Flew in from Dallas and needed to feed my "Flesh Prison". My son found this place. Guy's the food is great the bartender was... great. I had the New Orleans Chicken Sandwich with fries. Ordered a Mutiny IPA 6.2. Get to Chicago go to Marco's!!!!! Read more

You can’t find a better burger anywhere else. I’ve always enjoyed the atmosphere and attention to detail. Always remember... to order the cheese curds. Read more

11/19/22 This was our first time visiting this outstanding restaurant, and it won’t be the last time. Upon entering this... checkerboard table clothed room, you get the feel of an old country cafe. The menu is simple but complete for many differenttastes. Since it was our first time, we ordered their house Black Angus burger and French fries. They were delicious and juicy!We loved the fresh cut, skin on French fries. Whiles waiting for our food we enjoyed a cocktail generously poured. As a treatMarco brought us a wonderful sample of their shrimp cocktail with cocktail sauce and horseradish. It was a jumbo size shrimp andit was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back for their shrimp cocktail. As we drank and ate the restaurant started to getbusy, which we were happy to see. Marco’s Northside Grill is definitely a real find, take it from a former chef and restaurantcritic. I hear that there is outside seating under a tent in the rear and some seating in the front. This little place should beput on your must try list. When you go there, tell them that Barry sent you. Tap on the thumbs up ???? below ???? before youleave. Thank you. Barry Read more

Was not happy with the wings. The menu says extra jumbo wings so I was excited to actually get a decent sized wing. I was... wrong because what I got were small winglets. They were not jumbo at all. I only ordered the wings because the menu said extrajumbo. They even have on the online option for wings that says "We mean it!" regarding the extra jumbo. Very disappointed,. Iwould have liked it to honestly just say winglets because I would have known what to expect. Read more

Wonderful food, we got there just before close and Eileen was so nice, Marco took time to talk to us about origins of the menu.... Was a great evening and will definitely come back, highly recommended. Read more

Grilled Shrimp and Nick Bell band. Great as always. Marco is the best!

I'm local and have been coming to Marco's since the beginning! Lately they've been adding specialty items like the Italian... sausage (pictured). Incredibly delicious and made to order! On Sundays you can also enjoy beignets and coffee! And must have forfolks that want something sweet! Please support Marco as the pandemic has really bogged them down. You won't be disappointedwith your meal! This sausage was the best I've had on the North Shore and completely beats out the sausage from Sarkis. Read more

Friendly service and a fun place to hang out, we enjoyed the bingo game too. Based on the other ratings I honestly had much... higher expectations and wanted to like the food more, but its only average bar food. There are a lot of fried food optionsthough, breaded wings & mushrooms, loaded tater tots, cheese curds and hand cut fries. Read more
