    Perfect Saturday brunch! The location, food, and cocktails were amazing. The hostess was a bit snooty, but the servers were great. Definitely recommend for a weekend brunch!

    If you are inclined, go for the 10 oz double patty cheeseburger with organic beef. Big, tasty, and char-broiled. So big you may want to skip the appetizers and order a side salad.

    The bacon pancake is incredible, humongous, and delicious! Who know they made pans & plates that large? Bonus: a terrific view on the water.

    With views overlooking the Chicago river, Bridge House Tavern is everything we want in a brunch spot—affordable, beautiful, and has an outstanding patio! Read more

    Try the Bridge House Burger from our 100 Best list: This burger is rebellious in its restraint, classic in its conception and on-point in its execution. None of that keeps it from being enormous.

    During summer time, try to grab a seat outside because it has fantastic views of the City. Tavern tots are a must.

    Great food, great service, great drinks, and great music playing on the stereo! Was the perfect spot for a late lunch after exploring Chicago.

    Great food, great atmosphere, service was ok. Waiter was very friendly but host and hostess seemed aloof. Free dessert (cheesecake) for checking in was delicious!

    Love the relaxing Saturday brunch. Never loud and just amazing, reasonably priced food! Share some things as the portions are huge.

    Name is somewhat deceptive as it's more of a riverfront restaurant. Burger is massive and tasty, fries are crisped to perfection, wedge salad is great. Sit on the water.

    Chicken avocado rolls are good. River views and outdoor dining is wonderful in good weather.

    Awesome river front seating, great brunch and brunch cocktails. I'd avoid the green goddess salad. It was meh.

    The most knowing diners here go light on appetizers and save room for the massive double-cut pork chop ($29), a flavor-packed (plenty of fat around the edges), buttery-soft piece of pig. Read more

    Uninspired beer selection with typical pretentious gastro pub fare. Nice outdoor patio on the river.

    If you're thinking about getting the free desert, don't stop by the old bait and switch here the manager made us so uncomfortable by telling us that we needed to buy something. Put it in special then!

    The chicken salad with almonds on a pretzel baguette is awesome. Make sure you have a reservation on Saturday night.

    I wouldn't come back here for the sole reason they let the guys go on there boat, expected me to move, and didn't so much as say sorry.

    They don't seat incomplete parties on the patio. Are we in New York or what? Be considerate, this is Chicago!
