Cheesie's Pub & Grub - Lakeview
Cheesie’s Lakeview is a longtime Wrigley stop for indulgent comfort food, especially the jalapeño popper grilled cheese and creative, cheese-loaded sandwiches—ideal for postgame bites, late-night cravings, groups, and families. Regulars rave about the fun energy and standout hospitality from servers like Zola and Yolanda, though some report steep prices, inconsistent service, a less-polished atmosphere, and potentially bothersome flashing lights.

“Mm. Always a pleasure to stop by! First, I want to thank you 🙏 staying open during one of the busiest times of the year! Many of the neighboring businesses were closed. They can’t hang! It’s just that simple! It’s all about the cheese anyway! They can stay closed! 😉”
“The Balboa was great but I had the tenderize was lacking in flavor and the price for the amount of cheese curds is ridiculous. The waitress was quick on her feet tho and was taking care of a whole room while still greeting and serving! Great work but Kitchen needs a Lil help with portions 🙏🏽👍🏽”
“had a good time. i think i just got this regular grilled cheese. very yummy”
“Came in on a Tuesday evening to grab a snack. Tried to order the "kids" sized chicken tenders. The BAR tender, at the BAR (Brandon), which ID'd me to get in, told me that it was people 12 years and under. He was dead serious and incredibly rude about it. Make it make sense. Not mention you can order online and they wouldn't know or say anything. 10+years of patronage ruined by curmudgeon.”
“Food fire. Service fire. Vibes immaculate. Zola and rest of staff are the best 👌.”
“this place has been a staple for me over the last decade. phenomenal service, amazing food (jalepeno popper grilled cheese is beyond 🤤), and great drinks. always try to stop on our way back from wrigley !”
“miss yolanda is a gem! we stopped in to get food to go and have a drink while we waited. she was so so so sweet and made my day feel a little brighter :)”
“My friends and I were lucky enough to have Zola as our server last nite. I always appreciate a mix of humor, professionalism, and their ability to adapt to different personalities. The food was good but Zola was great. If they’re working I would highly recommend sitting in their section!”
“Love Cheesies! Fun vibes. Delicious food. Great for kids too. Zola is an awesome server!”
