The family chicken special on the weekends is wonderful. The chicken is crispy and moist and they give you more than enough for 4 people. They had entertainment. THE STINGRAYS A LOCAL BAND PLAYED. Fun night. read more

Only have been there during the day, for lunch and a couple of beers. The bar keeper Betsy, is the nicest person, always quick with a smile and small talk. The food-the chicken and the ribs are outstanding, the rest of the menu is typical bar food, but a step above most. read more

Very fun bar with a big area with a stage for live bands and events! The bar is a giant rectangle and the bartender was very sweet! The manager was amazing and offered us a drink! Such a great atmosphere we will be back! Thanks again! read more

This is the epitome of the dive bar. Cheap drinks, great fried chicken and a ton of drink/food specials. Try your luck at the slot machines and get some the best local fried chicken! Service is hit or miss but the bartenders will always make sure you got what you need. read more

I was looking for great fried chicken and I saw online that this place was recommended. Instead of chicken, I got the ribs and though they were the tastiest ribs I've ever had in my life. So why the low rating? The place was freezing and everyone in it was wearing their coat! This was really uncomfortable! I was told it was normal on such a cold day! Also, the floor was uneven and my friend tripped and his body didn't feel balanced any more. I thought I'd really like to come back for the chicken some day, but after that cold experience, it really set the atmosphere as cold itself and neither one of us wants to return. read more

I only visit here during karaoke nights, but it's always been a great experience. With the craft beer and appetizer specials on Friday nights, I'm always able to get plenty of good drinks and food without spending a ton of money (probably close to half of my usual spend any a comparable bar). The bar itself is very spacious with lots of areas to easily roam around and play games and hangout. There's plenty of outside seating as well, to casually enjoy the nice weather during the warmer months. I've only tried the appetizers here, but they are very generously sized in large baskets and flavorful. The Mozzarella sticks are thick and enormous, filled with plenty of cheese and a thin crispy layer of breading. The perfect comfort food with a tasty marinara sauce. The mac-n-cheese bites are fried nicely with a lightly flavored cheese sauce inside. I wish they'd offer a bit of ranch or cheese dipping sauce with it to make it even better. The breaded mushrooms are fried very nicely with a slightly crunchy batter and juicy mushrooms inside. For $3.50 on a Friday night, all these appetizers are a great bargain for the amount of food you get. Parking is pretty easy overall. It's not a huge lot but I've never seen it too full. Service is fast and friendly -- even when not served immediately they still make sure to acknowledge you and apologize for any waiting with a smile. Lucy, the karaoke jockey is funny and friendly and makes sure the crowd has fun throughout the night. Overall, a fun place to spend an evening out without spending a ton of money. read more

See all

Awesome spot, nice and roomy, well established vibes. Check out Tuesday nights with the groovy live jazz. A special shoutout to Donna and Rick they have been great since the first visit. If you're in the area, The J-manDeluxe suggests you checkity check it out yo. read more

Muggs-N-Manor - Front door and patio - American Near Me - Addison, Illinois

My wife and I spend a lot of time in Wisconsin and have a few favorite places for broasted chicken up there. We haven't been up to Wisconsin since last fall and had a taste for broasted chicken. I Googled broasted chicken near Lombard and Muggs-N-Manor came up with very good reviews so we gave them a try. This chicken is awesome. That word gets over used but it perfectly describes the chicken. Juicy, tender, crispy... Just great! This was an excellent find and we'll definitely be back. Regarding the bar, some have described it as a "dive" bar. I think that term is deragatory. This place has a very friendly feel and I was greeted when I came in looking for where to pickup my order. read more

I gave. 4 star for the broasted chicken I remember growing up from Chicken Manor in Addison. The old location was around the corner from Muggs n Manor and was a little storefront for takeout only. The recipe is definitely the same at the current location that used to be JD Muggs, a dive bar. So what you have here are two Addison old school staples combined into one Swamp Thing / Toxic Avenger mutant. It was pretty dead on a Saturday afternoon, the kitchen closes early but the bar is open late so don't show up seeing the place is open and busy then expect their food menu. read more

So nice to be greeted when I walked in the door. This place makes a good drink and has awesome food. You have to have their gotta be world famous chicken. Dawn was so nice. Could be my new hangout. read more

They were over 40 minutes late with my delivery. It was cold, and wet. The food was seriously mushy. I feel like I got robbed.

Had the breasted chicken. It was excellent. Sat at the bar service and drinks were great.

If you like fried chicken, this is the place to go. Yummy!!! Service is great as well. We found this gem several months back and keep coming back!!! read more

Food was decent. It was standard bar food though. Our waitress was great. She was very attentive & helpful hence the 3 stars. We came for karaoke though & we're rather disappointed with the set up & how it was run. That said there are plenty of other places in our area to sing karaoke so we'll be looking into other options rather then go back here. Honestly we really don't have a compelling reason to go back so we probably won't. read more

I order from this place they always forget something my pop or some type ingredient. Not so happy and now my food always cold when I'm waiting. Why does this always happened. read more

Came here for a Hawks game and they have great specials. $3 well drinks, appetizers, and 1/4 lb burgers. Staff is friendly and attentive. But very random was the country line dancing on the other side of the bar. It was kinda loud. Overall a great chill place to catch a game! read more

Ah, old jd muggs....I have been coming to this bar a lot longer than I'll ever admit. I haven't been here in probably a few years. My buddy has been texting me all week asking of we're gonna make his band's last show as they are 'retiring' (which means one of the band members is moving out of state and the band is breaking up). My hubby and I have been sick for a few weeks and were both feeling a little better, so we decide that we'll stop in to support our old friend and perhaps relive our youth a bit, even if only for an hour or two. We walk in to the old muggs but they have really cleaned the place up. They have been working on renovations of this bar over the past few years and it def shows. They had a plumbing issue years ago that gave the whole building an icky feel and smell but they have that all fixed up!! Well done! After chatting with the owner, he tells me that they are now making handmade burgers in house and that we have to try one, so my hubby and I decide to split a burger. We go for the black jack burger and tater tots. Now, the tots are standard tot fare....but the burger is quite delicious!! It's got Cajun seasoning and Munster cheese (my fave) and is served with a little ramekin of remoulade mayo. The remoulade sauce added some extra kick to an already flavorful burger and came in handy for dipping those tots instead of boring old ketchup. The drinks are average price for the burbs. You're looking at like $3 domestics and $5 mixed...my tall top shelf mixed drink ran me $6.75 each. They lost a star from me for one reason: the last drink I ordered tasted waaaaaaay too sweet and when they re-made it, they only had diet 7 which isn't a huge deal but it was still pretty undesirable, so I didn't drink it and it still was on the bill. Not a huge deal, but could have been handled differently. Overall, it's a decent joint, they have some good food I wouldn't mind having for lunch once and a while. With the industrial park across the street, I hope they are doing some decent lunch business. And if they aren't, perhaps they will now! read more

Studded leather jackets, loud punk music, and beer. That pretty much sums up my experience here a couple months ago -- an experience that I would have been happy to find myself in during my college years but not really in my late twenties. I guess I've just changed. Anyway. My sister's boyfriend is in a band and they played here one [late school/work] night as part of a showcase of several local bands. I had never heard of JD's before, probably wouldn't notice it if I drove by, and don't plan to come back. My sister's boyfriend's band was actually kind of fun but that was all I enjoyed. JD Muggs is a typical dive bar. Smells like beer, sticky floors, furniture that no one cares about, a stage for local bands, free popcorn, and such. The bathrooms were surprisingly nice and clean. I have no idea how that happened. The menu was kind of expensive for bar food -- my husband were hesitant to waste money on potentially terrible food. I ended up talking to a really nice waitress (dark hair and glasses) and ordered Saganaki with pita bread (one of the cheaper appetizers). It was actually pretty good, but needed a lot more pita because there was too much droopy cheese. Oh well -- what did I expect? I didn't even order anything to drink. This is the kind of place where the experience (rowdy concert, Sunday afternoon, chill evening, whatever) makes or breaks your opinion. My opinion? Meh.... read more

I have been a "Chicken Manor/MnM" customer for I want to say at least 20 years! The Broasted Chicken is the absolutely best tasting chicken I have tasted anywhere! This chicken has made it to many Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, Graduations, Communions, etc! Our guests would love the chicken just as much as we did! Now that they have joined in with J.D. Muggs, that menu is loaded with many home cooked meals, that makes your mouth water just by looking at it! I have tried a few other things, all very good! For me to be coming back over 20 years has to say something! read more

The broasted chicken here is amazing!! I had a quick lunch on the patio and was stuffed by the time I left. It was all great. The bartender Alexis was very sweet and took great care of me as well. I will be back!! read more

My wife and I came here to get some food and have a couple drinks. It was fairly packed but had a live band playing. I loved that the band was playing yet you can still have a conversation with someone. I had the breasted chicken and it was pretty good. I enjoyed it as well as the fries. My wife had a wrap and those tasted good as well. Bartenders were good. If they changed the way they handeled customers, and the words they choose to say, they may end up making more money. Nothing bothers me more then a bartender server asking me if the food is alright or ok......if I wanted Alright or ok food I would have gone to mcdonalds. Only other feedback is sign is hard to read from the road. Cheers read more

Best ribs and breasted chicken in the area! Breasted potatoes are excellent! I prefer takeout as it is located in a local bar. Phone help is helpful and sweet. read more

Order take out. Bread was super soggy. Burger was cajun style. Couldn't even eat it. The worst glad this is the lastnight in Chicago. Food in this area of town is very terrible. If you want good food I would have to stay downtown. read more

Please read entirely as you will understand why I gave it 5 stars! 1. The wings are out of this world there bigger then most bars and smother with your favorite sauce. 2. This is a come as you're bar nothing fancy not a date nite but just a hang out. 3. I'm not part of the staff or do I know anybody here I'm simply using the yelp coupon $20 for $10. 4. If you look in the area you will find most bars are the same except the wings are the best at JD Muggs On that note now you know what you're getting into. read more

This place is ridiculous. I went a few months ago to see my friends' band play. I was not expecting clean. I was not expecting quality. What I was expecting was some semblance of service. Maybe five people were there who didn't come for the music. There were two bartenders, some kind of manager, and maybe a barback I never saw. When I first walked in, it took fifteen minutes to get a bottle of beer. The bartenders were mostly texting and chatting amongst themselves, avoiding eye contact. As the place started to fill up, it took longer and longer, and I didn't drink nearly as much as I ordinarily would have on a night when I knew I wasn't driving home. Some of the people I was there with worked at Brauerhouse down the street, and they were ready to jump behind the bar because it's not that hard to open bottles and pour shots. The attempt to not sell anything might have been because something was wrong with their register. I started trying to pay with cash, but they couldn't accept cash for some reason, so I started a tab. They said I couldn't close the tab for a while because the credit card machine didn't work either, and they were hoping to get it fixed. I don't know if that ever happened that night, since I had to use one of those old fashioned carbon slider things at the end of the night. I also had to track someone down to give them my money for the door. The manager guy eventually started collecting, but not especially effectively. Bands beware, you may not be getting your money. I don't think each band got more than about $20 dollars, and I know my friends' band gave their cut to the touring band because they wouldn't have had the gas to get to Michigan otherwise. The other issue was that the show didn't start until the Blackhawks game was over. This wasn't during the cup, I think they were in the semifinals or something. Like I said, there were only about five people there who didn't come for the band, and since they weren't selling us drinks, what they got were a lot of mostly sober people bitching about the wait. If they knew they weren't going to let the show start until the game was over, why book it for 7:00 PM? Even running on punk time, no one expects to wait three hours before the bands are even allowed to set up. They could easily have booked the show for 9:00 PM and maybe they could have had their credit card machine fixed in the mean time. As for the show itself, I don't know from PA systems. I usually don't expect much from venues that book punk bands, but apparently the PA was even worse than usual as far as the bands were concerned. They made the best of it, though. I know other bands that have played here, and no one likes it. I guess this place is fine if you're a regular and want to watch the game, but not if you want to drink or see the bands you may or may not have paid to see. read more

Only reason this place still exist is because of cheap $ Food looked gross...atmosphere bleh I wouldn't even classify this as a dive bar iether lol so yeah I prolly won't be stopping through here again... Can I do 1/4 star rating ?? And actually the only good experience I got here was that the bartender was kind enough to tell me shes never tended bar before and still made good cocktails from instructions I gave her.. Hope she finds a new place to work at. read more

Well, not exactly a Zion on the Hill, but it is a remotely solid place to grab a pint or two. I can't comment on the food, but the service was awesome for the two bartenders serving ~50 people. Basically, if you're in the area, you can't do any wrong coming into this strip mall bar. read more

Ordered food from here for the first time and couldn't eat it. I ordered the fried mushrooms and they were fine but when I went to eat my chicken meal there was hair attached to the chicken. The worst part was that it had the fried chicken crumbs on it like it was in the oil. I will never eat from this place again. read more

Saw a very professional and entertaining band there lat weekend called "Just Enuff". Had a great time dancing, drinking (great beer selection) and making new friends. It was a fairly typical bar but larger. It was nice that I could sit away from the band when I wanted to talk but could squeeze onto the dance floor when it was time to rock :) I will definitely be back! read more

BEST Broasted Chicken around !!!!!!!!!! Have been ordering chicken from Chicken Manor for soooo may years. We always take it to go. My dad and myself decided to eat it there yesterday. OMG it was FANTASTIC, crunchy and perfectly seasoned. Also the value is very good, 2 legs, 2 thighs, potatoes, cool slaw, roll all for 7.95. The bartender was very friendly ! read more

The chicken is the best, a great dinner is also the ribs. Fall off the bone is how these are! A fun place to go to hear live music, watch a game or catch a live event or fundraiser. I have had 2 fundraisers there myself for a foundation. The owner and the staff are great people. They greet you with a cold beer and a warm smile. read more

We've gotten take out several times here, and we have really enjoyed the fried chicken.

Great local dive with unreal chicken. I wish I could say more but we stopped in one night and had the Caribbean Jerk chicken wings and I have never ordered anything else. Got the kids 4 leg dinner once comes with fries slaw and a roll but they gobbled it up I didn't get a bite. Decent drink prices. Super friendly staff. We ordered 50 wings on super bowl Sunday and they were ready when promised which was impressive because there was a crowd and a list of orders. Someday maybe I'll try something besides the wings but not making any promises. read more

This is perhaps the worse bar in chicagoland. It is always filthy especially the bathrooms, the food stinks and has smal small Tvs I don't know how it survives for all these years. It is in a Mexican strip mall next to a Mexican laundrymat and Mexican grocer. I have only seen it packed on a wednesday. It is just a bad bad bar and living in addison I am embarssed it has survived for so long. This place should of shut down in 1980 which looks like the last time they remodeled the place. The Tv screens are so dam small. I go there once a year for a Chicago Bears game and really the screens surrounding the bar are smallll. They also pride themselves having jello wrestling once in a while. read more

Went into JD Muggs , Still-N-Grill on a Weds night for Karokee with three friends. I ordered a bowl of Chilli because I was a little hungry. It was cheap $3.75 a bowl. The Chilli came and it was cold with what appeared to be old Cheddar Cheese on it. It was watery and reminded me of canned Chilli. The bar and grill advertises wings for 40 cents a wing. Not at good price at all. The establishment has a bar area, a dining area with a Karokee stage and small dance floor. There is also a pool table in that area. Karokee does not start until 9pm, which is too late, I feel. However on Weds drinks are only $2.00, well liquor or domestic beer. Not at bad price but seeing everything else is so bad one would have to get sauced just to stay there. As for the crowd,,,,,, no comment. Not the best place to go in Addison, Illinois for food. Drinks ----OK. read more

Draft beer was flat, Mac and cheese triangle things were cold in the middle. Burger was decent but very greasy. Ordered fries and got tots. Bartenders only attentive to the locals. Probably wouldn't come back. Would not suggest unless you're out late and hammered. read more

If you want to experience a place that is managed horribly, then this is the place for you. Takes notes on how not to run a bar. Unfriendly doorhost, lack of cleanliness, television screens had snow (all of them), and puddles of urine under urinals (stained as if never mopped before). This is just what I saw after 2 minutes. I then left. read more

This place was awful. Our waitress Jenny made 2 mistakes on two bills. Insisted I had not paid our bill (in cash) for my food order when I did. She was either cheating customers and or cheating the owners. I paid bill in cash, then left about 1:00AM. It was not until after I left that she told others at the table (cousins) that I still owed for my food. They thought I had paid, but she insisted I did not. What were they supposed to do, so they paid it. I will NEVER go to this place again. Also, she charged a couple at the same table twice for drinks. they paid for them in cash, then same drinks were put on a tab they had for a food purchase, and they had to ask for a revised bill. She apologized for the mistake. Really, two mistakes at one table......come on. read more

We came here for drinks and apps a few weeks ago, and it was just fine. Despite the dilapidated look and funny name, we were met with friendly service and decent food. I didn't drink, but our server was quick with the refills on my soda and had a great rapport with everyone at our table (a few of which were regulars). We ordered a veritable smorgasbord of fried appetizers and they were all decent - my favorite being the deep fried rueben bites. I got a salad as an entree and it was whatever, but that's also my fault for ordering a salad at a bar :). I would come back to drink and hang out with friends if I were in the area. read more

Our waitress is nice and friendly. The place is wired displayed with filthy table and sticky chair the soup is the worst I had in 5 years. The only reason why I choose the place is to use the groupon I bought and I won't suggest it to others. read more
