Chinese chicken salad
Michael D.

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]]

10 oz Chimichurri Steak with truffle fries and garlic aoli
Portia C.

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!

Seared Ahi Protein Brown Rice Plate

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.

Menu

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, [[HIGHLIGHT]]restaurant was lively and full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

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.

Truffle fries
Jessica P.

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.

Cheese burger
celina t.

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.

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Service was nice, menu looks amazing. I only wanted a light bite, and this was amazing. Would definitely go back

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.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich 100000/10000
Janette B.

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was quick, and the overall vibe was relaxed and enjoyable, especially since it wasn't crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My boyfriend and I will definitely be back!!!!

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere and loved the convenience of paying at the table with a QR code when we were ready to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would recommend.

Any parking suggestions?

Use ParkWhiz or a similar app to find cheap parking nearby. I usually am able to find something around $10 bucks within 5 min walking distance. Saves a lot of aggravation searching for metered parking

When is happy hour?

The menu looked absolutely nothing like they show on the restaurant website. It was cheap looking. Same food options as website. The ambiance was well designed but - hotel restaurant vibes. Ordered the tuna crudo. Nothing to write home about. The mussels - I'm maybe gonna wake up with food poisoning tomorrow. The bucatini pesto pasta looked like regurgitated peas baby food and overcooked pasta. I sent it back kindly. And the chicken thighs were cooked. Like, that's all I can say. So I paid, still hungry. Cause the chicken thighs had basically no meat. Crudo is naturally so small and the mussels equally. Left and am now at Hampton Social eating a delicious lobster roll and tomato bisque. The highlight! The people sitting next to me asked me if o was a good critic! Haha - best compliment ever! But disappointment of a restaurant.

That said, this place just completely disappointed. The food was just not good. I had the burger sliders and for $9 a piece you expect them to be something special. They were not. Overcooked with a little sauce and two pickles slapped on the bun with a tiny little dab of fake cheese - it was like a bad and way more expensive version of McDonald's. The onion rings were the frozen crumbly kind not the fresh beer battered kind and so that's a big "no!" for me. The dipping sauce was okay. Service was friendly and I think the guy was new but it wasn't good enough for a place like that at the top of the building. There were two servers so I'm guessing one was training maybe. They didn't make it to my table to check to see if everything was okay while I was eating and it even took them a while to notice that I was done eating. It's was slow so I don't think they were stressing with too many tables. That kind of place should knock your socks off - but it was on the low end of mediocre. I wouldn't go there again for food. Maybe it's a decent place to go to the bar but since I don't drink I can't help much on that end.

They played good music and wasn't too loud. You could easily carry on a conversation or , like me, continue listening to a podcast. By the time I finished, the place was completely full and a bit noisy, but not bad. I started out with a 10oz Birds of Prey Pilsner. It was very nice. Light and crisp and very easy to drink. I followed that up with Melodious Maibock and ordered the CBG burger with fries. I didn't have lunch so I dove right in and forgot to snap a photo. It was a very good smash burger. It was cooked well and I really liked the combination of pickled onion and caramelized onion. I didn't see it until later but you can add bacon. As much as I loved this burger, bacon would totally take it up a notch! I started chatting with the bartender about their different beers and decided to have the Super Melodious Jalapeño Maibock with the burger. It's soooo different, but in a good way. It paired so well with the burger. You get green bell pepper on the nose and a hint of it on the palate. When you swallow you get a little heat at the back of the throat. It was so good! Great bar.
