Although the menu is basic, all the food we got was really great, and the drinks were fun. This is a nice casual place. There aren't many places in Chicago to eat near the lakefront. I'll be coming back.

Ultimate turkey sandwich my new favorite. Homemade chips are great. Patio on north side overlooks golf course. Smaller patio in front and nice bar inside as well. Parking: Lot free on holiday's

Amazing location! Right next to the lake, golf course, and park, it’s the perfect place to stop during a day in Lincoln Park or at the beach. We got the fries and chips appetizer of which both were huge portions. The fries were cooked perfectly, however, the chips were a little over cooked and the side of $3 guac was a little sad. Service wasn’t awesome, however, they did mention they were short staffed. I will definitely be back for drinks! Wheelchair accessibility: Wide ramp leading to the patio and then into the restaurant

Love the Clocktower cafe! Have been coming here for 5yrs+. The bartender Erin is our fave! Staff is always friendly and quick service. You don't have to be a golfer to stop in. The views of the lake are spectacular and they offer patio seating.

Love this place, you can hang out after golfing or if you're just walking by and you need some place to get a nice cold drink or a nice meal. Bartender shane is very social. Love the staff. Impressed with the cook in that small kitchen. This is not RPM..but man the food is good. Highly recommend stopping by this chocago historical sight.

The food is very normal but I like to go over there after a good walk near the lake side. Kid-friendliness: Families with kids were always enjoying this place so it's undeniably friendly for them.
