The colors, chill vibe, cool staff, toms of specials, this is an easy all the time spot to go to. I had trouble choosing what I wanted because everything sounded great and seeing the plates coming out of the kitchen I wanted all of it. Everything fried was good, the shrimp were fresh and the best of everything next to the calamari. The lobster roll was so chock full of lobster. Sometimes you have to look for it among the filling, but here it was flat out lobster, fresh, cooked to perfection, absolutely worth it. The lobster bisque was one of the top I've had. It was super filling, it could be a bit thinner considering it was a little on the thick side. It did have lobster pieces inside, and again, one of my top anywhere. Will give this another go one day!

Walked in when I was having quick lunch with a friend who was working in the area, I had heard good…read morethings and wanted to try it out, however time was limited. I was sat very quickly, and the place seemed quite popular which was a good sign. Ordered some fried green tomatoes and catfish bites as they were the special of the day. While the fried green tomatoes were very good and crispy, as were my fries, the fish was definitely "questionable". It had a slightly off flavor and smell, I normally would have spoken up, but once again I was in a time crunch. My dining companion really liked his food at least, and the server was fast and attentive. So it wasn't a total loss. Addendum; I did not suffer any "gastrointestinal distress" so while the fish definitely wasn't outright bad, it was probably right on the edge of it.

The food, though, based on our order on a sunny Sunday lunch, didn't set well with us that night. The menu offered more than just fried bar food, but what we got was overly rich and salty. A side of grits was ordered, which we should have sent back; it had been overcooked so long that it had become like a greasy papier-mâché paste. Nevertheless, we would give the place a second chance because the vibe is just so cool.

We recently visited Magnolia oyster Bar. We found the place to be dark, dirty and just plain…read moredisgusting. The bartender was quite unfriendly. We ordered a beer and looked over the menu. We decided we would not eat here as it was just plain unappetizing. We paid our check for 2 Busch light bottles of beer. We were shocked at the cost. A one and done for us. Don't get me wrong, we seek out a dive bar but this was just a dirty dusty old place with no dive bar appeal. Stopped next door at Great Chicago Fire pizza and had a couple of cold beers and a great conversation with Heather the bartender. We certainly will travel back for the Great Chicago but bypass the Magnolia.

Hands-down, the very best.
