Good choice for food if you're looking for a bite to eat at Navy Pier. The drinks were good, I recommend their holiday drink the Grinch. I got the grilled fish tacos, which were ok. They were seasoned well, but a bit salty. Everyone else enjoyed their burgers. Service was great, the waitress was always attentive. They even remade a burger when it arrived with no bacon.

My husband and I have always wanted to visit Margaritaville and we finally did it when we visited Navy Pier recently! We went on a weekend and although there was a long line for the take away margaritas, we immediately got seats for dine in. The waitress was very kind to suggest vegetarian substitutions for the loaded nachos and pasta. Both the dishes were tasty and my god, the portion size is very huge. We also tried a side of onion rings. The margaritas that this place is super famous for, did not disappoint.. they were strong and tasty. Super happy that we checked this off our list!

Tonight was ladies night. We went downtown and enjoyed the first series of the tree lighting made our way over to Navy Pier but we missed the ferris wheel:-(. Margaritaville was very good our waiter was awesome she helped us figure out what drinks to buy what food was best food to eat that she might have recommended overall it was a great place. I have the triple bundle which came with the chicken strips the spinach artichoke dip that was awesome and these chicken egg rolls bomb I like to put guacamole and Ranch trust me you'll love it.

Came here for a corporate event and was amazed at the excellent food, drink and service! Everything was done over-the-top and we all had a wonderful time getting to know one another. A few steps away from the beautiful Lake Michigan, skyline, Navy Pier rides, shops and fireworks on Saturday night!

Ordered a Cheddar BBQ bacon burger and sleigh ride drink. Was happy with everything except the Chicago prices.

If you want the true feel of "Margaritaville," albeit a fictional place, the room with the sit-down bar is the place to be. From the painted ceiling to the little touches on the shelves and signage, this room gives the feel of the tropics.
The bartender was wonderful. She made the best margarita on the rocks that I've had in quite some time. She was pleasant and jovial but kept respect for privacy.
The food was surprisingly excellent, much better than the first time I ate here (pre-pandemic). Moist Mahi was perfectly seasoned and topped with a mango-cream sauce that made for a tasty set of three tacos accompanied by possibly the best rice and beans side I've had. The key lime pie to top off the meal was excellent!
And, of course, the music and videos - all non-stop Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer Band - add to the perfect trip to a favorite, fictional place.
For real fans, the bar area is a must. For those who just want some good food, anywhere (including al fresco dining) in the Chicago tropical establishment will do.

Really 4.5, a bit of a wait as to be expected for it's location. The staff were extremely accommodating to our special needs. Good food good drinks and Jimmy, what more do you need. Strongly recommend.

I loved this place!
1. Service is so beautiful, people are always smiling and very attentive to you. I went alone and had my lunch over there and it was so nice to see the barman with all that energy preparing cocktails here and there with an authentic simile! What a great lunch experience!
2. You can find salads here, or hamburgers. I had the Chicken Cesar salad and it was delicious!
3. The music and atmosphere is so accurate, at least for me.

My time in paradise (Margaritaville) was magical. We dined on the finest aviation maps available, we saw Tiki Santa living it up in the bar on Christmas Island, and my favorite part was when the announcements had scared us into believing the volcano in paradise (Margaritaville) was going to explode but it just had too many margaritas and needed to burp. Cheyanne was a most excellent guide in paradise (Margaritaville). 10/10 will love spending time in Jimmy Buffet's paradise (Margaritaville) again.

If you are looking for having a delicious drinks while you eat, this is the first place to look at in Navy Pier.
It was busy here, because all the restaurants in Navy Pier are busy as always. Good thing we got a table but it was 30 to 45 mins wait. Bar Food is good. Our waitress was awesome. I forgot to ask for her name but she was good and attentive.

We dropped in for a quick drink and ended up ordering a Cesar salad and fries. Food came out quickly and was spot on. They kept in mind that my husband was vegan. Chey was great!

Well I can tell you this I am sitting here waiting on our food. Yes you indeed waste away at margaritaville because after a 40 minute wait for a table and then another 15 minutes before server even acknowledges our table order drinks and appitizers. 10 minutes later server in training brings us water 5 minutes after that the mountain due that was ordered. Another 20 minutes goes by oh our server realized she never took our entre order at this point we decline just want appitizers then a push for dessert at this point we have been here almost 2 hours and we just don t have that kind of time.. it was truly a once in a lifetime experience for sure we will never be back. Oh I forgot to mention they brought us the wrong food as well which added more time. Don't understand why you are training a new server at the navy pier dinner time on Saturday during the voice auditions. Smh I could have skipped the 3 hour drive and got shitty service at McDonalds at least that would have only taken up 12 minutes of my time.

Although our waiter was 'ok', the overall service was terrible and when we walked in the hostess asked the barman if we could sit in the bar area and he said "NO" we felt like there was an atmosphere between them we had walked in to. The whole place in general felt very strained and not comfortable at all.
When we did receive our food, which was not quite right but they did fix, we were not checked on once until they brought the check and then they asked 5 times if the check was ready. Overall, not a good experience and we will not be going again.

We had an awesome lunch at Margaritaville! The spinach dip was on point, some of the best I’ve had! The Southwestern Salad was delicious and my husbands double Cheeseburger in Paradise was quite tasty. Jessica was our server and did a fine job for just starting at Margaritaville, we always had everything we needed. Good job guys, Fins Up!
Amber Finnegan
I was not at all pleased with the service my husband and I received here...upon entry, there were plenty of tables available in the main room but the host chose to put us in the back room without even asking where we would like to sit. Once seated, we were greeted by our waitress that said she would be right with us...about 10mins later we placed our drink and food order (because we had more than enough time to decide on both!)...only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the drinks were tasty and the music was good...Our drinks were empty for some time and we had to ask for another round...I then had to ask for the check and about 10mins went by again...she walked by and said to herself that she forgot our check...she then went to get it and returned immediately...not enough wait staff for the volume of people and equipment (automatic sliding glass door) did not work and had to be manually opened by customers. There was no communication for seating. People were walking in the back room and being told they had to walk around to the front of the restaurant to be seated by the host-causing the customers to have to walk through this broken “automatic” door...we won’t be back again and won’t be recommending this place to anyone

We were instructed by the hostess to get our own drinks from the inside bar because the server was too busy to wait on us outside (we were told her section was too large). Then we were given attitude by the server for not ordering our drinks through her. Serve continued to be rude for our entire meal. Drinks and food were good but service was awful!
Melissa Firek Trakes
The food was AWFUL. Everything tasted like it came directly from a box or bag. The gratuity was included, which I get because we had a party of 8, but our waitress did NOT deserve the 18% tip at all. Came to our table only with food, didn't refill drinks and even short-changed us when we paid cash for the bill. Not a chance we'd ever come back here.
Jill Foster-Koch
The water view is the only thing it had going for it. Drinks were made incorrectly, no Margaritaville store to shop at unless you consider two shirts and a few cups on the wall you can purchase. Staff was friendly. Very cramped. Worst Margaritaville I've been to.
Carrie Bigelow-Nohel
We visited this establishment last night and waited 25 minutes for our drinks. Once we placed our order (after waiting for our waitress another 10 minutes and another 15 minutes for our food) she arrived with half of our appetizers a wilted mushy salad and fish dinner instead of fish tacos. When we told her it was not what we ordered she tried talking us into keeping the fish dinner instead of fixing the mistake. Worst meal I’ve ever had and to believe it cost us $90.

I'm Soglad they have gluten free choices on their menu. Great food and fun music playing all the time!

We ate at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Bar and Grill at Navy Pier in Chicago. The service was extremely poor. We were out a sisters outing one being from Missouri and one being from Arizona and myself. The waitress was not friendly at all. We had to get up and ask for refills and waited over 10
minutes to get our bill and finally had to get up and ask another waitress to get out check so we could leave.
Spent $85.00 and will never go back !!

A friend and I went on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy, a lot of empty tables. This should have been our first clue something was wrong. After we were sat our server took our drink order. These actually came out pretty fast. She then took our food order which included an appetizer trio and two entrees. After about 10-15 minutes she came back and said they were out of the spinach dip but they could substitute a small order of nachos for our appetizer. We said ok, no big deal. Another 15-20 minutes of waiting and some other server brought out our entrees. We asked her about our appetizer and she said she didn't even know we had ordered an appetizer but she would check. We began eating our meals and maybe another 10-15 minutes our original server comes back and asks if we still want our appetizer. We both said yes. Another 15 minutes and she brings out a full size nacho, not what we ordered. She then states they lost our ticket but are getting the rest of our appetizer trio together. The other server who brought out our meals walks by and shakes her head stating she doesn't know what they are doing in the kitchen. By this time we have finished our meals. Our server never asked if they were good or if we needed anything. Finally another 15 minutes goes by and the original appetizer comes out. By this time we were ready to leave . We ate maybe 1/4 of the appetizer and had her box up the rest. Another long wait to get our bill. Overall the service was horrible and I would not recommend going here unless you enjoy waiting.

Our server Tara was great. She was very personable and did a great job. The volcano nachos were huge. They were good but should have more chili for the amount. They key lime pie was amazing. I would definitely come back.
Keri Ford
The worst margarita I have ever had :( literally drank salt through the straw over and over.
Charlene Sisson-Hoscheid
The wait for food took quite a long time because they were quite busy but the food was excellent and very healthy portions. The wait staff was great even the young lady who was training
