The manager even summoned us back in from the rain when we were ready to leave and welcomed us to sit back down until the downpour passed. The food was absolutely amazing! The shepherds pie was honestly the best I've ever had with its rich, thick meat filling and hearty mashed potatoes. My husband and our friends each ordered the fish and chips and finished their plates. My very favorite bite though was the smoked salmon appetizers. I will dream about those perfect little wonders for a long time!

Warm and lovely British pub with delicious pies and efficient service…read more My dining partner and I tried the mushroom and kale and the rocking vegan pies. The mushroom and kale pie was nice and cheesy and the rocking vegan pie was more savoury, with a variety of vegetables and chickpeas as stuffing. The crust was neither too soft nor too crunchy. The highlight of the meal was the curry chips: potato wedges lightly fried with masala and curry leaves. The dipping sauce that came with the chips reminded me of tikka masala sauce, and paired beautifully with the chips. Dessert was toffee pudding: the caramel sauce that came with the pudding was delectable - the pudding itself was excellent and not overly sweet. We tried a variety of NA beers, and I was pleased with how many options they had. Service was quick, and we were well looked after. The ambiance is warm, with dim-ish lighting and a lot of dark wood. The restrooms were gorgeous - special shoutout to the lovely floral wallpaper. Overall, I highly recommend Pleasant House - the vibe is chill and understated and the food is stellar.

Everything I could ask for in a English pub. Great beer…read moremenu, enough different options but a clear focus on bitters, ales, pub ales, etc. Started with a scotch edge and it was delicious. The sausage was very tasty, the breading on the outside was incredibly crisp, light, and the egg inside was cooked well. Both the steak pie and the chicken pie were very good. The chicken pie I think really needed the chutney that you can get separately. But that made it so much better and made it my preferred pie. The steak and ale pie was better than the chicken pie as a standalone, but needed a bit more gravy I think to elevate it. Sticky toffee pudding again was delicious. Surprisingly light, not overly dense so I was glad it came with the custard which was very flavorful. Overall, will definitely return!

Came here for lunch with my coworkers and had a really enjoyable meal. Our waiter was super…read morefriendly and attentive so it was a good experience from start to finish. We started with the poutine to share, and it was a solid appetizer. I especially loved the pickled onions on top, which added a nice tangy contrast to the rich gravy. For my entrée, I ordered the fish and chips and was pleasantly surprised by how large the pieces of fish were. The fish was flaky, fresh, and cooked really well, while the fries were nice and crispy. We ended lunch with the vanilla crème brûlée, which was a great way to finish the meal. It had a nicely caramelized sugar topping and was a solid dessert overall. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu.

I enjoyed all the food we received, it was tasty, warm, fast, and you get a good portion. The lobster roll was good, the lamb was good and the zucchini was as well!

Make sure to bring your ticket with you! More details are on their website. The service was great and the place was clean. I loved the aesthetic!

We're back, because we love the craft beer at Kasey's Tavern…read more At first glance Kasey's presents a bit like a dive, but it's end-to-end craft beer and great people! It was nearly full mid-afternoon on a Saturday (Feb 2026) and we were lucky to find an open table! Service was quick and friendly. We had two frosty-cold craft beers: a Half Acre Daisy Cutter and a Deschutes Patagonia. The Daisy Cutter was dark orange, dry and hoppy, a "new" pale ale that is now a classic. The Patagonia was lightly golden, lightly carbonated, sightly sweet and citrusy. Of course we had another round, because we love the beer, the people, and the place :-)

Midwest bars tend to make some surprising choices about what they find interesting, and even in Chicago that's no exception; everything on the beer list seemed picked not to offend.

Other reviewers are spot on about friendly staff, nice atmosphere, clean restrooms, noise not too overwhelming, lots of televisions to catch a game. We had the Buffalo Chicken Deviled Eggs every time we went. The idea doesn't make sense - but they were soooo good! We ordered the Fish & Chips on our first visit. We were not expecting to actually get potato chips. Didn't realize until later they have french fries here, but they decided to give us potato chips. Who serves potato chips as a default with Fish & Chips? Is this a Midwest thing? Each visit, they were out of tall boy PBRs. Guess they don't restock on holiday weekends. But they did have Old Style, so no harm.

If you get a chance, please ask for her! Having read a previous review, I knew I had to have the Ruben! As you can see, it's piled high with corned beef! The fries were delicious! Trust me. There were other options but if you're a true Ruben fan, you'll order it whenever you get a chance. Total success! If you never heard of Man Vs. Food, one you missed a great show.

I ended up with a chopped salad, which turned out to be good. (Not that it contains peanuts.)

The chicken tenders were lightly breaded and good. Both fried items were not greasy. Daughter said the burger was really good. Service was a little spotty.
