    Brussels Sprout Salad
    Gabrielle J.

    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. 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. I'd definitely go back.

    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. And it was noisy, needed to raise voices for conversation.

    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. 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fine Dining crossed with your Favorite Sports Bar. The exposed kitchen just demands excellence. Look at the rest of my reviews, no one gets above 9.5 rating, Doc B's takes the gold. Bold, flavorful, memorable. Urging you to try

    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?

    Monday through Friday 4-7
