Twin Anchors Review

Finally accomplished a life-long goal for this life-long Chicagoan, of dining at Twin Anchors last weekend. It was as good as its reputation! The ribs were tender-fall-off-the-bones great, and the "zesty" bbq sauce was not too spicy. Onion rings, creamed spinach, and some great micro beers (from a large of craft beers and ales) rounded out a memorable dining experience. A word to the wise: if you go on a Friday or Saturday, plan to get there before 6:00. We did, and got a table for 6 just before the crowds poured in.

The Lucky Monk Review

Ate there earlier tonight. Great place. Second time there. Traveled 45 minutes from Naperville to eat there. Good thing I made reservation in advance, as there was an 1 1/2 hour wait when we arrived. We had an appetizer of hot pretzel with 3 different sauces. Yummy! For dinner, I had a unique chicken sandwich and my wife had a fabulous burger. Both were tasty! We shared a beer sampler, 6 glasses, of the Lucky Monk's home brew(s). We enjoyed all 6, as they were different ! We finished our meal with dessert, large homemade brownie, tasty and soft, with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. After we finished, we stayed till 10:30 PM and the restaurant, lounge, and bar were still filled with people. Our bill was fair. We plan to go back again soon !!!

Grillroom Chophouse & Wine Bar Review

My wife and I recently dined at Chicago's Grillroom Chophouse. The experience was fantastic. The food was great, and the staff was efficient and personable. We had the Porterhouse for two. It was fabulous, cooked to perfection!!! And I truly believe the best I have had coast to coast.

Bill's Pub Review

I love Bill’s Pub! It’s a great neighborhood bar with down-to-earth people! I always have a great time when I go there! The owners Bill & Diane are the BEST! They go ALL out on the holiday decorations and their parties are so much fun! I feel like I am amongst family when I go there.

This place is great! Best Jerk Chicken and they give you so much food! The mac & cheese is to die for. And the Jamaican Rum Punch is tasty and strong! We had a great dinner and then stayed for the DJ and it was a great time. We will be back1

Cava Restaurant Review

Place was packed so we had some food in the bar area. Everyone was real nice, food was great. The atmosphere was just fun. Something new for the area. Very pleased with everything. And 2 really cute bartenders on Saturday night when I was there.

Finn McCool's (Schaumburg) Review

Great place to eat & drink before or after a game, even a day shopping at Woodfield Mall. We've been stopping here before or after Cubs & Bears games for the past 2 or 3 years and recommend it to all our friends in Rockford and Rockton.

Hidden Shamrock Review

I stopped in on a rainy Sunday afternoon and had a really nice time here. The owner, Cathy, was great. My date and I grabbed seats on the comfy leather couches in the back (by the working fireplace mind you), watched the Bears game and took advantage of the different games they had- Connect 4 definitely made an appearance. Good times.

Cava Restaurant Review

I live in Edison Park and usually head to EP restaurants/bars. Saturday night I researched new places and Cava Park Ridge came up - I grabbed my friends and we headed out. When we first pulled up, there was no sign (later we learned it’s coming mid-December), but we were pleased to be offered FREE valet. We were greeted very kindly and asked if we had reservations (we didn't). Since the place was PACKED it was 15 min wait to get a table and we could wait at the bar...and some bar it was!!! I thought I was in a hotel bar in Vegas. There were two really cute bartenders who were quick to get our drinks. All I can say is MARTINI FLIGHT! For 10 dollars you get to try THREE martinis! My friends opted for wine and their pineapple martinis. We were all delighted. On top of it all the bar was high energy and crowded - could it be - a good bar in Park Ridge? YES! We were seated 15 minutes later; our server was great! We learned the place had been open 3 days and that's why there was no sign in front and why we couldn't get the appetizer we ordered. Oh well! No reason to spoil our dinner. We got fried calamari - WOW!!! They even had some fried onion strings on them. For dinner I ate salmon and my friends had pastas and a lamb special. Very good! After dinner we went back to the bar. As it got later - I'd say probably around 10, they turned up the sound and started playing some great music! Overall, this was a great experience. I will DEFINITELY be back!

Harry Caray's (Rosemont) Review

Awesome steaks and great service made our last minute choice to eat at Harry Caray's one to remember. We watched the final game of the world series on a big screen TV and had some drinks in the bar after our meal...I think I found my new favorite spot.

Trader Todd's Adventure Bar Review

I haven't been to Trader Todd's in years but I met Donald Gibb there one night and he is one of the friendliest guys you could ever meet! He got up and sang Karaoke with my friend and me and it was a riot! Next time I'm back in Chicago I'm going to take my son in there with me.
