Stolen Saddle

I recently went to this new opened southwest/cowboy themed restaurant and bar in Wrigleyville. There are a lot of cheesy bars and restaurants in this area that are generic sports bars and are good, but don't really distinguish themselves. This is not one of them. This place stands out due to its unique, fun atmosphere and good food. First, the food was very good. Their menu is mostly Tex-Mex, but they have a selection typical bar food like burgers and pizza. I ordered grilled shrimp tacos, brisket nachos, a double cheeseburger, Texas tea cocktail and a cookie skillet for dessert. The shrimp in the tacos was excellent. They were cooked perfectly and they were plump. The sauce that came with the tacos was delicious. The nachos were very good, with lots of toppings a healthy amount of brisket. The double cheeseburger was a solid and can stand up to any burger you'd get in this area. The cookie skillet was yummy and the perfect ending to my meal. The Texas tea was tasty and super strong. Second, the decor and atmosphere were on point. They have gone all out with the cowboy theme. Everywhere I looked I saw a cool vintage sign, guitar or something the make me feel like I was in an old style roadhouse. They even have a vintage gas pump and a mechanical bull on site. The details are amazing, down to saddles as bar seats that swivel. Of course, there is the over the top vintage truck on their patio. In addition, this is a great sports bar too. The night I went, I had great time watching a Cubs game and the NCAA Men's basketball final on their many TVs. Third, service is great. The servers and bar tenders really lean into the cowboy at theme, down to a the bouncer who looked like he walked out of a western ranch. Everyone was super nice and made my dinner that much more pleasant. This is a must visit bar.

Update* They responded to be on my Google review and hopefully things will get better and be more of a country bar if I make a return in my travels to Chicago!! This is not a country bar by any means it's more of a three story club. Drinks are way over price. The waitresses were very nice which was a plus. But very disappointed with them calling this a country bar.

This place is fun!!! If you are I to line dancing , mechanical bull rides and delicious drinks then this is your place ! The food however was a miss .... Overall me and my group of friends enjoyed our western themed night out ! Hee- Ha!! lol

There was no service. When I went up to the bar to ask for a Paloma they didn't know what it was. Music was wack. If you want a boring evening go here!

We came in prior to today's baseball game but left after 15 minutes of not receiving any service.

I went to Stolen Saddle before the Post Malone and Jelly Roll concert. I was in a group of five. I am not sure that we could have had worse service if they tried. When we got there, the restaurant was not even 1/4 full yet. Our drinks took forever to get there. One of the people I was with ordered a spicy margarita, I can't remember what they named it, and she said it was not the right drink and it was far from spicy. When she told the waitress, she got some lame excuse instead of her offering to replace it. At $15 a drink They should have remade it for her. Then we ordered food. One of the girls got her meal almost 10 minutes before everybody else got theirs. She did not want to start eating before everybody else did, but her food was getting cold. She got fajitas and then asked for some salsa with it. It did not come with any kind of salsa at all and then she was charged a dollar for it. One of the other girls got a salad, which everybody had a small taste of the lettuce and all agreed that there was no dressing on it that we could tell. So she asked for some extra dressing and was charged $.50. Not only was the $40 tip automatically put on but an eight dollar service charge for what we were not even sure. Our meal with tax and tip and service charge was close to $300 for subpar, mediocre food and service. There are many choices for food and drinks in the Wrigleyville area, and this will never be our choice again!
