I went for lunch. I need to go back for dinner to give a fully accurate review but here is the review for lunch. They seem a bit full of themselves. The menus was a sheet of paper where 1/2 listed the food items and the other 1/2 was advertisments for themselves. I don't want to see the prices for their apparel on my menu. Now that I am past the menu...
I ordered their chicken wings, husband ordered the chicago style hot dogs. Both were very good. They did the chicago style hot dogs justice. Too bad those were just a special and not an everyday menu item. The chicken wings were good and there were a lot for $10 so it was a good deal but if I am downtown and I want chicken wings I will go to Black Dog or Farren's which both have superior wings to these.
I had a fruity slush full of rum drink. That was good.
Basically the place was good. Not great. I could see going and sitting at the bar, drinking beers, eating wings (all you can eat wings should be a weekly special), and watching some sportball. But even that experience can be had at local places Guido's and Esquire.
The best seat in the house is probably the front window where you can watch the goings on of Neil Street and you have a nice view of the Jane Addams Book Shop.
I will go back for dinner and try some of their more talked about food.
