Laid back dark wooden tavern style interior, televisions playing sports, and a party room in the back for bigger events. Happy hour and daily specials to keep you coming back. Menu doesn't get incredibly complicated. Old reliable items like salads and twists on burgers, but they also add items like arancini balls and Shepard's pie to make things a bit more exciting.

During my most recent visit I tried one of the Lenten specials, arancini. It was delicious! I hope they add it to the menu full-time. I also enjoyed a Cosmo and the left coast chopped salad. I'll be back!

Really great experience from a friendly neighborhood place!…read more Came on a colder spring day where they were still willing to serve us outside with our dog. So thankfully they were willing to do that! Servers were so friendly to us and our pupper. They even turned the patio heater on for us! This place is a must for anyone out with their dog! All the food was delicious and brought out quick. Loved the Mac and cheese squares! The drinks were well balanced and I had a delightful Bloody Mary! All the portions were generous and well worth the price. Excellent quality all around! The location is amazing in the heart of Ravenswood. It's perfect for a date, catching up with friends, or an impromptu late lunch in early spring! Can't wait for another visit after warmer weather sets in!

Really bad experience. Asked to change tables to accommodate a stroller, then when we were…read morecompletely done, bill paid, we were asked to leave to accommodate someone waiting, only to find a completely empty section of tables. I realize that their staff was limited, but are they unable to figure out that they could seat the waiting people (or a stroller) at an empty table and not use another table? The veggie burger was inedible. I asked if anyone likes it, and the server said "some people do". Not a ringing endorsement! There are many other restaurants on the block. Try another place.

The Bad Apple has truly turned bad. This used to be my go-to burger spot and overnight their food…read morequality seemed to go down. The unfortunate thing is that when you have expensive food, like The Bad Apple does, the expectation of consistently good food is higher and they haven't been able to deliver. The last few times I've had a burger from here I've been left underwhelmed. My go-to burger is the Da Bears Burger which runs $18 when you order from GrubHub. The last two times I've had the burger (once at the restaurant and once at home) the smoked brisket has been dry. On my last occasion the bottom half of the bun was burnt. It was barely edible without drowning it in sauce. I've reached the point that the price outweighs the food quality. We have too many delicious burger spots that are priced similarly or less to keep feeling like I'm wasting money,

We were out bar hopping for my daughter's birthday and stopped at The Bad Apple for an early…read moredinner. We had a party of seven; we were seated right away in the back at a really big table, which was perfect. Food and drinks were ordered, everything was hot and really good. Service was WONDERFUL. The menu is fun with creative names for their dishes. We found ourselves at Bad Apple on accident and we are so glad we did!

Second time here and it was just as lovely as the last time. We were last here practically right…read moreafter it opened and love how much this cute punk rock restaurant has come to light. There are tractor toys on the barn, adorable EIEIO shirts for the staff, and wonderful paintings hanging on the walls leaning into the farm bar name. We ordered the Wisconsin cheese curds (ooey gooey goodness) and heirloom tomato salad (special of the night it was wonderful and crunchy), a few cocktails (the corn to be wild one is incredible) and as mains the hot honey chicken sandwich (amazing) plus the half chicken (tasty). Service was great and everyone is super friendly. Will definitely be coming back in the future. The only reason I'm giving four instead of five stars was that I felt there was a lack of vegetable options on the menu. I wasn't sure if my main came with any vegetables but I didn't see any additional sides on the menu that could be ordered for the meal. Consider adding two veggie side dishes such as carrots or asparagus that can be ordered with any meal. Alternatively you could have the salmon Caesar salad as a half portion option in addition to the full option.

This is such a good date night, moody kind of spot. I like that they use a lot of seasonal and…read moreregional produce in their dishes, and that the menu changes seasonally. Their beer/cider selection is good and the food has always been top notch. We like sitting at the bar and interacting with staff members that way. Plus, isn't it always fun to watch people make cocktails? Just me?? :) Check out what we ordered here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZV81_CpvqX/?igsh=MWl2ejl4OHoxdGpmcQ==

More than just a bar, not quite a supper club, Fireside is a longstanding Chicago treasure…read more I returned yesterday after a long absence and was so glad I did. Half slab ribs, fries, coleslaw. So good. Ribs were tender and not at all greasy, the sauce was pleasant, the fries are classic McDonald's style and perfect, and the coleslaw evokes Popeye's. A great dish. Deep fried shrimp appetizer is an excellent starter. They have a small but high quality bourbon and rye selection, and make a great Manhattan. My noble bourbon boozers will love it. Hope to return soon for the Fried Chicken, burger, fish and chips, salmon. The NY Strip is prime, for only $42. Old wood bar, dining room, covered all season beer garden, very friendly service. Good times! A note about accessibility: This is an old, rambing building but they've done what they can to make it accessible. There is a long ramp at the side of the building which a wheelchair can navigate. There is a bit of bump to cross the threshhold into the covered patio in back. There are low tops in the patio, the bar area, and the dining room. There is another bump to roll over to get into the dining room, but it is manageable. The men's bathroom can accommodate a wheelchair, but the stall is not be enough for a wheelchair to get in - transferring could be difficult/not possible depending on one's individual situation. There is a parking lot, but a HC accessible spot would be a great addition. Plenty of street parking as well.

Fireside is a hidden gem! They have a cozy back patio that feels like you're in a friends backyard…read more We had the most amazing server, Nadia (I think?). She was so friendly and warm, I didn't run dry on Diet Coke, and she had the perfect pacing. She was genuinely wonderful, the best service we've had at any restaurant in a long time. Onto the food! I came here specifically for the burger that has a fried mac and cheese patty on it. I'm a sucker for those, and it did not disappoint! We first shared the giant pretzel which was really good. I wish it had more salt but the texture was really good. My husband ordered the blackened chicken pasta- the chicken was really well seasoned and cooked, and the pasta sauce was tasty. My burger was so good, but absolutely massive. Overall this was an excellent dinner and such a great neighborhood place, we will definitely be back!

Great little neighborhood watering hole with emphasis on Irish pub vibes…read more The food is good, I really like the Shepherds Pie. Irish beers all around. Super friendly staff. Good vibes and lots of charm. I've been here on St. Patrick's Day for live music (U2 cover band) and it was a blast! It's a good spot to watch a proper football match as well. Lively and entertaining. A place that I routinely visit whenever I have the chance on visits to the windy city.

They even had a live jazz band playing this particular night which was a really nice surprise. We sat ourselves at one of the tables since the bar was all full. The bartender was nice enough to come round to us to take our orders instead of us having to go up to the bar. I ordered one of the seasonal specialty drinks called "Stache". It was cachaca, pistachio orgeat, lemon, meletti, and cherry bark vanilla bitters. I love pistachio and I love amaro so it seemed like a good direction for me to go in. The presentation wasn't much but I was really pleased with the flavor! It was one of those drinks I had to force myself not to chug because it was that drinkable. All my friends seemed to like their drinks too. We were only here for an hour or so but I'd definitely return the next time I'm in Chicago.
