Cubs Bar and Grill

Traveling every week through O’Hare I eat breakfast at this establishment whenever I get the chance. I used to recommend them as the best breakfast in town! The important part of that phrase is used to! Today I had several hours to squander in the airport but wasn’t planning on spending my day waiting for service and my order after finally being able to order it. Since I have had better here I’ll consider trying them again if I ever get to eat my food. Placed order over 45 minutes ago and still waiting.
After waiting an hour and seeing other people all around me getting their food I gave up left a couple dollars for my coffee and walked out to not return. Sad day since the Western Omelet was good!

Would’ve stayed and had a few drinks but the menu doesn’t list prices for the beer, wine, or cocktails and when I asked for the prices the server said «I don’t know and I don’t care»… guess I’ll get a drink somewhere else?

For an airport meal my experience here was good! The breakfast options offer hearty servings that won’t leave you hungry. I asked for a modified omelet and they were happy to oblige (tho I must note– there was barely anyone here at the time so it must have been easy to do)
I got the vegetable omelet and it came with toast and homefries (potatoes). The omelet filled up half a plate and was tasty. The price was definitely reasonable and left me feeling ready to take on the second half of my travel day. If I pass though O’Hare again, I’d come back.
On a green note– The straw was compostable! I was so happy to see this because I usually don’t like to take plastic straws, they feel like a waste.
I’ve noticed a lot of comments about the service in the other reviews. To touch on that I’d say that service was fine. No complaints here. When dining at a high volume place in the airport you can’t expect perfection.

Sat for 10 minutes and no one ever stopped by. So got up and left. Don’t waste your time.

Will not be back.
While traveling to San Francisco, I had the pleasure of enjoying an 8 hour layover in O’Hare. Not the worst bit of news since it is Packer GameDay. A colleague and I were looking for a place to watch the game and enjoy our lengthy layover with some lunch and drinks throughout not only the game, but the rest of our layover.
About an hour into our visit, we were discussing lunch and beer options when we were asked by our waitress to order now or leave. We stated that we were not ready to order at that time, but would be staying to hopefully catch the Packer game and purchase lunch and beer throughout the afternoon. We were told that if we were not going to order at that time that we would need to leave as they «need the tables» (There were about 20+ open tables at this time). We kindly got up, left, and are now spending our money elsewhere.
Echoing the statements of many of their reviews: Terrible Service, Extremely Rude — please spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

We ordered scotch &water. There was so little scotch the drink was clear. The 8.49 price didn’t make it taste any better. Never again!

Located inside the Chicago O’Hare airport and is probably one of the better places to grab a hot meal. They were airing the FIFA cup games and it looked like a really chill place to be waiting for a flight. I got a bison burger! Yum, I don’t see that available in many places. It was delicious and hit the right spot. The fries were meh.
I tried to order a soup appetizer too but the server, who was this older man warned me that it was a large order and implied that I shouldn’t order it. I guess I kind of look like someone that can’t eat that much. In retrospect, I probably should have ordered the soup.
For an airport meal, it wasn’t too bad. I’d go back again for their bison burger.

Stopped in for some food between flights today. The usual, seat yourself which in this place means maybe someone will recognize you want order and actually ask you if they can help you. Food is marginal for the price but in an airport OK. Service is horrid, awful, the worst. Sat for ten minutes today, had to get my own menu and not one single waiter or waitress stopped by to ask if I wanted to order. There were a total of five people that just looked at me walked by and never said a word. I walked out and found something else. Only go to this dump if you want to waste money and take a long time to do it.

Nasty food. I has the buffalo wings and fries. Way too salty and mushy too. Like crispy and then batter is all mushy. Watery blue cheese dressing and trailer park waitress. My expectations weren’t high but my grade school served better fare

A decent place to go to for a drink! Service and ambiance were suprisingly good.

Left a $ 1 tip on a 30 dollar bill. Got there around 9 pm and there was about 5 tables with customers. This lady waitress messed up my order, did not fill my water not once during the hour I spent there, did not respond to my multiple thank-you’s n simply walked away everytime.
I dropped 30+ bux in that place and I wouldn’t be this upset if at least their food would have been good. The buffalo chicken sandwich was stale and soggy and their spinach salad was flavorless n the opposite of fresh. If you have the money to spend here, do yourself a favor and go to chillis down the gate hall.

Nice alternative to waiting to eat at Chili’s or Wolfgang Puck’s when waiting on a flight in Terminal 3. They have a variety of Summit beers to save you from the average tap swill. Recommend the Chicken Peach Panini sandwich; the first bite immediately brought me back to summers as a kid when we’d cook canned peach or apple pie filling in between two pieces of white bread over a campfire using those little cast iron pie makers. The bartendar was attentive and getting a beer and food was a quick process (as once would hope for in an airport).

I could’ve swore the waitress gave me the finger.
I only ended up here during my layover from Vegas to Michigan and I was completely hungry and I wanted to check out the latest Tim Tebow segment on Sportscenter. So I just saw this place and took a seat.
I originally had an older gentleman who gave me a menu, but then a couple minutes later a pretty distraught woman in her mid 20’s just seemed to be disgusted by my presence in this facility ended up being my waitress. I don’t think she spoke English well, or just didn’t want to bother helping me out with an order, but I ended up paying $ 10 for 3 pieces of french toast and some fruit. The service was insanely slow and I literally watched my whole Tim Tebow 13 minute segment without getting any attention from the waitress in a near empty restaurant.
I won’t be coming here ever again, just thinking about this place makes me grinds my gears.
This wasn’t even that much of a review, but rather a rant. Eff that woman and the horse she rode in on.

Looks better from a distance. Had some time to kill and hungry and didn’t want a fast food option. Bar keep was on older fella and a bit grumpy. I don’t do grumpy and actually asked him why he was grumpy and that was the last thing he ever thought would come out of his mouth. His attitude changed after that. I have issue with restaurants/​bars who service guests that they most likely will never ever see again. The service level really seems to drop to that of the Department of Motor Vehicle.
Anywho, I digress. Ordered a burger and asked for a better option than a starch and grumpy suggested a Caesar salad which was nice. Salad came out in like 90 seconds which was nice but wasn’t tossed which I don’t like. Burger was decent and bun decent as well, but nothing to write home about.
Meal sufficed but a burger, beer and glass of wine for near $ 40. Eh, your in an airport and like complaining about an $ 8 beer at a NFL game — it is what it is.

In Terminal 3, my wife and were deciding between Chili’s and O’Hare. We opted for O’Hare. We sat down at a nice table next to the window and reminisced about our 2 ½ day trip to Chicago. (Awesome) I ordered a Budweiser to start while we ordered and chatted.
I ordered the chicken and pear panini and a side Caesar instead of the fries and she didn’t charge me extra. Plus one. Our server was super nice and checked on us often. My wife got the vegetable soup.
After about ten minutes they came out and I quickly chomped on the pickle spear. Man, I love pickles, good stuff. The Caesar wasn’t too goopy with dressing and had plenty on shredded Parmesan on top. It was iceberg lettuce, but what are you gonna do?
My panini was lightly buttered on each side and had plenty of chicken and the pear flavor was pleasant, not overwhelming, but I could tell it was there. Nice size sandwich that filled me up since I had one McDonald’s parfait in the morning and a can of sardines I had left over from Walgreen’s for breakfast. About 300 total calories and we walked about 5 miles since we had breakfast, and after 40 minutes on the elliptical machine at the hotel, so I was running on fumes and getting sleepy from lack of calories.
I ordered a second Bud to compliment the second half of my sandwich and it made for a great airport lunch. Very relaxing and overall a great lunch.
My wife loved her vegetable soup bowl, it was pretty big for $ 5. For the two of us, it was $ 41 for 2 big beers, my sandwich, and the soup and tip, and tax. Not bad for an airport lunch away from the hoi polloi while we waited for our flight.
On a side note, American Airlines sucks. We arrived 2 hours early and there was a flight leaving when we got there in a half an hour that would have gotten us home 1 ½ hours early and they wouldn’t even let us wait to see if the flight was full and we could sit in 2 extra seats if they had them. The gate attendant didn’t want anything to do with us to help us out. They wanted $ 50 a piece just to get on the earlier flight. So you had extra spots obviously, but we couldn’t wait around on standby? Man they suck.
I would hit this place again, but we did notice a Macaroni Grill closer to the gate we would have gone to if we had known about it.

I fly in and out of O’hare quite a bit and always find myself killing time at the O’Hare Bar & Grill. It’s a nice open restaurant. If you get a table by the window you can watch the planes go in and out & get loaded. It’s always so refreshing to see baggage handlers tossing around luggage like it’s a football, warms my heart really. The service is always very quick and the bar & grill. On my last trip this week I got the jumbo shrimp cocktail and the shrimp were huge and very fresh & good. This is prime spot also for people watching, which I’m quite a fan of. «Oh she looks like she’s in a hurry» «what in the he! is he thinking wearing those»…come on I know i’m not the only one. Ok so back to the Bar & Grill. The food is really good, typical pub fare for the most part. The prices are «eh», not the cheapest but they’re for sure reasonable for being in an airport. I’d recommend this to anyone and I’m sure I’ll be back soon.

There was a point between my first drink and my food where I think the server just forgot about me. It was about 15 minutes, that’s pretty unacceptable. I saw her look at me, do the «oh shit» look, and go to the kitchen window and ask where my panini was. It magically appeared right after that.
Sandwich was dismal, sounded good (chicken with pears), but it definitely had two halves of a bartlett pear from a can squished in (not even sliced). The chicken was dry and overspiced. Fries were ok.
For $ 15 for a sandwich, fries and coke, it’s not in the «cheap eats» category.
Overall, pretty disappointing food, and absolutely unacceptable service.

Food and service are average, the TVs are terrible (it’s 2010, upgrade to flat-​panels already) and there are no pa speakers so you can’t hear gate announcements. Poor planning on O’Hare Bar and Grill’s part as well as American Airlines (the worst airline on the planet, by the way).
I have yet to find a stellar meal at any airport… my search continues.

Long layover and opted for lunch here vs. one of the many chains available.
Tried the greek salad, and was a first to have one with canned black olives vs. kalamata.
I had planned to spend some time after my salad with a couple beers but was told by the waitress that she had to clock out and could I please finish up… I would suggest looking elsewhere for a beer and a bite.

For an airport restaurant this fills a niche. A very simple breakfast menu of about 8 omelets. Omelets about $ 8-​$ 10.
Weak coffee. Tables and seating with a real waiter.
All eggs come with potatoes. No rye toast, just wheat or white.
Polish immigrant waiter was kind to but he was half-​asleep.
$ 36 for 3 people with two coffees, after tax but before tip.
