Came for lunch today! Love the garage doors and outdoor seating. Fast-casual, order at the front. The murals and decor are cool, definitely suit nighttime better. They have a nice cocktail menu, and a lot of the seating is lounge style (couches with coffee tables). This would be a fun spot to watch some football. The food was satisfactory. I had the garlic noodles with chicken, $17 for lunch. My dad ordered the banh mi with fries. I'm assuming these prices are the same for dinner, but I really think they should be lower for lunch. I'm even fine with a slightly smaller portion, but Tuesday lunch shouldn't be more than $15 anywhere. I'll definitely be back to try something else! I love the outdoor seating. I'd forgotten about how jam-packed this block of Lakeview is with restaurants and bars.

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
Jasmine T.

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.

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.

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

I stopped by SideBar on a whim because I was looking for a casual place where I didn't have to…read moredress up. The outdoor seating was nice, with both covered and uncovered options, although the lighting outside could have been a little better. I was sitting on the patio because I had food from the taco truck. They checked IDs at the door, which wasn't an issue. At 34, I actually didn't feel much older than most of the crowd, which was a pleasant surprise. The drink selection seemed a bit limited. I wanted to try the frozen espresso that was advertised on the menu board, but they told me they didn't have it that night. That seemed a little odd, especially for a Friday night when you'd expect popular menu items to be available. Inside, the venue was spacious and featured a live band, which added to the atmosphere. It wasn't overly crowded, and I appreciated that. They also have outdoor beach volleyball courts. I didn't make it out to the courts, but I could see people gathered around watching the games. One thing I found a little unusual was that I was told I had to eat my food on the patio. It wasn't a problem, but it seemed odd since I didn't notice them serving food inside. I'm guessing it's probably a cleanliness or policy issue. Overall, I'd definitely come back, especially for a super casual night. The relaxed atmosphere, live music, and outdoor space made it an enjoyable place to hang out.

Sidebar is always a fun place to go in Lakeview. They have beach volleyball outside. My friends and…read moreI last came here on St. Patrick's Day when most places were closed for the night already. They had drink specials and good live music too!
