Derno's — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Let me first say this is based on SERVICE. I see that everyone else has had a great experience at good ol' Dernos which confirms exactly what I was already thinking.

I visited this place on Friday. May 10 around 8 PM for a Ritual order pickup for Eats Week. The person behind the bar was EXTREMELY rude. I walked in and he said absolutely nothing. There were THREE people in the bar. Him and two people sitting at the bar. I noticed that he was in the middle of a conversation so I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt on the fact that he did not acknowledge me despite making very clear eye contact. One of the men he was talking to decided to stop the conversation. He said: Hey, I also work here, you need something? I said I was picking. The person behind the bar continued his story. Again, I said to myself I will wait until his story his done. The person he was speaking to me looked at me again and said: Do you need something? I said, yes I'm picking up. Again, nothing from the man behind the bar.

I finally said loudly, Hey excuse I'm picking up. The man, said oh yeah well you were on the phone so I didn't say anything. Now, I 100& understand this perspective. However, when a customer walks into your establishment, you acknowledge them whether or not they're on the phone. He goes on to say, not to me, but the two men sitting at the bar how he's old school and doesn't acknowledge people on the phone. Hunny, this is a bar not a 5 Star restaurant and I was picking up not trying to make an order. "Picking up for Jasmine" is FOUR words that would have taken less than 10 seconds. I don't think I need to end a phone conversation to say that. When he handed me my food, there was a business card attached. However, he removed it making it very clear I was not welcome back. If I hadn't already paid for my food, I would...

If I could leave a worse review I could. Got attacked by multiple women In this bar as staff members stood by witnessing this. Was brought outside after this and was attacked multiple times by the same women. Was told to walk home alone because Uber was “taking too long”. Was attacked again by the same group of women and told to leave alone. I called police for an escort to my Uber and was antagonized by the staff and the women. Many slurs were used toward me and I tried to leave but was again attacked. I had to flag down police on the street for help from this situation. Terrible security and a worse crowd. Absolutely disgusting. Worst experience I have ever had in absolutely any establishment. I was also charged far beyond my order hours after being forced to leave after being attacked. Please note that I only...

If you’re racist just say that ……. Last night I went to this establishment to grab a bite with friends. When we entered after security check our identification no on acknowledge us . Everyone looked at us with with strange looks. We thought maybe because it’s late. After sitting and being ignored for 10 minutes we asked can we get some assistance. The gentleman at the bar rudely stated no I’m working at the bar. We then asked who is the waiter he stated on the most brash and abrasive manner I am and kept talking to the people at the bar. As we got up he stated “You people can wait like you should” I have never felt so unwelcome in my life as a foodie I asked another foodie of color and they stated it happened to them as well. Don’t go to a place where segregation is...
