Hands down the BEST chicken Caesar wrap in Chicago. Huge Parmesan shavings, thick and flavorful Caesar dressing, croutons that somehow stay crunchy while still soft, perfectly seasoned chicken, and lettuce so crisp it gives a loud crunch with every bite. Do yourself a favor and order it with the sweet potato tater tots. I genuinely crave this wrap at random times during the day and even late at night, and can say with a completely straight face that we're obsessed. At one point we were ordering it weekly, and now it's still a minimum every three weeks. We've also ordered their chicken wings before and loved those too, but I think the price has gone up too much for us to continue ordering the wings. Regardless this wrap continues to be the thing we keep coming back for. read more

Michigan man here and stepped into enemy territory to watch a Lions game with fellow Michigander transplants. We had an awesome time! Food was delicious (and as you can see I was eating healthy) as were the drinks. They have a great beer selection. Staff was awesome - friendly and engaging and attentive. Glad to have found this gem and will be back for other Detroit sports games (but not the Sparty ones, haha) read more

Came here to nosh on Wings and fried cheese curds while watching one of the NBA finals game. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was friendly and it wasn't too crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the TVs they had everywhere so there was really no bad seat in the house to catch the major games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was good and portions were generous, but not my favorite. The Wings were a tad overcooked and under-seasoned. Cheese curds tasted pillow soft when hot, but once it cooled down, something was a little off on the texture and color ... it was chewy and clear. It's a neighborhood spot that's open late and I'd return for that reason. I'll give the burger and fries a try next time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great place to come to watch your favorite team on a big screen with friends![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even if you support different teams, there are at least 3 to 4 games on at any given time during prime time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoy the two day chopped salad half order and their fries.

Stopped in on a Sunday evening for the Lions game. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was pretty full, but we snagged a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of TVs so no bad tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server, Mariah, was amazing! She was so on top of checking on us and giving us recommendations. We started with the cheese curds and I had the buffalo chicken wrap. Wow, the food was amazing and the portions were huge for the price. The ranch was especially delicious. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

It pains me to write this, but as others have said, this place really has gone down. Got drumlets tonight that were cold, very dry, and absolutely flavorless--I had to literally soak them in hot sauce I had at home. As I write this, I really have no desire to finish any of it since it's basically inedible. Such a shame as it used to be a go to for my family on game days, but food has gone down and prices are way up. Makes me wonder if it is under new management since the move? read more

I went in on a Thursday night for dinner and a drink with a friend. We sat down and no acknowledged us for at least 15 minutes. We finally ordered all at once because we were starving at that point. Our spinach/artichoke dip came out freezing cold and was clearly not cooked at all. We sent it back and did not ask for another. We also ordered margaritas that were a horrible mix that we could not even drink. I understand this is likely not their specialty, but it's listed as on their drink menu. My friend had a burger which was fine and my chicken sliders were ok but were so thick they were basically a big chunk of chicken on a bun. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The TVs were also so loud for only having a weekly Cubs game on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recall enjoying Wild Goose in the past, but it has definitely gone downhill. read more

Excellent bar with a special shoot out as being a Michigan State bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food is great and the atmosphere is even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did knock off 1 star because they were so understaffed for the football game and our waitress was honestly awful. She didn't know half the drinks in the menu and brought multiple wrong drinks. I've been back a few times since the initial time and service is still sporadic but the food and atmosphere on game day weigh out the sporadic service. read more

have eaten here a dozen times before but unfortunately won't be going again. I would also advise anyone with children to also give this place a miss. As I was parking diagonally opposite the bar, the car alarm of a blue jeep in front sounded. I do not know what caused it - I did not come close to the other vehicle. Perhaps it was the fact that the dog that had been abandoned inside the car (it was 32f out so perhaps it was trying to keep warm) was jumping all over the place and set it off. Just as I was about to exit my car, a woman came up shouting "What the fuck are you doing? Do not fuck up my car you fucking asshole." When I stated that I had not come within two feet the other car, the lady identified herself as the owner of Wild Goose. Putting two and two together, I would guess that she saw me parking near her car and was in the bar setting off the alarm with her keys. I told her that I had planned on stopping in with my children but that this would no longer be the case. She replied, "Just go then. It's a great place." In short, the owner is a complete jerk. My kids had to witness the whole thing and all because she wanted to have two parking spaces to herself. Top this off with the fact that she left her dog in the car in freezing cold weather, I won't be returning. read more

This just open in Lincoln Square and it has been a hit! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is sports bar with really good food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tons of TVs playing sports, music plays on background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were all kinds of groups, families, people on dates, buddies grabbing a bite and beer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bartender was efficient, but could have used a second person helping. We went Saturday night and bartender was taking care of bar (pretty long) and making drinks for drink orders from waiters. I noticed waiters helping bartender by serving their table beers orders. Definitely would go back! read more

Guys I'm not going to lie, this place is legit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, they have to do something about the smell. I don't know what it is, probably bathroom related.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was amazing, drinks great, smell was off putting. I will be back I'm honestly just putting this here so they fix the smell. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We recently visited with a group and were able to find tables in the back room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's been a few years since we have been back in the old neighborhood of Lincoln Square. I remember the location and something else was in its place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyway, the place is huge with two big rooms: the main room with the bar, and the second room with lots of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have no idea if they have food or not as we visited after an event so we were just grabbing a drink or two before heading back to the burbs. There were multiple servers who approached our table but not overly so, just to make sure that when were were ready to order drinks that we wouldn't have to wait. We ordered a Corona (which was perfectly cold) and a Gypsy Apple Mule. The server said it tasted a bit like apple pie. It did. I'm a fan of mules and this was truly something different and a nice change from the norm. It was a good recommendation. The servers were all friendly and would stop and chat awhile. It's something you don't see too often especially when a place is busy like the Wild Goose was that day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Wild Goose seems like a great addition to the neighborhood to have good times with friends, family, and catch a game on their numerous televisions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wild Goose is definitely worth a visit. Like Arnold says, "I'll be back." read more

This used to be a non issue but the expectations for food quality have risen along with the prices. I recently went back for wings that cost $17 plus tax and tip, and they were unfortunately dry and cold when they arrived. When you promote your establishment with claims of award-winning wings, it's important that they come out piping hot and juicy. I really hope they take this feedback to heart and improve, as this used to be my go-to spot for wings back in the day. read more

If you're searching for the perfect spot to catch a Bears game with family and friends, The Wild Goose should be at the top of your list. My recent visit, during the season's final Bears matchup, proved just how special this place is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even with the restaurant packed and buzzing with excitement, the staff created an atmosphere that felt warm, welcoming, and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and friendly energy. The staff was not only attentive but also mindful of everyone's comfort and safety, watching the door so the space never became a hazard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite the crowds, there was no sense of chaos--just a lively, fun vibe that made us feel right at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service at The Wild Goose is impressively quick and thoughtful. Our food and drinks arrived promptly, and we never felt like we were waiting, even though the bar was bustling. Special thanks to Will, Liz, Eddie, and Andrew, who made sure every detail was attended to. They checked in frequently, making sure our table had everything we needed and that our experience was as enjoyable as possible. The food lived up to the game day hype. The wings were outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly sauced. Drinks were delivered quickly and kept the good times rolling. But the real highlight of the meal was the bread pudding dessert. It was so delicious that I even ordered a serving for the table next to mine, convinced that everyone should experience it. If sweets are your thing, this dessert comes highly recommended. What truly sets The Wild Goose apart is the personal touch that runs through every aspect of the service. Sharing a dessert, cheering with friends, and being surrounded by attentive staff made the evening unforgettable. The Wild Goose knows how to make every guest feel special, even on their busiest nights. All in all, The Wild Goose is a wonderful place, full of great people and top-notch service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whether you're in the mood for sports or simply want a memorable night out, you'll find the perfect blend of hospitality and flavor here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't miss the wings, and be sure to save room for the bread pudding! read more

The wings are like no other. Great selection of wing flavors, nice size wings. They have good service but if it gets busy, it could get a bit lack luster. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance gives off a good college bar with a bit of swag.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been coming to this place for over 20 years and will continue on being a customer, as long as they are open. I really wish they bring back the $0.25 wing night, they were legendary. read more

This used to be our favorite place. We gave it so many chances after their move but unfortunately the service and food has gone downhill. The fries changed and they're always super greasy. The wrap is 70% lettuce. I literally pulled handfuls of it out of my wrap and it wasn't even dressed with dressing. Sometimes the food is really great but it's not worth spending money in hopes to get a good wrap. If you do pick up there's no direction for where pickup is and if you stand around waiting the staff just walks right past even if you try stopping them to ask for help. It's so awkward every time. read more

3 visits on quiet Monday afternoons & the food & service has been excellent! The steak salad is quite good & reasonably-priced. The kitchen made adaptations for my Celiac Disease, that the server mostly remembered after only 1 visit!

Thanks! read more

My S.O. and I were at the Wild Goose this Sunday for the first half of the Bears game. This is why we won't be back for the foreseeable future. My S.O. had happy memories, apparently, of watching a Bears game with me at their old location some 13 odd years ago. Good service. Decent food. Jovial vibe. Every time the Bears scored, they'd play the Bears fight song. And I had a good time watching their last Superbowl appearance there with a friend a few years before that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]NONE of that at their new location at Lincoln and Wilson (formerly 'Fork.'). For starters, perhaps a quarter of the many screens around the main area were tuned to the Bears game. Looked like they were shunting Bears fans and their families off to a back room for all Bears game screens.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We avoided that room as we disapprove of kids in bars and there were plenty back there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Guys, I know the Bears have been having a rough few seasons, but you're in CHICAGO. Not out by the airport or some unloved suburb. You're in the heart of the Chicago neighborhood of Lincoln Square. Put the out-of-towners and FanDuel idiots in the back room! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My favorite part was the fact that we purposely sat down near a really nice giant screen we were sure would eventually get tuned to the Bears game as it was just game-time when we entered. Nope. It stayed on the Commanders game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Worse, a full gaggle of full-on Bears fans in jerseys and everything sat down even closer to that screen than we were -- it basically adjoined their table. They begged the staff to turn it to the Bears game and finally what looked to be the manager or owner came over and told them no dice. That there were a couple precious turds somewhere who for some reason picked a purportedly neighborhood bar to come and watch the Commanders game. The Bears fans were disgusted and had to turn their attention to the same screen we were squinting at behind the bar. Jesus, at least comp their drinks. And THEN there was the service. Yikes. True story, we timed it: It was seat-yourself and a full 15 minutes elapsed between the time we were seated and literally any staff asked us literally anything. No water. No menus. No acknowledgment. No greeting of any kind. The wait-staff we saw walking around seemed to be actively avoiding us. We turned it into a game -- counting the minutes. Just as we were getting ready to bail, their version of a server brought over waters and took a drink order. Dude was polite enough but wasn't apologetic about the wait. Seemed a little proud of himself for including us in his day's affairs. He came around just often enough to keep us from completely losing our cool. I had to scout out and steal salt and pepper shakers from an empty table and later sympathized with a guy who wanted ours. But my favorite part came when I asked our weird server what good bourbons they had (so my girlfriend could sedate herself with a double). He said "I don't know, really. I'm more of a whiskey guy." I didn't have the heart to tell him bourbon is a KIND of whiskey and that anyone who's truly into the latter would understand the former. At this point I was concerned for everyone's dignity there -- even his. I should have realized from his hair and outfit that dignity was not one of his top priorities. Food: Wings were decent. My date didn't care for them and filled up on fries. The bill was steep for what we had but in line with the neighborhood. I tipped the weirdo way more than he deserved. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Come halftime we fled down the street to O'Shaughnessy's, our usual standby. We were recognized and warmly welcomed there. All the staff were wearing Bears jerseys. All the screens were tuned to the Bears game. And they rang the bell every time the Bears scored.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] THAT's how you do it, Wild Goose. Try harder. read more

There's isn't a sign to "sit yourselves". So please sit yourselves when you go in. It's a great local bar! The food is okay to pretty good such as the "wild fries" are the best. However, the wings have lost their touch over the years and don't taste as fresh any more. They gave also raised their prices. It's a great atmosphere when a local sport team is playing. However, the crowed has died down a lot since they took away the wing special on Mondays or all specials throughout the week. (Bad business decisión if you ask me) The service was good and I am happy to see that veteran busser/food runner is still there. He makes sure the server is caught up. However, being that is not busy there was only one server which meant that you had to wait a while to get another drink which okay for our pace. If the servers get to sell more liquor and the food gets better in their quality, I wouldn't mind to be here every weekend but I know I see this bar if they keep the same management going downhill. read more

Not very good anymore. I've been going to the goose for 20 years. The food was always consistent. They moved and I'm trying to like it but I can't. The service was slow. The food was so bad I've had to request a do over and I just can't anymore. Dried out roast beef. Fish fry that looks like broken off pieces from the bottom of the fryer and the same for the fries. Always cold. I just can't try anymore. These are the fries they brought me tonight. Need I say more. .... read more

Came in to get a drink with my cousin on a not very packed Friday night. We both ordered one drink. Our server brought a shot for himself, unprompted. When he brought the check for us he charged us for his shot even though neither of us had offered to buy him a shot. It was only $6 but the fact this man thought it was okay speaks volumes to what else he could charge extra. Make sure to look over your checks before you pay. read more

I like the atmosphere here, especially at 75% capacity and how tables are spaced apart haha I've had their $0.25 wings before and really liked them. This time, there wasn't that deal. My friend and I ordered: wild fries, fried pickles, and chicken wings: 5 spicy pad Thai, 5 chipotle bbq, and 5 spicy sweet and sour. The fries, yum! Especially when they're hot. There was a lot of sauce, so at the end when it was cold, it was a bit heavy. The fried pickles, also great. I wish it came with more, but the contrast of the Pickle's sourness and the breading with the sauce were great together. And the wings: Spicy pad thai- it doesn't taste like pad Thai, more like a sourish sauce with bell peppers. I can't even describe it, but it was my least favorite. Spicy sweet and sour- 2nd place because it tasted better than the pad Thai wings. Still though, I don't think it was very unique where the flavor stood out to me. Chipotle bbq- you can't go wrong with bbq. So this one was the best and most original to typical wings. Overall, I appreciated the service, the fact that they were following pandemic guidelines, and the food being pretty decent too. I'd go back to try their cheese curds and do the $0.25 wings deal for sure! read more

Basic, close to lowest common denominator establishment. Food used to be good but is now below average, and the service was absurd last time I was there with one waitress covering the entire place on a full Friday, and not well.

Wild Goose is nothing to write home about, while they have a decent beer selection. The wings are alright - not the worst but certainly not the most amazing in the city (I wish we were here during the deal, but oh well!). I do love that they have touch tunes, it always makes a stop a bit more exciting! If you stop by for a drink and want an appetizer to share at the table, I would definitely go for the cheese curds. They serve a massive amount and they are some of the best I've had in Chicago. As for atmosphere, it's a bit to large of a space to be "neighborhood bar" but that's what they're going for, and it's alright. read more

This place is always PACKED on the weekends, and it's totally a cool place to lose track of time and just watch a game and enjoy a beer. Thursday's were $4.50 drafts and appetizers, so we got a few of each and sat back to enjoy the night. All of the food was very standard bar food, and the beer list was decent, so we were all satisfied. What was seriously lacking was the service. I honestly think there might have been one server for the whole place. She wasn't able to check in often or bring food / check promptly at ALL. On the night we visited, Dovetail's owner and a few workers happened to also be there serving up beer and chatting with patrons, which was an awesome treat. Pro-tip: they recently started opening at 6:30am on Saturday's and Sunday's for soccer games. Would I be back? Honestly, probably so. It was a good, cheap place to bring a crowd and have everyone easily find something to please their palate. read more
