    1/2 lb. Moody Bleu Burger
    Annette D.

    This place is a Chicago institution. It's been around for decades, but I haven't been there in many years. Today was as good as it was back then. Ahhhhmazing burgers and fries in a quaint, cozy setting. We ate in the patio. The bleu burger is made for cravings.

    $12.00 dollar onion rings and $18.00 dollars for a small burger with blue cheese, these prices are ridicules. I had not been to Moodys for awhile and left without eating because I wasn't prepared to spend over $40 bucks for lunch.

    An view of the menu and outdoor seating area

    We walked by this quaint pub with shaded, secluded outdoor seating when it wasn't open. We decided to come back days later and were glad we did. The outdoor seating area is comfortable, shady, and quiet enough to have a conversation but still feel the city behind the fence separating the sidewalk from the diners. My wife had a fish sandwich which was generously adorned with tomatoes, lettuce, and onion as well as a heaping helping of home cut French Fries. I ordered the Cheesy Moodyburger. It was handmade and tasted like the burgers you remember from your childhood from the grill. I loved that they brought out school cafeteria-style ketchup and mustard bottles. The food was great. The atmosphere was exceptional. It's worth the stop for sure.

    Sloppy Joe

    Wow the place was so dark inside I thought they were closed. There's mood lighting then there's Medieval lighting. There was no one the, I guess Monday's right after opening isn't a busy time. I ordered the Moody's Sloppy Joe Sandwich ($12). The sandwich was very good on a very good bun. Most buns don't stand up well this one did. The portion size was huge. It almost felt like a pound of beef, but was probably half a pound. It was seasoned just right. It hit my sloppy joe craving perfectly. Since the don't offer refills on Sodas I got a pitcher for $7. This worked. The service was Good and I got my food quickly. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Rounded that becomes a 4 star. They are an old timey restaurant established in 1959. I would love to try their burgers. Would I return? Yes, the next time I'm in Chicago I'll be back.

    Jaker's Mark And Black Bean Chipotle Burger

    Basically it's a cool old looking place with some basic divey bar food. If it doesn't seem cool to you, then you might be moody. Moody's Pub is like an old British pub but with even worse food if you can believe that. A beautiful old interior with stones and wood, and some stained glass. There's also a nice patio. A lot of good drinks. It's certain better than any food. This is a place we went recently and were disappointed with the mediocre selection. Drinks are the only thing we recommend from here. The best one is the Jaker's Mark. It's $8 for a big glass. This is lemonade, orange juice, and whiskey. Simple but good. The food sucks. It has limited vegetarian choices. We each got a Black Bean Chipotle Burger. It's $10.50 with a side like fries. This was a mushy patty. Most spice seemed to be chipotle powder, just lazy. The burger comes with lettuce and onions. Best thing is the atmosphere. It has a cool interior and patio. The menu is lame for vegetarians.

    Fun spot with a great patio!! Service is a little slow and the foods not going to change your life but it really is a classic place where the food tastes the same as it did 20 years ago.

    How do one make reservations?

    You wouldn't want to unless you want bad service

    Are there age restrictions (like 21 and up)? I'm planning a work thing, and 2 of our employees are 19.

    No age restrictions, unless they are ordering alcohol (like any other restaurant).

    Is the veggie burger on your menu vegan?

    Yes it is!!! 🙏🏽❤

    Does Moody's Pub have patio seating? How long is the wait for seating?

    I'm trying to call Moody's but the number is disconnected. Anyone know how to reach them? Are they still open for business? Looking to go this evening.

    Sorry, don't know. Saw them doing renovations, but haven't been there in a while.

For an extra $15, it made sense to order the prix fixe menu with the wine pairings. A cocktail likely would have cost more. The soup and salad were delicious and paired perfectly with great wines. We all loved our entrees, although I suspect I loved my short rib wellington a little harder. I'm not a huge desert person but I can't stop thinking about that Nutella creme brulee. Also paired with a great dessert wine-- possibly the only dessert wine I have ever really liked! Yes the portions are a little smaller for restaurant week, but with four courses I was happy to not feel like a glutton at the end. Incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable service made this a great choice for dinner. The space is well laid out too.

Staff were so kind and willingly shared recommendations and explanations to us. They have a happy hour on the weekend. We ordered small plates - shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs, pimento cheese with homemade chips and flatbread. It was more than enough food , but I would like to return to try their cheeses, and larger portions. I am not a fan of most chips, but these were so good, and the pimento cheese was savory , spreadable and very good. The prosciutto flatbread was a mixture of sweet cream and savory. The salt from the prosciutto and the sweetness from the figs was perfect. Our waiter overheard us mentioning an upcoming special occasion and treated us to a slice of cheesecake topped with berry sauce. The cheesecake was so fluffy and the chevre cheese was creamy and had a touch of goat flavor. Uvae lived up to my expectations and we will return.

Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed.
