Mike O'donnell's Bar & Grill Reviews | Franklin Park Restaurants & Bars

I've never really been to many bars given the price of drinks. Â When a couple of beers cost as much as a six pack its cheaper to stay at home. Â I had went here with a friend quite some time ago and we came back a few times. Â The drinks were well priced and the food was really good. Â For anyone who's familiar with the area this was back when Nanna's was still next door.

Anyway the other night a friend decided he wanted a burger after we were done drinking. Â Thing is we could have gone to any fast food place say like White Castle (Which you need to be drunk to eat at) Â Instead I told him about Mikes and how I hadn't been up there in a while. Â We called to see how late they were open and to see how long the food was served. Â Good thing we called too. Â When we got there we were told the kitchen was closed but we said we called and they fixed us up a coupe lf the best burgers we ever had. Â Better still was Saturday was 2 dollar burgers.

With great food and prices we also had wonderful service. Â It was karioke night and my only complaint is that is really loud. Â We parked down on the corner of Edgington and Franklin and that was super loud all the way over there. Â Looking forward to going again soon and not waiting so many years in between visits.

It's a fun place to come and hang out at after work for a beer or two. Â The food is great, and the drinks aren't expensive. Â However, I am not much for the ambiance of the place. Â I don't mind the "hole in the wall" bars, however, depending on the day of the week this place can be a big Debbie Downer. Â But, all in all, a must check out in the neighborhood that's for sure.

me and my brother bought a groupon now for this place and went there sight unseen. We didn't know what to expect, but when we got there, we were taken aback at what a dive it was. there were ads on the ceiling tiles and it was kind of loud. I think we were both thinking of just turning around and walking out - but since we're not psychic and already bought our groupon, we took our seats and waited. The service was good and we both ordered burgers. Now here's the amazing part:

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS WE EVER HAD!!!

We were talking about how good the burgers were for days. If you are at all a burger connoisseur such as myself, this must be tried. It's a bit far from where I live, but I'm going back tomorrow to make sure it wasn't just a fluke.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!!!
Mind you this is a local dive bar with minimal resources and a limited menu but the atmosphere is worth the trip. Maybe I should just say the Bartender (Nick) is worth the trip. My wife and I started a mini-pub crawl through Franklin Park for the few hours we had a babysitter and this was, by far, the best bar in the area with Nick being a top 5 bartender in the Chicago area. Prices were good, atmosphere clean, and service superb. I drink a lot of beer and I will make it a point to stop here with my out of town beer drinking groupies! Reminds me of a nice Little place in Niles called Babes (Yacko's).

Here's an objective review from somebody who grew up in this town:

Mini-pitchcers of Pabst that I can buy with the change under my car seat kind of mitigates the drunken ugly townies and bad karaokee entertainment. But not quite.

Would never choose to come here voluntarily.
