My friend and I had high hopes after reading about this place online, and unfortunately we agreed there was a bit to be desired. I have driven by the area for so long and never knew they were located in the strip. I guess Rep's was the sponsored post-game place for the local mens hockey league at one point. We came on a Friday night, 7/25/25. It is split in two sides, with one being the dining room and the other being the bar. We sat in the dining area, and it wasn't real busy at all, though the bar seemed to have a small crowd. We were seated quite fast, almost felt rushed. The food came quick also, which I suppose isn't a bad thing but we weren't trying rush through our meal. The wait staff was friendly, though it felt like we were pin balling through waiters everyone other time something came to the table. We tried this pineapple cider and it was really good. Quite refreshing I'd say. ACE is the brand I believe. Cheese Curds - Interesting combo with the jalapeño and garlic. Not super flavorful, but the ranch dip made them tolerable. My buddy wasn't a fan. Pretzel Bites - The flavor was pretty solid. Didn't try them with the beer cheese but they were savory for sure. Tater Tots - Pretty much on par as your average fried potato nugget. Nothing outstanding. Cheese Pizza - An OK pie , not too greasy. I added some oregano which brought out much more flavor, though otherwise I'd say it's mid. Old Western Burger - Buddy said it was good, but it was really big. He had to cut it to make easier to eat. Overall not the worst food, but I think that we were both expecting more. We came back a second time and we found out that the food service ends at 9, which sucks a little because we eat late sometimes.

Sarah, our server, was fantastic and the pretzel bite rave reviews were on the spot--at $9.99 the lowest cost appetizer was a winner. Friends ordered the Chicky Nicky grilled, grilled cheese with tomato soup dipping cup and I went with a modified corned beef. Tater tot's were ok. Should have gone with sweet potato fries...next time!

The FACE of Rep's Arlington (Rebecca The Mascot!)

Holy cow! This is not just a bar. This is an atmosphere, a place to feel comfortable, as comfortable as at home. Rebecca (The Mascot) of Rep's with her purple shirt and hair was our server today and the head bartender of the day. She's what really puts a five star review ticket on my shoulders to write. My mate Mike ordered a Moscow Mule, it was tangy limey and awesome tasting. Hats off Rebecca. I got a Long Island iced tea, holy cow is it an instant drunkening. While the large amount of ice may be off putting there's a LOT of alcohol to suck up and enjoy! Though my advisory is that you stir yours when it arrives to your table, despite Rebecca's best shaking skills in the margarita shaker the laws of physics be a harsh mistress, water and alcohol separate easily so any amount of ice, a single cube can make the drink settle as it transits to the table. So give it a stir before enjoying for best flavor! The chili is a bit spicy for my taste buds but I'm sure one could order it mild, I'll try that next time. The atmosphere is very calm quiet and almost homelike. Just with a lot more tables and TV's. It's a weird comparison to make but this feels less like a bar and more like the safety of a psychiatric hospitals dining room, a calm place one can speak openly about literally ANYTHING without being judged. Truly an establishment I can take my hat off and bow to. Rep's really shows what a hometown bar should be. A large enough place for gatherings but a place that feels comfortable enough to be an oversized community rec room that feels like an extension of the community rather than a business.

The ambiance and the service are both excellent. The environment is laid back and I did not feel like a stranger inside. I will definitely go again and try their pizza.

Christmas decorations that picture doesn't do justice

Just tried their new "Loaded Taco Grilled Cheese", which truly is one of the best of both worlds sandwiches I've ever had (think torta...but actually a ground beef American style taco inside and on top of a thick-sliced Texas toast grilled cheese). Yum fricken yummy and just enough pico and sour cream slathered to tame, but also accentuate, the spice/heat level. Instead of fries, it's served with a side of chicken enchilada soup (loaded with meat, two types of beans, corn, as well as Frito's corn-like and Dorito's flavored chip strips). This concept works and it is delicious. As I am a huge fan of Rep's original grilled cheese (see 2021 review below), this is a wonderful addition to their menu. Jones-worthy and know I will be future craving for this sammy that's for sure!! Finished the meal with some Cinnamon roll churros served warm with vanilla ice...oh my awesome...and the seasonal Xmas decor is truly delightful too (along with the great background music).

Bird's Nest is known for chicken stuff but there's other things you can get. Has a great atmosphere for watching games or having parties. The prices are okay for quality. Better than it looks which actually isn't bad. It's one of those more hip looking wing restaurants that has lots more choices. There's plenty of room inside for big groups. A lot of great drink specials going on so look what they got before coming. It's $3 for Miller products on Tuesdays. As for the food there's more than chicken. It's about $10 for the Veggie Panini. A healthier alternative. This comes with avocado, green peppers, mushrooms, red onions, red peppers, and Swiss. I left off the cheese. This comes with a choice of side. For sure it's a great place for casual lunch. It's located on Davis close to the railroad tracks. There's a few things even okay for vegetarians.

Even though wings are their specialty, I opted for the grilled chicken sandwich, minus the bun! The chicken was tender and grilled to perfection. Topped with lettuce and tomato. Others tried their wraps and was not disappointed. The sandwiches came with a side, a choice of regular or curly fries. This is a casual, neighborhood bar with a decent selection of drinks and food.

It took a while to give the server our food and drink order and were were never told about their Daily Specials or offered any water. We ordered the potatoe skins as an appetizer and I wanted to try their chicken wings since they were on the menu as a Wednesday Special for .99 each Unfortunately our appetizer came out almost at the same time as our entrees. The skins were huge but overcooked. The wings were good in size but I should have gotten the sauce on the side as they were super soggy. It came with ranch dressing which I didn't care for at all. Our server never followed up with us after he brought us our meal as I would have asked for blue cheese dressing instead. If you are going to meet up with friends or watch a game,Draft Picks is an ok Sports Bar but certainly lacking in food quality.

My husband and I ordered the boneless chicken wings and steak tacos because those were the specials on the menu that night. The boneless chicken wings had a really bad flavor to them. The garlic parmesan wings had too strong of a vinegar taste. The barbecue boneless chicken wings were much too peppery and not enough barbecue flavor. I bit right into a big piece of gristle or cartilage in the steak tacos. The cheese, lettuce and tomato added no flavor to the tacos. The last item we tried was the French fries because I thought that they would be safe. I was wrong. There was no flavor to the fries, not even salt. The trivia was fun and our server was nice but I will not be returning to Draft Picks!

Better than expected bar and grill in Arlington Heights. It has higher prices and higher quality…read morethan it looks. Jimmy D's District is a longtime favorite across from the old racetrack. Even though that is gone this place remains and has a modern atmosphere. The drinks are better than the food truthfully. A pretty strange location in this suburb away from anything. It's across from the former Arlington Park racetrack which is gone and has nothing on the property. This used to be a hangout before and after events there. At least they have seemed to class it up a bit. The bad thing is higher prices. It's about $15 for a specialty cocktail. The best we had of these was the Cucumber Spritz. This is made with lemonade, soda, and Stoli Cucumber vodka. As for the food it's mostly meaty. It's about $12 for the Pretzel Twist. A big one and it usually comes with cheese. The rest of the menu is meaty. For sure it's great for watching a game. It's located on Northwest Highway. This is also across from the Metra station.

Our Burger Club finally made it's way to Jimmy D's back in December of 2025. It was a Monday night,…read moreand kinda cold outside. There were seven of us and we all converged from Buffalo Grove and Vernon Hills. Jimmy D's doesn't come up on your normal burger place lists in and around the area, but we saw a post somewhere and knew we had to check this place out, especially if it ended up being across from the future home of the Chicago Bears. We'd probably end up hanging out there and wanted to make sure it was a good enough place to hang and be a part of the action, whilst not paying for said action. Anyhoo, we all pulled up to find a nice parking lot next to/behind the restaurant. It's a cool place with a couple entrances (one in the lot and the other from the street). It's a nicely adorned building and has the requisite sports decor on the inside with plenty of televisions to watch many games at once. There was plenty of seating for our group as it was quite empty on a Monday night and there wasn't any game of note when we were there. We called ahead letting them know our numbers and they accommodated us with a reserved table. They were attentive and constantly refilled out waters and sodas and brought more beer when needed/requested. The service was friendly and attentive. We were there for the burgers of which there are four options: the House burger, the Fried Egg Burger, the Mac Daddy, and a Black Bean burger. However, stipulations for being in our club is that you can only order a red meat-based burger. We did order the buffalo sauced wings as an appetizer to share. They were sauced nicely, not too hot, and quite good. I would definitely recommend getting them if you visit. I also ordered the cream of chicken soup. It was a perfect option for the cold night and I rank it among one of the better cream of chicken soup options in the suburbs. While not a sommelier of cream of chicken soup, I do rank it quite well: I think it matches Jameson's Char House for quality, thickness, and flavor. Mama clearly knows what she's doing with her soup. I opted for the Mac Daddy burger. It's prepared with: black angus beef, boom boom sauce, house mac n' cheese, bacon, fried onions, sliced jalapeños, toasted brioche. I normally don't opt for the special/signature house sauces as I've been burned before by these so-called "recommended" house sauces (I'm looking at you, Lucky Burger, with your terrible "dijonnaise" sauce - ugh, don't get me started on THAT sauce). However, I was told it's a hot sauce for the burger and figured it wouldn't overpower everything else on the burger. The mac n' cheese was a tad creamy, but so what, the bacon, fried onions, jalapenos, and boom boom sauce cut into the creaminess a bit and it worked. And it didn't overpower the flavor of the burger, which I thought it would, but somehow didn't. I really liked this burger, the bun held up, the bacon stayed crispy, and jalapenos and sauce added a nice kick but not overwhelmingly so. I would get this again. The sandwiches come with housemade fries or tots, but I know that if tots are offered, you can (generally) never go wrong with tots (I'd point out Puck's Pub but they closed and did the world a favor in doing so). Everyone generally liked their burgers and would return again. In our 5 point scale, Jimmy D's District got a 4.25. They have a nice brunch menu and drinks to match and I want to try them out someday. Let me know if you're going and I'll meet ya there if available.
