The Nighthawk

The food is unreal how good it is!! The vibe was so much fun! Service was great, food came out quick! We will most definitely be back!!

The bartender is drunk and rude. Doesn't make drinks. There is a random old man who thinks he's a bouncer and just stares at you. Customers get wasted and leave in dangerous conditions. Hated the vibe. It has a lot of potential but poorly managed.

Limited menu but the pork belly and chicken wings are worth ordering all the time. They make whatever drink you like. Very relaxed atmosphere and walking distance from brick offices. Service is appreciative and they are attentive. Not just this bar but any open at night place in Downtown needs to feel safer/secure.

Such good food! Reminds me of the mainland. The owner was behind the bar and was so friendly. The Chicago dog is different if you're not used to it, but it was delicious. We also got the wings with chili sauce.The reason why I took a star off is just the price. Everything on the menu is pretty heftyIf you're eating with 2, expect to pay $45-$60 minimum. Would recommend though, they have a copy of the nighthawk painting hanging on the wall.

A co-worker and I stopped in for lunch ... we wanted a libation and to sample some of the other items on the menu. This time, we tried the gyros sandwich and the hamburger steak plate. The gyros was hearty, tasty and very filling. I thought I'd be hungry when it was delivered because it looked small ... It wasn't. Lots of meat, veggies and tzatziki sauce. Yummy!The hamburger steak plate was interesting ... a mound of rice, a hamburger patty, grilled onions and gravy ... So far, normal. Now, add a cut up hotdog and a container of pickles. Hmmm, what have we here? If I had ordered this, I would have asked for French fries in place of the rice.The real value at Nighthawk are the drinks ... $7 for a Bombay Sapphire gin & tonic or a Jameson on the rocks. The same drinks are twice the price at a nearby bar & grill. We had more than one ....Service is great; the owner is friendly and accommodating. Thank you!

I was craving some tacos this evening and encore saloon was the first place that came to mind but sadly another (Italian/Asian fusion) restaurant/bar took over the space. So we went to nighthawk instead. It's nice to see that they're open until midnight this evening on a weekday. I do enjoy the ambiance-- it may get loud due to the surround sound system but i personally like it and i enjoy singing out loud to the music even though no one could hear me lol. Owner was cool, working the bar as usual. Although, i only came here for one crave which were tacos. I enjoyed the carne asada and carnitas tacos! Kind of wish they were bigger ':D for $3-4 each. The wait time just to order our food was unnecessarily longer than expected. I understand that uncle is working the bar but what happened to "I'll be right back?" Or where are the rest of your staff to help outside of the kitchen? If it's just him, then kudos but there's an opportunity to improve on time management. Waited about 15-20 minutes just to get him to come to the table and memorize what we verbally ordered. As we waited for another 15-20 minutes for the food to come out (it was only 4 small tacos and 1 burrito...), thankfully there was some tv entertainment that distracted us in the meantime. Despite all of the others times that I've visited nighthawk, I've never experienced this kind of service until today. I did not feel as valued as the customers who sat at the high top bar. He catered to them more than the customers who simply just wanted to order food. Even though i did not feel like ordering a drink tonight, I'm a customer too. I'm just here for the food. The tacos were overall simply good. I wish their spicy sauce was a little more spicier but that's ok. The tacos are the average price that you can pay anywhere else for tacos but there's no special wow factor to these ones. Also i don't think if it's just the table or the table material but it felt like our table was not cleaned before getting seated.

I have walked by here several times but never stopped. After searching YELP for a buffalo wing place I recognized The Nighthawk name and read the reviews and decided that it was time to stop and get some wings. Saturday afternoon and a good crowd there, the bar had a few of the college games on and it was a friendly atmosphere. I ordered buffalo wings to go and had a beer. The food is fresh and tasty. They serve the wings with a ranch dressing and some spicy sweet pickles chips. I recommend the wings and The Nighthawk. I think my next order I will see if they can fry them a little longer just because that is how u like them. Bartender was great.

Chicago, the Windy City!!!Very friendly and understanding to the crowd.Best bar in town! Nothing else needs to be said

Definitely a go to dish fried pork belly delicious! Hit they up the owner Eddie and Jill are the best super nice people ! Support local!!!

I felt like I was back in Chicago during the visit. The food was great and everything was perfect. We had Italian beef sandwich, Chicago style hotdog, and gyro. They were playing some sports on TV and have free arcade games for the customers. The server/ bartender had a great attitude and services. The bartender told me that they play the bears game live so I am looking forward to join them this season. Great food, service and ambiance! Parking was at the Chinatown municipal parking and it was reasonably priced.
