    Deja Brew Bar & Grill is a fantastic restaurant that offers a unique blend of delicious food and a great atmosphere. Located in the heart of Oak Lawn, this restaurant is a great spot to visit for anyone looking for a tasty meal or a night out with friends. The menu is diverse and offers something for everyone. Whether you're in the mood for a classic burger or some tasty appetizers to share with friends, you're sure to find something you'll love here. One of the standout dishes on their menu for me was their steak street tacos. They were absolutely delicious! The dish was packed with flavor and had just the right amount of spice to give it a little kick. The steak used was cooked right and the addition of fresh diced onions and cilantro gave the dish a burst of freshness and the side of chips added a wonderful crunch. The tortillas had a soft and slightly chewy texture that complemented the steak filling perfectly. They were a real treat for my taste buds. While the food was fantastic, unfortunately, our experience with the waitress was not great. Despite being attentive to other tables, she seemed to forget about us more than once and left us waiting for long periods of time. This was disappointing as it detracted from an otherwise enjoyable meal. While our experience with the waitress was not ideal, let's not forget everyone has bad days, don't let this review discourage you from coming here. Deja Brew is an excellent restaurant that offers a fantastic dining experience with a diverse range of food options. The delicious food and cozy atmosphere make this restaurant a great spot to visit for a casual meal or a night out with friends. I'll for sure be coming here again and I would definitely recommend these tacos to anyone.

    I really loved the salad and the appetizers were all amazing. The buffalo wings were probably the best thing we ordered. There was a 2 hour limit for Friday night, but we didn't want to leave! I would definitely come back

    Great drinks and food. Good sized portions. Inside dining has many screens for sport lovers. Outside ( but covered and warm) is much quieter and lends itself to being able to visit with your party. Highly recommend.

    Cozy, vibrant bar food style restaurant with fantastic cocktails and yummy eats. Deja Brew exhibits a vibrant atmosphere with a great “outdoor” location that’s roofed and fitted with heaters. Service was really great, even though waters weren’t served off the bat. Mens bathroom only has one stall which can back things up. Overall really pleased with this join. Our food scores are as follows: Buffalo chicken wrap: 8.3 Mac and cheese burger: 7.3 Pot roast sliders: 6.2 Flame grilled sliders: 7.5 Drinks: 8.7

    I've been to this location a couple times (bar and tables). To begin with, the service was amazing. Thank you James for the hospitality and drink recommendation. Furthermore, the drinks were well made. Also, I recommend eating a burger or wings. Overall, this is a spot everyone should visit. Photos below: 1. Cheeseburger with bacon & egg (served with fries) 2. Boneless wings (maple bourbon bbq) 3. Margarita 4. Tequila old fashioned 5. Bar view

    Prompt polite clean service!! This place was amazing. We walked in and was greeted quickly and seated. Drinks were good and proportionate for the price. The food was really good and well plated. The music wasn’t too loud. The tvs all had a different game which was cool. I really enjoyed the vibes here. The service from everyone was just so great.

    I ordered a Patty melt and didn't realize it came with american Cheese And The patty milt came to my table dry and the onions were overcooked And the bread was like cement. And my request to the host wasn't acknowledged Because I asked not to have my bread baked hard And I asked if I could get another sandwich the manager said no Because they're policy on their menus specifically state no refunds. If it's not the establishments fbut it was because I asked before the waitress walked away for specific instructions that were not followed. I had to go back-and-forth for at least 5 minutes. With the management to have the sandwich taken off the bill. No one should have to go to any place where you're paying your hard-earned money and have someone disrespect you.

    Really loved the atmosphere at this restaurant. After seeing their food and reading the reviews, I decided to take my visiting out of town friend. My char burger with bacon and bacon jam was superb! Their house hot chips was so good. My margarita was excellent as well. My friend also raved about her sliders.. And lastly, their staff is so friendly!!! Can't wait to go back!!

    Loved The Garden patio. The server Nicole K. was great. The food and drinks were ok. We had the staycation cocktail, pot roast sliders, garlic parmesan wings were massive (which I do not care for huge wings) I did enjoy the Baha Steak Salad! They are pricey, definitely will return to try some other menu items.

    Had my daughter's bridal shower for 40 people in their private room. It was fabulous! We had a buffet including the mini burgers, chicken spiedini, mac-n-cheese and ro​asted vegetables. The food was fresh and delicious, and we are still talking about the mac-n-cheese because it was so good! We had 5 tables of 8 people and had plenty of room for a sweets table and gift table. Taylor and Hayley (spelling?) were hands down the best servers, always making sure guests had plenty of drinks and food while being friendly to everyone. It was a fantastic experience and I am forever grateful!

    First time here from outta town. Amazing service, well sized food portions. Great cocktails. I had the blood orange cinnamon margarita and the pineapple jalapeño margarita, both were phenomenal. For food I went with the crispy Buffalo chicken wrap with fries. Food was fresh and timely and tasted great. 10/10 recommend this place!

  • 4/5 Lakedia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really liked the vibe of this place we ate dinner in the garden area.which is a nice patio area. Staff was friendly and efficient. It is perfect for a date night or casual bite with girlfriends. Food and drinks came out quick and were good. Only drawback was the outside parking lot is at the entrance and that's where most people take their smoke breaks since it is a non smoking 🚬 restaurant. So when we pulled up there were a lot of people outside the front door smoking we had to walk past to get inside. It would have been a 5 if not for that. The hosts did take our phone number since there was a 10-15 minute wait for garden seating and texted us when the table was ready which was convenient so we were able to wait in the car and get seated right as we entered the garden patio.

    WOW!! I am so happy and in love with the wings! The fire sauce is delicious! Not really spicy but it does has a nice kick. The burger 5217 was incredible as well! Not overpriced. Well worth it! Will definitely come back! Staff was really nice too.

    Unfortunately had a extremely bad experience here. Had a gathering here on the last day of school. We did call ahead days prior to ask if it was possible to have a group of 20-25 being there. They indicated they take reservations but show up and they would accommodate us. Needless to say when I showed up, they reluctantly wanted to accommodate us. They indicated they wanted to make sure to accommodate their regular customers for that day (we were the crowd. Hardly anyone came in at 1230pm when we should up). They stipulated we could only be there 2 hours maximum, and only one check for the group. As our group dwindled down, the servers didn't bother stopping by to make sure if we needed anything. At the end there were only 6 of us left. The staff asked us to move to a different table because they needed to accommodate a group for the table we were occupying. Mind you, the tables around us were completely empty. so we just asked for our check, paid it, and left. Throughout our time there, the place never got busy or crowded. I never like to put out a bad review. But this time, I need to say that the place has disappointed me to the max. Barely any service, food over priced, and were treated like they were doing us the favor. I will never step into this place again. Next event or gathering will be elsewhere. Appreciate showing my group and myself what bad service is all about and how not to be treated with no regard of how much money my group spent. I will not support you. You have lost my business and I will make sure all my friends,family and acquaintances hear of my experience here

    Drinks are really good here. I had 3 different martinis. The burger I had was really good. Very juicy. My server was very kind and helpful. Hope to come back soon to try other drinks and food!

  • 4/5 Riko L. 7 months ago on Google
    The food was fantastic. My party and i all ordered burgers. They were cooked to perfection. The alcohol choices were varied and interesting. My party and i all ordered drinks we've never had. The staff was nice and helpful. My only issue with the place was how loud it could get. It's a nit pick since it's also a bar. I highly recommend this place for good time and a good food.

  • 3/5 Napoleon S. 1 year ago on Google
    Our hostess, waitstaff and servers were great. Food was also tasty. But only gave 3 stars for not having high chairs for a baby. I think it's odd to offer brunch service, host events and not have a high chair available. I saw another couple with a baby, she had the child in a carrier and had to put her on the ground and later had to ask for a chair. Maybe they need to stop drinking and start thinking when it comes to customer service.

  • 5/5 Kellie S. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    Great atmosphere loved the setup of the outdoor seating quality food well plated. I had the tinga tacos (definitely a quality serving), southwest egg rolls, and the southwest wrap. The wrap was fulfilling but dry get extra sauce I recommend the cilantro lime. Overall great experience I will be back

  • 5/5 Tara J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food fast service. I had a steak quesadilla and fries with a long island ice tea all great great! My husband had a burger and sweet potato fries. His was also very good. I tried his fries and yes yes yes 😋! We sat at the bar and it was nice. We never had to ask for anything! the customer service was top tier. It was honestly a good date night and a first for us we will be back for sure!

  • 5/5 Trevor A. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to this fine friendly eating establishment for brunch and what can I say but totally wowed! I got the steak and eggs which came very promptly i might add and everything was cooked to perfection. Steak was like butter! Eggs were fluffy and delicious..... And we absolutely cannot forget the staff! Who are always smiling and very polite and helpful. They come by your table often to see if you need refills on drinks or something to satisfy your sweet tooth. You'll definitely want to tip generously as all staff are excellent and professional. Two big thumbs up!

    Was looking forward to the Chicken and Waffles, disappointed! Chicken was tough and stringy, very dry.. Waffle was good. Would be better to use Thighs or even breaded fried tenders mixed with Nashville Hot...Service always tops!

  • 5/5 Ralph H. 2 years ago on Google
    Eaten there many times. Good food at fair prices. Menu has great bar food. Service was timely and enthusiastic. We sat out in the court yard where they added a glass atrium roof which allows extended seating even when the weather isn't that good.

  • 4/5 Machelle T. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a nice outing for me and my husband, my sister and her husband. Our first time here. She had buffalo shrimp with fries and a blood orange margarita, her husband had Chicago beef with seasoned hot chips and crown royal, my husband had 5219 burger with seasoned hot chips and 2 blood orange margaritas and I had buffalo crispy wrap with seasoned hot fries and apple of my eye cocktail. Everything was good but that apple of my eye drink. It was very bitter and nasty. I got a blood orange margarita which y'all can tell we really liked 😆. The buffalo chicken wrap was cold but I'm sure it would've been better if it was hot.

  • 5/5 Amalia A. 2 years ago on Google
    Have visited this restaurant few times. They have a great selection of beer and cocktails. My favorite one is the jalapeño & pineapple margarita it’s so flavorful it’s one of the reasons why I keep coming. They have good selection of food like burgers, wraps, wings, nachos and so much more! The customer service is on point no complains what so ever. I haven’t waited more than 15 mins for a table and that’s on a Friday night usually.

  • 5/5 Maria M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, nice atmosphere. Awesome selection of beer, wines, and mixed drinks. I love the perogies!

  • 4/5 Elvira T. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a blast last night, food was delicious and the drinks were awesome. Just 1 lil set back Maggie the server must have been new because when I was trying to talk to her she ignored me and turned to my friend instead and talked to her. I asked for several stuff and did not receive them, I asked Martin to give me to go boxes because clearly I wasn't going to get them from her. All the other servers since we started going there from the beginning have been so welcoming and always checking to see if we need something.

  • 5/5 allison s. 2 years ago on Google
    I just recently had my wedding shower at Deja Brew. I highly HIGHLY recommend this place if you like great food and even better service. Taylor (the event coordinator) and Justin (our server) made sure that everyone's drinks were full, and there were no issues whatsoever. Everyone loved the food and service. The room is gorgeous and having our own dedicated bathrooms was a very nice touch. I can't recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back.

    I always come here for drinks and apps. Staff is always super friendly. Food is delicious and they have a great beer and cocktail selection. I love that they have an outdoor patio that you can sit at when it's warmer outside. Serive is always really fast too!

  • 4/5 Candace H. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a really nice spot to grab a bite. We had brunch that was nice, I wish they had bottomless mimosas. They're brunch consists of select appetizers, a variety of burgers, and other hand held sandwiches. If you're looking for breakfast brunch, look elsewhere because we didn't see a lot of breakfast options that you would some times see for Sunday brunch. Nonetheless, it was tasty, the location has a nice atmosphere and the outside patio is relaxing with a great vibe. The staff was pleasant and it is family friendly.

  • 5/5 RedEiland 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing burgers and a great selection of beers from around the world. I highly recommend the 5219 burger. The ghost pepper jack is spicy AF
