Their hot chicken sandwich is always a good choice and we ordered their shrimp basket also pretty good. We shared a poutine, it was ok. The music tends to be loud and the service ok, but overall a pleasant experience

The crunchiest fried chicken I’ve ever had. It was very good and the fries with the garlic aioli were so yummy. Good drinks and service. Great patio seating as well. We will be back.

Another Andersonville favorite of ours. Good in the winter, even more fun in the summer in their outdoor seating. I recommend anything on the menu and the frozen drinks, house beer, and pickle soda are not to be missed. Always order a side of pickles with whatever you’re having. Free vintage video games & pinball to boot. I vastly prefer the Andersonville location to the original in Logan Square.

5 of 5 for everything! I love sitting outside here with my pup. Staff is incredibly friendly and always interacting with my little man. Some of the best fish in the city, and the hush puppies ! I also appreciate the portable card machines. Makes paying the bill much more efficient.

A very welcoming place with friendly staff! I often sit at the bar and read and have a few apps and a Negroni slushy as I wait for my fiance to finish work down the street. I see all sorts of folks and families. As a woman, sitting at a bar alone can be daunting, but I have always felt safe and welcome! The food is super yummy.

This place has consistently good food an service, plus this has the potential to be one of the best outdoor patios in town! What a great space. This time it was a hot day so i decided to try their pickle soda. To my surprise it was very refreshing (don't recommend it if you don't like pickles). I think this would be a good hangover brunch item The grilled chicken was perfectly charred outside and juicy inside. Definitely recommend this place. Service was very friendly
