"Unless you are going for burgers and fries and beer, no I would not recommend Goose Island Brewery. Service was spotty. Took a long time to be served, had to ask for salt & pepper, bread, dessert menu, coffee, bread. Seemed a long time before we were served. They were setting up for a huge party in another room, which may excuse some of this, but not all."

"My husband and I went to Goose Island for his birthday. We are burger and beer type people, but wanted a step up. This was perfect. We each had a flight of beer which was wonderful. The steak sandwich was the best I've ever had, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be going back."

"Ate before a show @ Apollo Theater on an early Sun. Afternoon. Liked the many beer choices since you can try small samples of many of them. I liked my burger and chips. Wife liked her fresh salad. Very nice service
Can sit @ bar or eat in atrium. Food prices OK for Chicago."

"This was our first time to Goose Island and we really enjoyed ourselves. We both had a couple beers that we have never heard of before, and the food was awesome. I had a cheeseburger with a fried egg on it, and it was cooked perfectly. My girlfriend had the fish and chips which was delicious as well. We will definitely be back!"

"This was my first time to Goose Island. Prior to going my husband and I reviewed their menu online. Once we arrived, they did not have half of the items that were listed online. The restaurant was noisier than I would have liked, however the service and food was very good. We would definitely give Goos Island another try."
