Old Irving Brewing Co.

The only one that could stop me from talking about this place is Boeing! Once you come here you start checking their website feverishly because they have a new wing of the week but also, burger and Mac and cheese of the month. Some would say they have the best wings in the city! I like that they are not afraid to experiment with their wing flavors, when I went the wing of the week was piña colada flavored! If you’re into beer this place has it and a wide selection. I came here strictly for the food, I’ve been here multiple times and have gotten the wings, burger and the cod po’boy. All 3 items impressed with the taste, quality and portion size! Don’t settle for a Boeing quality restaurant where they just throw in the scraps! Go to Old Irving Brewing!

Best burger in town

When we arrived, we were told by the host that it would be a one hour wait. It was a busy Saturday, so not surprising. I turned to ask a member of our party if that was okay, then when I turned back to say we’d wait (5 seconds later), it was suddenly an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half wait. I left my number and we stood back to wait while we checked in with the rest of our party. Less than a minute later, the host said they’d seat us after the people in line in front of us, then suddenly we were being told to follow a staff member to an open table (which was right next to another open table of the same size). This all happened in under five minutes. It felt like the host just didn’t want to deal with us and was hoping we’d leave if given a long wait time. Once we sat down, the server seemed to have the same attitude. She was nice and attentive, but was very obviously hoping we’d be a quick turn. The food and drinks were good, but not worth the service.

Great food, especially the weekly specials. Some of the best chicken wings I've had in the area. Great selection of rotating beers too.

Amazing experience! I love trying out new breweries even though most of the time I end up NOT liking the product. So I was pleasantly surprised to love all 3 beers I tried during our visit here. Separately have to highlight, our server Chris and the kitchen chef Alex, they went above and beyond to ensure and provide quality vegan options. The rest of the staff were also very attentive!

Excellent beer! Good staff. Definitely worth the trip to this brewery! A must stop for Chicago breweries. So great!
