When you name your restaurant after Trappist monks who've spent centuries perfecting their craft, you're serious about your beer. That's why we hired a master to craft our house brews and why our beer list spans the globe. With everything from refreshing pilsners that match the lightness of our thin-crust pizza to dark, rich ales that stand up to our decadent burgers, you're certain to find a new favorite at The Lucky Monk. We're sure that our Prime beef burgers — served with hand-cut fries — will be the juiciest you've ever had. Our other house specialty is pizza. It is crisp and generously topped with fresh ingredients. And we round out our menu with vibrant, flavorful salads; a handful of classic, satisfying American entrées; and some sweet surprises.

Overall, the best restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Chicago. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main courses felt a little short, but still we’re good . And I did notice that they forgot to give us our onion soup and sparkling water we ordered

Great food, incredible service. Our table was close to the service station so lots of plates clanking, but not anyone at the restaurants fault for that. Just if you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere maybe be asked to be seated away from the kitchen

The ribeye steak was perfect, it had a delicious side sauce. We had a cheese board as an appetizer and it set the mood. Our wait staff could not have been nicer. It's our 3rd time at the Saddleroom and we will be back.
