    Loving the cleanliness and atmosphere . Had the Philly cheesesteak and it was awesome !! Staff is /was wonderful !!!

    Chicken fried rice
    Victoria L.

    I got the chicken fried rice and my friend and I split the lettuce wraps. The food was delicious, but the service left much to be desired. The front of house staff had no clue what was going on but the chef in the back made sure we got our food before it got cold from sitting under the window for so long. Hopefully we'll have a better service experience next time because I thought the food was great.

    Great crispy wings and the lemon pepper hot is a must try! Bartenders are on point and the food if fire. A good spot to watch any sports event.

    These egg rolls were delicious

    The food was amazing. I had the Lo mein with shrimp, beef and steak. It was seasoned perfectly. The service was great. They were friendly and nice. The ambiance was natural and airy. The fresh air was a plus

    I really enjoyed my first visit to The Mayor! Football , great food and service! The burger and fries were spectacular. I also had a really nice ipa! The staff were all very nice and helpful! This is the perfect spot to grab a great meal. The atmosphere is pretty laid back and cozy. I'll be back for more!

    Walking in, it's just as nicely decorated as Mr. West's. I haven't been to East West yet but I assume it's the same vibe? Lots of open space and seating with lots of TVs for entertainment and an outdoor seating area. Service is 10/10! The young lady here today was the order taker, bartender and waitress and excelled at all while making sure I didn't need anything else throughout my time here. She was great and so nice! My food and drinks came out very quickly! I ordered a Wednesday special of the $11 Korean beef tacos, $7 Mr. West's margarita and an additional regular priced $10 strawberry lemon drop. Like I said, my waitress excelled at all of her jobs so the drinks were very good and the tacos were tasty! Tacos were very tasty and the wonton chips are good but I couldn't finish them all. Felt like I was eating empty fried calories lol. The menu is different than the other locations and I can't wait to come back and try something else.

    Cheeseburger with fries

    Everything I've had here has been delicious! The first time I tried the lemon pepper wings, catfish po boy, and a frozen cocktail. The wings were crispy and well seasonsd, the po boy was poppin, and the drink was potent. I co-worked for a while on the patio as well, totally my type of vibe. The next time I came with some friends and tried the burger...such a great decision! The bun was soft, the patty was flavorful, the cheese didn't taste like plastic. I know these sound like basic components but they're really doing the details well here. We also tried some chicken bites and eggrolls as apps but I ended up taking them home since I was so full. The staff's been super friendly each visit and they know the menu well since you can ask questions. Our food didn't take too long to come out either, everything was hot and fresh. This is definitely one of my new Lakeview favs :)

    The Mayor is one of my favorite places. You can't go wrong with any of the food or drink options here. When you enter the restaurant you can either sit on the side that gives you a sports bar feel with tons of TV's or the side that's your more traditional restaurant style. I have to add that the customer service is top tier. Everyone is extremely nice. My favorite bartender is Amy T. She's so personable and attentive and I look forward to seeing her when I visit. On to the food! A few of my favorite items are the chicken nachos, the beef noodles, the wings, and so much more. I highly recommend visiting this place. Be sure to get a Mr. West

    Thai chicken lettuce wraps
    Ashley S.

    I haven't been to this bar since it's been the Mayor, so was finally able to check it out. I remembered that the previous business had a lot of TVs and so since football season is finally here, that was my reason for stopping by. When you enter, you can place your order for food and/or drinks and put your card on file for an open tab or can immediately close out and then you seat yourself. The Mayor was very clean and tidy and had plenty of TVs. We ordered lemon pepper wings and the Thai chicken lettuce wraps. The wings were just "ok." They were very different from what I expected. The lemon pepper seasoning is almost like a powdery, white substance. We also noticed that the wings weren't tossed in the sauce they came with. It seems like the sauce was just poured on the wings, so as you can imagine, it was unevenly distributed. The wings also weren't "fresh" tasting. They tasted almost like they were freezer burned. The lettuce wraps were pretty good. This dish was definitely on the "smaller" size of an appetizer, but nonetheless, it was good. We also noticed they have a full bar, so you have a lot of options to choose from. Overall, pretty decent experience. Next time we will try something other than the wings.

    This place was suggested by a friend so I tried it. I love the decor and how open it was. They had the doors open, which resembled garage doors, for a nice breeze and the weather was nice. The garage doors were pretty cool along with the Asian decor. They had graphic on the ceiling which were cool as well. I got the Mongolian spicy garlic noodles with chicken. It wasn't really spicy just a tad from the peppers. The food was great, the service was great, our food came quick which is a A+ in my book. I will definitely be back

    Old bay shrimp plate
    Matthew M.

    So, pretty good experience here on my first trip. Staff was very nice and got my order taken care of quickly. The katsu bites were excellent. Great sauce. Lovely fry and crunch. It was just small for its $8 price tag. Similarly, the old bay shrimp plate was pretty good. Lovely tartar and cocktail sauce. Double-fry on the fries which made them nice and crunchy. The shrimp were well fried. Big issue? There were 6 shrimp (not jumbo) in an $18 plate. That's sort of untenable. Good amount of fries, and the slaw was great, but it was a bit pricey for me. I'm told the plate usually comes with 7 shrimp, but for whatever reason that was not my experience. I will return to try the bahn mi and another app, but first impressions are that it's a nice place that's somewhat overpriced compared to what my expectations were for a lunch out. However, the food is very good and worth your time.

    Unfortunately my favorite pad noodles are no longer on the menu. The only reason why I came. Not sure why it was empty and super dark. I guess I'll try something else.

    I have had this bookmarked forever. Not sure how or why I did, but I sure am glad that I did!!…read more It's an old school hole in the wall kind of place. These are my favorite kind of places in the world. From the moment I walked up and saw the big piles of wood outside I knew I was probably going to like this place. We had an amazing meal here. Every single bite was good. I ate myself damn near sick! I cannot wait to come back!! The day we were there the bartender was waiting on the whole place himself with just someone helping him run food and clear tables. We only had an hour before we had to be at an appointment, so when we sat down at the bar I got concerned that we would not have time to eat here. He was busy. He seemed behind. Thank goodness I was wrong. Once he finally got to us we were decided on our meals. He took our order on his little handheld register thing, grabbed our tasty beverages, and poof, off he went. C had the pulled chicken sandwich with deviled eggs and I had pulled pork, smoked chicken thighs, beans, and a giant pile of pork rinds. Holy shit it was good!!! I didn't pay attention to the fact that my thighs had AL white sauce on them until well after I had ordered. Had I know that, I would not have ordered them. I despise all things that have anything to do with mayonnaise. But.... Had I known, I would have never known. I fucking loved it! I could have eaten 10 of them. There were hands down the best smoked chicken that I have ever had. The pork was bad ass too! I dare say perfect. Beans were great, and the pork rinds side was massive and still warm from the fryer with a killer seasoning on them. There are not enough adjectives to describe this food. I am in love. I cannot wait to get some more of those damn chicken thighs!! '26 - 68

    I'm not a beer drinker but I do respect a fun place to squat and people watch. And this place fits…read morethe bill! Back Forty is huge-with plenty of seating to accommodate large crowds, couples or even families with little ones. There's plenty of big screens to watch the games on, and I would really love to come back during football season to do just that. I ordered their infamous Back 40 cheeseburger on this visit. While it wasn't my favorite, for a brewery it was definitely above average. It was juicy, made to order and fresh. I didn't care for the sauce nor the stringy onions so I would order it plain next time or try something else on the menu. The shoestring fries were well seasoned with something like garlic parmesan. They were my delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful as we placed our orders. This is a cool spot to hang with your friends, drink, eat and watch some sports or watch the trains go by. I enjoyed my visit and I'm looking forward to coming back.

    Not sure about the glowing reviews…read more Service is inattentive, and slow moving - a "that's not my job" attitude. Had to ask for the menu. Then had to ask for service. Staff very busy talking amongst themselves. Once service came (once) it was efficient and friendly. We tried the burger and the pizza. Loved the honey pepperoni pizza but the burger does not live up to the hype. The beers are indeed very tasty and, if we come back, we will only order those and the pizza.
