Heard great things about the vegan options that were at Bat17 Lombard so I was really excited to try here but ultimately was left feeling disappointed.

Nice beer selection, staff were friendly and corned beef sandwich was good. Potato skins were over cooked, potatoes inside the crispy skin were mush, almost liquid. The toppings were good (sharp cheese and real bacon) so maybe a bit too long in the fryer? We will be back.

First time here and from the moment I entered I was greeted warmly and told to seat anywhere. I ordered some wings , a burger and a drink(alcohol) . Everything was good from the service to the food . I came here because I had a little time to kill until a meeting later that evening……….I’ll be back !!! Definitely a recommended spot for good food and good drinks .

Last night 8/25/23 I bought a hamburger from this place. It was crisp burnt and black on both sides. I am very suprised they would this sell to a customer. Please inspect your food before eating!!!!

The salad was really good. The portion was good enough for the price and I really liked the chicken. There were a lot of veggies and a lot of variety in the food. I did not like the chicken tortilla soup too much though.

I started with the pretzel bites and beer cheese. I split The combination mini slider and it was so good. I picked the chicken salad with bacon, pulled pork, fried chicken, and sriracha chicken. The mini sliders are pretty big and you could easily cut each one in half. The portions are huge, indoor and outdoor seating, and an extensive drink menu. Nice spot in Evanston for good food

Went in on a Tuesday night and service was slow with not a lot of people in but when we were served they were nice and the food was tasty with nice size portions for the price, with leftovers for the next day. Nice size menu with good options from burgers to sandwiches and salads and vegan and vegetarian options. Beer and cocktails available the “Drunk Bunny” cocktail was tasty and fruity. Slow service with only a couple employees working but as we were just having a good time enjoying dinner and each other’s company it was a nice time. Booths and tables and bar top seating available. In a nice area next to different apartments and other restaurants and businesses in the heart of Evanston. A lot of people were coming in and picking up food to go.
