What better place than hawkeyes in thursday to rack up memories and connections. We forget the internal fights in our groups to simply chill out at this bar. The only fight we have is about who gets to eat the last of amazing chicken tenders at this place!! 😜😜😜

Since the city opened up my wife and I agreed to not go to the same place twice so we can try as many new places as we can. We moved to Chicago shortly before the pandemic. But we immediately broke our own rule with Hawkeye's bar. This place is AMAZING! Patio seating, full bar, full food menu! EXCELLENT service! Everyone there, including other customers, are just so friendly and cheerful. I LOVE this place. I would give it more stars if I could! 10 out of 10! Hawkeye's is the best! I can't wait to come back!

Hawkeyes is a nice bar spot. Noting over the top but it’s a bar. Our server, Vince, was attentive and immediately gave my friend a birthday cheesecake when he understood it was her birthday. The drinks were tasty. I had the SW Salad + Chicken. The overall salad was good. The chicken needed more seasoning for it to be Southwest. The dressing aligned with the salad was awful. I’d recommend a new recipe there. My friend had the Mediterranean salad and chicken tenders. I will asume the food was good. It was all gone! 😂 And, no complaints! 🤣 Hawkeyes is a cool place. They also have another party space in the basement. I’ll be back.

Just turned 21 a few days ago and visited this place near the UIC campus. Great ambient and people to hang out with and get drinks in. Not sure if they do this every week, but there was some trivia questions on the TV’s and the winners would get a round of shots or drinks for free. Great music as well! Will be back soon!

Jess was very fun and attentive! She gave us recommendations and they were amazing. Will definitely be back again! Thank you Jess!

I always Love going to Hawkeye's in the early afternoon when it's not overly crowded and busy. All food was fresh and well prepared. I enjoyed a Greek salad and the chicken tenders. Our server, Vince, was very friendly, pleasant, and attentive. He even surprised me with a slice of Cheesecake for my BDay. Thanks Vince for a Wonderful experience!!

Very nice crowd, good shareable foods, and drinks...Best to come after the games!!

Vince, the server, could benefit from additional training on checking out patrons. He lacks basic communication and social skills. On Wednesday, June 7th, my co-workers and I decided to stop at Hawkeyes to celebrate the end of the school year. I work at a school with over 100 employees-everyone isn’t familiar with each other. Most people came with a group and there was about 25 people in total from my school. I arrived with a group of four and we bar hopped prior to arriving at Hawkeyes. Therefore, we didn’t order any food or drinks we just came for the karaoke experience. After 2 hours of enjoying ourselves, we decided to leave. Vince approached the exit and screamed at the top of his lungs. He called the manager and another employee to the front. We were confused. Jenna, the manager, was also puzzled as to why Vince reacted that way. Vince told us that we needed to cover an unpaid tab. I noticed the tab had a guest count of 5 and was started at 8:47pm. We came at 9:50pm and again, we were a group of four. Vince, It’s your job as a server to keep track of your table. We weren’t approached at all throughout the night. Why were we approached about a tab we had no knowledge of before leaving? I’m assuming this was his first day. My co-worker ended up covering a $215 tab that wasn’t hers to avoid an unnecessary escalation of events- which would’ve been precipitated by Vince. Do Better!

Hawkeye's, which is more than just a bar, is a neighborhood staple where professionals and college students alike come to socialize and relax. The service is second to none, the staff are very accommodating and friendly. The food is definitely pricey for bar food, but if you order happy hour specials you can get a much better bang for your buck.

The food is great The service, not so much. Was told to sit down and someone would be with me shortly. Almost 20 min later someone came over to me and I informed her I had been here almost 20 minutes. I asked her what happened. She said no one told her. Seriously. So then the guy who was supposed to let her know came over and said that was my bad. I can give you a side or a free drink. I don’t feel like they really cared. So if you are on your lunch don’t come here or order ahead. And then the girl just dropped my food off and walked away. Didn’t say have a nice day or sorry you wasted your hour long lunch waiting. So now I have 10 min to try and eat. It’s sad became I really liked this place. Edit- The sandwich I got this time wasn’t nearly as good as the last time. So after reading all the other reviews and my not so great experience, I will not be going back. And I suggest others to do the same. There is a lot more restaurants down Taylor I will be checking out instead.

First time at this establishment. Got there at happy hour, so I was very happy with the drink specials. The bartender was friendly, welcoming and attentive. We didn't order any food, but I'll definitely come back and try their food next time to see if I like it.

Had lunch outside today. I had 10pc wings app & cheese curds app, both were very good; medium sauce which was 'very light' in heat. Wife had Meatloaf plate, bring your appetite on that one; she'll get another meal this week.

Very nice bar and grill. Popular local hangout. Outside dining option. Food is very good. Thursday at noon wasn't crowded.

Tasty food & great ambiance. The window seating is really nice, too. Our waitress was very friendly, efficient, & experienced. I really like their Red Line drink. I definitely recommend this place to those who love a good wrap/burger! :)

Nice place. Had plenty of room around the bar. Bartenders were busy but didn't ignore anyone. Mixed drinks were very good. I'll go back

I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. Loved the fact we were able to take a shuttle to the game. Awesome service! The entire team!

We were in town for the Blackhawks game and decided to grab brunch and drinks while catching Da Bears game at Hawkeyes. The bartender, Gabby, was very nice and not only did she make us feel welcomed she treated us like we were regulars. The food was good, drinks were excellent, and the customers were friendly. Next time we’re in town for a Bears or Blackhawks game we’ll be sure to stop in.

The wings were very good. The bartender was awesome keep my glass full and keep checking on me. Was a very friendly atmosphere.

Glad to see Hawkeyes hasn't missed a beat. It's been years since I've been in and I enjoyed coming back. I had a Bloody Mary and it was perfection in a glass. In hindsight I wish I took a picture. Presentation was a 10!

Awesome spot to hang with friends after work. I've been coming here for years, and I love it. This time, it was for a coworkers 55th.

Fun little place, decent food, decent happy hour specials, service is hit or miss, but pretty friendly. Repeat customer.

Food was awesome! Beer nice and cold! If I'm ever in the area, I'll be eating here.

great time spent here for our 1st day in chicago. friendly waitress Juliana, good atmosphere and exceptional dishes and beers, a real treat.

Working nearby, I have been lunching, afterworking and celebrating coworker retirements here for over 20 years. I have never had bad service and they have some of the best bar classics in town! Their flame broiled burgers are delicious... can never go wrong with one!

Your run of the mill bar! The food was good but can be improved; the calamari size portion could be a bit bigger to make it more shareable, the sliders were cold, the bang bang shrimps were good but the sauce to shrimp ratio was way off, at some point we were just eating sauce. The guac and chips though were really good; generous amount of both!

This place is good for cheap shots and decent bar food. It can get a little hectic here because of its proximity to UIC and the United center. But over all, the food quality and prices are great for a bar outing.

Food and bar were great. Service was terrible. Waited a very long time for the waitress to take our order, but it was understandably busy. I was given a brunch menu, but unfortunately since we waited a long time for the waitress, that menu ended. No big deal. Service at this point was good. My partner put their order in, and she told me she’d be back for mine. We waited 20-30 minutes and the waitress only came back to deliver my partner’s food. I could tell she felt bad she forgot about me, so no big deal. It happens. I finally got to eat, but we waited 40 minutes after eating to pay. The bar was absolutely dead by this point. She was talking with the other staff and checked on multiple tables. I really wanted to leave, so I watched for a bit hoping she’d come back. She straight up forgot about us. I had to get another waiter just to leave. It was extremely awkward. Hopefully it was just a weird day.

A really great local pub. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was awesome! The portions were generous and not over priced!

Ton’s of Fun! We stopped down at Hawkeye’s on a chilly Friday night in April to find a fun group of people having a blast! The food was good and the service was good too. Great Chicago atmosphere!

Went with my parents and Aunt and Uncle after a memorial service. It's bar food, probably better with a few drinks. Mom and Aunt ordered burgers medium, they were served well done. Dad and Uncle ordered the fish and chips, the fish was 4 very small pieces with hand cut fries that were not twice fried. The fish was extremely dark. As well as pretzels and fried cheese curds for appetizers that arrived with the meal. What I am guessing was a beer cheese dipping sauce for the pretzels, was semi coagulated and separating as well as not very tasy. Pretzels were oily and very heavily salted. I dont mind salt, but this was to much for even my pallet. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with loaded tots. Nice looking sandwich, chicken was dry with only a hint of buffalo flavor, sauce on the bun was minimal. Loaded tots looked appealing, lots of bacon. Tots were semi warm with some puddles of fryer grease, as was the canned cheese sauce.

Service was fine, but I’m kind of disappointed that they don’t pour Guinness correctly during busy hours. When poured, Guinness on tap is pour at a 45 degree angle until 1/2-3/4 full, left to settle, then filled to the end, not filled as if it was bud light on tap. Ireland is crying right now. The Fish and Chips were well made.

It’s a good bar with good food. Messed up my order but apologized and got it to us a bit later than expected but still delicious. My waiter was nice and provided great service under the circumstances and said he wouldn’t charge us for the late food, but the manager said a round of free drinks instead.There was only 2 of us and only one was drinking. Either way we appreciated the gesture but skipped the free drink.

A Chicago classic! Wings, burgers, salads, pizza, and plenty of appetizers.. Try the ruben rollups. Great beer selection and attentive service. Price info: A bottle of zombie dust is 9 bucks

The Classic Burger w/ Bacon was a hit for me cooked to perfection. My first visit to Hawkeye's but it definitely won't be my last. Would definitely give a thumbs up😄

Been here twice so far, and I say so far becuz I will most definitely be back!!! My cousin asked me to recommend a bar not too far from my house for him and his co works to have a drink after their shift. Of course I tagged along as well. Not only did they love it but they will be booking their party room for an event. The staff always makes u feel warm and welcome. Just make sure u have your COVID-19 VACCINATION CARD!!!💓👌🏽👍🏽🍺🍻🍾🥂🍷🥃🍸🍹🍗🍔🍕🍟🍝🥪Oh yeah, did I mention their food was great as well?!?!?!💯

This is a place where I’ll go for a convo with friends that’s it. I ordered drinks the server recommended and didn’t even get a buzz and I’m not a drinker. Nachos were cold,bill was over a hundred including tip. Wasn’t worth it. But I did enjoy my time out with my friend that’s what made the night.

I just had the most wonderful service of my life, by a girl named Katerina. She helped navigate the menu in my favor and topic of conversation the whole time. The Food!!! Omg. Burger, wings, you name it. Absolutely fantastic would rate 10/10 certainly won’t be the last visit!

First I would like to say this bar stinks!! Literally it smells so bad🤮the waitress with blonde highlighted hair passed my table several times after I called out to her. When she did come to my table she was very rude! She just stood around flirting with men . The bar wasn’t very busy that night so I don’t understand why she had an attitude. Not only this but my Italian beef meat was pink and tasteless . The drinks were good though.

Hands down my favorite bar before a Hawks game. Would had been five stars but they automatically added 18% "large party" tip to our order. There were three of us sitting at the bar, not sure how that constituted a large party. Honestly was going to tip a whole lot more than 18% until I noticed this. I personally believe this is bad business.

I went here on a Thursday evening with a friend. We always like the local experience when traveling and this place definitely delivered. The staff were all very friendly and the crowd is pretty diverse. They have a good happy hour menu and my friend and I found out we got 25% off our appetizer during their happy hour as well. We only ordered a couple drinks and a shareable and it was great food. I'll be sure to be back next time I'm in the area. Insta: vidaoflexi

Nice local spot. Where the locals know their bartenders by name and the bartenders know you. As outsiders we felt like we belonged and that was a huge deal. Drinks are great and if we had time we would have definitely ate there too.

Couldn’t tell you how great the experience I had at this bar after work. The locals made for a good atmosphere watching sports. Once again had outstanding service by the lovely Katerina. Taking care and making sure I could see the sports game I was watching. Man whoever is in that kitchen is absolutely taking care of business. I like to try something new off the menu every visit. This time, the Blackened chicken club, every bite made me wish I had more! Such a great experience that I even got the new dessert. Chocolate Flan! Are you kidding! Can’t wait for my next visit. Thanks for everything!

My friend and I went on a Friday afternoon and our server was Gabby and she was amazing! So attentive and fun! Definitely ask for her when you go! Omar, the manager also came over to talk to us since we were there so long and also offered us a round! We had an amazing time! Thank you guys!

Delicious and staff is so kind and attentive. Definitely going back for that Pilsen Mangito drink!

Very attentive and efficient. I had a classic burger, cooked to perfection, and waffle fries. Cabernet Sauvignon was a perfect compliment and server, Vince, made the visit pleasant and relaxing. Definitely will be back!

-Amazing food options - very tasty -Pro tip - order blue mother****** which is not on menu (secret menu) - another good one is bahama mama - burger and fries are both really good

Great service. They had German beer and thats where a few guys were hanging around that tap. Appetitizers were good. Hot and tasty. Will go again, the next time we're up there.

We enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was a typical bar and grill. It's small, but the environment was a great substitute. The food was delicious. We ordered pizza, hot wings, tenders, fried pickles, fish & chips, and shots. The alcoholic drinks were a little watered down. We would definitely go again.
