O’Briens Riverwalk Café

We stopped for lunch. My friend had chicken wings and I had a turkey sandwich. The view was nice. It was busy but if you want one leisurely, it is a nice place to dine. Staff were friendly and attentive.

One of the most dissatisfying and disappointing bar food that I ever had in my life. The taste and quality of the food here is not even close to average, it's mediocre. I would not recommend stopping here for a bite as you will be disappointed for what you are paying for. I will never ever come back here again or take any of my friends or family here if we're on the riverwalk. I ordered a regular cheeseburger, cooked to medium well. Well, the burger was cooked more to medium than medium well. The cheeseburger tasted underwhelming, no flavor at all. I would say a McDonald's cheeseburger has more flavor and taste than the cheeseburger here at O'Briens. The sweet potato fries is laughable. No taste or flavor either. The fries were soggy, not crispy, and the presentation of the fries looks l

This place is all about the view—you're really paying for the amazing riverfront scenery, watching kayakers and boaters go by, with lively tourists and passersby adding to the atmosphere. Sometimes there's live music, which makes it even better. It's a great spot for an evening or a nice warm day. Service was good, with friendly staff, but the food itself is pretty basic—think burgers and standard fare. Nothing special in terms of the menu, but again, you're here for the vibe, not the food. I’d still recommend checking it out for the experience, but there are other spots along the Riverwalk that might offer a bit more on both food and ambiance.

O'Briens Riverwalk Café in Chicago boasts a prime location with stunning views of the river, river walk and the city's magnificent architecture. While the service is adequate, there is room for improvement. The food, though of decent quality, tends to be portioned smaller than expected for the price. The menu is also quite limited. Despite these drawbacks, the café's excellent location remains a key highlight, offering patrons a unique and enjoyable dining experience amidst the beautiful surroundings.

I stopped here for a late lunch of fresh vegetables and lemon hummus and a ‘Riverside’ cocktail. It’s quite nice to watch the world go by on the River. It was relatively quiet and staff were friendly and service prompt. It was pretty packed when I walked past on Sunday. I appreciated some healthy options on the menu. Small serve! Cocktails in a plastic cup is not enticing.😬 I can understand I guess when it’s very busy.
