Caddyshack Restaurant opened Tuesday in Chicago’s Rosemont section at the Crown Plaza Hotel; this is the second location of the golf-themed eatery, with the first having opened in Florida 17 years ago.
Fans of the 1980 Bill Murray movie “Caddyshack” are expected to join fans of various movies by the Murray brothers — including Ed, Joel, Johnny, Andy and Brian Doyle — and general golf fans at the restaurant, which has more than 30 TVs and a sports bar atmosphere, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The lunch and dinner menus will use golf terminology such as “The Greens” for salads and “The Finishing Hole” for desserts, the Sun-Times reported. Some menu items also will be golf-themed, like a double bogey cheeseburger and “Caddyshakes,” WGN TV reported.
The menu is mostly comfort food, Brian Doyle-Murray told the Chicago Sun-Times in a previous interview. “It’s not fine dining, but it’s gonna be consistently good,” he said. “You’ll go away happy and full.”
The Murrays grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and they were on hand for the restaurant’s opening Tuesday morning, Eater reported. The brothers are all avid golfers and have a genuine love for the game. Bill Murray fielded most of the questions and touted the bacon as having "a wow factor."
Murray also plugged the paper straws the restaurant will use in an effort to keep plastic out of landfills and oceans, Eater reported, crediting his son’s marine biologist girlfriend for the move.
“She says plastic straws are the worst thing in the world and it’s everywhere and they don’t really recycle,” Murray said in a news conference about the opening.
