Atmosphere: -1 star for nothing special. It was great.
Service: -1 star. Understaffed. Food was slow. We had a couple of orders wrong but she made up for it. She really tried her best with how understaffed it was.
Now the food:
-1 star for too salty wings. (I mean really salty and I like salt. But that meant no one else would eat them, so maybe a half star there).
-1 star for ‘brisket’ sliders that looked like (without hyperbole) a McDonalds cheeseburger, quartered, but you only get 3. The patty being a dog treat soaked in water as the ‘brisket’, ooo and a pickle, no cheese but the bun was soaked in something! It was 2”x2”x1” (yeah I measure it) and it was essentially moist jerky.
-1 star for them charging $10 for that. They forgot the sweet potato fries and didn’t comp. I asked for a bottle of hot sauce. They gave me a small dish with a tablespoon of it and charged me $2.50. The Nachos were not layered (but who does that except the best). The sweet potato tacos were ok but the potatoes were burnt more than they should be.
2 stars total for edible. If the scale went to zero, it would be 1 star from me for the food here.
I want to add, everyone was ordering deep dish pizza around us. It looked amazing, but then tell us that AND take that other garbage off the menu!

about the experience at The standard last night.
Visited there with my friend and ordered 2 IPA and artichoke.
Waitress served us drink with no coaster and hair in the drink
We informed the server and her answer was oh its outside. She didn't even thought what she's saying for a sec. No apologies, No concern.
She came back with an over filled glass of replaced beer which was dripping out, again with no coaster & No apologies and said I got you a new drink( as if it was a favour)
I'm fail to understand how can someone hire a server who doesn't even know the basic sense of hospitality.
We wanted to spend more time and wanted to eat more food but, Our evening was ruined by your staff.
Before posting here I sent them an email about the incident. But seems they’re ignorant like other staff.
No coming again for sure

Grabbed dinner during happy hour and got their discount beef brisket sliders and Tuesday special karaage chicken strips and fries. The sliders were nice, sort of like little grilled cheeses with a bit of nice beef and pickle. The fries were great, good texture and salt level. I can only say that if you want karaage go to a Japanese restaurant instead. I'd visit again for burgers!
Fun little club! If it had an actual dance floor we would definitely go back. It was a little tricky to dance between all the tables but the DJ that was playing on Saturday night was great! We would have stayed longer but it got way too crowded to be able to dance.
It's a wonderful place, food was delicious,the spicy mango margarita was an amazing. Our server was incredible, so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend going here.
This place is a hidden gem! They have a crazy amazing happy hour. Right on elgin with a good size patio. Thursday tacos are ridiculously delicious and cheap! $4/taco?! Definitely our go to!
My boyfriend and I had so much fun here last night. Our waitress was great, friendly and fast. We had pizza, with pickles on it and I guess it was deep dish or something but oh my was it ever good. Something about that crust! Overall atmosphere was a hit, the DJ had awesome music which really made it that much better. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, it was very lively. Definitely my cup of tea!
