They weren't packed but definitely full for the game, every seat was taken. I got the $23 beef wagyu burger. It was very tasty! Fries came with an additional $3 charge.

Food took a bit but there was only one cook, so understandable. I would be back.

Au Cheval was unfortunately a pretty disappointing experience for us. We arrived around 5:30 PM and…read morewaited nearly 2.5 hours for a table of four. We understood that it was busy, but being texted that our table was ready only to wait another 15 minutes in a tiny entry hallway was frustrating. When I asked for an update, the hostess was dismissive, which made the situation even more unpleasant. Once we were finally seated, it took about 10 minutes for our waitress to greet us. We ordered wings and single burgers. The food was hot, but our burgers and fries came out at completely different times because the kitchen was supposedly "backed up." For the price and the hype surrounding this place, I expected a much better overall experience. The burger was decent, but honestly, nowhere near worth a 2.5-hour wait, and the prices felt high for a burger and fries. I can appreciate that restaurants get busy, but the communication, service, and timing of the food could have been much better. Overall, I wouldn't wait 2.5 hours to eat here again. The food was okay, but the experience just wasn't worth it.

We were sat at the bar in front of the chefs who were back there whipping it up. We ordered the Roasted Bone Marrow which was ahhh-freaking-mazing! It was the perfect balance of salty and savory. It was served with toast. I ordered a lemonade which was yummy. She ordered a coke. We both ordered burgers and an order of fries to share. They came huge and very good. I kept mentioning that my fries were one of the best. We are kindly given a key lime pie which was to die for. I'm not even a dessert person and I couldn't stop eating the slice. I will be back the next time to I visit!

I got the hard lavender lemonade, yakool, and the tropical martini! They were all amazing, but the tropical martini had to come home with me and I haven't stopped telling friends about it. It had a sweetness, but not overly sweet, I loved it so much I actually am drinking one right now lol. It's an easy drink to grab and go. I've told quite a few people about this place since then and can't wait to plan a group visit. Yelp needed

Biggest Star - double patties, Chihuahua cheese crust, toasted sesame bun Properly smashed & seasoned beef in-between buns that hold well. Absolutely delicious. Love the Cajun style fries too.

If I wasn't sitting so close to another person, I may have stuck my face in the bowl and licked it clean. Alas, decorum strikes again.

Such a warm personality, incredible food, beautiful surroundings; lovely experience all around. (And they have a happy hour!)

Chips and salsa appetizer was enjoyable, cheese curds were amazing and we would go back for more. Our party got Buffalo wings that were huge and tasty, sliders that were homemade patties, and two orders of fish and chips. The portions, especially for fish and chips, were wonderful. We would visit again!

Stumble across Red Barrel...the drinks were good and the appetizers sweet sticky chicken was decent the fries were tasty. But my pasta dish was FULL OF SALT. I couldn't finish it. My Freind and husband did the fajitas with steak, chicken and shrimp and they cleared their plates so even though this is supposed to be an Italian place stick with the Mexican cuisine. The kid meal was a good deal and my 10 year old enjoyed it but it wasn't big enough portions so we ordered too. Will I be back? No but it was an interesting experience

Five stars for Bar Siena on Randolph, but the real shoutout goes to Alyssa!…read more She was managing an entire room, including the bar, and the place was absolutely packed. Despite how busy it was, she couldn't have been kinder, more attentive, or more generous with her hospitality.

Bar Siena is lucky to have her, and we'll absolutely be back!

The presentation was on point, but unfortunately, the drink itself didn't quite live up to expectations. It wasn't served cold enough, and the sweetness was overpowering, with the syrup taking center stage and very little noticeable vodka flavor. While the aesthetics were there, the temperature and balance of the drink missed the mark. A little refinement in the mix and a properly chilled pour would go a long way toward making this a standout cocktail. The service could also use some improvement, as the staff could have been a bit more attentive. On the plus side, the space has a nice vibe, and the music strikes a good balance without being overly loud. Overall, the atmosphere makes for a pleasant setting, but there's room for improvement when it comes to the cocktail quality and service.

We grabbed seats at the bar, and the cocktail list is a highlight, with a nice mix of classic and seasonal drinks. The 4 cheese tavern pizza was fantastic: super thin crust, cut into squares, and perfectly crisp. The ham and cheese croquettes were also very tasty and a great starter to share. My friend ordered the fish and chips, one of their signature dishes, which famously beat Bobby Flay on his show (a rare feat!). Based on how quickly it disappeared, it lives up to the hype. The only downside is that the bar seats are pretty uncomfortable, so you may want a table if you plan to linger. Still, the food and drinks more than make up for it. Highly recommend!

I couldn't believe Gyro 47 wasn't on Yelp already!…read more I've been here plenty of times over the past 14 years of living in Bronzeville, and they have never disappointed me. The food is good, cheap, and close by my home. What more could I ask for? I particularly love their gyro, of course, the gyro cheeseburger, pizza puff, and chicken. They have a pretty large menu to choose from too. Their food items always come with a fry and drink included. They do have room for a few diners on the inside and they have an ATM, as well. One of my favorite neighborhood spots that I will continue visiting for as long as I live in Bronzeville. Love this place!
