    Harry Caray watching over his restaurant
    Sidney Z.

    Our lovely friends from Los Angeles are in town and immediately wanted to hit the ground running; and running they / we did. The Navy Pier was stop #1 with Harry Caray's Bar and restaurant being stop #2. This lovely restaurant has so much sports memorabilia on every wall, door, nook and cranny everywhere, you need an audio tour headset to understand the history of the iconic Mr. Harry Caray. The menu was sports bar centric and us two people ordered (of course) a Chicago footlong Hot Dog with all of the fixings. I must admit, it was pretty good! Since I moved here (Chicago) four years ago, The Wiener Circle was my hotdog place. But with our guests in town they jumped all over Harry Caray's and of course, I politely dove in also. It was very busy here on this warm and beautiful day and the service here was very good and the ambiance a terrific show for tourists not familiar to Chicago and its love of sports. I could feel the Navy Pier getting ready for the summer tourist rush!

    Such a perfect location at the start of Navy Pier! Tons of sports memorabilia from Harry Carry's reining era! This is a family sports bar and restaurant is how I'm describing it. There is an outdoor bar on the patio with a lot of seating. Tons of seating inside as well. The food was decent and worth it for a touristy spot. Because of its location, there is a slight breeze from the lake. Combined with umbrellas for table shade, it was the perfect afternoon pit stop experience before making our way further on the pier. Our server was cool, great, and attentive in our lively environment. I can't wait to go back with my wife!

    Really delicious food with friendly, fast service. So glad we stopped here. We had a delicious blue colada drink, a bbq burger, cup of chili, artichoke dip and jalapeno burger. The food was made just right and everything had very good unique flavors. I highly recommend the blue colada drink and bbq burger both tasted delicious. If you are in the area stop by this place.

    I decided to stop in at this restaurant simply because I walked by and it caught my attention. The service started off a bit slow, but once our server got going, she was perfectly fine and attentive for the rest of the meal. I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka. The dish itself was good, but not anything that truly stood out. I did add crumbled sausage for an extra $5, which felt a bit disappointing since there was barely any sausage noticeable in the dish, definitely not worth the upcharge. For an appetizer, I tried the toasted ravioli. It was tasty, but the portion was very small for the price. Good flavor, just not very filling. Overall, the food was good but not amazing. I left satisfied, but it's not a place I'd personally go out of my way to return to.

    After walking 6.5 miles from Grant Park to the Navy Pier, finding this restaurant was like finding an oasis. On a warm Friday afternoon in September, sitting outside here with a cold Goose Island was perfect! Since we were visiting from NJ, my wife and I wanted to try the Chicago hot dogs. The foot longs here were fantastic! I ordered mine with Onion rings which were also very good. Inside the place is very cool with so many photos of celebrities everywhere. Fun place to stop if you're at the Navy Pier!

    No pictures of the food but some pics of me to showcase the decorating

    I had my 30th birthday party here and Ksenia helped me plan it. She did a wonderful job helping me out via email and I felt very confident in how it would go. She set me up with a great bar tender and server (I unfortunately forgot their names). I was pleasantly surprised when Ksenia emailed me about a updated even menu, regular menu, and catering menu and I VERY HAPPILY changed up my menu for the party Everyone raved about the food. I did a cocktail type party so open bar and hearty apps! It was so fun. they decorate so beautifully for Christmas so I did not have to decorate for my birthday. Everyone had a blast. One of my favorite bdays so far :) Thanks Harry Caray's Tavern!

    Wall m need in and was seated immediately outside on the pier. Waiter was quickly taking our order. Food arrived very prompt and was delicious. Holy Cow burger is delicious.

    We were outside & popped inside due to the heat. Music to start soon!

    Great Chicago footlong dog - yummy fries and the chipotle ranch on a salad has a great kick. View, staff & memorabilia is great!

    Harry Caray's Tavern was was one of many stops while visiting Chicago. Although it looked crowded my party was able to walk right up without a reservation and get a choice of inside or patio seating, we chose outside to people watch and listen to a live band that was at the Navy Pier for the evening. The patio was well lit even as the sun went down so we were still able to enjoy our meal as the night fell. I ordered the fettucine Alfredo and it came with a piece of garlic bread, I loved the fettucine but the bread for me was dynamite.

A couple of the adults ordered a beer, the others ordered a Coke. We ordered a large pretzel and our mains. The pretzel was so good. All the meals were outstanding (a sliced brisket sandwich, some wings, chicken tenders, onion rings and a burger). Service was great. It was a little loud when we first arrived as there was an intense Illinois State basketball game on but as soon as the game ended, it was much quieter. We really enjoyed our meal at Jake's!

I usually don't drink on the weekdays, so I ended up just getting an iced tea and him a tequila soda, but because I don't drink, we decided to get an appetizer and we browsed the menu for a minute and ended up splitting the Parmesan chicken egg rolls. Truthfully, I really just wanted to see what that would entail because it seemed a little disgusting or maybe even some kind of high-food, but to my surprise, it was actually a really crispy skinned pizza roll. I'm pretty sure it had been previously frozen, but in that moment- served with a side of marinara, I didn't really care. It was full of gooey melted mozzarella cheese and almost like a breaded chicken nugget center. Pretty decent as far as bar food goes. They also had crab rangoon to which I thought, "hmm are they doing a little too much?!" I'm sure drunk me would have gotten them years ago so what can ya do. Overall, quite a positive experience. The bartender was really sweet and everything wasn't super expensive. I've been in the neighborhood for such a long time, but I've actually never been here and I'm glad I came on a night that it wasn't chaotic.

Both were good...not sure it pairs well. (I saved the guacamole for my burger) I had the wedge burger, primarily for the egg. It was great! The burger was perfectly cooked as was the sunny side up egg. I ordered it with a side of fries. Perfectly cooked fries. They give huge portions. I was able to share with my friends. I ordered a cranberry and tonic for a beverage. It was great, however, they served it in a "bar" glass, so it was not a lot of liquid. I had to order two. I prefer pint glasses for non-alcohol beverages. Tasted great, just needed more. Prices are reasonable for a city restaurant. Without tip for 4 adults, 4 entrees and 1 appetizer and soda-water beverages. It came to about $130. Parking...If you can walk or take a ride share. It's the city and parking options aren't great.

Made last minute reservations for brunch next day after the infamous architecture tour. It was quiet as we've put in an early morning. All the more better to savor all intricate dishes from start to finish. Like the name, The Purple Pig, their specialty is pork dishes so majority of our orders were this. Daily special of the bone marrow bacon jam toast - glazed, slippery off the bone, savory and sweet. Always love a good bone marrow dish to get the sweetness off it. This was so good that there were bits of the marrow and jam left stuck to the bone, I took a piece of the toast and scooped the bone dry. Nothing left for anyone to attack this. Non pork dishes were the Mushroom 3 ways and Spanish octopus. Mushroom dish was savory with all the coated sauces elevating this. Spanish octopus was kicked lightly and easily can bite in to enjoy the tender and charred portions. But the award went to my main course - the braised pork shoulder with saffron, apricots and Swiss chard. Aside from the rippable pork meat when dining on it, the sauces fused together on this dish elevated it and had everyone coming back for more. I needed an official Chicago culinary experience and found it at The Purple Pig without a doubt.
