Get your Brit On at Elephant & Castle! Nothing feels as warm and inviting as sitting down at the pub and sampling a taste of Britain. The old Union Jack behind the bar may be faded, but the mood is vibrant. Strategically situated in the heart of Chicago's central business district and attached to Club Quarters Central Loop hotel, E&C Adams is the best of both worlds whether you need convenience to tons of businesses and government buildings or want to see one of the many sights within walking distance such as the Symphony Center, Willis Tower, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

    While our waitress was fantastic the food all seemed to be frozen food that was heated up and thrown on a plate. Just okay.

    The options for food were great, great place to go for a quick business meeting. There were 4 of us that went but 1 of us ordered from their gluten free menu and also mentioned an allergy to garlic and asked for everything to be plain and unseasoned. The veggies came back smothered in butter and small garlic chunks which, if not caught, would have been eaten. Thankfully it was noticed and the meal was remade. Food allergies are not something to be slipping up on but everything else was great about the experience.

    Great place. Food was delicious. Waitress was so nice and funny. Already planning a trip back. The Wee Pie Flight was the perfect amount of each pie. The fish n Chips were are in my top five of fish n chips. The sauce was fantastic. The bread pudding took my breath away. Save the room for it!

    We got there. Sat down. My daughter asked for allergy menu which they told was online. I asked for a Diet Coke. Got our drinks. Then they told us there was a chemical leak and we had to leave. We did. Waited outside to see if anyone else was leaving. No one else was asked to leave. I called the restaurant to “ask about their hours”. Said they were open- had tables open- come on in. Not sure why we were told to leave. Messaged the restaurant. No response. Messaged again. No response.

    Unfortunately, bussing was not a thing at our table last night. The check was brought to us and we still had dinner and dessert dishes on the table. The food was good, service was good (except for the bussing issue), food arrived quickly, and it was a good value for being downtown. When I stopped to (politely) share my experience and constructive criticism upon leaving, the response I got was "I'm just the host." I would have hoped for something closer to, I'm so sorry you had that experience, I will let management know for the future. As hostess, her job was to look at my reservation and note that I had requested a low-top table. We were seated at a high-top...sigh. We will try again next time we go to CIBC, as I feel this was not a typical experience at this establishment.

    Food was good, however we asked if the chicken pot pie had mushrooms in it. Obviously she made up the answer because it was full of mushrooms. Takes only one second to ask the chef but a long time for me to come back to a restaurant that can’t provide the truth about their food. That was the disappointing part of our experience.

    Very friendly and accommodating host, waitress, and food server. Food was very good (French toast, omelette, fresh fruit, potatoes, cocktails). Comfortable atmosphere and a good value. One of the best places in the loop for weekend dining, breakfast to dinner - Many places here are closed on the weekends or have limited hours. Shout out to Camry.

    We enjoyed the fish and chips, having ordered an extra piece of fish and sharing for lunch. The cole slaw was very good, but definitelya skimpy portion for even 1 person. Overall good value in a pub setting.

    It s not the first time i go to this Elephant Castle, as it s closed to my office so whenever i got some guests at my job or for a 1st day meal of a new hire, this is my go to address. Always good vibes, confort and regular food are ok, various drinks, beers etc. However yesterday the waiter and his service was not great ( was a blond guy) you can tell that we were bothering him, despite a table of four people, with drinks and food ordered. One of my guest (actually my boss) was upset by his behavior and called him a moron, he just didn t care.

    Food: I had the bangers and mash. Sausage was good, however the mashed potatoes were a little dry and not very warm. Service and atmosphere: unlike some of the reviews I saw, my server was attentive. Only issue was that if you sat near the bar it could be very loud.

    The beer choices were endless, but the food was not memorable. Fish tacos were bland. The salmon was way overcooked and very bland. The setting was nice and the service was good. I'd go here again for drinks, but not for dinner.

    Loved this British Pub. We both had Chicken Pot Pie, which was served with a flaky puff pastry crust. It was seasoned perfectly. It was served with a spring mix salad, which was also very good. Service was great, folks were very nice and the price was perfect. Would have eaten here more than once, if we had found the restaurant sooner.

    Went on a Thursday night before the theater & it was super crowded and extremely noisy. We could not converse at the table without screaming to one another. Our server was very nice but stretched way to thin resulting in very slow service. Have eaten there many times before, but would recommend avoiding on a Thursday night if you want to be able to talk with others at your table and receive their usual service levels.
