really enjoyed my experience here. really haven't been to a place like this in chicagoland before. like your average neighborhood urban dive bar with a plus size patio and pretty good seafood. had fried group for $11. and blackened catfish dinner for $15 that camp with shrimp chowder. vesuvio potatoes and even green beans! kinda reminds me of a joint you would see down in Florida. can't wait to return.

The Marlin Bites are awesome. The "cheesy broccoli soup" was missing the "cheesy." But the Marlin Bites were so great.

Burger Antics is one of the most fun and delicious burger spots in the area. They're always coming…read moreup with creative, flavorful combinations, one of my favorites had a ramp chimichurri that was so good I actually asked for a to-go container to take some home. The burgers themselves are top-notch, great blend, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The drinks are also excellent, with a solid variety to pair with whatever you order. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which just adds to the experience. It's a place that clearly puts thought and creativity into everything they do, and it shows.

Disclaimers: - No…read morethe inside isn't the biggest. I was a bit hesitant about that before going as well. - Yes it's really only a burger joint. They have different appetizers and things but not a super extensive menu Do not let these things deter you tho. They're just facts. This place was pretty delicious. Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice

All right, so I left everything about this place. I love that they have a to-go ordering option so…read moreyou could come in and just use the kiosk and place your order and be on your way and see all the pictures which I really like. and then everything about our experience was great. they sat us right away. there's two sections to the restaurant. it's rather big inside and it's absolutely gorgeous. I really like the stained glass window. all the pink and really girly aspects to the vibe and they even decorated it with a pink skeleton for Halloween. I really like all their creative touches now to the drinks. this time I didn't order any food but the chaquilis Mexican dish I forget how you say it. it looks really really yummy. I ordered an iced pistachio latte with pistachio cold foam and then I asked them to put pistachio cream and the nuts around the rim of the glass and it was life-changing. it was so yummy! my friend ordered a boba tea and she really liked hers too. it was the first time that I saw boba tea with whipped cream on it but I wasn't mad about it. it looks super good. I can't wait to come back and have another pistachio latte and hopefully they bring back the cereal Lucky charms latte because that look like it was insanely good.

The decor and theming of the restaurant is cute and the best part…read more The service was hit or miss. I came in with a large group and we were seated right away. She took our order quickly, but we waited quite some time to get our drinks and food. Our drinks came at the same time as the food, so we sat there for quite a while without even water at the table. I also found it odd that the water cups were styrofoam...just a bit inconsistent. Also not all the members of the group enjoyed their food. One of the plates was completely cold. Not sure I would go back.

Today I ordered several things 1) white chicken dinner w/fries, 1) whole chicken dinner w/fries and 2 (8oz) pieces of fish. Arrived home to feed my furbabies and I sat down to eat for the first time today. I pulled half the fish off and almost gagged it was so salty. I thought maybe it was me, so I asked my spouse to taste it same thing SALTY. I called the store explained I'm only calling to let you know the fish and chicken purchased was too salty. The girl immediately says the chicken and fish come like that. The fish comes in a box and we get the chicken from a farm. Not once did she apologize for my experience or even say I can let the manager know. I was shocked by her response to my next question I asked who seasons the fish and chicken for flavor again she repeated her mantra. I was so annoyed I hung up my phone knowing not only will they lose me as a customer but my spouse and our friend who live and frequent this location. An apology goes a long way even if you're limited to do nothing else. Sorry I have to give this location one star but I'm sitting with a headache from half the fish and trying to eat my chicken leg. Shame on you

It was nice to see all of the servers and bartenders working together to help each other out. We visited on a night when they had a DJ playing, which added to the lively vibe. The tables were a bit sticky, and when we mentioned it, our server acknowledged they were aware and that new tables had been ordered. The highlight of the night was definitely the burger. I 100% recommend trying one! You could taste the freshness in every bite, with gooey melted cheese and a perfectly cooked patty. Overall, a great spot for drinks, good food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

I went on a weekday for lunch. The server said we can seat ourselves. For the chicken tenders, I…read moreasked to get them with buffalo sauce. They don't toss, but give you the sauce on the side, which I was fine with. I asked for blue cheese crumbles, and they put a nice amount. The side salad is huge, and really good for just being a side salad. My only recommendation is that they overload it into a small bowl, so it's hard to eat without it falling out . I recommend a larger bowl. The server was friendly. I gave it 3 stars because it's absolutely filthy! I came right when they opened on a weekday, and the floors weren't cleaned from the night before. Literally food in the corners. Also, the table next to me filled with crumbs. When a group sat there, they wiped all the crumbs with their hand-eek! The table is so grimy that it's literally sticky! If you look at the trim, gate, condiments container,lights, and furniture- you can see loads of dust and grime. This place needs a GOOD clean down!
