Surprisingly Good Food!  5 Star Rating - World class

Always a good hangout place...but I finally got hungry and tried the ribs.
Outstanding!
They said this review was too short to post but everyone knows about the Northside as a great hangout so I just wanted to mention the ribs.
I hope this is long enough now, I am tired of typing.

I can't think of anywhere else to go. 5 Star Rating - World class

I was hoping for a free beer at least for a good review but no luck.
Guess I'll still go there anyway. i feel like I'm in a rut, but I can't think of another place that's as comfortable and fun. Somebody please tell me a better place, I need to move on. I'm not stalking the waitresses really!

Pros: Very friendly
Cons: parking is horrific and valet is 10 bucks

Pretty cool chill place 5 Star Rating - World class

My friends and I like to come out here when we want to start out a nice relaxing evening. The restaurant and bar have a nice dimmly lit atmosphere. The waitresses are *hot*. I tried the catfish sandwich both times that I've been here. Excellent! I was surprized at the average ratings that other users have assigned to this cool place.

Pros: Hip Bucktown, Hot Waitresses

Your Usual Neighborhood Place 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

The Northside Cafe (more like bar and grill) is a nice neighborhood place. I usually go there with friends and although the service is not so great (pretty slow) I usually have a good time. The food is okay - better than the regular bar food, but nothing to write home about. They have some good dishes. The service is about marginally better than Bar Louie down the street, but not as good as Silver Cloud (just next door to Bar Louie). Prices are average.

Pros: Close to home, No surprises, Not too pricey
Cons: Parking (if needed), Nothing special

Music on Saturdays is awful 4 Star Rating - Very good

I have been to the Northside almost everyday of the week and can honestly say that it is always a great place to go, except on Saturday nights. The music is absolutely awful and way to loud. Our group could not even hear ourselves think. The place was empty where every other bar was packed and I would have to say it was because of the music. The really sad thing is that they had a DJ, so the bar was actually paying someone to make the place awful. Great place, just not on Saturday nights.
