I had one of the best Chicago burgers I've ever tried. It absolutely lives up to the praise you'll see in other reviews--whoever is in the kitchen is truly a magician. The bar service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It's a fantastic spot to unwind and relax, especially after a day of travel. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

I'm not kidding if I'd say you'd never know this food was from the airport. We ordered the blackened burger before we realized how much food was included in the Apps. It was also very good. It was juicy and flavorful. Sorry - I guess we were hungry because I forgot to take a pic. If you're in Midway needing food - I'd highly recommend it.

I got a Cobb salad, my party got schrimp tacos. We drank soda instead of beer. The food was good, but at airport prices of course. The waitress was friendly but the service (or maybe the software?) was slow. We used the QR code to order, but our beverages took too long. She said the receipt did not show up or print out. We had the a distraction with a World Cup game playing so that made it a little less stressful. I'd go back just for a beer or adult drink; I don't like over paying but service on airlines is kind of erratic these days!

We order via QR code. It comes out wrong! How is that even possible. We decided to just eat the food and get out of there, even though it's not what we ordered. Beware, it automatically tipped our waitress 20%, for doing nothing but walk our food from point A to B. I know the bar is low for airport restaurants...but come on. It also was expensive for very mid food. You're better off going to the food court, just trust me.

I understand DJs have their own sets, but refusing to play even one reasonable request felt unnecessarily dismissive. What made it worse was having someone from his group come over afterward to tell me not to do that again, while the DJ doubled down on it. That interaction was incredibly unprofessional and left a really bad impression. They should seriously reconsider hiring this DJ again because, unfortunately, they lost my business tonight--and potentially the business of someone who regularly shares experiences with a social media audience. The one bright spot was Gina, who is truly the BEST server. She was fantastic, and I genuinely hate that this experience means I won't feel comfortable coming back. Gina deserves all the credit in the world for being so wonderful.

**A Home Away From Home at TGI Fridays Midway**…read more A New Yorker's unexpected Chicago hangout, and the Bartender who makes it feel like home. **The big picture:** Chicago's been my temporary home, and TGI Fridays in Midway has become my spot. It's no East Village or LES, but it has real neighborhood energy, the kind of place where everyone knows your name. **Why it matters:** TINA, that magnetic bartender! She's charismatic but humble, welcoming and attentive, and just a genuinely cool person. Whatever random thing you ask for, her answer is always the same: *"I got you!"* **What stands out:** - Above-and-beyond service with great energy and a smile - Killer Long Island Iced Teas - a must! - A staff that rocks, top to bottom **The bottom line:** Meeting Tina was an unexpected surprise. If you're ever in this neck of the woods, pay her a visit.

We understood…read moregoing in that it is not a restaurant designed with health-conscious diners as its primary audience. Fortunately, with our knowledge of nutrition, we were able to modify our meal selections to better align with our dietary goals. Unfortunately, the food itself was the greatest disappointment. Nearly every item was excessively salted to the point that it overwhelmed the natural flavors and ultimately detracted from the entire meal. Proper seasoning should enhance a dish, not dominate it. The service was a brighter aspect of our visit. Our server was friendly, personable, and made a genuine effort to ensure we received everything we requested. She provided attentive service and created a pleasant dining experience despite the shortcomings of the food. Overall, this visit reinforced an impression I formed years ago after dining at another TGI Fridays near Spokane, Washington. At the time, I hoped that experience was an isolated incident. After giving the brand another opportunity, I no longer believe that to be the case. While convenience brought us through the door, the quality of the food did not provide a compelling reason to return. Regrettably, this will be our final visit to TGI Fridays.

This place is the bar equivalent of a MAGA hat. It prides itself on being "politically incorrect," posting signs that read "speak english or go back to the sorry ass country you left," (though they also have a sign that reads "kiss my ass, pog mo thoin"-the latter is Irish for, you guessed it, "kiss my ass";"my bartender can beat up your therapist"; "sexual harassment in this area will be reported. However, it will be graded"; "if at first you don't succeed, buy her another beer"; and "some people are alive simply because it's against the law to kill them." Ironically, they also have a sign saying "be nice or leave." And, if you realize that you want to leave when seeing their signs, you are sent off with yet another sign: "To our customers: when leaving Mr. C's please be respectful and courteous to our neighbors by leaving quietly." If only they actually had respect for all of their neighbors. read more

When I first arrived I thought "what a cool little place" nice mix of people from ages 23 - 38 if I were to guess, Bartender was okay , prices were fair. Seemed like a decent spot. UNTIL I seen a couple racist bumper stickers posted behind the bar. Right in plain sight! (Right below where the bottles are kept.) That completely changed my mind on this place 100% . You can try and argue and say "well those are just silly bumper stickers" NO , a buisness should not be displaying such hatred. 2 stars only because the environment was cool, drink price was fair , and bartender seemed alright. read more

I've never been to a bar that felt so unwelcoming--it's almost as if they don't want to make money. From the manager's lack of attentiveness to the uninviting atmosphere, it was clear that customer satisfaction isn't a priority here. Whether it was waiting forever to be served or the general vibe that we weren't wanted, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. If you're looking for a place to relax and feel welcome, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. if the little female manager is working, good luck read more

There is an epic wall mural that features different aspects of the city, including a huge Barack Obama head. As I said: epic.

On one side is the bar and a few TVs to watch the games, giving it a louder sports bar kind of vibe. On the other side there are a bunch of tables--almost like picnic tables. It feels very communal and laid-back. It's a place you can sip on drinks and easily spend time with a group of friends. The Cove is very group-friendly. My favorite part?
