Schoemehl’s South Side Grill

Yet another bar/​restaurant with female bartenders who completely ignore the female customers. Why oh why? That’s just stupid. My stoli sat unrefilled for 60 minutes so I left. I would have drank & spent more but apparently you are invisible as a female here.

Had the Special, a wonderful pulled pork chimichanga, just the right amount of heat!!!
I highly recommend it.

This place seems to have a new name. I won’t comment on the service since they were short staffed except to say they didn’t handle the challenge very well. I got the signature salad and was completely disappointed. The chicken was supposed to be smoked but instead they just threw a little paprika on some cold prechopped chicken pieces. This salad was beyond bland. I tried my friends fries that looked promising but they were under seasoned significantly. My margarita was decent.

We didn’t try the food, but it all looked delicious! I got a Coke and we ordered a few beers. The service was great and parking was really easy to find. They had live music there and it was entertaining (though a bit loud to hold a conversation in).
We’ll be back, and be sure to try the food out!

It was a warm summer day out with MomC (mother 77 years old) and my gf=Beth. Our waitress Alex was super awesome — checking on usout on the patio often. There was shade and a great breeze. We actually stayed about 2 ½ hours. The chef came out and greeted us and made her recommendations — perfect. We tried the smoked gouda mac n’ cheese bites — yummmy… we almost licked the sauce dishes clean. Beth had a burger that was topped with an onion ring and pulled pork — yum. MomC and I split a huge salad that was perfect on a hot summer day. There are drink specials during the game. Everything is made from scratch. The pitmaster was at work preparing for a Saturday crowd. We will be back. The food is great. The service is awesome (Alex you rock). Most important this is part of our community. Places like this make our neighborhoods better and provide much needed employment opportunities!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Headed here the other night to see if there really was a bar in this area that was worth the trip. To me, this just seems like a nice neighborhood bar that is a bit more upscale than most around here… but that’s about it.
Our waitress was a bit inexperienced, but she was nice enough. There is a full bar, but she didn’t think they served red wine… later returned to say they had Merlot… but she didn’t know what kind. :) I passed and just ordered a rum and diet.
We started off with the wings since we read a lot of good things about them. They were very unusual looking… and huge. These were made with older chickens, and looked like duck wings (see photo). They did have a good taste, even though they were a bit of work to eat.
I also wanted to try the house chips (which btw are not on the menu anywhere that I could see) and I’m glad that I did since they were really good. I added the Jamaican sauce as recommended and yum!
We considered leaving and eating someplace else, but it was raining so we decided to hang out and ordered the nachos. These are large and have corn and black beans and I will say that the toppings were very good… but the chips were a bit stale. We did manage to eat the whole plate though…:)
We stopped w/​the nachos and sat around a bit during their karaōke night. This wasn’t too busy, so if you had a big karaōke crowd of friends, this might be the place to go… no waiting!
Unfortunately we didn’t taste or experience anything to warrant a return visit.

The food is solid. I especially love their avocado cream salad dressing! So good. This place is a great neighborhood bar, and the staff is super friendly! They remember us. It’s also a great place to catch a game on TV.
If you’re in the neighborhood, go for cheap drinks, good food, and a «neighborhood» bar feel.

This place is a hidden gem off the beaten path! We first discovered it because my bf began working nearby and we pass it all the time. The place is very nicely decorated. Tall ceilings, wood floors, clean restrooms. The food is awesome. They have constantly changing daily specials that are always a hit. The drink prices are beyond reasonable. Their patio is huge and inviting. We have yet to be there in the summertime, but they keep a fire pit going all thru the colder months. All of their staff is super friendly. The owners, especially Greg, always come up and greet us. We spent our New Years here and were very happy with our decision! This place is near Melt and Ivory Coast Bistro in a cute little area of the up and coming Patch neighborhood. If you are looking for something new, you should try it out. You won’t be disappointed!
