I'm always searching for the perfect spot to host my birthday dinner because my friends and family have such a wide variety of tastes. This restaurant was the perfect choice! They accommodated my large party and were incredibly patient throughout all of our planning and discussions. I'm truly grateful for how well they took care of us. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the customer service went above and beyond our expectations. As an added bonus, you can validate your parking at the lot across the street, and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this place for special occasions, large groups, or anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. read more

Popped in here for lunch once we arrived in town. I've never tried any Doc B's so was excited to try it. The staff was friendly, the server did a good job of managing the bar and the tables surrounding the bar. They were busy. The food was good. They make their own dressings but they don't make ranch. I had a salad and it was pretty good. read more

My husband and I were staying at the Courtyard Marriott Magnificent Mile and we walked over one night. I was so excited to try their turkey burger and hand cut sweet potato fries, and they did NOT disappoint. My husband and I wanted to split the Brussels sprout salad, and the team split it for us! It was such a courteous and thoughtful touch; and it was absolutely phenomenal!!! So flavorful and filling... I barely got my turkey burger down. :) I never nabbed a photo of the turkey burger because I ATE IT! I got it on a gluten free bun (GF foodie here) and it was still great. The fries warmed me from the inside out: imperfectly cut, delicious, and quickly became my new comfort or food. The staff was absolutely out of sight; kind, attentive and took care of very detail. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of the bar opening to the street on the perfect night was the perfect touch; family-friendly but still open enough for everyone to enjoy their meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd definitely go back. read more

I came here with husband for dinner and a great time! Alayna was our server and gave awesome suggestions. I had the chimichurri steak and my husband had the filet mignon. We finished it off with a slice of key lime pie and chocolate cake. For my first time in Chicago this was a great meal to start with. Thanks Alayna! read more

Doc B's Restaurant + Bar - 10 oz Chimichurri Steak with truffle fries and garlic aoli - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered three dishes for three adults, simply grilled salmon $33, West Coast steak sandwich $30, Chinese chicken salad $20. Grilled salmon was quite impressive, very delicious. Steak sandwich was good too. The Chinese chicken salad came with sliced chicken cutlet, I was surprised that chicken cutlet was at room temperature instead of temperature hot. It was crowded, we waited about 15 minutes to be seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And it was noisy, needed to raise voices for conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I wasn't very impressed with Doc B's. We came in for a group outing, and for the price point I expected both faster service and better execution. The food took a while to come out, and when it arrived it just did not have the flavor or energy I was hoping for. We did try the candied bacon, and while it was an interesting take, it ended up being pretty forgettable compared to similar versions at other restaurants. It felt like it needed a stronger glaze or a better balance of sweet and savory to really stand out. I ordered the Dragon Burger, which sounded great on the menu, but it was underwhelming. The seasoning was mild, the heat was almost nonexistent, and the toppings never really came together. It felt like a dish that could be spiced up and pushed a lot further, especially at this price point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is nice with that polished River North vibe, and the staff was friendly, but overall the experience didn't match the cost or the hype.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Might give it another chance someday, but this visit was just okay. read more

Stopped by for late dinner at downtown Chicago and found this casual restaurant located near Nordstrom. The food was pretty good, I didn't love it but it was ok.

Stopped in for lunch after the architecture tour on the river ! The staff was friendly and helpful! We were a party of 8 and quickly got seated! My husband and I split the Carnitas sandwich w fries and it was the best bbq pork sandwich I've ever had! Loved the crunch of the slaw! Yummmy!! read more

Went to lunch here. The GPS sent us through the mall. We were lost for a bit. We finally found it and I'm so glad we did. There were 3 of us and we all ordered a different salad. We ordered the knife and fork, tuna, and the Caesar. We also do a smash cheese burger. Everything was really good. The service was good. The place was nice and in a good area for lunch while shopping. I will be coming back for sure. read more

Comparing to other spots downtown with the similar bar and burger menu I would say this spot would be a skip for me next time. We got the candied bacon as our appetizer. It looks good but after having 1 piece it's a bit overwhelmingly sweet with nothing to cut the sweetness. The burger was not good. The patties were slightly overcooked and dry. The sweet potato fries were very limp and were not crunchy at all. The service was fine. She only really took our orders and gave us our food. Payment we had to do ourselves at our table via QR code. The ambiance is okay. They were pretty busy on Saturday. The bathroom was low on toilet paper and the line was pretty long. read more

A friend who lives in Chicago gave us a recommendation for Doc B's Restaurant and Bar. It was an excellent recommendation. There were four of us and we all ordered burgers (2 Backyard burgers, 1 traditional cheeseburger and 1 plain burger with no fixings). We all thoroughly enjoyed our burgers - excellent burgers. I ordered the jalapeno fries which were a little disappointing. Two of the others ordered traditional french fries and one went with sweet potato fries - all of which were excellent. I'd opt for traditional fries in lieu of jalapeno fries next time. Service was excellent. read more

Stopped by for a quick dinner on a recent Chicago trip. We were able to get seated immediately as a party of 3 on Saturday night, around 8pm. The vibe of this restaurant is definitely a bit more casual than some of the other restaurants in River North - there's a bar section, and a mix of table/booth seating. I think it would be a great spot to watch sporting events. I opted to try the wedge burger with sweet potato fries as a side (for the burger you can choose your own side, and there are various other options such as onion rings, salad, regular fries, etc). Burger was decent size, and cooked well temperature wise (medium). Sweet potato fries were crispy. However a common theme I noticed across the food was that everything seemed a bit underseasoned - burger patty, sweet potato fries, and even the bit of salmon which I tried from someone else's dish. Could have done with a bit more salt for my taste. Service was decent, our waiter was friendly but you could also tell they were pretty busy in here. Even so we were checked up on multiple times throughout the meal, which was great. I don't think the food was anything special but not a bad spot to drop in for a burger. read more

We had a great experience, largely thanks to Marco's kindness and attentiveness throughout our visit. He was welcoming, helpful, and made sure everything was taken care of seamlessly.

This is a good casual spot for dinner. They have a menu that can easily please everyone's tastes from appetizers to salads to pasta to rice bowls to burgers, and more. I ordered the CA salad with chicken and salmon and the Thai sesame vinaigrette. Everything was great except the chicken was really dry. The chicken parma was probably the best dish. The rice bowl was a bit soggy. The best thing about this is the check out system where we can all scan a QR and pay for our individual meals. I've never seen this before and it makes it a great hang out spot as a result. Happy Hour and drink menu available also. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Doc B's pleaseeeee come to St. Louis. My boyfriend and I still talk about our lunch we had here- everything was spectacular. It was freezing, and in true Midwest fashion we weren't prepared, as the temps the day before were much higher. With no coats, we walked in here to get warm and ordered the tortilla soup. It was soooo good. Filling, thick, lots of ingredients mixed in. We spilt the chicken strips/ nugs and they were insanely good and fresh. Chick fil a has nothing on these. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super personable and talkative. We'll definitely be back! read more

First of all, if I'm ever in Chicago, Doc B's will be seeing me! Food, drinks ambiance and service were all A+. Came here for happy hour on my girlfriend's birthday and we were not disappointed. The Candied bacon... they should call it bacon candy because that's what it tasted like and I'm not mad at it. Most original candied bacon I can say that I've had. The Oven Roasted Teriyaki Chicken Wings were delicious as well and came with a very healthy portion. That's how wings should be served in my opinion ‍. The drinks were also delicious and came out fairly quickly. As my lady was looking down at her phone, I mouthed "it's her birthday" to the waiter and he understood the assignment and brought us a HUGE slice of cake (for free.99). Amazing service (closed some of the door in to make sure we wouldn't get cold) Ambiance is great for a date or group link up! read more

i got the number six sandwich with sweet potato fries and my husband got a burger. we also got a side of sautéed broccoli for our baby. he has several allergies and they were able to kindly account for those. i didn't love the sandwich - the chicken was a little sour. the fries were okay though with the honey mustard sauce - just wish there were more. overall service was good but not sure if we'll be back because everything was pretty pricy and the portions were small but glad we tried. read more

This was amazing hidden Gem right off State street during a afternoon stroll.

I think for Chicago the prices are reasonable as the meal comes with at least one side dish. I think the food is healthy and tastes good. I usually order to go and orders are prepared within 15 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the fact that the kitchen is open to see everyone working.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chocolate cake for desert is very homemade and tastes like it's made from scratch in small batches. Reminiscent of the cake I remember my mother making. read more

This was one of the best places we ate at while visiting. The ambiance was relaxed but still very nice. Our server was great I didn't catch her name but everyone that helped us was so kind and knowledgeable about the menu. I would highly suggest the chimichurri wings! Omg I still think about these. I had never tried this flavor but I would order them again and again. The drinks were good and strong and they give you warm towels for your hands which was such a cute touch! read more

Another outstanding experience. Tried something new, the fire, roasted artichokes, and the Keylime pie, and had my favorite standby as the main, grilled fish sandwich. Some freshly brewed coffee and a couple gin tonics. As good as the food is even better with the service provided by two of my favorite bartenders, Jordan and Millie. Super talented, knowledgeable, friendly, and available. A positive reflection on the suburb management team as well. Can't wait to get back. read more

Stopped in for the first time on a Monday evening in January to grab a quick drink and a small bite. Not crowded at all. We sat at the bar. Ambiance is cool and the service was attentive. We ordered the "Oven Roasted Chicken Wings (pic attached). The wings are 700 degree baked, with chimichurri and regianno for $19. It was really tasty. A bit pricey for what you get but I enjoyed.

Stopped by for dinner during the week and had a fantastic experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere just hit right, and our server made us feel welcome from the start.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What impressed me most was how quickly our meals arrived without sacrificing quality. The fried chicken delivered on both texture and flavor--perfectly crunchy outside while staying juicy inside. The chips paired beautifully with their guacamole, which had great seasoning. My salad was delicious, though I found myself wishing it featured the same style of chicken from the appetizer menu rather than a different preparation. Everything was reasonably priced for the quality. This place earned itself a repeat customer! read more

So glad we stopped by Doc B's for dinner! Exceptional service (we had a large party of 8 and had 3 strollers). All of our meals came out at the same time and everything was hot.

They have a happy hour and have such a variety of meal options, so there is something for everyone. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back! read more

Was in Chicago for a conference at the Marriott across the street from Doc B's. When I checked in I asked the front desk person for dinner recommendations and Doc B's was first on her list. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Got there about 8pm and the place was empty - probably because it was -7 degrees with wind chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server who took my to go order was really pleasant and genuine, not the fake kind. The Double smash burger and fries were good, but not life changing. Pricing was ok. Might go again for a quick bite, but don't feel like this would be a destination if I lived in the area. read more

Food is amazing! We tried the sweet potato chips with guacamole. The chips were amazing with or without the dip. The chimichurri steak was so good, but I would have liked more of the chimichurri. The flavor of their chimichurri was amazing. Drink choices were great and the happy hour runs later than most other restaurants. Highly recommend the food and drinks. The menu prices can be up there but the quality of food and drinks was worth it. read more

If you're looking for a hefty, delicious salad - look no further. And I don't mean one of those sad, stingy, iceberg lettuce type salads with half a tomato plopped on top. I mean a massive pile of good quality mixed greens with a bunch of fun toppings and dressing mixed in to add flavor, texture, and variety, plus you can add nice protein options. I added a crispy chicken breast as you can see an MM MMM MMMMMM it was heavenly. Highly recommend Doc B's for a good lunch spot.
