    Buffalo Chicken wrap
    Jessica G.

    Great local spot - solid pizza, good beer selection, the buffalo wrap was great! Service is always solid. A solid spot for a game and beer too

    Dead rodent in Salad. No concession.

    Since new (Corporate Management) took over - it's a totally different place. Rude, weak drinks, food not any better than fast food. New staff that have some in to make this once hometown favorite a total disaster. No room whatsoever if sitting at the bar. At a dining table, service is uncaring and unprofessional. They now charge 2.00 for a side of sauce/dressing. Use to be on point, prior to the change - all the good bartenders have left. Service 0 Food 0 Wait - far too long Beware and stay away!!!!!

    GF taco pizza

    We had an excellent experience coming here for the first time. We actually came on a Tuesday hoping there would be bad bingo (as seen on their website), but no such luck. However, they did have all you can eat pizza (one topping) which a decent amount of tables seemed to enjoy. I had their taco pizza (massive) and my table had a variety of things ranging from tots, to salads, to sandwiches. Everything was tasted great. The best part of this place was the service and ambiance. The service was like you walked into your family's home. The waiter was sooooo kind and I didn't feel rushed to order, to eat, or leave. Highly recommend this place for a good pizza, drinks, and a hometown vibe.

    Sausage and garlic deep dish pizza

    Hitz is a quality neighborhood pub and restaurant where you can get good drinks and food. I have been to Hitz a handful of times of which most were for pizza carryout and a couple of times for dine-in. On all of my visits, I have received good service. The menu pricing is reasonable. I enjoy having their thin crust and deep dish pizzas. I like their taste. They have pizza and other specials that you can check out on their website. On Mondays and Thursdays, you can get 1/2 price pizzas for dine-in only. They have a happy hour deal from Sunday to Thursday between 3 pm - 5:30 pm. In their bar area, you can catch sporting events on TV while enjoying your favorite drinks and food. Their bar area is usually busy and happening. Check out their beer selection. I recommend checking out Hitz for those who have not been here before. It's popular among the locals.

    We've ordered from here a few dozen times and it's usually in the rotation with Nino's and a few other local joints. Last night, I had the best thin crust cheese pizza of my life from here (I feel like Portnoy doing a cheese pizza review). We also had a taco pizza which was also excellent, but the purpose of the post is to laud the cheese pizza. I grabbed a pic but not before my daughter took two pieces... Everything on the pie was perfect - crispy crust all the way to the middle, perfectly balanced cheese blend, cook time and color. Whoever was working the pizza oven last night deserves the praise - amazing work and we will be back as usual!

    I've been coming here now for six years and wanted to add an updated review. This place continues…read moreto be super consistent with its amazing fish and chips. As well as the amazing beers on tap. No matter what time I come here while it is usually during off hours, they are so friendly and hospitable and very quick on the service so absolutely no complaints This is truly a great neighborhood jam, and very lucky that it is in the downtown area as well. There is parking that is free. Just be sure to be on the lookout. I wish I was never so full from the entrées and appetizers that I could actually get to Dear one of these days so maybe that will be a future review.

    ​I usually stick to restaurants with a 4-star rating or higher, but I decided to take a chance on…read morethis spot because I was craving fish and chips--and I am so glad I did! ​They have a great variety of sides for the fish and chips, which is a plus because I don't eat too many fries. Instead of the standard fries, we opted for the coleslaw and mashed potatoes. Both were surprisingly delicious and well-prepared. As for the fish itself? Absolutely wonderful. It was perfectly flaky with a thin, crispy batter, adding just a little salt and pepper makes it perfect. ​We also tried the traditional Irish breakfast. Everything on the plate was very good. The boxty (fried potatoes) was a little oily for my personal taste, but the flavor was still very good. ​What really impressed us, was the service. It was truly exceptional. The vibe of the pub is incredibly friendly and peaceful, topped off with traditional pipe music playing in the background. ​I'll definitely be back again! Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Irish atmosphere.

    Wow. I've been here multiple times, and not once have I had a good experience…read more I came here with my family for drinks and ended up having the same bartender who has caused issues in the past. First, he struggled to take five drink orders and brought out the wrong drinks. The bar wasn't even busy, yet we waited more than 20 minutes for them to arrive. When they finally did, the drinks tasted watered down. I politely mentioned this to him, and his response was, "You're f-ing with me." I told him I would rather switch to beer because I didn't want to continue drinking poorly made cocktails. He then replied, "Don't be surprised if the bucket of beers you order comes to you half empty." His behavior was incredibly rude and unprofessional, and he constantly complained about everything throughout our visit. Getting the check was an absolute nightmare. Somehow, he deleted our bill and couldn't find it. When he finally brought us a check, the total seemed way too high. It turned out he had charged us for another party's bill. When we asked for an itemized receipt, he acted annoyed and complained about the request. The issue was eventually resolved, but we were told they couldn't cancel the transaction, so the other party had to reimburse us in cash for the amount we were incorrectly charged to our bill. We asked to speak with a manager, only to find out there wasn't one on-site on a Friday night. Instead, we were given a handwritten name and phone number. As I said, I've never had a good experience here. Some members of the staff were helpful and understanding, but this particular bartender has been a recurring problem. I don't know if he was intoxicated, under the influence, or simply having a bad day, but the level of incompetence and unprofessionalism was unbelievable. This place feels like an absolute circus.

    We stopped in Duffer's Pub, down the street from Chief's, which has been one of our mainstays…read morerecently. The first thing I noticed was that all along downtown Lake Forest were large LF flags so it must have been before the football game. There were lots of families in Duffer's, and they had the windows open and the setting seems rather spacious, with golf simulators. We ordered burgers and tots, which were decent (tots - yum!) although we were let down by Beer Nuggets, which were like pillsbury crescent rolls with red sauce and neither beer nor nuggets. The Detroit style pizza did look very promising and I saw lots of pizza being carried out. Duffer's had a fun, friendly vibe and I'd come back to try the pizza.
