Draft Picks Burgers * Pizza * Beer

I have driven past this place a million times and finally went inside. The place looks cool and feels like a legit sports bar. TVs and projectors everywhere, even one in the bathroom. Service was fine. But the food is BAD. Like shockingly bad. The burger patties were small and completely dried out. The chicken sandwich was 16 dollars and tasted like frozen double breaded freezer food. Straight up Gorton’s vibes. I have had better chicken from Dollar Tree and that is not a joke. They also overcharge for everything. Ten dollars for curly fries is crazy, especially when the food tastes like this. Even their “deals” get you because the sides are overpriced. This is a fine place to watch a game and have a beer, but do not come here for food. I honestly wish I never ordered anything.

Their homemade chili is excellent. It's worth it to pay the extra cost for onions and cheddar cheese because it enhances the dish's flavor and charm. The spices in the chili are flavorful, and the proportions of meat to beans are just right. I had their hungover burger for a meal. The patty was dry and poorly seasoned. I asked for the burger to be cooked medium, but it came out well done. The bacon had a good, savory flavor, but it was floppy and I wish it had been crispy. The fried egg was cooked to perfection; the yolk is still runny but the outside edge has a great crispness to it. If the burger patty was properly cooked, it would be flawless.

Great for a Bears football game. They kept the place warm so no worries as long as you don't sit by the door. The bartender was nice. I would go back and try more food and watch a football game. The DJ was ok, wish they played more recent hits, but some of the old school music was ok.

The food was very tasty and came out quickly, priced very reasonable. The employees were very friendly and welcoming. The music was not overwhelming you could hold a conversation without having to raise your voice. We are glad we found this spot on out road trip.

My 1st time at Draft Picks in Mount Prospect and I wanted to try something new and different before the big day of my kidney donation surgery. The lovely waitress recommended the grilled cheese burger…which is. A burger in-between two grilled cheese 🧀 sandwiches with grilled onions!!! I cut the burger in 1/2 so you can see it on the picture. 🙃 Absolutely delicious 🤤 I couldn’t finish the whole thing and was able to save the other half. The Buffalo Crispy Chicken sandwich was lightly breaded tossed in buffalo sauce, pepper jack cheese, lettuce and tomato 🍅. The sauce was scrumptious and the chicken was soft and crispy. The burgers did not fall apart and we were able to enjoy our meal with the family. The fries 🍟 were hot crispy and pickles were a great garnish to our burgers. Great atmosp
