The Scout Waterhouse + Kitchen

“I really Enjoyed this restaurant and atmosphere.”

I really Enjoyed this restaurant and atmosphere. Not sure why it has a 4.1 star. Maybe someone went at the wrong time. Not sure. But I went for lunch. Wasn’t very crowded. Customer service from when I first walked through the door was amazing! Food is to die for! The owner was even there eating. The ambiance is simple but elegant. I even thought about my clients hosting weddings at this facility. I had the short rib grilled cheese, with tomato soup, the loaded nachos as an appetizer and an old fashioned. The food was so good and a beautiful presentation. Only issue I had was I requested a sprite and there was lipstick on the glass. Honest mistake though, waiter sincerely apologized and got me a clean glass. The old fashion was perfect. My sister got a mojito she enjoyed hers as well. I would go back multiple times! Visit!

“I went here for an event and it was phenomenal.”

I went here for an event and it was phenomenal. The food was delicious. We had those pulled pork sliders and the pizza and I loved it. The Ambiance and all the stuff were phenomenal and the hats are great. The only snapback hat I've ever bought in my life. I will definitely suggest checking this place out!! The party was an ugly sweater party and I only had a Scooby-Doo Christmas t-shirt and hat... In case you were wondering about my tire in these pictures 😂

Great service and food a real sports bar atmosphere. The foot long grilled cheese was fun, the tomato basil dipping sauce was delicious.

Scout is a go-to spot for a central location sure to have great food, great space, loads of TV screens showing every sport imaginable. Parking can be challenging at times but if you're familiar with the South Loop you already know how to find the best spots. The Foot-Long Grilled Cheese sandwich is a must try and so are the Pot Roast Nachos. Great beverages as well. Highly recommend!

“Great food with large portions and a great variety of snacks.”

Great food with large portions and a great variety of snacks. The selections of beers is also great. I recommend the nachos, the grilled cheese and the wings. It is also an excellent place to watch sports.

“Always pleased when I come here for lunch.”

Always pleased when I come here for lunch! Never can go wrong with their grilled cheese or the shrimp po'boy. And their guacamole is always on point. Staff and servers are very kind and always checking on you.

“Had such a nice food experience here.”

Had such a nice food experience here! Featuring the Mac and cheese, short rib grilled cheese and tomato soup, and chicken parm. The food was amazing but my only complaint is that it was TOOOO loud in there, and that’s coming from a bar gal! It was hard to have a conversation with our friends at the dinner table and we were kind of yelling to hear each other. Overall would be back for the food! Yum!
