    *The Setting: 5 Stars. Beautiful beachfront location makes it almost seem like you are right on the ocean and not in Chicago BUT you can still see the amazing Chicago skyline. *The Vibe: 5 Stars. Cool, laid back, chill, fun and if you go earlier in the day relaxing. *The Service: 2 Stars. It's pretty much a roll of the dice.. It MIGHT be decent or even good and it MIGHT be abhorrent and bicchy . We got a mix of both during our visit. *The Food / Drink : 2.5- 3 Stars.. Again it's a roll of the dice. Overpriced But I can say the Wings Mozz Sticks and Salads are quite good. (I'd give those items 4 stars) The Burger is ok. But don't DARE ATTEMPT to order a "Portabella burger" it sounds delicious but what came to the table was.. stiff,cold, "vintage" tomato focaccia "bun" , dr with 1 small SQUISHED FLAT, Floppy Portabella cap sprinkled in "mud" (which was supposedly a micro dash of goat cheese) for $17-18. It was promptly sent back but not before a passive aggressive exchange with the manager asking "what's the problem? Why don't you want it" ... which I told her and she asked "so why don't you LIKE it " AGAIN. So this time stopped explanation and just said "no thank you, I don't like it and you can have it back." I was not going to argue.. and I didn't. This is when our small party (4 and a child) paid the bill (gratuity is included) and got food from the locals grilling in the park. TIP. Bring your Beach chair / Blanket, Umbrella and Cooler with snacks & beverages (no glass bottles). Find a spot NEAR Reggie's and enjoy the SAME view, music, vibe withOUT the hassle, roll of the dice service and automatic gratuity.

    I've been here twice, only because of the location. It's right on the beach and walking distance for me. So that's great. The first time I got one drink (technically charged for 2, since a bee fell into my 1st one and they don't remake drinks lol, it's on the front of their menu) and some food that I didn't enjoy. After my first visit, I vowed not to buy food from here because it just wasn't worth it. But I stopped by recently for a drink on a random Monday after a walk and the staff was actually pleasant this time. I sat on the inner bar section instead of the one near the sand instead. Not sure if they'll see me again, but who knowssss, maybe I'll want a drink after a walk again ‍

    You come here solely for a restaurant that's literally sitting on the beach. It's not the worst food in the world but there's definitely nothing amazing nor worth a return visit. There's two separate sitting areas & if you can opt for the tables closer to the lakefront. The chicken wings were sort of bland albeit boasting (best in the city). The quesadilla was downright horrific. Flavorless & the cheese sucked. Not even pico de gallo nor sour cream cold help. Lastly the fried shrimp were decent. If your indulging in the place just know the view & the ambiance are the star of the show with the food being merely accessories

    Bug in drink.

    At Reggie's on the Beach I was served a drink & before had a sip a bee landed in my drink & drowned. Management will not replace my $13 drink. I would ha e spent over $40 bucks but they are willing to loose that over $3 worth of liquor. They should have served the drink in a covered cup if they have a no replacement policy, I won't be returning....

    Best seat in the house!

    The relaxed atmosphere here along with the warm sun and sand make Reggie's a must-stop on beach trips to Jackson Park in Chicago. Cheers!

    Its the best place to eat on a beach in Chicago- possibly the cleanest beach in Chicago as well.

    I love a good cocktail bar, and this spot definitely delivers. I am already a fan of Erick Williams…read morerestaurants, so I was excited to check this one out, especially after learning it focuses on tequila and mezcal, which are my favorites. It is also conveniently located on the same block as two of his other spots. I have been twice now and had a great experience each time. I am especially glad they did away with the reservation deposit. It makes planning a visit much easier. Most recently, I stopped by for their all day Sunday happy hour, which was a great vibe. They have expanded the food menu since my first visit, and everything I tried was solid. The empanada was my favorite, the quesabirria was really good, and the chicken torta was delicious. On my first visit, I only had the guacamole, which I also enjoyed. The decor is beautiful and intimate, creating a great atmosphere, and the music is always on point. The staff has been friendly and welcoming every time I have gone. This place is definitely staying in my regular rotation.

It was the one with lime and jalapeno. However, for small bites, the prices were high in my opinion. Even the drinks - my n/a ginger beer was $10, which is high. Just a tad pricey but over all a lovely place I would revisit.

The clientele is…read morecomprised of a really cool mix of local south- siders (read: White Sox fans!) and UChicago staff/students. There is an epic wall mural that features different aspects of the city, including a huge Barack Obama head. As I said: epic. The bar is separated into two distinct parts, divided by a counter/tables in the center (you have to walk all the way around if you want to switch sides or move at the tables). 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? My friend brings his dog there and it's no problem. Is this bar a dive? Yes. Do I care? No. Do I actually love it? Absolutely. Best bar on the area, hands down.

    The food was great and I liked the ambiance of the restaurant. We ordered our food thru our phones,…read morethe first orders came out within 30 minutes. (The waiters didn't always know who ordered what) Because we enjoyed certain dishes we ordered more, it was my Mom's bday. The waiter told us there was a big party and some of the orders weren't correct or got messed up. It took over an hour and a half for us to get the 2nd round of orders. It was inconvenient because I wanted to cancel the food and leave. We couldn't do that b/c everything is ordered thru the phone and was already paid for. After a while, the waiters just walked past us, they didn't really give us updates or anything. I hate this because I liked the menu a lot!

We were there the day before Valentine's Day, so the menu was limited. I had one of there margarits's and that started my great evening. Our server was attentive and checked in on us. We enjoyed the crab cakes with shrimp on top and dirty rice stuffed mushrooms for starters and then we had spinach salad which was delicious. About another hour or so we enjoyed our main meal which was Tuscan chicken with creamy risotto and lobster and shrimp etouffee served over wild rice, very delicious. We also had for dessert, banana CHEESE cream pudding and I actually wanted to Lick the bowel it was so good. We also enjoyed the strawberry shortcake. I was hesitant about making a reservation because of all the negative reviews after restaurant week. I must say we were happy with our decision to dine at this restaurant. Yes, the food took a little extra time but it was worth it. I can't wait to go back for their weekend brunch.
