Great place for a beer and a burger. Smash burgers are great. !!! Super atmosphere - local establishment read more

Pretty good time here. Nice live music on a slow Saturday night. Smashburgers are a good choice. From the outside, it looks like a gambling first place - which is misleading. I'll be back. read more

OY... I came here tonight for karaoke. Not much fun with just 2 singers. 4 guys at the bar and 2 women. The music 2as sooooooo loud! I ask3d the DJ to turn it down, and he said the bartender wanted it up loud ! Just ridiculous. The only saving grace here is that the burger was decent.. This has to be the most ridiculous and useless layout I've ever seen! There are tables right up against bar stools. I hate to see what happens with a crowd. SOMEBODY CALL JOHN TAFFER!! read more

My husband and I were in the neighborhood and decided to check the place out and have a day date. The place was pretty empty, which I loved because of Covid, I don't want to be around a lot of people. We ate on the patio, just us. The food was good and the the drinks were strong. We will definitely be back. read more

Prior business wasn't too awful but new, name, new Game and decor kicks this place up a notch. Nice beer garden, and very clean interior decor. Still has the great fireplace and a few things that will remind you of the old place. However the makeover is awesome. They did a fantastic job and with serving food from a real kitchen this place will thrive. They have a solid craft beer list and full bar. The menu is typical bar food but above average quality. We only shared apps and are looking forward to sampling the rest. We shared some wings, meatballs marinara and the loaded tator tots. The chili on the tots is legit and worth getting on its own. I really hope the neighborhood supports this business and people from the surrounding area patronize it. It's worth it! read more

Melinda's has a new owner and they have made some HUGE improvements. They totally remodeled the kitchen (no more microwaves) and have a brand new menu. Their SMASH BURGERS and HOT WINGS are some of the best in the area and very reasonably priced! I was surprised how fresh and flavorful everything was. Don't forget to add a side of SMASH FRIES (you won't be disappointed). They are definitely leaning into being a sports bar with good grub - which fits into the neighborhood so much better! This is going to be my go-to from now on for weekday lunches and Sunday football! read more

Great neighborhood bar, Music vibe to enjoy is always great. Pizza and beer don't disappoint. Stop and enjoy a good time with friends and family won't disappoint. read more

Landed up here last night for a get together of neighborhood friends. Nice place, it was clean and they had a good selection of crafts. Owner and her husband were friendly. Angie our server was just over the top great. This woman NEEDS to be in the front of the house. She was absolutely fantastic from the moment we walked in till when we left. Angie has an infectious demeanor and a great attitude. I hope to return just to have her as my server. read more

Melinda's Pub - Angie our server last night. - Pubs Near Me - Worth, Illinois

We came to Melinda's for Bingo. The host was friendly as well as the bartender. It was a very clean place. However the burger that was served was just average. The quesadillas were not only terrible they were the smallest tortilla shells made. For $7 and the cheese wasn't even melted. Along with my burger came tater tot's they were made by a air fryer and smelled and tasted like a chemical. So the only thing that was eaten was the burger. And my Coke. And yet the bill was with tip was close to $30. read more

I grew up in Worth, but moved to the west coast, Here visiting and stopped here to have a drink.jen E, the bartender/server is incredible! I've never had such an attentive server! As soon as your glass gets low she asks if you need anything! Also great at selling you on desserts , lol. Arlene (Mamma Spice!) Is an incredible cook and personality, she came out to visit and chat, she really cares about the place, I thought she was the owner! The meatballs an tomato bread were the best we've had in Chicago, we will be back! read more

My husband and I go to Melinda's for their great food friendly service, but most of all for Mama Spice !! lol my husband only wants to go if he knows Mama Spice is there cooking !!! Mama is definitely the face of Melinda's. !! We go there for her and her cooking,because she's so welcoming and friendly!!! Thanks Mama for ALL you do !!! read more

Atmosphere has changed dramatically the cook/manager Arlene. She has a bad attitude Not very friendly!! She pick and choose who she welcome! If she works the bar very rude if you have more than one bingo winner cards She questions you! The people that come here to bingo night are a great group for the caller Tom, if it wasn't for him this place would crash and burn. read more

Don't even bother. Dive bar, and not a very good one. Food was bland, wings were soggy, and cold in the middle like they were frozen, then quickly microwaved in the back before being plated. Beer selection was alright, but the drinks were too sugary and mostly premixed and poured into pitcher, rather than being made fresh. There is no music unless you pay for it, which is an absurd concept, a few gambling machines that looked dirty and unclean. Parking lot was a mess, unorganized, and you might catch a flat on your way out, pothole central. Overall I'd pass on coming here again. If you're starving, go anywhere else. If you're thirsty and want to drink cheap beer and watered down liquor, by all means. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I came here with a few friends, as we used to frequent the old business here, and heard it was remodeled and wanted to check it out. Not sure what happened. For being a remodel, it already smells of stale beer and urine. I had a beer, and a hamburger that was greasy and not very appetizing and made me almost sick to my stomach. The men's bathroom was already half destroyed and my girlfriend said the women's wasn't much better. I asked the owner, who seemed to be doing more drinking than managing, about the situation, and he just told me to "go somewhere else if I didn't like it". So we left. read more

First time in for me and my boyfriend and YOU have to go! It's the cutest little spot with a nice patio and amazing food. The pizza is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing, and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. read more

Great Place! Friendly, attentive service. Really clean! Great food. BLT was a huge hit. Burger, wings and tacos were really tasty. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. We will definitely be back! read more

I always like to support the local business. Melinda's does trivia on Tuesday. The gentlemen running Bingo is horrible. Calls 2-3 numbers at one time, and is very disrespectful to the crowd! He offers winning big, yet there is no tally of how to keep score each week. read more

Great place great food and great service can't ask for anymore! Serval craft beers to choose from if you're a beer drinker and like craft beers. Food is great and reasonably priced. Wait staff is great making sure you're taken care of. read more

My friend and I stopped at Melinda's to grab some lunch. I ordered the sloppy Joe's which had a smoky flavor and were very good and the dirty rice was delish!! It was fairly quiet at the time which was nice however the wait staff was a little slow. Good food and reasonable prices! Discount for paying with cash. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. My husband and I went out for dinner to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and ended up regretting it shortly after sitting down! Not only was the owner totally drunk but he kept pushing shots and drinks on us that we made clear we did not want. We felt so uncomfortable and almost like we were being harassed! The food was less than mediocre, and the cook was almost worse than the owner! She hounded us so much so about writing a good review about her that she failed to even ask us how we enjoyed our meal. I would not recommend going here unless you're looking for a place you can be harassed at by the entire staff the whole time. read more

Way overpriced for the quality and portions of food. Paid 160 buck for 3 with an appetizer three entrees and a couple cocktails a piece. Food was meh. Got the fried fish and had to pick about 10 bones out of my mouth and about a dozen tater tots. Besides our waitress (who was great) no one even attempted to wear a mask. Decor was nice and they did a good job cleaning slot machines after people used them. Pretty sure it just opened so hopefully things turn around. read more

So glad this bar is surviving despite COVID. Excellent place with surprisingly excellent food. I've traveled the world but I promise these are some of the best wings and fries you'll ever have. They don't skimp on the drinks either. I even met the owners and they're total sweethearts. Melinda's is a true gem. Ask for Mike. He's an awesome server! I dare you to find better bar food. I effin dare you! read more
