The wild game options on this menu are second to none in the city . With portions for any size group, it makes for a enticing party option. Excellent beer/cocktails and side patio are nice accents.

John Hankus

Had a whole pig for a party. Good meat with super tasty Mac and cheese and corn bread . Boy scout cocktail is tasty. Be prepared to wear your stretchy pants because you will over eat.

Remy Pannier Rosé D'Anjou 2015 ($12). "Great paired with oysters , it's so smooth you really could drink this all day,” says beverage director Sean Nielsen. Read more

Alex Adams

The pulled boar sandwich was delicious. So were the fries , eat them while they're hot! Ahi tuna sandwich was awesome as well . Seared to perfection.

Altagracia Montilla

White hummus is a great way to start the evening. Duck tacos are a great choice if you're not looking to order a large dish- the juicy, seasoned duck meat will please an appetite.

William Quiñones

Delicious food and great service. Tried a few sharing plates and they were delish. Highly recommended!

The five-cheese mac at Frontier arrives in a scorching-hot cast-iron casserole pan plopped on a weathered wood cutting board, the browned crust bubbled up over the sides of the dish. Read more

Time Out Chicago

The burger , made with Slagel Farm beef , is perfection, and the lollipop wings , breaded chicken drizzled with buffalo sauce and ranch, make eating classic bar grub a more civilized affair. Read more

Time Out Chicago

Chef Brian Jupiter's food leans toward the hearty, like charbroiled oysters , whole-animal feasts and the more time you spend eating dishes like the pan-roasted striped bass , the more sense it makes. Read more

Zach Daniel

Surprisingly poor selection of beer , basically all of the generics. Good for wine , good food, especially planned parties. With enough notice, they'll prepare an entire animal for you!

Lisa W

Get some West Coast oysters , a bit sweeter than the East Coast variety. If you haven't had fresh oysters before, this place is a good spot to try it out.

Bill Sindewald

Recently organized a group brunch event here, everything was great! Wonderful food, drinks, and service.

Time Out Chicago

Chef Brian Jupiter’s rustic cooking sets this woodsy sports bar apart from the pack. Through Lent, Jupiter’s offering a $10 Friday fish fry for dinner only, which comes with hand-cut fries . Read more

The game-heavy dinner menu here includes rabbit salad , duck and andouille gumbo , and smoked wild boar shank. Read more

Karen Johnson

Love the small plates to share concept. Try the kale & apple salad or the duck tacos

Lindsey Woody

You can order whole cooked animals, for your next family gathering, of course. Otherwise, check out their fried rabbit & waffles for brunch ; instead of your usual chicken & waffles !

Michele Grzegorczyk

Great place to hang with the locals and watch a game! Unique food choices like an awesome Ahi Tuna sandwich .

Damariz Gonzalez

Get the lam ribs . You can taste the smoke wood. The lobster Mac cheese Everything is great.

Josh Rangel

If you like a spicy Bloody Mary , you will not be disappointed here. And, the Mac & Cheese is top notch.

Clare OC

Best Ahi Tuna sandwich I have ever had in my life!!!!! Risotto is fabulous too. Great beer selection cool atmosphere.

Time Out Chicago

Chef Brian Jupiter's ballsy food (e.g., a Super Bowl option to order a whole animal that feeds 10-15 people for $400), adds another component to the mix. Read more

Bethany Lang

Gluten free options are highlighted on the menu. Deviled eggs and dill pickles are great! But yes, it is pretty bro-y.

Krista

The ahi tuna sandwich with rosemary fries is great (mmm wasabi ) and a very generous portion . Big enough to split, IMHO.

David Johnson

Bring an army and get a whole boar . Fricking outstanding.

Jason Gardner

Great beer selection , can't go wrong with the pulled boar sandwich !

ISC Chicago

Excellent atmosphere, a lot of unusual items. It really is the frontier!

Matt Cosentino

Great game and other exotic meats, never disappoints.

Fallon Leyba

decent fare. happy hour oysters are main selling point

L K

Good draft beer selection , and some unique mixed drinks .

Michonne

Get a side of Jup's Hot Sauce to drizzle over your Mac & Cheese . You will not be sorry.

Jyoti Gill

$1 oysters Monday-Friday 4-6pm and all day on Mondays

Michele Grzegorczyk

Great place to watch the game on a Sunday afternoon. Ahi Tuna Sandwich is a must!

Tim Mulcrone

The shrimp and grits are quite possibly the beat grits you'll ever have anywhere.

Doug Wilber

Sit at the chef's table in the back. Tasting menu is awesome. Oh, drink tons of bourbon there too

Daniel P

Decent (not amazing) beer list .. Be sure to order some oysters a la carte

Nice relaxing, upbeat place. Quality smelling and tasty food

If you want the best service look for the handsome bearded man behind the bar ! He's name is Israel!

Lucy Lou

Fun spot to watch the Bears, sit at the bar , bring silly string , wink

Michelle Kemmer

Natasha is great, makes great cocktails . Super friendly staff ! A must for Noble Square

David Christian

Go the bar and have Jenna make you an old fashion...Game changer...

A little on the pricier side. Oysters and fried shrimp were ok.
