All the tables were full and customers were constantly coming and going. I can see why after checking em out. Pricing is fair. If you compare it to auntie Anne's they are cheaper with better quality ingredients being used. Service was very quick - there is a kiosk at the front counter or you're able to order with a staff member. Within 5 mins our snack was ready. My husband and I tried a salted pretzel with nacho cheese sauce and creamy mustard sauce. The pretzel itself was cooked perfectly. Texture wise it was somewhat crispy on the outside with a very fluffy center. The nacho cheese sauce was better than cheese sauces I've had before. The creamy mustard was reallll good, we ended up taking the remainder of it home so we could use it for something else.

It…read morewas quite busy because of the festival, but the line went quickly and the staff was on top of everything. My husband and I ordered a pretzel dog and the Monte Cristo stuffed pretzel to share. I loved the pretzel dog, it was my favorite. A good sized hotdog wrapped in pretzel with salt sprinkled on top, so yummy! The Monte Cristo stuffed pretzel was served with a raspberry serrano jam. It was tasty, but my husband and I thought it tasted better with mustard. It was good, but their pretzel dog won out over that. Next time I'm in the area, I'm going to revisit this restaurant. They have a lot of pretzels and stuffed pretzels to try.

I have to say everything absolutely exceeded our expectations. All apps we had were better than average and everyone in our party were beyond satisfied with their drinks. Espresso martini was fav favorite and one of the best I've ever had. The service was very active clearing plates, filling refills and ultra attentive to our needs. It's decorated beautifully inside and has an outdoor patio. Happy to see Alter has expanded and yet still kept the magic of their original location.

(full disclosure, we stopped in on a Monday night so that could be the cause for some of the experience....) We, a group of four, walked into a complete ghost town. There was barely a soul in the place. It didn't seem to affect anything with the food or service it just felt weird given the size of the bar and dining room area. Which, if you have a big group, this is a great spot to host a large gathering! Our waitress was very friendly and gave us ample attention, taking our orders quickly and delivering food that was hot and fresh. We had burgers (both were great but my Cartel was INCREDIBLE), a salad (tasty) and chicken fingers (yum!). Their burger menu has some fun options and covers a wide array of everything. The one thing that gave me pause, however, was that they only have pretzel buns (aside from gluten free). However, they were not dry at all and tasted delicious! The way a pretzel bun should! We left full and satisfied. I don't know how quickly we'll be back because there are so many other options for burgers out there but I'll certainly keep this spot in mind for the future!

I ordered The Ellen, their plant-based burger, and it was fantastic. It's a Beyond Burger patty topped with vegan cheddar, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and raw onion, all served on a soft pretzel bun. For a side, I had to try the poutine fries, and they were a total game-changer. They come out in a skillet and are absolutely loaded with gravy, cheese curds, bacon, and a dollop of sour cream. Super indulgent and the perfect comfort food. They charged extra for a dollop of mayonnaise! The service was very attentive. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

On this coldish Wednesday winter evening, it wasn't as busy and boisterous as our previous visits, and that was just fine for our usual catchup party of 3.  Sam was our fine and attentive server and she adequately took care of the whole dining room on this night. Arriving at 5:30pm, we took advantage of Happy Hour and had 6 beers by 6pm for $5 each.  We also had a cheese curds appetizer for $10 (discounted from regular $12). I had my usual 3 beers for our catchup session, namely: - Moreover hazy IPA, 6.5% ABV - Mango Double Marbles Imperial IPA, 8.0% ABV - Appetizer hazy IPA, 5.5% ABV For food, I had their chicken tikka masala platter for $22.  My colleagues had a high steak sandwich with salad ($20), and an Italian Beef with fries ($18).  All were delicious.  There is now a 3% credit card fee.  Overall, still one of the best Chicagoland brewpubs around.
