Morrison's Log, Third Visit, 10/19/26 After two good burgers, I ventured out into the menu with the Buffalo Chicken. I have a lot to say about this Buffalo Chicken. First is that I've never had celery in a Buffalo Chicken and I have no idea why. Now in no particular order, the rest. They start with a huge piece of chicken and cook it beautifully. If you put this chicken breast patty on my plate I could destroy it with minor seasonings. Then you put a perfect buffalo sauce on it. Each bit gives you that stank of blue cheese but not too much. It's spread evenly around the sandwich to remind you that it's a proper buffalo chicken. Did I mention the celery? This is a unique buffalo Chicken and the flavors create their own experience. Then you get just this hint of vinegar in here because you know it's red hot sauce. Absolutely fantastic. I will update if other menu items equally impress. I can't imagine how. This was fantastic. Ten minutes after eating and part of my tongue is still burning, even after several swigs of some fine craft beer. Gumball Head for you beer nuts. My ears itch, yet I can hear so clearly. Wow what a great spice. I enjoyed this sandwich so much. I am looking forward to the Cajun chicken and also the sure to be messy Philly cheesesteak. Morrison's Log, Fifth Visit Chicago Fire. This is the best steak sandwich I ever had. They were so coy when I asked for recommendations before. I found this on the menu myself. After I ordered while waiting I was told it was very popular. No kidding! I knew I was going to like it when they asked me how I wanted it cooked. It was awesome. Sweating ears ringing delicious spice with flavor not just for being hot sake. Someone here knows how to make spicy food. I will find out who. read more

Great service, food and best bartenders. Very chill place, nice neighborhood bar feel.

First and foremost, thank you Molly for always going above and beyond and for being one of the best! Food and service is amazing

Kinda of a funky fun bar with good food. Went in with a decent sized group and was taken care of quickly and efficiently. I would go back for a sandwich and to watch a game. read more

Service was slow, the server I guess had quit unexpectedly . The staff there was very apologetic and courteous. Burger was good only thing is to get fries or tots are $2 up charge. The burgers come with homemade chips. The salad tasted a little funny like the bacon was bad. Couldn't tell what else it could be because it's just cheese / lettuce/ croutons The fat burger was delicious. The beer was cold. Will try again to uodate review read more

Good food service is usually good once in a while you wait while the girls are talking or eating

I met a group of old friends up here, and we sat at the bar and caught up. It's a typical barroom restaurant, and they have the back area for gambling. I had been here with them once before, about a year ago, and I remembered liking the Light My Fire burger, so I ordered it again. It was cooked to the perfect medium that I requested, and was very good. The homemade chips were fresh tasting and excellent. Service was fine, pricing seemed reasonable. We had a good time. read more

Honestly confused on the low ratings for Morrison! My friends and I make it a weekly stop in. Bartenders are friendly and attentive and there are always people in the bar; doesn't matter what day of the week. They have a nice large bar in the middle of the room with lots of TVs making it a great spot for watching sports. Finally ordered food and was not disappointed. Large menu giving you a lot of options which is nice. I settled on the southwest chicken wrap with fries. A HEALTHY portion, I had to take 1/2 my wrap home. My boyfriend got the Light My Fire Burger which was cooked well paired with fries. We love this place. Between the great bar food, the friendly staff, we make it a weekly visit for a reason. read more

The best Santa Fe salad ever!!! Friendly staff & great neighborhood place. We do miss the pool table a lot tho!!

First and last time visiting. The kabobs were cooked right and seasoned well. The tavern pizza and burgers were average. Very friendly staff. I wish Cleo gave them autonomy to remove the cc surcharge. We spent $174 , but will not return because of the fee. read more

The food is absolutely excellent. If you like fried mushrooms, they're the best fried mushrooms around, you love burgers, the options are amazing. Reggie is the best and the bartenders. Gotta love them. The environment is great and I look forward to coming back many times! read more

Foods always great here, I wish parking was just a little better. But overall a fine place

08/30/20 - Third time isn't always a charm. I went back to Morrison's Roadhouse and ordered my usual Fat Boy Burger medium rare w/cheddar cheese, bacon & an egg over easy on top. A recipe for perfection? Well the burger wasn't cooked medium rare this time it was brown inside. What I was expecting and what I got were 2 different things. I'm sorry but nothing spoils a burger or a piece of beef for me more then overcooking it. A medium rare is still red inside, nice & juicy and succulent. I was looking at the pictures from my previous visits & literally drooling looking at the juicy succulent red burger. The burger this time was brown inside and definitely over overcooked. It was dry and really a disappointment. I haven't had a Fat Boy Burger in over a year and I was lamenting on how good this burger was to my Yelp friend Tim H. He drove all the way from Naperville to try their burger (I hope he wasn't too disappointed). Usually their burgers are outstanding. The burger prices went up as well from $11.50 to $14.00 but I guess everything going up. A sign "O" the times. The server Britney was a real sweetheart & did a great job. Thanks for making the meal more enjoyable. I just wish the burger was cooked properly and not so dry read more

Horrible service. Bartenders just cleaned and never engaged with customers. Oh, and always on thier phones

After cruising past this place numerous times and looking at other reviews, I decided to give it a shot. There's a big bar as soon as you enter, tv's spread through out the establishment, tables around the bar and another area in the back with gaming. The menu has quite a bit of offerings and it's pretty much what you'd find at other places. The burgers seem to be the highlight of the menu and I tried the real blt one with curly fries. It was good and i finished it pretty fast. Service could have been a little better but it's all good (I'm not a regular lol). I'm sure I'll check it out again to try one of the 1/2 pound burgers. read more

Everything was good. Service and food. All served hot and timely. Value pricing helps.

Went in this past Saturday for lunch and had their McDowell burger which was on the specials.It was phenomenal as was the friendly service. Please Keep that burger on your menu indefinitely!!!!!YUMYUM read more

I highly doubt I will ever return. Condom in the bathroom stall; walking to the bathroom it smelled like pot, cigars and smelly old men. I ordered a Reuben. The meat was dry and chewy (like jerky) and the bread was hard and stale. Some of the chips were also stale. I did tell the waitress and she did offer to bring me something else but I declined (we had already waited long enough). Also the glasses (mine was plastic my sister's was glass) were both dirty and smudged. While some of it was just age, some of it was grease. It was just an overall disappointment. read more

It's a bar with good bar food that caters to smokers and gamblers. It's called "Roadhouse" right? Did we watch the movie? I wouldn't take my kids there past a certain hour but I go with adults for drinks and really good late night grub. They are one of the only late-night spots around with good food. Awesome burgers and salads, generous portions, stiff drinks, super friendly bartenders and staff too really. Clean bathrooms and a decent enclosed smoking area. Been going on and off for 20 years... read more

First time, last time. 10 years as a server and oof that was bad. Do better Morrison. My dad and I ordered steak sandwiches. After 40 minutes of not being checked on by our server he politely asked how long it would be. The waitress responded by saying "see all these tables around, they ordered before you and haven't gotten their food yet" as if that was some sort of justification for a forty minute wait on steak sandwiches. Requested to have my order cancelled. Then after 10 more minutes the manager brings out the sandwiches and tries to guilt us into taking them..and still pay for them claiming we are hurting their small business and they're training a new cook. It was a Saturday evening during the ncaa tournament at a sports bar, c'mon man. Not once did the server or manager apologize for the wait. read more

Unfortunately we were unable to eat here because they did not offer high chairs or any boosters. The waitress said they were out but they had none because the other family brought their own. They were also not so welcoming when we arrived. My husband asked where he could get a high chair so he didn't have to borrow the waitress but the bartender said to wait for the waitress to get it and at the end they didn't even have them. read more

Stopped in for a Beer and Burger. The Bartenders were awesome and so nice. Beer came out ice cold in a frosty glass. Burger was cooked perfectly. Nice airy open Bar. Will definitely be back read more

Solid spot that I'll definitely go back to, it's got it all on their menu including real good tavern style pizza. My only complaint is that it's 20 minutes from my house and not 5 minutes. ;) read more

Light my Fire burger is freaking amazing the homemade chips is a must. They have great service always, a nice neighborhood place with plenty of beer for a good price. read more

If you want to be treated like a caged animal and being stared at the ENTIRE time and not get any service whatsoever, this is your cup of tea. Absolutely terrible customer service with no respect. The ownership team needs a serious overhaul of how to run an establishment. Extremely sickening, STAY AWAY! read more

past and present - always great food and staff, clean place BUT, a food surcharge for Market Price Adj ??? never again, sorry read more

If you like a burger cooked to order this is the place for you. I like mine medium rare to rare. Always comes out as I ordered. Juicy burger with great curly fries. And there are a lot of options for add-ons to your burger. I usually get grilled mushrooms and onions. And they pour a very good drink! Wait staff is wonderful very friendly.We frequent here very very often everything is great see you soon read more

Morrison Roadhouse - Burger medium rare with curly fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Stopped in for a pulled pork and some skins... got to witness a drunk waitress and the manager almost beating someone up... that was cool ... to mention they mess up my sandwich and my skins came after my food ... thought appetizers came before the food ... apparently fighting was more important than making sure our food was correct. read more

The worst place I have ever walked into for drinks. Bartenders are unprofessional. The atmosphere is disgusting, and the patrons that were there were beyond over served and starting fights . Would never return and highly suggest you take your business to a better establishment. If you want to have drinks in the area I suggest playbook down the street. read more

Excellent food and terrific staff. The most COVID friendly place around. It's like a chicken pox party for middle aged men. The Zeus and Buffalo chicken sandwiches are terrific. The also have several machines with that will take your money and reward you with spectacular twinkly light displays. It's a great place to watch the big game too. Get boosted and go. Really the food is great. read more

Love the chicken tenders. My favorite !!the honey mustard gets honorable mention too.

Stopped last night for a beer with my almost 90-year-old neighbor who happens to be an Army Veteran, he had his military hat on! He wanted to play the gaming machines in the back, but all were being used by the same assumed "regulars" for at least an hour. When they would leave their spot placed an in-use sign on the machine. I asked the assumed manager how I could get him on a machine but was told could not do anything. I get it, understand his reluctance but was hoping for a "let me see what I can do for at least 10 minutes". What I did not get was him telling his bartenders about it. The reaction was grins and a glance over to us, not what I expect for an elderly VETERAN? I am a long-time "regular" somewhere else and their staff is always welcoming to every so often customers, not so at this place! Not my first time having this reaction! Maybe you want to mark your calendar, Veterans Day is on 11/11/2024! read more

I would stay away from this restaurant Did not eat the food . But were Totally ignored by bartender/ server . The place was not even busy . Terrible staff . read more

I'm only giving this place two stars because the food is really good but that's about it. I used to love this place. I've been coming here for years but it seems they are just over pricing the menu and not caring about their customers. Plus a 15% hike on all food, add that along with a 20% gratuity?? That's insane. Anyways, second time in a row we've had really poor service. They do not have enough waitresses at this place so you wait forever for drinks, refills and anything else. Try to complain?? The grey headed guy with glasses who calls himself a manager should really be educated on what customer service is. After this last experience, I will never go back there. Too expensive, terrible service and horrible customer service! Save your money and go someplace else where they appreciate your business and your money. read more

Morrison's is amazing! The staff is hands down the best and the food is great! Brian and Molly are unbelievable, they are the reason we keep coming back read more

For being a great sports bar the food was great. The pizza was good. The Sandwiches are good everything was good, even our waitress (Jenny) was excellent. Highly recommend stopping in for a visit. Too bad we have to head back home to California or this would be one of my favorite places to frequent. read more

Passing through the area and figured I would give it a try. Bar looked like a fairly nice looking dive bar and the menu looks like a nice restaurant. I ordered a couple apps because they looked a bit different from the usual "bar food".. As soon as it came out I realized it was a whole lot of food for the order. Along with it being a lot of the food, the food tasted fabulous. My complaints are the bartenders were too busy talking to each other to pay attention to anyone's needs. Granted, it wasnt very busy, but that is no excuse for assuming that means it's not pay attention time. My other complaint is a $6.50 Virgin Bloody Mary.. I mean every Dive bar I go to I can get a bloody mary for less and it is filled with BOOZE. Total rip off on the boozeless mixed drink I returned to the bar later in the evening and the virgin bloody mary was 4 bucks which I way more reasonable. The second shift was awesome and friendly. So I'd return durning the second shift in the future read more

To all the fools who go to a very sociable place and want to be treated like they're the only customer: Eat at home. Very often I find the people who attempt to write a review of a place more often actually reveal more about themselves than the place. One of these novices were outraged by the thought of tipping 20%. So, no matter how great the food and service may have been, 20% is never on the table. I guess the feeling of being ignored annoys you because it happens so frequently. Eat at home. Morrison's is exactly what it intends to be. Laid back, sociable, and unexpected really good food rather than usual bar grub. And it doesn't 'cater' to gamblers and smokers, it accommodates them, as it does for everyone else, even the people up there on their horses. Giddyup! Eat at home. read more

Once again I find myself sitting with not good service. I really like this place the food is good, but I don't understand the girls that work there she took our order and we never seen her again. There was a young man who brought us our food gave us her to go box. Another girl gave us our check. We were never checked on if our food was OK if we needed something else would we like another drinkjust like we weren't there and I hate to say it because we really like it but they need a different staff is young girls talking to these guys is this the dating game or is this Morrisons roadhouse? Please I do not want to rip your business we really like it but this is the second time service was lacking you young man who brings out the food and cleans up was excellent read more
