Overview: Whitlock’s Bar and Grill in West Cobb is a fine dining restaurant with a contemporary edge, great food and affordable prices.
Recently renovated, its décor boasts a new wood and stone design, large booths and the soft background music of a New York piano bar. If you are more familiar with this restaurant as the former Chicago’s, Whitlock's Bar and Grill's general manager Carlos Jiminez is eager to point out the updates and differences between the two.
Along with the updated interior is a new menu. Angus beef and fresh seafood are still the most popular menu choices and Chicago fans will appreciate seeing many of their favorite entrees listed. While the old menu was large, extensive and a little laborious to navigate, the new menu is more succinct and has easier-to-read sections. It is still large, varied and features a delicious Sunday Brunch.
Kids eat free on Saturdays at Whitlock's Grill. Regulars love piano player Danny Staggs. Sing along and dance all night with Staggs on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. Open Mike night on Sundays from 6 to 9 p.m.
The newest change at Whitlock's Grill is designed to bring fine dining to its customers: Whitlock's Grill will now offer delivery service weekdays to homes and businesses nearby. Go to www.whitlocksbarandgrill.com for details, information and online menus.
