    Wait staff is super kind and helpful. I am gluten free and there is a huge selection of drinks and items to eat. On top of that I don’t drink alcohol and I was over the moon to see a gluten free AND non-alcoholic beer on the menu. We started with the creamy and tangy artichoke cheddar dip. My boyfriend got the regular fish & chips and I ordered the GF fish & chips. We both loved our entree! The fish was so flakey and tender while the batter was crunchy and airy. Even the tartar sauce and coleslaw hit the spot. You can tell they care about having options for all kinds of dietary needs and food preferences. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer and PLENTY of genuinely delicious options. I really don’t write reviews unless a restaurant has made me feel truly welcomed and satiated. Thank you Lady Gregory crew! We will absolutely come back. 💖

    We had reservations for a party of 14 setup weeks in advance. Upon arrival we learned they had split us up into two separate tables without telling us about it before hand. The whole point of our reservation was to celebrate the joining of two families through marriage and we were completely separate. The service was not good. We told our server we had some people who were extremely hungry. He said let me put in your drink order and I’ll come right back. At least 15 minutes later we had to flag him down after he completely disappeared from the dining area for quite some time. I will say that the food and beverages were delicious, which is a shame when all you can remember is the less than pleasant experience you had. I would personally suggest the ultimate grilled cheese with bacon on parmesan crusted sourdough, and the sangria. Yum!!

    The vibe and the foods were good. The grilled cheese was fantastic, with the perfect crisp from the bacon, some sweetness from the jam and abundant cheese over the whole thing. Shepherds pie is delicious too with the melted cheese over smash potatoes. Skillet cookie and ice cream was the highlight for this meal as the cookie is just so good. However, they require a 2.9% transaction fee if you’re using a card, so consider paying with cash.

    Good food and my server is awesome. But I’m pretty baffled with my $18 check. I know they write clearly for 2.9% card service charge. The total check before tax and tip should come with a $18.52 but I see 18.58. The couple cents shouldn’t matter but it’s insane for machine to make such an error, which later I found out the 6 cents is 0.52 service charge plus the 10.5% of sales tax, round up. The taxed service charge got taxed AGAIN so the total comes $20.58 before tip. What’s worse is the tipping prompt starting with 20%, AFTER TAX. I’m glad I finished my mental accounting in two minutes. These issues on the bill is not happened in a coincidence, so again, I’m baffled that how a restaurant having such great servers has an a$$hole owner. I enjoy my neighborhood, but I don’t want to support businesses like this. For the double taxation of card service charge, I will file a complaint to the regulation.

    Beautifully decorated for the holidays, the inside was bright cheery and clean. So cute! Sweet potato fries & syrup were addicting and everything you want them to be. The buffalo chicken sandwich was super yum. I'd go again with a group of friends for lunch or dinner. I saw high chairs but I personally wouldn't bring kids as the centerpiece of the establishment is a bar, it feels like a "grown up" place, but you could.

    Always loved to stop by for drink and quick bite at Lady Gregory's, very fancy bar, great atmoshpere and boots are very private. Artichoke dip was super delicious with crispy bread! Cheeseburger was moist, salty and fries were crispy. Service is always super friendly and fast. Good spot for people who are in neighbourhood.

    There’s a little something for everyone at Lady Gregory’s. Lots of vegan/vegetarian options. Delicious burgers and sandwiches. Or indulge in proper Irish pub food like Shepherds pie or fish and chips. Summertime Chicago means outdoor seating. Best time of year in the city. Service is prompt and attentive. Inside and outside. The bar itself is beautiful and worth checking out. While you’re there you might as well grab a drink!

    My friend recommended this restaurant and it was phenomenal. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted. We were seated right away. Our waiter was amazing! Ryan took our order for drinks and food. He checked in on us and it was wonderful service. Clean location. I would come back for sure! I ordered the lavender Paloma, take out burger and Mac and cheese. Best burger I’ve had in a really long time. Loved the bacon in the cheese, recommend it all.

    Food was really good. Good service. Wait time was like 25 mins. Good location. Nearby Mediterranean shop/restaurant. Also Jennie’s ice cream is close by too.

    Came for a pre-Christmas lunch. We were sat quickly and taken care of by their wonderful staff. The French onions soup was fantastic. I got the salmon Buddha bowl (no picture) was not what I expected and it was a bit too salty with not as much rice as I would have preferred for a “bowl.” Most everyone else I was with got burgers which were raved about. The cheese grits were the highlight for the table - everyone loved them. The atmosphere is beautiful and the location is near everything you want to be by in Andersonville

    First time to this Restaurant in Andersonville even though I have wanted to go to it ever since it opened. My only regret is that I didn't go sooner. Great Atmosphere, Food is incredible and the service was excellent. Recommend this place.

    This is a great spot in Andersonville. We love the ambience and the Irish flare. You feel like you just arrived in Dublin. The menu has great diversity without being overwhelming and the quality of the food is outstanding. We have long been fans of the artichoke dip and the macaroni and cheese because they are both just yummy in the tummy. The bar is big and open with a really friendly vibe. Caesar salad is smacking delish. The salmon entree is always a winner. Great energy and a great place for a casual yet top notch dining experience.

    It was a beautiful afternoon, and Irish food seemed right. Unfortunately, there was not much Irish fair to pick from. They have an extensive whiskey list, which is great, and my Jameson highball was very good, but I was hungry. I ordered a staple, fish, and chips. Everything was a bit too oily for my taste, but the portion of chips was large.

    Stopped by for dinner and drinks and we were not disappointed. We tried the Scottish Salmon and the Shepherds Pie. Both were great and I wouldn't have been mad about getting a second helping. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall a great experience and will be back soon.

    Beautiful Irish pub with excellent service. Dropped in on St. Patrick's Day for food and drinks and was seated in the library right away. Very lively and friendly atmosphere. For having a full house, the service was excellent. My granddaughter's grilled cheese was surprisingly good. This was an item on the kid's menu made on sourdough. Corned beef was decent. Good portion..the potatoes were pretty bland. Will be back to try out other items on their menu.

    Scrumptious, period. Several visits to this amazing restaurant and never has it been like "average." Everything is awesome, food and drinks; and my favorite dish is roasted rosemary chicken, which is above and beyond. That juicy, well-cooked chicken meat is exquisitely flavourful. Our 1-hour trip to get there is really worth it. The staff is attentive, decoration is inviting, and ambiance is lively. High-quality service and respectful patrons who attend this great place.

    Another great place to eat in Chicago with all the Irish Traditions! Casual and cozy - with friendly and informative staff. Plentiful cocktail, wine and beer offerings and several holiday specials. Each item we tried was delicious and recommended: Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Cheddar Artichoke Dip, Wilde Shepherd's Pie, Salmon, and Fish & Chips!

  • 5/5 Colton B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food. Stopped by for a quick dinner. Shared a shepherds pie and it was the perfect amount for a meal for two for something quick! The deviled eggs as an appetizer were mouth watering making you want more of them. Overall great experience and definately going to be back.

    Ambience was great but food was just okay. My friend and I got wings for a starter and they were the best thing we got. We got the drive thru burger and chicken pot pie for our main course. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area but nothing to go out of your way for.

  • 5/5 Wayne J. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a neighborhood "go to" place in the heart of Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood. With an Irish flair, the space is beautiful inside and has ample outdoor seasonal seating as well. The staff has always been friendly and attentive in my experience and the food is consistently good. I recently went for brunch and we had wings as an appetizer and then the breakfast burger (with no bun) and the chopped salad. All good. And, the bloody marys were tasty as well. This place, open for lunch and dinner daily, is consistently good.

  • 5/5 Kelly F. 2 years ago on Google
    Really cute place! Love the interior, but opted to sit outside since it was such a nice day. We started off with the Artichoke Dip and I had the Shepherd's Pie. Both were really good. Our server was very helpful and you could see him running all over the place helping customers out.
