We got together for my sisters 30th birthday. They had dollar burgers on special. The burgers were a good size and tasted great. Bloody Marys are AWESOME!!
Abby A.
Came here for NYE last night. $15 cover, they had a live band in the main area of the bar playing rock which was pretty cool! Thanks Holsteins!

The best bloody Mary's AND free pizza on Fridays. The pizza is so good. Reminds me of the pizza on the south side which is hard to find in Tinley. My husband and I love coming here.
Jewel M.
We ordered the steak nachos and they were very good. I was happy to see such a great craft beer list (most of them on tap)
Primo N.
Cool bar on Oak Park Ave. to grab drinks and eat all the free pizza you like as long as you're ordering drinks. The pizza is offered with one free topping and it comes out quick and hot.
Grace D.
Best waitresses ever! I had a spectacular time with the friendly staff, prompt service, and delicious food. My friend and I will be back.

We almost always get an adult beverage and they have yet to disappoint with those. The food is good & I love their curly fries.

Spent a fair amount of time at Holstein's as a group of friends are regulars at Wednesday night trivia there so I have gotten to recognize many of the servers and for the most part they are all pretty great.

I have only been here for lunch, repeatedly. Good lunch specials; excellent $1burger, good wings, decent tacos. The staff is friendly and accommodating.
