Cheescake Factory
(01/03/2000)“My co-worker and I were in Chicago on business and went to eat on a friends suggestion. Was so pleasantly surprised. Everything was fun, good, and service was great! Cheesecake was amazing and delicious! Would go back on any business trip! ”
Cheescake Factory
(06/27/2000)“Very good food...excellent cheesecake! Good food for the price!”
Pizzeria Due
(06/20/2002)“Again if you get to go to Uno's, Duo's or Lou Malnotti's the Pizza is to die for. The space is cramped in Duo's and across the street is Uno's so if one is packed (always) the other will take your name to. Or go to Lou Malnotti's a fab pan pizza don't miss it.”
Pizzeria Due
(04/21/2005)“If there is a better Chicago-style deep-dish pan pizza, I challenge you to find it!!!”
Grill Room
(02/18/2012)“The Grill Room, a casual restaurant/bar in Chicago, arguably has the best steak in Chi-Town. Also, if you do like to have a few drinks here and there, you will not be disappointed because they seem to be a bit heavy handed while they're pouring (if you know what I mean). They also appear to have ver... ”
Ed Debevic's Short Order Deluxe
(10/19/1999)“Ed's offers a truly unique dining experiece for any age group. the sassy 50's enviorment paired with the outrageously wierd servers equals a good location for almost any occasion. Crowded as expected and the food can be a bit messy. Prices okay for a chicago resturaunt”
95th Restaurant
(03/15/2000)“Brunch was delicious and affordable. Buffet offered wonderful variety of cuisine. Outstanding view of the city from the 95th floor!!!!”
Pizzeria Due
(10/01/1999)“excellent for lunch, social atmosphere”
Pizzeria Due
(01/20/2001)“I enjoyed the old town feel of this restaurant. The closeness of the tables made it a little cramped, but that ended up adding to the restaurant's charm. The pizza was like none I had ever experienced. It was almost drowning in tomato juices from the freshly cut tomatoes on the top layer; definit... ”
Captain's Hard Time Diner
(09/22/2012)“My sorority had a breakfast affair there in September. Since I don't travel into the city much for food. I was pleasantly surprised by the elegance of the decor, the helpful wait staff and the enticing and delicious breakfast of sausages, bacon, fried chicken,waffles,grits hash browns, sweet rolls, ... ”
Ed Debevic's Short Order Deluxe
(09/08/2003)“straight out of happy days, with cheese-ball atmosphere. sure, if you want to be insulted and eat very average food, go! otherwise, chicago has too many great places to eat to bother with this.”
Chicago Brauhaus
(07/28/2000)“Wine very good, bread basket outstanding, food overcooked and generally tasteless. Ripchen was dried out to the point of being tasteless. Fried potatoes were fried beyond eating they were so dry. As far as I was concerned it was a bad experience which I shall not repeat.”
Chicago Brauhaus
(07/07/2001)“There are better places to go in Chicago for German food but you cant beat the Brauhaus for fun, cheesey, hoaky atmosphere and overall fun. The band is light and fun and I have always had a great time. The food is only average but the kitchen is spotless.”
Cheescake Factory
(06/28/2007)“I had lunch at this location and received the worst possible service. First,after being seated, at least ten minutes passed before I finally tired of waiting and I had to ask a hostess who was staffing my table. She had to call the waiter to come to my table to greet me. Second, but more important... ”
Goose Island Clybourn
(09/17/2005)“Goose Island used to be a wonderful neighborhood brewpub but with the growth of the Lincoln Park neighborhood this establishment has begun to suffer -- most notably in the area of service. My most recent visit was by far one of the most excruciating experiences of my life. I was seated in the bar ar... ”
Cheescake Factory
(07/11/2007)“I will never understand what people like about this restaurant. Neither this location or the Skokie/Old Orchard is anything to boast about. There are exactly two things that are good on the menu besides their namesake (the cheesecakes are delicious). The service is truly horrific. They hire all th... ”
