nice beer garden in summer, rude people

by jacko75

It's a nice place to sit outside in the summer. On more than one occasion though when going at night the bartender was wasted, rude and picking fights. He was an awful to me and my girlfriend for no reason. Later in the night he picked a fight with a guy sitting a few seats down. Ridiculous. Food is just ok, tater tots are a highlight. The other people behind the bar refuse to do anything about it and are not much better than him. Avoid this place, too many other great bars in the immediate vicinity to waste your time with people who are going to be rude.

• Pros: outdoor seating
• Cons: rude people

Good beer garden, great good, but...

by elcind

This is my first review as I usually do not write these, but I have been to Justin's a few times and live in the neighborhood. I really like the bar, beer garden, and I have always had great food, but the one thing I do not like is the lack of weekly drink specials. I understand no specials on the weekends, but I like to go places during the week that have some sort of drink deal. I am a student and tend to frequent places that have at least a decent special and it seems that everytime I have been there, they do not offer anything but the obscure beer of the month. When it comes down to it, if I want to go out on a Monday, I usually try to go somewhere that is not going to cost me my very small paycheck. Especially since there are a ton of bars in the same area that offer great deals during the week.

• Pros: good food
• Cons: no drink specials

Best chicken wrap in Chicago

by Gobears42

As you drive up and down Southport your choices for a burger, fries, or sandowch are endless. As a repeat visitor, I can say that Justin's consistently provides firendly service, awesome food, and a relaxed atmosphere. My favorite menu item is the blackened chicken wrap (also available with steak) that comes filled with guacamole, chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato, and mexican cheese. I know what you are thinking, "How can you mess up a wrap?" Give it a try and you will undestand why I measure every other wrap I eat against this one! Justin's also has a great burger and tator tots.
