Some of my friends were surprised I wanted to
celebrate my birthday here because of its “young” reputation. The crowd on the outdoor patio is always
older. We ordered the nachos and
Southwestern egg rolls. The Southwestern
rolls are spicy, not too much – just enough to wake up your tastebuds and make your
nose run a little bit, but nothing to set your mouth on fire. I love the nachos here, even though the
cheese is fake, gooey cheese – think Taco Bell.
The guacamole is fresh, chunky, just the right balance of everything –
heat, lime, hint of onion, sweet avocado.
Our friends ordered the fried dill pickles (one of my favorite pub grub
foods). In the past when I have had
fried pickles, the pickle slices were discs, kind of like how you get fried
zucchini. The Deja Brew fried pickles
are pickle spears. More pickle that
way. They come with a ranch dipping
sauce. Personally, I prefer remoulade
sauce with fried pickles, but that’s me.
Our friends also had a club sandwich that they shared. My husband had a chicken panini that he
scarfed down – always a sign he really likes something. Me, if I really like a dish, I savor each
bite and take my time to make the yumminess last. This was a perfect night to sit outside and
something to savor, because before we know it, it will be cold in Chicago
Deja Brew Bar & Grill is located at 5219 West 95th Street in Oak Lawn, Illinois.
