I wanted something small because I wanted to taste other items in Chicago. They told me ICould order a smaller portion. Once I sat down the waiter said, nope can't do that and was kind of rude about it. Food is not worth the price. Only a bit of fries and hardly any coleslaw. And they don't offer tapWater or refills.

This place is horrible The staff seemed annoyed to have to serve us. They won't give you water with your meal unless you want to pay for sparking The food was disgusting and overpriced. The fries were under cooked and the bread was far from fresh At least it had a good view.

As others have said here... you're just paying for prime real estate being next to the River Walk and River itself. The drinks were ordered here were not great. My Paloma was one of the worst I've had in a long time. Very watered down and not much alcohol in there. Our server was ok - a little awkward but overall fine. Not sure I'd return knowing how my experience was.

Best margarita I've had in a while. Maybe because it was hot outside and I was thirsty. I love sitting there on the river, people-watching, and seeing the boats go by as I sip my beverage. And our server was very attentive with good service.

You're just paying for the Beautiful view of the river. Food was below avg but charge you fancy restaurant price. The basic fish and chips was below avg that we basically didn't finish. The sandwich was tasteless and they put an individual packet salad sauce on the plate like the ones you get from Mariano's salad bar. No tap water provided. Only bottled water for $3.5 :) weather was beautiful though.

Service was excellent - thank you to our server and sorry I missed your name. Drinks were fresh and although having just returned from the UK where the dish a a staple to say the least, the fish and chips hit the spot! Only negative were the pigeons but what can you do- except folks do t feed them! Cheers!

This place only exists because of its location on the river and about to capture unsuspecting tourist. If it was anywhere else it would go under. They don't serve water. I ordered a Bloody Mary. It was basically water with a light orange tint. I think they put a splash of Bloody Mary mix in it. Food quality is poor also.

Staff seemed like they hated their jobs. Food quality resembled a hole in the wall pub and the only water they wanted to sell me was bottled water. View was nice but other than that, very disappointed. What a waste of a dining experience on my families visit to Chicago.

We decided on O'Briens during our recent visit to Chicago and the riverwalk. It's a popular choice for many, being right in the heart of things. The service was fair, food was alright, except the steak sandwich was overcooked. Asked for medium rare and it was well done. The sliders were good. Only real gripe was I had looked up their menu online and it showed a corned beef sandwich, but they no longer serve those apparently. Our server explained it must have been an old menu from their old location. It's a nice place to sit back for a while and watch boat traffic on the river and of course people watch. Add in some sunny weather, a cold drink and you can't beat it.

Wagu beef Burgers ??? Looks like they bought it from Costco, salmon salad, definetly not fresh. Not worth the price for sure, beautiful location with crappy food and premium prices.
