I've read many reviews from customers of this restaurant that raved about the Fish and Chips so I had to try. I'm glad I did, the fish is crispy and flavorful. I must admit the batter and fish was seasoned very well. The customer service was phenomenal, I was greeted at the door and again when I walked up to the bar. I will definitely be back.

I actually really enjoyed Randolph Tavern and was surprised by the low yelp score. It is a very large bar / restaurant close the theater district making it a great option for a casual / lower cost bite before a show.I enjoyed their cocktails which seemed will crafted. The menu is very much bar / tavern style food (not surprising given the name). The portions are HUGE and I easily shared a single buffalo wrap across two people.The service was great here! I came with a large group (10+ people), and we never needed to flag a waiter to be served and the food came in a timely fashion.I highly recommend this spot if your looking for a more casual option downtown. It seemed like it would be good for happy hours, pre-show meals, and just drinks and bites with friends.

I'm surprised to see only 3 star love for this venue... tonight was packed. Service was on point considering how packed the tavern is. I stoped by for a quick bite since I had work emails galore to tend to. Friends, go for the shrimp tacos! It is delish!

Great food and good service. We had a 5:30 reservation at the restaurant and were done with plenty of time for a show across the street. I was skeptical of trying the brisket but was very glad that I did.

It was ok. Service and drinks were great. Food was fair. Salad was pretty flavorless and salmon was undercooked. Sorbet was very good! It's a fine spot for casual dining but nothing worth returning to. I'd say it's in line with reviews from other yelpers on here.

Checked this out with a few coworkers. It was a good place for happy hour. Randolph Tavern is one of the hip old style bars in The Loop, with a bit of a modern feel as well. Gets pretty packed especially on weekdays at lunch and during the evenings. The prices are pretty high on most things but that's about typical for location. A benefit of the location is it's easy to get to things from here. It's just a ways from the theaters and close to a few museums. This place is known for its many beers on tap, and the drinks are what keep people coming back because the food isn't impressive for the high prices. Expensive drinks and food. Way too high on most things. It's about $10 for a whiskey, and that's the cheapest shit. We actually liked the food, but it was too expensive for the portions we all thought. For the appetizer it was the Jalapeño Hummus. It's about $14 for a plate. This came with pitas and vegetables. Okay but not worth all that honestly. The hummus had good flavor and the vegetables were crispy and fresh at least. Good item for a little sharing among a few. The hummus had some kind of secret spices and while I couldn't tell what these could be, I can tell you these were all good. Even though prices are high, it's a pretty cool ass bar. It's like it has an old school charm but it's also modern. The prices are the only bad thing.

This is right across the street from the Cadillac Theater so we decided to give it a try. Granted, we had a group of seven but we gave a ourselves plenty of time.... about two hours.The restaurant is large with various sitting areas. Our group was placed towards the back of the restaurant, which was fine with us. The server did greet us within 10 minutes after we were seated. We all ordered a drink. When she returned, we thought we better order right away..... glad we did. We had ordered various items, between salads and burgers from the good size menu. I had ordered the Chicken Ceasar Salad. About 30 minutes, the meals were finally delivered. I agree with other reviewers, the service is on the slower side. Overall, it seemed all of us enjoyed our meals. Yes, we did have to rush out of the restaurant to catch the musical. Good food but slow service.

The best place to stop before a show. Service is quick and friendly and the shrimp tacos are my favorite thing in the world. Can get a little loud but that's to be expected for a bar restaurant.

Great lunch spot in the loop. It doesn't get crowded so we got a seat right away. Had the steak skillet from the daily specials last time I was here. It was super tasty and not bad for $16. The salad selections are also super decent.
