Chief O'Neill's Pub Reviews

I live in the neighborhood, just the smell of there food hypnotises me while I'm in my apartment...

Haven t been in a while but their weekend brunch buffet was brilliant! When all this is over looking forward to getting back again

Cool atmosphere, service is a little slow, but worth the wait.

Great neighborhood restaurant. Family friendly. Awesome traditional Irish Pub food and a fabulous weekend brunch buffet

The food is so good Meat loaf infuse whit Guinness so goood

The awsomest Sunday lunch buffet I've ever seen. We just recently discovered this pub and went in to grab something for lunch on a Sunday. We had no idea they offer such a luxurious selection of things from eggs Benedict to waffle galore, do-yourself-tacos and eggs cooked to order. The salad bar, the fruits and the desserts are were all beyond expectations. Everything is fresh and delicious. It is not cheap but now we know where to go to celebrate big events.

Incredible staff and service. Great food and drinks.

Every time we go back, we only like the place more.

Great fish and chips here. Good selection of beer too. Hint: get the black and tan. The crowd on a weekend can get pretty loud and annoying (and drunk).

I have to come back when there is a band and all is in full swing... but this particular lovely afternoon was perfect for appetizers and drinks with friends in the garden. I can barely think of a more lovely outside area to eat than chief o'neill's!! and the staff was was soo accommodating and friendly!

I was invited out to have brunch with my friend and her family for Sunday brunch here. We got seated around 11am just before the rush. The buffet selection was great and everything was presented and arranged so nicely on the first floor. Reservations are not required, but you will probably be seated on the second floor. They have a lot of seating available and when it is warm outside the have an entire back patio for people to inhabit.

The waitstaff are friendly and attentive and this is a really good place to bring kids and families and groups of friends. The buffet is only 20 dollars. But drunks are extra and they will bring up your bill. I'm only giving four stars the food was good and there were a lot of.options but none of the dishes completely blew me away.

tldr: totally reccomend, great value, good for kids, awesome buffet. No reservations needed.

We spent Father's Day there and had the best time , From the friendly and attentive staff , the beautiful beer garden we were very impressed , The food is top notch ,
Amazing entailment all evening if you are truly looking for an authentic Irish pub this is the place to go ,

Nice traditional Irish Pub. Heard it won an award for best Guinness Draught in Chicago. But the beer garden and the buffet are the prize here. ( Better have a reservation for eating tho, always busy,)

Great beer on tap! The staff was very accommodating when I was out cycling and caught in the rain. They let me bring my bike in when I forgot my lock.

It was ok, not worth going if your not a big eater, I ate 1 time and had 1 drink which I thought was included in the buffet price, $43.05 too much for the small portion of food I ate.

They have this outdoor dining thing down!! Awesome food as always!!

Great Irish Pub - Live music some nights. Good menu with all the proper Irish brews.

Excellent fish and chips !! Friendly staff and wide selection of beers available . All enjoyed their meals!

Great burgers. And the outside seating area fit our rather large group no problem. The downside was when the rain came but even that didnt bother us too bad, they just moved us inside and we picked up where we left off. Great place

Matt is the best server/bar manager I've come across. Super enthusiastic, not in creepy way, but in a having a great day kind of mood.

Must stop any time especially during St. Patrick's season in Chicago. Rueben #1.

Sunday brunch was fabulous -- french toast incredible. I will be back!

Great ambience, service and food. Lighting is just right. Decor is fun. It's pretty hopping, but not so crazy lots that one can't hear his/her date talk.

I was apprehensive when I arrived on st pats - Chief Oneills seemed like a typical packed irish bar charging a cover to cram yourself into a tight space while fighting for a drink. Wow was I wrong. The space was packed, and it was tough getting a drink, but I was so impressed with the live entertainment and the food, it was easy to over look the flaws. The layout could be refined, so lines for the buffet, performance areas, and the bar are not intersecring. Definitely looking forward to spending my st pat's here next year!

Came here for a bridal shower. Good buffet and very pleasant outdoor space.

went on my birthday which was a Sunday and even tho it was empty the food was amazing and the bartender was great sorry dude wish i could remember your name,

Best fish and chips!! Food is really good, and the service was good too...

Beautiful outdoor area that you'd never know was there. Definitely a new favorite spot for chill and drinks! Great service and clean too!

Excellent brunch buffet, excellent service, excellent coffee. Great for groups, families, and even date night. It s casual fare, not pretentious, and cozy. It s not an obnoxious sports bar full of frat boys and drunks on a Saturday afternoon.

Hands down one of my favorite neighborhood joints. The cocktails are great, the beer list impressive, there is plenty of goof wine to go around ... but the food... I don't know where to start. The poutine is simply amazing - the fries are cut into thick spirals like curly stake fries, covered with amazing gravy and cheese curds. Then there was the crab dip with crunchy pita that is soft on the inside. And the burger came with more of those ridiculous fries. The steak crostini also deserves a mention even though I didn't order them this time around. Top that with the super polite and charming wait staff - some of which are in from actual Ireland for the summer, and a charming atmosphere inside and a spacious sunny patio on the outside, and you will wonder why you ever went to any other bar.

I really loved their food. I always get great customer service there. The place is well organised and the cashiers are always nice. Will come visit again.

We are blessed and thankful for all the great friends and fond memories over the past 21 years.

All of us at Chief O'Neill's wish everyone the best of health and happiness as we all do our best to navigate through these uncertain times.

Look forward to seeing you again soon at

Very good buffet brunch, good drinks and a wonderful outdoor eating area! The outdoor garden eating area is so nice and secluded, that you'd never think that you were in the midst of a large city.

A staple of the North side with one of the best, if not THE best, beer gardens in the city.

My husband's surprise 40th was at Chief's, and we could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our large crowd of friends and family! The event coordinator and staff were super friendly, food was amazing, and we would totally recommend the attic for a party!

The place was great even on a slow night. Nora, my server, was very pleasant and helpful. Recommended a great beer. Loved the fish and chips! Glad I finally stopped in.

The ambiance and dining selection is unlike any other in this great city of Chicago. I'm hooked!

Wonderful food, great live music and nice service. Had a large group and they did a great job taking care of us. We ordered a large variety from Rubens, to bacon wrapped meatloaf to salmon. It all tasted great. Live music every Monday night featured the Windy City Jammers. These old timers did a fantastic job on the banjo, mandolin, harmonica and more.

This bar is one of my favorite pubs in Chicago. They also have one of the best beer gardens in the city

Sunday Brunch was delicious. The Salmon Eggs Benedict was wonderful with the Guinness Hollandaise. The restaurant was very clean and has a lovely outdoor patio.

I love this place. Live Irish music on Sundays too! Such a good time!

Great atmosphere. Delicious food and amazing service.

The food here is pretty good I had the fish and chips and they know what they're doing with that also had their chili which was pretty good overall was good experience if I had to go there again definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for some good food and some good beer choices

Truly authentic Irish pub in Chicago, great beer garden and good fare.

Just absolutely beautiful,for those who've been there once will keep coming back for more, delicious food and liquor in the morning, through our the day.

One of the more authentic Irish pubs in Chicago. Great grub.

I've been to the Chief 4-5 times in the two months I've been living here. The staff is very friendly and already remembers me as a regular. The Spinach and Artichoke Dip is a must try.

My friend got married here and it was absolutely amazing, beautiful outside and a good time inside!

This place sincerely has the best brunch in Chicago. You must go there, can't recommend enough!

Great food great atmosphere great people .. you can't go wrong dinner for two or 100 always wonderful

Fair draft beer selection. Good food (lamb burger, goat cheese fondue, fish and chips and baked brie were all great!).

Live music and great food! Their cocktails are delicious. The best asparagus I've ever had. Steak was cooked perfectly. I can't wait to visit again!

Food here is amazing. Best fish n chips I've had in a long time. Cheese curds are delectable. Great beer selection and always fantastic service.

Amazing food and beer selection. If your date doesn't like the place, break it off mate!!

A lot of options for the brunch buffet. It's exciting! Lots of desserts! Omelette station. Sat at the bar since tables were full on Saturday morning. I asked if the orange juice was freshly squeezed and they said yes but it certainly didn't taste that way and it costed $6.

I've since been back and have been more impressed with their food. A fun place to have a drink and hear live music in IL.

Solid Irish food and one of the few old-school bars remaining in the neighborhood. Don't bother if you're a vegetarian

This is a great Irish pub with a large selection of whiskeys, beers, and a delicious menu with American and Irish fare.

My friends and I came here one night cuz it was the closest place for all of us. It's an Irish bar with basically always Irish music at least on a Tuesday night. It was pretty empty that night which was good. I would have hoped for more specials on a Tuesday but they only had Black and Tans for $5. Either way they were good, but not good enough to warrant a return.

We had a cheerful waiter who paid us prompt attention, was nice to us, though we wanted to have cheese left off of things, and one of us just had soda, which he filled again. So nice. We loved our salad a flat bread, Reuben bites and drinks.Thanks

Really like the store s theme decor and had the best lamb burger

This place transports you back to a real pub in Ireland. They have an amazing group of musicians who post up on Sundays and play traditional Irish music for hours and hours. The bar is off the beaten path but totally worth it!

Great Brunch, and if you go for dinner make sure you get the Guinness infused meat loaf, it is to die for.

Best buffet brunch around.
Something for everyone.
Wonderful waitstaff.
Adult drink costs are reasonable.
It the weather permits, I suggest eating outside in the courtyard.

My fiance and I visited Chief O'Neils for a couple friends renewing their wedding vows and it was so beautiful how they had the outdoor space set up. Drinks and food were good, but he customer service from the staff was really great. I would recommend having any kind of event, corp event or even just a gathering at Chiefs.

The most beautiful garden. I would get married in it!

Sat at the bar for Valentines Day with my husband.
Jennifer was our bartender and she was fantastic! We were both feeling rather down, and Jennifer s positive energy and friendly personality made for a great night! Food was delicious, drinks were fantastic, and service was above par! Thank you for a wonderful evening Chief Oneills!

Their brunch buffet is pretty impressive; however, a lot of the options were dry or over cooked. This place is beautiful and has a gorgeous outdoor patio, but I would try something other than the weekend brunch buffet.
