What a wonderful surprise!!! We were late to make our Easter brunch plans and gambled on Bub City cuz a great in between for family in city and burbs. It was amazing! Food and bourbon was awesome, service perfect, and great live music. We'll definitely be back next year!!!! read more

Good food and great atmosphere. There was a band playing on Sunday afternoon. I got the pulled pork with fries and a side of mac and cheese which was delicious. My daughter got wings and fries and she said her food was really good too. The waiter was really nice and attentive but not over bearing. If your in the area, check this place out! read more

I've been to Bub in the city and always enjoyed myself but this time I went we made a reservation the day before for 14 people at Rosemont after Disney on Ice. We were able to pick from a family style menu prior to our reservation. They had our table ready and a printed menu waiting for us at our table when we arrived. The servers were so ridiculously nice and the food was incredible! We started with the chopped salad and fried pickles which our picky kids gobbled up! Then enjoyed ribs, fried chicken and brisket which was SO good!!! And we finished with homemade chocolate chip cookies that left us so satisfied. Clay the manager set the whole thing up for us and provided top notch service! I would go back for brunch, lunch, dinner and I would have a large party there! read more

I will start by saying I wish I had read the reviews before we went but since it is a lettuce entertain you I did not feel that I had to.. WRONG! Started with the brisket nachos, asked the server if the cheese was spicy as it was called atomic and she said no, we just call it that.. WRONG! Burgers were nothing special, burnt tips were very sweet and hard to eat more than a few bites, fried chicken was served raw, luckily I am cautious about this because there is no doubt I would have been sick, Mac and cheese was a rip off at $8.00 and the slaw was just plain bad! Very limited drink menu if you do not drink beer or whiskey. I do not recommend and we will not return.. read more

This place is overrated and expensive. Me and my family went there yesterday evening after attending an event next door and all of our plates came with stale french fries or waffle fries. What was supposed to be a nice portion of Nashville tenders with no side was actually three pieces of dry chicken. The only good thing about this place with the service. read more

Came by after a convention in town. Mediocre food based on all opinions at the table. Impersonal service, and a feeding trough kind of feel. My mac and cheese was so salty ( and I love salt) I couldn't finish it. Parking is a headache like everywhere in poorly-designed Rosemont but they were nice enough to validate! read more

Owner said he would like to reach out to me for the bad service. Gave him cell phone number. Two months later I still have yet to hear from someone. Needless to say I see why the service was so horrible. Management isn't much better . read more

Just like every LEYE Restaurant the food is just amazing. They just opened...so ignore all the bad reviews. I've been going to the one downtown for years. read more

I came here on a Saturday morning for Brunch. The food was amazing. It was not very crowded and the staff was very friendly. I just wish the Saturday Brunch menu had a bit more of an options but definitely planning on trying their Sunday brunch. read more

Bub City in Rosemont is a good place to eat and grab drinks before a concert at Joe's. I've been here 3-4 times before a concert and the food has been great! We've tried a few different apps, the mac and cheese, chicken, brisket, and ribs. We've always come on a Friday or Saturday night around 5:30-6:00 and we're seated right away without reservations. The one thing I have to complain about is the service. I understand they have a dinner rush, especially before a concert. However, I find it completely rude to be rushed out the second I'm done eating. I still had nearly a full beer and was planning on having another drink before heading over to Joe's, and the MANAGER was doing everything he could to get us out. He wasn't even our waiter, yet he took our bill and proceeded to rush us out the door. When we said we wanted another beer he went and got to-go cups and more or less forced us to take them and go next door. I'm sorry, but as a paying customer who is still ordering more food/drinks/etc, do NOT rush me out the door. The only reason I will come back is because it's conveniently located next to Joe's and the food is good. read more

Love this place ! We've visited a few times during the summer. They have great seating outside. I love that they have country music ALWAYS!! We also went on a Saturday night. I was a little confused that they charge $5 cover fee. We later figured out they have live country music , so I guess it made sense. Their food is delicious. I love their variety of drinks they have available. The ambiance and decor is great. Staff is very friendly. We will be back! read more

Mediocre BBQ, from a gal from the Midwest. Service was poor, but they have a great bar and fun evening events. I'll give em another shot, but so far npt impressed. Sad excuse for burnt ends, and don't order the coleslaw - worst i've ever had. read more

Went here and didn't realize it was a lettuce restaurant. Food was excellent. Out server Nicole was the best! I went with the Nashville hot chicken tenders. They were terrific. Sides were brussel sprouts and spoon bread. Both were amazing. This is a great place and family friendly. Ask for Nicole when you go, she explained the menu and was very attentive. read more

Loved that they had live music and a bags game in front of the stage! I've been to the one downtown before, and took my Mom here since she was craving BBQ. Service was great, just took a little bit of time before the server came over. The ribs I ordered were a little on the dry side, but it was still very good. My Mom ordered the brisket, which is my favorite, and what surprised me the most were the cookies! They were soft, chewy, and freshly baked. Definitely come here for the music and drinks, though. They have a great whiskey list, and they have brunch too (which I need to come back for). My Mom loved it, so that's definitely a big plus. If my Mom loves it, it's good enough for me. read more

Don't get the food. Two of us had chicken, eh. One had St Louis style ribs, bad. Atmosphere was good. Looks like a place for drinks & entertainment. Prices for sides were high and the food wasn't hot when we were served. read more

Great venu!! If you haven't been to the MB Financial Park at Rosemont you need to check it out. This is a one stop destination for dining, entertainment, nightlife, and family fun. The park has a beautiful artificial grass area in the summer and then a NHL sized ice rink that is erected in the winter months. Bub City is located right by the center court area. They have a beautiful outside patio/dining area and the traditional country western pub area inside. Good selection of bourbons and whiskey as well as a good lineup of beers. The food is your BBQ pub food variety. The BBQ nachos are great and come in a very good portion size. The chicken wings and sandwiches are good as well. Our waitress was very sweet and checked on us often. Overall recommend this experience. read more

good music, pricey drinks and food but atmosphere is fun. good starter joint especially if you are going to roam in Rosemont.

Go see Mioara at the bar! She made our experience today such an awesome one. She guided us through the Bloody Mary bar experience, recommended awesome food, and made us fantastic drinks. We have been here before, but didn't think much of the place; however, we will absolutely be back to have another good time with Mioara! read more

Just dropped in for a quick lunch. Nice atmosphere and good service but the double cheeseburger and fries looked and tasted like something more from McDonalds. Fries were cold and had to send back for some fresh ones. Definitely not worth the price. read more

Great food and excellent service. Hickory smoked wings are out of this world. If you're in the Chicagoland area or just laying over from O'Hare, look not further for this is the place for good BBQ and Whiskey. Live music most nights and good fun. read more

I'm from out of town and stopped in with other visiting family. Though fairly loud, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The baby back mac n cheese and pulled carolina pork were amazing. Not to mention the memorable fries with barbecue seasoning. It was a great experience and certainly would come again. read more

Just had dinner, it was great! We had the giddy up fries, which were too spicy for my taste, but good. We also ordered the 2 meat sampler. I had Chicago style ribs, and crispy BBQ chicken = amazing! Hubby ordered brisket and burnt ends. Brisket was great, burnt ends were too smoky. Sweet potatoes were amazing! As was phoebe's mac and cheese. Overall a great date night. read more

See all

Love love the food not sure about the margarita you cant taste the tequila at all but the blody mary is good $11 for a tiny glass isnt worth it but the bbq nacho mac and cheese is great although we could use a friendly server but other than that food is geat read more

i took my brother here for his birthday and i loved the environment. they had live music playing and we had a great waitress! they had a huge bar and were pretty busy but we had a reservation so that helped, but it was also a weekend evening. would totally recommend if you're looking for a place to have fun! on the other hand... i had a grilled cheese and ordered it with CHEDDAR cheese and it came out with american. didn't appreciate that. my grandfather, who is gluten free asked for a GF bun and didn't get that, was pretty concerning. i would recommend going just be sure to clarify when ordering and when they are giving you your food. read more

Mioara is the best, makes the whole night more fun, very attentive too. Great good and service! Yummy tater tots too and beer!

My friend and I went there we had a great time. It was our first time their and Sam, our server made great recommendations and took the time to go through the menu and told us his opinion on everything. Wonderful Service, and the food was great too! Sam recommended the cinnamon whiskey that is made by Bub City and it was way better than I would have ever expected. This place I kept clean at all times, I witnessed tables being cleaned and messes being cleaned as food as they were dirty. I will be coming back soon. read more

Mioara is the best server! Great personality and attitude! After the long wait it was great to be greeted by someone so friendly! Coming back for the great food and service! read more

Always love our time at Bub city. Jason was a delight tonight! The shrimp special is delicious. Need to bring back the Apple or blueberry pies. Always 5 star service!!!! We come a couple times a month read more

Mioara was a fantastic bar tender!!! Great experience, knowledgeable staff and good food. Will be back.

By far, my favorite bar! The food is delicious, the staff is attentive and the place is always a good time. Tuesday karaoke nights have become a MUST with my coworkers and I! I loveee this place!!! read more

Unfortunately our server was great but our food on the other hand was not! I work in the restaurant industry so I try not to be to critical on things. With that being said I think our meal could have been 10x better if it was hot! Most people don't mind their meal coming quick as a server I'm happy when that happens! But as a guest I like a quality meal that's hot and enjoyable, not warm. Being that someone was treating tonight I didn't want to be the one to be sending meals back and things of that nature. Not to sure if I'll go back and if so will definitely try something different. I had the 3meats with two sides, the chicken breast wasn't bad at all but the ribs and wings didn't meet the criteria. Again I hate giving reviews but with it being my first time I guess I had higher expectations! Nice atmosphere look like a fun place to be! read more

Was dying to try this place after I heard great things about the Chicago location. It was pretty cool ambience -- I'm not a huge fan of country music, but it wasnt overly "country". I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich... it was pretty good. Nothing to rave about, but given the cool atmosphere, I will come back. read more

Food was good and service was exceptional. Natalia was our server and she was on point. Great attitude, got all four of our orders correct and was present when needed. I had the smoked turkey breast and for sides the cumber and tomato salad (really good, had a peppery taste to it) as well as green bean salad. I'm trying to eat healthy after the holiday overdose of food and sweets. Mission accomplished. It was hard to not indulge in some of the other things on the menu but I was very happy with my order. read more

My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary tonight at Bub City in Rosemont. The food and service were excellent. Special shout out to our great waitress Jessica who took care of us and made our night even more special with complimentary desserts and tickets to Joe's Live next store. read more

MUCH improved over Toby Keith's. For one thing, this place is no longer a giant warehouse; it is now smaller and more intimate. Great place for groups. Lots of energy and loved the live music on Saturday night at Bub City (not Joe's). Great drinks at a reasonable price. Would definitely go back, but not for date night where I want a more intimate setting. This is definitely a more rowdy/party place. read more

I was very disappointed in the service and the professionalism of this place. I had set up a reservation 1 week prior for a bigger group of over 10 people. I had asked for a table that would not be moved since there was going to be a band that was playing later that night anyways. Everything was set up so I thought. As soon as I get there, my tables were not set up and were no where near being available for the time that I had put them on reserve for. They said it would be another 20 min. before my tables were ready. Then, after waiting for about 10-15 min, that's when they tell me that I would have to wait until my whole party was available in order to seat us or we would loose our tables. So in addition to them not having my tables set up or ready, they failed to tell me that I would have to have my whole party there in order for us to be seated and potentially loose my table that I had reserved. So I ended up wasting my time and leaving because of their failure to be prepared for a reservation that I had already set up and didn't prepare me to have my full party at the restaurant. I was so disappointing, so good luck trying to get in even with a reservation, they most likely won't keep it or have it ready for you. read more

Saturday funday at the bar today! Bar tenders Mio and Agnes mixing some tasty drinks and keeping it fun!. #BubsFun

I have been to this place in the loop a few times and the food is killer and great atmosphere. Although this is the same place with the same great things the service was terrible here. Our waitress was so bad. I really tried to not get irritated but after waiting forever and ever for our order to be taken and our food to come... It was wrong. Super annoying read more

Moved to Chicago 3 months ago and have had the opportunity already to visit Bub City downtown but this was my first visit to Rosemont. I loved it. Food came out in like 30 seconds and the bartender, Stephanie L, was super friendly. In fact, she is one of the friendliest bartenders I've encountered in Chicago. I'm a fan of this place and would definitely return when back in Rosemont. Thanks Stephanie! read more

We went for Sunday brunch. It was amazing!! The BBQ was smoked for 18 hours it was amazing. I'm from Tennessee and it's hard to find good BBQ in Chicago. You must go here they have live music all the time. read more
