“My husband and I just stumbled across this place and it was awesome. Great atmosphere, he loved his brisket and my burger we both agreed was one of the best burgers we have ever had (The Cali burger). Our waiter was so nice and super helpful. We are only here for five days but we will definitely be back before we go home.”
“Exceptional service by friendly staff, food is outstanding. Drinks were also very delicious. The bartender was very nice and gave us a complementary drink on him as well for the playoff game, which the Bears ended up winning, which was even better!!! Live music was also a hit!!”
“We had fun in this place! I like the drinks and the food. The crew members are very approachable. We stayed at the bar table, so it’s easy for us to order drinks. However, many tables are available aside from the bar.”
“Delicious! Ribs, wings, and Mac n cheese were all amazing! Delicious food and fun atmosphere. The brisket was so good. Perfect blend of lean and full flavored cuts. The Mac n cheese was a great side too. Sits like a brick...just like it should!”
“DJ was the most attentive and gracious server. His recommendations were all hits! I substituted the fries for brussel sprouts because I needed a veggie with the large portions. Delicious!”
“We’re from Michigan. Here’s for dance. Great dinner. Live music was cool. Good food. Only downside was slow service.”
“The Bub team did an incredible job hosting us for the Super Bowl. Everyone was really on top of it and there were no issues with being able to watch the game. Our out of town family was impressed and we were so happy to have such a great place to share with them. Jeffrey was so enthusiastic and hospitable. Thanks from Elizabeth at RPM Italian!”
