10. O'Sullivan's Public House
Reviewed By Bill D
O'Sullivans is a great sports bar in a village full of sports bars. Classic century-plus old building with corner turrent entrance. Atmosphere and TVs to viewer ratio good. Lots of locals and folks from neighboring towns. Good beer selection. The wine pour is a bit stingy. The food ranged from average to very good, the burgers being the best. The Ceasar salad was so-so. Our waitress was polite and attentive, but she got the bill wrong three times, and two of four orders took a good while to arrive.

Healy's Westside is fantastic if you want a fun, casual atmosphere, lots of space, and good value for your money. They do great drink specials, including $1.75 domestic taps on Tuesdays! On Mondays kids eat free with a paying adult. Healy's is BIG, and great for large groups. The big front windows open, which is perfect and gives the bar a patio-feel on nice days. Try the fried cheese curds! You won't be disappointed!

Specialty Smokehouse, Gastropub. The Wild Onion Brewery's second restaurant location. Located directly across from Harlem/Lake Green Line CTA station.
Reviewed By Bruce M
We had Chris as a server and he was pretty darn good. He offered choices and explained the many craft tap beers they offered. He explained they were not made there but at a sister craft house, thus the name Tied House. We had the Tied House Burger which was great. They were busy but we did not feel rushed. They had a large group next to us that was having a lot of fun but certainly were not rowdy. Young and old frequent this establishment, grandparents and grandchildren are made comfortable. There was supposed to be live music but the person had not arrived by the time we had finished. I could go back to this place and that means it has my recommendation.

Okay, so parents each had an adult beverage, $6 each for a bottled alcoholic cider and a vodka Tom Collins (not call, but got Smirnoff or some name vodka according to the bill); a bit steep for a beer joint. We ordered a kid's grilled cheese, a burger, and a Portobello sandwich, all came with French fries. That's all. Fries are especially good, everything else, just okay. The waitress was also the bartender and busboy. I really wanted to like this place after reading some positive reviews. It's in the neighborhood and probably owner operated, so we wanted to support it. But after spending fifty bucks and feeing ripped off, we won't go back again. Buona Beef and Russels Barbeque offer similar items, but tastier, at lower price point. Old School Tavern, you are not a shiny new sports bar or brew pub which are springing up all over, so adjust your prices if you want to develop steady clientele to keep you in business in this competitive neighborhood.

The ethnic Irish chef de cuisine of Shanahan's attended culinary school in New Orleans and it shows. This fine Sunday they were featuring various crawfish specials. I had the crawfish fettucine Alfredo, which was a mildly spicy take on the Roman classic. My wife had the crawfish and andouille etouffe, which was outstanding. Service was friendly and quick.

After four years of planning and construction, Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant opened in 2005 in Orland Park, a south suburb of Chicago. The concept was unique. We would create a signature menu with a selection of dishes designed to pair perfectly with

We went with another couple and did wine tasting first. The gentleman doing the tasting was so friendly and nice. Our dinner was excellent. Three of us had Chicken Madeira. It was wonderful! My husband had a vegetarian dish, he enjoyed very much. The pretzel breadand our appetizer -egg and avocado on toast points were wonderful.

We have been here several times this past year. The beer is always fresh and we love the small batches and rotating selection. For a brew pub, they serve excellent food. You cannot go wrong with any of their flatbreads or salads. Their pimento cheese and hummus appetizer is fantastic! Service is friendly and the place has an upbeat vibe. We will definitely miss Exit Strategy when we leave Chicago this Spring!

Going towards what we thought was "Checkers", we ended up in this place called Cheddar's. The theme of this place is warm, sociable bar with comfort food. The menu has lots of fried chicken, fried and grilled steaks and combos that include meat, chicken or shrimp.The pricing seems good for the volume you get, however my Philly cheese steak was just "ok". The problem was a very soft bun, wet with some gravy and cold melted cheese on top, that made it difficult to eat by hand. Once you start cutting past the cheese to eat the steak, it was obvious that there just wasn't that much steak in there.My guest had a steak and fried chicken combo with some sides, that seemed ok. The fried chicken is apparently the dish to have. In fairness, we arrived close to closing time and the staff seemed to be entrenched in clean-up and end of day rituals. The place is clean and friendly and given another opportunity, I would go for some of the combos, and not be in a hurry.

Our son goes here all the time to watch football games, so when we were in the area, this was suggested for a late lunch. We were greeted and seated immediately upon our arrival. The server was very attentive during our entire visit. The main bar area definitely has ALOT of tv's, so I imagine it's very crowded whenever various games are on. We were seated in the back dining area, where it was definitely much quieter. There were 5 in our group, and we all had a different menu item. Everything was good. All the men were part of the clean plate club - the women took some of ours home, as we couldn't finish it all.

We sat outskirts de because the weather was perfect. Our waiter came over right away with water and introduced himself. The atmosphere is very casual and the sidewalk area was very clean. We ordered quesadillas and a burger. Both were very good. I definitely would go here again
