“Ash, is the man! Took great care of me and the food was great! I’ll come back for sure!”
“Came in for bloodies and the loaded one did not disappoint. We also had the fried pickles and elote dip. They have plenty of seating inside, as well as an outdoor patio.”
“We visited this tap for lunch and the food was delicious, especially the appetizer platter. We are from out of town and would definitely be back!”
“Alright so here I was, I missed my layover flight at ORD and has to spend the night. Rented a car to go explore the city. Asked a few ppl where to go and they recommended this spot THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT . Beers were on point, and I legitly been telling my self these poncho wings are the best I ever had, they were so delicious and the Parmesan fries were amazing. But most importantly the vibes in there were on point. Bartenders were great but special shout out to the older gentleman with the glasses and the younger one from Ecuador. I was not in Chicago for long but this place did it, and I will make sure every time I am in town I stop by this place. Made my 1 night experience in Chaco great. I def recommend if you can’t tell by no. P.S, South Asia host at the front door is really pretty also”
“Finde die Firecracker Wings mit Knochen der Hammer!!! War jetzt 3x zum Essen. Bedinung super...so wie es sein soll 💪🏻”
“Awesome! Fresh food and great service! The Mac and cheese side is huge!”
“Good wings, great service and a big place for sports-ing watching. The outside patio looks really nice but we sat indoors. Full bar too.”
“Nice neighborhood tavern for a quick meal. Not consistent food quality. Tried the burger a couple of times and they were very different. Friend got a Caesar salad and it was served in a warmed bowl which affected the texture and flavor.”
“The wings were decent in size and delicious. The fries were good too.”
