My father took me to this place when I was a child (It had another name then) and I wanted to share it with my neice when we visited Chicago. It is just a short walk from the Chicago Hilton where we stayed so we walked. The atmosphere is old style Chicago Steak House, the bar is fullly. Nothing trendy... More

My husband and I recently visited Chicago on a business trip for him. We've been there a few times, but this time we stayed in the South Loop side. I didn't research restaurants until we got there and could find out what would be within walking distance to the Chicago Hilton. I came across the Exchequer Pub. I am so... More

Good range of food and drinks. My husband had the turf and turf and was very pleased. I felt the service was a little average and in comparison to other restaurants we have visited, lacked the service with a smile. But we would return for the food and hopefully a happier server next time. More

Really enjoyed having lunch at this fine establishment. It is much larger than it appears when you first walk in on the bar side. The server was friendly and got our orders put in and brought out quickly, even though we went during a pretty busy time of day. I selected the Monster Burger from the menu and it was... More

I go here once everytime I'm in Chicago. Good service, cold beer on tap. Large menu; I've tried many of the items. Ribs are good; not Memphis insanely good, but good. Ask for extra rib sauce. Deep dish pizza is okay; I know this is sacrilege, but it has too much cheese! I know many rave about the amount of... More

We found this place several years ago through a friend and has now become one of our favorite "go to" places in the loop. Located on Wabash just south of Miller's Pub it is not much to look at from the outside, but don't be fooled. There are 3 rooms and it is very large. The food is excellent and... More

We had been here ten years ago and decided we had to stop in on our recent trip to Chicago. The pizza was exactly how we remembered it. It was delicious! The restaurant is older, but that just adds to the experience. Our waiter was good. It was $15 for a small deep dish with two toppings. There were six... More

The first caveat: I was a solo diner. Usually I'll order to go or sit at a bar, because I hate to take up a table where staff could be making bigger tips. So, it was a longer wait than usual. If the food had been my vision of outstanding, I would not have cared how long I waited. I... More
