“Exceeded my expectations. . The French onion soup reminded me of Olde North's back in the day in West Chicago. The Pamatini was stiff but delicious and the staff was super attentive. Would definitely come back for Sunday mimosas and a proper dirty martini next time Im in the area. 10/10”
“I love the burgers here and whenever I'm in the neighborhood I like to grab a one. Tonight I ordered the fied egg burger with the duck fat fries and a chocolate brownie a la mode to go. The passion fruit martini was stronger than I expected it to be. Everything was delicious. My server Jayme was being shadowed and they were both quite pleasant. I sat in the dining area with the low tables and it was fairly quiet, the bar side was moderately noisy.”
“Good tasting food! Friendly staff. Great atmosphere to meet friends and hang out.”
“This was a cute date spot for sure, TVs for the guys to be entertained and wine for the girls to be entertained. The food was pretty heavy, so be prepared to get full from all of the fat and flavor! Sharing the duck fat confit sandwich is a must since it’s so flavorful. The fish and chips were okay, wish the fish was crispier. But overall not a bad spot.”
“Had the Sausage Flat bread and the Fatduck Fries with 3 dipping sauces and a white sangria.. the Food and the Sangria were both very good. Sat on the outside patio with various big screens for sport games with a great view ... OQ”
“Not sure. Yeah, you get it. Love the staff, food is a 7, when it's at it's best. Not bad for a bar, but they should do better given the stories being told.”
“Party of 5 with the in-laws. Good waitress, bad cook for a Saturday not that busy. Took very long time for meal overall. Meal with drinks $ 245+ cash tip. WHAT cook preps a meal to go out looking so dirty ? Waitress offered ice cream as a solution to make up for food. Not going back with guests.”
“The food was just okay. But the service was excellent, our waitress did a really good job. I wouldn’t come back again to eat though.”
