E RuizDecember 27, 2014Falafa burger was excellent!! The hummus and dill pickles are so tasty in the burger. The soup blew me away. Spinach and artichoke is the way to go. Service is top notch !Upvote5Downvote
nemo sergesFebruary 2, 2017They have a grilled cheese sandwich that's 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 so good. And a pretty big selection of food whether you want a quick bite or a bigger meal. My friends and I usually split the buffalo fries.Upvote3Downvote
Derek KucyndaOctober 19, 2012I'd skip the breakfast/brunch here. But please do get that lunch/dinner! The Castro is a Cubano on top of a steak burger!! There's sandwiches with Mac'n'Cheese on it! And Tater Tots Nom Nom!Upvote2Downvote

Excellent daily specials. Draft of the month. Wouldn't recommend for breakfast but otherwise is solid. Love the fish and chips!Upvote1Downvote
The winter classic burger is ridiculously good. If you want buffalo fries just ask for fries with buffalo sauce on the side to avoid sogginessUpvote1Downvote- L KMay 6, 2015$2 Taco Tuesdays! The "Big Plates" come with 4 tacos...so probably go with 4 tacos. Also a large whiskey selection.Upvote1Downvote

Sachin AgarwalSeptember 30, 2011Ask for the whisky of the month. It'll be cheap - $5 for tippy top shelf. And get it on the rocks. You'll see why they named the place the way they did.Upvote1Downvote
The burgers are great but if its Tuesday, do the Taco special! Nom Nom.Upvote2Downvote
Jared HatchJanuary 31, 2011DEEP FRIED SNICKERS BAR. Followed by BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fried egg. Followed by 4$ beer specials. No better place to wear Prada work boots in boystown on a Wednesday night.

Alex WoolstonJuly 3, 2012Plan ahead. Add 25 mins to receive your wings after ordering. The beer won't be very cold and unfortunately you should consider bringing your own ranch. Great wings though. It's a mixed review...Upvote3Downvote

Good food. Service is uneven. Avoid during festival weekends!UpvoteDownvote- Jay Cutler Omelette (Denver style) and a boss hog bloody mary. Saturday morning specialty.UpvoteDownvote
The $10 Mimosa pitchers on Saturday and Sunday are so worth it.Upvote4Downvote
