Drinks are strong and good! I sat at the bar, and ordered a gin and tonic (I know it's basic)... we got the rosemary potato's and wasabi oysters (not the best thing I've ever had) the place is super cute it's def a vibe. It's pretty pricey but I'll be going back! read more

So disappointed in the food. Hardly any food on my specialty sandwich. I opened it to search for the two shrimp and barely there brisket. It was bland and nonexistent. If you are looking for flavor and descent portions this is not your place. Literally the manager comes out with a small bowl of more brisket to fix the problem. The Mimosas are flat.. the bartender says sorry it's Prosecco on tap. What do you expect?!? If you're a local skip this experience. If you are a tourist please don't waste your time in this city on this. Far better food basically anywhere. read more

Brunch at outpost 45 today was delicious. From the frozen French 75 to the grit cakes, everything was delicious. Love the atmosphere. Sad they no longer offer the mimosa flights. I'm definitely returning for dinner. read more

The atmosphere & service was great. The food was a bit disappointing. The hangar steak was completely loaded with fat & had a strange seasoning. I ate a couple bites & then unfortunately had to send the steak back. It was not removed from my ticket. I had to share my daughters kids meal. The Gouda Mac & sheers was ok. Crab Rangoon dip was very tasty. read more

This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal! It did not disappoint. We loved everything we ate and the drinks were mixed perfectly

Nice spot. Went for brunch with my friend. At this time, they had removed their mimosa flight from the menu so we opted for a bottle of champagne and a cup of juice to get our money's worth. I know there was discussion of potentially bringing the flight back. I enjoyed my food. I had the Smoked Brisket Bennie with scrambled eggs (comes with poached eggs) and a side of bacon. It was quite tasty. Our waiter was great. We had a toddler with us, and the waiter paid just as much attention to him as he did us. It was quite sweet. The restaurant itself is quite spacious. They have spaces for small and large parties. They also have an all day happy hour that I plan to check out soon. read more

If I could have given 0 stars I would have ! Outpost needs to Take things back to the drawing Board and TRY AGAIN! Storytime! What was supposed to be a Nice Sunday Brunch turned into me believing I was being PUNKED !! 1. Needless to say the Food was 7/10 but the Service GARBAGE !!! 2. If you are going for there Mimosa tower they don't have it . They cannot keep up the Supply and Demand so they say. 3. Server - No knowledge of the the menu, didn't clear off table , waited a Hour for water . What took the cake was after 30 after ordering he returns to the table and stated he wasted water on his notebook. He proceeded to ask everyone what they ordered . Which means you NEVER put the order in . STRIKE . Waiting , Waiting , Waiting GRAND FINALE ! Food runner comes and drops the food and waste HOTTT French fries down my back .She immediately vanishes, grabs the so call Manager. He comes to the table , NO APOLOGY! He says oh I will get you new Fries . Just disregard the fact that your employee wasted hot fries on me . After calling him back to the table to let him know what happened he is in shambles with no clue on how to respond stating he didn't know what happened , and he he'd be back to let me know what there incident protocol was . He finally appeared with a Incident report and a Cat had his tongue ! Just don't go y'all ! Spend yall money somewhere else . Outpost TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES!! read more

Honestly, I don't plan on going back to this restaurant. I was excited to try them due to videos I'd seen on Instagram. Two of my friends and I went for happy hour. It's a nice dim lit place. The specials were $2 off frozen drinks, double for the price of a single mixed drinks, and a discounted price on wine (I forgot how much). I ordered the fried ribs and a side of Gouda Mac and cheese. I've had fried ribs many times before and these were just not good. The macaroni had a very hard crust on top, I just ended up removing that. The flavor itself was not good to me, and I love gouda. The actual macaroni shells were mushy. It reminded me of tv dinner macaroni. Also the food came out within 10 minutes of us ordering which was odd to me. It made me wonder if this was fresh food or something they just pop in a "microwave" or something. I didn't even get a Togo box for my leftovers, it was that unappetizing. The drinks were good. I got to lemon drops, one blackberry and one strawberry. I was baffled when my check came because it was $48. I noticed I had extra charges for my drink. I asked the waitress why there was a $3 extra charge for each lemon drop. She responded "I don't know." Then proceeded to go ask her manager. She came back to say it was $1 to add flavor and $2 extra for martinis. I told her she did not tell us that when I first asked about the happy hour specials. I specifically asked her what was included, and she stated martinis as an option. I asked if a lemon drop is included, and if I was able to get flavor, she said YES. So obviously she didn't know what she was doing. She did not offer to see if they could take the prices off, so we just paid. I am disappointed that I wasted $50 but you live and you learn! read more

I loved this place! Great for happy hour! The French 75 frozen drink was too good! I'm glad I tried it at the recommendation of our server Josh! The small plates we got were so good we forgot to take a before pic! lol It was a very cozy place, everyone should visit! read more

The food and drinks were delicious! Ate at the bar and the staff were awesome and very friendly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to enjoy some food and drinks in a casual atmosphere. read more

The trendy digs are cool, but the food is just not all that good. The Caesar salad was terrible. It simply wasn't Caesar Salad, sorry. It was totally fake. The onion rings were crispy, but the batter falls right off. And they were super greasy. The Muffuletta Eggrolls were the best thing, but it was jut like taking store-bought olive dressing and frying it. I wouldn't come here for the food. read more

Great food, service, and recommendations. We just wish they were open more days a week. We like to visit more often

Avoid the food. The cocktails are pretty good, but I have yet to have anything good here. I've tried the hot chicken sandwich, the grit cakes, and the bread pudding. They're all mass-produced and taste like it. It's a trendy place, and the service is good. But I wouldn't go just for the scene. That's just me. read more

Meh.....we've eaten dinner here 3 times and the only dish we can say is good is the salmon. Everything else is very heavy and oily (and expensive for the quality). It also kind of all tastes the same. The service has always been solid and its a great atmosphere, just wish the food was better. read more

Celebrated my birthday at Outpost 45. The restaurant itself is cute! The outdoor seating would be perfect for happy hour. Inside has a rustic feel and the party area is very nice! The drink menu is extensive. I went with the mimosa flight, the flavors were a little different than what is listed in the menu but seasonal flavors are understandable. Other people in my party enjoyed other drinks, all very strong not lacking on the alcohol content at all. The food was delicious, I went with the smoked brisket Bennie and was not disappointed! We also shared the fried ribs and crab Rangoon dip both amazing appetizers! The only thing I wish was different is being able to split checks, having 18% added gratuity is perfectly understandable with large parties. But usually large parties people are paying separately so being able to just get the check split up would be a nice addition. read more

Definitely give it a 4.5. Food was awesome in terms of taste. Definitely some creative items on the . Love the set up of the restaurant. Way bigger on the inside and it looks on the outside. Also, can't wait to enjoy the nice weather with all the outside seating as well. The staff was excellent. Definitely will be going here a lot. read more

This place seems to lack direction. Are they a bar or restaurant? They market themselves both ways. Need to figure out a direction and go with it. Food was ok,nothing special. Was actually little disappointed in quality. Service was the bright spot. Waitress was pleasant. Would go again if I was close by but don't see it as a regular place. read more

I've only been here once but it's already my favorite Lakeview restaurant. The cocktails, entrees and appetizers were all top notch, service and ambiance were fantastic. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great spot in the lakeview area read more

The food was excellent and the servers also I recommend this as a great place to meet friends and eat

This place is absolutely one of my new favorites, the food touched my soul. Definitely on my top 5 list of Venu's to go eat and have cocktails. The atmosphere, service, and vibe were on point The fried ribs, I need those in my life now...... read more

Ok, so I've now been here 3 times for dinner and once for brunch, and this place is pretty good. I've enjoyed my dinner food more, but I've liked my brunch cocktails more. You'd think it would be the same, but the Just One More cocktail I had at brunch was so freaking awesome that I ordered 4. The first time I went for dinner and ordered it, I couldn't even finish it. Likewise on my other dinner visits- it has never tasted as good as that brunch time. So I don't know what's up with that. I've tried a variety of things, and everything has been delicious. The brisket fries are a fave, the crab dip is tasty, and the muffuletta egg rolls are a fun take on a classic. The paneed chicken/pasta and the blackened redfish have been my favorite entrees. My least favorite has been the twin filets (overcooked and underseasoned) served with a mushy mac n cheese. If you don't like raisins in your bread pudding, skip theirs, but the pistachio cake, chocolate cake, and salted caramel gelato were all heavenly. Tip: order a chocolate martini and add a spoonful of the caramel gelato to your cocktail- OMG! So good!! Service has always been meh here. Not in terms of mechanics/timing, but personality/wanting to be there. I've had more enthusiasm from the door hosts every single time than any server on the floor or at the bar. It's just very muted, which isn't necessarily BAD, but when we're going in to drop $150-175 on a date night, someone seeming like they want us to be there spending our money would be nice. I'm going to retry brunch. When I first went the restaurant had just started the brunch program, and the food was not good at all. But maybe they've gotten the kinks worked out by now. Plus, there are lots of other fun brunch drinks I want to try. read more

We have been for dinner multiple times and tried brunch. It did not disappoint. The Marconi was perfect and the Pancake Old Fashioned made the perfect combination with slice of bacon made for a great Sunday drink. We will certainly be back! read more

Fried ribs were soooo good. The sauce is amazing. Loved the salmon too. Can't wait to go back.

If you're looking for a great place to eat, an energetic vibe, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Outpost 45 on Harrison Ave in Lakeview. I've been there for brunch, lunch, dinner n drinks, and my experience was outstanding. The sweet and engaging owner, Aimee Sandrock was so friendly making her way from table to table chatting with customers to make sure everyone's experience was nothing short of amazing. Her food recommendations were spot on, and the attention she gave us made us feel so welcomed. Thanks Aimee, we will definitely be back again and again. I'm so glad y'all opened in Lakeview. Check it out people. Mary Schluter, your Lakeshore neighbor read more

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of trying Outpost 45 for their brunch and I was pleasantly in awe at how good it was! I heard this place had just opened up and saw some friends had went so I decided to give it a try and I'm sure glad I did. Before going to the restaurant, I looked up the restaurant and was amazed at how many options they had and how it was going to be hard to choose just one entree to order when pretty much everything sounded so good to me. I split a mimosa flight with my friend and each mimosa was unique and tasty! My friend ordered a frozen Paloma too which was so good and I literally hate tequila so that surprised me. I ordered the hot fried chicken bennie which was to die for, I can't even explain how good it was! The biscuits were so soft, the chicken was seasoned and fried perfectly, and that sauce brought it all together. I definitely recommend this dish if you try this place! My friend ordered the smoked brisket bennie with scrambled eggs on top instead of poached eggs and she loved hers as well. I wish we would have ordered an appetizer because there was not a single one on the menu that I did not want to try! Next time I go, I'll for sure get one, the fact that they have a crab rangoon DIP is a game changer to me and I will definitely be back to try it and more!!! Our waitress was super friendly and let us take our time on ordering which was nice. I also loved the atmosphere on the inside, so nice for grabbing a drink at the bar or by the high top table section near the bar. The outdoor area was cute and would be perfect for happy hour drinks in the fall! Will be back ASAP! read more

Very good food and service. We went to celebrate a birthday and was not disappointed. The manager came to introduce herself to our table. When she realized we were there for a celebration, she sent out a complimentary dessert to our table. Thank you Amy for your sincere hospitality. We definitely will be back! Happy to write a review about a nice family restaurant with great friendly service and fun atmosphere! read more

This was our first visit to Outpost 45 and the atmosphere and food were both amazing! We loved the mufalatta eggrolls! Aimee was super professional and really made us feel welcome! We felt the vibe of the staff was friendly & fun, like they all really enjoyed their jobs too! It was really nice to visit a new restaurant with good food, good prices and a unique menu. The cotton candy dessert was a work of art and well worth the price! read more

Had Lunch here, the food was amazing and Aimee made us feel right at home. We will be back!!!

I really liked the burger here. The appetizers were delicious as well. I didn't care for the frozen cocktails. The service was excellent.

Horrible experience!! No professionalism what so ever. Someone in our party had a problem with her food. She ordered the Osyter BLT and it only came with 4 oysters The waitress then came back with 2 more oyster. She asked to have something else because she felt that it wasn't worth $21. The waiter said she had to go get the manager. Amy came stated she was the owner. I've never seen an owner act that way. She came out very angry. Not sure what she was told to her in back. But as an owner this is not how you handle a situation. She immediately stated how she wasn't replacing anything and she wasn't given a credit, which is not what was asked. She told the person in our party "you're going to pay for it". SHE IS A HORRIBLE OWNER. She didn't allow her to speak nor did she listen to her concerns. Sadly I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great time in a cool atmosphere. After several failed attempts to find an open restaurant on Friday, July 5th, we landed here, and ended up having a memorable afternoon. The mezcal margarita was one of the best with a focus on orange rather than lime. Excellent tip from I imagine one of the owners, who also shared with us some excellent cooking tips. Overall, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun and every human encounter was enjoyable. read more

Outpost 45 has a wonderful brunch. The crab Rangoon dip was our favorite. We loved the scrambles, also. The only negative was the noise level in the restaurant. It was hard to hear the people at your table due to poor acoustics. read more

Cute, trendy atmosphere, but the food is just not good. Despite having a not-so-great meal there months ago, I wanted to give it a second chance because it was convenient. Most of what we ordered was so bad that we didn't eat it. Crab Rangoon dip had a LOT of tuna fish mixed in. The chips that came with the brisket chips were stale and the brisket was overcooked and dry. The muffaletta egg rolls were decent. The people next to us did not finish their food, either. While the staff is friendly and attentive, the food is just a solid NO. read more

Great food. We went for brunch and ordered the smoked brisket Bennie, the Wasabi oysters bennie, and the trainwreck mimosa which were all delicious. Service was great. We didn't have a reservation so we sat by the bar. The restaurant has speakeasy vibes. read more
