Surprisingly great pub food.clean.nice atmosphere.i cant believe ive lived here this many years and havent gone here?the best part- the lady running the bar/tables. What?! She had it going on! The height of bartender/food service professional! that many people she was taking care of and NEVER forgot anything and anticipated anything in advanced. Even impressed my 13 year old daughter by remembering she likes mayo on the side without my daughter even asking because she has been there before with her Dad!! If you impress a teenager-you get 5 stars! read more

Came in on a Thursday looking for a sports bar to watch some football. Read the reviews and this place had the highest marks in the area so my buddy and I checked it out. As advertised, the food was quite good. $6 burger specials on Thursdays. Crispy fries and a toasted bun! Can't stress how nice it is to have a sandwich served on a soft lightly buttered toasted bun. Great bang for your buck. The waitress was nice and attentive and the atmosphere also allowed for us to chat without having to struggle with hearing each other. Will be back! read more

I've been meaning to try this place for a while, since it's right down the street from where I work. On Friday I went with a co-worker for lunch and I was really impressed. Please don't let the outside of the place fool you, it's in a dumpy strip mall with a Dollar General store and doesn't look like the best place from the outside. Once inside however, things changed for the better. The place is clean and nice, nothing fancy, but a pretty decent bar and overall atmosphere. The menu has all of the typical foods you would expect in a place like this and that always means I'm ordering a burger. Unless a place is famous for something in particular, I usually order the burger, because if you can't make a decent burger I have no hope for the rest of the menu. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and it was a huge burger and cooked perfectly. It also included a bowl of soup and fries. The only complaint about the burger (and it's very minor) is that the bun wasn't nearly sturdy enough to hold it all together. It did have plenty of cheese and bacon and overall I would say it was an awesome burger! The prices are great here too and the service was solid all the way around. I will be coming back here in the near future and I definitely recommend this place... don't let the outside fool you. read more

The food was good, we had the stuffed pepper soup and it was actually delicious! But it took 15 minutes before a waitress acknowledged we were there and asked if we wanted food or something to drink. The parking lot is a little chaotic and not lit very well so it's kinda hard to get around. Overall a neat place for a laid back night read more

Great place to grab a beer and some good food. The food is reasonably price typically below 12 dollars. I decided to try the Walleye fish fry then had and it was less than par.It tasted more like a piece of salmon with a light batter on it. My colleague had the cod and it was much better The green pepper soup was very good. read more

I generally don't frequent bars of this caliber, but THIS bar is spot on. I mean no disrespect by the term dive bar but this term best fits. First of all, this place is CLEAN unlike most dive bars. The food is FABULOUS, unlike most dive bars. The prices are CHEAP, like most dive bars. The service and friendlieness of the bartenders and the patrons is great and very similar to the atmosphere to a dive bar. This place is in a very non-descript strip mall but if you find it stop in. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is a great neighborhood bar for drinks and good food! They always have pretty decent specials. Everything that me and my boyfriend have ordered has been good enough to order again. There are lots of TV's playing any game you might be interested in and they always have rock music playing in the background (but not too loud). The only down side is service can occassionally be slow....they make up for it by being friendly enough. Our favorite special is Taco Tuesday's: 3 beef tacos for $3.50 with as much beef as they can fit in the tortillas. read more

AMAZING! Delicious food (burgers are to die for!) The staff and customer service is awesome. My family and I keep coming back for more! The owners are incredible and we are so pleased that this gem is right down the street! Stop here for your next night out you won't be disappointed! Oh and Karaoke nights are my favorite! read more

The place isn't the biggest so can get packed FAST. If you come when it's packed then it's either stand or leave which is what me and a lot of their potential customers do. Haven't been there in a while which helps me find new places. read more

Very good food, decent prices, and excellent service. Would be nice if the place was a bit larger but that can't be helped I guess.

Place is clean and has very prompt service. More than just our waitress went over to check on us and bring us drinks. Great specials. Fresh popped popcorn. Karaoke night on Friday was fun. Would return and bring more friends. read more

GO HERE! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! You would never think this place is as awesome as it is by looking at the outside! The inside is really nice for a bar/sandwich place! Went for lunch yesterday with a friend. Had the mini steak sandwiches. PERFECT! 3 huge marinated steak medallions, I ordered med-med rare. Smothered in melty cheese, grilled onions and the steak was SUPER tender and delicious! I highly recommend them! My friend had the southwest chicken wrap. She loved it so much, she ordered it for the second time ! Next time I'm going to try the Rueben. People brag about the burgers saying "it's the best burger they've ever eaten out" They have one smothered in 2 cheeses, grilled mushrooms and grilled onions. Yum! The service was great as well! Very attentive and she was the ONLY ONE WORKING LUNCH! (besides the cook) A+++ QUALITY AND QUANTITY! read more

Stopped in one night before going to the haunted house next door. Had the $6 cheeseburger special and was pleasantly surprised by how large and fresh it was. They have great fries too! :) They have reasonable drink prices too. I would definitely go back if ever in the area, read more

Good food for the right price, love love love everything here. Love the nachos, the burgers and chicken wings.

Great food at decent prices! I appreciate the fact they have three different types of fish for Friday night fish fry! Perch,Walleye or Cod. All are awesome. Burgers are killer and homemade Chili is the bomb! The only thing we have ever had not up to par was Chicken n Rice soup. No chicken and very little rice. Otherwise have always had great food here. And the waitresses are great! Always #1 service! Keep it up!- We go try other places as they open however keep going back to Poor Boys for Great Food , decent prices and good atmoshphere! Waitresses all kick butt! read more

Great Burgers and awesome service!!!! Do yourself a favor and eat here. We also tried the fried pickles and they were very good as well.

Stopped by last night and had chicken stops and a root beer. Only problem I had was the server gave me a Pepsi instead of a root beer when I wanted a refill. read more

I love this place and the fact that the owner is such a Blackhawks fan. It is a fun place to go to for their games. I've had their food a few times...the burgers are pretty good and their southwest tots are awesome. It's not the best food you'll ever have, but it is worth trying and the atmosphere of this bar alone makes it a great place to go! read more

good food, friendly staff and good service make this worth the stop. they also have live bands on weekends read more

I love this place! They make an incredible best sandwich and burgers. All the good is tasty and a great value. Plus great bands on Saturday nights! Very friendly staff and fun place to hang out for games with lots of big screen TVs. read more

Have been going there since they opened. Always SOLID food and (2) homemade soups each day (in HUGE bowls). Daily food and drink specials. FREE fresh popped popcorn. Family friendly. GREAT SERVICE. Prices are very reasonable for both food and drink. Plenty of parking. Owners are almost always there. We eat there once or twice a week. read more

first time we walked into this place we felt right at home. the friendly service is always outstanding from the owner to the bar staff. we love sue & barbie... best bartending gals in town...always service with a smile! both these girls really know how to make a great "bloody mary"! "free hot popcorn goes well with a pitcher of "icy coor's beer" ! all the food at poor boys has been yummy, the burgers are the best.... you cannot go wrong with the wings or pizza...poor boys special pizza is awesomely good. we found this to be our favorite place around to watch sports, have some great food & cold beer at a great price with good people. read more

Great spot to have a drink. Great atmosphere, and plenty of TVs. Food is okay, too. N

Love love this place. The soup, lunch specials, salads and all the people! Waitresses and owners treat you like family. I have used them for parties, catering and just everyday meals. Everything is reasonably priced and service is fast!!! read more

Good food. Friendly staff. Erin in particular. Super friendly very accommodating. Perfect for a Friday night end of week drinks food and friendly service read more

A great place to go for a huge lunch with excellent service.

Food was really good and reasonably priced. Service was some of the worst. Waitress never gave us a smile. However, for the food it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Amazing food. I can't get enough of the steak quesadillas, buffalo wings, pork tenderloin sandwiches, and creamy potato soup. They also have great live entertainment and pull in some of the best bands in the area. The alcohol and beer prices are very reasonable. Great value, lots of specials (lunch and dinner), amazing food, cold beer, cheap mixed drinks, and plenty of TVs to watch any game. I like their food better than buffalo wild wings. Bottom Line: Amazing Food, Cheap Drinks, and Great Entertainment. Even if you don't drink this place has something for you. read more

As always great customer service. They always go the extra for their customers. As always great food , staff and owner's.

Nice,clean,friendly place. This restaurant is located in strip mall and does not look like much from the outside but do not let that fool you. We have eaten here 4-5 times since I discovered the place a couple months ago and have yet to be disappointed. All of the sandwiches come with a bowl of the soup of the day and french fries. The portions are large and taste great. I have had the Philly Cheese Steak as well as the Hamburger and Pork Tenderloin sandwich, all have been very good. Fish fry on Friday nights. All of the waitresses/bartenders are very friendly. I highly recommend Poor Boys. read more

not a fan. food kinda sucks. karaoke was just obnoxious. same people who cant sing, do the same songs every week. they need more servers because clearly they cant get to all their tables on busy nights read more

After hearing great things about the burger here I had to try it out. Went with a couple of friends here for a Wednesday night dinner. First off this bar is kind of a dive. Had I not heard good reviews I wouldn't have even gone in. It is hidden in a strip mall next to a dollar general. Not much curb apeal here. When you go inside though it is a nice sports bar atmosphere. Although I will say I got many looks when I walked in the door. Yes I get it I don't normally come here but please people (Patrons not the staff) don't give me a look like you never say a gay guy before. We went during the hawks game and I get it is a bar but it is very loud here also. If you want to talk with your friends it is very hard to hear them here. Once again though it is a bar so I can't say this wasn't expected... The service here was pretty good and friendly. We all ordered cokes and they left a pitcher so we didn't have to wait for refills. For dinner we started with the cheese stix. They were good but just the normal ones you can get at any other restaurant. I was going to go with the cheese fries but I was told by the waitress they use a cheese sauce instead of melted cheese so I passed on those. I had the Cheese burger for dinner. The burger here is a nice size and was cooked well. You can tell the burgers are home made also. They aren't frozen and are good quality. Over all I thought the food was pretty good here I would go back. read more

Very nice place to spend some time and have a very good meal.

We love this place ! Friendly at home feel with great food & service. Always a game on all the flat screens so it's great have a burger and a beer and just relax. Very down to earth atmosphere. read more
