Came to this humble looking bar in Alsip. Dakota Inn has been a long time hangout for locals. It…read moremay not be pretty, but it's got cheap drinks, which is the most imports thing. Also kind of dusty and musty inside. The parking lot also sucks. Basic dive bar. It's got what one would expect. There's beers, greasy meaty food, and old regulars. Gets busier on the weekends with more fun. It's about $4 for a basic cocktail, such as whiskey. Food is mostly greasy and meaty. It's about $10 for things like burgers and other sandwiches. Basically it's beef or fried chicken. There's also wings. Among the sides are fries. The kitchen often isn't even open to be honest. Even have to be careful pulling into here because it's a tight fit. It's got a cramped parking lot. This is located on Pulaski close to the Jewel-Osco and other things.

There is no clear sign on where to go to pick up an order. Both both tenders may ignore you (they ignored me) The kitchen staff was friendly though and helped me pick up my order. My salad was very mid. Large portion, but zero taste. Based on the reception I would likely not return. The pictures of their other food looks tasty, but I doubt I would return. Reception is everything.

The Whistle is a great place for watching games or any sports. Maybe just get better food. You can find crap tons to get but it could be too complicated for the chaotic kitchen. Crowded when we got in. It's got a few big ass TVs so you can watch tons of games going on. There's a lot of areas for tables. Along the walls were the more personal ones for couples. There's also a long bar but there was no room there. It has a lot of specials including Teeling Small Batch whiskey shots at $5 on Mondays. There's a crap ton on the menu including tacos. A lot of things to choose from. It's about $11 for the Vegetable Tacos. A great choice among the vegetarian options. These are topped with avocado, cheese but I left it off, lettuce, onions, peppers, and pico de gallo, filling stuff. Great place for hanging and being crazy. It's got another location in Oak Lawn so have fun there too. The service is kind of slow but they're usually slamming so whatever.

Went on a Friday nite and the music was blasting so high that every single person at every table…read morewas yelling at each other to hear above the music! It was ridiculous why the music needs to be blasting so nobody can have a conversation. I was with three other people and I know I only heard maybe half the conversation of the nite! The good news was I was able to walk up to the bar and get fast service even though the bar was full. Now for another downer: being an Irish establishment, I ordered a corned-beef sandwich that was terrible! The beef wasn't sliced but rather ground up and was loaded with salt to almost be inedible! Anybody with high-blood pressure that shouldn't have salt shouldn't order this! I was told that they have really good hamburgers which I should have listened to that advice. I didn't see pizza on the menu which is just as well, seeing Beggar's is across the street and is the bomb for pizza where they couldn't possibly have better pizza than Beggar's! From now on if we go there it will only be on a weeknight and hopefully the music volume will be conversational. A good thing is that they have Yuengling Beer on tap that was just introduced to the Midwest!

The brunch menu is so good and definitely worth going for, but they also have great dinner options, which makes it a place you can come back to anytime. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food, and it shows in both the quality and flavor. The service was just as good. The staff is super friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcomed the entire time. It never felt rushed, and they were always around when we needed anything. The ambiance is one of my favorite parts. It has that cozy Irish pub feel but still feels lively and fun, whether you are there for brunch or dinner. It is the kind of place you can sit, relax, and really enjoy your time. Overall, just such a great spot with amazing food, great service, and a really good atmosphere. Definitely a place I would recommend and will be going back to.

Very knowledgeable of the menu with questions I had. On Tuesday it's $2 steak or chicken tacos with cilantro, onion and cheese. It comes with a side of homemade salsa Verde and you can get pico de gallo for an extra fee. Domestic beers are $1.50 during happy hour from 3 to 6. With two beers, seven tacos and a side of pico the bill was $18. Well worth it. Wednesday is half price pizza. This is a nice little local place with good food and drink options.

After receiving a recommendation for The Ridge Bar and Grill in Chicago Ridge, we decided to make…read morethe 30-to-40-minute drive, and it was worth every mile. The interior leans into a classic, welcoming bar vibe--this is a true neighborhood bar that happens to serve incredible food, rather than a restaurant with a bar. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Kate. She immediately treated us like regulars who had been coming in for years. After telling her it was our first visit, she sat us down and recommended the Southwest Eggrolls, which absolutely did not disappoint. We also ordered the Garlic Parmesan boneless wings; they were incredibly tasty, delightfully messy, and thankfully served with plenty of napkins. For our mains, we ordered the Ridge Burger, the Frisco Melt, and the Mushroom Swiss (to which I added bacon and this was REAL bacon, not that fast food bacon) for $17 each. The menu notes that the patties are a premium blend of chuck, brisket, and short rib, which translates to an incredibly juicy and flavorful burger. As someone whose biggest pet peeve is an untoasted bun, I was thrilled to find that The Ridge grills theirs to perfection. Each burger was a standout in its own right. For sides, we added the fries, tater tots, and sweet potato fries ($3.00 each). The tater tots were the absolute star of the show, followed closely by the fries (Kate even agreed that the tots are her personal favorite!). Huge thanks to Kate for the warm hospitality and great recommendations. We will absolutely be back!
