First time visit. Everyone was wonderful! Great selection of sandwiches and teas.

John is an EXCELLENT server. We had great service all evening! Such an awesome experience!!

Yummy barbecue joint with a variety of drinks available. Great place for a fun party. The staff easily accommodated our group of 8 without a reservation so we were very lucky! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and enjoyed it! I recommend adding extra sauce (that they provide) to eat bite. The music is kindof loud so if you have a big group it might be hard to hear the person at the other end of the table. Staff are super patient and polite, we had great service!

Listen here's what you need to do on a date night in Chicago. Look up Three Dots and a Dash bar and go there for a couple drinks. Once imbided, walk around the corner for the best brisket grilled cheese of your entire life, and then take public transport back to hotel. Also a great, not crowded lunch spot.

If I could go back, I would! Chicken wings were great, pulled pork, cucumber salad, baked beans and more. A feast to be had. I am very confused on why this rating is not higher. My experience was the best! My coworkers and I got to have a last dinner in Chicago when our flight was delayed an extra day. Our server was so personable, there happened to be a live band that night (I think it was ‘Sun Fallen’) The food was outstanding. I wish I could say I know I could visit again but I am not sure when I will return to Chicago.

First timers. Food was great! Chili was an excellent choice suggested by our server DJ. He was very helpful and attentive. Overall a great experience.

Food is delicious! Really great portions and yummy flavor! Service is fast kind and attentive. The atmosphere is what it is; loud, country. 'Murican. Lol.

Tiffany took great care of us at the bar. Been here a few times now. Always a great experience. Good food a great selection of hard to find whiskeys.
