Reviews
Really nice laid back neighborhood spot that has incredible food deals Mondays and whiskey deals Wednesdays. Their Waygu beef burger was to die for too. The fries were also so good that I’m reconsidering my love of small cheval.
Was a great time with great service! We went with the city pass and it as well worth the visit.
Staff was friendly and food was good bowling alley food. Would love to go back on the next visit.

Great Pub, Great Good, Great Service, Great Roof Patio . I dig this Biker Bar !!!! Stop in have a beer and a shot enjoy great food and walk around and look at alittle ole’ skool biker history before the hipster and yuppy took it over . cheers!
Twisted Spoke is the best. Everything on the menu is incredible. These cocktails are amazing. The food is even prettier. It’s on a cool corner, has a rooftop patio and gets a ton of sun.
I checked this place out today with my boyfriend!
Very cool games, and we went all out on one ticket winning zombie disk pusher machine there that helped us get loads of tickets! We went home with some very cool prizes I wanted. He got me a cute plush husky, a led night light that would light up stars on my bedroom ceiling, and some small squishes and pop rock candy.
It’s 21+ to get in the building and than the arcade apparently? Luckily I’m 24, he’s 25. I wonder if that’s only on the weekends or always like that? As I saw kids let in if they were with an adult.

Wings decent just a lil too hard, drinks suck no premiums no frozen drinks no variety! Waitress was awesome she complimented our needs we disliked 👌
had to wait 3 hours for mediocre food, They forgot my water, which is crazy bc it’s water. then watched them spill some kids fries. Been here twice both times i’ve hated every second! The dumb thing asking if i went for dinner or lunch, but idek know anymore, it was supposed to be lunch now it’s 6pm.
Overall, my experience at Lucky Strike Social in Wrigleyville on a Saturday night was a blast. The arcade was the main attraction for us, and we were not disappointed. The bar was a nice touch, allowing us to grab a drink to enjoy while playing games.
The arcade card system was a bit pricey, but the variety of games available made it worth it. While we didn't try the food at the bar, it is available and they have a wide range of options, but again a bit pricey.
We decided to grab some tacos at the restaurant across the street at El Burrito Mexicano. Phenomenal place to get Mexican food.
If you're interested in bowling, make sure to reserve a lane in advance.
The venue is spacious and has a lot to offer, making it a great spot for groups of friends or families. Just be aware that on Fridays and Sundays after 9pm, it is 21 and over only.
I would definitely recommend Lucky Strike Social for a fun night out.

This is my go to place when I want Italian Beef . The sandwich and sausage is delicious. A little pricey but it's worth it . The staff exhibit great customer service , the bathrooms are clean .And while eating you can have an alcohol beverage while watching the game or dine on the patio. And did I add it's dog friendly on the patio and they provide the day water and treats . I so love this place . Stop by ,you won't be disappointed
I love their Bloody Mary and burgers. The atmosphere looks like a bikers bar but it's so much more than that. Staff is friendly like talking to a friend. They have a huge list of bourbons from every level.
The food is at best meh. Nothing special. The pizza is over priced and could be compared to Chucky cheeses pizza. Service is slow bit nice. For the price I would skip. They don't even have delievery drives and won't tell you that so they expect you to pick it up after your paid for the service.
Great place to have Sunday brunch with friends. Excellent staff - bloody’s & side car - Brunch menu - Cheeseburgers and more.
Found this place while trying to eat at another restaurant but it was closing already so the hostess recommended us this place. I wish I could thank them a thousand times over because this has become my partners and I new favorite late night bar/ restaurant!! The food and drinks are amazing and cheap! And service is always nice and fast! Definitely recommend!!
Food was good. The garlic parmesan fries were fantastic! The arcade is clean, on the smaller side. But there's bowling and pool as well. My kid won tons of tickets, so it was a hit for her.
This is a cool neighborhood bar with great family drink specials, pool table and trivia night! Weekend brunch is yummy and great value for the menu options! Please support your local neighborhood bars🙏
We ordered nachos since we were starving and I got the burger with the avocado on it, forgot the name but I’ll say that when you want medium rare, they deliver. Food is not the main reason to come here, it’s more of the atmosphere and getting some drinks with some friends. Overall, the staff and the atmosphere of the place was new for us but it was enjoyable and friendly! It was positive vibes!
I went there with my friends to celebrate his birthday and had a very good time. Food was great and drinks were amazing. I had the best Long Island I’ve ever tried and the bartender was charming and fun.
If you go there, ask for Alejandro, and the best Long Island in the city, he’ll make it good for you. Coming back soon!

We came here before the Blue Man Group nearby. Loved the show, will not go back to this hot dog joint.
First, the prices on their website are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than what they actually charge.
Drink selection is poor. The hot dogs were pretty basic and nothing special at all. I was hoping for a good Chicago Dog experience and this absolutely isn't it.
Cheese dog was a boiled hot dog with cheap nacho cheese all over it. Chili dog had some chili out of a can on a boiled dog. The polish sausage was a bit better but I've had as good/better at any street vendor or sporting event.
The place wasn't all that nice and wasn't really charming or any other word you would use to make a place worthy of going. Most disappointing meal we have had in Chicago by a long shot.

Hot dog was tasty and the service was good. It was late after a show so I’m happy they were open to feed us.
The donut things. Get the donut pockets that are filled with Nutella. Oh my heavens they are tasty.

This place is welcoming. The whole waitstaff is smiling and having fun. I definitely recommend the pizza. It’s got that perfect crispy crust. Will be back to try their banana old fashioned for dessert.
I found this place years ago when I lived in Park Ridge. I'd read about their all you can eat Moules and Frites. They did not disappoint! We went once a month. As all good things come to an end so did the all-you-could-eat!
BUT that opened us up to trying all their other delicious food.
I moved to Evanston eight years ago and I'm a 5 minute drive/10 minute bike ride to R Public House. Their outdoor seating is awesome. The bar inside is iconic.
Try all their food. Attend their events - I'm a fan of the cider fests they host.

There's not much to say. I haven't been here in a while. I went again today and got a burger, and it was good! The fries weren't that crispy they were just ok. The burger kinda reminds me of Culver's. I spent 26$, which is crazy and probably why I haven't been in while lol. I got the double cheeseburger and added bacon, fries, and a fountain drink. I think without the tip, it was like 23.10. It's like Small Cheval price range but not Small Cheval experience, but I know it's not going to give that. But I will say it's a pretty big burger (the photo doesn't do it justice). Definitely check it out there's a reason it's been here before I was even born 😄
Lunch didn’t seem like they were prepared to serve anyone. Everything seemed like there weren’t any cooks in the kitchen and someone was doing their best to help. Maybe try dinner and not lunch. Our server was also doing her very best. Don’t count them out just yet.
Went here with my mom and a friend last week and it was fantastic. The server was so helpful and the food was amazing and delicious. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty Polish meal!
Fun place to have a night out- lots of games, you can play pool, bowl, eat, drink, ping pong Lots of things to do as it’s a big space! 21+ after a certain time(can’t remember the exact time) - they have a full food menu and drinks! Staff was on top of it and never had to wait for a drink- we didn’t eat any food so can’t comment on that!
Just like the other reviewer before me, I was in the area and stopped by to try a Chicago dog. I was really surprised that I purchased a $ 7 Chicago dog with no poppy seeds and super cold veggies (tomato, onion, pickle and peppers) these toppings were like straight out of the freezer or something. To top it off....no
Celery salt! Staff very friendly but quality was bad.....

it's a great place to swing through for lunch or a quick bite, there fast at getting your food
MY GOD!! the CHICAGO BURGER is one of the best burgers I've ever had you won't regret that decision
MY GOD!! the CHICAGO BURGER is one of the best burgers I've ever had you won't regret that decision
All around excellent Polish food! We ordered the salmon with dill sauce, the soup "specials of the day" (vegetable, cauliflower, and chicken noodle), chicken liver ("wątróbka drobiowa"), and cheese blintzes for dessert. The salmon in particular was amazing (I'm still thinking about that rich & creamy dill sauce *drools*). Everything came out piping hot, beautifully arranged, and the service was amazing. There are tons of healthy options. They also had lovely Christmas decorations up and the restaurant feels homey and comfortable. We need more places like this in the area and in general: high-quality neighborhood spots that are unpretentious and reasonably priced. Honestly, our entire experience was so much better than at many "trendier" places. Orion is a great place to pop into to/from Midway Airport and they deliver on GrubHub. We can't wait to be back!
Burger of the day which was gargonzola and mushroom with bacon was amazing. The cheese curds were also quite good, buuttt my seasoned garlic parm fries were extremely bland....oh well. And guys....you gotta offer onion rings as a side not just specifically with 1 burger.
Found a long black hair in my breakfast burrito. 1/03/23 Staff is usually pretty on point here.
Have not been here in like 12 yrs. They still have the fun themed biker bar, however much tamer and even had Dolly Parton on music instead of all heavy metal. I remember tons of burger choices and great breakfast, however only a few choices this time and all 4 dishes where just ok, but presented well. Maybe just an off day or substitute cook. Still great little themed bar with huge drink selection, worth a try.
Me and my friend came around 8:30 to eat and catch up and were told we had 10 mins to leave at 8:45 , Google and door says closing is 10! Thirsty to close .
Clean, cute, and good service! Poutine and pizza had great flavor and were perfectly crispy, but almost unbearably salty. It did make me want another beer, which was probably the point - but I could feel my blood pressure rising lol
I was in the area so I decided to try them . I was greeted by a sign saying they rose their prices by 5%. So I paid 7+ for a hamburger. No fries ,no soda just burger . It was okay, hard to make a bad burger.
Remember when talians used to say forgedabuodit! Yeah. I stopped in for some grub and a glass of red. Carol King, Steely Dan in the background and they bring me this wild shroom pizza with sausage.
Slap all they Mama’s!
Their crust is on point, their cheese blend was top along with their red blend wine and yours truly had a serious food buzz going on!
I ended up chatting with the cooks and bartender cuz their pizza was outstanding!
I’d definitely come back, especially for a casual date cuz the atmosphere is cool laid back Chicago.
PS I took a picture of the pizza but my stupid phone can’t seem to attach it.

When I tell you, this place is off in the cut & it was so good! Jessica was amazing! The wings are so good & the French fries were off the chain! Dfntly goin back! Thank you Jessica
Let me start by saying my server was amazing Stella knows exactly how to prepare a drink. I’m often disappointed when I order a gimlet. She was on spot. I was impressed. She didn’t miss a beat when it came to taking our order as well. The service alone is enough for me to return. Great job.
I you looking for authentic POLISH cuisine🇵🇱, that’s the place to visit!
I can recommend many dish but for special attention deserved
Wednesday special BEEF TARTARE 🤌
And me second favorite ZAPIEKANKA
Thank you Kasia and ORION for delicious food and great service 🤩👏🙏

Had a nice time watching football at Theory. Lots and lots of TVs. Seemed clean other than the bathrooms.
NOT A PLACE TO WATCH A FIGHT.
I don’t know who’s in charge of audio but it was terrible. They audios would overlap each other from different sports. On top of that horrible music selection, no one is choosing to play Work it and Reverse it in 2023. Food and service was good. Horrible atmosphere to watch the fights

awesome bar / grill. our servers was really kind, attentive, and funny! they had my FAVORITE cider, the black widow cider, and the food was delicious. we had the fried cauliflower, the figgy burger, mac n cheese, and fries. it was ALL delicious.
there were bar games and tons of seating. perfectly sized and didn’t feel too crowded. my friend and i had a lovely time. i will definitely be coming back!!!!

Always love dining at this neighborhood gem. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is welcoming. The current fall sangria special is particularly tasty!
This was my first time in Chicago, and we found this place while looking around. The staff there, Danny and Justin, were so welcoming and encouraging. This place was a golfers paradise, and I can’t wait for more of these to be around!
I’m so happy that the Qdoba app gives out a birthday gift of free chips and queso. The order was ready so fast and the associate that handed me the order was kind.
In town for business for the week. After being turned away as a party of 1 from Mother Hubbards rude security, I came here and was very happy I did.
The security was polite, the service was great, I was able to get a table and order food for some Sunday football. The food was great!
All I can say is this place is ran right and it worth checking out for game day. It will also continue to benefit from the bar next door hiring rude security.

Jay and everyone at The Nest made my husbands 30th birthday a hit! From the start, Jay was very communicative and honest. He helped us secure the party room less than a month before our anticipated date, he offered suggestions on how to order the perfect amount of food, and he showed us how the room has been decorated in the past so we could get ideas for our event. As for food, the wings, pasta, and pizza were a hit! As for drinks, the prices are extremely reasonable, the drinks are tasty, and our bartenders were generous.
The private room is gorgeous with a private bar, a dance floor, plenty of seating, a designated place for food, and fun, colorful lighting. The staff handled everything so we could socialize and dance. At the end, once our decorations were packed up, The Nest handled the rest - all we had to do was go home and fall asleep! I plan on hosting future events here and I would recommend it to anyone!

Update: Recently dined indoors. Since we were disappointed with other food items in the past, we ordered burgers as a safe bet. Had to ask for condiments as they provided none for either burger plate. Hostess/server was unfriendly. Disappointed! Good burgers... but that's the only reliably good food. Service is spotty, depending on the waitstaff. Love the outside seating area.
Love Kubo, went last night with a theater date for across the street. The crab encrusted salmon was stellar, interesting take on the Caesar salad with a beautiful salad dressing, and the fried zucchini was a little thick on breading, but it worked great. Sam, as always is a good host with his partner, and I would go there more often if I was close. good wine selection as well. thank you guys!!!
This place rocks! Plenty of beers on tap with different happy hour deals each day. TVs covering every inch of the wall and they always have the game on. The food is great too especially the Kill Bill wings. Have had many great times with Sam and the rest of the staff. Best sports bar in the city
I loved the staff so much. Every one we talked to was friendly, hilarious and so welcoming. Such a fun concept for people who want to be out on a Saturday night for drinks and fun but a regular bar is too much. Also great for wallflowers and people watching. You can sit and relax with a drink without feeling pressured to mingle with strangers.
Really fun atmosphere
$40/hr for ping pong so if you have 4 friends playing it's only $10 per person so not bad. When we went they also had a free tournament going!

I ordered online today during lunch rush and was super impressed with how quickly it was done! When I walked in to pick up, there was a huge line in the store but my order was ready in 10 min
Went here first time with hubby. Sylvia took care of us. Unbelievable! She’s like the cook,chef and bottle washer. The food was great and made our dining experience great. Thanks Sylvia. We will be back😃
What a neighborhood gem! Lovely space with a nice covered side patio, impeccable service, and great Filipino fare! Order some lumpia to start and be sure to save room for the halo halo dessert.
Our first time there. They were intuitive enough to know what play options were best for us. I could sense they well know the game and their business. We started with bullseye, then driving range (with more diagnostics than I would know what to do with) and ended on a course in Colorado. They were very attentive and made sure we had all we needed. We had a great time and are already looking forward to our next visit.
My daughter and I decided to stop in and have a small meal before going to an event across the street from this restaurant. The decor was nice and inviting. We decided to sit on the patio area which was a nice setting that had a TV, candles lite and a good atmosphere. The service was prompt and friendly. The drink that I had was a pear margarita and it was tasty. We decided to split a meal of the fried chicken sandwich with fries as a side. The food was yummy and we had no complaints. The bathrooms were clean. Overall, we would recommend this place for a it's drinks, food and atmosphere.
Great fun and price point is very affordable. Don’t remember the gentleman’s name that helped us, but he was very helpful. Will definitely return for another round!
Super fun place to kick it with friends or to go for a date night. The drinks were good (and strong), and the service was ultra friendly!
Very cool spot at the corner of Ogden & Grand. If you like motorcycles & liquor…this place is for you! I enjoyed this place 20 years ago, and it’s still as cool as ever. The food was beyond my expectations l- super delicious. The waitress was so sweet telling us about the gumbo, which we will definitely try next time! I also see a Bloody Mary in the review photos that I absolutely need to try!! I am looking forward to coming back soon!
Had a party here for my uncles 50th and it was amazing. Great atmosphere and the owner is truly a diamond in the rough. Such a nice environment to host a party in their party room. I would definitely host another and most parties here.
I was invited to attend for drinks and ping pong for a friend and my birthday. Atmosphere was fun, and food was good. Drinks were very inconsistent in flavor. How do we order multiple of the same drink and they all taste drastically different?? Also, there was booking issues… which caused sone drama at the beginning of our evening. That being said I feel the customer service is so-so.
That being said I would still suggest checking them out since it was a fun time. Follow me on IG @ j.o.realness to check out other restaurants through our beautiful city of Chicago!

Kubo was fire! Our server guided us through the menu with expertise and provided us with clarity and comfortability! I’m no expert on Filipino cuisine, but the food was outstanding.
I heard about Theory from a friend. He frequently visits for F1 watch parties. The owner, Joel and his crew, made us feel welcome at every "turn!" Maria was super attentive and Joel made an effort to meet the patrons coming for the race. The Brunch menu offered something for everyone without overwhelming customers. The coffee was ON POINT. Joel serves Hexe Coffee, which is a local roaster. Not many restaurants/bars give much thought to their coffee... clearly not the case with Theory. Nice crowd and great vibe for the race on a Sunday AM! Worth the trip from the burbs.
I loved the Beyond(R) Chicken & Waffles! The taste combination is outstanding, and the chicken tenders in it really were like eating real chicken meat. Yum. I was especially glad to see Seven vegetarian entrees on the brunch menu! We sat outside on the patio on a lovely afternoon and watched the carnival event beside us. There’s usually a family-friendly event happening on the weekend. Chad was our waiter today and he is always so attentive. Much thanks to him and the R Public House establishment. The Shrimp and grits is a favorite brunch meal of my husband. Their Bloody Mary is my favorite in the city! We will definitely return.
The food is so good especially the Kansi. Being an Ilongo I could it’s perfect. Everything we ordered is so delicious. Highly recommended! The owner Christine is very accomodating that’s a big plus.
Really wasn't expecting such good food. Think it was because it seemed super fresh and well prepared. Both our meals were excellent.
Quick, tasty, custom made Mexican fast food. We ordered burritos, quesidilla, loaded chips and drinks - quickly made to order, all very tasty and a good price. Serving team were great too - recommend as one of the few evening fast food places open in the area.
We had a private party for my daughter’s graduation/birthday and it was fabulous. The food was on point and Kasha was very friendly and took care of everyone’s drinks. You have the option to cater their food (which was easier and convenient for me) however you can bring your own. The room is spacious and does not need a lot of decor because of the rustic look the ambiance is a perfect setting for any event. You can plug in a phone/iPad and play your own music. A lot of guest were inquiring about the private room because they loved it so much. I will definitely use this location again and I highly recommend it to anyone.
Great spot to have a relaxed session; my first time ever at this spot and the location requires you to commute (downtown Chicago NOT much parking space) but once there you're greeted immediately. For new comers it seems like a maze but once you're there it's a warm and peaceful environment. Definitely pricey but worth the expense.
I have been a member here for about 6 months and usually visit before work in the morning a couple times a week. I feel like I've definitely gotten a lot of bang for my buck and that it helped me stay sharp during the off season. The morning manager Josh is incredibly helpful and the facilities are top notch. Highly recommend for golf addicts living in the city.
This place is a good vibe. Came here on a whim to watch the NBA playoffs.. Definitely glad we came. Was greeted the right way as though they were very grateful for our service.. Dannie was a great server and drinks were good... Walking distance from hotel was good too as we stayed on Wacker... Definitely a sports bar worthy of checking out.
Bottomless mimosas for $15 was my favorite of course, but the food was great too! I got the chicken and waffles & will definitely go back for them again soon. The dish has fried chicken thigh in between huge pieces of cheddar bacon waffles, all covered in sausage gravy. So good! Definitely recommend going for brunch, awesome atmosphere as well.
Awesome ping pong bar with a really fantastic Art Battle experience! The drinks were great at the bar and we really enjoyed the Art Battle that the venue hosted. So many people showed up to support the artists and buy their artwork after the show. I would absolutely attend another one of these events at the same location!
Lucky Strike is the perfect place to spend an evening with friends or family! We arrived early at 5 pm and were pleasantly surprised to find no wait time. The place was clean and well-maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere. The server was attentive and friendly, making sure that we had everything we needed.
We bowled for an hour which was $17/person including shoes. They have other games including darts, pool tables, and ping pong. A full drink and food menu available are available but we had dinner plans so skipped that.
We played darts, which was $20 per hour and pro-rated so that we only paid for the time we used.
Overall, Lucky Strike was a fantastic place to hang out and have some competitive fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great night out!

Overall, Lucky Strike was a fantastic place to hang out and have some competitive fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great night out!
Great food! I ordered a house salad with chicken and it was delicious. The burgers and fries are great too. Bowling, arcade, darts, pool, table tennis, etc…come in early for bowling as it books up quick. The arcade was fun but a lot of the games were out of service.
Cannot believe this place isn’t absolutely packed. Great service. The food here is phenomenal. The definition of an unassuming hidden gem. Authentic, perfectly seasoned Filipino food. We tried the pork adobo ribs which fell off the bone into a sweet and savory sauce and then we tried the pancit with longganisa. The pancit was great for a snowy night but the longganisa really stood out.
EXCELLENT! How I have not been here previously makes me upset. Everything we had was fantastic! We ordered the Pork Ribs Adobo, Lechon Sisig and a side of green beans (with shrimp paste). Flavors are well balanced, ribs were perfectly cooked. I also highly recommend the Turon a la mode for desert. Already planning our next visit!
Great service and atmosphere. I highly recommend the crab cake bites with garlic aioli sauce so delicious I didn't get to take picture before they were all gone lol.
Food was amazing and the service was excellent! We were in town visiting friends and wanted to do a special feast, so we did the Kamayan "Boodle Dining" for 4. It was amazing! A variety of seafood and meats, rice, veggies and fruit. I would highly recommend. The staff were warm and friendly, which made the experience even more delightful.
Wow - my first time at 'Theory' in River North, and I'm very pleased. That was just about the best tomato soup and grilled cheese that I've had. Three types of cheese, tomato and onion, thick, fresh bread... yum! My wife had the Southwest salad and she loved it. The pineapple cider to drink was delicious too! The Cookie Skillet for dessert was enough for four to share - a hot cookie and cold ice cream make for a pretty amazing combination! My wife and I had the kids with us for dinner, and the music was a touch on the loud side but it is a bar, after all. Prices are reasonable, but a touch on the high side for some items. Wonderful service - we all loved our server, and hope to see her again the next time we're in River North!
We loved it, and had a lot of fun on a Friday night. We participated in the ping pong tournaments, got free shots, got to see and meet Eric Owens, the staff were friendly, and the place has really cool vibes. The drinks were not bad either. Definitely going back.
**Update** Still an awesome place to have a great time with great drinks and great food. Friendly staff, great atmosphere! Wings were really good!
Our wait staff was awesome! The door was amazing! And the atmosphere was so cool. Our family had a great time! I can imagine this place will be great for a bachelorette party or bachelorette party or some sort of small gathering.
This location is ran very well. Super clean, quick, and the food is always fresh. They are just as good, if not better than Chipotle (cooked steak and queso cheese).
This place is AWESOME! It has everything that you need from golf, to lessons, food and a full bar. Please come check it out. Lauren Niemiera the main golf pro was AMAZING. She assisted our kids and provided some lessons. The kids LOVED it. I can't say enough great things about Lauren and this place. The food and staff were also great.
Wow! What an amazing experience at Five Iron Golf! The staff made the experience the best for all ages (4-48).
Destiny, Sasha, Geo, Lauren- thank you so very much for your assistance and patience as you navigated the crew we brought in! I would highly recommend coming in for a drink, food, and a little golf practice. =]
Hey, Five Iron Golf… come to Minnesota =]

Great concept for a restaurant, food was good, slow service to start but it got better. Everyone had a good time playing ping pong and visiting with each other. The management was very sensitive to our needs and went above and beyond to help me get into the venue due to my disabilities. If it hadn't been for them, I would not have gotten to attend my granddaughter's pre-wedding party. I want to send my heartfelt thanks to Heather, Jake and the staff at Spin for all they did for me. I will never forget it.
I came to Five Iron after receiving a gift card to be fitted for a new driver. I worked with Kevin in the Fitting Lab and he was outstanding. He was able to answer all of my questions and was patient while analyzing my swing to find the best head and shaft combination for my new club. I immediately noticed an improvement to my drive. If you're in the market for a new club I highly suggest doing the fitting to invest in a club thats exactly perfect for you. My wife came along and was able to hang out and enjoy drinks and appetizers, it made for a fun afternoon. Great vibe, relaxed atmosphere, super friendly staff and improved my golf game - can't beat it.
Super nice place! Wonderful staff! Really nice place if you’re looking for relaxed adult fun…a little nostalgic for me. They have ping pong tables, giant jenga & connect four. Just a great time. The atmosphere is arty, double plus for me. I love it. Even the restroom stalls have art work. I recommend this place to unwind and have a good drink.
The quality of food is excellent! If you want an experience better than Chipotle, you should come here!
Theory was great! Let's start with dessert since it's on my tongue still...the cookie skillet with iced cream!!!!! It's fresh baked in a skillet and served warm. WOW. Save room and an absolute steal at $9 enough to feed definitely two people three as well. The turkey wrap and fries was on point. Delicious and fresh ingredients. Fries were crisp and tasty. Hummus had a unique taste to it that I couldn't quite figure out but I really liked it. The pita was warm and fresh and they brought us several more pieces upon request. Bathrooms clean. The absolute best part was the availability of NFL games both inside and out. The curbside seating was perfect on a gorgeous day with 3 HDTVs and 3 different games on as well as every other game on the NFL ticket on inside. Food was more than reasonably priced as well. Service was impeccable and the managers were very nice greeting and asking how our experience was at Theory.
Great tasting Polish food, nice bar with Zywiec beer which they serve with raspberry juice - so delish!!! Amazing service and very nice interior design. Highly recommended! 😋
So good! Served up food for 5 people to go in about 20 minutes and every person was super happy with their food! Our favorite place in the neighborhood. Update: still the best place in the neighborhood. Update 2: still our fave, Burger of the week this week (2/8/24) was SO GOOD!
Recently had my husbands 50th birthday party in their private party room. Staff was great, Izabella was our bartender and was amazing! Jay the owner is a delight to work with. Food is delicious and drinks on point. I would definitely host other parties here. Thank you for making my husbands birthday the best!
Flew into town and wanted some Polish food and was not disappointed. The three things we tried were outstanding and Angelika was top-notch behind the bar.
I would definitely recommend this neighborhood bar for a quick tasting meal of authentic polish foods.
