Been coming here for over 20 years. Always Awesome here. Smoked wings pizza is top notch! Just one thing that we were sad about....no chicken pot pie. That's one of our favorites. I'm sure it'll be back.

My husband and I split a pizza on GF crust (cauliflower crust), southwest salad and an order of baked wings and had leftovers for another meal.

The wings, as you can see, were dry as hell. The pulled pork had a gamey taste. The baked beans tasted like straight out of a can. The baked macaroni and cheese was okay, the topping made it dry and it had no flavor. The cornbread was dry and no corn flavor. The only good thing was the coleslaw. I just wish it could have tasted better for the price.

Unfortunately, my drink was overly watered down, and there was a mix-up with one of our orders. Despite these minor issues, I'd probably go back for a burger and a beer.

The staff seemed uninformed about gluten-free options. When we asked the waitresses to check with the kitchen about which dishes could be made gluten-free, they responded in a combative manner. One waitress even argued that they refer to their food as "gluten-friendly," not gluten-free. The unpleasant attitude and poor service led our group to cancel our order, which was over $75, and leave the restaurant.

I’ve noticed a friendlier atmosphere, more consistent and delicious food, and an overall better experience. Although it’s not the most convenient location for me, the quality keeps me wanting to return time and time again. Awesome job, Bluestone team!

After a disappointing visit to the restaurant next door, he truly made our evening special. The quesadilla and Philly steak were both delicious. We can’t wait to return!

Small, cozy, but well thought out space with a full bar, flat screens there, and a nice dining room. Noisy, bright space lends itself to conversation and group fun with a few romantic tables for couples. Menu is quite nice with a California Midwest kind of fusion vibe. Basic bar food, great (Candlelite Chicago look it up) pizza, bowls, salads, wraps, and sandwiches are uniformly impressive. Nice patio seating in good weather, too. Will be a frequent stop for us and our pals. RECOMMENDED

The fish and chips were also excellent. On top of that, Coleen was incredibly friendly and professional. We will definitely be making this our go-to spot!

Like many restaurants, this one faced challenges during COVID, but we're actually enjoying the current menu more. There are plenty of healthier choices available, such as the hummus plate, and I find the steak and fries to be quite delicious. One of the main reasons we choose this place is their selection of Athletic Brewing IPA, which is one of the best non-alcoholic beers out there. When we're unsure about where to eat, the variety of non-alcoholic drink options often helps us make our decision.

The wine was served at the ideal temperature, but the standout aspect of my visit was the outstanding and friendly service! I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Although I only visited Evanston once, I will absolutely come back.
