Gatsby's Pizza & Pub

My boyfriend and I were excited to try a new bar to watch the football games at, but we were disappointed very quickly with this place.  The food (we ordered pizza) was mediocre, but the service was absolutely terrible!!!  The waitress would walk by our table and ask "how is everything?" And then proceeded to answer the question herself instead of letting us answer for ourselves.  My boyfriend waited at least 40 minutes for the waitress to ask him if he wanted a beer, but he gave up and had to flag her down to tell her he wanted another beer.

We will NEVER return here and will discourage anyone we know who wants to come in the future.

why do I like this place? TV's EVERYWHERE!  it's almost as if you need to call an exterminator because TV's have infested this place.  They always have every sports game on and you can see it in any direction you look.  

drinks are decently priced and the food is pretty decent.  the skirt steak sandwich is awesome and so is the philly cheesesteak.  I also love the fries since they are like mcdonald's fries, but crispier.  I tried the wings and they are definitely not something to be ordered here.  the bartenders are normally very attentive and Marge has always taken very good care of us.

so if are looking for a place to watch the game, try this place out!

I'm not sure what happened to this place but it needs to wake up and rethink its strategy.  I've had more than one patty melt that was of questionable quality.  They do not offer free refills, if you want extra dressing-another charge.   Their salads?  don't bother unless you like eating the leavings from the garnish of other dishes, positively disgusting....

I will only order the pizza and even then it's a crap shoot if they have a new cook.  Will it be smothered in sauce and soggy or not????

This place just is not dependable.  So I choose runways in wheeling or Brandt's in palatine......
