Jake Melnick's Corner Tap

I used to come here almost everyday after work, ten years ago. We just went for dinner last night, and it hasn't changed a bit, which is great. They have the best wings of anyplace I've ever been. Definitely get ponchos wings, and the "xxx" is legit the world's hottest wing, no joke this could damage your mouth (they give you a fire mans helmet if you eat it!) They do terrific BBQ here, great beer selection, and a really good non alcoholic "pop" menu too. It's rowdy, sports oriented, and lots of fun!

Went in around 5 PM for an early dinner and even though the place wasn't super crowded, we were greeted by the host as soon as we walked in the door. They gave us a nice window seat in front of the fireplace which kept us nice and toasty. The food was super delicious. I heard that they were famous for their wings, so my girlfriend ordered the bone in wings and I ordered the boneless wings. They were delicious! Overall, the staff, the food, the ambiance was perfect.

One of best wings in Chicago! My all time favorite is the firecracker and poncho wings. The burgers, nachos, and skillet corn bread are also awesome! Try the specials (wings, burgers, beer, etc.) of the month.
Great for groups, carry out and they also deliver.

The place was super busy, so we put our names in with the hostess. They have a very sophisticated waiting system that texts you, so you don't have to stay close or stand around waiting. It was a weekend, so it took awhile to get seated. The food was great, but our waitress not so much. This wasn't all her fault though, as she seemed to be covering way too many tables by herself. We had to run people down and catch other wait staff for drink refills. Food was very good though.

If you love chicken wings, you’ll have to visit this place when you’re in Chicago. They have big servings that is good for sharing. They also have everyday specials and happy hour. The location is easy to find and they have an outdoor seating. Good music and there are Monitors if you want to watch some American Ball games.
