust our groups meet spot before an event near by!! They have a great selection of beers and liquor! We got a pretzel and fries to share while everyone showed up!! Lots of tables, bar seats and booths!! Staff was very helpful and kind!! read more

Went here for a company after work event. Hummus was good. Veggie plates were good. There were various pizzas on the burners. The truffle one was really good. Chicken wings are good too. There are a couple of long bar height tables for us to gather and chat around which was excellent. We also took some nice pictures around the inflated Santa. Not sure if I will be back for my person reasons read more

When in Chicago, even suburban Chicago, you think pizza. Right? More specifically Chicago style deep dish pizza. Well, if you want that style, Crust Brewing doesn't make it, but they do make an incredibly amazing Neapolitan-inspired, wood-fired pizza! Yeah, I was disappointed when they didn't have deep dish, but not for long. I had the Hogs & Kisses. It has pineapple and pancetta. I wasn't familiar with the style of pizza. Lots of the cheese is not melted, still, I would have to say it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life. Matter of fact, I think it was the best!! Nothing like it anywhere I've been. Yes, it's even better that Chicago deep-dish IMHO. The vibe is great. Shoutout to the server, Leticia. She was fantastic and made my dining experience exceptional. If you're staying near O'Hare, do yourself a favor and get over here and treat yourself to some great pizza! Oh yeah, it's a brewery, so there's that part, too! read more

Crust Brewing is a solid brewpub find! The open, airy seating made for a relaxed vibe with plenty of room to spread out. Portions are generously large and the food arrives piping hot. The buffalo macaroni pasta was a standout--creamy, spicy, and loaded with flavor. We also enjoyed the solid beer selection with an 8-beer flight that offered great variety and was absolutely worth the money. Everything felt fresh and satisfying. Friendly service and a casual atmosphere make it perfect for a laid-back meal with craft beer. The location is right out the airport so id highly recommend stopping by before or after a flight! read more

Was in area for concert series, so eating dinner with friends. Ordered appetizers, drinks, and pizzas. Appetizer (cheese curds) was good, would try something else next time. Pizza was good, but crust was like rock. Service was ok. Ambiance was brewery/bar. I am not a beer drinker so I am more a tag along. I would go back if I was in the area for something else. read more

First of all the food is made fresh order. It is amazing! The beer is great as well and the staff are super friendly. We went during a not very busy time so we didn't have to wait at all, and we sat at the bar. We are not from the area, but we will definitely come back to this restaurant when we venture out this way again. I absolutely loved the atmosphere. It was very classy, but laid-back as well and extremely clean. read more

I dined at Crust March '25. I took a look at the menu thinking it was just pizza, however I was mistaken. Service was good and attentive. Atmosphere was comfortable. Now let's talk about the food.. I opted to step out of my comfort zone and try the short ribs with broccolini and mashed potatoes. Wow!!!! This was a hefty and delicious portion! The lemon accompaniment to the broccolini fit perfectly and really made the dish stand out. For the price, you cannot beat a meal like this. I shall definitely return and try other dishes next time I am in the area. read more

I'm not a beer girl so I can't help you with your beer selection beyond noting that the staff is very knowledgeable and will help you find something you will enjoy. Now the pizza? I'm your pizza bestie! But I'm from St. Louis and our pizza is kind of.....iffy. #SorryNotSorry This is good pizza - nice, crispy crust, artisan toppings and combinations, including personal fave The Fig! Although, can we stop putting arugula on hot pizza? Maybe 1 bite and then it's a wilty mess. The apps are top notch! Burrata Baby delivers creamy burrata, tomato jam and more arugula but at least it's not hot! Extra credit for a patio in Rosemont that is actually pleasant to sit and enjoy! It's not Lou Malnatti's but it's a good menu on a nice patio. read more

While the food was pretty good, the drinks and service left plenty to be desired. Sadly our server was quite dismissive when I asked about gluten free options, and was not very attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant itself is quite nice - lots of private rooms available for events, a good size bar, and a small ice cream shop by the exit. read more

Been here a few times now, most recently for their happy hour. It wasn't too busy and our waitress was great. Can't beat $5 beers and $10 pizza! read more

Pretty cool spot to checkout if you are in the Rosemont area. If you get there early enough, you can score parking right out front. If not, they offer validated parking in the garage which is awesome. It's a pretty cool brewery with a few options to choose from that folks would be happy with. I had their peach sour and mixed it with raddler which was ah-mazing. Highly recommend. Their cocktails are strong and good. Old fashion was tasty. Here's what I ordered for good: Nachos-Amazing and plentiful. However, it packs spice so if you are sensitive tell them no jalapeños! Wings-chili lime. Pretty good but I would try a different flavor. My friends raved about their wings and ordered buffalo, and bbq. I was too full to try. Popeye pizza-decent. Seemed bland. Tip: they give you so much food so be prepared for leftovers or just share. It's a great problem to have. Shoutout to our server Jocelyn who kept us laughing with full bellies and made our night epic. I would go back again for the wings! read more

Portions are large. Onion rings are fine. The traditional wings are better than average - it was juicy. The sweet soy was good and the buffalo was not over powering. Pass on the mussels. The poke taco though deserves special mention. read more

This place is mid. The food is kinda pricey, those 10 wings pictured were $13 and they are TINY. Fine for a snack lol. Their tea was freshly brewed but it was weak. It's also in the most annoying place to get to in Rosemont. They do validate parking. The tables and menus were sticky and the bathrooms were not the cleanest. I felt like I needed a shower after being in there. I'd steer clear. read more

Crust brewing is in the popular Rosemont shopping entertainment district (right near O'hare . This restaurant offers a variety of pizzas and beers and wings. Great for hanging out as groups and for parties and appropriate for all ages. in the evening they have live music. I just thought the pizza was just ok for me though I'd be willing to go back to try it again. I appreciated that they let us stick around to chat after finishing eating. Very buzzing atmosphere. Oddly, our Pizza came out before our drinks and our wings . Beer was just average for me. #pizza #brew #beer read more

Stopped at Crust Brewing after shopping at the outlet malls across the street and before a concert at All State Arena. What a great spot to hit up! Free parking was hard to come by, but there is plenty of parking in the paid garage across the plaza. We split the spicy cheese curds and pesto chicken sandwich. The food was delicious! I also really enjoyed the blueberry beer local tap. We would definitely recommend. read more

It's a mixed concept here with an onsite microbrew, pizza oven, and sports bar. They even have an ice cream bar at the entrance. It is also one of the later kitchens in the Williams entertainment district to close on the weekend. Prices are a bit higher here especially for lunch. Pizzas and most entrees run over $20 while appetizers are in the teens. I think the pizzas are standard in taste. They also have a build your own entree option with multiple bases and toppings that can add up dollar wise. As for the microbrews, I've only had the radler and the wheat beers. They seem to have a similar taste profile to what Goose Island would put out. read more

Used to LOVE this place. Looks like they updated their menu, and the change is not good. They got rid of The Popeye, and the pepperoni pizza comes without mozzarella cheese. Just sauce on bread with a few dollops of ricotta. SUPER disappointing. Asparagus pizza was gross, and I'll reiterate again. The pepperoni has no cheese on it. The drinks were not good either. Our server randomly walked up to my table and asked if we were ready to order. No "hi I'm going to be your server, what can I get you..." I don't know what happened to this place, but I'm now hesitant to go back. Not with this new menu. read more

The focus here is on the brewing. While they do have both red and white sauce pizzas, they were not very good and things just came out sloppy. The beer was good - so I would say if you want some snacks while you drink after a comedy show or movie when in this spot, then check it out. read more

Service was attentive until it wasn't. (I'll explain in a moment). Environment is super loud. We walked in and they had one man show bad which was nice but so loud you couldn't hear the person across from you. And we were to the side and in back of the stage. Okay for food: I eat ALOT of salads and the "too the moon" sounded like a great salad but what I imagined and what came out did not match up. Simply put there was suppose to be arugula but it was really a large bowl of spinach. The tomatoes were mixed cherry tomatoes served whole and the dressing was suppose to be a champagne vinaigrette but it was loaded with a spicy vinaigrette that was so spicy and soupy the salad was impossible to eat. I explained to my waiter that it was too spicy to eat and his response was yep, that's our champagne vinaigrette. So my meal went untouched. You'd think he'd offer to make something else or at minimum take it off our bill. Nope. The make your own meal salmon with potatoes and broccoli came out looking like it would be scrumptious but it too was underwhelming. It had no flavor. The shrimp tacos and steak tacos were good but nothing to remember. And the plate of fries app along with the spinach and artichoke dip were pretty typical. We ordered the Hazy beer. It smelled great and taste we decent again nothing special. Overall service was good until we got our food. We probably will not be back. read more

Great pizza and salads. Decent beer selections. Service is on par at the bar at lunchtime. Dinner service is hit or miss. It's close enough to O'Hare and good for lunch or dinner if you are staying in the area. Prices are reasonable for the area. Parking is comped in the garage or try and get street parking. read more

Known for their pizza and acquaintance and I decided to try their mushroom truffle pizza. Now the sever warned us that you have to love both mushroom and truffles because this can be over powering. He wasn't lying. Boy were we in for a treat. I personally love both - but this took it to a new level lol. It's one of those flavors you love or hate. There is no in between. The wings were really tasty and a decent size. I'd return for the wings for sure. There's a nice crunch from the bake wings that I love and the flavors of sweet soy and Parmesan poked through amazingly. They just started serving mocktails in a can andddd they serve ice cream. Be sure to check this place out. read more

I AM SO BETRAYED. My wife and I have been coming here for a trivia date night on Monday nights for several years now and we always get a fry basket to split and a pizza. The fries are out of this world amazing. It's embarrassing that my wife and I split this giant basket, dipping the perfectly cooked and seasoned fries in a spicy ranch dip. I once said to my wife, "Some people mourn not knowing when it will be the last time they they pick up their child. I mourn not knowing when I will be eating my last basket of Crust fries." And then the unthinkable happened. For no apparent reason, Crust changed their menu ever so slightly, but enough to REMOVE the fry basket (now it's small side) and worst of all get rid of the spicy ranch. Why? WHY? WHY???!!! It's a dip. The bottle can't take up that much room in the kitchen. Please do the right thing we restore the generous fry basket or at least bring back the ranch. And the Mr. Steal Your Burg cheeseburger pizza! It was so unique! Why is it gone? This will be a five-star review once these issues are resolved. I seriously love you, Crust. You've added so much to my life and given us so many fond date nights. Don't go changing to try to please out-of-towners here for a convention. We love you just the way you are, er, were. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. read more

I was here for a party and although the service started slow, it ended strong. The place is huge and can definitely house plenty of people but with that said it's loud and hard to talk. Their brewed beers were okay but not my favorite. I drank the hazy which was average to me. It was missing that citrus finish that I love about hazy beers. The food was great from pizza to wings and short ribs to gnocchi. The overall vibe in the place was lively and worth a try. read more

Great big space; hunny out at the outdoor front patio on a beautiful day; servers were quick and friendly to our large group. Drinks were a tad slow but we were a large group...and they were yummy once we got them. The variety of pizzas were very good (thin crust for the win!)...LOVED the strong like Popeyes pizza, Not Yo Kid's Pepperoni & the butcher pizzas, Other appetizers were yummy (pretzel bites, spicy cheese curd. Great place to hang out! read more

What I expected... typical below par Midwest food. My husband only wanted pizza so we came here. For a pizza lover, he said it was okay. I didn't try his chicken pesto pizza since it looked pretty heavy for me. I got the dry rub wings. It was okay..not the best. It was covered in dry rub that didn't taste like anything! I kid you not. It was like a bland rub. The chicken was good but it was too much for me. I also got the fries which tasted like it was sitting out for a while. I know those weren't fresh. Service was okay. Hostesses didn't even greet us when we got in. They were pretty much just standing there in their own little world. Ambiance is okay. Probably busier on weekends. Rosemont is not easy to keep businesses going here. I think this use to be the hofbrauhaus that closed. Not so sure if this place will stay awhile after seeing how empty it was. read more

I had stayed in rosemont for the night and decided to check this place out and honestly the food was so good! I was really satisfied with what we got and the place looked really nice. The only thing I will say is that the girls at the front (hostesses) didn't seem very welcoming... they kinda mean mugged us when we walked in and the server wasn't the best. But all in all I'd come back just because of the food. read more

So after reading previous reviews, I had a feeling what to expect. I feel like everything in this Plaza is higher priced due to location near airport. We sat at the bar on a Sunday night. It wasn't that crowded, but there was only 1 bartender. Multiple bar backs assisting with cleaning and running food. Wings were tasty. We got Buffalo and had a nice heat. Beer was ok. Opted for no pizza due to price point. read more

Super nice location. Came for outdoor seating on a nice day out and they had tables available. It was a little busy but our group didn't mind waiting our entire time we were there. Drinks: Very berry mule 8/10, good flavoring but just a little sour Ginger beer, 10/10, just your add on to the mule Food: Pepperoni Pizza 7/10, supposedly wood fired pizza but didn't seem like it. Pizza was pretty greasy. The papering was good and sauce was okay Burrata Crostini 7/10, I was expecting more for $19 even thought this was a shareable I mean not much to share from one burrata. Flavors were good though. I liked the tomato jam Overall would come back the service was great even if it did take a little. read more

Have been here several times & have yet to be disappointed. The ambiance is of a modern restaurant, equivalent to a Downtown Chicago feel. Service is prompt, depending on how busy they are & all staff are friendly. Fare options are plentiful as are libations. The pizzas are great & we also enjoyed the Steak Frites. They brew their own beer so allow yourself a flight & explore the different flavors. Menu items are reasonably priced & would definitely recommend this establishment. read more

This review is solely for my experience at the bar. I came after dinner from a different spot nearby to grab a drink. The bartender was very friendly but I was pretty disappointed in their beer selection. My husband got a flight, so we were able to try all options. No one in our group was a fan of the beer. I think it was really overpriced for the quality of the beer too - $8.50 for a pint of bad beer isn't the best. I did see someone's pizza and it looked good. Maybe I'll come back and try the food. read more

Terrible, first time guest and the last, The Server "Stephine" was either very new or not good. she was not attentive to our table, there were 8 of us, three of us ordered Wings, they were delivered to our table over a 10 minute span, One order was a chicken sandwich plain, it came with everything on it, two stake sandwiches, one was delivered and one we never received. After 7 of us finished our meals (20 minutes later) they brought out the other stake sandwich. Also twice they brought someone else's food to our table. after all of this Stephine brought the wrong bill to our table. this all created a bad experience read more

Had a good time during my visit! Came here to have dinner with my boyfriends family the day before the 4th of July. Outside was crowded with people as there was a concert and fireworks afterwards. I believe this place used to be the German bar before so it was amazing to see the transformation. I thought the interior was beautiful with the brick walls and high ceilings. The bar area was pretty big too. Also it is very loud inside so kinda have to yell. We ordered 2 apps and 4 pizzas to share among 5 people. We should've just ordered 3 pizzas but leftovers are no biggie. They told us they were behind in the kitchen so the wait for pizza was ganna be about 30-40 min which was fine cause we were in no rush. They brought out the pizzas one at a time like 10-15 min apart which I thought was kind of odd. You would think if you made an order, it would be thrown in the oven at the same time.. The pizzas we got were the standard, not yo kids pepperoni, the philly and the butcher. My fav was the Not Yo Kids Pepperoni then 2nd place would be the Philly. Overall decent pizza! read more
