Not sure why the reviews are so high. Foodwise, maybe my worst lunch ever, 0 stars. My wife took one bite of the German potato... soup and quit, incredibly salty and tiny portion. I got the fish and chips and attached a picture of the fish. Overcooked, dry,and terrible. Super disappointing. I hate to waste food, but I couldn't eat it. Even the side of fries we ordered were bad,burnt and shriveled. Surprised and sad because it was a rare lunch date. The server was nice though and comped the soup. Wedidn't asked for anything, but I wanted to leave this review because it would have helped me avoid this mistake. Read more

Went twice in one day. Drinks were good. Food was also good. Had the poutine and it was delicious . The burrata was also good. I... drank the house margarita with tajin rim. My husband had a Basil Hayden old fashioned and he like that as well. Read more

I don’t write a ton of restaurant reviews but when it’s this good pics and a review are needed. Came here last minute after... plans fell through and it was so good!! The pricing is relatively cheap and what you’d expect at a bar. The food- phenomenal!Didn’t just taste like bar food. I have the chicken sandwich and my boyfriend had the prime rib sandwich. We both loved whatwe ordered. I’m very picky when it comes to chicken sandwiches and this has to be in my list of top three I’ve had inChicago. I also love coleslaw and the coleslaw was very rich and creamy. The fries were also great as they weren’t salty andjust right. My boyfriend said he really like the prime rib sandwich also. I’d absolutely recommend this place in a heartbeatand will be back Read more

The food and staff were really great. The best part was the mashed potatoes, and the worse part was my boyfriend eating half of... my cheesecake. Definitely a great place with a really nice atmosphere. Lots of televisions, high and low tables, and seatingsfor small groups as well as a date. As for the drinks, unfortunately I'm not a drinker, but there was quite a large selectionto choose from - so there's no worries. Read more

Second, do NOT walk out of there without their tres leches… your palate will thankyou! Their brunch is amazing!!!! Novel, delish and oh very creative butters to go with freshly baked bread! Mmmm Heaven ! Nowtop that with unlimited mimosas! Can this get any better ? Are you on your way there?

Great West Loop Tavern. Jose held its opening together during the pandemic and still going strong! Had the Tuna and Red Velvet... cake, would have preferred the cake with out the sauce dribbles… People & animal friendly, good tap beer selection, menuvariety. Different seating areas in & outside, small bar area downstairs. Accessible rest area. Read more
