Draft Picks

Really cool spot to watch the game. My buddies and I went for a drink and to catch the end of the Cubs game. Tons of different options on draft, and they have half off apps and pizza Monday nights! Only downside was half the TV’s at the bar were flipping through photos of their bar. Why would I wanna look at pictures or where I’m sitting? Regardless, I’d go back, bartenders were cool too.

Gave this place 3 try’s.
Last time we went we got burgers and beer (what they are «known» for) we asked for rare and got well done burgers. I don’t normally say anything I just forget about it and enjoy the food but I had to be the one to say something. The server apologized and went to order a new one for us. The cook brought it out and said here I hope it’s ok. Again well done. 2 burgers and 3 beers ended up costing $ 62 before tip. We don’t mind paying for great food but this was surly a disappointment. We won’t be returning.

I love love this place! Can’t beat this place! They make the trip in an affordable experience for families, date night or if you just want a bite to eat alone. The Pizza is really good, the Fish Fry, Steak & all of the burgers are good too. The crinkle cut fried are like Portillo’s The service is really good & you get your food quick. The wings are really good and meaty. Best of all you can get a side salad for $ 2. Seating is comfortable and cozy and if you want to sit around the large island bar there always seems to be a seat. The place is packed all of the time — but we’ve always been greeted quickly and seated. The manager Jim is always engaging his staff and looking out to ensure our experience is a good one. It’s a good place to go anytime. In the summer the windows in the dining room swivel open for the entire room — which makes it a good place to go when its warm out. If you’ve had a bad experience, trust me it was isolated and not a reason to write it off & if you do its your loss. I’ve been there about 10 times since it opened and I’ve yet to have a bad experience. Its definitely worth the trip.

Nice place with a lot of tvs. This particular location has had very bad luck and every restaurant that opens in this location has shut down. About half of it is a bar and the other half is a dining area. We ate there for lunch on Sunday since we saw the sign outside stating half off chicken sandwiches and sliders. It turns out they have specials every day of the week. Although it’s only because their prices are a lot higher for the area. Average $ 11 for sandwich or burger with fries. Those are prices in downtown Chicago but not Naperville area. I would’ve given this place 4 stars but I personally don’t like this sales tactic to charge higher prices only to advertise discounts. The waitress was very nice and the food we ordered was very good. We ordered the chicken pita sandwich, chicken avocado sandwich and a bunch of sliders. The fries needed salt but I liked this because it allows patrons to put on their right amount of salt to their liking. All in all good place to eat if you come for the specials.

This place is definitly more of your upscale and much better than your average sports bar. The restauranr and bar area is huge with enough tv’s that you would never miss a play. The place is clean and seems like it would appeal to more than just your sports fan. The menu is large and has quite a variety of items. There are specials and the quality of food is very good. Definitly better than what just comes out of a fryer or just an average bar. I would feel comfortable bringing a date here for a casual bite or just the family for a decent dinner. There is something for everybody.

Great ambiance. Good food and great lunch specials. Bar is good for drinks and watching sports. The dining area you can watch the games and still hold a conversation if your meeting clients. Located right near the north end of train station.
Free Wifi and pretty decent!

Great food and lots of options. The service sometimes can be a little slow, but overall not terrible.

Great service, atmosphere, and food! I had garlic parmesan wings. They were delicious. My son had the doubl grilled cheese burger. He devoured it! Will be back.

Literally sat at a back table for over 30minutes without a single server approaching our table. There are 3 working the back room and despite my husband waving and calling out to the waiter we still sat unattended to. You would need a flare gun to get someone’s attention at this rate. After giving up on the table we went to the bar to find out the beer menu is wrong and they actually don’t have coffe bender or other craft beers as advertised. Long story short, I’d love to tell you how the food was but I never got to try it. Worst service I’ve seen in a really long time. Won’t be back.

A nice place to hangout with friends and enjoy great beers and eat delicious burgers! The music is awesome and they have over 30+ big screen TV’s. I will definitely start coming here regularly on Friday and Saturday night.

I’ve been here several times now, so it’s about time I write a review.
This place offers a food menu consisting of burgers, pizza, chicken sandwiches, etc. Ya know, the usual. The prices are fair, but the specials are even better and specials they have like every night. On different occasions I’ve tried a burger, the pulled pork and burger sliders, a buffalo chicken sandwich and the rib dinner. I did mention these were all on different occasions, right? Yikes, I sound like quite an eater. Anywho, the sliders were amazing and the buffalo chicken sandwich was yummy. The burger and the ribs were both overcooked. So, they could use a bit more consistency in the kitchen.
On to the drinks… they have a pretty decent craft beer menu and cheap domestics are almost always on a deal. They also have a full bar with wine and booze. Prices are reasonable.
They also have a thousand tvs showing all the regular sports and we’ve accidentally stopped in on fight nights too. If you like sports, this is a good place to go.

Great Sports bar… but don’t expect great food. They have a great beer list with lot’s of local craft beers, I really like the atmosphere, lot’s of TV’s, lot’s of servers and they do a great job. But like most sports bars the food is only decent. I had the gyro platter and there was lot’s of meat but it was really dry. My son had a Philly cheese steak and said it was just ok, and we both agreed that the fries weren’t good.
But if you’re going to a sorts bar you’re not going for the food and all the things you do go to a sports bar for, they do a really good job at.

I was very curious to check out Draft Picks since I live nearby, so my husband and I anxiously awaited their opening. We finally made our way over there last Saturday and were very happy with our visit.
First off, this place is huge. I’m happy to see they’ve taken full advantage of the space with a large bar, plenty of tables, and tons of TVs. I’ve been to this location when it was another bar and a Mexican restaurant. Really hoping Draft Picks sticks around despite the venue’s history!
They offer an extensive beer list, full bar, and enticing bar food menu. To start we had the pretzel bites with cheddar cheese sauce ($ 7.95). Pretty good, but a little too much salt for my liking.
I ordered the Draft Picks Burger ($ 11.95) which includes a 10 oz burger, avocado, chihuahua cheese, lettuce, tomato & chipotle mayo on a brioche bun. It comes with your choice of side — fries or cole slaw, and a pickle. Or you can substitute seasoned waffle fries, tater tots or onion rings (add $ 1). Or go the healthiest route and add a side salad for $ 2. I went with the waffle fries (with a side of ranch for dipping) which were very good. Guess I’ll be healthier next time around?
My burger sounded and looked a lot more amazing than it actually was to be honest. Don’t get me wrong, it was good, but nothing extraordinary. Hubbie had the turkey burger (lettuce, tomato & chipotle mayo) and added an egg on top. He chose onion rings for his side. No complaints there.
Our waitress was nice and checked in on us pretty often. Our bill was a little more than we expected, but we did upgrade our sides and add to our burgers so that’s probably why.
We will definitely be back to catch a game, or more importantly a UFC fight since my husband is a huge fan.

Rumour has it this restaurant has been several other iterations in its past. Believe it or not a coupon clipper as got it on out Friday Date night radar. First thing that struck me coming out of the bitter cold wax the warmth perfect for a night like tonight. Beer (not my thing but very much my college age kids) is varied and numerous. Menu straight forward with many choices. I had the Firecracker Chicken sandwich– buffalo chicken blue cheese and another cheese. Normally when you order this its soaked in blue cheese sauce you need a knife and fork to eat it. Not here. Perfect to eat with your hands. Wine list is a little limited– I know Sports themed bar/​pub– but I’m really nitpicking. Wife had the gyro sandwich and gave it an 8. Daughter had the steak wrap– a 6. Best review is we will definitely return

I enjoyed this place very much, it’s the same owners of Rancheros but a sports bar in this location makes way more sense, it’s huge, big bar as soon as u walk in, daily specials and a decent size menu with bar type food. Our bartender was super nice, funny and attentive. I just ordered the pretzel bites with cheese sauce but I loved them, very yummy, my friend ordered a burger with waffle fries and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned, she was rather pleased as well. I also ordered a few jack and cokes and some shots, my jack and Coke was made perfectly and shots with training wheels and all! (Don’t judge o need the salt and lime lol) over all I’m glad this place is in walking distance, it will be nice to just walk here and unwind after a long work week, great job guys!

This was my second time here at Draft Picks. The first time I had Saganaki and it was good. There’s no way to ruin that. I don’t judge on service because I am not one of those people who care for promptness. I like to enjoy myself at the restaurant and not rush. But I do judge the food. I ordered the chopped salad and it was not that great. It was more of a macaroni salad than an actual salad. There were more macaroni shells than there was lettuce or veggies. Plus it’s called chopped salad, at least chop up the macaroni pasta. Also the bacon bits was clumped up together and frozen. It was not good. Not sure if I will give this another chance. If I do, I might have to try something else like the pizza or something.

This place isn’t bad, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. I live down the street and it’s decent enough food if you live west of Rt 59 and want to avoid the congestion in that area.
I got take out one day and my chicken sandwich was over cooked to the point that all I tasted was the burnt skin. Fries were just normal frozen fries that one would expect from a sports bar. I came back a couple weeks later and dined in. It was a Saturday afternoon and almost completely empty. I ordered fries and wings which were actually pretty good. Glad I gave them a second chance. The service wasn’t that great though. I was the only table this waitress had but it still took forever to get refills and the check. I can see myself returning since I live so close, otherwise I wouldn’t make a special trip.

I was DEFINITELY pleasantly surprised by my experience at this restaurant. My husband and I live very close by and have been waiting for the «Opening Soon» sign to change to «Now Open.» We stopped by for a late lunch on a Sunday during a Bears game and split the nachos and some very large beers. The nachos were FANTASTIC — they do them with chili, which is my favorite. The waitress was very good about answering our questions and got us beer samples when they were requested. There’s a ton of stuff on the menu that I want to try, so we’ll definitely be back. It seemed like they had a ton of different specials depending on the day of the week, so that will probably guide future menu decision making.
The main room was busy and loud. As I had mentioned, the Bears game was on and they were doing some sort of Bears Bingo, which sounded like fun. As a Steelers fan, we opted for the side room which was much quieter. They had TVs all around the room with a ton of different games on. You could just sit facing the game you wanted and enjoy!
I am pleased that this place turned into such a nice bar. It looks kind of shady on the outside because they really didn’t do a very good job with the remodel. It’s still got the tacky Tex Mex thing going on from when it was Rancheros, but seriously give it a shot! It’s a great place to watch a sports game, or grab a reasonably priced but delicious bite to eat.

I posted a review under the wrong location (more info under the other location) This place was terrible, service was horrible and they served my family regular buns when we require gluten free due to Celiac Disease. They assured us the buns were gluten free, they didn’t look right, so when we asked another waitress she said «all of our buns are gluten free.»
We immediately stopped eating and called for the manager who knew they screwed up.
My daughter with severe Celiac became extremely ill within 45 minutes of leaving. I called the manager and left a message and never called me back, must not be too concerned with screwing things up.
Avoid this dump…

Excellent food, service and drink/​food specials every day!!! Over 25 different yummy beers on tap. Tons of great appetizers: wings, nachos, fried zucchini, pork and cheeseburger sliders.
Fresh salads, BBQ ribs, chicken sandwiches, Athenian Gyros Off-​the-​Spit, burgers (½ off burgers on Thursday’s)
Service is wonderful! Our server Stephanie was very attentive to all of our needs and enthusiastic.
The managers were also attentive! It’s very refreshing to see them walk around and make sure their customers are satisfied and happy with everything. I will definitely be going back!!!
