this is a dive bar. you would think with a dive bar that you'd get really good drink specials. went there a few times. the drinks are definitely not on special and i think they're pricey. my bottled beer was about $3.50. i go to other places on happy hour and can get the same beer for $1.50 at a place at 35ave & peoria, $2.00 at sandbar, $2.50 at rt osullivans, and $1 for a draft at pullanos. so, i don't believe they have a happy hour. if they do, it sucks. the food is ok. also not on special. it comes across as an older, dirtyish, no frills bar. don't get me wrong. i like dive bars. but when there's no drink specials, no food specials, why go? would never recommend it to anyone.

I was going to give this place 3-4 stars, the service was mediocre but the food was actually pretty good. But then I saw the Sushi chef start throwing pieces of fish from the fridge on to his cutting board. In the process I saw him drop a piece of squid on to the floor. After he finished throwing the rest of the fish on to the cutting board he thought he was being slick and picked up that piece of squid walked over to the sink and started rinsing it off...... but I saw him do that, he turned around and we locked eyes and he knew that I caught him being shady. He quickly returned to rinsing off the fish and quickly threw it back into a bin inside the fridge. And then he quickly beelined it into the kitchen. Gross. This all happened as I was on my way out of the restaurant. I'm hoping that didn't happen to any of my fish or your fish for that matter.

I was always skeptical. Until I tried it. I think its a very unique spin on a burger chain. And happily the food is actually good there. The burgers are always fresh and always good. they toast the bread which is a nice detail. They have a tendency to cook the burger a bit too much, but its not enough to stop me from going. The fries are average. The hot dogs are insane and huge. I like the atmosphere and the seat yourself. no waiters or waiting on other people. just get up and get more drink or toppings if you want them. Pretty simple. But most importantly for a burger joint: the burgers are good here. Great flavors. And if you are adventurous you can try other meats like elk, ostrich buffalo, turkey and probably more. Looking at the other reviews I will add that in the five times I have been there I have not had a bad experience. Its more expensive than fast food, but its actually good and you get what you pay for.
