Teddy O’Brian’s — Restaurant in Mundelein

Over the railroad tracks and down the street, to Teddy O'Brians we go...

It truly is kind of off the beaten path. This is a place for regulars. Our Burger Club visited on a Thursday night not knowing local artists came for an open mic night. It's a tiny place with tables crammed in at every angle and wherever they could put them. We grabbed a table unbeknownst to us in front of the open mic area. Some of the acts were good and some not so good. And they clearly had a following. One of the more interesting decor choices are the LPs that adorn the walls. Not the records themselves, but the LP jackets and covers. They're on the walls and they looked as if they were placed on the walls when they were first purchased as they were properly aged for their timeframe (classic rock mostly).

We all had the burgers (hence the burger club). The burgers and fries were reasonably good. We had also ordered wings as an appetizer to share and they were very good.

What surprised me the most was that there was one bartender/server and one cook in the kitchen. That was it and the bartender/server was johnny-on-the-spot. She took our order, served our drinks, checked on us, and repeated the process for all the other tables (all were taken) and all the patrons at the bar.

I was amazed at how hard she and the cook worked, despite the number of people, The burgers were okay, the wings were pretty good. But the service was hands down some of the best we had and the venue was welcoming to us outsiders into their open mic wonderland.

Go for the food and stay for the atmosphere and...

This restaurant was absolutely amazing! It is the definition of a hole in the wall. Service was amazing. As the picture shows they even made up a a drink just for us then wrote down the recipe. The was soup Chicken Enchilada was delicious. My wife hates clack beans and she still likes the soup. She got the fajita chicken wrap. That was really good! She put the whole thing away! I got the veggie burger with Gouda cheese with a huge amount of mushrooms piled on (I paid extra for them) I they came curly with fries or regular fries. The curly fries were just like Arby’s, which is a huge compliment from me. This place is highly...

Great people and great food! We’ve never had a negative experience here and we now frequent here over other bar/restaurants. Brian and the staff always make you feel welcome and you’re not waiting for a drink forever like some other places.

We decided to go there for the Super Bowl this past Sunday and they didn’t disappoint! served buffet style and everything was amaaaazing! From the nacho bar to the beef tenderloin!

It’s a smaller bar but makes it feel...
