We went here on a date night on a Saturday and really enjoyed our meal! It wasn't too busy, so we…read morewere able to get a seat at 6pm. The space was clean, and the staff were attentive. I enjoyed the sports bar vibe with nicer food. My favorite dish was the Wagyu burger, but the wings were a close second. They were fried perfectly and the honey habanero was drizzled over them, creating a lovely depth of flavor - especially with their homemade ranch. The Caesar salad was good, but tasted a little like it had the cheap Parmesan on it from the can. The short ribs were also tasty, but a bit on the chewier side than I would have liked. They do have a few mocktail options for $8 each (very affordable). I really enjoyed my cucumber mocktail! Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Pilsen!

Our family sat comfortably in a tall booth/table hybrid. No high chair needed, but not sure if they have them available. Smithwicks was cold and delicious. Chips and salsa appetizer was enjoyable, cheese curds were amazing and we would go back for more. Our party got Buffalo wings that were huge and tasty, sliders that were homemade patties, and two orders of fish and chips. The portions, especially for fish and chips, were wonderful. We would visit again!

This is close to Tri-Taylor and the Illinois medical district so healthcare workers and other people come in and out all the time. There is seating inside and the food came out really quick! Being around and serving the community for over 50 years is something. They also have a nice Route 66 mural on the side.

I'm playing nice today *SERIOUSLY*…read more So my friend met the owner at a car wash and she wanted to try this place. So we come in on a Friday night at 830pm and it's DEAD. Not 1 other patron was on the joint. We're like are yall open, they say yes and say we can sit anywhere. It's built out lounge and bar style not a restaurant so beware. We opted for the bar since that's the only chair/table type area the other seats were couches with end tables so we knew we were ordering alot of items and didn't want to be slouched eating. Fast fwd the bartender is friendly and she took our drink & food orders. We ordered the baddest b*tch drink which is Hynotic & Hennessy for $22. We then ordered lamb chops, 8 Buffalo wings, steak eggrolls with steak cut fries. It took the food maybe 10/15 mins to come out. Everything was fresh & hot, the drink was tasty too. (Not $22 tasty, but tasty) Oh adding injury to insult they dont have real dine in plates, they serve the food in to go containers. WEIRD they did bring us little boat trays to share. About 30/45mins we notice the crowd trickling in. They had a birthday party coming thru. So we finished our food and asked for our bill to leave because it was getting party scene crowded. The owner was VERY friendly, he introduced himself and asked how things were. 2 things I should've deducted more stars for, TOTALLY DISGUSTING DIRTY WOMEN'S BATHROOM!!!! With all the women working here they don't see the filth? I mean I almost would've rathered pissed on myself! Smdh Then the parking! Horrible, they blocked it off potentially for the owner/club or vip people, but that left no parking and we had to cross Western which is a busy Horrible street to be crossing late at night in heels or whatever. So they need to do better there. I would go back to party, not to dine in.

I picked it because I wanted somewhere intimate, consistently well reviewed, and with enough hype to feel like a fun Chicago pick without being too much of a scene. Overall, I liked it! The ambiance is probably my favorite part. It's dark, intimate, very clean, and cold, which was refreshing. I can also see it being a really cozy spot in the winter. Service was wonderful, and the food was good across the board. I tried the smash burger rather than the famous OG Loyalist cheeseburger because I personally prefer smash burgers. It had a lot going on flavor-wise. Some umami was enjoyable. That said, I was expecting to be a little more blown away by it given the reputation. If I'm being completely honest, I'd personally choose the burgers at Leavitt Inn, Mott St, NADC, Armitage Alehouse, or Izakaya over The Loyalist. I can't quite put my finger on exactly what was missing for me. Even the bun felt like a lot compared to the rest of the burger. That said, I do recommend The Loyalist. It's a good atmosphere, the service is excellent, and it's an easy crowd-pleaser for a nice dinner. I just think the burger fell slightly short of the hype for me.
