Ok, the purpose of this review is to somehow get the people who run the Chatterbox to change their menu! I live within walking distance of the Highland location. I want to love the Chatterbox. I want to WANT to go to the Chatterbox. But I don't. Why? The food! After giving it a shot many, many times I have had enough. It all tastes the same. The menu looks great but after few visits you'll wise up. Not sure what it is - some herb or spice they put in everything or what. But every dish has the same overriding flavor. It's great for drinks after you've had a bite somewhere else. But I walk past it thinking I wish I could enjoy a meal with my beer. And I'm not the only one in the hood that thinks this. The consensus is overwhelming. I'm not sure about the food at the other locations but hopefully it's not as bad as Highland Chatterbox.

I've been to Chatterbox almost every week for the past four months. After having been to Chatterbox, my friends and I can't go to any other bar. The atmosphere is so relaxed; great place to talk, drink, and play Boggle. They brew their own beer and make their own great tasting sodas (ask for a Pepsi and they give you their version of it.) My brother's favorite is an easy lager though a Belgian white is good as well. Fries come with an array of different sauces. The staff is great; making us feel like regulars after the second or third week of going. This place is just the best hang out spot; so much that we can't go anywhere else.

The Chatterbox get's voted "Best Bar and Grill " every year!! They were named One of the best Bars in America and one of "America's Top 25 Best kept Secrets". They get this by being unique, consistent and good at what they do. The staff is very friendly and colorful. The food is gourmet bar food made on from scratch breads and mind blowingly flavorful sauces. The grill cheese is made on handmade foccacia, with cilantro pumpkinseed pesto, fresh tomatoes, stringy smoked cheeses and is great when they have the fresh tomato dill soup!!!! Mmmmmm... I can't speak for the other comments, I am sure that the staff is human and a new cook can happen, but year over year they get awards for being consistently good!

OK...we are old and yeah, our kids that took us there were young. Oh, yeah, a great time was had by all!.. All of us had great food...too much of it, had to take some of it home! The drinks were excellent and we had the best service. Great people work in there. Oh, and if nothing else you HAVE to order the onion rings. I have never had onion rings like that. I couldn't get the recipe but will continue to search for it...I have to have more of them.....wish I didn't have to drive 400 miles to get them! Cute atmosphere...have to agree with the other reviewer...kinda like grandma's basement...or the basement we all had in the 70's! Uh, if you happened to be around in the 70's that is. Been there done that...had a great time...just check it out and have a good time! Would go again!

I was excited to find a new place to live close to a great looking little pub. Walking in, the place looks great, with a clientele neighborhood folk, aging punk rockers and young hipsters. Service is generally good, but there are a few staffers that are not people-people. (Rude or cool? There is a fine line.) Good for a few beers and good people watching. If the kitchen did not try as hard, the food would be better. Avoid the fried foods, they tend to be drenched.
