Mac's Wood Grilled

I have been wanting to try this place out for a while now, simply the building it is housed in has the pedigree of being the chicago brewery of Schlitz, and it does have interesting external look to it, and the interior is set up like a tavern with sport bar accents, mainly due to the number of television playing just about every sports game currently being played. The staff was friendly, though being a tavern type establishment it may or may not take a little while to get service, usually not a big deal I would say, though they may have slightly under staffed at the time I went. I usually go into locations like this as a walk in and get my food to go, I really don't like ordering online, I tend to be more of spur the moment type of guy. That being the case I entered, got the attention of one of the servers, as I sat down at the end of the bar that was open, and made my intentions clear of what I wanted. After a few minutes he got back to me and I ordered Daddy Mac's burger, and just for good measure I added in an order of their Bacon Cheese Fries. I was told the wait would be about 20 minutes. I was totally fine with that, it gave me a bit of time to take in the atmosphere. The actual wait time I would say was between 10-15 minutes, so a little under his estimate. The Daddy Mac's Burger, was good, enough for a dinner for two if you cut it in half. Though I did find the pickles's garlic flavor a bit over powering though, and according to menu on their website it was supposed to have a sesame seed bun, mine just was potato bun. Neither of these took away from the experience. The Bacon Cheese fries was excellent, the cheddar cheese sauce was of very good quality, and didn't taste overly processed, which is always a welcome fact. All in all a pleasant experience.

Dope time! Stopped in after the AEW event @ the United Center to see my good friend. Our bartender was Bob. Awesome dude. We chopped it up for about 2 hrs on just about everything. Sports, ppl he knows, bars in the area etc. Drink are reasonable and the food is good too. Try the Jerk chickens (spicy) and the loaded fries. Love it. Will visit again soon.

Was simply asking over the phone if it’s busy on Sunday’s, as I noticed there are no reservations and the lady who picked up was extremely sarcastic and rude!! Had the audacity to say, “I don’t have a crystal ball” and just belittling of a genuine question. Won’t be coming in solely for that. I’ve heard from numerous friends/family the customer service is God-awful as well and now I can say so as well. A shame.
