What People Are Saying About McCoy's Public House

In Short – Earth tones and stone walls create an unpretentious atmosphere for upscale-casual dining. A long, communal table surrounded by stools is perfect for a gathering. Diners seeking privacy opt for a cozy table by a fireplace in the smaller dining rooms. A big menu pleases all, with symbols marking spicy or vegetarian-friendly items. Gourmet brick-oven pizza with wild mushrooms and Brie is big enough to share while juicy barbecued bison burgers satisfy carnivorous cravings.

Best Burger in Town!
by MagnetDude at Citysearch
I love a classic burger! I love it cooked medium rare, with a sharp cheddar. I used to live in Chicago and the best char grilled burger in the "Windy City" is The Wiener Circle. They use a cheese that is both sharp and tasty! It's no secret, It's Merkts Cheddar from Little Chute, Wisconsin. The BEST delicious spreadable cheese in the world!
I've been going to McCoy's Public house since it opened. I order the "Real McCoy" 99% of the time and in all the years I've ordered it, only 1 time it was over cooked! I have had slow service a few times. I've even had some of the burgers undercooked, and that's fine with me.
So if you want a Great burger and you love Chicago's Wiener Circle cheddar burger, then you've got to try the Merkts cheddar burger @ McCoy's Public House. If you don't like it with some red or pink, order it Mid well or well. Try the "Real McCoy" give em a chance. Comfort food done great!
- Pros: The "Real McCoy" ,Happy Hour, comfort food

Underrated Restaurant!
by mpls5431 at Citysearch
I have dined at McCoys on several occassions and have never had a bad experience! The staff is friendly, atmosphere is fun, and meals are well-priced. Despite being crowded, I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a table (even on a weekend night) and parking isn't too difficult around that area given the ramps. I would highly recommend this restaurant - no one I have taken here has been unsatisfied.
- Pros: Service, Food
- Cons: none

EXTREMELY UNDER RATED RESTAURANT!!
by ericwhoeats at Citysearch
This is an EXTREMELY UNDER RATED RESTAURANT!!
It is a ?from scratch kitchen? and the food is cheap for the size of portions and taste. One of thee best Burgers in the Cities! They have a ton of beers on tap AND they brew their own!!!!!
The Happy Hour is KILLER with cheap 24 oz. taps, house wines and Cosomos! And the vibe is up beat yet relaxed with a modern, dark wood pub atmosphere. Just go there! (I?ll probably already be there.)
- Pros: Free parking. great neighborhood. wait for a patio table!
- Cons: sometimes busy and it should be. not too long of waits on sat night though
