- MMollyChicago / Illinois •20 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe came to the restaurant today for Christmas Dinner. My son has Autism and he freaked out because he doesn't like candles and we forgot to check for them beforehand. He ran out at top speed (after he wrangled out of his shirt) and my husband got to him in the vestibule. The manager, nice looking man with glasses, came out immediately to see how he could help. We chatted and came up with a plan and he was so kind and helpful. We got my son back into the restaurant and thanks to him, we were able to enjoy a Christmas dinner. The manager continued to check on us throughout the meal and even said it "made his night" to see us having dinner. I hope he knew it made our night too and we are forever thankful to him for having compassion for our situation and making the best of it. Our waiter was awesome and very attentive. My husband loved the ribs, my filet was a little tough, but still enjoyable. The large kids menu is amazing. Thank you to our Christmas Day angel at Weber Grill!!More infoWeber Grill - ChicagoPrice: Moderate• American• River North (Chicago)•4.5

Overall we loved the soul rolls. fried pickles, fried fish/chicken/shrimp platter, the turkey tips and links, greens, mac n cheese, and baked beans.

- AAnthonyVIPDallas - Fort Worth •15 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 21, 2024Service was excellent… almost as excellent as the CORNBREAD!! Being from the south I know what good cornbread should taste like and never did I think I’d have the best cornbread I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant/bar in downtown Chicago. The turkey and bacon sandwich was great too but the star if my visit was the cornbread. Lots of TVs to watch the game and lots of good food to go with it. This is a must visit if you’re in the area. I’m already planning my return. Great job!More infoWelcome to the Farm- ChicagoPrice: Moderate• American• River North (Chicago)•4.4
