    Look no further if you are looking for a small town, feels like home dive bar. A Chicago must if I may so myself!

    U.S. MILITARY VETERANS & CURRENTLY SERVING BEWARE:…read more Myself and 5 other friends (which all happen to be fellow veterans) decided to leave the comfort of our VFW to go explore nearby bars. We decided to check this place out, when we arrived we seen a good crowd and everyone seemed to be in their mid 20's or so just like us. When our turn came up to be ID'd, a depressing unhealthy weight "bouncer" greeted us and asked for 2 forms of identification, when we surrendered our IL state IDs along with our Active Military IDs he laughed and questioned the credibility of our IDs and called them bluff! He said they were fake and there was no way 2 African American males along with 2 white males and a Hispanic one would all "coincidentally" all be veterans.. When we asked to speak to his supervisor he told us to "F##K OFF" or he would have us "DEALT WITH" .. We decided to maintain our military bearing and move forward to a bar across the street- BOBBY G's, where they did not discriminate us or anyone there based on race, color or military affiliation. TO ALL SERVICE MEMBERS & VETERANS..BEWARE! THIS PLACE IS NOT MILITARY FRIENDLY!!! .. Maybe it was just the unhealthy weight character they have greeting clients or maybe it's their actual belief. We will NOT ever consider spending one penny in this establishment! And we will announce this at the state VFW meeting that's coming up in October.

    Branding Iron surprised me, in a good way. Place was pretty chill, nothing fancy. The staff was…read moresuper friendly too, they were on it the whole time, food came out right and drinks didn't sit empty. I ordered the bone-in chicken with the mango habanero sauce. Mostly because it sounded good and I was hungry. First bite... yup, that was iit. Chicken was juicy, skin had a nice crisp, not soggy at all. Big pieces too. The sauce was the star. Sweet up front, real mango flavor, then the heat slowly kicks in. Bu just enough to make you pause for half a second. Then you go right back in. Everything came out hot and fresh. A little messy, but that's kind of the point. Fingers were a disaster by the end. No regrets. I'd go back just for that dish. Haven't even thought about what else is on the menu yet. That chicken stuck with me.

    I was there 05/29 for reunion (22 guests in all) 15 guests showed up for dinner…read more Lets start, We had a reservation for 6pm table of 10 the bar tender sent us to the back to a private party. (wrong) we came back in and explained to them we were not here for the party we had reservations for a reunion. bartender and servers look like deer in head lights didn't know what I was talking about. after a few minutes and more of guests arrive then finally oh yeah reservation. Lets put tables together so I helped the server put 4 tables together. Im going to make this long story short My food was tasty but cold (i had the pasta) half of the guest received appetizer plates the other half were given nothing. (we did finally get them 30 - 45min later) Half the guests received a dinner knife and fork folded in a napkin the other half received plastic knife and spoon in plastic wrap. One of the main reasons for my yelp review is the male bartender after being ignored for some time he was finally coining to me I thought to take my order NOPE., " I was told you can't stand there its for servers only" Then continued to get ignored. funny story, while I was at the bar being ignored I notice another patron had ordered the same pasta dish I ordered, OMG the steam coming out of that dish. I wish my pasta dish was that hot. What I don't understand around 6pm there a very few customers inside the bar and like 4 to 5 servers and one bartender. So why so slow to get us our table to get us all plates and to give us all proper utensils. The Good : As already mentioned, the food was good, wings, burgers, pasta, shrimp, avocado dip, etc but mine was cold placing our order for dinner was fast because someone was smart enough to have two servers attend us. The music was good. The atmosphere was good, no trouble, no hoods price was average to any other establishment. I could recommend anything is if there is a table of 10 or more you should one server assign to that table only help if needed. On our next outing we might come here again but hope things will be different when it comes to our service.
