Matt is a great bartender, personable and attentive. Had chix tenders and they were the best I've had in a long time! Great portion, very meaty and crunchy! Some great daily specials too. Don't miss my fave dive in the city just under the el tracks!

“I go past this place on my way to work and I’ve always wanted to try it.”
I go past this place on my way to work and I’ve always wanted to try it. So I finally went in and picked up a preorder. The burger was great, but the bun was soggy. The burger had no mustard or ketchup on it and I had to use the ranch dressing that came with my salad. The salad was just ok. I would go here again .

“I think it's a good authentic cozy place, quite cheap, quite noisy, quite crowdy.”
I think it's a good authentic cozy place, quite cheap, quite noisy, quite crowdy. But the menu here on Google maps is outdated, check photos attached. I would say that it's very good but I have to mention about my experience. Their Turkey burger was good but quite cold, a waitress was not very friendly, maybe because I'm not very well in English and didn't know exactly what I want and didn't understand some phrases as well. There is no free wifi here. Well, maybe it's not so necessary, but wanted to work on my notebook, and I had to use my mobile hotspot. But I definitely like the place, especially my table near the window and quite affordable and delicious food, a perfect location near the cta station, river, downtown, etc. Visit the place of you're in Chicago.
