Serious EatsMay 14, 2013The Buffalo wings at Toon's have an "exceptional balance of crunch and juiciness," with a pleasing depth and detectable smokiness to the meat." Some of the best in the city.
Burgers are awesome, wings are crispy & delicious, chili is great (soups are homemade), but po' boys are spot on NOLA! Wash it down with a pint from the impressive / unpretentious taps. Get you some!
Chicago TribuneApril 30, 2015Order the chili, made with three different types of chilies and Italian sausage. The tortilla chips on the side are fried in house, bless them. Read more
They do several NOLA-style Crawfish Boils during the Spring, from Mardi Gras through Memorial Day. Advance tix gets you all the mud puppies you can eat!
Bob DeGraffApril 13, 2018Really good food and drink specials. Try the catfish Po' Boy. Pretty decent Italian beef sandwich for a bar.
Time Out ChicagoDecember 6, 2011Try the onion rings from our 100 Best list: They’re executed with attention to detail—thick-cut rings dipped in beer batter, fried golden and sprinkled with salt. Simple but standout.
Mr. Saro.April 30, 2011I love toons. Great bbq and good beer selections. Cool place to come and grab a beer if you can stomach all the cubs fans. Be sure to check for FourSquare tips. We just got free shots!- Serious EatsMay 2, 2013This neighborhood bar serves some of the best Buffalo chicken wings in the city.
- Time Out ChicagoMarch 30, 2012Wednesday equals Toons, the classic Southport Corridor bar whose juicy, hand-formed, half-pound, no-frills Toonsburger is only $4 Read more
Nice sports bar / divey atmosphere. Predictable bar food but good for groups - it's huge!
Love the wings. Get them with a mix of the bbq and buffalo sauces.
Sarah PhillipsNovember 12, 2011Amazing hot wings with blue cheese! Great neighborhood bar I like to visit when I'm in the area!
AdraOctober 10, 2010Yes, the service is terrible. But they have a bloody mary bar on Sundays, which is awesome. And it's a KC bar, so a great place to watch Chiefs games.
Mary Sue SomyakDecember 4, 2011Aside from a dude sporting Uggs next to me it's a solid bar...free pineapple shot for checking in, too!
A great neighborhood bar with shockingly good food and selection.
thanise skourasJuly 26, 2011Wednesdays $4 burgers! Get a side of cajun mayo to dip your fries in. TO DIE FOR! :-)
$4.00 burgers and pineapple vodka shots on wedensday nights! And they serve Abita beer. 'Nuff said.
Chris SchinkSeptember 11, 2011Play 1 game shuffle board, 2 games of pool, whistle 3 times and a fluffer comes out of the back
Amazing place to catch the Kansas City Chiefs play on Sundays!!
If you do not order the buffalo chicken strips, you are a fool.
Cedric A.November 30, 2010Wings have a little kick, just a little saucy, but still tasty. Fries are pretty good...
Laura KowalskiOctober 10, 2010One of the few bars with batch 19 on tap. Get it before it's banned...again.
Andrew VachrisJanuary 18, 2012Do you see a dashing gent with hair like a dog's in a Hossa jersey? Say hello see what happeneds.
Mercedes HerreraJanuary 29, 2011They have bouncers that don't sand by the door and then try to grab you after you walk in - this place SUCKS!
