Small World Bar and Grill

One of my favorite spots in the city to grab wings. Their Lemon pepper wings are some of the best in the city. Food is always fresh and delicious. Great spot to come grab some food and watch sports. Highly recommend coming on Tuesday or Wednesday for their awesome daily specials.

1st time ever coming here. Called in an order for a simple order of wings and fries at 7:30 which they said would be ready in 25 minutes. Showed up and it wasn’t ready. Waited until 8:40 for them to say “just a few more minutes”Instead of applying the Wednesday dine in special discount to my order, they said they’d apply it “next week”. Never again….

Excellent food and atmosphere. We stopped in for some authentic Serbian cuisine and we were not disappointed! Live music and a great local feel. We decided to come back this summer when the patio is open.

The staff is very friendly. Every time I try something new, I am not disappointed. Their wings and fried shrimp are worth the try. The made drinks are good, too. A good place to have a party. Currently, they have Fish Fridays. This is a decent place to eat and have a drink.

I have traveled as far south as the Mexican peninsula and as far north as the Canadian Yucatan...and decided it was time to try food in my backyard. In terms of seating, for a small bar, SmallWorld has ample seating whether at the bar, tables in the back, or tables outside. There are big screens on every wall so you won't miss the action of local or national sports. Most importantly, I cam for Taco Tuesday and it's not over exaggeration to say the tacos are the best hardshell around. They were reasonably priced and did the job when it came to filling me up with good food. The only grips with my visit is that there were only two bartenders who had to play waitress as well for a bar full of maybe 40 people so that made service slow (but they kept a positive attitude)

There are very few places I would call home outside of my own apartment. This is one of them. The people there are amazingly chill, the service is top tier, and every food item on their menu is bursting with flavor. Even in these uncertain economic times, it's clear the owner isn't pulling any punches and is dedicated to providing only the highest quality of food and services.

Stop in for a quick lent dinner. Food was good but was disappointed of being charged $5 dollars for a draft beer and the sign over bar was $4 dollars. Staff needs to be trained better to serve customers. I am a contractor but I don't cheat my clients. Even first time customers.

If you're looking for a true working class Chicago watering hole, this is it Amazing bartenders, amazing food at a chill location with diverse clientele Don't sleep on the wings, they're some of the best you'll ever have within city limits

I went to Small World on 1/24/24 with my sister and nephew for lunch. My sister loves their cucumber drink. As usual the service was very slow and the food took a long time. However at the end of the meal we asked for a take out box and lids for our dipping sauces. I was appalled to see they charged 50 cents for each Styrofoam take out box and had the nerve to charge 25 cents for the lids to the dipping sauce (we already had the container) and there was an 18% surcharge and there were only 3 of us. I asked our server about these ridiculous charges and was told "the owner makes me do it". Wow, just nickel & dime your customers for already overpriced food! Guess I won't be going there anymore!

Small World but big flavors haha!! I am snob for certain things and hot wings are one. They had very very good hot wings in my expert opinion, the sauce was perfect and they were pretty crispy just like I like. I did also order fish tacos for my wife which she enjoyed and some mozzarella sticks too which were subpar to be honest but I still ate them haha. When you walk in you see a pretty long spacious bar area, and the dining space which was a good size for the building size. I am a big TVs to watch at the bar guy and they didn't have very many in there, I have a better set up in my basement. The bartender was quick and attentive while I waited for my order, that was a plus. A down side is the parking lot area isn't very organized and will have you parking in the neighborhood. As a whole Small World Inn Bar and Grill is a nice spot for some good eats and I assume some good drinks. I definitely will be back to get wings!!! Check them out when you are in the area. Rodney Out!!

One of the few places left in this area that serves Serbian food. People seem to like the taco Tuesday as well.

This place is trash...... can't give minus 5 stars....I went there a couple of weeks ago with my girlfriend and I have to say that everything was horrible, food and mostly the service! At least they had good music but that was about it. The food was horrible..... we ordered the wings and they were so gross! Rubbery and they smelled bad!!!!. My girlfriend tried to complain and we know that the owner was so pissy about the situation. She has no customer service skills whatsoever........ the lack of empathy was unbelievable...she was very ignorant and sarcastic. We wouldn't recommend this place at all. You are better off going to hooters for good wings and better service.

I wanted a good salad one night. It was a little later in the evening and I knew options were limited. Well this place came up an d I had never heard of it. As many times as I have searched for places to eat I never came across Small World. Service walking through the door was amazing. They were attentive and gave the daily specials. When we explained it was our first time we are given a breakdown of the everything. We were given the weekly specials and also told to check out the patio area. to my surprise there was a Bocce Ball competition. We tried the pork tenderloin, house salad with buffalo chicken and jalapeño poppers. Everything was GREAT! even had leftovers for the next day and everything was still just as good if not even better. I will be back. oh the drinks....try something if not all

I ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap with fries to go.This was the best wrap I have eaten. The fries were crispy and hot and fabulous. Please check this place out you will not regret it...

Good food and service. Pleasant folks and customers are usually friendly. Older style bar with games to play. You get much food for the money. Ambience is as expected. Neighborhood location.

I have been a frequenter of this establishment for a few years now ( mostly on Taco Tuesday). I have also sampled a majority of the menu. This place has phenomenal food. Fried Chicken Friday is deliciously extraordinary. In addition to good food, the prices are fabulous. The Mixed Drinks and Cocktails that they concocted in house, are unique and colorful. Small World is a gem and keeps getting better.

Had a great time here and the food was really good. Had the shrimp and chicken, it was a Thursday .75 cent each. Didn't get a picture of the food but had the honey mustard wings and garlic parmesan shrimp. I do remember the hobnera chicken, I was told they are extremely hot. I had the Italian stallion drink which was tasty, you would have to have a few to get a buzz.

This was an awesome place for lunch. The food friends and I had were cooked perfect. Place was a little busy but it was taco Tuesday. I tried the tacos and sauages offered and all were good.

Small World opened up a few years ago and I try to go often. The beer is always cold and they have food and drink specials daily. A bar is a bar but I can honestly say, everything on the menu is worth trying. Not only is the food great, but it is consistently fresh. Be sure to come in for taco Tuesdays for a specialty deep fried taco that is delicious. On Friday they have awesome fried chicken. Great spot that you can't go wrong with.

Awesome burgers, wings, great music and the service is was spectacular. Thank you ladies!!! We will be back.

The "friendly,prompt,professional " bartenders must have had the night off when I was there. One of the worst burgers I ever had,flavorless. Fries were cold & greasy. Have no problem going to a dive bar,but, this was the diviest. Never again.

Great food, great atmosphere and neighborhood bar. They always have specials going on and they deliver! In the summer they have outdoor seating with music.

you like a home type of vibe...this is your place!!!!! it is literally the diverse modern day "cheers" type of place!!! google tv show cheers for those unsure... the entire staff is not hust friendly they are like family....!...hard working cousins uncles and aunts...just relaxing in a positive awesome family oriented type of older bar..hidden gift.

Taco Tuesday is the best!!! Food is great and the staff is amazing!! They also make different drinks and not your typical boring drinks from other places!!!

I read about this spot surfing around on yelp and since I don't stay too far, I decided to give them a try. I'm sooo glad I did. It's a nice size spot. Not to big or small and they have food and drink specials for EVERYDAY of the week. Tuesday's are $1.50 crispy beef tacos and I was extremely satisfied. It's very rare to find spots that sell crispy tacos the way that I was raised up eating them (deep fried), and all I can say is they have themselves a new regular! Very cool and low key spot for happy hour and decent prices for drinks as well. Mixed crowd ethnicity wise (which I like) and plenty of tv's to enjoy games while you cocktail it and eat. Haven't tried anything else on the menu besides their tacos and the spinach and artichoke dip but I do recommend this place for those who want to try something new and semi low key.

I love this place. The staff is professional and prompt. I go there to eat mostly because I rarely drink. The food is really good! The burgers and sliders are very tasty. I also enjoy the chicken wings and onion rings. All for a fair price.

I have heard countless glowing reviews of Small World Inn from many friends and family. Finally, I had the opportunity to stop in and experience this neighborhood gem on the East side. The first big plus came when I ordered a bottle of Heineken, It was ice cold, exactly the way beer should be served! Very happy! :) Being a southside native Ukrainian-American formerly from Burnside, I tend to steer towards the ethnic fare at bars such as this. So I ordered the cevapcici, Serbian skinless small grilled sausages consisting of beef, lamb and pork or any combination thereof and seasoned to perfection. Served with kajmak, chopped onions and Serbian bread, fries of course too! They were outstanding! Ordered two (2) shrimp which were on a special to try and those were excellent too. Working class colorful patrons and a very attentive female bartender all made my dining and drinking experience, exceptional! It brought me back to the days when Golden Shell restaurant on Avenue N was the best place on the East side. I will return to Small World Inn.... I loved it!

Great place for your local Serbian/Croatian food. Have been to this place a couple of times since they reopened and both times had good food. This place does sell typical pub grub (burgers/fries) but goes to the next level by serving the Serbian/Croatian equivalents of them....so instead of just a burger you can get a Serbian burger which has pork mixed in. They also have shish kabobs (again various meats including lamb) and a serbian sausage (which tasted like beef jerky). A unique experience for those willing to venture to the far Southeast Side of Chicago or from Indiana.

Food is great at a fair price. 12 beers on tap. Stop on in for some Serbian food. There is always a good beer special.

Good burgers, tacos and chicken! Nice atmosphere and decent selection of beers. Plenty of TV's for sports and a DJ on Sat nights.

Cool layed back bar that everyone will feel welcome. Good beer, good drinks, good food and good fun.

Great neighborhood bar on the east side. Bartender's I thought were friendly, it being my first time in the place. Taco Tuesday's!!! Now everytime I have to pass through the east side I stop for a little food. The patrons are friendly and will easily start up a conversation about the game on TV. Tried to go there a few months ago, very tricky due to the street being closed off.

Great ethnic Serbo/Croatian food and great music. They have specials during the week and everything is so fresh, check it out!!!

I ordered food to go. The "manager" who took my order was very rude. I placed my order at 12:12 and was told it would be ready in 15 mins. I got to the bar about 12:25 and got called a stripper by some idiot guy. So I ignore it and proceeded to pick up my food. A woman who worked there ran in and the manager proceeded to get into a yelling match about what work was done and what wasnt. Then she came up and I said I want to pick up my food. She was rude and said it will be another 5 mins. So I waited. It is now 12:45 and they just bagged up out food. I work maybe 5 mins away. It was $9.50 for a cold chicken sandwich and stale fries. I called back and asked for the bar owner and got into a debate with the manager about how I was lying about the food being cold and I was told i will never be able to talk to the owner. Horrible food for very expensive price and horrible customer service. Never will I ever go back!!
