    1/2 Pound of Jumbo Wings & Pretzel Bites
    Andrew P.

    My partner and I plus a friend came here after the 2024 Pride Fest as it was a short walk away from the event and we needed to 1) get away from all of the craziness and expensive covers at bars, and 2) we really needed to eat lunch. We came here hoping for some good food with some drinks and we really enjoyed our experience overall. The place got really packed over the course of our time here with more people who had the same idea as us. With that came slower service and our server forgot a few things and mixed up our drinks but she was really nice and it didn't affect our experience all too much. My friend ordered a burger and my partner and I split an appetizer. We got pretzel bites and 1/2 pound of jumbo fried shrimp and everything was actually so good! We were impressed. After a bunch of drinks and food, the bill was pretty up there in price as expected. My only two complaints was that the bouncer guy at the beginning was a little weird and didn't make us feel exactly welcomed when he sat us. Secondly, it took forever for us to pay to get out of the place because the bartender/servers were inundated with people. They also were vaping behind the counter and not showing enough urgency when they were so many people waiting to order drinks and also customers at tables waiting on food, service, etc. I figure coming back here on a less busy day would be the best idea. Can't imagine what it's like during Cubs games. Yikes

    Went for a Washington football game. The staff was really attentive until after the game was over. The burger and fries were ok, but nothing special.

    If you are a university of Washington fan, this is the only spot in the city to watch the games! The back half of the tavern is reserved for the watch party. Despite the large crowds, the small staff make consistent rounds and took care of everyone at the bar as well. Very impressed with the service. During the holidays, the place is decked out for Hanukkah as well, with dradles and blue/silver decor.

    Awesome place ! Chi was super cool. Dillon was great to talk to as well. Highly recommend this spot to hang out and grab a beer

    I ordered via Uber tonight and it was my first experience with this place. Despite the Uber driver kicking butt and getting my order to me in record time, the impossible burger was burned, the lettuce was wilted and disgusting. I had to throw it out. 2 stars because the cheese curds were completely on point. Not enough for me to recommend or order again. Soooo disappointed. Please get some QC going in the kitchen.

    Solid bar. Good drinks and good food! Nice because it is couple blocks away from Wrigley Field. They have a juke box which is cool but it only plays like 1 minute of the song you choose. Normally most Juke boxes play the full song. The service was so so. I think they were understaffed. We asked our waitress for a menu and a water 3 times when ordered our beers. Never ended up getting the menu or water. They ran out of chicken wings(tried to order 12 wings). We got the last 6 wings in the restaurant.

    My friend and I stopped by to watch the Chelsea v. Manchester game around 2pm on a Thursday. I thought the overall bar had a very friendly atmosphere filled with people who are passionate about football! There were plenty of open tables when we walked in and the waitstaff were quick to come around and were super friendly as well. We both ordered a diet coke and I got the honey butter chicken tenders with a side of curly fries. I thought that the chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce that came with it was super good. Probably the best part of the meal. The curly fries were good as well and cost an extra $3! The serving sizes are a bit smaller than what you'd expect, but I was definitely full by the end. I would definitely come back for the friendly service and fun atmosphere!

    Wagyu sliders- sooo good!

    We came here before the Cubs game and had a great experience! They have many indoor tables as well as a spacious outdoor back patio which was adorable! Everyone at my table ordered chicken tenders with fries and I tried the wagyu sliders which were SUPERB. There were 3 in the order and each came on a pillowy and perfectly buttered and toasted brioche bun and was topped with perfectly caramelized onions and a delicious burger sauce. The burgers were cooked perfectly and the whole meal was juicy and delicious. Would absolutely come back just for those sliders!! I would also have to add that the sweet potato fries were not worth it.

    This was our very first stop in Chicago while awaiting check in for our Air BnB. This is right down the street from Wrigley, and get quite crowded around games. We enjoyed our time here. We had great service, terrific beers, and met some great people! Would definitely be back!

    I had the best time at Graystone recently in their patio area. Even on a chilly January night, it was kept to a comfortable temperature. COVID protocol was followed- social distancing and masks are definitely in place. The food was awesome, especially the tacos. They are huge and definitely not your typical taco. Definitely a spot to check out while in Wrigleyville!

    Greystone Tavern at 3441 N Sheffield about 1 block north of Wrigley Field. I met my Cubbie die hard friends to be there for the home opener for the Cubs 2017 season. Right after arriving it started to rain postponing the beginning of the Cubs Home Opener about 90 minutes. Part of the delay was the rain and the Cubs raising their 2016 World Series banner (F--in A). 108 years in the making. To say this was long overdue would be an understatement. Greystone is a restaurant/bar with a ton of TV's to view the sporting events. There really isn't much to differentiate this place apart from any other bars in the neighborhood They have a small food menu, but I grabbed a bite before I got there because my friend doesn't eat anything. Much to my surprise she actually ordered food and she actually ate it. Like I said the food was very non de script. The chips were straight out of a bag. I ordered a Korean taco that was very spicy. The meat was poor quality picking out pieces of fat & gristle (ehh never order that again) The only saving grace was Amy our server. She is such a sweetheart & was awesome always checking to see if we needed anything. She comp'ed us a few shots which was very nice. She was rewarded very well for her personality and excellent service. Thanks Amy for stellar service you are very much appreciated

    Wow! So happy I finally got to come here. They have recently started accepting some reservations…read moreand I was lucky enough to get one. I understand why they are famous for their burgers. I had the single cheeseburger and it lived up to the hype. I learned that the single burger is actually a double and the double is actually a triple. I was recommended to add an egg and bacon to the burger and I'm glad I did. Each bite was a glorious burst of flavor. The bacon is epic. Thick juicy slices. The cheeseburger was perfect. I didn't need additional condiments and that never happens for me. The fries were good too and came with a delicious aioli. For beverages, I loved my Arnold Palmer. I also tried a cocktail--the Long Island Iced Coffee. It was pretty strong. I added a shot of bourbon cream to it and that sweetened it up and made it perfect for me. Unfortunately, I didn't have room for dessert. Cute restaurant. Cozy inside. They have an outdoor patio as well. If you don't have a reservation, be prepared to wait. Excellent food. Excellent service. Jennifer took great care of me and made great suggestions. It's pricy but it's worth it.

    Several people who have either visited or lived in Chicago told me to try the infamous cheeseburger…read moreat Au Cheval so I made it a point to stop by during my trip. I planned to dine at Au Cheval for Sunday lunch and unfortunately there weren't any reservations available on Resy for lunchtime when I checked. Of note, Resy charges $2.50 per person to book the reservation which does not go towards the bill. After looping around for parking and finding a metered spot, I checked in at the restaurant shortly after 11:30am and was told I was 28th in line and the host could not quote a wait time due to the inclusion of online reservations. I thought that was a bit odd so I ended up walking around to explore the surrounding businesses. I finally received a text that my table was ready around thirty minutes later. The restaurant itself is not big but gives off an old fashioned vibe which I guess correlated with the type of food served. I ordered a single cheeseburger, a side of thick cut peppered bacon, and a side of French fries. I figured it was more economical to order a side of bacon rather than adding it to my burger so I can eat as much or as little as I wanted. The food came around fifteen minutes later. The burger itself did not look as big on the plate as I expected, although it was apparent how thick the two hamburger patties were. Since everyone was raving about the burger I had high expectations which unfortunately were not met. The burger tasted like a burger found at any average diner across the country. The bacon pieces were thick and flavorful but I don't think they elevated the burger as much as I'd like. Also, I wished there were cheese options rather than offering only American cheese which is probably the cheapest cheese that can be added on a burger. The fries reminded me of In-N-Out fries but the fries at the bottom of the cup were way too salty as if all the salt was added to the bottom of the cup instead of trickling down after being sprinkled on the fries on top. Considering all the hype about Au Cheval and the claims that their cheeseburger is one of the best burgers in the country or world, I was very underwhelmed. If this burger were to represent the Chicago food scene on a national level, it should rank lower than several other major cities in the United States.

Our dinner guide, Nicholas, was superb. Very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested two perfect spirits from the bar. My wife had the Irish old fashion which was excellent.

It came with pita bread which added to the dinning experience. Just wonderfully enjoyable. My wife enjoyed the Fish and Chips which beat Bobby Flay. True words from the menu. Wife said if was the best fish and chips she has ever had. Then came the dessert. Now I asked Nicolas and he suggested Pavlova and Blood Orange. Which lead me to survey Margaret and she suggested Sticky toffee date cake. After a friendly jostling back and forth of desert knowledge Greg the Maitre-d made also suggested the Sticky toffee. Both came and to be honest both were outstanding. Excellent choices. All and all this was a great dinning experience from beginning to end. We will return next time we are in Chicago.
