The place has a wonderful vibe to it. The music and the ambience match. We sat in the open on a bright sunny evening. Service was fast and courteous. Drinks were great and I really enjoyed my chicken sandwich (photo). The others who had gone for some vegan sandwiches didn’t like it and found that to be bland. I am taking one star just because the vegan sandwich and the steel bowls in which the chips were served were not shiny clean. They seemed coated with dirt over time.

I had amazing cocktails at the Lombard location, so I came here with high expectations — but the cocktails at the Naperville spot were honestly just okay, which was a bit disappointing. The food was still great though, and the vibe was lovely with the open rooftop seating and occasional DJ playing music. It’s a fun place to hang out, but to be honest, I still prefer the Oakbrook location. Not sure if I’d come back here.

Food was good. I had a Jane Burger which was $13 and added cheese for $1 and an avocado which was $3. Any toppings are extra. My wife ordered tbe chicken avocado and she said it was great. Also ordered the Poutine Fries as an appetizer but we didn't get them until we recieved our dinner. Either tbe waitress forgot them or the kitchen was backed up like she said. The only problem with that was it wasn't that busy when we went there. Atmosphere was excellent although we wanted to sit outside but the weather went from 81 degrees to 62 degrees by the time we got there.

We ate on the roof top and it was a great atmosphere. I had the Yardbird sandwich and my wife had the Shredder salad. Both were delicious and highly recommended.

Great burgers, bar atmosphere, and beers! Fun place to enjoy drinks, have dinner, watch a game, and enjoy outdoor patio seating on the banks of the river. Unique menu of speciality burgers.
