North Avenue Pub & Grill — Restaurant in Illinois

I really wanted to like this place, I had the parmesan crusted pork chop which was basically corn meal topped on my pork chop I tasted no parmesan. My kid got the burger which was over cooked and dry. dad got the Ruben which was so dry he almost choked on it. the only meal that wasn't terribly was my boyfriend's voodoo chicken sandwich, the chicken was cooked perfectly but there was no seasoning. the fries on the meals we obviously recooked.

While the food was passable, it’s not somewhere I would choose to dine again. We were served flat beer, and the waitress informed us that the issue wouldn’t be addressed until Monday, meaning patrons would be served flat beer throughout the weekend. Overall, not a place I would consider...
