This was my first time here and I definitely will be back! I ordered the social with a fried egg and fresh jalapeños.. It was one of the best burgers I had in a long time! I like the seasoning and I like how the burger tasted! If you want a good burger, then spend little bit more money and come here! This is a good burger/lunch spot! Yeah, burger comes with fries, even the fries were legit ! There’s outdoor seating and also they took us upstairs where there’s more seating, It’s a nice place. The bathroom was clean as well.. The Server/bartender didn’t make my drink too strong, which I requested.. I will be back!

This was my first day coming to Chicago and this food just welcomed me with love! I had the (Wagyu Smash) It was so tender and delicious. The rest of my group thought their food was amazing! Even the egg on my burger was cooked to perfection! I would 100% recommend this!!!

Some friends of mine and I went here 15 minutes before the kitchen closed and they still gave us excellent service. The food was really good, service was excellent, we got our food in less than 10 minutes (there where 4 of us), and we will definitely be regulars here.

Overall good greasy food if you want something heavy. A little pricey but big portions. Only note is they do not let you order from the kids menu without being a child. Burgers are really delicious though.

The place is stunning if you’re on a date or even if you’re doing something with your company folk, it’s such a cool open bar theme plus open entryway with tables. The walls, chandeliers, everything is really classy. We went later in the day, after 9pm, and the kitchen was open later than other places so we popped over here. The beet salad was amazing but a bit dry so I asked for extra dressing on the side, it took over seven minutes for my server to bring that over, but I know she was probably just tired and it was the end of the day and everyone’s just Cleaning up. The bar was fairly busy till the end of the night. We also had the Carnitas tacos and they were excellent. I would say the cost is on the higher end, but that’s what you pay for the aesthetic in the seating and it was really nice. Bathrooms are clean in the back and the noise level was moderate.

Overall, the place is cooler than it is delicious. Rooftop patio gives excellent vibes on a warm Midwest evening. I had a bacon egg and cheeseburger with 2 wagyu patties and it was mid. Certainly not worth $21. Flavor profile was just salt on salt - it needed a fatty condiment to balance the palette. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed with the pace but she was super nice each of the few times we saw her. Their bar menu seemed to be the biggest standout with George Stagg ready to be poured $40/oz.

Some good. Some not so good. Pretzel bites were good but the sauces were better. Fried pickles were ok but the breading different, crunchy bits. The burgers had very little taste so get some good toppings. The fries were very tasty. The onion rings were HORRIBLE!!! Look at my photo. It was like 5 times the amount of fried oily bread compared to the thin onion skin. The Mac and cheese was extremely bland. Good news? WarPigs IPA was quite good. So, like I said, some good, some not so good.
