Right next to the Sports Museum and a great place for better than fast food meals at reasonable prices. We came on a Sunday morning and it wasn't crowded at all. Service was very attentive and food came very quickly. Spacious dining hall with sports inspired images! A photo wall of celebrities and sports icons near the entrance. Fun place to come if you or your friends are sports fans. read more

We had great service with Gabby B. Harry Caray is a cool sports bar with a lot of sports memorabilia. If you get food there, you get free access to the Sports Museum that usually costs $10. The food was pretty tasty for a busy tourist spot. We had the Greek Salad, Double Cheeseburger with Grilled Onions, and Kids Chicken Tenders with Fries. The salad was fresh and the cheeseburger was great. The atmosphere is casual and the service was prompt but we did get there right at opening before it was getting busy. There are quite a few TV's with games on. But the highlight is all the sports memorabilia and the sports museum right next door. We will definitely come back. read more

Friday night and 1 server. 45 minute wait and restaurant was 75% empty with 20 people waiting. Server was incredibly rude, but understand she was the only server. Apparently they don't like making money. read more

Sports bar was cool with the memorabilia on the walls. Free entry to the sports museum with our food purchase was nice. We came for dinner and the food was pretty mid, I had the vodka pasta it just lacked flavor overall. Service was good we had a very attentive server. Two days later we returned to use our sports museum tickets and enjoyed the museum very much. My brother wanted to eat here again for lunch on our way out. I didn't want to but decided to give them another shot. I had the flat bread pizza and it was terrible. It tasted like a frozen pizza at best. Service that day was also very good. read more

I will say that the portion sizes are a bit small. I came during the weekend at noon and it was pretty empty but service was poor. The waitstaff made us feel rushed and any ask was an inconvenience. The burger was mid and the fries were not even warm when they came out. I probably will not be coming back again. During the day it is empty and I can see why. read more

Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch - Holy Cow Burger - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I should have known that Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch was nothing but another tourist trap. I had high hopes for the 7th Inning Stretch, because I have heard nothing but good things about Harry Caray restaurants, so I don't really know why I had such a bad experience at the Water Tower location. We made reservations for a party of 35 (an outing for my sister's team) weeks ago, and our main reason for booking this restaurant was because it came with free admission to the Chicago Sports Museum. Unfortunately, the host we talked to when we made the reservation neglected to mention that the Sports Museum was closed for a private event at the same time of our reservation. Honestly, if we had known the museum wasn't going to be open, we probably wouldn't have gone here at all. As soon as I arrived, I realized the restaurant was not prepared for the 35 people we planned for. We had to move 12 people into one of the booths, and had to add an extra 4-top to accommodate everyone. It was already off to a bad start. We waited upwards of 20 minutes to even ORDER our drinks, and another 20 before they were actually served to us. Even though we were the only people in the restaurant, the service was still so slow and our waiter never checked in on our table group during our meal. For such an acclaimed restaurant, the food tasted like something out of a school cafeteria. I had the rigatoni alla vodka, and I was not expecting to be served overcooked noodles with flavorless sauce. Also, everyone's dishes were cold, and many were served with the wrong side orders. The only good food I had all night was a Holy Cow potato chip. After seeing videos on Instagram, I really wanted to try the baseball dessert, but after being at the restaurant for over 2 hours for a less-than-satisfactory meal, I didn't want to stay any longer. read more

We stopped here for a beer before going to the sports museum across the way. Beers were great but the fried pickles and dip sauce made it 50 times better. These are the best deep fried pickles I have ever had. Recommend stopping for appetizer (deep fried pickles) and beers before going to sports museum. Plus the sports museum is free after you stop at bar first. read more

Went there for lunch on a Sunday. Good selection of beers and decent cocktails. Just went with a burger and fries. Really good. Their steak sauce is homemade and pretty tasty. There were people there watching the Bears game and cheering. That didn't make it too loud for us to have a pleasant conversation. read more

Alicia is the best. My husband and I like to have a couple glasses of wine while our girls are shopping in Water Tower Place and she always takes the best care of us. Super fun and fantastic customer service. We are regulars because of her. read more

Quite possibly the worst service i have experienced. The bartender who was serving booths on 3/7/2026 should never be customer facing. She was incredibly rude to my family, didn't want to give us kids menus, and was condescending when we asked for waters for the table, not to mention intentionally avoiding us for at least 10 minutes after we arrived. It doesn't matter that you're a bartender and sorry if you were in a bad mood, but this is your job... you could at the very least be respectful to your customers. read more

Good food. Fun atmosphere. Customer service was nice and decent pricing. Nice burger place

Came in for drinks and a appetizers to wait out a rain storm. There was a group of us. The bar was covered in food remnants, the bar tender glared at us and took her time to even look at us. "You want something to drink" was our greeting, as if we were bothering her ( there was no one else at the bar). She slammed the drinks down. Looked around at empty tables full of dishes and food, floor was filthy, and the people who worked there were standing around. Decided there was no way we would eat food there. This place was disgusting. It has all the signs of a restaurant about to close its doors, and clearly should. I would avoid this place. Can't imagine what the kitchen looks like if this is how the restaurant looks like. Harry Caray's used to be a well run chain. Disappointing, avoid. read more

Harry Caray's Seventh Inning Stretch was the perfect choice for a great meal before seeing a show across the street. We parked in the Watertower Place parking garage. They have a great deal on parking after 5pm, it was only $13, which was nice. If you are planning on going to a show across the street, have your parking ticket validated at the restaurant, it is a bit cheaper than doing it at the theatre. Once you get into the lobby, they have an express elevator dedicated to serve the 7th floor that the restaurant is on, which was convenient considering the other elevator was very busy stopping at every floor. Inside the restaurant, they have many TVs and sports memorabilia throughout. Our waitress was very attentive and really went above and beyond without us asking. I received better service from her (while she was also tending the bar, no less) than I have received in restaurants twice the price. I was very impressed with her. The food was also quite good. Fairly priced for the location, with good portions. The menu is pretty simple, but all the food here was well made. I would recommend the burgers, and the house made BBQ potato chips. I wouldn't say this is a destination restaurant (unless you are a big sports/Harry Caray fan), but it is certainly a solid value if you are in the area. I would normally give it 4 stars, but the service earned it a 5. read more

I really liked the salad I had here ... the steak was juicy and tasty and the salad itself was fresh.

Food was average at best. Service is was average. The place itself needs a lot work. Very worn.

I came here on my birthday by myself. I was seated at a table near the window which was nice as I could see the John Hancock Tower and Michigan Avenue. I ordered the double cheeseburger burger which came with lettuce, tomato and pickles. The entire order and presentation of the order was stellar. The brioche bun was perfect and held all of the parts of the burger secure making it easy to eat. I especially loved the "special" Harry Caray orange dressing sauce. Delish beyond belief. Many seating options including a large bar, booths, tables, high top tables and can accommodate large group reservations. The music was 70s-90s rock at an appropriate level so not to drown out conversations. My server Xochilt J was attentive, thoughtful and able to balance each assigned table with ease and professionalism. She was so sweet and provided me with a surprise complimentary birthday cake dessert with a lit candle. Thank you!!!! read more

Restaurant is few feet away from the Chicago Sports Museum. Food was delicious! Your typical American cuisine menu yet with an extra taste. The environment is welcoming. Waitress' service was superb!!! Alisha was prompted, attentive to detail and constantly checking if we needed anything. The only downfall was that the hostess did not inform us that if you dine in at their restaurant, you would receive free tickets to the museum depending on the total spent. The total cost on your tab from the restaurant should be sufficient to cover the museum's admission. The manager was great in assisting us, yet that's something that could be avoided. read more

Food was great. The special white chocolate baseball was a "Real HIT"! This will be a regular family option when in the city

We came here for a quick lunch. I've been to Harry Carays Steakhouse before, but wanted to see what the 7th Inning Stretch had to offer. The inside is very spacious. Lots of tables, but unfortunately lots of empty tables. There's a bunch of not only Cubs memorabilia, but other Chicago sports memorabilia around the entire restaurant. The staff was great and got us in and out in no time. The food came out fresh and hot! The wife and I both ordered their Holy Cow! Burger. The burger was very juicy and perfectly cooked. It came with smoked Gouda, candied applewood smoked bacon, lettuceX tomato, and Harry's steak sauce. A really good tasting burger. It was served with fries and those were good too. Overall everything was great. Might be a while before I ever return, but I would definitely consider it if I'm in the mood for some burgers and in the area. read more

Where do I start..... sat at the bar, it was sticky as ever, even though the bartender wiped it down (other patrons even said something as well). The bar in general needs to be deep cleaned even the mirrors, stainless steel, and there is a not so pleasant smell. The margherita flatbread was not good, it was wet/soggy/and not fully baked. I'm not sure if they were understaffed or what it showed heavily on some of the employees faces and attitudes, but it was a wait for drinks/bill/service. I didn't want this 1st experience to turn out this way. I will try again some other time, hopefully my next visit will be better. read more

This was a cool place for out of towners. Good sports and Chicago memorabilia. The food is decent. I am sure you can find something more unique in Chicago, however it still delivered good food (burgers are amazing) and fun atmosphere. The servers are super helpful and nice. read more

This place is a gem! When you eat at the restaurant you get to go to the museum for free! It's so crazy that it's inside of a mall, but this is a must see! The food and cocktails are good, but the museum is so great and interactive. Great for everyone and anyone that can appreciate sports! read more

We came in here for weekday lunch in Water Tower Place, the seating area is very large and the we loved looking at the photos and memorabilia on the wall. After eating you can use your receipt to get free tickets to the museum - we didn't go in due to time constraints. The food itself was your typical American restaurant food, we got the Brussel sprouts (they were ok), bbq chicken bites and the salmon entree. We loved the salmon (we split the meal between two people). Service was friendly and fast, we had a waitress who was also training another person. Food came out super quick as well. The price seemed a bit high for the amount of food we got - for two appetizers and one entree, total about $50. read more

I was here for the second time for dinner. As the location is up on the 7th Floor which also right close to the Chi Sports Museum. Which if you wants tickets for it, you have to buy them at the host stand. I was at a booth that was close to the bar. And they have a game menu, that you can borrow a game during your visit even when eating including Uno, which you cab play while you eat, which will make it difficult, if your eating and you get down to one card, you have to say Uno, or your forced to pick up 2 extra cards. And I ordered a double burger. read more

Great service create food and great atmosphere. They gave us free tickets to the sport museum

One of my last parties (pre-pandemic) was here. We rented out the entire restaurant/museum for my company holiday party. At the time I didn't know it would be years before I would be at a party of that size, but if there was a last party to attend this was it because it was so much fun. The staff at Harry Caray's was wonderful to work with and I left thinking it would be the perfect spot for my son's bar-mitzvahs one day...perhaps still My kids aren't very sporty, but we've stopped in their sports museum a few times and they always have a blast in there. It's good for at least 30 min of fun- they seem to really like the football and baseball games. It's free admission if you eat at the restaurant and otherwise a small fee. This past weekend I took my daughter and 4 of her besties for an overnight at the Ritz for her bday. Due to the pandemic we didn't want to be around other people so I chatted with Harry Caray's about having a private area for dinner..and confirmed the space a few times. Unfortunately, when we got there they led us to a booth, but once i explained the situation to the manager he led us to our own area of the restaurant. We placed an order (a lot of mac and cheese for the girls) and while i waited for the food they played in the museum. There weren't many others in there and they were masked, which made it as safe as possible. Their food came out pretty quickly, which they all seemed to enjoy...and then ran back into the museum to play some more after enjoying the bday cake I brought with us. My salad was pretty tasty as well and it really was the perfect spot for a kids dinner. While I can't see myself coming here with other adults it's a very kid friendly spot and also a fun place for big parties once it's safe to throw them again. read more

We wanted a place to watch the Cubs game before leaving town and this place was a short walk from the hotel. It's on the top floor at the back of a shopping "mall." The Chicago Sports Museum is right across the hall and I believe you get free tix if you make a purchase at this bar. Bartender was very nice and attentive. My burger was excellent. The wife loved her Buffalo Chicken wrap as well. Fries were hot and fresh and beer was cold. Prices are reasonable as well. Great place to watch a game and grab a bite. read more

I did not expect the quality of meal that I got from this restaurant. I expected it to just be a novelty restaurant. I didn't expect to get really polished put together dishes. We were seated immediately at a nice spacious booth. We started with some drinks, Avocado Bruschetta, and a Pretzel. The Bruschetta was excellent. I would eat it everyday. The pretzel was over done. Not burned, but getting close to it. The Signature Cocktails were tasty. They had great flavors along with a decent amount of alcohol. From there we went with a couple burgers, a beyond burger, and a hotdog. They were all cooked and put together beautifully. Nothing about my experience here was bad. The Pretzel was almost bad. It wasn't exactly good, but it wasn't bad. read more

Came here for lunch on Black Friday. You also get free admission to the sports museum! Food is good, service good. Open and large with plenty of seating.

Girlfriend and I planned on spending the afternoon at Water Tower Place. Starting with a bite to eat at Harry Careys. Checked in with hostess, 20 minute wait which is okay. Restaurant was empty. I mentioned to my girl we're waiting because they are short handed and want to give good service. 15 minutes after being seated I could see the wait staff could care less and we were going to be there a long time. One server one bartender. What a shame in such a beautiful spot. We got up and left. I mentioned to the hostess who could care less, maybe we will try again when your not so busy. This restaurant has gone the direction of the rest of Water Tower and I guarantee will close shortly. Garretts popcorn was the only place doing any business. Mall is over half vacant and stores left sell junk. I'm so disappointed. I will be contacting Harry Carreys as well for wasting my time. Larry Moskos read more

decent food, great drinks list for a bar and cannot beat free distractions for the kids (board games and interactive museum). the prices can't be beat for family dining on the mag mile. $9 for a kids meal with decent portions. no real complaints just no real wow factors across the menu either. a very consistent, solid option in the area for easy dining. read more

I was eating my margarita pizza. It was really good until I noticed a HAIR stuck in my food. Looked like a nose or armpit hair. Unacceptable. It was stuck in my cheese. And it took an extra 10 min to get a new one. read more

There was immediate seating when we arrived. They only had high top tables in an empty restaurant. The food came in a timely manner. The fries were amazing but the chicken sandwich was mostly overcooked breading. Our waitress was quick and on top of everything we needed, even split the check for us since we were a group of 8. If you are into sportS, you would love this restaurant. Sports on the tv and sport memorabilia everywhere. Not sure if i would come back here, not my style. read more

Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch - Fried Chicken Sandwich with French Fries - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My girlfriend and I popped in after a Cubs game to have a drink and grab a burger to take back to the hotel (a friend raved about the burgers at Harry Caray's). The place was strangely sparsely populated on a Friday evening, but then again, it is on the top floor of a mall. Alicia, the bartender, was incredibly nice and efficient. My girl and I took our drinks and read the historical sports pages lining a hallway, which was a nostalgic blast. The burgers arrived promptly, and we dug in at the hotel. We went with the Holy Cow burger. It is a beautiful burger, but it seemed that an over-application of steak sauce caused them to become excessively soggy. The rest of the burger was pretty good, so we would probably order it sans steak sauce next time. The fries were above average. Overall, fun place, great service, and solid food. read more

Ate here since it's a Chicago thing. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. No wait when we went here. It's in the water place tower near our hotel. The food menu wasn't as large as I thought it would be. However I had the "Heater" hamburger that is hot but really good if you like spicy foods. They offer different beers, in which I had the Harry Carry Ale which was a good spirit. They also have the Chicago Sports Museum which is next door. It is free when you purchase a meal at his place. Recommend trying it out. There is several different ones in the city. Take a photo next to Harry Carry's statue. Everyone from the President Obama, to celebrities have all did it. read more
