Delux Bar & Grill

We were around the corner for an event, and we found this place as the closest and best option for food. We got takeout and it was relatively quick service .
All I gotta say is GET THE SMOTHERED TOTS. Just do it. I still think about those dang things. So glad we stumbled across this restaurant that day.

I hate to leave this review because this is such a neighborhood gem — delish food, chill vibe, tv’s, great go-​to. I usually dine in or take out about 2 – 3 times a week from here, I’d say I’m a regular. But after my last visit I’m going to take a break.
I recently brought some friends in for pizza and beers to watch the bulls game. We ordered a large THIN crust za, pretty standard — it took over. an. hour. By the time it came out the game was over. Naturally I inquired about the status of our (thin crust) pizza a couple times during the stupidly long wait — was just told that «it takes a while» and then that «they had to remake it».
No apologies were made, nor was anything taken off our bill (like maybe one of the extra rounds of beers we ordered during the 75 minute wait for our food??). Oh and the pizza was kinda burnt.
Don’t come here expecting five star service I guess. Or mediocre service.

I’ve only been here for lunch and the food has always been good.
The chicken tortilla soup smells delicious. And the taste is amazing down to the last spoon.
I decided to try a different salad today. I had the Asian chicken salad. The fried won ton strips made it nice and crunchy. They fry them per order is great. But it makes the salad very oily. Next time I’ll ask if they could dab the oil a bit more.
Great place for lunch… at a bar.

My favorite River West bar, and a great bar all-​around. Cheap drinks, quick service, plenty of space, a full menu, and some TVs are actually tuned to the news! If you’re in the area (and even if you’re not and just looking for something new), come on over!

Great place to watch your favorite sports team and enjoy drinks and bar food! I highly recommend the buffalo chicken egg rolls appetizer!

Came here for brunch. The breeze be the windows is awesome and bathrooms were really clean. Ordered chilaquiles with chorizo and they were actually pretty tasty. I like mine crunchy not too soggy so these were on point. Also large order of tots, a bit too greasy but otherwise crispy. Good brunch spot

Looking for a good brunch to help relieve that hangover? Then this is the place to go! Both the food and service are pretty amazing. The people that work there are not only super nice, but have a good sense of humor too.
In terms of food, I have now been here on 2 occasions with 2 groups and was able to try several dishes.
Like another Unilocaler, I highly recommend the loaded tot appetizer. How can you go wrong with tots smothered in cheese sauce and bacon? Drooling just thinking about it! We also had the mozzarella sticks, and those were pretty standard.
The Mexican scramble was delicious, especially if you like a little heat. Also delicious was the breakfast quesadilla. My husband ordered the buffalo chicken wrap due to one review saying it was the best. It was good, but definitely not the best. The sauce was a little watery and didn’t adhere to the chicken that well. Also, the chilaquiles were not quite what I’m used to. I prefer mine drenched in a nice red or green sauce and they used salsa vs sauce. Also, another plus if you are a tot fan is that the breakfast potatoes are actually smashed tots!
Overall I’m super happy we found this place and this will definitely be part of our usual brunch rotation!

Nice so far, I’m ordering a take out even that it’s nice inside. ⁴⁄₅ they have no pineapple so no Hawaiian pizza choice.

This is a go to bar for lunches and after work drinks. Its a couple blocks from my office and super convenient.
Atmosphere…
Clean & Friendly. Pool table and Internet Jukebox. Not to loud that you can’t hold a conversation with your friends.
Food…
95% of the food I’ve ordered has been very good. My favorites are the burger special and the buffalo chicken sliders. When we head there after work, tater totes are usually the favorite.
Drinks…
Good drink selection, I would love it even more if they could put Smithwick’s on the menu.
Negatives…
They usually only have one server on lunch. Sometimes when the place fills up, you may have to wait for your bill. Definitely not a deal breaker though.

This place never disappoints. great service, great food and always the right amount of people in the bar. The Duke burger and the shrimp po boy are my favs.

Everything I’ve had to eat here is really good but I have to say the chicken nachos are amazing just be sure to tell them skip the lettuce (yuck). The staff is super friendly and I usually don’t have a lot of trouble getting a table unless the Bears are on.
Good Bar. Great Food!

Shrimp Po Boy and Tortilla Soup were great paired with Revolution Brewery AntiHero.
Also had a thin crust bacon pizza which was great. Sometimes a thin crust can be too thin but this was a perfect medium between traditional hand tossed and thin crust.
Service was great, we were there early for lunch service and there was almost nobody else there.

Very decent food and beer selection. Small-​town feel.

Came here for brunch the other day. Superb brunch.
Service and atmosphere were good as well, though the location is pretty inconvenient for most everyone I think.
Had the corned beef hash skillet. Massive amount of food, delicious hash with a hefty portion of corned beef. I would definitely get it again. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the other filling ingredients were very tasty.
I’d definitely return for brunch and would probably be willing to try it some night as well… though I’d be sure to order the food when I go at night.

Some if the best mozzarella sticks in the city!!!
My friend was defeated by the huge portions of nachos, but she said they were good! The staff was able to change the channels to the games that we wanted to watch which was great.

Chorizo Taco Plate. ’nuff said.
Bartender’s pretty cool too.

Moved a couple blocks down from here, and after 2 weeks, I’ve already been here 3 times. I’ve gone on weekday nights, sometime around ⁸⁄₉ pm and its usually been me and maybe 8 – 10 people in there, so pretty slow. They have great drink specials, including $ 3 Goose Island on Tuesdays and $ 3 Stellas, so great place to grab a beer after a day of work.
While the menu has most of the typical items you’d see at a bar (wings/​burgers/​nachos), They tend to take them all up a nothc. I’ve had the Buffalo chicken egg rolls, the southwest chicken wrap and nachos with pull prok, and they have all been excellent. So glad to be living near a place that is a short walk, and will provide great service and some great food.
Can’t wait until Hockey/​Football Season when I can see this place getting pretty full.

If we are talking about bar-​food, which this is: The food and staff get fives across the board.
What can I say? The salads are some of the best in the area. and to be honest, everything here has been fantastic — it does have a gritty ambiance, but the food has always been great, as well as the service.
They have a deal every day, and on game-​days, you get the ‘real’ fans

I stopped here for lunch. WHY!!! Because my co-​workers said that they have great specials and great fries (i live for fries with mayo). First of all it was COLD in here. The weather was cold and i did not understand why they had alllllll the windows open. I took a seat at the bar and my server/​bartender was just rude. I mean i haven’t even placed an order yet and she gave me a nasty attitude! I am aware that i have a very slight accent but she kept saying «HUH and WHAT» its not liken i was speaking in a foreign language. I mean seriously her «huh and what» really pissed me off.
I ordered the burger special for $ 6.00 plus fries. I asked for a medium well burger and my burger was literally burned, super greasy and I did not have what i wanted on it which was; cheese, lettuce, tomato, raw onions and ketchup. How do you get this wrong? Honestly if she would have gotten my food correct and the burger less greasy; it could have been good. I took maybe two bites of it and asked for my check.
Now in my experiences if you see a customer barely touching their food, YOU AS THE SERVER, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ASK WHATS WRONG. Well this server/​bartender just looked at me and took my food.
BTW its the very very tall blond behind the bar that was serving me
Wont be coming back!

Couldn’t be more happy with a bar that I can basically trip out of my front door and land inside. It’s the ultimate neighborhood spot. So chill both staff and customer wise, amazing bar food, and very affordable drinks.
Do: Eat the buffalo chicken wrap, Lumberjack burger, Asian chicken salad and of course tots.
Do: Play darts, jam music on MyTouchtunes, sit in the comfy lounge chairs, and drink one of their awesome Zing Zang made bloodys.
Don’t: Tell your friends cause this is my new spot. Just kidding… they can come too.
