    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. Just not something I would want regularly but occasionally it is fine. The service was prompt and friendly, restaurant was lively and full.

    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. 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. Might give it another chance someday, but this visit was just okay.

    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.

    I was in Chicago for the ace hardware show. This is my first trip here. One of salesman suggested this place for our first dinner. I started with a lemon drop martini with vanilla vodka. It was delicious The truffle fries were very good. I ended up getting the chicken kabobs which were tasty. Our server Arianna was very attentive. She kept our drinks full. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch cheesecake was ok. The bathrooms were clean too.

    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. The chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. Service was quick, and the overall vibe was relaxed and enjoyable, especially since it wasn't crowded. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back!!!!

    Cheese burger

    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.

    Wedge burger + sweet potato fries
    Stephanie L.

    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.

    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.

    The Number Six and loaded potato
    Michelle K.

    This was a perfect spot for a casual sit down meal with good food and service. My husband loved the turkey burger. I really enjoyed the chicken number six sandwich (basically fried chicken sandwich with pickles and sauce) with a loaded baked potato. Nice atmosphere and loved the convenience of paying at the table with a QR code when we were ready to go. Would recommend.

    Drinks, can't remember lol but they were great
    Shad P.

    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!

    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.

    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!

Service is polished, the space feels classic Chicago, and it's a great place to relax before or after a performance downtown.

We went on the memorial weekend, and we didn't know we are getting the brunch intead of the lunch menu. We were so gonna get that fish and chips equivalent, so it took us some time to finally decided on the meal choice. My husband got the breakfast with chicken sausages, while I got the burger. Their burger is great with two thin patties. The veggies and pickles with it is delicious. The bun is pretty good. The fries was decent. His breakfast is so much better than mine though! I tried everything on his plate and it was good! After we finished our meal, we also took some nice pictures at the balcony which you can see all the way to the Field Museum area on a nice weather day. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Grant Park area. We actually visited the cloud gate, fountain, The cultural center, Target/5 below, comic stores, route 66 sign, Chicago stock exchange arch, and the art institution all in that trip. Very convenient! Their reservation opens 2 weeks before. If we ever go back to Chicago, we will definitely visit them again. Hopefully I will complete my Invisalign treatment and can actual eat more food! The elevator is very "vintage" btw. We tried both the express and regular elevators and that was an interesting ride...
