The Prairie Tap is as close to a community haunt as you can get in one of the busiest airports in the world. Armed with Frank Lloyd Wright inspired decor, standing tables and a small bar, and good eats, the Prairie Tap is the best place in the ORD to wait for a delayed flight or grab some grub to eat on the plane.
The owner has a great bar-yapping personality. He can chat you up while pouring up glasses of drought beer for others. M has talked to him about running races while she waited for her mushroom burger.
We've gotten burgers and dogs here on a couple of occassions and have been pleased. Not the best burger you've ever had, but it sure beats the fast food joints in the nearby food court. The portions are generous and the food is flavorful. I'm sure that we were the envy of coach with our warm plates of food from Prairie Tap.
