10’s across the board! been coming for years. vibes are always great. the sidewalk seating is great, off chicago ave so not a lot of traffic. bartenders and servers always great and friendly. the mussels…WOW. that plate alone will get this place a 5-star review. seriously get the mussels. the rest of the menu isn’t that extensive but who cares because the mussels are the best.
Long running classic Chicago bar & grill that remains for a reason. Interior alone worth a look. The food options are just the right number & variety. All four dishes we had were spot on prepared and portioned. The drinks are real. The fuzz is zero. Always happy at Truman's.
Food was pretty good we got the streak sandwich and fish and chips which was a lent special. Atmosphere is nice. The place was busy and not enough staff so service was slow. And we got charged an extra $3 to add onions to our sandwich which I thought was weird. Who charges $3 for onions?
The mussels and pretzels were BANGIN’! Generous portions, great quality. Nice tap list and my gin & tonic was well done. The place is always packed too which is fun. The atmosphere is outdated and kind of bland, but I don’t care because this place is a Chicago classic and I don’t always want to be at the newest hipster, gentrified, contrived, trendy bar.
Nothing wrong with a humble Chicago pub. Definitely one of the most slept-on spots on Chicago Ave!
Things haven't changed. Tuman's is still a great late night bar with an underated menu. Charcuterie platter served with some great sweet and savory pairings. The red wine cheese is spectacular. Need something from the grill? Try the Calamari, wonderfully charred and perfectly cooked on a bed of greens, ask for the pesto on the side. Kids of all ages love the tomato bisque and grilled cheese. Truly outstanding.
Sarah was awesome and had the best recommendations. I regret not getting the Roasted Amish Chicken, but the Amish Chicken tenders were great.
Definitely try the spicy margarita! The jalapeno was smooth and flavorful, but the habanero was a hit!
Jacqueline was amazzzzzing holy smokes she knew exactly what we wanted she was such a good girl she had excellent manners and she even was down to hang out for a second. I feel like this waitress went over the top for us. I will gladly come back here, and I will bring all my friends.
One of the best bars in Chicago. Everyone should check out this classic neighborhood bar.
Such a great local staple. No frills bar and grill. The Cuban sandwich is strangely one of the best in the city and you can never go wrong with a burger. The service can be snippy about seating, especially in the summer but it’s still worth it. Dog friendly patio!
Been in the neighborhood since 2022 and this Tavern is the best! Amazing food, mussels are soooo good! Love the staff and the atmosphere.
