Mo Dailey’s Pub & Grille

Stopped by earlier for a bite, it’s in my neighborhood. Great sliders, nice people and a really neat space. The hall to the restrooms had some thoughtful and interesting photos, neat stuff to look at. I’ll be back, hope they stick around.
I like Unilocal but hate the naysayers that pull the ratings down based on one experience which was most likely a mistake. Just had to add that because I’m surprised they only have an overall rating of three stars. Maybe some of those folks complaining should just go to Subway, it is next door after all.
Next time I’d like to go with a huge group and try a bite of every app on the menu, they all looked great! Same for the desserts…

Love this place! My husband had passed by here a few times and we decided to stop in. We ordered the cheese curds, Mo burger with chips, and the Double D burger that came with tator tots. My husband had a Jolly beer from The Traveler, an East Coast company. The food menu was pub food but different, which I really liked, and it was so satisfying! Everything was in house which I liked too. Service was wonderful and the place reminded me so much of some of the pubs we went to in London and in Ireland. I also loved the décor, with old firehoses, a fire ladder, and Mo’s old police uniform. Mo’s own daughter who now runs the restaurant also checked on us, she is so nice! I would definitely come back here — it looks like a lot of fun on weekends, it’s a good crowd, the food is good, the service is good, and it looks like a great place just for a drink or getting together with family and friends. It’s a pretty down to Earth good ol’ pub with reasonable pricing.

From ALL Chicago sports or Karaōke on Friday nights, this is the place to be. Come watch the Blackhawks play, guaranteed to be sitting next to another fan. This place has all the excitement as if you were at the game. Management cares about your experience, servers are pleasant, and bartenders are great. Menu has everything for the entire family. From wings to their Turkey Club, you’ll never walk away disappointed. Check out their Dailey Specials.

Service was slow and I just didn’t like the vibe of the place. The music selection of dance tunes and pop music isn’t the genre I care for. The food I saw being delivered to other patrons didn’t look all that appetizing, so I passed. Parking was difficult, even with a lot on a slow night.
I can’t say definitively that I’ll never be back, though it isn’t likely.

I have been there for karaōke a few times but am mainly a regular for trivia for about a year now. I have had nothing but problems and try to be as patient and understanding as possible, and even give feedback to help remedy the issues. But, I have gotten defensive and rude responses. I even got yelled at for an accusation that wasn’t true. The service is horrible and the management is rude and unprofessional. And, I am happy to see others agree since they act like I’m the problem. I have had several food related issue such as, but not limited to, adding nuts to a dessert when not asked for, and the item normally doesn’t come with them. And most of the times, it isn’t visable. So, I didn’t notice until I ate it. Luckily, I don’t have food allergies but plenty of people do. They don’t seem to want to fix their reoccurring issues. Although their food is decent, I wouldn’t recommend it. There’s better places with better food and better service. Unfortunately, my friends and I have to still go back since we are part of the trivia league through Sprocle. We go once almost every week for the league. I went from spending about $ 10 – 30 a week there. Doesn’t seem like much but it adds up each month, and they don’t seem to recognize that. They don’t seem to appreciate their customers business, let alone their regulars. Now, I try to not order anything unless it is my only choice since I come from work. Since I first started, there has been a drastic change in the number of patrons each week including regulars for trivia. I am sure they had the same problems. I would not be shocked if they go out of business, or get sued because of a careless mistake.

Avoid this place like the plague. If you want to witness drug deals in the bathroom, an extremely rude and unprofessional owner, by all means, go there! Oh, and their food is terrible too.

This place sucks! I’d give it no stars if I could! Seriously the worst service in the city with servers who would just as soon spit on you as look at you! Their management is very rude and unprofessional as well as food that is iffy at best but you feel like you have to order it to not be rude, even though the servers are rude to you for no reason… just really horrible and I will not be frequenting this establishment anytime soon unless changes are made in personnel and cuisine expediently!!!

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place like the plague. I have been a regular of Mo Dailey’s for several years, as I attend Karaōke night on Fridays. While I love the karaōke there, I need to let people know what happened to me this past Friday. I went there with my husband for a drink and karaōke. Well on Saturday morning when I got home, I noticed that my debit card was missing. My wallet has a zipper around it, so there is no way that it would have just fallen out. This means that someone stole it, or it was accidentally left behind at the bar. I called the bar twice in the afternoon to see if it was returned, and was told it was not. No one however offered to take my name or number in the event that it was returned. Later that evening, when checking my bank account, I noticed an unauthorized charge at a bar down the street. The charge took place at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. I then called the bar back to let them know that my card had been stolen there as a courtesy, so that they could be on alert as people could also be stealing from inside the restaurant. It was a courtesy. I was calm and kind about it. Well, the response I got was far from a thank you. The person who answered the phone, who I believe was the owner yelled at me and said you’re card wasn’t stolen, it was returned back here this evening. The person who returned it said that you had dropped the card and was continuing to go off on me and accusing me of things that weren’t true. This was beyond unprofessional. First of all, the card was probably returned because the person who stole it couldn’t use it anymore. In addition, if had been dropped, why wouldn’t they have just brought it back in on Friday night instead of waiting 24 hours to go back to the bar? Again very suspicious.
Since I was unable to get anywhere with them on the phone, I then went to their web site and posted what had happened. Again, I got a very defensive response and was told that would never happen in their establishment. Again, explain to me how I had my card at midnight in a zipped wallet and by 2:30 a.m. there was an unauthorized charge at a bar down the street? In addition, the owner removed my comments from their Facebook page.
I then got a phone call from the owner basically apologizing, but also still blaming me, and again reiterating that it didn’t get stolen because someone returned my card. They also said that they earlier in the night had cut up my card. Um, why on earth would you do that, instead of locking it somewhere and giving the patron at least 48 hours to contact the bar? They also said that no one had contacted the bar earlier that day to ask about a lost card, which again was NOT TRUE!
I have been a regular for a long time, and have kept my mouth shut for too long. In addition to the rude manager who yelled at a regular, I have experienced repeatedly slow service, understaffed service, rude and pushy servers, wrong orders, drug deals by employees in the bathroom, and employees smoking outside while I am waiting for my food (which really seems unsanitary). Since I was a regular, and I enjoyed karaōke, I let it go, but not anymore. In addition, I have noticed that most of the servers aren’t there for very long which should have told me something about the management from day 1.
I am sure that the manager will give a defensive response to this at some point, but honestly that just proves that they aren’t confident in what they are doing, and that they are not open to true feedback from their regulars, AKA the people who keep the business alive. All I had wanted to hear initially was a thank you for letting us know that, we will look into that, but instead I got an attitude, yelled at and a fake apology. Needless to say, I will be taking my business (and my friends who go with me on Friday’s business) to another location on Friday nights that appreciates their regulars and treats them like family instead of yelling at them.

I think giving this bar/​restaurant two stars is generous.
We went on a Saturday afternoon to grab a bite to eat. There was four tables being served and it took over an hour to get our food!
Not only was the service slow but the waitress didn’t even know the menu. She had to grab it from my mom to check & see if what she was ordering even existed.
By the time our food arrived we were starving & completely let down by the quality. Southwestern salad was terrible, along with the quesadillas. I’m not sure how you can screw those up, but they did!
Not only that but the price for the quality of the food did not match up. I was so close to walking the extra two blocks to go to Iron Horse & I’m sad we didn’t. Won’t be returning to MoDaileys.

Was planning to go here for a drink or two but was called ignorant by the «owner». Tried calling to check if they carried a certain drink, phone rang for a period with no answer during regular business hours. Later received a call back from Megan who did not properly identify herself as a Mo Dailys representative let alone the «owner». Thought it was a wrong number, tried to politely hang up. 3 calls later told «ignorant» and not to bother coming in. Don’t worry, don’t plan on it

Great place to go. Friendly staff. Karaōke with Shane is second to none. Great sound, huge selection of songs and top notch singers.
Great selection of food and drink specials. Clean and welcoming. I love the outdoor seating in the summer. It’s convenient because you can bring your drink outside if you step out to smoke or vape. I strongly recommend Mo Dailey’s.

Great place! Since I moved to NP no bar/​restaurant has been as welcoming. The bartender was super friendly. I told him it was my first time and he told me the history of the place and all about the police and fire theme. The owner greeted me. Shook my hand, welcomed me and told me about the events they have and specials. I came in on a tues afternoon so only about 6 people were there, but the crowd was good and everyone was kind.
On food, I got a wrap and toys for $ 8! The SW wrap was delicious, tater tots were satisfactory and apparently they have outdoor seating too! Great space! I def will be back :)

Well this was my first time here and it was the Blackhawks game. So of course it was fairly crowded just as any other bar I would have gone too. My friends and I were very fortunate in finding a table underneath a TV. So as we sat down about 15 minutes later a server approached us and asked what we would like to drink. I look at their beer menu and it was a fair selection. What annoyed me was the amount of beers they did not have i stock. But whatever I am here to just watch the game. i order the Lagunitas IPA on draft. She came back about 15 minutes later and dropped off all the drinks. We were hungry and decided to order some food and this is where it got interesting.
I order a burger, my friend ordered a sloppy joe and chicken tacos. Since it was really busy I did not expect to see my food for another 30 minutes to be fair. But when the food came out I was missing a few things. My burger was suppose to have lettuce, onion and tomatoes. It only had lettuce. A server should always come back to check on their guests the moment they get their food not 15 minutes later. Anyways I ask for my onions and lettuce and a side of BBQ sauce. She comes back 10 minutes later with ketchup and tomatoes and more lettuce. I wasn’t trying to have anything ruin the Stanley Cup final so I gave in and just ate my food. My friend’s chicken tacos was so salty it was unbearable to eat. I mean I have had salty tacos but you’d think that flavor would cancel out after lettuce, sour cream and etc poured on top of it. After we ate we pretty much just continued to drink till the game was over.
When the Hawks won we just closed out our check and headed out because the fun was over. All in all its a nice place to hangout if you’re in the local area. But you prob might not find me there anytime soon.

All in all, not a bad place to catch a Hawks game. We showed up on a Friday night about ¾ of the way into the 1^st period and had no trouble getting a place to sit. There are plenty of TV’s for a good view from anywhere.
Service was a little slow, but I feel like they may have been short staffed. We shared some appetizers — I tried the beer nuggets and the buffalo chicken dip. Both were really tasty — there’s a reason why buffalo chicken dip is referred to as crack. I just wish that the tortilla chips that were served with them hadn’t tasted extremely stale. Oh well.
I’d definitely come back for hockey, a burger, a beer… and I hear they have karaōke on Friday nights.

Any place that serves tater tots as a side is fine by me!!!
This place has been here a while, and I used to live in this area. My parents still do so I frequent the area often. This is most definitely the nicest of neighborhood bars in the area! Clean, roomy, great menu… everything! I wish this place was around when I was still living here. The entire strip mall is actually somewhat «new». If I still lived here I’d go more often for sure.
Came here for lunch on a Tuesday… pretty dead, but the service was great, and friendly!!! I saw some video somewhere (I can’t think of the source) but it featured their cheese curds… way better than Culvers! You can’t really score that great of cheese curds south of the Wisconsin border but these were up to par!!! SOOOOOO good!!!
My lunch of chicken fingers with a side of tots was great! And how can you pass fried oreos for dessert and NOT order them??? Yep… got those too! The quality is a bit higher than regular ol’ bar food. I suggest checking this place out!

Decent place to watch a game. Service was a little slow at times. Got the burger sliders which were alright. Wouldn’t go out of my way to go here again.

If you like gravel and rubberbands in your food, then this is your place! I’m not even kidding, and not much of a reviewer but after this experience last Sunday 4÷12÷15, I had to share.
Typical slow service was expected but when one from our group pulled a dime sized rock out of her mouth from her grilled chicken ceasar wrap, it took a serious turn for the worst. The manager had it re-​made on the fly and minutes later, my boyfriend pulled out 2 black pieces of gravel from his mouth. He also took a re-​order and half way through his 2^nd chicken ceasar wrap, pulled out a 2in round sized rubberband. How does that even happen?! Can that be an accident?! Doubt it but seeing as the manager did not show her face to our table again, she probably didn’t have a clue. Pretty rude and rediculous.
Another order at our table were the sliders which were not even edible. The buns were so hard that even after banging them on the table, not a dent was made. Two others barely got their food, those came at the end around the time the rubberband shenanigans happened.
I’m seriously concerned about the food quality and standards for everything in this kitchen so if you like your teeth and health, I’d avoid this place.
Thankfully we did not have a bill but I still feel as though we got punked.

I have very few complaints about Mo Dailey’s. This is our new neighborhood bar of choice. The service is pretty good (sometimes slow if there’s a crowd but it’s understandable) and the servers are very nice and fun to talk to. It can sometimes get loud, depending on what’s going on. So if there’s a Blackhawks game or it’s karaōke night, don’t expect to talk at a whisper and be heard. But it’s never crazy crowded.
The food is good. It’s bar food, so you can’t have very high standards, but their pizza is good and I like the Buffalo Chicken Salad. Drinks are cold, game is always on, not a bad seat in the house. And the décor is nice. It’s all CPD and CFD stuff, since it’s around where all the police and fire fighters for Chicago tend to live.
The only complaint I have is that it seems like all of the tables here are wobbly. I wish they’d get that fixed. But seriously, that’s my ONLY complaint.

I had high hopes for this place but was disappointed. First, the pluses:
They have a parking lot, no more refilling the meter. The food was pretty good — standard fried bar food, nothing to write home about but they have a menu with good variety (and some vegetarian options!). Drink specials every night of the week. The atmosphere inside is pretty cool, dark but clean and decorated like an old firehouse.
The downsides:
Holy smokes, the service was sloooow. They only had one server working the entire room, so everything took forever. Yes, she was kind and doing the best she could, but they were making it really hard on her.
There are TVs everywhere, this really is a sports bar. This may fall in the plus category for some. The audio was tuned to a game while we were there, so if you’re into that sort of thing this would be a good place for you. Sit at the bar so you get better service.
I probably won’t be back, just not my kind of place.

Pretty neutral on this place. There is parking which is a plus. The atmosphere was nice, outdoor seating was nice. Came on a Tuesday night, apparently karaōke night if you are into that. Seemed like a nice set-​up with a huge song selection.
Food was decent, beer selection and specials were decent, server was attentive.
Overall I would say this is a pret
