Exchequer Restaurant & Pub

The Exchequer is another restaurant/pub in Chicago's loop. It is supposedly known for its famous ribs, but we both passed on that option. The menu is fairly extensive, with everything from pizza, ribs and pasta to seafood, sandwiches and salads. They even have a Capone burger! They also have a bunch of fun Chicago sports and movie memorabilia on the walls.


Despite the plethora of menu choices, we both chose fairly ordinary dishes. I chose the penne pasta with meat sauce. It was alright. Nothing spectacular, but decent and the serving size was rather large. Jenn got the 8" portabella mushroom pizza, a thin crust pizza topped with a generous layer of fresh portabellas. It was very good, but again, nothing to write home about.

Overall, we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the Exchequer, but the food itself was nothing special. With that said, we would probaly not go back, except maybe to try those ribs. We give the Exchequer a 7.8 out of 10.
Quality of Food: 7.5
Value: 8.0
Atmosphere: 8.0
Customer Service: 7.3
Overall 7.8
