The Office Pub & Grill

This place is fantastic! I just moved into the neighborhood and I’ve been coming here for lunch a bunch. Service is always quick and speedy and the waitresses are super friendly.
The place is never too crowded, so if you are in hurry during your lunch break that place will definitely work for you. The décor inside is a bit dark and kinda give the vibe of a boy’s bar/​man cave but food is phenomenal .
The dry rub chicken wings are amaze balls as well as the strawberry chicken salad. Their food in inventive and creative and no your average bar grub. They have a great huuuge outdoor patio, that’s heated btw…

I had the steak sandwich with fries last night. It was amazing. They used a fresh firm pretzel style bun and loaded the sandwich with delicious tender steak, peppers, cheese and onion pedals. The steak was cooked perfectly, not a single chewy, fatty or gnarly piece in the whole sandwich.
The fires were fresh and hot «Texas crisper» seasoned cut between a regular straight FF and a Steak fry. They were crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.
My friends had the dry rubbed wings. Although I did not try them they looked and smelled amazing. They looked fat and juicy with nice crispy outside and moist tender inside.
All this at a packed bar during a Vikings game! Server was great and kept our drinks coming even with all the hyped up Vikes fans.
After reading through some of the other reviews I fell that I must take exception with the lame people who gave poor reviews.
It’s not the bar’s fault if you’re an ugly fat white chick and come in alone to sulk and cry into a beer.
If you are incapable of reading a menu DON’T BITCH and complain about the price of a beer. The beer list on EVERY TABLE has the price clearly printed after the description of every beer on the menu. And if you’re in the north loop you should expect to pay $ 7 for a premium craft beer. There were plenty of beers at $ 5 – 6 to pick from. Maybe fatty should have stuck to a mich ultra or Miller Light.
This place is a sports bar with very nice, for a bar, large Samsung tv’s everywhere. The entire bar has a scrolling stadium style scoring ticker that circles the bar. I did not find it bright or annoying. In fact I thought it was a sweet idea. You can keep tabs on other sports as the ticker scrolls above the 55″ TV you’re watching. PS it’s a sports bar, I expect to see more dudes than hot babes hanging out at a sports bar!
Bottom line, don’t bitch if your fat, ugly and lonely and give the bar a 2 star review when you never had food and can’t understand the theme of the restaurant. Or mark the place down when you’re trolling for chicks in a sports bar.

Black Friday lunch is perfect if you want some alone time, or some focus time from the bartender. Place was empty, had the games on, and was great.
Ordered the White Chicken Chili and a burger. The chili was great — lots of good stuff and came with a pretzel — skip the tortilla chips (they looked good) but the pretzel was great with the chili.
Also had a mushroom /​truffle /​swiss burger. As expected and good. Messy with goodness and cooked perfect. Fries were solid.
I’ll definitely be back, except when OSU is playing. They are a Buckeye bar and good food only goes so far.

Y’all, I’m at The Office nearly every single week. Come here on Wednesday nights for trivia!
If it wasn’t for the fact that a friend hosts the Wednesday night trivia, I’m not sure that I ever would have been at a place that advertises «it’s okay to stay late at The Office!» because it reminds me a little too much of my actual job at an office and that makes me a little sad. Needless to say, the trivia is fun, burgers hit the spot, and the food isn’t bad. I’m not quite sure what this atmosphere is like on the weekends (I can only imagine herds of bros who miss being at the actual office), but it’s bearable on weeknights.
I have to give a shoutout to Carley, our favorite server there. I’m fairly sure we became «regulars» about the second time we were there, and she usually knows what we’ll order. She’s super nice, checks in just enough and not TOO much, and always brings us our checks before the end of the night so we can get out on time. She’s wonderful.
Food-​wise — skip the sliders & turkey sandwich, go for the burgers (any of them, really), and their fries are AWESOME.

I can only review atmosphere and service. The Friday evening when I stopped in after 7 and before the night shift was weird.
The bartendress was a plastic barbie doll, but a very pleasant one. The bar too was trying too hard to be something it wasn’t, and fell squarely into an identity crisis between Hooters and a dance club.
All of this would be really entertaining, especially if I had someone with me to people watch. When I saw my beer was $ 7 plus tax, I decided I was way too simple (and poor) to stick around.
Maybe they have a good happy hour?

So the was our last stop on saturday night. The place was kinda dead no ladies in the place it had a bunch of guys when we walked in. As I walked in the place felt like a strip club or a part of de ja vu. It had alk types of flashing lights on the bar. I was waiting for someone to hop up and dance on the bar.
The service from the bartenders was exceptional they were Johnny on the spot and kept my drink full. After 2 drinks 2 ladies came in but the place had like 90% guys. There seem to be some regulars at the bar. Come on people take some pride in yourself and at least put something decent on when u go out on a Saturday night. Over all the place seemed to have a high energy feel but I think some of the clientele scare away others

When I first saw this place I immediately thought of Father’s Office in Los Angeles and had to check it out.
The food (we had burgers) and drinks were great. The staff and the manager were very friendly. The lunch hour seems like it is not very busy so it is a great time to try it out.
I plan on trying one of their salads next time, if I can show some restraint. They give you a small bite of desert at the end too. Love it.

Despite what Dylan S says they do not charge for ice. The drinks are actually a lot more reasonable than several other places in this neighborhood.

Great burgers. Great staff. Great spot for lunch.
For a new place, they’ve settled into the neighborhood quickly.
Not sure what the night crowd is like, but during the day it’s a quick lunch and the bar seats are really comfortable.

Went there for a friend’s birthday. Had a great back patio area — partially covered. People brought their dogs and it has a cool, neighborhood feel. The grilled steak sliders were really, really good and the fries were awesome! Our friends really liked the Korean beef stir fry and pork sliders. The food is fresh and the accompanying slaws and sauces very flavorful. When we were leaving, we noticed inside they had a DJ and lots of sports fans around several large TV’s. Seems like a little something for everyone…

Went here because it is close to my work and the menu looked great, even for a vegetarian! Called in an order to pick up, got the falafel sliders and they were AMAZING! Served with great thick cute salty fries. Friendly, quick service, and bar seems clean and new. Can’t wait to go back and check out the patio for happy hour!

My fiancé and I went to The Office this past Sunday to have a couple drinks and relax. While we were sitting at the bar, a group of guys – all of whom were completely hammered – came in and sat/​stood next to us. The drunkest of the guys repeatedly bumped into my fiancé, to the point where we had to move to different seats. Then this guy ordered multiple rounds of shots (one of which he just dumped on the floor). Regardless of the fact that he was visibly drunk, the bartender continued to serve him. All of this happened without any recognition from The Office staff of his drunkenness and how it affected other patrons. (Others in the bar noticed all this going on.)
We quickly got the tab because we wanted to leave before anything escalated and saw that one beer was $ 7. Way overpriced.
We’ll never come back, which is disappointing because we leave just a few blocks away and were hoping for a new regular spot.

Recently went to the Office with some friends who live right up the street. We chose the Office due to the ability to walk and good word of mouth. Inside there is a large bar area with table seating featuring lots of televisions. There’s also a large patio with table seating and additional televisions. During this visit we sat outback on the patio. The menu is primarily pub fare like finger food, burger, and sandwiches. Our server was nice and attentive and we ordered an appetizer and various sandwiches.
For an appetizer we had the cheese dip which came with soft pretzels and tortilla chips. It was good pub food nothing more or less and the soft pretzels were especially good. For entrées I had a burger and my wife had falafel. The burger was okay nothing to write home about and I was disappointed that it did not have a hand formed feel. French fries that came with the burger were good and indicative of quality along with the sea salt used to season them. My wife does not eat red meat but said that the falafel was great and she did enjoy the presentation and the flavors.
Overall the Office is an updated restaurant featuring a traditional pub style menu. However, with the town having so many divergent food options the Office may struggle because it’s not necessarily doing anything great.
