Cozy, friendly place with amazing tatter-tot nachos. Never even heard of such a thing but they were amazing! 10/10 will be back for the friendly staff and food read more

This is a great place to watch a game, meet up with friends, or just hang out. They have beer pong tables, tons of TVs, and a great beer list. Most of all, however, you're always welcome when you go there. The owner is the nicest bar owner I've ever met. He works very hard to go around and make sure everyone is doing well and satisfied. The service is second to no other bar in the city. The food is great as well. Definitely a Wisconsin bar feel and the food menu matches that. Lots of cheese, bacon, and burgers. I heavily recommend giving it a shot. It's a bit out of the way but it's always a great experience. read more

I'm about a 5 minute walk from this place and been wanting to check this place out. I placed an order for pickup and got the buddy burger. It was delicious! Only down side was they had forgot to put bacon on it. I'll have to stop in next time for a drink! read more

These guys are amazing. The food is on point and the service is impeccable. They know how to bring In a fantastic crowd and keep them entertained and happy. If you are ever in the neighborhood ask for McGady or Bondurant - they know how to do it! Most drinks are very reasonably priced and some of the higher end cocktails are only $6.50. !!! Keep up the good work and stop by MY BUDDYS for an amazing time. read more

Becoming one of my new favorite neighborhood spots. Great deals, everyone there is super friendly and welcoming. Not to mention the food is yummy too! :-) read more

My friend brought me here because this is her FAVORITE bar. It has ample room and a number of beer pong tables....who knew. Drinks are great! Servers check on you frequently. It appears that food is put out for patrons to partake in. The wings were killer. Not too hot, not too spicy...just right. They have drawings for Buddy Bucks which can be used toward food and drinks. This is a great spot if you happen to be in the neighborhood. I drank, I ate, I played beer pong and won, and I even made a couple new friends. All in all a great Saturday if you ask me! Bike parking on street. read more

Note to ownership/management - please put beer prices on your menu. Ordered a beer and when I got the bill I was shocked to see that beer cost $12. I had a great experience up until then and it caused me to leave with a sour taste in my mouth. (It was a Begyle beer which I could have gotten for $5 at the actual brewery just up the road. Really disappointing...) read more

Stumbled upon this place after doing our taxes so a beer was much needed.Super friendly and efficient bartender(Thank you Nick!) and amazing food that far exceeded our expectations.Good local,friendly atmosphere and a really nice decor .Very glad to see a much needed local in a barren spot..definitely worth a try ,I don't think you will be disappointed read more

Finest Packer bar in Chicago! We come here for every game we possibly can, and we won't be stopping the tradition any time soon! The food is AMAZING and the drinks are lovely, Bloody Mary bar is a MUST, you can pick your own tomato juices, toppings, and hot sauce. Owner Brian is kind and accommodating as well! read more

Five stars for the spectacular service. We were welcomed by a friendly man at the door after our kickball game, checked on at our table just the right amount, and given free shots! Not sure if this is typically a karaoke bar on other nights but the Tuesday night we came in they had karaoke. Their karaoke had all new and old songs and there was a lot of audience participation. This place was surprisingly a blast. read more

I really want to like this bar, but I just can't! It's close to my house and we really need a low key neighborhood bar in the area with simple bar food. That's what I want my buddy's to be, but their beer list is overly complicated (they have a punch card where you can try a bunch of local beers and get free drinks, but it's so convoluted and has to be completed in such a short time it's impossible to actually complete), and their food isn't very good. I've had two different burgers and their tater tots, all of them have been trying too hard, and really miss the mark flavorwise. I didn't even know it was possible to mess up tater tots! I've tried to come in three times for them to change my mind but sadly this place is a dud. Two stars because at least it's a bar in an area with few casual meeting spots with alcohol nearby, but it could be so much better. read more

Had my sister's 40th bday last night and let me tell you... The service here is fanfreakingtastic. These guys and gals went over the top catering to our fun loving drunken demands. Nacho, wings, and tots bar complete with cheese fountain, Awesome DJ/karaoke, 2 of the nicest bartenders ever (Annemarie and cute boy I forget your name #titos) you guys made my sister's night epic, thank you thank you for everything!! Highly recommend that space for groups and outings, and the front of the house bar area seemed really nice too! read more

Great bar, with a nice selection of beers, ciders, and cocktails. Brian was a very nice guy. I hear the owners appreciate shameless promotion......Hire me. read more

The warmest staff around. Come for the love. Come for the drinks. Come for the comfort food. I've always had a great time here and I always leave touched by great people and full to my hearts content. Cheers on such a great job My Buddy's. read more

Love this place!! The food is excellent! The fried chicken taco has Mac and cheese on it . The burgers are great, and the blt deviled eggs are yummy too. The owner is present and very friendly. Check this place out - you won't be disappointed! read more

I love that this place is in the neighborhood. The staff is super friendly and despite the corny names, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The review is 4 stars instead of 5 because I do think it's a bit pricey for the type of place it is. Regardless, I'll be back because I want to support businesses like this in the neighborhood and it really is a pretty great place! read more

Service is terrible. I ordered a drink at 10:57 (was waiting for 10 minutes) and they said the it was "past the cut off time". I said okay forget it. I ordered a drink later only to have the bartender completely forget and left me hanging. And I kept trying to order food and it took me 2 times to tell them my order. read more

Needed a burger fix... was planning on going to some fancy spot , get a 20 dollar burger and a glass of wine but just didn't feel like spending the money anymore. I chose buddy's because their burger is one thick patty ... I do not like two thin patty burgers, reminds me of fast food. Anyway, went to the liquor store, got me a bottle of red wine and then got their buddy burger to go. I was very happy with this decision and will do it again soon! read more

This is a cute little place with a odd menu choices some of which were good some needed some sprucing up. But our server/bartender Briana was very personable remembered our names very sweet. Brian the manager checked in on us helped out on a couple of mis orders. They had a good crowd. Will try again. read more

It's really great having this place in the neighborhood. The energy is really good, the food is great, and it's a lot bigger on the inside than it looks. The decor is great, too. read more

Such a boring place. I wouldn't come here willingly. The karaoke guy is cool, that's about it.

Ordered takeout, wings. They said they only had 1lb orders so we got 2 orders and each order had 6 wings... very disappointed and it's $12 an order. Rip-off! We went there and ate in and 1/2lb order was the same quantity. Wings and deviled eggs are good though. read more

Low key cool bar, very inviting. Bar tender Dustin very welcoming, informative about drink menu, I appreciate his service. Met one of the owners Ryan very nice recommend this place to all!!! read more

Love this place! First, they have a ton of TVs (more than most bars/restaurants) so it's a great spot for watching any sports game. Second, their food is actually really good. My favs right now are the tachos and steak taco. Also their salads are huge and delicious. And lastly, the location is great. I love to see more and more restaurants opening up in this area of Ravenswood! Highly recommend! read more

My cousin and I had a great experience at my buddy's! The service was awesome, both my our waiter/bartender and the owner or gm popped over as well. We both thought the food was really good! Solid bar food with a southern sorta feel. Fair prices, good drinks and a cool space. My cousin had the fried green tomato blt and I had the shrimp taco and steak taco. We started with the crab dip. All of it was Good stuff, great neighborhood spot to check out in my opinion read more

Lucy and Becks are amazing! This place is a hidden gem. I will return only for their service and hospitality. 5 star women and 5 star personalities! read more

I went in last night with my girlfriend and had a good time. The location of this Bar and Grill is a perfect fit for the neighborhood. Only thing is I just noticed this place two weeks ago as I was stopped at the red light. It was crowded, but we got a table ourselves. The Bears and Packers were playing their first preseason games of the year and they were playing beer pong by the DJ music both, so the place was very loud. It was all good though, the atmosphere was great. It is a long spacious bar with games and plenty of nice locals. The staff was great! Brandon was awesome. He overheard me talking about how the bar was divided into a green bay and bears section because the owners are rival fans. Lol. He knew I wanted to see the Bears game and he got us a table near the front to watch the game. Kaitlyn was a nice waitress. She could not help us when we moved. Not her fault. Food was great. I had the abuddy Burger and my Lady had a chicken salad. We will be back. Maybe for the Bears vs Packers game. read more

Food is great, so is the service. The setting / environment / decor is cool comfortable, and friendly. Great music playing, plenty of TVs for sports and even the option for beer pong! The only thing they need is more toilets. read more

We were really excited to try this place since it's right down the street from our house. We used to go to Peking Order all the time!! The servers are very friendly. The portions are very big. I was surprised by $4.99 for a Taco but they were pretty stuffed. The food was all very good. My biggest complaint would be the alcohol. I drank draft beer, the glasses aren't cold and my beer wasn't very cold. My first beer was $8 and my 2nd was $7. The person I was with got a bottled cider and it was $7. The bottle was colder than my draft. I was surprised that the drafts weren't very cold and the bottles were that expensive. read more

See all

I am a Packer fan living in Bear country. This is my new favorite hangout! I love the atmosphere, and the Bloody Mary bar is to die for! Now, it's not just a Packer hangout, the food is phenomenal! Might I recommend the Breakfast Na Cho's!! Good people, great service, great food! read more

Fantastic food and huge variety of drinks at good prices! Large assortment of beers to choose from.

Popped in here for a quick glass of wine and lunch. Tacos were fab & service so great!

I went here on a whim with a friend. Talked it up with the really friendly bartender. I think his name was Mike but some people were calling him Alvarez? Overall, very friendly staff and decent food for a bar. Good added staple to the neighborhood. read more

Fantastic staff! they make coming here very fun. my buddies is pretty unique in the sense that it offers mostly craft beer, and their food is a bit atypical. I came as part of league and for the most part we love it. probably the two biggest complaints are that the cheapest beer is 5 bucks, and the appetizer, although good, are limited. I don't think they even have fries. bar is medium to small in size, and everytime I have come here it is pretty packed. read more

We went to My Buddy's for the first time today for an event mixer for Chicago Market. First of all, the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The event had some salmon specials and they were so delicious (a taco and a salmon spread with dill and spicy sauce on top). Because those were only samples (and we like to eat) we ordered the muchacho totchos of off the regular menu. Holy moly. The description does not disappoint; mountain of tots with sour cream, cheesy goodness, scallions, pico, and the fresh jalapenos. I was so happy to see fresh ones versus the pickled. I love spicy. The best part is when we were halfway through. There was still a decent amount of tater tots on the bottom, and the goodness from the top made it to the last bits of everything. The chicken brought it all together, too. Hours later, we couldn't stop talking about those totchos. We talked about it so much, that we just had to write a yelp review about it. Go get it. It's so worth it. read more

My Buddy's - Muchacho Totchos with chicken - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We came to celebrate a friend's birthday after we found that our first choice was closed for the day and I was surprised how delicious the food here was. The chicken taco and the shrimp taco were tasty albeit the shrimp taco's sauce was tooooo spicy. We also had a salad, sloppy joe's, and the vegetarian burger - everything was good, especially the tater tots that came with the burgers. The three people who ordered drinks were satisfied with the selection of drinks. The prices on the menu are lower than what you'd pay up in Andersonville. Since we live in the neighborhood, we're definitely coming back. read more

I went to My Buddy's this past weekend and there was a situation but it was quickly resolved by the manager and employees that were there that night! They made my party and I feel so welcome and took care of us the rest of the night and my group had a wonderful time! The food was great and the people working were a joy! Thank you so much! read more

We started going because they were doing all sorts of fundraisers for the neighborhood. Once I went back to sit down and eat a meal, it was great. Slow, and it wasn't busy. But the burger was excellent. read more
