"Friendly place. The bartenders were pretty attentive for an airport bar. The prices aren't friendly though. $45 for two beers and a burger. The burger was really good. The brownie with ice cream wasn't worth the $10 price. Overall it was a decent place to eat and wait for my flight"

"It was with no big expectations that I entered this fine establishment. To my great surprise the burger was magnificent, the service was prompt and the pour was "appropriate". This is a place, so do i believe, you don't want to miss out when on a flight from Chicago O'Hare!"

"This was our second time stopping in here while waiting for our flight. This time we only got drinks, but we ate there the first time. I recall our meal was good, but spendy. I can say the same This time about the drinks. They were good and made as expected. However the price is definitely outrageous! Our bartender was very nice and friendly! She even offered to fill up my water bottle for me! I appreciated that a lot! The fun feature they offer is drinks to go as well! We had one drink while sitting there and took a second to have on the plane! A fun option to have! The only dinged here are the prices. Otherwise it's a great spot to grab a drink and bite to eat while waiting for or getting off a flight!"

"food is actually not bad, it comes in really good portions, i had the nachos, and i could not finish them way too much food, the service was amazing, very friendly staff always checking on you making sure everything is okay."

"Good array of menu items, pricing is what'd you expect at an airport. The fries were well seasoned and chicken sandwich was ok."

"Very friendly service and very accessible right past security. Putting pricing on your food but not your drink menu is tacky. $24 for a Bloody Mary is a 50% up charge from downtown prices."
