Spice Up Your Summer With Hot Dishes at These 13 Chicago Spots | Eater

"A staple in north suburban Niles since 1932, the Morrison Roadhouse serves up the standards you would expect from a bar, like nachos, wings, and quesadillas. But it also serves some you wouldn’t, like andouille sausage skewers in Creole mustard sauce and “Morrison Puffs”, a puff pastry stuffed with cheese, raisins, and sausage, served with a lime cream and sriracha drizzle." - Aimee Levitt

The sign says established in 1932, and every time I've driven by, I think I need to stop in. I finally did, and am kicking myself for wasted time. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The large bar and restaurant seating is comfortable and spacious. There is a variety of beers on tap, served in well-frosted glasses. We sat at the bar and I had one of the best burgers I've ever had, served with homemade chips. It was so good that I almost returned with another companion the next day!

We LOVED this place. It’s just what a neighborhood bar should be but so much more. All of the food that we ordered was absolutely great, the portions were large and the price was right. Our server was Jessica and she was on top of everything. We order the potato skins and wings. Both were great. We then ordered Philly cheesesteaks, both chicken and steak and the steak burrito. Again, all were great! This is the kind of place that every neighborhood should have. Great food, great atmosphere, great service and all at a great price! We will be back!

The Parisan chicken sandwich is the best Chicken sandwich I have ever had. Highly recommend.

Great spot with an awesome atmosphere! The food was delicious, especially the burgers, and the service was top-notch. Jessica and Kelly were friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. The ambiance is perfect for a casual night out, with a cozy interior and plenty of TVs for watching sports. Prices are reasonable, and the overall experience was fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a laid-back gastropub with great food and drinks

The fried fish and fries were great, the beer on tap was cold and fully carbonated, and the waitress was attentive but not overbearing. The prices are not cheap, but not out of line. The music played is good, and not too loud.

Haven't been here in years, went with my husband. Service was pretty good. It was freezing in there. My biggest complaint is everywhere comes with house chips. Which there were pretty good whenever if you want fries its a 2 dollar up charge, when the food is already overpriced.

Morrison Road House in Niles is far from serving ordinary bar food – everything on the menu is truly exceptional! From the Steak sandwich to Burgers and Wraps, each dish I've tried in the past has been not just delicious, but outstandingly so. The portion sizes are generous and satisfying. On this occasion, I opted for the Cajun Chicken sandwich, and it took the experience to the next level. What adds to the greatness of this place are our servers, Amanda and Jessica. They are truly fantastic at their job – attentive, friendly, and highly professional, often adding a touch of humor to their service. If you're in search of a local neighborhood bar that serves excellent comfort food, I highly recommend Morrison Road House. It's a gem that's not to be missed!

A nice "dive" bar. Always good food, reasonably priced drinks and importantly good people on both sides of the bar! ... Please bring back the lamb burger though!!

I have driven by this bar hundreds of times. I have often wondered "what goes on inside this "roadhouse".... Is it teaming with bikers looking for a rumble? Does Patrick Swazy bounce at this Roadhouse? Is it all dusty since it's been there since 1932? Is this Jim Morrisons favorite bar? Nope on all 4 speculations. It's more like Cheers. You feel completely comfortable and welcomed by a friendly bartender as you walk it. The crowd is couples and friends out for a bite and a brew. The food was outstanding. The hot wings were freshly fried and spiced perfectly. The Cuban sandwich was massive and tasty. It was two meals for me. What have you been waiting for, come on in and have a beer and lunch.

Kinda of a funky fun bar with good food. Went in with a decent sized group and was taken care of quickly and efficiently. I would go back for a sandwich and to watch a game.

Food is good. We ordered, steak & chicken kabob with fried mushrooms. Service is great. Most of the staff & bartender are great. They make you feel comfortable. Thank you, Jenny. Ambiance is good And won $60 on their slot machine. Even better for a 1st timer.

Service was slow, the server I guess had quit unexpectedly . The staff there was very apologetic and courteous. Burger was good only thing is to get fries or tots are $2 up charge. The burgers come with homemade chips. The salad tasted a little funny like the bacon was bad. Couldn't tell what else it could be because it's just cheese / lettuce/ croutons The fat burger was delicious. The beer was cold. Will try again to uodate review

First and last time visiting. The kabobs were cooked right and seasoned well. The tavern pizza and burgers were average. Very friendly staff. I wish Cleo gave them autonomy to remove the cc surcharge. We spent $174 , but will not return because of the fee.

I met a group of old friends up here, and we sat at the bar and caught up. It's a typical barroom restaurant, and they have the back area for gambling. I had been here with them once before, about a year ago, and I remembered liking the Light My Fire burger, so I ordered it again. It was cooked to the perfect medium that I requested, and was very good. The homemade chips were fresh tasting and excellent. Service was fine, pricing seemed reasonable. We had a good time.

The food is absolutely excellent. If you like fried mushrooms, they're the best fried mushrooms around, you love burgers, the options are amazing. Reggie is the best and the bartenders. Gotta love them. The environment is great and I look forward to coming back many times!

Honestly confused on the low ratings for Morrison! My friends and I make it a weekly stop in. Bartenders are friendly and attentive and there are always people in the bar; doesn't matter what day of the week. They have a nice large bar in the middle of the room with lots of TVs making it a great spot for watching sports. Finally ordered food and was not disappointed. Large menu giving you a lot of options which is nice. I settled on the southwest chicken wrap with fries. A HEALTHY portion, I had to take 1/2 my wrap home. My boyfriend got the Light My Fire Burger which was cooked well paired with fries. We love this place. Between the great bar food, the friendly staff, we make it a weekly visit for a reason.

Everything was good. Service and food. All served hot and timely. Value pricing helps.

I highly doubt I will ever return. Condom in the bathroom stall; walking to the bathroom it smelled like pot, cigars and smelly old men. I ordered a Reuben. The meat was dry and chewy (like jerky) and the bread was hard and stale. Some of the chips were also stale. I did tell the waitress and she did offer to bring me something else but I declined (we had already waited long enough). Also the glasses (mine was plastic my sister's was glass) were both dirty and smudged. While some of it was just age, some of it was grease. It was just an overall disappointment.

Went in this past Saturday for lunch and had their McDowell burger which was on the specials.It was phenomenal as was the friendly service. Please Keep that burger on your menu indefinitely!!!!!YUMYUM

Unfortunately we were unable to eat here because they did not offer high chairs or any boosters. The waitress said they were out but they had none because the other family brought their own. They were also not so welcoming when we arrived. My husband asked where he could get a high chair so he didn't have to borrow the waitress but the bartender said to wait for the waitress to get it and at the end they didn't even have them.

08/30/20 - Third time isn't always a charm. I went back to Morrison's Roadhouse and ordered my usual Fat Boy Burger medium rare w/cheddar cheese, bacon & an egg over easy on top. A recipe for perfection? Well the burger wasn't cooked medium rare this time it was brown inside. What I was expecting and what I got were 2 different things. I'm sorry but nothing spoils a burger or a piece of beef for me more then overcooking it. A medium rare is still red inside, nice & juicy and succulent. I was looking at the pictures from my previous visits & literally drooling looking at the juicy succulent red burger. The burger this time was brown inside and definitely over overcooked. It was dry and really a disappointment. I haven't had a Fat Boy Burger in over a year and I was lamenting on how good this burger was to my Yelp friend Tim H. He drove all the way from Naperville to try their burger (I hope he wasn't too disappointed). Usually their burgers are outstanding. The burger prices went up as well from $11.50 to $14.00 but I guess everything going up. A sign "O" the times. The server Britney was a real sweetheart & did a great job. Thanks for making the meal more enjoyable. I just wish the burger was cooked properly and not so dry

After cruising past this place numerous times and looking at other reviews, I decided to give it a shot. There's a big bar as soon as you enter, tv's spread through out the establishment, tables around the bar and another area in the back with gaming. The menu has quite a bit of offerings and it's pretty much what you'd find at other places. The burgers seem to be the highlight of the menu and I tried the real blt one with curly fries. It was good and i finished it pretty fast. Service could have been a little better but it's all good (I'm not a regular lol). I'm sure I'll check it out again to try one of the 1/2 pound burgers.

First time, last time. 10 years as a server and oof that was bad. Do better Morrison. My dad and I ordered steak sandwiches. After 40 minutes of not being checked on by our server he politely asked how long it would be. The waitress responded by saying "see all these tables around, they ordered before you and haven't gotten their food yet" as if that was some sort of justification for a forty minute wait on steak sandwiches. Requested to have my order cancelled. Then after 10 more minutes the manager brings out the sandwiches and tries to guilt us into taking them..and still pay for them claiming we are hurting their small business and they're training a new cook. It was a Saturday evening during the ncaa tournament at a sports bar, c'mon man. Not once did the server or manager apologize for the wait.

It's a bar with good bar food that caters to smokers and gamblers. It's called "Roadhouse" right? Did we watch the movie? I wouldn't take my kids there past a certain hour but I go with adults for drinks and really good late night grub. They are one of the only late-night spots around with good food. Awesome burgers and salads, generous portions, stiff drinks, super friendly bartenders and staff too really. Clean bathrooms and a decent enclosed smoking area. Been going on and off for 20 years...

Solid spot that I'll definitely go back to, it's got it all on their menu including real good tavern style pizza. My only complaint is that it's 20 minutes from my house and not 5 minutes. ;)

If you want to be treated like a caged animal and being stared at the ENTIRE time and not get any service whatsoever, this is your cup of tea. Absolutely terrible customer service with no respect. The ownership team needs a serious overhaul of how to run an establishment. Extremely sickening, STAY AWAY!

Stopped in for a pulled pork and some skins... got to witness a drunk waitress and the manager almost beating someone up... that was cool ... to mention they mess up my sandwich and my skins came after my food ... thought appetizers came before the food ... apparently fighting was more important than making sure our food was correct.

Stopped last night for a beer with my almost 90-year-old neighbor who happens to be an Army Veteran, he had his military hat on! He wanted to play the gaming machines in the back, but all were being used by the same assumed "regulars" for at least an hour. When they would leave their spot placed an in-use sign on the machine. I asked the assumed manager how I could get him on a machine but was told could not do anything. I get it, understand his reluctance but was hoping for a "let me see what I can do for at least 10 minutes". What I did not get was him telling his bartenders about it. The reaction was grins and a glance over to us, not what I expect for an elderly VETERAN? I am a long-time "regular" somewhere else and their staff is always welcoming to every so often customers, not so at this place! Not my first time having this reaction! Maybe you want to mark your calendar, Veterans Day is on 11/11/2024!

If you like a burger cooked to order this is the place for you. I like mine medium rare to rare. Always comes out as I ordered. Juicy burger with great curly fries. And there are a lot of options for add-ons to your burger. I usually get grilled mushrooms and onions. And they pour a very good drink! Wait staff is wonderful very friendly.We frequent here very very often everything is great see you soon

The worst place I have ever walked into for drinks. Bartenders are unprofessional. The atmosphere is disgusting, and the patrons that were there were beyond over served and starting fights . Would never return and highly suggest you take your business to a better establishment. If you want to have drinks in the area I suggest playbook down the street.

Excellent food and terrific staff. The most COVID friendly place around. It's like a chicken pox party for middle aged men. The Zeus and Buffalo chicken sandwiches are terrific. The also have several machines with that will take your money and reward you with spectacular twinkly light displays. It's a great place to watch the big game too. Get boosted and go. Really the food is great.

For being a great sports bar the food was great. The pizza was good. The Sandwiches are good everything was good, even our waitress (Jenny) was excellent. Highly recommend stopping in for a visit. Too bad we have to head back home to California or this would be one of my favorite places to frequent.

Once again I find myself sitting with not good service. I really like this place the food is good, but I don't understand the girls that work there she took our order and we never seen her again. There was a young man who brought us our food gave us her to go box. Another girl gave us our check. We were never checked on if our food was OK if we needed something else would we like another drinkjust like we weren't there and I hate to say it because we really like it but they need a different staff is young girls talking to these guys is this the dating game or is this Morrisons roadhouse? Please I do not want to rip your business we really like it but this is the second time service was lacking you young man who brings out the food and cleans up was excellent

To all the fools who go to a very sociable place and want to be treated like they're the only customer: Eat at home. Very often I find the people who attempt to write a review of a place more often actually reveal more about themselves than the place. One of these novices were outraged by the thought of tipping 20%. So, no matter how great the food and service may have been, 20% is never on the table. I guess the feeling of being ignored annoys you because it happens so frequently. Eat at home. Morrison's is exactly what it intends to be. Laid back, sociable, and unexpected really good food rather than usual bar grub. And it doesn't 'cater' to gamblers and smokers, it accommodates them, as it does for everyone else, even the people up there on their horses. Giddyup! Eat at home.

I'm only giving this place two stars because the food is really good but that's about it. I used to love this place. I've been coming here for years but it seems they are just over pricing the menu and not caring about their customers. Plus a 15% hike on all food, add that along with a 20% gratuity?? That's insane. Anyways, second time in a row we've had really poor service. They do not have enough waitresses at this place so you wait forever for drinks, refills and anything else. Try to complain?? The grey headed guy with glasses who calls himself a manager should really be educated on what customer service is. After this last experience, I will never go back there. Too expensive, terrible service and horrible customer service! Save your money and go someplace else where they appreciate your business and your money.

Passing through the area and figured I would give it a try. Bar looked like a fairly nice looking dive bar and the menu looks like a nice restaurant. I ordered a couple apps because they looked a bit different from the usual "bar food".. As soon as it came out I realized it was a whole lot of food for the order. Along with it being a lot of the food, the food tasted fabulous. My complaints are the bartenders were too busy talking to each other to pay attention to anyone's needs. Granted, it wasnt very busy, but that is no excuse for assuming that means it's not pay attention time. My other complaint is a $6.50 Virgin Bloody Mary.. I mean every Dive bar I go to I can get a bloody mary for less and it is filled with BOOZE. Total rip off on the boozeless mixed drink I returned to the bar later in the evening and the virgin bloody mary was 4 bucks which I way more reasonable. The second shift was awesome and friendly. So I'd return durning the second shift in the future

I ordered the "Stuffed B&B" blue cheese burger with curly fries. They said that the lowest temperature doneness for this burger was medium but it arrived very well done. The burger itself wasn't bad...not the best, not the worst. I would ditch the pretzel bun for brioche!

Vanessa G.

Yelp
I work around the neighborhood. NoW, I only come here if I want to eat. Food is great but the service is bad. I understand it can get busy. But if a bartender is on her phone and speaking to a guy, then they are NOT busy. 15 minutes with out service. When I got a beer, it took me 20 minutes to get my bill. I would of walked out with out paying but I couldn't.

My boyfriend introduced me to Morrison's 4 months ago on a date, and I loved my meal so much, I've come back for more! He recommended the steakhouse wedge ($13), which was is SO good! I definitely want to pay it forward and recommend that salad to you! It has a lot of steak seasoned and cooked to perfection on top of lettuce wedges with toppings on top and a side of their homemade Russian dressing. It's #2 of my all time favorite salads! My most recent visit, I decided to try a burger. I chose the B&B burger, which was a stuffed burger patty on pretzel bun with crispy fried onions, bacon, and blue cheese. It came with a side of homemade chips and a pickle for $10.50. I asked for medium and it came on closer to well-done, but that bother me too much since it was really good! My daughter had the bacon grilled cheese which was basic, but good. They have a bar with a lot of seating, tvs everywhere to watch sports, and a pool table in the back. Also, they have outdoor seating and a parking lot.

The absolute worst ribeye I've ever had. Truth be known, it wasn't even ribeye, but rather some very poor cut, and even tho ordered rare, came out VERY well done. And to make it even worse, the service was lousy. Don't waste your time going to this place - there are so many better. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

I would say closer to 3-1/2 stars.... but not a 4. We come here occasionally, and their steak sandwiches are terrific. Usually what we get. Or the Steak wedge salad. Usually great. This time not so great. Lets dissect:- Wedge salad. The steak was delicious as per usual, but the salad was much smaller than previous visits. At least one of us gets this every time, so we know... and it just looked sad. Aloha pizza. G'bye pizza (I do realize that Aloha is hello and goodbye. Trying to be funny ). A jumbled mass of flavors that neither stood out nor meshed. Coupled with the fact that it was burned made it taste like... burned. This is what I get for venturing off from our usual. Firecracker shrimp. Like a mouthful of salt. I've had it before and I liked it... this time the chef (?) was supremely heavy handed with the salt in the breading. Service was slow. It usually is, but this time the waitress was struggling, and I think she was by herself. Not really her fault, but our food was delivered and we didn't speak to her again. We saw her... but she didn't stop by, my drink was empty and the salty shrimp... you get it. Overall disappointing. Been coming here for years. It's a bar with great steak sandwiches. If you're drunk and hungry... ok

I come here all the time because the foods so good! Usually I come on a slower Wednesday/Thursday night when it's not too busy, but tonight I came on a Saturday and it was swamped!!! The bartenders were so fast and professional, really it was like dinner and a show. Molly was the best! And helped us out all night, such a rockstar!! Way to go Molly!! Highly recommend!

Chopped chicken salad with honey mustard dressing is delicious (minus the bacon, and avocado and blue cheese.) Drinks are good, and bartenders pay attention if your drink is getting low. The bar can get pretty rowdy and loud after 10/11 but what bar isn't?

I'm wondering if maybe Sunday at noon isn't the time to come in. The cook was off course today, as both our burgers were way over cooked. This being my first time, I have a policy of not sending food back and wasting it. I think it's fair to say, they have one chance to get it right, when it comes to a burger. They have some fancy combinations and I went with the stuffed b&b. Stuffed blue cheese, (overcooking it seemed to squeeze all the blue cheese out of it.) bacon, crispy fried onion, (they were cold and chewy) lettuce, tomato and blue cheese dressing. (Only a trace of dressing.) I enjoyed the tater tots for a change of pace, but the $15.50 price is indicative of a 5 star burger. They fell short and the manager never approached us, after we informed Brittany, our server, of our disappointment. Initially I was thinking of coming back to explore more of their menu, but not too sure I will. At least the company was great.
