Yak-Zies Bar and Grill: User Reviews

Never again
By Wing Lover from Ravenswood, June 12, 2008

Overall rating:

After leaving the Cubs game in search of good wings, we entered Yak-Zies which turned out to be a big mistake. The owners skimp out on tv's, air condition, and customer service. We ordered a plate of Chicken Wings and received a plate of Smurf wings (smallest wings I have ever seen). When it came time to pay our bill, we could not find the waitress for quite sometime. After finding her, she informed us that the establishment is 'Cash Only'. This place needs alot of work !

Empty feeling

I should of relaized that there was a reason this place was empty on a friday night. I went because on the website they advertiseed $2 drafts. When I asked what was the special, it didn't match. They did not honer the websdite. I ordered a run of drinks and the tex chicken pizza. I was very disappointed with the pizza. The generic brand at Jewel would of been better. The watress was not accomidating. Attitude was it is what it is and I can't do anything about it. the staff had very poor attitude and overall I did not have a good experience.

Are we in the 90's?

First thing is first, they really need to update their TVs and with their $9 quesadillas (which has four pieces) it shouldn't be hard! Another thing, what bar doesn't accept credit cards? Well apparently Yakzies doesn't. So once again, they should take the money from their overpriced food and use the money they save from not running credit cards and at least update their old school tube TVs. On a good note, we had decent waitstaff and there were good drink specials.

worst service

I was here last week, and my friends and I left after the waitresses were audibly talking about our table. They were doing shots with the bartender even though our drinks were empty and then threw us an attitude after we went up to the bartender for drinks after they clearly weren't going to wait on us. Oh, and the wings were minute.

Good place to go in Wrigley

If they would update some of the tv's right when you walk in it would be better and in the back-

Good bar food, decent specials, have a large covered patio for when it's warm-

This is a cash only bar so be prepared, there is a Bank of America machine down the street and they have their own ATM's there but a high fee-

Where does this place find their employees? I have tried this place a handful of times now, and the service is always awful. The bartenders are a joke. It's so much for fun at Yakzie's on Diversey. Maybe they should do all the hiring.

I tried to give this place another try after poor service in the summer (figured it was due to being a Cubs game), and I was yet again disappointed. The service is just plain terrible. The waitress sat at the bar and watched whatever reality show was on, and she pulled attitude when another person in our party asked her for an extra side. I'll make the trip to Diversey.

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! Rude wait staff, and I'm pretty sure my waitress was wasted. Not worth the $$, and no credit cards? The place is a joke!

I used to love to come to this place and always had a great time. Unfortunately, my last visit may also be my final one. I was there last weekend with my wife and received horrible service. I could understand if there was a game on, but it wasn't that busy.
