Beautiful neighborhood bar with lots of charm. Great service and great staff. It was our first time there. Both my wife and I ordered the beefcake hamburger one with fries and one with tots . I started out with the tater tots that tasted like corn tortillas and then I tried my wife’s fries, which also tasted like corn tortillas and burned oil. I guess the beefcake hamburger supposed to be Wagyu beef, which it was dry and tasted like flat grill that wasn’t cleaned properly, this is not a review to criticize your food. I just think if the owner would tweak a few things for example, not using the same fryer for tortillas, which have a very strong flavor that affects other foods and divide the griddle and four and use 1/4 for beef 1/4 for fish 1/4 for vegetables 1/4 for buns that their food would be amazing the Wagyu beef patty unfortunately I could tell from a mile away that it was frozen and it was dry and that’s a pity. Paying $17 for a wagyu hamburger that is dry is not expensive but also is disappointing because when I heard Wagyu and I’ve had A5 Wagyu many times it just melts in your mouth I wish they would takeoff the frozen patty from the menu, make your own blend of beef and become a very very well established neighborhood bar with great food. I would love to see more attention to detail on the food. I know that a bar makes money and drinks but I don’t drink much I like very good food and if you could capture both expects people will come in not just a drink and your average ticket per table would be way higher and you attract other people from other areas but I did appreciate the service. I did appreciate the establishment and I love that old bar. I will be coming back more and more and hopefully see more...
Read more4.5 stars. My Buffalo born soul is forever on the hunt for good wings in Chicago. The wings we tried last night at the Dunning Pour house I'd rank pretty high amongst all the wings I have had in the 15+ years I've lived in Chicago. They have bleu cheese (though they are served with ranch and you need to ask for bleu cheese up front), the size of the wings are on par with Bar Bill and Duffs, the Buffalo sauced wings could have used a bit more sauce, and over all they need to be more crispy to really curb my craving for wings when I am homesick. I will order them extra crispy next time I go and see if that bumps my review to a full 5 stars. The soup of the week my partner had was delicious, the tots were hot and crispy, and Monday they offer $4.00 drafts (including cider). The atmosphere was chill - sports on the tv - and the staff was very friendly. Looking forward to trying other items...
Read moreWent here for the first time a year ago and had the best burger we have ever had, but couldn’t remember the name and have been trying to find it again ever since! FINALLY stumbled on it again and it was even better this time! I had a burger and my girlfriend had the fried cod. Burger was perfectly cooked and not super greasy and the cod was moist with a light and almost fluffy outside. The coleslaw was fresh and the bartenders were great with helpful recommendations. Only downside was there were a couple families there with VERY young children and even one in a stroller! Maybe it’s just us, but 9:PM on a Saturday in a busy bar seemed...
