"We were in chicago for a 4 days and ate 3 meals a day in restaurants. This was by far the worst food and for the price terrible value. Paid $25 for flank steak with fries. Paid $22 for flank steak in the signature room at the top of the John hancock building."

"Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I was expecting the same menu as the Harry Caray's in River North, but this one was more limited on options. However, the food was still very good!"

"We brought our Mom there for mother day and it was a perfect choice. The food was excellent as well as the waitress. Friendly happy people all around you. It was busy but there was enough room around you that you did not feel squished. The food was priced just right as well. I felt the price matched the item...."

"Didn't feel like a tourist trap as other restaurants at Navy Pier. The crusted halibut sandwich and calamari are outstanding! Meals were well portioned and service impeccable. Save time to look at the memorabilia."

"Tried to make the online reservation for 12, made it for 6 and had to call HCs to change it to 9. Interesting to see the restaurant was mostly empty for 6-7pm on a Friday. We were meeting college friends, some we hadn't seen in 30 years. The restaurant was quiet so we could talk for 4 hours. I was thankful that the music wasn't loud and the big screen tvs were nice.The servers could have a little more personality at a place like HCs.They were efficient and didn't bother us too much. The food was good but I don't recall them refilling my drink. They were happy to get additional liquor drinks(increase the tab). It got really cold around 10pm. It was okay. We'll probably pick a different place next time, though."

"average food. I had the French onion soup which was VERY SALTY! We felt rushed to order. The surroundings are what makes this establishment worth visiting. Fun to view all of the sports collector items. Can spend at least an hour looking at all of the pictures and baseballs etc. But if you're there to relax with a drink before dinner the kitchen closes at 8pm. This is inconvenient for late night diners. I was NOT advised this when I had a 7:30 reservation. Additionally, the winter menu is different than the one online. Much smaller. Nice and comfortable environment but no great dining. It is a good place on Navy Pier to take visitors to Chicago due to the Harry theme, but other than that I would not be racing there to have dinner."

"Very limited menu -- not the same as other Harry Carray's locations. Seated in the Bar area -- not as nice as the larger dining room seating area. Not sure why as they weren't that full. Service was good."

for Shakespeare Theatre goers. All restaurants cater to tourists.

"My wife and I were given a gift card to Harray Caray's Tavern at Navy Pier. We were very surprised at the level of service, quality of food and the restaurant as a whole. We would definitely recommend Harray Caray's Tavern at Navy Pier if you are ever in the area. I would also recommend the Meat loaf. It was fantastic!!"

"We dine here often before attending Chicago Shakespeare Theater
Service is always good and makes it easy to get to the theater on time.
This time the onion soup was not as good as it usually is. The hamburgers are excellent.
We will surely return again.

"I've eaten here several times, in both the summer and winter. In the summer it's fantastic to sit outside, enjoy great food and drinks, friends, sites, and people watching.
In the winter it very warm and inviting inside. Not nearly as crowded and the food is the exact same quality.
The Bill Kurtis Grass Fed beef is so yummy. They use it in a few things. A favorite of mine here is: Meatloaf, Fish and Chips and the Mac and Cheese."
