- CcheirVIPNew York City •26 reviews5.0Dined todayAriel was a great server. Overall we loved the soul rolls. fried pickles, fried fish/chicken/shrimp platter, the turkey tips and links, greens, mac n cheese, and baked beans. The drinks were great too the only complaint would be our grilled 1/2 bbq chicken was very dry.More infoWilma's Famous BBQ & TavernPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• River North (Chicago)•4.2
- DDanVIPChicago / Illinois •104 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoEven with the reservation we expected something of a wait on a holiday weekend, but no, we had our choice of a table or booth and were taken to a comfortable spot right away. We were pretty sure what we were going to order, but s[potted the barbecued sweet potato on the menu and decided to try that as well. What we were expecting was better even than expectations and that sweet potato, though massive, was soft and sweet and highly addictive. Service was right on top of everything, and the whole meal experience was amazing. All stars all around!More infoWeber Grill - ChicagoPrice: Moderate• American• River North (Chicago)•4.5
- AAnthonyVIPDallas - Fort Worth •15 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoService was excellent… almost as excellent as the CORNBREAD!! Being from the south I know what good cornbread should taste like and never did I think I’d have the best cornbread I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant/bar in downtown Chicago. The turkey and bacon sandwich was great too but the star if my visit was the cornbread. Lots of TVs to watch the game and lots of good food to go with it. This is a must visit if you’re in the area. I’m already planning my return. Great job!More infoWelcome to the Farm- ChicagoPrice: Moderate• American• River North (Chicago)•4.4
