Uncle Bud's is a hidden gem and hands down one of the most fun bars in the area! Came here for a casual night out and ended up having such a blast. I had the taco salad, which was super fresh and flavorful, and also tried one of their burgers--juicy, perfectly cooked, and seriously satisfying. But the real MVP? A bucket of $2 Bud Light and Coors Light drinks! Yes, $2. Total steal. The vibe here is unmatched. They've got DJ karaoke every Thursday (so fun!), and the whole place just has great energy. Whether you want to belt out a song, chill with friends, or just enjoy some good eats and drinks, this is the spot. They also have a full specialty cocktail menu--everything is under $15, and most are under $10, which is wild considering how good they are. Plus, they're always doing something fun: trivia nights, live music, karaoke--you name it. If you're looking for good food, cheap drinks, and a guaranteed good time, Uncle Bud's is it. Easily the most fun bar around! read more

Went here after seeing the viral Tik tok video, and the food was really good. I ate the birria pizza, elote Mac n cheese, Parmesan garlic wings, and loaded tots. Everything was good, but the wings could've been hotter. The pizza was 10/10 super delicious, and the elote Mac n cheese was surprisingly delicious as well. The ambiance was a regular bar nothing special. I will say some of the decor could make people feel some type of way. For example, there was a sign that said something along the lines of "stand for the anthem and kneel for prayer." The service was not bad but not the best. Our waitress as very nice and helpful to us. I think there was a surge in business due to a vital tik tok video, so she couldn't be super attentive because she was running around constantly to all the tables. read more

One of the best bar food spots I've been to! Uncle Bud's completely blew me away. I had the Elote Mac and Cheese - so unique and packed with flavor, I could've kept eating it forever. The Buffalo and Habanero wings were perfectly crispy and insanely delicious. The Birria pizza - absolutely amazing. We also tried the Loaded Tater Tots and ended on a sweet note with Fried Oreos. If you're looking for flavorful and affordable bar food that hits all the right notes, Uncle Bud's is a must-try! read more

To go Order: sample platter & 12 wings. Everything on the platter was overcooked. The first order of hot wings were good, but the second order barely had bbq sauce on it. Which defeats the purpose of getting your wings tossed in sauce. The main issue here was that everything that came with the platter was overcooked. I spent 50 dollars just for overcooked food. Will not be trying this place again. read more

LOVE this place!!!!!! It's been a minute since we've been in- however, Molly, remembered us- and even my exact order. She even made a few martini suggestions- I went with the French martini she recommended. On point. Service was great- staff, (per usual) friendly- kind and knowledgeable about their menu/ specials. Without a doubt- we will be back!!! read more

Ordered two burgers and a ceasar salad. They did us dirty with their burger sizes, overpriced for 18 dollars all bread..our fries were overcooked and on the "crispier size" very disappointed when we had nothing but high hopes for 3.8 rating.. the Corona was cold read more

Place was super chill on a Tuesday. The bartender Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet with helping us figure out what to order and she refilled our drinks without even asking. We were new here and the regulars were so nice and accommodating. We had the uncle buds trophy burger and the boneless buffalo wings. Neither disappointed. Cannot wait to go back. read more

The food definitely has potential to be good but currently very heavy handed on the salt. I had the patty melt and my husband had the Philly cheese steak. We both agreed that both sandwiches were way to salty. If it wasn't for that it would have been great. read more

So I ended up here, unplanned, met some folks. Got a Mojito, it was awful. Six jumbo party wings - not a fan of big wings. My friend's Alfredo was flavorless, bland chicken too. Wouldn't go back. And I forgot to snap a pic of the wings. read more

Really good food, service is pretty good, fun nights like Trivia Tuesday and Open Mic Wednesdays. Good specials, too!

First of all the service was great. the appetizers were great which was loaded tots, cheese curls and fries. But by the time the burger came , it was super small , we waited 35-40 mins for what I would consider a 2 bite burger. Not sure if it was an off day but for the price I would think it should be a 8oz burger. read more

Went here to try it for lunch. The parking lot and sidewalk has broken glass all over. We went in and the bar looks clean and like every other bar. The bartender was nice. We asked for menus and she gave ua some time to order. We got waters while we decided. We ordered a sampler platter and a burger. The platter was delivered and we were a little taken aback at $19 for a sparse helping of each item. The boneless chicken breast chunks tasted unflavored and were dry. Half the onion petals had no onion in them.. just breading. The burger looked grey. Then we found multiple hairs in the burger when we cut it in half. We gave it a shot because we were told how great the kitchen was here. We left and don't plan to return after what we got from the kitchen. read more

Great place and reasonable prices for food and drinks. They also have a happy hour that is decent read more

Go. Order the birria tacos. Be patient, usually the bartender is running her ass off. Worth the wait. Incredible birria.

I came on a Wednesday night waited for over 30 minutes to get a waitresses to come to my table just to tell me we closed the kitchen. Early we have too many food orders... bad service read more

Excellent food and service. Habanero wings, birria pizza and elote mac & cheese hit the spot. Will be back!

My daughter and I went here and I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was nice in a neighborhood bar type of way. It was well lit and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. We had the birria pizza, bone in buffalo and Parmesan cheese chicken wings as well as French fries. The food was very good, well seasoned, hot and worth the price. The cocktail menu contained a number of choices with cost between $8-$10. My drink was delicious and got me right!!! :-) Our server was really friendly, personable and efficient. She made me feel comfortable as if I was Norm on Cheers. :-) :-) :-) read more

Great food, great service. Music is awesome. Always enjoy our time here. Great place to bring a group.

The waitress was super friendly and quick , but my chicken sandwich was inedible ! Too salty and much smaller then last time I had it from here amd there was a piece cut off . weird read more

If you're on the hunt for a food experience that hits all the right notes--from bold flavors to perfectly crafted drinks--look no further. This spot is serving up wings and birria pizza that'll have your taste buds dancing, and cocktails that are as inventive as they are delicious. read more

While I was eating the shrimp basket I found a black hair in my food as it was reviewed by the bartender and the kitchen staff I decided I would try again and accepted the other they were offering. Then while waiting for my replacement by boyfriend found a piece of hard plastic in his fries from the burger he ordered. The bartender did seem a little bothersome however we gave it a fair chance by having ordered a soup and tater tots prior. We ended up closing out our tab and left. this unfortunately will leave us to not returning to this establishment. read more

Everything could improve!! Wait time is Awful, the waitress was not attentive. We waited over an hour and never got our food!!! Tables were dirty and the waitress was making excuses for the kitchen being slow. Sad place for a restaurant! I'm telling everyone don't go there and I know a lot of people!!! read more

Honestly, this place was so good. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor -- you can tell they actually care about what they're serving. I tried a few different things and everything slapped. The vibe is super chill, the staff was friendly and on top of things, and the whole experience just felt easy and enjoyable. I'm already planning my next visit. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot that hits the spot! read more

Uncle Bud`s in Oak Lawn,Il has a lot of delicious food items on their food menu which is second to none but I am just going to focus on my favorite menu item and that is the delicious bone in wings .This week it will be my 49th straight week of eating them as i head for one year and beyond. They come out extra crispy with just an mouth watering flavor and dipping into the barbeque sauce they provide makes for an unforgettable meal. Check out their menu as the BLT and Chicken sandwiches and hamburgers are also very good.They are open at 11am everyday and they usually have musical entertainment on the weekends. read more

We had a get together recently at Uncle Bud's. We were there to se Ed Hill and the Unusuals. Food was very good, generous portions. It was very crowded, but our waitress checked on us often. read more

Good spot with good bar food and some odd choices that really work. See chicken pot pie soup.

If you're ever in need of catering service, this is the place to go. The food and staff were amazing!!! #BUBlove!! read more

This place sucks, and can you believe that Uncle Bud will host a watch party when Chef Ivan and his amazing birria burger appear Friday, April 19, on WGN, along with a tasting. BS, service is outrageously BAD! The female bartender walks by you like you're not there, her bar back sucks too he only gives drinks to people he know's and ignores everyone else! If these losers can't handle 10 people how the FK are they gonna host a party! The atmosphere sucks too plain boring, you get more excitement at McDonald's. I wouldn't go back to this Dump if they said I could drink for free read more

This place tastes like shit. Service sucks, food tastes terrible and decor is from their grandparents basement. Save your time and money.

Solid hometown bar with the original southside hole-in-the-wall vibes. Birria burger is incredible. Tater kegs are fire as well.

Great service from Kristy really good food I had Mexican shrimp it was delicious cocktails were excellent.

SARAH IS THE BEST!!! she provides great conversation and is a fun bartender to be around. the best ever

Great bar with even better prices good to go and watch a game get some food and have a time Lots of beers on draft as well

Would have loved to give it a try if they were even open! I tried the door on a Monday night at 11pm when it was stated online that they were open till 2:00am. Bartender wouldn't turn around and looked at us through the mirror in front of him. All the signs and lights were on but the doors were closed read more

WOW! As I type this I am shoving steak bites into my face, AMAZING, the onion petals are FANTASTIC. The beer is cold and there is plenty of it, Jess makes sure you are well taken care of and is quick to recommend trying something new. I want to say more but I don't want word getting out on this hidden treasure! Of you are in Oak Lawn stop in, grab a burger and a beer. Bet you aren't disappointed read more

Incredible food and service. Someone is at your table right away to take your order. And the tacos are incredible. So are the tater tots. I've never had anything I didn't like. read more
