If you have a long layover I highly suggest making your way over to the Cubs Bar and Grill to grab a couple drinks and a Chicago dog! Our flight kept getting delayed and we had a meal voucher from the airline so we were happy to see that this restaurant accepted the airline vouchers! We ordered a couple of Chicago hot dogs and some beers to relax while we watched some recaps on the TV. The bartender was great! He kept checking up on us and made sure we didn't need any refills. We hung out for a bit after we closed our tab and we're never rushed out. I really appreciated that! They have a dining area too so I put can sit down and have a meal if you didn't want to sit at the bar. They have a great menu with American classics but if you're looking for dessert this is not the place! Unfortunately they didn't have any sweet treats! read more

I tried a tuna panini there. HUGE mistake! The sandwich was served cold, cheese wasn't even melted. The tuna filling was an a concoction which was mostly mayonnaise. Simply awful. You should make your cooks eat this junk, there's no excuse for serving something so bad. The fries were cold and completely disgusting. read more

Seat yourself and then no one comes for a minimum of 15 minutes. Saw 3 tables get up and leave. Should've read reviews before going. The floors are slippery and the tiles feel greasy under your shoes. To add chicken to salad $6, okay sure but then when it comes out... $6 for this? Waiting to get the check, no one comes by to bring it or see if you need anything else. I get that we're in an airport but come on. Should've have moved further thru the airport before just settling for the place I saw. read more

The food was terrible and overpriced. Frozen burgers, fatty steaks. I just wanted a basic grilled burger. Wait staff just hanging around talking to eat other in a group - not refilling drinks. I really wish we had just gone to McDonalds or basically anywhere else. No self-respect. read more

Food is good for airport food but service is always terrible. That's Chicago Cubs hospitality for you

Great place to grab a burger between flights. Not cheap but not bad for an airport restaurant. read more

Cubs Bar and Grill - a glass of orange juice - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Yikes. It's been a minute since I threw down an ol' 1 star review, but I need to give the shout to all my fellow travelers to choose otherwise if you're in Terminal 3. I'm sure other options will top this - I just happened to be looking for a quick drink and a tasty bite because my flight was leaving soon from a very nearby gate. Ack. The menu was a little disappointing for the prices but that's to be expected with airport food, I get it. The things that rubbed me the wrong way went above and beyond pricing, however. 1. I asked the gentleman, who I must give credit for running the bar and the tables, for a Cosmopolitan. I oftentimes make sure they know it's vodka, a little cran, and triple sec. He seemed to know what it was but promptly told me it would be TWENTY-SIX $26!$ dollars for that. Umm. Okay, I'll take a White Claw instead. But cmon you know, $26? It's not that fancy of a cocktail in all reality. It's basically a vodka cranberry with a splash of TS. SMH! 2. I felt like I was being super rushed to make a decision about food, so I was like yeah fine, I'll take the BBQ wings. Oh lord have mercy. These suckers came out so drenched in BBQ, the plate was swimming and it had started to soften the bottom of the plate. It came with fries too, which I could not eat, but even had I wanted to, they were super dark and rock hard. At least throw some fresh fries if you're gonna drench the wings. The BBQ sauce flavor was good, I'll admit, but it was so overwhelming and a mess that I couldn't enjoy them. There were no wet wipes either so I'm just over here covered in a sticky mess. Yuck. I'm sorry guys, I just don't want you to pay like $35 for the most mediocre to bad experience of food, because if you're like me, you'd rather not eat in the airport than eat bad food that weighs you down and wastes calories. OK THAT'S IT. Maybe they'll step up their game! read more

This rating/ review is for the location in O'Hare right near G gates. I ordered a cheeseburger. I was asked how I would like it prepared. I said medium and of course it came out like a hockey puck. The location itself is ok, spacious and comfortable enough. Service was somewhere just below airport average. I can't recommend this particular location. Food would need to significantly improve. Terrible value for the price and quality of the food. read more

I should have read reviews before eating here. It was early and one of the only places I could find to get oatmeal at the airport other than McDs. For almost $11 I feel cheated. The cup of watery quick oats was barely as much as a small mug of coffee. I suppose I should feel lucky it came with raisins, a few walnuts and unripe banana slices. Yes, airport food is expensive but this takes it to a whole new low. Just pass... read more

Was in O'Hare to fly out and wanted to get some food. This is one of the few places that had plenty of seating and food options. The Food: All items are expensive but "priced" at an airport rate. So if that shocks you:.. stop:l. I got the Chicago dogs which comes with 2 dogs and fries and a green line goose island beer. The hot dogs were actually pretty good. It's hard to mess up a dog but the ingredients were good. The others at my table got the burgers and they were OK. It's a decent amount of food. One of the people at our table couldn't finish he burger because it was huge. We also came here because out of all the places, this sounded like the one that would have the best beer options... they only had 4 on draft and only 1 was a craft beer. All others were bottles. The Location: the place wasn't hard to find but one of the airport maps was wrong so walked the wrong way for a few minutes. After finding it, it was close the the bathroom and seating was ample. It's find your own seating which is nice. The Service: the staff was friendly and attentive. One guy looked confused when bringing the beers, he didn't know what table, and I asked for extra peppers on my dogs but they didn't add extra. I had to ask after I was served and they brought more. read more

Food and service are average, the TVs are terrible (it's 2010, upgrade to flat-panels already) and there are no pa speakers so you can't hear gate announcements. Poor planning on O'Hare Bar and Grill's part as well as American Airlines (the worst airline on the planet, by the way). I have yet to find a stellar meal at any airport...my search continues. read more

Cubs Bar and Grill - Chicken quesadilla - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

In Terminal 3, my wife and were deciding between Chili's and O'Hare. We opted for O'Hare. We sat down at a nice table next to the window and reminisced about our 2 1/2 day trip to Chicago. (Awesome) I ordered a Budweiser to start while we ordered and chatted. I ordered the chicken and pear panini and a side Caesar instead of the fries and she didn't charge me extra. Plus one. Our server was super nice and checked on us often. My wife got the vegetable soup. After about ten minutes they came out and I quickly chomped on the pickle spear. Man, I love pickles, good stuff. The Caesar wasn't too goopy with dressing and had plenty on shredded Parmesan on top. It was iceberg lettuce, but what are you gonna do? My panini was lightly buttered on each side and had plenty of chicken and the pear flavor was pleasant, not overwhelming, but I could tell it was there. Nice size sandwich that filled me up since I had one McDonald's parfait in the morning and a can of sardines I had left over from Walgreen's for breakfast. About 300 total calories and we walked about 5 miles since we had breakfast, and after 40 minutes on the elliptical machine at the hotel, so I was running on fumes and getting sleepy from lack of calories. I ordered a second Bud to compliment the second half of my sandwich and it made for a great airport lunch. Very relaxing and overall a great lunch. My wife loved her vegetable soup bowl, it was pretty big for $5. For the two of us, it was $41 for 2 big beers, my sandwich, and the soup and tip, and tax. Not bad for an airport lunch away from the hoi polloi while we waited for our flight. On a side note, American Airlines sucks. We arrived 2 hours early and there was a flight leaving when we got there in a half an hour that would have gotten us home 1 1/2 hours early and they wouldn't even let us wait to see if the flight was full and we could sit in 2 extra seats if they had them. The gate attendant didn't want anything to do with us to help us out. They wanted $50 a piece just to get on the earlier flight. So you had extra spots obviously, but we couldn't wait around on standby? Man they suck. I would hit this place again, but we did notice a Macaroni Grill closer to the gate we would have gone to if we had known about it. read more

Traveling every week through O'Hare I eat breakfast at this establishment whenever I get the chance. I used to recommend them as the best breakfast in town! The important part of that phrase is used to!! Today I had several hours to squander in the airport but wasn't planning on spending my day waiting for service and my order after finally being able to order it. Since I have had better here I'll consider trying them again if I ever get to eat my food. Placed order over 45 minutes ago and still waiting. After waiting an hour and seeing other people all around me getting their food I gave up left a couple dollars for my coffee and walked out to not return. Sad day since the Western Omelet was good! read more

For an airport restaurant this fills a niche. A very simple breakfast menu of about 8 omelets. Omelets about $8-$10. Weak coffee. Tables and seating with a real waiter. All eggs come with potatoes. No rye toast, just wheat or white. Polish immigrant waiter was kind to but he was half-asleep. $36 for 3 people with two coffees, after tax but before tip. read more

My gosh this place sucks in service. For as many employees they have walking around, it takes forever to get attended. If you in a hurry, grab a sandwich in front calles Great Am Bakery. The food is 2 stars also read more

Food was the best I've had in this area of the airport. Slow service, but obviously it's understaffed. Caesar salad with dressing on the side was surprisingly fresh, the hot dogs were my first and better than expected, the hamburger was an airport hamburger with fresh tomato and lettuce. read more

I could've swore the waitress gave me the finger. I only ended up here during my layover from Vegas to Michigan and I was completely hungry and I wanted to check out the latest Tim Tebow segment on Sportscenter. So I just saw this place and took a seat. I originally had an older gentleman who gave me a menu, but then a couple minutes later a pretty distraught woman in her mid 20's just seemed to be disgusted by my presence in this facility ended up being my waitress. I don't think she spoke English well, or just didn't want to bother helping me out with an order, but I ended up paying $10 for 3 pieces of french toast and some fruit. The service was insanely slow and I literally watched my whole Tim Tebow 13 minute segment without getting any attention from the waitress in a near empty restaurant. I won't be coming here ever again, just thinking about this place makes me grinds my gears. This wasn't even that much of a review, but rather a rant. Eff that woman and the horse she rode in on. read more

It's an airport bar, so keep that in mind when you patronize a place like this. That being said, our service was prompt and incredibly friendly. Our server, Peter, was attentive but not overly so, and he treated us with respect and a genuine smile. Our salad and wine were decent (again, it's an airport), and we had time to relax after a hectic week. Honestly, one of the best experiences I've had in an airport and airport bar, and I've been in a lot of them. read more

Long layover and opted for lunch here vs. one of the many chains available. Tried the greek salad, and was a first to have one with canned black olives vs. kalamata. I had planned to spend some time after my salad with a couple beers but was told by the waitress that she had to clock out and could I please finish up.... I would suggest looking elsewhere for a beer and a bite. read more

Will not be back. While traveling to San Francisco, I had the pleasure of enjoying an 8 hour layover in O'Hare. Not the worst bit of news since it is Packer GameDay. A colleague and I were looking for a place to watch the game and enjoy our lengthy layover with some lunch and drinks throughout not only the game, but the rest of our layover. About an hour into our visit, we were discussing lunch and beer options when we were asked by our waitress to order now or leave. We stated that we were not ready to order at that time, but would be staying to hopefully catch the Packer game and purchase lunch and beer throughout the afternoon. We were told that if we were not going to order at that time that we would need to leave as they "need the tables" (There were about 20+ open tables at this time). We kindly got up, left, and are now spending our money elsewhere. Echoing the statements of many of their reviews: Terrible Service, Extremely Rude -- please spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

Nasty food. I has the buffalo wings and fries. Way too salty and mushy too. Like crispy and then batter is all mushy. Watery blue cheese dressing and trailer park waitress. My expectations weren't high but my grade school served better fare read more

Says to seat yourself. I guess so you can be ignored for 10-15 minutes. Had to ask for service twice, then they brought a burger when my wife clearly said panini (not sure how you mix that up). All in all, the service is worse than the Cubs history. read more

Looks better from a distance. Had some time to kill and hungry and didn't want a fast food option. Bar keep was on older fella and a bit grumpy. I don't do grumpy and actually asked him why he was grumpy and that was the last thing he ever thought would come out of his mouth. His attitude changed after that. I have issue with restaurants/bars who service guests that they most likely will never ever see again. The service level really seems to drop to that of the Department of Motor Vehicle. Anywho, I digress. Ordered a burger and asked for a better option than a starch and grumpy suggested a Caesar salad which was nice. Salad came out in like 90 seconds which was nice but wasn't tossed which I don't like. Burger was decent and bun decent as well, but nothing to write home about. Meal sufficed but a burger, beer and glass of wine for near $40. Eh, your in an airport and like complaining about an $8 beer at a NFL game - it is what it is. read more

Food was far below average and service was almost non - existent. Airport food but there are plenty of other options besides this disappointing venue. read more

For an airport meal my experience here was good! The breakfast options offer hearty servings that won't leave you hungry. I asked for a modified omelet and they were happy to oblige(tho I must note- there was barely anyone here at the time so it must have been easy to do) I got the vegetable omelet and it came with toast and homefries(potatoes). The omelet filled up half a plate and was tasty. The price was definitely reasonable and left me feeling ready to take on the second half of my travel day. If I pass though O'Hare again, I'd come back. On a green note- The straw was compostable!! I was so happy to see this because I usually don't like to take plastic straws, they feel like a waste. I've noticed a lot of comments about the service in the other reviews. To touch on that I'd say that service was fine. No complaints here. When dining at a high volume place in the airport you can't expect perfection. read more

Located inside the Chicago O'Hare airport and is probably one of the better places to grab a hot meal. They were airing the FIFA cup games and it looked like a really chill place to be waiting for a flight. I got a bison burger! Yum, I don't see that available in many places. It was delicious and hit the right spot. The fries were meh. I tried to order a soup appetizer too but the server, who was this older man warned me that it was a large order and implied that I shouldn't order it. I guess I kind of look like someone that can't eat that much. In retrospect, I probably should have ordered the soup. For an airport meal, it wasn't too bad. I'd go back again for their bison burger. read more

Left a $1 tip on a 30 dollar bill. Got there around 9 pm and there was about 5 tables with customers. This lady waitress messed up my order, did not fill my water not once during the hour I spent there, did not respond to my multiple thank-you's n simply walked away everytime. I dropped 30+ bux in that place and I wouldn't be this upset if at least their food would have been good. The buffalo chicken sandwich was stale and soggy and their spinach salad was flavorless n the opposite of fresh. If you have the money to spend here, do yourself a favor and go to chillis down the gate hall. read more

Pretty tough service every time I've visited here. For an airport restaurant, they don't seem to have the same sense of urgency as all the travelers frequenting their establishment. Food is pretty good, and they have TV's so good to burn extra layover time, but drinks are over-priced (as expected) so can't make a night of it. read more

Very small menu, like literally 3 items. Took me 25 minutes for a breakfast sandwich.

There was a point between my first drink and my food where I think the server just forgot about me. It was about 15 minutes, that's pretty unacceptable. I saw her look at me, do the "oh shit" look, and go to the kitchen window and ask where my panini was. It magically appeared right after that. Sandwich was dismal, sounded good (chicken with pears), but it definitely had two halves of a bartlett pear from a can squished in (not even sliced). The chicken was dry and overspiced. Fries were ok. For $15 for a sandwich, fries and coke, it's not in the "cheap eats" category. Overall, pretty disappointing food, and absolutely unacceptable service. read more

Don't do it. There are so many better places to grab a bite. Service was poor, food worse. I ordered a Greek salad. Yikes. Iceberg lettuce, a smattering of regular olives (not Greek), shredded American cheeses and a tomato. No feta, no onions, no Greek olives, just some Greek dressing. I just gave up on it, it was so tasteless. My Mom ordered a three cheeses panini that was so dry, she couldn't eat it. There was such a thin layer of cheese that you couldn't really taste it. The only thing we all could eat we're the nacho chips (store bought). My husband didn't order a meal, just chips. We had a round of drinks and it was $70. O'Hare is my home airport, and I travel frequently. Eat at Macaroni Grill, or even Chilis. AVOID the O'Hare Grill at all costs! read more

Stopped in for some food between flights today. The usual, seat yourself which in this place means maybe someone will recognize you want order and actually ask you if they can help you. Food is marginal for the price but in an airport OK. Service is horrid, awful, the worst. Sat for ten minutes today, had to get my own menu and not one single waiter or waitress stopped by to ask if I wanted to order. There were a total of five people that just looked at me walked by and never said a word. I walked out and found something else. Only go to this dump if you want to waste money and take a long time to do it. read more

I fly in and out of O'hare quite a bit and always find myself killing time at the O'Hare Bar & Grill. It's a nice open restaurant. If you get a table by the window you can watch the planes go in and out & get loaded. It's always so refreshing to see baggage handlers tossing around luggage like it's a football, warms my heart really. The service is always very quick and the bar & grill. On my last trip this week I got the jumbo shrimp cocktail and the shrimp were huge and very fresh & good. This is prime spot also for people watching, which I'm quite a fan of. "Oh she looks like she's in a hurry" "what in the he!! is he thinking wearing those"......come on I know i'm not the only one. Ok so back to the Bar & Grill. The food is really good, typical pub fare for the most part. The prices are "eh", not the cheapest but they're for sure reasonable for being in an airport. I'd recommend this to anyone and I'm sure I'll be back soon. read more

Cubs Bar and Grill - Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

OK...as far as places to eat in airports in general I usually always decline. But considering that I usually am always delayed in Chicago due to my final destination being Marquette, MI. I would have to say that this place has excellent food for being inside a airport, granted the staff could be a little bit more courteous...maybe I was a bit bitter because the bartender was more googly eyed over the hottest chick at the bar then making sure my drink was tended too...and Christ I was only drinking corona's. But besides that...I mean I was checking her out too...this place is a good place to stop get a good meal and descent service in between flights or on layovers. read more

I went to the front bar at this location for my layover , and the service was good staff was friendly. Had some good banter going on about how much wine to pour and that over pouring was OK since customers liked it. Flight was delayed so I walked over to the other bar to get a drink. Bar was full, but not busy thought it would take a second to get a drink. The bartender, who could really be Kenny Powers, was fixated on his favorite lawyer customer. Cleaned out her to go mug to make a drink for her flight. I admire the great, although illegal, service. His favorite customers food order came out and she didn't want fries so despite having multiple people waiting at this time he went to the kitchen to get that straight. Since I had a flight to catch and there were other thirsty patrons waiting I decided to leave. God speed Kenny Powers lookalike bartender, I hope you jet ski off with the woman of your dreams. read more

Nice alternative to waiting to eat at Chili's or Wolfgang Puck's when waiting on a flight in Terminal 3. They have a variety of Summit beers to save you from the average tap swill. Recommend the Chicken Peach Panini sandwich; the first bite immediately brought me back to summers as a kid when we'd cook canned peach or apple pie filling in between two pieces of white bread over a campfire using those little cast iron pie makers. The bartendar was attentive and getting a beer and food was a quick process (as once would hope for in an airport). read more

I've only been here in the early morning (before 8am), but their mimosas are always delicious, food is great and service is outstanding! All airport food is pricey but this place is actually decent. The only drawback: in the morning they only have a few staff members working so wait during the rush after big flights can be annoying. read more

This place sucks. Has a full menu available but only serving cold sandwiches. Top shelf drinks for some reason taste like seawater. Sent it back came back worst. Ask to switch out for another drink the response was I apologize we can't do it for you. Well never come back to this place again. read more
