- CCharlesChicago / Illinois •8 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoFood was very good. Service was excellent. The only problem was had was the water. It tasted awful. When we spoke to the server about it, he acknowledged that they were aware of the problem and that it was a city issue. He then offered us bottled water. It would have been better if that had simply been provided from the start rather than waiting until we complained.More infoBaxters American GrillePrice: Expensive• American• Bloomington / Normal•4.5
