If one were to judge Chief's Pub by the raucus reunion party of Lake Forest university grads having a great time in the corner, one would judge it well. The fact that this bunch went out of their way to return to their old stomping grounds is a testament to Chief's staying power in the community. With a fresh update in the form of a remodeled dining room and new coat of paint, what's old is new again.
That freshness extends to the menu as well, where the solid beer list and extensive pub grub menu make return trips an inevitability: it's impossible to try everything. From pizza to ribs to burgers to wings to wraps and sandwiches, Cheif's has any appetite covered, whether you're hungry for comfort food or the comfort of an old familiar place.
