Well… this place very bad service and over priced food who pays for horrible food bad quality. We ordered Garlic bread and it had mold on it and the lady waitress didn’t want to take it back we had to ask 4 times finally got a new one the cheese for the fries came out cold and tasted like old cheese don’t eat it fries were the only thing that you can’t mess up the wings are bad Buffalo Wild Wings is way better and they have 65 cent wings and better quality and service. I ordered some pop came out flat so I changed it for a tea and that tasted like a Chicago sewer so I had to walk to the cvs and buy my own drinks. The pizza we ate tasted like plastic sucked too. Please take my advice stay away from this place don’t not waist your money or time.

Five star on food — the place was decent. Had the hot wings(split with someone) which were amazing and then had the Buffalo Burger, wow!!! It was awesome, huge, spicy, fries were great… I was stuffed! Great meal, kinda simple on the atmosphere & dark. Felt like a place where the same guys hang out for afternoon beers every day.

I’ve been in Brookfield over 12 years and I’m kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. The cheeseburger and chicken sandwich were both incredibly delicious. The service was excellent. The beer was cold. Will definitely go back!

A great looking neighborhood bar. I made a mistake ordering frog legs which was icky but the food I saw others ding on looked real good. This bar has a back area with table seat g and other dining areas away from the bar. The bar is small but has a more home feeling something you will never get from Buffalo Wild Wins or some other boring chain. This is a fun place to be inside.

One of my favorite places to go for lunch in the Brookfield area. Great food, decent beer selection, and several Tvs to watch whatever you’d like. Small town feel to it which I enjoy. Highly recommend this place as an alternative to Buffalo Wild Wings.

Off Broadway’s website says: happy hour! Free pizza 4−6pm! Leinies on Thursdays for $ 2.25! Both lies. We paid $ 3 each for the beers, the waitress was condescending and rude… barstools and tables were extremely and disgustingly sticky and dirty… their fries were nothing to write home about … and we waited til 5:30 for the«free pizza». Never happened. Never going back again.

I’ve heard the food was good here, so I bought a groupon to try it. This place is a total dive, but it has many loyal patrons. Street parking was easy to find. When I walked in, I was immediately assaulted by the smell of the bathroom– not good. I went to sit in the back with a friend, and thankfully, the smell did not reach that far. We both ordered burgers– I had the bacon and cheese burger. Comes with fries and 4 measly pickle slices. The burger was flavorless even with the cheese and bacon on it. I didn’t know bacon could have no flavor too! It’s my own fault for not saying anything, but it just wasn’t good. Its known for its wings, which I’m thinking I should’ve tried. I was there on a Thursday and the place was dead. Service was good! Couldn’t make up for that stench and poor food though, which was still there when we left. Ick. I don’t think I’d go back.

My family and I have been customers here for years. The wings are great and the pizza is good. However, after some recent experiences, I’m fed up. The past two times we attempted to order pizzas we were unable to. First, we tried ordering an 18″ pizza last weekend and were told we’d have to wait an hour and a half because they are only equipped to cook two pizzas at a time or something like that. Which, while frustrating, is still a bit understandable. Tonight, however, was mindboggling. We called to order a pizza and were told that they weren’t cooking pizzas today because it was too hot in their kitchen. I can’t even begin to comprehend this from a business standpoint, especially since today marked the return of football season and I’d imagine they would probably move a decent number of pizzas. Anyway, after these experiences, we’re moving on and seeking a new go-to pizzaria. Maybe one that actually wants to earn money.

Good olé Groupon. We went here during a Hawks v. Bruins championship game. When we got there, I was confused what these people were doing with Groupon. It was a pretty divey dive bar. The front of the building seems like the original structure with a dining room edition on the back. Just like other reviews, the lights were pretty dim back there. The front was bright and welcoming, but full from the Hawks game. We unfortunately sat in the back next to the trashiest people EVER! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE dive bars. While confused, I was pretty excited to be here. The group next to us were all older 20s, and they were the type of people that thought that they were so interesting, EVERYONE needed to hear their conversation which included one loud mad trying to convince the two girls to kiss THEENTIRETIME! And their various drunk driving experiences. Why is this relevant, you ask? Because for me(and I think others?) a big part of the dive experience is people watching. These people were so irritating I wanted to run away screaming. Also, we got there around 9:30 pm and there were children there while their guardians drank beer! I would think it’s a little late for children to be allowed in a bar? These kids were next to the crazy obscene people, so… great environment for them. Anyway, the waitress was really nice, but frequently absent. I will put that off to the Hawks and the annoying people next to us. Our food was standard bar fare. Nothing special, but pretty cheap. They have some amazing specials that we weren’t allowed to get with our Groupon. If I were to go again, I would indulge in their awesome specials and sit in the front.

Came back again for a birthday celebration, and experienced more mediocrity. This time I had the lovely experience of dining in the back room. I wish someone told me we should bring a flashlight. We were the first ones seated for the evening and thought they forgot to turn the lights on. When we asked, the waitress explained that this was as bright as it was going to get because the lights were broken. It sounded like they had been out for a while, and there was no urgency to fix them. The apps were pretty typical and nothing extraordinary. The pizza burger was decent, but not sure why they make it with grilled onions. Once again, the only thing that stood out was their beer selection.

I live within walking distance of this place. Just moved in recently and have been here now a few times. The prices are good, the food is above average, they have a good selection of beer, the service is great and the pizza is good. It’s an old place with a lot of character. I will definitely continue to go back.

Good ass hot wings with fries that seemed breaded… real good. The bar section was noisy with an older crowd. But if your looking for more laid back there is a room towards the back with a fireplace & tv more relaxed.

I give this place 4 stars because their wings are the best I have ever had. I get them every week. Eating in is ok. There is like 2 ladies there that are phenomenal at their job. The others really just make the place feel down and miserable. It’s a total dive bar. The back room is always nice and quiet in my opinion. I am not picky and it’ s comfortable to me. One bartender there makes the best jack and coke and the other bartender was terrible. I don’t like my drinks dinky and watered down with ice. If I am spending 5 $ on a drink atleast give me a reason to tip you. All in all I love the food. Best there is locally for wings. Everyone should try them. Hot wings and Honey BBQ are the best!

Nothing fancy or overly friendly about this place. It’s a neighborhood joint full of neighborhood folks. I was here on a Sunday afternoon and there were about 20 people in the bar, mostly white men in their 40−60s drinking beer and talking amongst themselves. Basketball was on the handful of flat screens throughout. I was here for an order of wings not to make friends or socialize. I took a table in the backroom, which was easy to do since there was only one other person back there. I’m a bit of a wing freak. I prefer classic Buffalo style over smoked, bbq or other flavored types. I like my wings with carrots, celery and blue cheese dressing(chunky, if possible). The wings here are very good. They aren’t the small pitiful kind you get at Buffalo Wild Wings or other such chain establishments. They’re fairly meaty and well sauced. The carrots were a little weird… can they be soggy? It’s the only word I can think that describes them best. No snap, no crunch, kinda limp actually. The celery was fine, nothing to snappy or crunchy either. The blue cheese wasn’t chunky but it was tasty. $ 15 out the door including refillable pop. I’ll be coming back for the $ 6 Wednesday night wing special. It’s hard to pass up wings of this quality at that price.

Got a Groupon for the place. Never heard of it before, but glad we tried it. It actually took us 2 times to try it. The first time, we walked in, and right back out. It’s an old man, corner neighborhood bar. Not a restaurant. The next time, we ordered to go. The wings are what we’re told are worth the drive alone and they didn’t fail. So now, we decided to try them again and go in. If the food was good on a to go order, they must be better in person. So we braved on. They took us through a back room area. It was pretty dark, dank and smelled like propane, but never the less. Sat down to a table. Only one other table eating in there during a Saturday afternoon lunch hour. Not really a good sign. Ordered the wings first thing, then burgers, potato skins and drinks. It took a little while, but again, worth the wait. The wings are VERYGOOD. Everything else wasn’t bad either. Nice variety on the menu. Friendly wait staff. I would love to give this hole in the wall a higher score, but 2 things held that back. 1. The place itself. Dark, run down, dirty and dated. Still surprised they even had a place to sit down to eat. Not really family friendly. People huddled out front as you walk in smoking kinda stinks(literally). So to even get in the place, you have to walk through the smokers lounge. 2. While the wings flavor themselves taste really good, they are a little on the small size. Especially for the price. About $ 10 for a dozen. I guess what I’m saying is, don’t judge a book buy it’s cover here. The food is worth it.

If I hadn’t gone there just a week ago, this would have been 5 stars — for their wings. They have the best hot wings — incredibly addictive, however their wings are A LOT smaller than they used to be — but the prices stayed the same. Boo! Booooo!

My love of Off Broadway is only based on weeknight visits for dinner. We’ve sat in the bar or the back restaurant area. Either way, it’s nothing more than what you think it is. It’s a neighborhood bar that serves food. The drinks are cheap compared to the city and the food is good. The menu is extensive and the wings are outstanding. The only weird thing is that even if you’re sitting at the bar, a waitress takes your food order. Just tell your bartender that you’d like to order food and you’ll be taken care of. Other than that, relax and enjoy.
