What People Are Saying About Morgan's on Maxwell: Bar & Grill
Featured Review

In Short – Located at the former heart of the city's vanished Maxwell Street market, this spacious bar offers something for most, with two dozen beers on tap, including choice imports like Paulaner, Trumer and Grolsch, and an extensive food menu. UIC college students and locals mix it up at the long ranks of four top tables and standing drink rails radiating from the large 36-stool bar. Sports and top twenty music videos alternate on omnipresent tv monitors.

A place to hang with friends
by Ms Popular at Citysearch
Great place to hang with friends. Not only college but local as well. Love to watch sports there, always a good time. Food menu has pretty many choices. Looking for a fun place, check out Morgans
- Pros: Lots of Beer Selection

badly disappointed
by Abel M at Citysearch
Went there for a quick drink and some food. The food was just OK, but when we got the bill, we found that we were charged for an extra round of drinks. When we tried to explain the situation to the waitress, we were told we were wrong. They called the cops. We paid the bil since we were told we really had no alternative besides going to jail. Nice job, Morgans. You truly put the customer first. Across the street is Junior's. Another bar but I haven't had my bill padded there.
- Pros: looking for a beer
- Cons: had our bill padded

Awful service
by kymmgreen at Citysearch
The waitresses are slow and inattentive. Food is mediocre. Staff is only a reflection of management. Management is belligerent and hostile.
waitress FINALLY came to receive cash payment for services. Had to LITERALLY track her down for change. her response "Oh, you wanted that back?? Bill was 35.20 & all u gave me was 2 twenties--that's not even 15%. H ow much do you want back??"
manager defended her position--stated "she is best waitress we have??" Did not address the inappropriateness of her attitude-or FACT that she was going to keep a patrons change. Then stated that if we had a problem with his staff or "how" they operated we should take our business elsewhere. If that is type of hostility and service you desire--this is the place for you. SAD---location and neighborhood offers so many other possibilities than this appalling behavior.
- Pros: Its in Chicago
- Cons: staff, management, service
