Spent a rainy day enjoying the cozy atmosphere of the Midwestern. The smash burger and breakfast burrito were outstanding. The sports bar vibe was great, with music perfectly balanced for easy conversations. We savored handcrafted drinks made by our attentive waiter, Nate.

After being told Yesterday at Mr Thirsty’s they could not accommodate our group of 12 to order food with one cook and the bartender being extremely rude we decided to try this place out! Without hesitation of our group size the bartender & the cook took us on. The food was delicious, the bartenders were awesome and so friendly and the atmosphere was great as well. If you’re looking for great food awesome service and amazing food give this place a try!

We’ve been to The Midwestern on Main Street twice now and had an amazing experience both times! Had the Main Street Smash Burger and the West Loop Burger on our first visit which were delicious, and the Breakfast Burrito and Loaded Breakfast Potatoes were just as impressive our second time around. Tried the Surfside seltzers our first time. Tried the seasonal drinks our second time which are super tasty and creative, I had the Witches Brew and the PSL. The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and fast both times. Great atmosphere all around. Highly recommend. Parking along the street is free - there’s parking around back as well which is also free. Only one bathroom inside but more outside by the patio. Hightop tables are more comfortable than the barstool seating. No bag holders under the bar fyi. Live music lineup is awesome. They’ve played a great vibe, and it’s not super loud - can still hold a conversation if needed. This spot is definitely one of our new favorites in St. Charles!

This is one of the shotgun buildings on Main Street serving as a bar with a moderate menu of bar food -- wraps, salads, sandwiches, and one basic 2-patty smash burger. They also offer what looks to be a solid brunch menu on weekends. Very clean, friendly service, good food. Oh, if you're a AB fan, don't hold it against them for serving Coors.

Fun little bar with good music and great service! The devised eggs were delicious! Great flavor and nice smooth consistency. Also had the steak nachos and corn ribs. I thought the steak could have used some extra seasoning and the corn ribs needed a sauce for dipping. Overall pretty happy with everything. Prices were reasonable as well. I would eat here again and definitely recommend giving them a try!
