BLT w/ Sweet Pretzel Bun and Cole Slaw was a quick and tasty lunch if in a hurry. Good service. Not too crowded. All ages.

The grilled cheese on a pretzel is genuinely good, but risk takers should check out the Chicago char-grilled salad, which is topped with a hot dog.

This place is great for pre-gaming any night downtown! Bartenders are nice and the food is better than good! Take advantage of the specials! Best specials in South Loop!

Burgers are pretty standard. The Pretzel buns are good and the sweet potato fries are to die for! No refills on soda though as it comes in cans!

Great burgers and sandwiches. However, they just raised the prices by about $4 on the burgers and salads! Chicken sandwiches are still around $10.

This place gets a bad rap but I don't know why. If you don't get too creative with ordering and stick to the burgers, you won't be disappointed. The patty melt is a winner.

The folks behind deep-dish pizza have branched out to 12-ounce burgers, eight varieties of chicken sandwiches and “milkshake martinis” at this spot that’s sure to snag Michigan Avenue tourists. Read more

Order anything off the menu, you wont be disappointed! All of the food is amazing especially the BLT it is out of this world!!!

Great spot for post work drinks in the loop. Milkshake martinis (when on special) are a great indulgent "fuck it" drink.
Andrew PaukSeptember 7, 2014
They have an amazing Pretzel bread BLT and their coleslaw is one of a kind!!!

Salmon burger has wasabi. It's messy to eat, root beer is authentic

Stopped in before the bears game, amazing chicken quesadilla and very nice bartenders. Def goin back!

There are no more dollar shots. They have 3$ shots in Wednesdays but caught some purse snatchers so are thinking about eliminating special thoughts altogether
Ryan PenaApril 19, 2012
During HH, instead of ordering a Maker's and Coke, order a shot of Maker's and a Coke....then mix them together. Cheaper than a mixed drink!
Melanie DeeterMay 30, 2011
Sweet potato fries are covered in cinnamon and brown sugar....not the greatest combo. Sprechers in lake Geneva has them beat!

Try the sweet tea vodka with lemonade. Make it a double if you're ambitious...

For a fun appetizer for two try the nachos - definitely not a wimpy plate AND lots of cheese...

Those with truly ambitious appetites will opt for a 4.5lb skillet-served sausage/burger/waffle fry concoction named "The Challenger". Read more

An affordable chill bar downtown is rare. This is a good place. Enjoy!

Mac and cheese was different and good! Chop salad was decent, as was the pork BBQ.

Sit at the bar.. Bartenders are the best!
Andrew GoodrichOctober 8, 2011
Don't let them seat you at the awkward two top directly in front of the bathroom door!
Cherry 🍒September 1, 2015
We sat and we were waiting for 15 mins for the the waiter to get our orders. No one came and we left. People from the front apologized and immediately run to see what happened. But we just left.
