Love the place. Have a great time every time. The bartender Craig is a hottie (OUCH). The staff is cool, the food is great, and the place is clean. I hate a dirty bar. Never had a bad time their, only the next morning after the great martinis(Maybe a few to many, but worth $5).

I saw this place on Check Please. I went to check it out with my brother, sister and nephews. The kids loved the burgers. The mac-n-cheese is to die for. I will definately be back for the food, and the bloody mary's were good too. I highly recommend this resturant.

Named, presumably, for its size, the Mathbox is a place to go early if you want to sit. All the seats are at the bar (during the summer there are tables outdoors, but the interior is awesome and it's dangerous drinking a manhatten from a tilting, wobbly, table) in this tiny, wedge-shaped place.
Now I will make a bold claim:
The Matchbox is the best place for cocktails in the city of Chicago.
Admittedly, there are many swanky joints serving martinis that I've never had the cash or the shoes or the desire to try out; but I'll bet you that the Matchbox will give them a run for their money.
Their liquor selection is outstanding. I rarely have the opportunity to sit at a bar and wear out the bartender's ear asking "what's that?" "what's that?" "what's that?" Luckily, the bartenders here are outstanding and friendly and, when it isn't really busy, happy to chat.
The care that they put into their drinks is wonderful. A manhatten comes with black cherries that appear to be jarred by hand. A margharita comes with a dusting of powdered sugar and a long, knotted, lime peel sitting across the top of the glass.
The first time we went there, we decided to splurge. We each had 3 cocktails ("we" denoting 2 people, for a total of 6 cocktails), with call liquors. Each time, we got the whole contents of the shaker. After three, we gritted our teeth and asked for the check, expecting to stay in for the rest of the week. The bill came to a whopping... $36? We were stunned.

We ate at Jacks before a Blueman Group performance and were so pleased with our experience. The service was quick, friendly and attentive. We ordered the steak and fries (fries were to die for!), salmon and the "pork tasting." All were prepared and presented wonderfully and in perfect portions. The pork and salmon were served with chutneys that were just out of this world! For desert we had the bananas foster and the ice cream pie. My son wouldn't give up any of the bananas foster so I presume it was good and the ice cream pie was just amazing. I would certainly return to Jacks on our next visit to Chicago.
Pros: Fantastic food and service
Cons: Could be brighter inside

There are no pictures on the menus, and the Irish do have food other than american pub food. Irish bistro is one of my favorite spots on Lincoln. Pork chop is always cooked as I like it med rare, the beef in the beef stew was tender and pliable. The beer list is extensive, and service always prompt, kind, ands professional. Snvolt has never been to this fine establishment as he claims there are pictures on the menus, take it from a sox fan and south side Irish this place is great.
Pros: great food, excellent beer, great service
Cons: they're cub fans

Awesome drink list! Me and a few of my friends had a great night out at bad dog. The server was nice and took care of us well, he even bought us a round! We all split the green beans with lime sauce and the hummus. All the food that passed by our table looked great too! We'll be back soon!

We have been going to Cesar's almost every Friday night for 6 years and NEVER had a bad experience. The margaritas are by far the best anywhere! They do get quite busy and try to make sure that everyone that wants to eat eventually gets a table. Cesar is there most nights and has never been rude about asking anyone to move to the bar, most of the time he offer something for your trouble. Try the Broadway location, it's usually not as crowded.
Pros: margaritas, Cesar
Cons: can be crowded, parking

My boyfriend and I took his brother who was visiting from out of town. We had the best time ever, he was impressed and said there were no brazilian stake houses like that in California. Food, ambiance, and drinks were amazing and worth the price! The one con is it was packed but as busy as it was they still managed to give great service!
Pros: beautiful, excellent service
Cons: busy
