Gatsby’s Pizza & Pub

Too many tv’s ! The tv’s overwhelm you. Pizza is ok. The bar is ok. But the overall experience is fair at best.

This place is like a high school reunion. The service is hit or miss. It does get busy at night and on the weekends. The food took forever last time. They have karaōke too.

My boyfriend and his family eat here all the time, and when we come back to visit we usually will eat here.
Drinks: the drinks here are awesome! The bartenders are great and make the drinks pretty strong, so I feel like we get what we pay for! I especially like their Bloody Mary.
Food: the food is alright; some of the dishes could definitely be improved. I am a fan of the chicken avocado melt, and we always get the loaded cheese fries which are a family favorite. My boyfriend really enjoys the skirt steak sandwich, but I find the meat they use to be too tough and hard to eat for that particular sandwich.
All in all it is an awesome place to come for dinner and drinks!

Was refused service here because of my out-​of-​state ID… She asked if I had my passport with me as proof. In a bar. On my way home from work.
I’m from Wisconsin, not Norway. Why would I be carrying around my passport, and why is my drivers license not good enough proof?

Solid bar and pub fare with decent pizza. The servers are always great, but a place to go for trivia night or to watch a game, not the food.

Use to come here a long time ago, when I was younger and it was fine and dandy… Decided to check it out again two weeks ago. As you walk in, the smell of cheese is almost enough to make you vomit. The service was beyond slow and the food wasn’t worth the price. We ordered saganaki, as an appetizer the server lit it up but when i went to cut it, it was frozen inside. He took it back, came back and said they would take it off the bill. Then he came back a few minutes later with the now re-​heated saganaki, it tasted rubbery and half of it was inedible. Had I known that the Greek Owner’s plan was that if we ate it we’d pay for it I would have sent it back and had no part of it. But we tried to eat the reheated cheese… and were charged the full amount when we received the bill. I feel bad for the waitstaff to have to deal with such a cheap, inconsiderate person as an owner. Hey… I’m greek too, but I wouldn’t screw up a customers order and then bring it back re-​heated tasting like rubber only to charge them the full amount for it, which ten dollars! Oh, we also had pizza… 22 dollars for a 14 inch two topping pizza is highway robbery. So, I won’t soon be going back to this establishment.

Bad food and bad drinks. Chicken on club wrap tasted spoiled. Awful seasoning couldn’t cover it up. Lettuce on my wrap also about as dead and lifeless as I’ve ever seen.
Waitress wouldn’t let me send it back for something else. No iced tea because someone forgot to brew tea the night before. Fries had about as much flavor as the napkins.
Brutally bad. Penny pinching and disorganized management at work here.

Funky smell that made me move. Originally sat towards the back. Moved to a booth but i still could smell something but fainter.
Took quite some time for a person to ask if i wanted something to drink. About 10 minutes. Took another 10 to get my ice tea. Took about another 10 to place my order. Geezealoo.
Overall the meal was ok ⁶⁄₁₀ but took forever. The place might have been ¾ full.
Forever.
Not going back.

I would not recommend this restaurant. My friends and I went there last week. I had their Hawaiian pizza, and it was really bad. This is a pizza I have eaten in various restaurants, and this one was definitely the worst I have ever tried — dry, an overpowering taste of ketchup. My friend had a wrap which was half frozen inside. The music was deafening, very difficult to talk to people. The server was friendly, but she was busy and overwhelmed. She mixed up our orders, and was difficult to get a hold on. I will never come back to this place.

My husband and I took my cousin and her husband here to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs. It was fun! The red siren lights were my favorite. It kind of had a townie bar feel. The service was decent. I believe the server was trying her best, but she kept forgetting to bring out our drinks. The Green Line beer I ordered tasted like crap. I sent it back saying it was old and they came back and confirmed it was the last glass and they were changing out the keg. Maybe it is a less popular drink here, but I couldn’t believe they actually served it to me. There are no vegan items on the menu, which really didn’t surprise me, but that would be a great move on their part. I ended up getting a veg pizza and just held the cheese (I love cheese, but have an intolerance). Even getting Daiya or another cheese alternative would be fantastic. They also raffled off hockey jerseys, which my cousin’s husband actually won. The uncomfortable part about that is that we are pretty sure it was a knock off because we saw a price tag with 10 yen (the Japanese dollar) on it. Woof.

The GT crowd is not the easiest to deal with based on the sheer amount of drinks they order and fact they will occupy a bar from open to close for 4 days straight. The staff made this seamless. Never waited on food or drinks and those drinking water and ordering pizza were treated the same as the groups posting up for hours of shots. By far the cleanest a bar has been over the duration of a GT tourney and to echo the quality didn’t go down when the place was packed with Hawks fans. Didn’t eat much (mistake) the pizza and Italian beef sandwich were very good and great prices on the specials. Well done ladies.

Okay, I get how busy Hawks games get, but 1.5 hours for nachos? Nachos? Not to mention that we had a booth saved from a couple (seeing as how everything was taken) onlu to have the owner/​manager tell us that it was «reserved» along with three other open tables. He was extremely rude in his delivery of telling us about the reserved tables. And who denies present paying customers for those who might showup? This place kinda ruins itself by its customer service.

I came here the other night with a friend to grab some quick food and drinks and go to a Paint Nite. We ended up just sitting at the bar talking the entire night (oops). The atmosphere is not my favorite — a little dark and almost divy. There was a group of very intoxicated people that were pretty obnoxious (apparently they were like that when they got there, and eventually they left).
We sat at the bar. At first the bartender was not very friendly. We ordered a few beers, and then I ordered the chicken tenders. One of the tenders was not cooked all the way through. I nicely let the bartender know. At first she didn’t say anything, but later apologized and gave us a free drink for being nice about the situation. I did not have to pay for them either. She said that usually the chicken tenders are cooked through, but these happened to be bigger than usual. I got the nachos instead, and those were good (and big, I couldn’t finish them all). It is your typical bar food at a cheap price. They also have good drink specials, and a decent amount of beers on tap.
They had trivia going on, but I’m not sure how many people were actually playing. They have TVs everywhere so you can watch a game or something else. Overall it is alright, but it wouldn’t be my first pick for a handout or dinner.

Ok food. I like the atmosphere and all the tvs. Good drink prices as well. Service… not the best. We had a group of only 6 and the server didn’t like that we asked for separate tickets it and gave us attitude. Is that too much to ask? Is it that difficult? We also received our food at different times, like one person was almost finished eating by the time someone else got their meal. I find that odd.
I have ate here multiple times and this has been consistent behavior. Another weird thing is I have ordered deep dish pizza here twice. One time it was just a little thicker thin crust, not your traditional Chicago deep dish. The next time, still not Chicago deep deep but significantly thicker, maybe double the size. There is an inconsistency of food.
Overall go there to drink and watch a game but don’t expect a great experience with service if you order food or have a group.

Good food, great beer. Friendly environment! Gotta go in there during a hawks game, so much fun!

80 tvs and bomb food… always my go to! Love Gats! Marc is the best! Get the fries, always on point! The best place to come for a game or trivia on Thursdays!

The food is great and the people are chill. Great Greek place to go to or just to hang.

I’ve been coming to gatsbys since forever, I have never been more pleased with a local bar in my life. If you love trivia you have to come on Thursdays!!!
Best guacamole not at a Mexican restaurant!
Killer pizza
80 TVs that will most definitely have the game you’re looking to watch!
Fave bar ever!!!

Probably the best bar in the area. They have over 80 tv’s and good «bar food». I would say their food is far above par. The bartenders and waitresses really take care of you, you can tell they have experience.
They’ll even call a cab for you if you’re trashed enough that you need such a service — can’t say I haven’t been there.
Moving on…
They have a shit load of tv’s and a lot of seating. The place is bigger than you will expect. Has a somewhat younger crowd at night on the weekends.
Cheers!

Ok, I’ll start with the positiv part: I had an amazing Margerita in here! Didn’t have such a great one in a long, long time… BUT:
I freaking HATE unfriendly, irritated bartender with a bad temper!!! There is no excuse for such a behavior. Me as a customer don’t wanna see faces with a bad mood behind a bar. Just stay home and don’t annoy fellows around you. Or, just get another job if you are not able to deliver friendly service…
So basically, that behavior ruined everything for me. Even if the Margerita was great, we’re not coming back!
